(Translation from the Portuguese Original)
Dear Shareholders,
In 2010, the Group was mostly focused in adjusting the Company's strategy to the new macroeconomic conditions, evident in the severe reduction in economic activity which followed the financial crisis and in the liquidity crisis which affected the banking sector in general, and particularly Portuguese banks – also facing financing difficulties -, causing additional constraints to companies. These translated in a sharp fall on demand for tourism real estate – with impact in troiaresort -, and in a general slowdown in construction activity, mainly in residential and leisure buildings, as well as in air conditioning and commercial refrigeration facilities in new buildings – both residential and offices – with impact in the Selfrio Group.
The more difficult access to credit facilities did not hamper our ambition to invest, although at a reduced pace, in projects which we regard as important. In the past year, we invested around 10 million euro aiming at, among other, complete landscape works in troiaresort and start the construction of an events centre, with a capacity for 630 people, so that troiaresort can be presented as a completed project, and within Spred, promoting a new project in the energy business (reconversion of a fuel oil cogeneration facility into a gas facility).
We now have the objective of, through all available means, better communicating to our customers the high quality of investments made in troiaresort and also in hospitality - Porto Palácio Hotel and Aqualuz Lagos and Tróia hotel apartments in the Sun and Beach tourism segment – winning their preference for our services.
Following the slowdown in activity, we took the time to rethink our organisation and its size, namely its structures and corporate functions. We have set as objectives to optimise costs but also to improve, through training, the quality of our human resources.
At the same time, we also improved our information systems, updating their architecture, so as to improve quality and transaction execution and control, of both current and investment transactions.
Simultaneously, we sold assets that had already been assessed as non-core, generating a significant cash inflow of around 50 million euro. We maintain the objective of selling other non strategic assets over the next couple of years.
The Board of Directors which will be proposed to shareholders includes only five directors (down from seven), which we believe is enough to ensure day to day operations and the development of new tourism projects in the future, which correspond to a construction area of circa 305,000 m2 .
We would like to express our gratitude to those directors who have been with us and are not proposed to continue as board members, Mário Pinto, José Luís Amorim (Executive) and Rafael Cerezo, Pedro Rezende (Non-Executive), for their cooperation during the last 3 years, being certain that we will continue to rely on their advice.
I would like to express my gratitude to employees, in general, for sacrifices made in a particularly difficult period, and convey a word of confidence in the future.
Maia, 31 March 2011

Unless otherwise stated, comparable figures (presented within brackets), percent or absolute changes mentioned in this report refer to the comparable period of the previous year for performance figures and to the year 2009 for financial position figures.
Following the sale of the shareholding in Box Lines, which became effective on 16 September 2010, this business unit's contribution to performance figures is disclosed under discontinued operations in both 2010 and 2009, together with those of the Plysorol Group and Elmo in 2009, and are no longer included in the consolidated financial position of the company as at 31 December 2010. Like for like comparisons throughout the report refer to continued operations, in both 2010 and 2009.
Following the internal reorganization process carried out during 2009, SC Assets, SGPS, SA was made independent from Sonae Turismo, SGPS, SA at the beginning of 2010, and is now responsible for real estate investments and for property management of real estate assets. Comparable figures presented in this report for the year 2009, were restated to reflect the new business portfolio configuration made up of the three current sub‐holdings: Sonae Turismo, SGPS, SA, SC Assets, SGPS, SA and Spred, SGPS, SA.

Turnover for the year amounted to 178.6 million euro, the main contributors being Selfrio (79.7 million euro), Box Lines (26.9 million euro nine months contribution), Fitness (18.5 million euro), Hotels (14.5 million euro) and Resort Development (14.1 million euro).
Operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) was positive 2.8 million euro in 2010, with positive operational margins at most Spred businesses, namely Selfrio Group (6.3 million euro), Box Lines (1.0 million euro nine months contribution) and Energy and Environment (1.0 million euro), and at SC Assets (1.9 million euro). Atlantic Ferries contribution was negative 0.3 million euro. In Tourism, Fitness contributed with positive 2.6 million euro to consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA), while contributions from remaining businesses remained negative at ‐6.2 million euro in Hospitality, ‐ 1.0 million euro in Resort Management and ‐0.9 million euro in Resort Development.
The Net loss for the twelve months, amounting to 3.6 million euro, includes 6.9 million euro gains from investment income, of which 6.6 million euro came from the sale of Box Lines and 1.0 million euro from the sale of Sonae Turismo's catering business unit. Profits from associated undertakings contributed with positive 5.6 million euro, mostly from the Imosede Fund, TP and Norscut.
Following the slowdown in economic activity in 2010, and the short term macroeconomic outlook, cash management and cost control have become more critical than ever within the Group and are being addressed to ensure its resilience in the future. Capex has been restricted. Cost reduction measures, begun in previous years, will continue at the operational and corporate levels, so as to offset part of the increase in the cost of debt which is undoubtedly linked to tighter credit and higher financial transaction costs. In addition to operational cost savings the Group remains focused on the sale of non‐core assets, which may deliver significant cash inflows.
In the first half of 2010, the World Economy entered a clear recovery mood, following the trend of growth already shown in the second half of last year. During this period, world GDP grew 5.2%, driven by the performance of emerging economies, in particular BRIC countries. Most recent public statements by leading international institutions forecast, for the second half of 2010, a slightly greater slowdown than expected in the pace of recovery in the world economy.
In its most recent forecast (World Economic Outlook issued in October 2010), the IMF forecasts growth in GDP of 4.8% in 2010 and 4.2% in 2011. The world economic recovery disclosed by international institutions is still incipient and characterised by uncertainty and market volatility, with clear imbalances between the momenta currently experienced by the major developed economies and emerging economies. In the former, private consumption and investment are still depressed in the aftermath of the financial crisis, with high and persistent unemployment rates and expected GDP growth of 2.7% in 2010. In the latter, expected GDP growth is 7.1%, driven by growth in internal demand and investment, rather than the more common growth in exports.
The behaviour of financial markets across the world, albeit with different performances, has obviously impacted macroeconomic environment. In North America, uncertainty and economic slowdown have translated into investments being transferred into financial assets with lower underlying risk, in particular German Bunds and Gold. In Europe, peripheral countries have been faced with financing costs close to historical maximums, as a result of investor uncertainty over the success of fiscal and budgetary policies put in place to control excessive government deficits. On the other hand, emerging markets stock indices performed very positively, delivering signs that may anticipate a scenario of economic overheating, in particular in Brazil and China.
The scenario of economic recovery expected for 2010 is extensive to the Euro Area, which should grow at a 1.7% rate in 2010, according to the latest projections published by the European Commission (November 2010 European Economic Forecast). Internal demand will be the main driver of economic growth, with expected growth of both private and public consumption, together with a slight increase in net exports and a decrease in investment. The trend of GDP in the Euro Area is based on different underlying economic assumptions for each member state, with Germany leading growth while peripheral economies will impact negatively the overall performance of the Euro Area.
In 2010, economic performance in the Euro Area was strongly influenced, and will surely continue to be in the short term, by a strong dependence on the banking sector, since financing constraints will remain, with a consequent impact on consumption and investment, mainly in peripheral economies. Although interest rates are at historic minimum levels, financing costs remain high due to increases in spreads, a result of economic and financial instability and consumer lack of confidence. Inflation should remain at low levels (estimated growth rates of 1.5% in 2010 and of 1.8% in 2011), against a background of falling demand and persistent high unemployment levels (forecast to be 10.1% in 2010 and 10.0% in 2011).
During 2010, raw materials' prices kept the increasing trend already noticeable throughout 2009, a trend supported mostly by growth in demand from emerging economies. In 2010, the average price of crude oil reached 79.6 dollars a barrel, compared to 62.09 dollars in 2009. Most recent forecasts for 2011, point to an average price of 87 dollars per barrel, which, if confirmed, will be the second highest annual average ever (the historical maximum was 97.7 dollars per barrel in 2008). This trend reflects the expected recovery of world economic activity and the resulting increase in demand for raw materials.
In 2010, the slowdown in growth of the Portuguese Economy was reversed. This long negative period lasted since 2008 (GDP growth rates: 0.0% in 2008 and ‐2.6% in 2009), because exports were severely impacted, due to the effect of the financial crisis on Portugal's major commercial partners, while investment was restricted because of lower internal demand and the need for companies to deleverage their balance sheets.
Most recent forecasts (European Economic Forecast of the European Commission, November 2010, and The Winter Bulletin of the Bank of Portugal, published in January 2011), show a 1.3% growth in GDP (‐2.6% in 2009), driven by growth in private consumption (between 1.6% and 1.8%) and by an increase in exports compared to the previous year (between 9.0% and 9.1%). Inflation should increase to 1.4% in 2010 (‐0.8% in 2009) and unemployment should exceed the 10.1% historical maximum recorded in the 4th quarter of 2009. The last quarter of the year should show a significant slowdown, compared to the first nine months of the year, that will persist throughout 2011, as a result of a continued and significant decrease in internal demand, in all of its components, which will be partially offset by continued growth in exports. Latest projections already include the impact of budgetary deficit reduction measures presented by the Government on 29 September 2010, which the European Commission estimates will reduce the government deficit to 7.3% of GDP in 2010 (9.3% in 2009).
Forecasts issued during 2010 for the Portuguese Economy have been successively revised downwards, pointing to a contraction of the economic activity in 2011 (forecast of ‐1.3% by the European Commission and of ‐1.0% by the Bank of Portugal), assuming a scenario of decrease in internal demand and increase in exports. Continued restrictions on access to credit, the impact of budgetary policy measures and the persistence of high unemployment rates, will have a significant impact on economic performance during the year, leading inevitably to decreases in consumption and investment (both governmental and private).
During 2010, the following material events were announced to the market:
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed about the sale of 100% of the share capital of Societé des Essences Fines Isoroy, as well as loans to Essences Fines, for 2 euro, to Essences Fines Holding, SAS, a French company owned by third parties. The positive impact of this transaction on the 2010 consolidated results amounted to 1.5 million euro.
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed about the agreement signed with Via Marítima – SGPS, Lda, a company owned by the Sousa Investimentos Group, regarding the terms of the sale of the whole of the share capital of Box Lines – Navegação, SA. This transaction results in a cash inflow of around 10.5 million euro, with a positive impact of 6.6 million euro on the 2010 consolidated results of Sonae Capital.
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed about the decision of non opposition by the Competition Authority to the sale of its entire shareholding in Box Lines, on 16 September 2010, with the contractual terms for the sale becoming effective as from that date.
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed about the development, by its subsidiary Integrum Colombo ‐ Energia, of a reconversion project turning the fuel oil cogeneration facility located in Colombo Shopping Centre, Lisbon, into a gas cogeneration facility, with an estimated investment of around 6 million euro and an installed electric power capacity of 6.6 MW. Once the investment period is over, Integrum Colombo will be responsible for the management of the cogeneration facility for a period of 15 years (with expected start in January 2012).
Other announcements worthy of mention include:
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed that Sonae ‐ SGPS, SA acquired 16,600,000 shares representing 6.64% of the share capital and corresponding voting rights of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA.
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA informed that Banco BPI, SA sold 16,600,000 shares representing 6.64% of the share capital and corresponding voting rights of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA, reducing its qualified shareholding in Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA, to 2.301% of the respective voting rights.

Consolidated turnover for the year was 178.6 million euro (272.2 million euro), with contributions from each business as follows:
Selfrio was by far the year's largest contributor to consolidated turnover, delivering 79.7 million euro, which represented a 6.9 million euro decrease over last year's figure, mostly due to 14% lower turnover in the Refrigeration business, which amounted to 37.5 million euro, reflecting the general economic slowdown and its impact on investment spending, both in its retail and industrial customers. The HVAC business has also experienced a drop in turnover, although to a less extent (circa 3%), to 35.9 million euro, while the contribution of the Maintenance business grew marginally, remaining almost flat at 6.3 million euro.
Fitness increased its turnover by 3%, to 18.5 million euro, through both an increase in the number of active members and growing demand for value added services (namely, Personal Trainers and Day Spa).
In 2010, the catering activity was discontinued at both the Porto Palácio Hotel and Tróia hotel units, as a result of the sale of that business unit. In 2009, this business had turnover of 2.8 million euro at Porto Palácio Hotel and 0.4 million euro at Tróia. Excluding this impact, turnover increased in all hotel units during 2010:
Resort development's 2010 turnover, amounting to 14.1 million euro, includes 25 sales deeds signed in the year for residential units at troiaresort, of which 4 refer to Beach apartments that were exchanged during 2010 for troiaresort Village units.
Excluding the impact of the Imosede Fund (accounted for using the equity method since June 2009), SC Assets contribution to consolidated turnover increased 2.0 million euro, to 6.5 million euro. Sales of real estate assets amounted to 2.8 million euro, with the remainder 3.7 million euro being income from rents and other services rendered. Sales of City Flats increased year on year (6 deeds signed in 2010 versus 3 in 2009), and one of the apartments was exchanged for an apartment in another SC Assets residential condominium.
Energy and Environment turnover grew 4.6 million euro, to 5.1 million euro, mainly driven by the cogeneration unit acquired in September 2009.
The 7% decrease in Atlantic Ferries turnover, to 4.5 million euro, was a result of lower vehicle traffic volume in 2010 (15% decrease). Passenger traffic grew 10% during the year, and was consistently above last year's figures from June onwards.
Consolidated operational cash‐flow for the year was positive 2.8 million euro with contributions from each business as follows:
Spred's core businesses, Selfrio and Energy and Environment, delivered positive contributions to operational cash‐flow (EBITDA), although evidencing different trends compared to last year's figures:
In Tourism, Fitness posted a positive 2.6 million euro contribution to consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA), a slight 0.1 million euro decrease over the same period last year, reflecting internal reorganisation and maintenance costs.
Resort development generated a negative 0.9 million euro operational cash‐flow (EBITDA), including the margin generated in the sale of 21 residential units in the year (net of residential units exchanged during the period) and general fixed costs regarding the maintenance and operation of the troiaresort site (last year's 41.1 million euro contribution includes mainly the margin generated in the 147 sales deeds signed, which largely offset fixed costs).
Hospitality yearly contribution to consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) was negative 6.2 million euro, a 0.6 million euro decrease over last year, despite improvements in operational performance across all hotel units. Non‐recurrent costs resulting from internal reorganisation have negatively impacted contributions from each hotel, which were as follows:
Excluding the impact of the Imosede Fund (accounted for using the equity method since June 2009), SC Assets contribution to consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) decreased 1.2 million euro, to 1.9 million euro for the year.
Atlantic Ferries operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) was negative 0.3 million euro, down 0.1 million euro as a result of lower vehicle traffic in 2010.
Operational loss (EBIT) was 13.8 million euro, down 46.4 million euro, due mainly to the weaker operational performance during the year. In addition:
Net financial expenses amounted to 8.5 million euro, down 0.6 million euro as a result of the lower average cost of debt in 2010, following the fall in market interest rates.
Results from associated undertakings grew 3.0 million euro, to 5.6 million euro, the increase being explained by Imosede Fund, TP and Norscut.
Investment income for the year, totalling 6.9 million euro, was positively impacted by the 6.6 million euro gain on the sale of Box Lines and 1.0 million euro gain on the sale of Sonae Turismo's catering business. Last year's income of 10 million euro included an 8.7 million euro gain on the sale of the whole of the shareholding in Sonae Indústria.
As a result of the above, the net loss for the year was 3.6 million euro, compared to a net profit of 24.4 million euro in 2009, including the impact of lower current tax and higher deferred tax, the latter resulting from impairment losses and tax losses carried forward.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, turnover from continued operations decreased 1.9 million euro, mostly due to the lower number of sales deeds signed for troiaresort residential units (4 in 2010 versus 6 in 2009, figures which include, in both years, 2 residential units which were exchanged for other residential units in the resort), which explain around 0.7 million euro of the decrease, and to the sale of Essences Fines in the first quarter of 2010, business which contributed 1.3 million euro to turnover in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Regarding quarterly operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) from continued operations, major positive contributors were Selfrio (up 0.4 million euro to 2.7 million euro), Energy and Environment (up 0.1 million euro to 0.4 million euro) and SC Assets (in line with the fourth quarter of 2009 at 0.8 million euro). Selfrio's quarterly performance is explained mainly by investment projects which had been delayed during the year and were only completed in the fourth quarter. Consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) amounted to negative 0.8 million euro, a 2.7 million euro decrease most of which was due to Resort Development (down 1.9 million euro), Hospitality (down 0.8 million euro) and Fitness (down 0.8 million euro). Most of the lower contribution from Hospitality in the quarter was explained by troiaresort hotel units, following the internal restructuring of teams carried out in the hotel business. Fitness contribution in the quarter reflects costs related to the delayed opening of the new unit (which was postponed to February 2011), as well as refurbishment works in some of the existing units.
Results from associated undertakings amounted to 3.2 million euro in the quarter (0.9 million euro), and increased due to Norscut (up 1.7 million euro from nill contribution in the same period last year) and TP (up 0.5 million euro to 0.9 million euro).
Investment income of 1.2 million euro (‐0.1 million euro) is almost entirely explained by the gain of 1.0 million euro recorded in the period on the sale of Sonae Turismo's catering business.

Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA Report and Accounts
troiaresort is Sonae Turismo's flagship project in the development and management of tourism resorts.
The site, located on the Troia Peninsula, 45 minutes from Lisbon international airport, was officially opened on 18 September 2008, offering major tourism facilities and residential units for sale, as part of the first investment stage. By the end of 2009, these facilities were fully operational and construction of residential units had been completed.
In 2010, troiaresort's new institutional and commercial websites (www.troiaresort.net and www.estates.troiaresort.pt) were launched, including the new institutional movie.
Up to 31 December 2010, total investment in troiaresort amounted to 263.9 million euro (including VAT), split as follows:
| Values i n 106 euro |
|
|---|---|
| Amount already invested |

| Total | 263.9 |
Real estate projects available for sale or co‐development at troiaresort include:
Investment in the Lagoa apartments is currently on hold, since focus at present is on selling residential units on the peninsula that are already available and completed, before starting a new phase of investment. The Eco‐Resort and the Hotel Resort are currently regarded as projects available for sale to or for joint development with third party investors.
The sales status of projects already concluded and available for sale, as at the date of this report is as follows:

3 Average sales price (€/m2 ).
4 Average sales price of the plot of land, since the buyer is responsible for construction. All plots have an approved GCA of 343.8 m2 .
Since the last reporting date (16 November 2010), up to 1 March 2011, the number of net units sold increased by three. Four Beach Apartments already sold were exchanged for four troiaresort Village units, one sales deed was signed for a troiaresort Village unit and another one for a Marina apartment and one promissory purchase agreement for an unit in Ácala building was signed.
As at 1 March 2011, there were 2 outstanding reservations for one residential unit in Ácala building and one unit in troiaresort Village.
The outlook for 2011 remains cautious, in view of perspectives of slowdown in demand and continuing difficulties in access to bank credit.
Resort management comprises a set of ancillary services in the Group's only resort platform in operation, troiaresort, among which:
Both turnover and operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) improved in 2010 compared to the previous year, mostly driven by troiamarina (with improved occupancy rates) and troiamarket (higher average purchase per visitor).
In 2011, marketing initiatives will be launched to increase troiaresort's visibility in foreign markets, namely in Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Netherlands and Scandinavia. The decision on the location of the 2018 edition of the Ryder Cup may also improve awareness of Litoral Alentejo, where troiaresort is located.
Sonae Turismo manages 5 hotel units, with an integrated offer of services (SPA, Congress Centre and food court), namely:
After extensive refurbishment works over the past years, 2010 was the first full year of operation of Sonae Turismo's five hotel units, translating into the following financial data:
*Contribution excluding the impact of the catering activity
Excluding the impact of the catering business, which was discontinued in 2010, the performance of each hotel unit can be summarised as follows:
Porto Palácio Hotel increased its turnover by 6%, to 7.8 million euro and improved its operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) by 0.9 million euro. RevPar increased 8% compared to last year to 36.8 euro, as a result of higher occupancy rates. Average daily revenue was 91.8 euro, down from 94.0 euro in 2009;
Marketing efforts will be made in 2011 to reduce seasonality by capturing events which may very well be organised in Tróia. The opening of the Casino should also contribute to increased visibility of the troiaresort.
In 2010, Solinca Health & Fitness continued its expansion plan, which has resulted in the opening of a new unit with around 2,300 m2, in Vila Nova de Gaia, in early 2011.
Turnover grew 3% in 2010 to 18.5 million euro, due to an increase in the average number of active members (28,518 in 2010 vs 28,146 in 2009) and in revenues from value added services (personal trainer, Day Spa, among others).
The overall macroeconomic scenario for 2011 will impact negatively the performance of the fitness business, due to reductions in consumer spending and the increase in VAT, which is still under discussion as far as applicability to the use of fitness facilities.
Residential Development
The first stage of construction of the Efanor Residential Condominium, involving the structure and exterior walls of the first building, Delfim Pereira da Costa, was completed in 2009. This building has 40 apartments with a gross construction area of around 12,600 m2 .
The showcase apartment was inaugurated on 26 November 2009, thus enabling the company to promote the differentiating features of the project to specialist media and potential buyers.
Due to the current adverse macroeconomic environment, which has resulted in investment decisions by potential buyers to be postponed, increased difficulties of access to bank credit and excess supply in this segment in the Greater Porto area, the company is currently assessing alternatives to proceed to the second stage of construction work (finishing), since the number of pre‐reservations set to fulfil the investment needs was not achieved during 2010.
City Flats is a residential complex (212 apartments) located in Quinta das Sedas, Matosinhos which was completed in the 4th Quarter 2007, comprising:
This project is currently under commercialization.

The real estate asset management area is responsible for property ownership and management, procurement services, sales, building technical management and condominium management of real estate assets owned by Sonae Capital.
As at 31 December 2010, Real Estate Asset Management portfolio included a set of assets, which can be grouped into the following categories:
| Assets in Operation | Sonae Business Park | Projects under development and for sale |

SC Assets turnover increased 2.0 million euro, to 6.5 million euro, and operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) decreased 1.2 million euro (excluding the contribution of the Imosede Fund, accounted for using the equity method from June 2009 onwards). Turnover for the year may be analysed as follows:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turnover by Type | Value | Weight | Value | Weight | |
| Sale of Real Estate Assets | 2,804,512 | 43% | 1,114,150 | 15% | +152% |

| Total | 6,541,170 | 100% | 7,251,472 | 100% | -10% |
(1) In 2009 rents of Imosede Fund totalled 2.7 M.€. Since Imosede Fund is accounted for by the Equity method since June 2009, rents in 2010 do not include rents charged by the Fund. Without those rents the total in 2009 would have been 2.2 M.€, a similar level to that of 2010.
During 2010, SC Assets remained focused on selling non‐core real estate assets, sponsoring promotional activities to test the market and set the grounds for future asset sales.
In 2010, no independent valuation of assets was made, since management believes that the valuation made in 2009, which includes the entire portfolio of the Group's real estate assets, already reflects the impact of the adverse macroeconomic scenario.
During 2011, further marketing initiatives will be launched to sell non‐strategic assets and we will continue the process of obtaining building licenses, another way of increasing the value of properties for development or sale.
On 14 February 2005, Atlantic Ferries was granted the concession for river public transport of passengers, light and heavy vehicles, between Setúbal and the Tróia Peninsula, following a public tender offer launched, for that purpose, by APSS – Administração dos Portos de Setúbal e Sesimbra, SA (Port Authority). The concession contract runs for 15 years and is renewable for two successive periods of 5 years. The transport service began on 8 October 2007, with four chartered ferries owned by APSS. Currently, transport is provided by 2 ferries, in operation since 14 July 2008, with a capacity for 60 light vehicles and 500 passengers each, and 2 catamarans, in operation since 28 July 2009, each with a capacity for 350 passengers.
In 2010, total traffic, measured by the number of tickets sold, increased by 3% compared to the same period last year.
In 2010, 1,283,000 tickets were sold. The graph below shows quarterly tickets sales:
Traffic ‐ # Tickets
Operational performance in 2010 reflects the first full year of operations for the two catamarans. However, occupancy rates were below those expected, and operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) continued to be negative at 0.3 million euro. Continuous increases in fuel prices during 2010 was one of the main reasons for the poor performance, despite an increase of 3% in the number of tickets sold.
In 2011, Atlantic Ferries will continue to implement measures, such as a more suitable transport timetable, in order to adapt operations to effective demand for services, while at the same time ensuring that this public service is financially sustainable. The opening of the Casino should also impact positively the performance of Atlantic Ferries.
The activity of the Selfrio Group (70% owned by Sonae Capital) is made up of four major areas:
Contribution to consolidated figures Unit: 106 Euro
Turnover 2010
The Selfrio Group was the single largest contributor to 2010 consolidated turnover, with 79.7 million euro, 8% less than in the same period last year. This decrease occurred mainly in the Refrigeration business, whose turnover decreased by 6.1 million euro to 37.5 million euro. Meanwhile, turnover of HVAC was 35.9 million euro, a 3% decrease, while that of General Maintenance services increased 4% to 6.3 million euro.
The general economic slowdown, in particular its impact on investment spending and increased competitive pressure in both the retail and industrial sectors, explain Selfrio businesses evolution in the period. These factors led to a decrease of 1.5 million euro in operational cash‐flow (EBITDA), to 6.3 million euro, in both Refrigeration and HVAC businesses.
The maintenance and technical assistance area, SMP, improved profitability in 2010, due in particular to the reorganization and consolidation of the Technical Call Centre, improved processes and systems, and by focusing exclusively on the maintenance business.
After opening its first store in Spain (Vigo) in 2009, SKK began providing coverage of adjacent sales territories, further taking advantage of economies of scale based on its network of 4 stores located in Portugal, although facing adverse market conditions in Spain. In 2010, turnover increased 12% to 5.9 million euro (5.3 million euro).
International operations increased their contribution to consolidated turnover. In Spain, turnover of Sopair increased 46% to 5.8 million euro (4.0 million euro) based on Air Conditioning activity, and in Brazil, Friengineering's turnover increased 60% to 2.3 million euro (1.4 million euro), following a reassessment of the market made in 2009 which led to growth in the Air Conditioning business in order to compensate the lower expansion pace of Refrigeration. Expansion of international operations is underway and more attractive EBITDA margins should be achieved in 2011.
The Energy and Environment business area is made up of:
2010 was the first full year that the Energy and Environment business contributed to the Group's results. Consolidated turnover totalled 5.1 million euro, and consolidated operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) was 1.0 million euro.
Ecociclo II, the cogeneration unit acquired in September 2009, contributed 4.2 million euro to consolidated turnover and 1.0 million euro to consolidated operational cash‐flow EBITDA.
During 2010, the Energy and Environment business signed an agreement with Sonae Sierra, to convert the fuel oil cogeneration facility located in Colombo Shopping Centre, in Lisbon, into an Otto cycle gas cogeneration facility, with an estimated investment of around 6 million euro. Once the investment period is over, Sonae Capital's subsidiary Integrum Colombo will be responsible for the management of the cogeneration facility for a period of 15 years, expected to start in January 2012.
Sonae Capital owns 50% of TP – Sociedade Térmica Portuguesa, a company which promotes projects to build decentralised electrical energy production plants, focusing mainly on energy production through cogeneration and wind power.
Currently, TP manages directly 13 cogeneration plants and 2 wind farms, with an energy production capacity of 92 MW, of which 62 MW through cogeneration and 30 MW through wind power.
The cogeneration business is developed through partnerships with industrial companies, on whose premises the power plants are located.
In wind power, TP's interests include:

TP's operational performance during 2010 has been positive, with turnover increasing 19% to 34.8 million euro and operational cash‐flow (EBITDA) growing 19% to 10.1 million euro. The operational profit of the Group does not include the results of three cogeneration plants (around 14 MW) and of the wind farm in Serra da Capucha, both of which are accounted for using the equity method.

Sonae Capital owns a 36% shareholding in Norscut, which in 2000 won the DFBOT shadow toll concession for the A24 motorway for a 30 year period. A24 connects the towns of Viseu and Chaves, with a total extension of 156.4 km.
The full extension of the motorway entered into service in September 2007 and, according to the current concession contract, from that moment on until the end of the concession period, concessionary revenues will depend on actual vehicle traffic on the various stretches of the motorway under concession.

| Net Financial Expenses | 42,833.1 | 47,433.6 |
| Net Profit | 4,796.2 | 1,526.6 |
During 2010, traffic in A24 increased 18% when compared to 2009. This increase was felt across all categories of vehicles and results from the wider awareness of the existence of the motorway, the opening in 2010 of the link to the Spanish motorway system and the opening of the service areas. Turnover, however, has not mirrored the increase in traffic because tolls have decreased in accordance with the schedule agreed with the Portuguese government when the concession was granted.
The concession contract may be subject to changes as a result of ongoing negotiations proposed by the Portuguese government. The government wishes to change the concession model, with revenues depending on the availability of the infra‐structure rather than on actual vehicle traffic. These contractual changes have still not been agreed upon and may significantly change the activity of Norscut.

This section lays out the reasons for the non compliance or non applicability for each individual recommendation and should be read in conjunction with the table in the previous section.
The following recommendations were not applicable to Sonae Capital in 2010:
As at 31 December 2010, the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting had the following members, mandated for the four year period 2007‐2010:
In addition to the support provided by the Company Secretary, during the preparatory stages of the Shareholders' General Meeting, its Board members are given assistance by the Corporate Legal department, namely to prepare support documents and files.
The remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of the General Shareholders' Meeting is made up of a fixed amount, based on the Company's situation and market practices, and amounted to a total of 3,000 euro for the year 2010.
According to the Company's Articles of Association only those shareholders with voting rights, who own shares, can attend the Shareholders' General Meeting, provided that they can prove to the Company, ownership of such shares under the terms of the law, up to five business days prior to the Shareholders' General Meeting. This proof of title must be issued by a financial institution in which records of title are kept by the shareholders.
The proof of title can be made, within the period mentioned above, by letter, fax or e‐mail, and in relation to the last two the original document must be received at the Company's registered office up to the business day prior to the Shareholders' General Meeting.
The Articles of Association of the Company do not provide for the eventuality of suspension and this situation has never occurred in the past. However, the Company's Articles of Association do not impose the blocking of shares during the suspension period and thus, to be present at the continuation of the Shareholders' General Meeting, the shareholder has to comply with the five business days prior notice as required for the first meeting. Furthermore, the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting considers that if the suspension period does not exceed five working days, the blocking of shares should be maintained until the meeting is resumed, as it is not possible to require that shareholders comply with a new five working day blocking period. If the suspension period exceeds five working days, only a five work day‐period of share‐blocking will be required.
The Decree‐Law nr. 49/2010 of 19 May has introduced changes regarding this matter, with effects from May 2010 onwards. The Board of Directors will present a proposal to the next Shareholders' General Meeting with changes to the articles of association needed to align the Articles of Association with the terms of the law.
The Company has not issued non‐voting preference shares. In any event, the Articles of Association contemplate the presence at a Shareholders' General Meeting of shareholders holding non‐voting preference shares, and their presence at the discussion of the points on the agenda for the Shareholders' General Meeting will depend on the authorisation of the Shareholders' General Meeting.
An individual shareholder may be represented at the Meeting by means of a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting, indicating the name and address of the representative nominated, as well as the date of the meeting. Corporate shareholders may be represented at the meeting by means of a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting, the authenticity of which will be considered by the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting.
Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Association, each share is entitled to one vote. Additionally, no limit is established to the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a sole shareholder or group of shareholders.
The extension of written voting papers to all matters was approved at the Shareholders' General Meeting of 28 April 2010. Written voting papers shall only be considered valid if they are received at the Company's registered office at least three days before the date of the Shareholders' General Meeting, and must be sent by registered post with signature confirmation on delivery addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting. This does not dispense with the need to comply with the procedures set out in the Articles of Association, to be registered as a valid shareholder for the Shareholders' General Meeting. Written voting papers must be signed by shareholders or by their legal representatives. Individual shareholders must attach a certified copy of their identity card and, for corporate shareholders, the signature must be authenticated confirming that the signatory is duly authorised and mandated for the purpose.
The Board of Directors will also propose changes regarding this matter, so that the Articles of Association comply with Decree‐Law nr. 49/2010 of 19 May.
In addition to the above mentioned, to be considered valid, written voting papers also have to set out clearly, in an unambiguous manner: (i) the agenda item or items to which they refer; (ii) the specific proposal to which they relate, indicating the respective proposer or proposers, and; (iii) the precise and unconditional voting intention on each proposal. Notwithstanding the content of (ii), a shareholder is permitted to include in a written voting paper, in relation to an identified proposal, the intention to vote against all alternative proposals, in relation to the same item on the agenda, without further specification. It is assumed that shareholders have abstained from any proposals that are not specifically included in their written voting papers. Written voting papers shall be deemed as votes against any proposals presented after the issuance of such written voting papers. The Chairman of the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting, or his or her substitute, is responsible for verifying that written voting papers comply with all the above requirements and, those that are not accepted, will be considered as null and void.
The Company makes available to shareholders minutes of written voting papers and representation letters on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt), after notice has been given of the Shareholders' General Meeting.
Electronic voting is not contemplated under the Company's Articles of Association.
The Shareholders' General Meeting shall meet ordinarily, within the timing established by law for the Shareholders' Annual General Meeting, or extraordinarily, whenever the Board of Directors or the Fiscal Board or shareholders representing more than 2% of the voting share capital (minimum required for this purpose by law), request one.
The Shareholders General Meeting can meet, in the first instance, as long as shareholders holding over fifty percent of the share capital are present or represented.
Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Association, resolutions at the Shareholders' General Meeting shall be taken by simple majority, unless otherwise determined by law.
The notice of the Shareholders' General Meeting and the proposals and respective appendices required by law, addressed to the Board of the Shareholders' General Meeting, are made publicly available to all shareholders, for consultation, at the registered office during office hours, on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt) and on the Information Disclosure System of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (www.cmvm.pt), at least 21 days prior to the Shareholders' General Meeting (15 days until May 2010).
The Company intends to keep a record, on its website (www.sonaecapital.pt), of the attendance lists, agenda and decisions of the Shareholders' General Meetings of the previous three years. At present, this information is only available for the two Shareholders' General Meeting that have taken place since the Company was incorporated in December 2007. Information on the decisions of the Shareholders' General Meetings has been disclosed on the same date of the meeting.
Besides access to information on the above mentioned disclosure systems, shareholders can request specific information or explanations on any matter related to the Shareholders' General Meeting through the Investor Relations Office.
The Company has not taken measures of any kind that would hinder the success of a public tender offer for the purchase of its shares, nor has the Board of Directors knowledge of any special rights or shareholders agreements in which the Company or its shareholders are involved.
The Company's Articles of Association do not foresee any defensive practices that automatically and significantly erode the Company's assets in the event of a change in control or change in the composition of the management body.
Additionally, there are no agreements between the Company and its board members or other senior managers that foresee indemnities or penalty payments in any case of termination of their existing contracts as a result of a change in control of the Company.
The remuneration of members of the statutory bodies of the Company is fixed by the Shareholders' General Meeting, which has appointed a Shareholders' Remuneration Committee to set and propose the compensation and performance assessment policies and respective guidelines.
In accordance with Law nr. 28/2009 the Remuneration Committee or the Board of Directors must submit, annually, the remuneration policy of the statutory bodies to the Shareholders' General Meeting. The remuneration policy and the required disclosures are laid out in section II.10 of this report.
The Shareholders' Remuneration Committee has two members, Belmiro Mendes de Azevedo (Chairman) and Bruno Walter Lehmann. Belmiro Mendes de Azevedo is also Chairman and CEO of Sonae Capital and does not vote on the decision regarding his remuneration.
The Shareholders' Remuneration Committee is always represented at the Shareholders' General Meeting at least by one of its members.
The table below summarizes the attendance of members of the Shareholders' Remuneration Committee at the Shareholders' General Meetings since the incorporation of Sonae Capital.

Sonae Capital was incorporated in December 2007. During 2008, significant changes were made to the corporate governance structure of Sonae Capital to respond to the strategic and management needs of the Company's business portfolio. The new governance structure proposed by the Board of Directors and approved at the Shareholders' General Meeting of 9 April 2008 envisaged strengthening strategy formulation of the Company and the independent appraisal of the execution of strategy by Executive Directors, based on best practices in corporate governance.
At the date of its incorporation, Sonae Capital adopted a model based on a Board of Directors, a Fiscal Board and a Statutory Auditor. The Board of Directors has the responsibility of management while the remaining two bodies have supervisory responsibility.
The significant changes introduced just months after its incorporation strengthened and enlarged the supervision of the Company mainly through the creation of an Executive Committee to which the day‐to‐day management was delegated and the creation of two boards, made up only of independent non executive directors, with the responsibility of supervising and appraising the Company's and management's activities and performance. Details of the new structure, its different bodies, roles and responsibilities are presented in the following sections.
For the time being the Board of Directors believes the existing model is the most suitable for Sonae Capital. In order to strengthen its commitment to evaluate the existing governance model, the Board of Directors initiated a formal annual self assessment process in 2009. The Board of Directors will use the conclusions from the self assessment, during the current year to reflect on the existing structure and operations and, if deemed necessary, fine tune procedures and policies.
Under the current governance structure, the Board of Directors is responsible for business portfolio strategic decisions and respective implementation. The Board of Directors delegates to the Executive Committee the management of day‐to‐day operations, with the exception of matters highlighted in section II.3 of the current report. In addition to the Executive Committee, the Board has also appointed specialised advisory committees, namely the Board Audit and Finance Committee and the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee, aimed at strengthening the decision making process at Board level.
The supervision of the Company is carried out by the Fiscal Board and by the Statutory Auditor, both elected at the Shareholders' General Meeting. For more information on these statutory bodies, please refer to sections II.5 and II.6, respectively.
The Corporate Centre comprises six functional departments, which provide support and advice to the governing bodies and business segments and, in some cases ensure co‐ordination of policies and procedures within the Company.
Functional departments are the following:
| Functional department | Reports to |
|---|---|
| Human Resources | Executive Committee |
| Internal Audit & Risk Management | Executive Committee |
| Portfolio Management | Executive Committee |
| Administrative Services | Chief Financial Officer |
| Finance & Treasury | Chief Financial Officer |
| Reporting & Investor Relations | Chief Financial Officer |
The Human Resources department is responsible for proposing and implementing the Group's human resources policy and for managing senior managers' careers.
The Internal Audit & Risk Management department main responsibilities include definition and execution of internal audits and risk management activities in Group companies.
The Portfolio Management competencies comprise the following: portfolio configuration and capital allocation between existing businesses and new business opportunities, mergers and acquisitions, legal support, corporate internal and external communication. It also has the responsibility for the coordination of sustainability best practices.
Administrative Services comprise a number of different services, namely consolidation, shared service centre, information systems and tax support. The shared service centre provides accounting, administrative, treasury and payroll services to Group companies.
The Finance and Treasury department has a leading role concerning internal and external financing operations, treasury management and liaison with financial institutions. This department is also responsible for financial risk management at Group level and for the preparation and follow‐up of the Group's financial plan.
The Reporting and Investor Relations department plays a role in: corporate planning and reporting activities; consolidated reporting both internally and externally; and ensures a permanent contact with institutional investors, shareholders and analysts through the Investor Relations Office.
The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for the operational co‐ordination of all functional departments within the Corporate Centre, meeting regularly with their respective managers.
Under the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors can be made up of an odd or even number of members, with a minimum of three members and a maximum of eleven members, elected at the Shareholders' General Meeting.
The election of one member of the Board of Directors takes place independently from the remaining elections, under the terms of the law, among persons listed in proposals subscribed by groups of shareholders, provided that such groups of shareholders hold shares that represent more than ten and less than twenty percent of the share capital. The same shareholder cannot subscribe to more than one proposal, and each proposal must contain the identification of at least two persons eligible for each of the positions to be filled. If proposals are presented by more than one group of shareholders, voting will be based on all of these proposals.
The Board of Directors appoints a substitute in case of death, resignation or temporary or permanent incapacity or unavailability of any member. If a Director fails to be present at any two meetings without providing a justification for such absence which is accepted by the Board of Directors, such a Director will be deemed permanently unavailable. A substitute is elected to the Board of Directors in the case of permanent unavailability of the member of the Board elected under the provisions set in the previous paragraph.
| Name | Position | First appointment on |
|---|---|---|
| Belmiro Mendes de Azevedo | Chairman and CEO | December 2007 |
| José Luís dos Santos Lima Amorim | Executive | December 2007 |
| Mário Pereira Pinto | Executive | December 2007 |
| Francisco de La Fuente Sánchez | Non Executive | April 2008 |
| Rafael Cerezo Laporta | Non Executive | April 2008 |
| Paulo José Jubilado Soares de Pinho | Non Executive | April 2008 |
| Pedro Manuel Bastos Mendes Rezende | Non Executive | April 2008 |
As at 31 December 2010, the Board of Directors is made up of three executive members and four non executive independent Directors:
Non executive members were appointed based on their reputation in business, finance, academia and consultancy areas, to strengthen the skills of the Board of Directors, namely in relation to the approval of the portfolio configuration strategy and of the annual business plan and any significant changes to it.
All of the non executive members of the Board of Directors are considered independent under the terms of number 5 article 414 of the Portuguese Company Law, and comply with incompatibility rules under the terms of number 1 (except paragraph b, which is not applicable to members of the Board) of Article 414 of the Portuguese Company Law.
Independent Non Executive Directors have to disclose immediately to the Company any event that, in the course of their mandate, might lead to conflicts of interest or loss of independence under the terms of legal requirements.
In ascertaining conflict of interest rules applicable to the members of the Board of Directors, the Company relies solely on criteria established in paragraph 1 of Article 414‐A of the Portuguese Company Law, and has not defined, internally, any other assessment criteria.
The current composition of the Board of Directors, especially the number of Non Executive and independent members (4 from a total of 7 members), ensure the necessary supervision of the activities performed by Executive Directors. The Report of the Board of Directors contains a section with a description of the activities carried out by Non Executive board members.
In view of Sonae Capital's size, the Company believes there is no need for a formal candidate selection process regarding Non Executive Directors. The interference of Executive Directors in that selection process is inevitable considering that, under the model adopted by the Company, the Board of Directors appoints, with the intervention of all its members, an Executive Committee. Thus, under the terms of the law, there is an effective participation of all Board members in the selection of its Executive and Non Executive members.
Under the Company's Articles of Association and the Board of Directors' Terms of Reference, there are no restrictions as to the maximum number of positions that Board members can hold simultaneously.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the management of the business and for carrying out all operations related to fulfilling the Company's objectives, and for that purpose, the Board is given the widest powers, including:
Under the terms of the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors may also deliberate on share capital increases, through new entries in cash, up to one thousand million euro, in one or more stages. The Board of Directors determines, in accordance with the law, the conditions of subscription and the categories of shares to be issued, based on the existing ones at the time.
No specific responsibilities are assigned to each member of the Board, within the Company's business segments. With the exception of the responsibility of financial matters assigned to the Chief Financial Officer, no specific functional responsibilities are assigned to each member of the Board. Therefore the Board of Directors has not considered necessary the definition of a rotation policy of responsibilities in addition to the fact that a limitation of mandates may not be in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors has the powers to replace any of its members if at a particular time it judges it to be in the best interests of the Company to do so.
The Company's Articles of Association establish that the Board of Directors appoints, if it so decides, one or more Managing Directors or an Executive Committee from amongst its members, to which it shall delegate the powers to manage the businesses that the Board may determine. The Board of Directors appointed an Executive Committee in 2008. Information on the Executive Committee can be found in section II.3 of this report.
The Board of Directors may also create specialised committees to ensure the effectiveness of the Non Executive Directors and of the main Board Meetings. Those currently created are the Board Audit and Finance Committee and the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The creation and activity of such specialised committees, composed solely of Non‐Executive Directors, and the access to all available information under the terms of section II.3 allow, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, independent and well‐informed decisions by Non‐ Executive Directors. Please refer to section II.4 for information on these committees.
According to the Company's Articles of Association, the Board of Directors meets at least once every quarter and, in addition, whenever the Chairman or two Board Directors convene a meeting. During 2010, the Board of Directors held five meetings, with a 97% attendance rate.
The Board of Directors may only deliberate if a majority of their members is present or represented, and decisions will be taken by a majority of votes cast by members present, represented or voting in writing.
The functioning and other logistic issues are dealt with by the Board's Secretary, which also ensures that records of decisions taken are kept in minutes of meetings and provides Board members with support information for the proposed agenda at least five days in advance and always leaving a weekend between distribution and the respective meeting.
The Board of Directors approved and enacted its Terms of Reference, which are available for consultation on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt).
During 2010, members of the Board of Directors of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA were paid the following remuneration and other compensation, exclusively at Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA level (Directors are not paid in any other Group company):

1 Previous year deferred performance bonuses were attributed to the Chairman and CEO of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA. These bonuses were paid in cash at year end 2007 by Sonae, SGPS, SA and the net proceeds were used to buy shares in Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA, thus exposing the Chairman and CEO to fluctuations in the value of the Company to best align his interests with the interests of the Company and of its shareholders.
During 2010, no compensation to former Executive Directors was paid in relation to early contract termination. The Company has no supplementary pension retirement scheme set up for its Directors.
Executive Directors are included in the deferred performance bonuses plans based on shares, which are described in section III.6 of this report.
The Company has not defined any rules regarding compensation payments in the case of termination of duties during the respective mandate. In 2010, no such instances occurred and as a result no such payments were made. Any compensation occurring in the future will be that which results from applicable law.
Information on other offices held by the Company's Directors, qualifications and experience can be found in the curricula vitae included as an appendix to this report.
The Board of Directors delegates to the Executive Committee the powers to manage the day‐ to‐day operations of the Company and, regulates how the Executive Committee operates and how the delegated powers can be exercised. The Board of Directors does not delegate the following powers:
The existing Executive Committee was appointed on 9 April 2008, and its term of office ceases with that of the Board, and has the following members:
| Name | Position |
|---|---|
| Belmiro Mendes de Azevedo | Chief Executive Officer |
| José Luís dos Santos Lima Amorim | Chief Financial Officer |
| Mário Pereira Pinto | Director |
The Company's Executive Committee meets once a month and whenever the Chief Executive Officer or the majority of its members convenes it, in writing, at least 3 days before the meeting is held. There were fourteen meetings during the year 2010 with an 88% attendance rate.
The Executive Committee may only deliberate if a majority of its members is present or represented, and decisions are taken by a majority of votes cast by members present, represented or voting in writing.
The Executive Committee meetings may also be attended by members of the corporate team, at a Director's request, for assistance and advice on specific issues.
The functioning of the Committee and other logistic issues are ensured by the Executive Committee's Secretary (who is also the Board of Directors' Secretary), who also ensures records of decisions taken are kept in minutes of the meetings and provides Committee members with support information for the proposed agenda at least five days in advance and always leaving a weekend between distribution and the respective meeting. The existence of a common Secretary to both governing bodies, ensuring information flows between them, contributes to the timely supply of information and reduces misinterpretation of information requests, thus leading to more efficiency and effectiveness in the process.
During the year 2010, the approved minutes of the Executive Committee meetings were made available to Non Executive Board members and Fiscal Board members. Members of the Executive Committee provide timely and adequate information whenever requested by members of other statutory bodies.
On 9 April 2008, the Board of Directors decided to appoint a Board Audit and Finance Committee (BAFC) and a Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee (BNRC), with their office ceasing with the Board's term of office.
As at 31 December 2010, the BAFC is composed of two Non Executive independent Directors, Francisco de La Fuente Sánchez (Chairman) and Paulo José Jubilado Soares de Pinho.
The BAFC reviews Company's reports, financial information and financial statements, before they are approved by the Board, advises the Board on reports to shareholders and financial markets, on the adequacy and appropriateness of internal information provided by the Executive Committee, including internal business controls, and on compliance with best practices in corporate governance, and evaluates risks associated with the Company's activities on behalf of the Board. The BAFC meets directly with the Statutory External Auditors and the Internal Audit team.
The BAFC shall meet at least six times a year before the disclosure of the annual and interim results, once before the approval of the annual consolidated budget, once to evaluate the effectiveness of corporate governance policies and practices of the Company and whenever it is convened by its Chairman, or the Board's Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer. During 2010, the BAFC held eight meetings, with 94% attendance by its members.
The Secretary of the BAFC circulates required agendas and support documents to the members of the BAFC at least five days in advance and always leaving a weekend between distribution and the respective meeting, also ensuring records of decisions taken are kept in minutes of the meetings.
As at 31 December 2010 the Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee (BNRC) is composed of two Non Executive independent Directors, Rafael Cerezo Laporta (Chairman) and Pedro Manuel Bastos Mendes Rezende.
The BNRC reports and proposes to the Board of Directors on nomination processes and remuneration systems of Executive and Non Executive Directors. To that end, it may take advice from external experts. This Committee also liaises with the Shareholders' Remuneration Committee, mentioned in section I.7 of this report.
The BNRC meets at least once a year, before the annual meeting of the Shareholders' Remuneration Committee. During the year of 2010, the BNRC held one meeting, with all members present.
The Chairman of the BNRC has considerable experience in matters relating to remuneration, having in the past been a member of worldwide committees responsible for remuneration and career management in a prominent company.
As already mentioned in section II.2, members of the abovementioned committees are considered independent.
Specialised committees may only deliberate if a majority of their members is present or represented, and decisions will be taken by a majority of votes cast by members present, represented or voting in writing. The deliberations of the specialised committees are taken into consideration on an advisory basis in support of decisions by the Board of Directors.
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, the Fiscal Board shall be made of an odd or even number of members, with a minimum number of three members and a maximum number of five members, being the number of members decided upon by the Shareholders' General Meeting of the Company. One or two substitutes shall be appointed if the Fiscal Board is made up of three or more members, respectively.
The Fiscal Board appoints its Chairman if the Shareholders' General Meeting has not made such an appointment. If the Chairman ceases his/her functions before the end of his/her mandate, the remaining members shall choose amongst themselves who will perform those duties until the end of the mandate. Substitute member(s) shall replace effective member(s) who are unable or have ceased to exercise their functions, and shall remain member(s) until the next Shareholders' General Meeting which will appoint new members to fill any vacancy(ies). If there are no substitute members available, the Shareholders' General Meeting shall appoint new members.
As at 31 December 2010, the Fiscal Board had the following members:
| Name | Position | First Appointment on |
|---|---|---|
| Manuel Heleno Sismeiro | Chairman | April 2009 |
| Armando Luís Vieira de Magalhães | Member | December 2007 |
| Jorge Manuel Felizes Morgado | Member | December 2007 |
The members of the Fiscal Board are of the opinion that they can all be considered independent under the terms of number five article 414 of the Portuguese Company Law and that they comply with all incompatibility rules mentioned in number 1 article 414‐A of the Portuguese Company Law.
In ascertaining incompatibility rules applicable to the members of the Fiscal Board, the Company relies solely on criteria established in number one Article 414‐A of the Portuguese Company Law, and has not defined, internally, any other assessment criteria.
Under the Company's Articles of Association and the Fiscal Board's Terms of Reference, there are no restrictions as to the maximum number of positions that Fiscal Board members can hold simultaneously. The limitation specified in Portuguese Company Law that limits the number of positions that Fiscal Board members can hold simultaneously to five, is not applicable to law firms, statutory audit firms and individual statutory auditors. All the members of the Fiscal Board of the Company are individual statutory auditors.
The duties of the Fiscal Board are those determined by law, which include amongst others:
The Fiscal Board establishes, in the first meeting of each year, a work plan and timetable for the year, comprising among other subjects, the coordination of tasks with the Statutory Auditor including:
To carry out its duties, the Fiscal Board:
To support the Fiscal Board's activity, the Company provides human and technical resources needed for scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, minutes and support documents and ensuring their timely distribution. Additionally, internal staff deemed relevant for matters in the agenda, is also present in the meetings, to present and explain the main questions raised by the Fiscal Board. Items in the agenda regarding External Audit issues are discussed, at the request of the Fiscal Board, without the presence of other department's staff. Lastly, reports prepared by the Statutory Auditor are simultaneously sent to the Board of Directors and to the Fiscal Board, since the latter holds meetings before the meetings of the Board of Directors.
The Fiscal Board issues an annual report on the supervisory work performed including the annual assessment of the Statutory External Auditor, as well as an opinion on the report of the Board of Directors, consolidated and individual financial statements and corporate governance report presented by the Board of Directors, in order to meet the legal deadlines for presentation of those documents to the annual Shareholders' General Meeting. The Fiscal Board's report on annual activity is included in the annual reports made available on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt).
The Fiscal Board's Terms of Reference are available for consultation on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt).

In order to ensure External Auditor independence, tax consultancy services and other services (mostly related with management consulting) are provided by different teams than those involved in audit services. The Board Audit and Finance Committee and the Fiscal Board reviewed the scope of other services and concluded they did not affect the independence of Auditors.
In 2010, the Board of Directors approved a policy regarding audit and other related services rendered by the External Auditor. The implementation of this policy aims to ensure the independence of the External Auditor, defining other excluded services and establishing a threshold for other related services which can be rendered by the External Auditor to Sonae Capital Group companies, aligning the Company with best practices and complying with applicable laws and regulations. Within this policy, any services not comprised in the list of excluded services and that do not fulfil the criteria set for allowed services, have to be approved by the Board Audit and Finance Committee and by the Fiscal Board before they are committed, following a proposal of the related Administrative Department. The Board Audit and Finance Committee and the Fiscal Board shall be informed of fees invoiced regarding authorized services as they are being rendered. Every half year a summary of such fees must always be produced by the secretary of each of these bodies and reported to the Board Audit and Finance Committe and the Fiscal Board.
As part of its work plan, the external auditor confirmed the application of policies and remuneration systems, as well as the effectiveness and performance of internal control mechanisms, and has not identified any material issues that should be reported to the Company's Fiscal Board.
The Company has not defined and implemented a rotation policy for the Statutory External Auditor. It is the Board of Directors judgment that the replacement of the auditor or partner responsible for auditing services every seven years, currently imposed by law, is more than adequate to ensure the independence of the Statutory External Auditor together with the powers given to the Fiscal Board to oversee the independence of the Statutory External Auditor.
The Board of Directors appointed Anabela Nogueira Matos and André Pinto Rocha as Company's Secretary and respective substitute, whose offices cease with the term of office of the members of the Board of Directors. The Company's Secretary's duties are those determined by law, among which are:
One of the most important objectives of Sonae Capital is to ensure the implementation of internal control and risk management principles, that are appropriate to the Group's activities. Market visibility, exposure and diversification of the businesses' risks and the increasing speed of information transmission, makes the implementation of these principles crucial to value creation and compliance with ethical and social responsibility values. These objectives are pursued through coordinated plans and systems aimed at controlling uncertainties, preventing errors and irregularities from occurring, minimizing their consequences and maximizing the organisation's performance and the reliability of its information. It is made up of the following activities:
Internal control policies and procedures are set at both corporate and business levels, with the goal of ensuring:
Risk management, as a support to Sonae Capital's corporate culture and objectives, is inherent in all management processes and is a permanent concern of all Group managers and employees. Risk management aims to create value and is one of the main components of the sustainable development of companies through the identification, understanding, management and mitigation of uncertainties and threats that may affect their different businesses, in order to increase the probability of their success and reduce the likelihood of failure.
Internal Audit assists the Group in accomplishing its objectives, through a systematic and structured approach to evaluate and improve effectiveness of risk management, controls and governance processes.
The Risk Management and Internal Audit functions are coordinated by a single manager at Sonae Capital's corporate centre level, and its activities are coordinated, reported and followed up by the Board Audit and Finance Committee. Additionally, the internal audit and risk management annual programme as well as biannual activity reports are submitted to the Fiscal Board. The implemented reporting system ensures regular feedback, adequate review of activities carried out and the possibility to adjust the plan of activities to emerging needs.
The Internal Audit function promoted activities according to an annual plan previously approved and based on an evaluation of business risks. During 2010, the plan included work on business processes, compliance and information systems, especially in Sonae Turismo's businesses, including the following:
SC Assets' businesses: Sales processes, assets management and after‐sale services; Sonae Turismo's businesses: Invoicing, collection and cash management; Selfrio Group: Credit risk and control of bank guarantees given; Ecociclo II: Invoicing and insurances contracts.
Health & Fitness: Health & Saphety guide implementation.
Sonae Turismo's businesses: Software licensing, wireless networks, front office and workflow systems.
Sonae Capital: Software licensing, network security and web banking certificates.
Sonae Capital encourages continuous education and the adoption of best international methodologies and practices in Risk Management and Internal Audit. To that end, the Group supports attendance at training and knowledge update programmes, which include the international professional certification in Internal Audit promoted by the IIA – The Institute of Internal Auditors – the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). The Internal Audit team members are Certified Internal Auditors.
The risk management function promotes, coordinates, facilitates and supports the development of risk management processes. In 2008, the Group launched a process relying on an uniform and systematic methodology based on the international model of Enterprise Risk Management – Integrated Framework of COSO (The Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway Commission), which includes, amongst others, the following:
In view of the wide range of businesses and risks, this approach was firstly applied, in 2008, to the Fitness business, and was followed by the implementation, in 2009, of the resulting plan of actions, with particular focus on Health & Safety, Cleanliness and availability of Information Systems risks. This approach, initially expected to be applied in 2009 to the entire Troiaresort project (including the implementation of a plan of actions, which will be followed by the implementation of this framework to all Sonae Turismo's affiliates) was rescheduled to 2010 due to the need to develop and implement Influenza Type A (H1N1) contingency plans across the organization. The coordination and writing up of the contingency manuals required the identification of critical businesses, scenario development and definition of action and contingency plans. The main objective was to minimize impacts of the pandemic threat and to assure minimum services during the various crisis scenarios. Action plans were developed across four different areas: communication with most important stakeholders, treatment of suspect cases either among employees or customers, reducing the impact of absenteeism and supply chain management.
At Sonae Capital, the integrity and reliability of financial information is achieved by the existence of a clear distinction between producers and users of such information and also by performing several validation procedures throughout the process of its production and disclosure.
At the business level (individual companies), accounting processes and financial statement preparation are assured by the administrative services of Sonae Capital. These statements are also reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer of each business area.
Sonae Capital's consolidated financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis by the consolidation department, within the administrative services of the Company's corporate centre. This represents an additional validation level of the integrity and reliability of the financial information, namely by ensuring the uniform application of accounting principles and standards across the individual companies.
The Statutory Auditors perform an annual audit and half year limited review of individual and consolidated financial statements. In performing their examination, in accordance with the Auditing Standards issued by the Portuguese Institute of Statutory Auditors, they are required to obtain a reasonable assurance, in the annual audit, and a moderate assurance, in the half year limited review, that financial statements are free from material misstatement. Such examination includes verifying, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Significant estimates and judgements made by management in their preparation are also assessed. Verification is also made of whether the accounting policies are appropriate, are consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
The Reporting and Investor Relations department is responsible for preparing the Report of the Board of Directors. The Statutory Auditors also review the content of this report (annual and semi‐annual versions) and its conformity with supporting financial information.
In addition, in relation to the preparation of consolidated financial information and the Report of the Board of Directors, the whole process is overseen by the Fiscal Board and the Board Audit and Finance Committee. On a quarterly basis, these Bodies meet and review the consolidated financial statements and Report of the Board of Directors. Supporting information for the discussion of these issues is distributed in advance of the meetings. The Chief Financial Officer and supporting staff also attend these meetings, on request, to provide any clarification required.
The Statutory Auditors also present to the Fiscal Board and the Board Audit and Finance Committee, a summary of the main findings resulting from their examination of the Company's financial information.
Sonae Capital is exposed to a variety of financial risks namely interest rates, transaction and translation foreign currency exchange rates, liquidity, counterpart and credit risk, commodity and raw material prices, and debt and equity financial market fluctuations. Sonae Capital's financial risk management policy seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of the volatility of financial markets.
The current situation of financial markets places liquidity risk management at the forefront of companies' concerns. To that end, a comprehensive set of systems implemented in Sonae Capital ensures compliance with its payment obligations and the funding of its businesses and strategy.
The abovementioned systems, centralised in the Company's corporate headquarters, ensure liquidity management, financial planning based on cash flow forecasts, treasury and cash management control instruments, a variety of sources of and counterparts to funding, the adjustment of debt maturity profiles to cash flow generation and an adequate level of liquidity through contractual arrangements with relationship banks.
Sonae Capital's attitude towards financial market risk management is conservative and cautious, sometimes using derivative instruments to hedge certain exposures related to its operating businesses. The Company does not therefore enter into derivatives or other financial instruments that are unrelated to its operating businesses.
Management of financial risks is performed and monitored by the corporate finance function. The activity of the finance function is also reported to, coordinated and followed up by the Board Audit and Finance Committee.
The main features of the whistle blowing policy currently in place are:
The Company's Policy and Procedures, the main features of which are summarized above, are available for consultation on the Company's website (www.sonaecapital.pt).
During 2010, the Fiscal Board received several communications. After careful review those communications have been considered as customer complaints, related to service levels, and were forwarded to the respective businesses for appropriate treatment. All complaints were addressed promptly and followed‐up until their conclusion.
The compensation policy of the members of the Statutory Governing Bodies of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA was approved at the Shareholder's General Meeting held on 28 April 2010.
The approved policy is based on the understanding that initiative, effort and commitment are essential foundations for delivering good performance. It also aims at aligning individual contributions with the Company's strategic objectives, focussing primarily on performance compensation. Therefore, the contribution of individual actions, performance and efforts towards the company's overall performance should be annually evaluated and should impact the fixed and variable compensation to be attributed.
Under these guidelines, fixed remuneration is primarily linked to personal skills and the responsibility level inherent to each function, while variable remuneration is linked to the level of success achieved by the Company as well as by the companies managed by each individual.
The Company's remuneration policy does not foresee any compensation for ending the mandate of any Board member before its completion. In these cases, compensation will be made in accordance with applicable law.
The compensation policy approved by the Shareholders' General Meeting follows these guiding principles:
a) the compensation policy for Executive Directors includes three components: (i) a Fixed Remuneration, established on an annual basis, (ii) a Short Term Variable Bonus, established during the first quarter of the year following that to which it relates, and (iii) a Medium/Long Term Variable Bonus, with the aim of aligning Executive Directors interests with those of all shareholders, attributed annually, and which is discretionary and subject to deferred payment;
b) individual compensation takes into consideration that (i) the definition of each Executive Director's fixed remuneration is based on personal skills and the responsibility level inherent in each function. This remuneration will be based on the Company's situation and market practices; (ii) the Short Term Variable Bonus is based on the achievement of predefined objectives, based on performance indicators of the business and of the teams under their responsibility, as well as to individual performance indicators; (iii) the Medium/Long Term Variable Bonus is based on the responsibility inherent in each function and on individual skills, and on the achievement of predefined objectives, which are linked to performance indicators, and may be converted into Sonae Capital shares or its equivalent in cash on the date of payment, calculated using the share market price on the due date.
For additional information on the share based payments of Sonae Capital please refer to section III.6 of this report.
The remuneration of Non Executive Directors is made up of a fixed amount which is based on the Company's situation and market practices.
The remuneration of members of the Fiscal Board is made up of a fixed amount which is based on the Company's situation and market practices.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Shareholders Meeting, if it exists, shall be made up of a fixed amount based on the Company's situation and market practices.
For the consideration paid as remuneration to each of the statutory bodies, please refer to the corresponding sections in this report.
For details of deferred performance bonuses please refer to section III.6 of this report.
In carrying out its activity Sonae Capital and its affiliates are exposed to several risks, of which the most relevant can be identified as follows:
Sonae Capital's ability to successfully implement its strategy depends on the ability to recruit and retain the most qualified and competent employees for each function. Despite Sonae Capital's human resources policy being oriented towards attaining those goals, it is not possible to guarantee that there will be no limitations in this area in the future.
Sonae Capital has a diversified business portfolio, hence major risks to which its affiliates are exposed may be sector specific.
Most relevant risks are identified below:
The activity carried out by Atlantic Ferries and by the Tróia Marina is subject to the terms and periods referred to in the concessionary contracts signed, as follows: (i) Atlantic Ferries entered into, with APSS (Associação dos Portos de Setúbal e Sesimbra), in 2005, a concessionary contract for the river crossing public transport service of passenger, light and heavy vehicles between Setúbal and the Tróia Peninsula. The concession was granted for a period of 15 years extendable for successive periods of 5 years, if both parties agree; (ii) the Tróia Marina entered into, with the APSS, in 2001, a concessionary contract for the operation of the Tróia Marina for a period of 50 years. Any breach of the contractual obligations could entail major risks for the activity and have an impact on the companies' earnings.
The level of Sonae Turismo's business can depend on the intensity of competition both regional and global – from the tourism destinations in which they operate. As a consequence of growth in demand, massive use of air transport and the emergence of new destinations, competition between tourism destinations is becoming increasingly more aggressive. However, over and above the convenience of the location, the brand's widespread awareness and the quality of the property development, in particular the offer of complementary facilities (restaurants, Golf, SPA and other leisure activities), are important competitive advantages in this sector. As far as the Tróia Peninsula is concerned, tourism real estate developments may also be affected by competition from other developments, in particular, on the Alentejo coast, the Algarve and southern Spain. However, it is important to point out that the troiaresort project is being developed in an area where the existing biodiversity and cultural heritage are considered to be the factors which differentiate the project, and can be capitalised on with new tourism services and products with a positive impact on the project.
The value of the activity of asset management and of the plots of land owned by SC Assets is largely dependent on the real estate market environment.
Activities related to refrigeration, air conditioning and related maintenance services (Selfrio Group) have specific risks, the majority of which are related to competition from other companies operating in the same markets and to the economic situation. The following major risks have been identified:
TP ‐ Sociedade Térmica Portuguesa, S.A. (TP) carries out its activity in partnership with other companies in the wind‐power and cogeneration business. Although this form of electric power production is a more efficient alternative and "environmental friendly", it nonetheless entails certain risks that could have an impact on the earnings of the companies concerned.
Norscut holds the concession for the operation and maintenance under the shadow toll regime (portagem sem cobrança aos utilizadores ‐ SCUT) of the A24 motorway and associated roads (motorway which links Viseu to the Chaves border). The concession is operated under a contract signed with the State on 30 December 2000 for a period of 30 years. Any breach of the contract's conditions could entail major risks for Norscut's activity and its operating performance. This contract may be changed as a result of ongoing negotiations endorsed by the Portuguese government, which intends to change the operating model, paying the concessionary for the availability of the infrastructure and not for its use. These contractual changes have not yet been agreed and may have a significant impact in the company's activity.
Sonae Capital was incorporated on 14 December 2007 with a fully subscribed and paid up share capital of 250,000,000 euro, made up of 250,000,000 ordinary shares, bearer and non‐ titled, each with a nominal value of 1 euro.
All shares of Sonae Capital were admitted to trading on Euronext Lisbon regulated market on 28 January 2008.
According to the Company's Articles of Association, shares can be titled or non‐titled shares, nominal or bearer, freely interchangeable, according to the terms of the law. Preferential shares without voting rights may be issued, which can be redeemable, at nominal value, with or without the addition of a premium, if the Shareholders' General Meeting so decides. If this is the case, the meeting shall determine the method of calculation of any redemption premium. The Company may issue autonomous warrants, under the terms of the law, and with conditions that are determined by resolution of the shareholders or of the Board of Directors, under the terms specified in the Articles of Association.
Sonae Capital's shareholders have, under the terms of the law, the right to share in profits, the right to attend the Shareholders' Annual General Meeting and exercise their right to vote, the right to a share of the net assets of the Company in case of liquidation, the right to convert shares, the right to information and preference rights in offers for subscribing shares of the same category.
As far as the Company is aware, there are no shareholders with special voting rights, nor are there limitations, restrictions or shareholders' agreements in place regarding the transfer, control or sale of shares or voting rights.
Resolutions at the Shareholders' General Meeting regarding changes to the Articles of Association can only be taken, at the first instance, as long as shareholders representing over 50% percent of the share capital are present or represented (the law establishes a threshold of one third of the share capital). The resolution must be approved by two thirds of the votes cast, whether the meeting is held at first or second instance. The Articles of Association of the Company allow votes in writing in respect to all matters.
Sonae Capital does not have an employee shareholder system in place, hence there are no control mechanisms for such systems in which the voting rights are not directly exercised by them.

In 2007 and previous years, the Sonae Capital Group granted deferred performance bonuses, based on shares of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA to be acquired at nil cost, three years after they were attributed. 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, and 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 the recalculation.
In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Group has granted deferred performance bonuses based on shares of Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA, under terms similar to those described in the previous paragraph. The Group believes that exposing Directors to share price fluctuations is the most appropriate form of aligning Directors with shareholders interests.

1 Prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. Not subject to limited review.
SONAE CAPITAL, SGPS, SA ("Company", "Goup" or "Sonae Capital") whose head-office is at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 3053, 4471-907 Maia, Portugal, is the parent company of a group of companies, as detailed in Notes 5 to 7 ("Sonae Capital Group") and was set up on 14 December 2007 as a result of the demerger of the shareholding in SC, SGPS, SA (previously named Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA) from Sonae, SGPS, SA, which was approved by the Board of Directors on 8 November 2007 and by the Shareholder's General Meeting held on 14 December 2007.
Sonae Capital's business portfolio was restructuredreorganized according to its strategic objectives, set out on the development of three distinct and autonomous business areas:

The most significant impacts on the financial statements of Sonae Capital in 2010, following the adoption of the standards mentioned above are related to changes to IFRS 3 – Business combinations and IAS 27 – Consolidated and separated financial statements (revised in 2008).
These amendments introduced changes regarding the accounting of business combinations, namely: (a) goodwill calculation; (b) measurement of non-controlling interests (formerly known as minority interests); (c) recognition and subsequent measurement of contingent consideration; (d) treatment of acquisition-related costs; (e) accounting for acquisitions in entities already controlled and for changes in a parent's ownership interests that result in the loss of control and (f) calculation of the result of changes in a parent's ownership interests that result in loss of control and lead to remeasuring remaining controlling interests; these amendments had no significant impact in the financial statements for the twelve months of 2010.
IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, was issued by the IASB in November 2009 but has not yet been endorsed by the European Union, and it will be effective for periods started on or after1/1/2013. It is not expected that future adoption of this standard will involve significant adjustments to the financial statements.
The consolidation methods adopted by the Group are as follows:
Investments in companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at Shareholders' General Meetings or is able to establish financial and operational policies so as to benefit from its activities (definition of control normally used by the Group), are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method. Equity and net profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately, under the caption Minority interests, in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated income statement, respectively. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 5.
When losses attributable to minority interests exceed the minority interest in the equity of the Group company, the excess, and any further losses attributable to minority interests, are charged against the equity holders of Sonae Capital except to the extent that minority shareholders have a binding obligation and are able to cover such losses. If the Group company subsequently reports profits, such profits are allocated to the equity holders of Sonae Capital until the minority's share of losses previously absorbed by the equity holders of Sonae Capital has been recovered.
Assets and liabilities of each Group company are measured at their fair value at the date of acquisition and this measurement may be adjusted within 12 months from the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill (Note 2.2.c)). Any excess of the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired over cost is recognized as income in profit or loss for the period of acquisition, after reassessment of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired. Minority interests include their proportion of the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities recognised on acquisition of Group companies.
The results of affiliated companies acquired/sold during the period are included in the income statement since the date of acquisition or until the date of sale.
Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are performed, whenever necessary, in order to adapt accounting policies to those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses and distributed dividends are eliminated on consolidation.
Financial investments in companies excluded from consolidation are recorded at acquisition cost net of impairment losses (Note 7).
Whenever the Group has, in substance, control over other entities created for a specific purpose, even if no share capital interest is directly held in those entities, these are consolidated by the full consolidation method. Such entities, when applicable, are disclosed in Note 5.
Investments in associated companies (companies where the Group exercises significant influence but does not establish financial and operational policies – usually corresponding to holdings between 20% and 50% in a company's share capital) and in jointly controlled companies are accounted for in accordance with the equity method.
Under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost, adjusted by the amount corresponding to the Group's share of changes in equity (including net profit) of associated and jointly controlled companies and by dividends received.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill (Note 2.2.c)), which is included in the caption Investment in associated and jointly controlled companies. Any excess of the Group's share in the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired over cost is recognised as income in the profit or loss for the period of acquisition, after reassessment of the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired.
An assessment of investments in associated and jointly controlled companies is performed when there is an indication that the asset might be impaired. Any impairment loss is disclosed in the income statement. Impairment losses recorded in prior years that are no longer justifiable are reversed.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, this is reported at nil value and recognition of losses is discontinued, unless the Group is committed beyond the value of its investment.
The Group's share in unrealized gains arising from transactions with associated and jointly controlled companies is eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.
Investments in associated and jointly controlled companies are disclosed in Note 6.
The excess of the cost of acquisition of investments in group, jointly controlled and associated companies over the Group's share in the fair value of the assets and liabilities of those companies at the date of acquisition is shown as Goodwill (Note 12) or as Investments in associated and jointly controlled companies (Note 6).
The excess of the cost of acquisition of investments in foreign companies over the fair value of their identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition is calculated using the functional currency of each of those companies. Translation to the Group's currency (Euro) is made using the closing exchange rate. Exchange rate differences arising from this translation are disclosed in Currency Translation Reserves.
Goodwill is not amortised, but is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis. The recoverable amount is determined based on the business plans used in the management of the Group or on valuation reports prepared by independent entities.
Impairment losses identified in the period are disclosed in the income statement under Provisions and impairment losses, and may not be reversed.
Any excess of the Group's share in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities in Group, jointly controlled and associated companies over costs, is recognised as income in the profit and loss for the period, at the date of acquisition, after reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the individual financial statements of foreign companies are translated to euro using exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Profit and loss and cash flows are converted to euro using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences originated after 1 January 2004 are recorded as equity under Currency Translation Reserves. Exchange rate differences that originated prior to 1 January 2004 (date of transition to IFRS) were written-off through Retained earnings.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign companies are recorded as assets and liabilities of those companies and translated to euro using exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
Whenever a foreign company is sold (in whole or in part), the share of the corresponding accumulated exchange rate differences is recorded in the income statement as a gain or loss on the disposal, in the caption Investment income.
Exchange rates used on translation of foreign group, jointly controlled and associated companies are listed below:

2.3 Tangible assets
Tangible assets acquired up to 1 January 2004 (transition date to IFRS) are recorded at acquisition cost, or revalued acquisition cost, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal until that date, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Tangible assets acquired after that date is recorded at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, as from the date the asset is first used, over the expected useful life for each class of assets and disclosed in Amortisation and depreciation in the consolidated profit and loss account.
Impairment losses in tangible assets are accounted for in the year when they are estimated, and are disclosed in Impairment losses in the consolidated profit and loss account, except for those relating to stocks whose impairment is recorded in Cost of goods sold and materials consumed.
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA Report and Accounts
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 10 to 50 |
| Plant and machinery | 10 to 20 |
| Vehicles | 4 to 5 |
| Tools | 4 to 8 |
| Fixture and fittings | 3 to 10 |
| Other tangible assets | 4 to 8 |
Maintenance and repair costs related to tangible assets are recorded directly as expenses in the year they are incurred.
Tangible assets in progress represent fixed assets still under construction/development and are stated at acquisition cost net of impairment losses. These assets are depreciated from the date they are completed or start being used.
Gains or losses on sale or disposal of tangible assets are calculated as the difference between the selling price and the carrying amount of the asset at the date of its sale/disposal. These are recorded in the income statement under either Other operational income or Other operational expenses.
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them, if they are controlled by the Group and if their cost can be reliably measured.
Expenditure on research associated with new technical know-how is recognised as an expense recorded in the income statement when it is incurred.
Expenditure on development is recognised as an intangible asset if the Group demonstrates the technical feasibility and its intention to complete the asset, its ability to sell or use it and the probability that the asset will generate future economic benefits. Expenditure on development which does not fulfil these conditions is recorded as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
Internal costs associated with maintenance and development of software is recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Only costs directly attributable to projects for which the generation of future economic benefits is probable are capitalized as intangible assets.
The Group adopted IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements from 2009 onwards whenever an affiliated undertaking enters into a service concession arrangement with a public sector entity to provide services to the public. The Troia Marina is the sole service concession arrangement to which this interpretation is applicable. In this case, costs incurred with building the infrastructure for the marina were recorded as an intangible asset which is amortised, on a straight line, over the period of the arrangement, because the affiliated undertaking was given rights to charge users of the public service but has no unconditional contractual right to receive cash from the grantor.
Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis, as from the date the asset is first used, over the expected useful life which normally is between 3 and 6 years, and are disclosed in Amortisation and Depreciation in the consolidated profit and loss account, except for Troia Marina assets, recorded as Intangible assets under IFRIC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements, which are amortised over the period of the arrangement (50 years).
Lease contracts are classified as (i) a finance lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership lie with the lessee and (ii) as an operating lease if the risks and rewards incidental to ownership do not lie with the lessee.
Whether a lease is classified as finance or an operating lease depends on the substance of the transaction rather than the form of the contract.
Tangible assets acquired through finance lease contracts are recorded as assets and corresponding obligations as liabilities in the balance sheet. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability, at the lower of fair value and present value of minimum lease payments up to the end of the lease. Both the finance charge and the depreciation expense for depreciable assets are taken to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Lease payments under operating lease contracts are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Where the Group acts as a lessor in operating leases, the value of assets leased is maintained in the Group's balance sheet and related rents are taken to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
Government grants are recognised at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them.
Investment subsidies related to the acquisition of fixed assets are recognised as Deferred income under Other current liabilities that are taken to the income statement, under Other operating profit, on a systematic basis over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Assets are assessed for impairment at each balance sheet date whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement under Provisions and impairment losses.
The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, if this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is only recorded when it is concluded that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. This analysis is performed whenever there is an indication that the impairment loss previously recognised has been reversed. The reversal is recorded in the income statement as Operational income. However, the increased carrying amount of an asset due to a reversal of an impairment loss is recognised to the extent it does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for that asset in prior years.
Borrowing costs are normally recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of tangible and real estate projects included under stocks are capitalised as part of the cost of the qualifying asset. Borrowing costs are capitalised from the time of preparation of the activities to construct or develop the asset up to the time the production or construction is complete or when asset development is interrupted. Any income earned on funds temporarily invested pending their expenditure on the qualifying asset, is deducted from the borrowing costs that qualify for capitalisation.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case the sale must be highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. In addition, the sale should be expected to occur within 12 months from the date of classification.
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. These assets are not depreciated since the date they were classified as available for sale.
Goods for sale and raw materials are stated at the lower of cost, net of discounts obtained or estimated, and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis. Goods for sale include mostly land for real estate developments.
Finished goods and work in progress are stated at the lower of the weighted average production cost or net realisable value. Production cost includes cost of raw materials, labour costs and overheads (including depreciation of production equipment based on normal levels of activity). Work in progress includes mostly resorts and real estate developments for sale in the normal course of business.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Differences between cost and net realisable value, if negative, are shown as operating expenses under Cost of sales or Changes in stocks of finished goods and work in progress, depending on whether they refer to goods for sale and raw materials or finished goods and work in progress.
Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has an obligation (legal or constructive) resulting from a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of that obligation. Provisions are reviewed and adjusted at the balance sheet date to reflect the best estimate as of that date.
Restructuring provisions are recorded by the Group whenever a formal and detailed restructuring plan exists and that plan has been communicated to the parties involved.
Financial instruments were classified in the categories presented in the consolidated balance sheet as detailed in Note 9.
a) Investments
Investments are classified into the following categories:
Held to maturity investments are classified as non-current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Investments classified as held to maturity have defined maturities and the Group has the intention and ability to hold them until the maturity date.
Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss includes investments held for negotiation, which the Group acquires with a view to their disposal within a short time period. They are shown in the consolidated balance sheet as Current Investments.
The Group classifies as investments available for sale, those which are not considered as investments measured at fair value through profit or loss nor as investments held to maturity. These assets are classified as noncurrent assets, unless there is an intention to dispose of them in a period of less than 12 months from the balance sheet date.
All purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, independently of the settlement date.
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration paid for them, including transaction costs.
Available-for-sale investments and investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value, without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred on sale, by reference to their quoted market price at the balance sheet date. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost, less impairment losses.
Gains or losses arising from a change in fair value of available-for-sale investments are recognised directly in equity, under Fair value reserve, included in Reserves and retained earnings until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, or until it is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the period.
Changes in the fair value of investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are included in the consolidated income statement for the period.
Held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, net of capital reimbursements and interest income received.
Loans and accounts receivable are booked at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses.
Financial income is calculated using the effective interest rate, except for amounts receivable within a very short time period, for which the income receivable is immaterial.
These financial investments arise when the Group supplies money, goods or services directly to a debtor without the intention to negotiate the debt involved.
Loans and accounts receivable are classified as current assets, expect in cases where the maturity date is more than 12 months from the date of the balance sheet, when they are classified as non current assets. These financial investments are included in the classes identified in Note 9.
c) Customers and other third party debts
Amounts owing from Customers and other third party debts are booked at their nominal value and shown in the consolidated balance sheet less any impairment losses, recognised in the caption Losses due to impairment in receivables in order to reflect their net realisable value. These captions, when current, do not include interest, since the discount impact is considered immaterial.
Impairment losses are booked following the events that have taken place, which indicate objectively and in a quantifiable manner that the whole or a part of the debt will not be received. For this, each Group company takes into consideration market information which demonstrates that:
Recognised impairment losses equal the difference between the amount receivable in the accounts and the related present value of future estimated cash flows, discounted at the initial effective interest rate, which is considered to be zero, since the discount impact is considered immaterial, in those cases where a receipt is expected within less than a year.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance, independently from the legal form they assume.
Loans are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up-front fees and commissions related to the issuance of those instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis, in accordance with the accounting policy defined in Note 2.16. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up-front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.
Accounts payable are stated at their nominal value, since they do not bear interest and the discount impact is considered immaterial.
The Group uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks, only to hedge such risks and/or to optimise funding costs.
Derivatives classified as cash flow hedge instruments are used by the Group mainly to hedge interest rate risks on loans obtained. Conditions established for these cash flow hedge instruments are identical to those of the corresponding loans in terms of base rates, calculation rules, rate setting dates and repayment schedules of the loans and for these reasons they qualify as perfect hedges. Inefficiencies that may exist are shown in the caption Net Financial Income/Expenses in the consolidated income statement.
The Group's criteria for classifying a derivative instrument as a cash-flow hedge instrument include:
Cash-flow hedge instruments used by the Group to hedge the exposure to changes in interest rate of its loans are initially accounted for at cost and subsequently adjusted to their corresponding fair value. Changes in fair value of these cash flow hedge instruments are recorded in equity under the caption Hedging reserves, and then recognised in net financial income/expenses in the income statement over the same period in which the hedged instrument affects income statement.
Hedge accounting of derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded in equity under the caption Hedging reserve are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.
In those cases in which derivative instruments, in spite of having been negotiated with the abovementioned objectives (essentially derivatives in the form of interest rate options), in relation to which the company did not apply hedge accounting, are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently measured at fair value. The changes in value resulting from the measurement at fair value, calculated using especially designed software tools are included in Net financial charges in the consolidated income statement.
When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and the characteristics are not closely related to economic risks and characteristics of the host contract, and this is not stated at fair value, and unrealised gains or losses recorded in the consolidated income statement.
In specific situations, the Group may use interest rate derivatives with the goal of obtaining fair value cover. In these situations, derivatives are booked at their fair value in the consolidated financial statements. In situations in which the derivative involved is not measured at fair value (in particular borrowings that are measured at amortised cost), the effective share of cover will be adjusted to the accounting value of the derivative covered through the profit and loss account.
Equity instruments are those that represent a residual interest on the Group's net assets and are recorded at the amount received, net of costs incurred with their issuance.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury applications which mature in less than three months and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are included in the balance sheet caption current bank loans.
Share-based payments result from Deferred Performance Bonus Plans that are referenced to the Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA share price and vest within a period of 3 years after being granted.
Share-based payment liabilities are measured at fair value on the date they are granted (normally in March of each year) and are subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period, based on the number of shares or share options granted and the corresponding fair value at the closing date. These obligations are stated as Staff costs and Other liabilities, and are recorded on a straight-line basis, between the date the shares are granted and their vesting date, taking into consideration the time elapsed between these dates, when the Group has the choice to settle the transaction in cash.
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Instead they are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case, no disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed when future economic benefits are probable.
The tax charge for the year is determined based on the taxable income of companies included on consolidation and considers deferred taxation.
Current income tax is determined based on the taxable income of companies included on consolidation or of groups of companies included in tax consolidations, in accordance with the tax rules in force in the respective country of incorporation.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method, reflecting the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and annually remeasured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted and therefore are expected to apply in the periods when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be used, or when taxable temporary differences are recognised and expected to reverse in the same period. At each balance sheet date a review is made of the deferred tax assets recognised, which are reduced whenever their future use is no longer probable.
Deferred taxes are recorded in the income statement, except if they relate to items directly recorded in equity. In these cases the corresponding deferred tax is recorded in equity.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in the income statement when the risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer and the amount of the revenue can be measured reasonably. Sales are recognised net of sales taxes and discounts and other expenses arising from the sale, and are measured as the fair value of the amount received or receivable.
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in the income statement taking into consideration the stage of completion of the transaction at the balance sheet date.
Revenue associated with work in progress is recognized at the end of each year as follows: when total amounts invoiced are higher than corresponding costs, the excess is recorded in Other current liabilities; and when costs are higher than corresponding amounts invoiced the excess is recorded in Work in progress.
Revenue arising from contract variations, claims and completion premiums is recorded when these are agreed with the customer, or when negotiations are at an advanced stage and it is probable that these will be favourable to the Group.
Dividends are recognised as income in the year they are attributed to the shareholders.
Income and expenses are recorded in the year to which they relate, independently of the date of the corresponding payment or receipt. Income and expenses for which their real amount is not known are estimated.
Other current assets and Other current liabilities include income and expenses of the reporting year which will only be invoiced in the future. Those captions also include receipts and payments that have already occurred but will only correspond to income or expenses of future years, when they will be recognised in the income statement.
Transactions in currencies other than the Euro, are translated to Euro using the exchange rate as at the transaction date.
At each balance sheet date, all monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of each foreign company at the exchange rates as at that date. All non-monetary assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and stated in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency of each company, using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined.
Exchange gains and losses arising from differences between historical exchange rates and those prevailing at the date of collection, payment or the date of the balance sheet, are recorded as income or expenses of the period, except for those related to nonmonetary assets or liabilities, for which adjustments to fair value are directly recorded under equity.
Events after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (adjusting events), are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events after the balance sheet date that are non-adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements are as follows:
Estimates were based on the best information available at the date of the preparation of the financial statements and on the best knowledge and experience of past and/or current events. These estimates may, however, be affected by subsequent events which are not foreseeable at the present date. Changes to these estimates, which take place after the date of the financial statements, will be recognised prospectively in the income statement, in accordance with IAS 8.
The main estimates and assumptions used relating to future events included in the consolidated financial statements are described in the corresponding notes attached.
Financial information regarding business segments is included in Note 48.
As a result of maintaining its debt in the consolidated balance sheet at variable rates, and the resulting cash flows from interest payments, the Group is exposed to a Euro interest rate risk.
In view of the fact that:
the volatility of Group results does not depend only on the volatility of its financial results linked to the volatility of interest rates;
under normal market conditions, there is a correlation between the levels of interest rates and economic growth, with the expectation being that the impact of movements in interest rates (and the respective volatility of cash flows to service the debt) can to some extent be compensated by movements in the remaining lines of the profit and loss account, in particular by operational profits or losses;
the setting up of any form of risk cover structure has an implicit opportunity cost associated with it,
the Group policy concerning the mitigation of this risk does not establish the maintenance of any minimum proportion of fixed interest rate debt (converted to fixed rate through use of derivatives), but rather has opted for a dynamic approach to monitoring exposure, which aligns market conditions to the real exposure of the Group, in order to avoid the possibility of exposure that could have a real impact on the consolidated results of the Group.
In view of the above, the Group policy concerning this issue defines a case by case review of each potential transaction, such that any contract for derivatives must follow the following principles:
derivatives are not used for trading or speculation;
derivatives to be contracted must match exactly the underlying exposures in relation to indices to be used, refixing dates for interest rates and dates for payment of interest, and the amortisation profile of the underlying debt;
the maximum financial cost of the entire derivative and underlying exposure must always be known and limited from the date of the derivative contract, with the aim that the resulting level of costs are within the cost of funds considered in the business plans;
derivative contracts are only agreed with authorised entities, specifically Financial Institutions with a minimum Investment Grade rating, giving preference to Banking Relationship Institutions of the Group;
all transactions must be the object of competitive bids, involving at least two financial institutions;
all transactions are entered into by using market standard contracts (ISDA - International Swaps and Derivatives Association), with schedules negotiated with each one of the Institutions;
to determine the fair value of the hedging transactions, the Group uses a range of methods in accordance with market practices, namely option valuation models and discounted future cash flow models, with specific market assumptions (interest and exchange rates, volatilities, etc.) prevailing at the Balance Sheet date. Comparative quotes provided by financial institutions are also used as a valuation benchmark;
any transaction that does not comply with all of the above principles must be individually approved by the Board of Directors.
Interest rate sensitivity is based on the following assumptions:
Changes in interest rates affect interest receivable and payable of financial instruments indexed to variable rates (interest payments, related to financial instruments not defined as hedging instruments for interest rate cash flow hedges). As a result, these instruments are included in the calculation of financial results sensitivity analysis;
Changes in market interest rates affect income and expenses related to fixed interest rate financial instruments, in cases in which these are recognised at fair value. As such, all financial instruments with fixed interest rates booked at amortised cost, are not subject to interest rate risk, as defined in IFRS 7;
In the case of instruments designated as fair value hedges of interest rate risk, when changes to the fair value of the hedging instrument, which are attributable to movements in interest rates, are almost completely compensated in the financial results in the same period, these financial instruments are also considered not to be exposed to interest rate risks;
Changes in market interest rates of financial instruments which were designated as cash flow hedging instruments to cover fluctuations in payments resulting from changes in interest rates, are recorded in reserves, and are thus included in the sensitivity analysis calculation of shareholders' funds (other reserves);
Changes in market interest rates of interest rate derivatives, which are specified as being part of hedging relationships as defined in IAS 39, affect the results of the company (net gain/loss resulting from the revaluation of the fair value of financial instruments), and are thus included in the calculation of profit and loss sensitivity;
Changes in the fair value of derivatives and other financial assets and liabilities are estimated by calculating the discounted present value of future cash flows at existing market interest rates at the end of each year, and assuming a parallel variation in interest rate trends;
The sensitivity analysis is applied to all financial instruments existing at the end of the period.
Given the above mentioned assumptions, if interest rates of financial instruments denominated in euro had been 0.75 percentage points higher/lower, the consolidated net profit before tax of the Group as at 31 December 2010 would have been higher/lower by 1,012,471 euro (as at 31 December 2009 they would have been higher/lower by 1,347,677 euro) . The impact in equity (excluding the impact on net profit) of the interest rate sensitivity analysis as at 31 December 2010 would have been lower/higher by around 0 euro (as at 31 December 2009 the impact would have been lower/higher by around 0 euro).
The Sonae Capital Group, as a Group mainly operating in the Iberian peninsula, has an immaterial exposure to exchange rate risk.
In relation to translation risks, given that almost all of shareholders' funds and loans to affiliates are denominated in euro, there is no significant exposure to this risk.
In relation to transaction a risk, whenever exposure arises in this area, the risk is mainly managed through forward exchange rate contracts, in order to eliminate the volatility of forward exchange rate fluctuations, and thus increase cash flow certainty. From time to time, and if the amounts involved and degree of uncertainty are relevant, the Company, with approval from the Board of Directors, may use other options.
In view of the low volume of balances in foreign currency, no exchange rate sensitivity analysis was carried out.
The Group is exposed to risks arising from the value of investments made in financial shareholdings. However, these investments are in general made with strategic objectives in mind and not for current trading.
Credit risks at Sonae Capital arise mainly from (i) debts from customers relating to operational activity, (ii) its relationships with financial institutions in the course of its day to day business activity, and (iii) the risk of non compliance by business counterparts in portfolio transactions.
Customer Credit: The management of credit risk at Sonae Capital is structured to the specific needs of the businesses of the Group, always taking into consideration:
the specific profiles of customers of each business;
the careful determination of appropriate credit limits, based on the one hand on the customer's profile and on the other on the nature of business, avoiding excessive concentration of credit, and thus minimising its exposure to this risk;
regular follow up of customers' accounts;
the setting up of devolved processes of granting credit, and the segregation of administrative procedures from decision making processes;
the use of legal means necessary to recover debts.
Financial Institutions: The credit risk is linked to possible non compliance by Financial Institutions, to which the Group is contractually bound, in its normal operational activity, term deposits, cash balances and derivatives.
To mitigate this risk, the Group:
Defines a restricted range of chosen instruments (aimed at not contracting complex instruments, the structure of which is not entirely known);
Regularly monitors total exposures with each counterpart, in order to guarantee compliance with the policy established.
Shareholding Buy/Sale transactions: In the course of its business, the Group is exposed to the credit risk of counterparts with whom it agrees transactions concerning investments in shareholdings. In these cases, the means used to mitigate risks are determined on a one on one basis, in order to take into account the specifics of the transaction, with the constant supervision of the Board of Directors. Despite the variability of the means used, there exists always the possibility of using normal market methods, namely carrying out due diligences, obtaining financial information concerning the counterpart in question, or the pledging of an asset which is released when the financial transaction has been completed, requesting bank guarantees, setting up escrow accounts, obtaining collateral, among others.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure at any given moment that the Group has the financial capability under favourable market conditions to: (i) comply with its payment obligations when these fall due and (ii) ensure in a timely manner the appropriate financing for the development of its businesses and strategy.
To that end, the Group aims at maintaining a flexible financial structure, so that the process of managing liquidity within the Group includes the following key aspects:
As mentioned in Note 2 changes to international financial reporting standards did not result in material changes to accounting policies. There were no corrections of material errors from previous periods.

As at December 2010 net assets of Marina de Troia amount to 6,555,408 euro.
APSS – Administração dos Portos de Setúbal e Sesimbra, SA (APSS) signed in 2007 with an affiliated company a service concession arrangement to build and operate, in the public interest, a marina and support services in Troia, during a period of 50 years from the date of entry into operation. This period may be extended a maximum of 10 years if agreed between the parties. At the end of the service concession arrangement the concession will revert to APSS at no consideration, with some exceptions in the arrangement.
The Group has the right to charge fees for services to be provided under the concession. Maximum fee limits must be approved by the grantor based on a proposal submitted by the Group.
During the concession period the Group has a contractual obligation to maintain the infrastructure in a specific level of serviceability and pays the grantor a fixed fee and a variable fee, the latter based on revenues charged for the service provided.
The grantor may cancel the service concession arrangement whenever public interest is affected, provided that at least the contractual period is over and with at least 1 year notice, in which case the Group is entitled to compensation equal to the net book value of the infrastructure plus lost revenue calculated in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Investments in group companies, jointly controlled companies or associated companies excluded from consolidation are recorded at acquisition cost less impairment losses. The Group considers that it is not reasonable to estimate a fair value for these investments as there is no visible market data. The amount of Investments held for sale is related to investments recorded at cost net of impairment losses for the reason mentioned above.

In the normal course of activity collection risk may arise in Trade debtors. The amounts presented on the face of the balance sheet are net of impairment losses, which were estimated based on the Group's experience and on the assessment of present economic conditions. As a result, amounts disclosed in Trade debtors reflect their fair value.
As at 31 December 2010 we do not have any reason to believe that normal collection times regarding trade accounts receivable not due for which there are no impairment losses will not be met.

To determine the recoverability of Trade accounts receivable, the Group reviews all changes to the credit quality of its counterparties since the date of the credit to the date of reporting consolidated financial statements. Credit risk is not concentrated because of the significant number of trade debtors. The Group thus believes that credit risk does not exceed recorded impairment losses for trade accounts receivable doubtful accounts.
In addition, the Group considers that maximum exposure to credit risk corresponds to the total of trade accounts receivable disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet.

In 2010 and in previous years, the Sonae Capital Group granted deferred performance bonuses to employees, based on shares of Sonae Capital 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 31 December 2010 and 2009, the market value of total liabilities arising from share-based payments, which have not yet vested, may be summarised as follows:

The accompanying notes are part of these financial statements
Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA ("the Company" or "Sonae Capital") whose registered office is at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 3053, 4471‐907 Maia, Portugal, was set up on 14 December 2007 by public deed, following the demerger from Sonae, SGPS, SA of the whole of the shareholding in the company formerly named Sonae Capital, SGPS, SA, now named SC, SGPS, SA, in compliance with paragraph a) of article 118 of the Commercial Companies Code.
The Company's financial statements are presented as required by the Commercial Companies Code. According to Decree‐Law 35/2005 of 17 February 2007, the Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the accompanying individual financial statements are as follows:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), applicable to financial years beginning on 1 January 2009.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for financial instruments which are stated at fair value (Note 2.3).
Financial charges connected with loans contracted are generally recognised as a cost in accordance with the accruals principle, using for this purpose the effective interest rate method.
Investments are classified into the following categories:
Held to maturity investments are classified as non‐current assets unless they mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Investments classified as held to maturity have defined maturities and the Company has the intention and ability to hold them until the maturity date. Investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current investments. Available‐for‐sale investments are classified as non‐current assets.
Investments measured at fair value through profit and loss include investments held for negotiation which the company acquires with a view to disposal within a reasonable period of time and are classified in the balance sheet as current investments.
The Company classifies as available for sale investments those which are not classified as investments measured at fair value through profit and loss nor as investments held to maturity. These investments are classified as non current assets, unless there is an intention to dispose of them within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
All purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, independently of the settlement date.
Investments are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration paid for them, including transaction costs, in the case of available for sale investments.
Available‐for‐sale investments and investments measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value, without any deduction for transaction costs which may be incurred on sale, by reference to their quoted market price at the balance sheet date. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost, less impairment losses.
Gains and losses arising from a change in fair value of available‐for‐sale investments are recognised directly in equity, under Fair value reserve, until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, or until its fair value is lower than its carrying amount and that corresponds to an impairment loss, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the period.
Gains and losses resulting from changes to the fair value of derivatives valued at fair value are shown in the financial statements in the caption net financial charges/income.
Held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, net of capital reimbursements and interest income received.
In accordance with IAS 27, investments in affiliated and associated undertakings are stated at acquisition cost, less impairment losses.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance, independently from the legal form they assume.
Loans are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up‐front fees and commissions related to the issuance of those instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income statement on an accruals basis, in accordance with the accounting policy defined in Note 2.4. The portion of the effective interest charge relating to up‐front fees and commissions, if not paid in the period, is added to the book value of the loan.
Trade accounts payable are stated at their nominal value.
The Company uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks only to hedge such risks, and/or to optimize funding costs, in accordance with the interest rate risk policy stated in Note 3.1.
The derivatives used by the Company defined as cash‐flow hedge instruments relate mainly to interest rate hedge instruments on loans contracted. The indices, calculation methods, dates for re‐fixing interest rates and the reimbursement plans for the interest rate hedge instruments are all identical to the conditions established for the underlying contracted loans, and thus qualify as perfect hedges. Inefficiencies that may exist are shown in the caption Net financial income/expenses in the income statement.
The Company's criteria for classifying a derivative instrument as a cash‐flow hedge instrument include:
Cash‐flow hedge instruments used by the Company to hedge the exposure to changes in interest rates of its loans are initially accounted for at cost, if any, and subsequently adjusted to their corresponding fair value. Changes in fair value of these cash flow hedge instruments are recorded in equity, under the caption Hedging reserves, and then recognised in the income statement over the same period in which the hedged instrument affects profit or loss.
Hedge accounting of derivative instruments is discontinued when the instrument matures or is sold. Whenever a derivative instrument can no longer be qualified as a hedging instrument, the fair value differences recorded in equity, under the caption Hedging reserves, are transferred to profit or loss of the period or to the carrying amount of the asset that resulted from the hedged forecast transaction. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement.
In cases in which derivative instruments, in spite of having been negotiated in accordance with the interest rate risk policy stated in Note 3.1, in relation to which the Company did not apply hedge accounting, are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in value resulting from the measurement at fair value, calculated using especially designed software tools, are included in Net financial charges in the income statement.
When embedded derivatives exist, they are accounted for as separate derivatives when the risks and characteristics are not closely related to economic risks and characteristics of the host contract, and this is not stated at fair value, and unrealized gains or losses arising from these derivatives recorded in the income statement.
In specific situations, the Company may use interest rate derivatives with the goal of obtaining fair value hedging. In these situations, derivatives are booked at their fair value in the profit and loss account. In situations in which the derivative involved is not measured at fair value (in particular borrowings measured at amortised cost), the effective share of hedging will be adjusted to the accounting value of the derivative hedged through the profit and loss account.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury applications which mature in less than three months and are subject to insignificant risk of change in value.
In the cash‐flow statement, cash and cash equivalents also include bank overdrafts, which are included in the balance sheet caption current bank loans.
Income and expenses are recorded in the year to which they relate, independently of the date of the corresponding payment or receipt. Income and expenses for which their real amount is not known are estimated.
Other current assets and Other current liabilities include income and expenses of the reporting year which will only be invoiced in the future. Those captions also include receipts and payments that have already occurred but will only correspond to income or expenses of future years, when they will be recognised in the income statement.
Events after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the balance sheet date that are non‐adjusting events are disclosed in the notes, when material.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements are as follows:
Estimates were based on the best information available at the date of the preparation of the financial statements and on the best knowledge and experience of past and/or current events. These estimates may, however, be affected by subsequent events which are not foreseeable at the present day. Changes to these estimates, which take place after the date of the financial statements, will be recognized prospectively in the income statement, in accordance with IAS 8.
The main estimates and assumptions concerning future events included in the financial statements are described in the corresponding notes to the accounts, when applicable.
2.7 Income tax
Current income tax is determined in accordance with tax rules in force in Portugal, considering the profit for the period.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognised only when their use is probable.
As a result of maintaining its variable rate debt in the balance sheet, and the resulting cash flows from interest payments, the Company is exposed to the Euro interest rate risk.
In view of the fact that:
the Company policy concerning the mitigation of this risk does not establish the maintenance of any minimum proportion of fixed interest rate debt (converted to fixed rate through use of derivatives), but rather has opted for a dynamic approach to monitoring exposure, which aligns market conditions to the real exposure of the Company, in order to avoid the possibility of exposure that could have a real impact on the Company's results.
In view of the above, the Company policy concerning this issue defines a case by case review of each potential transaction, such that any contract for derivatives must follow the following principles:
b) Interest Rate Risk ‐ SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Interest rate sensitivity is based on the following assumptions:
instruments with fixed interest rates booked at amortised cost, are not subject to interest rate risk, as defined in IFRS 7;
Given the above assumptions, if interest rates of financial instruments denominated in euro had been 0.75 percentage points higher/lower, the net profit before tax of the Company as at 31 December 2010 would have been lower or higher by 598,820.22 euro, respectively. As at 31 December 2009 they would have been lower or higher by 1,396,667.13 euro.
c) Exchange Rate Risk
The Company has no exposure to exchange rate risk.
The Company is exposed to risks arising from the value of investments made in financial shareholdings. However, these investments are in general made with strategic objectives in mind and not for current trading.
Credit risks at Sonae Capital arises mainly from (i) its relationships with financial institutions in the course of its day to day business activity, and (ii) the risk of non compliance by business counterparts in portfolio transactions.
‐ Financial Institutions: The credit risk is linked to possible non compliance by Financial Institutions, from which the Company, in its normal operational activity, contracted term deposits, cash balances and derivatives.
To mitigate this risk, the Company:
‐ Shareholding Buy/Sale transactions: In the course of its business, the Company is exposed to the credit risk of counterparts with whom it agrees transactions concerning investments in shareholdings. In these cases, the means used to mitigate risks are determined on a one on one basis, in order to take into account the specifics of the transaction, with the constant supervision of the Board of Directors. Despite the wide range of means used, there exists always the possibility of using normal market methods, namely carrying out due diligence, obtaining financial information concerning the counterpart in question, or the pledging of an asset which is released when the financial transaction has been completed.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure at any given moment that the Company has the financial capability under favourable market conditions to: (i) comply with its payment obligations when these fall due and (ii) ensure in a timely manner the appropriate financing for the development of its businesses and strategy.
To that end, the Company aims at maintaining a flexible financial structure, so that the process of managing liquidity within the Company includes the following key aspects:
