Highlights

  • Consolidated turnover of 406.9 million euros
  • EBITDA of 124.5 million euros
  • EBITDA-operating capex of 65.6 million euros
  • Net results totals 38.1 million euros
  • FCF reaches 26.7 million euros (excluding extraordinary impacts)
  • Net debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.5x

"2Q12 is the sixteenth consecutive quarter in which we have recorded year-on-year growth in profitability, which provides further evidence of Sonaecom's consistently strong financial performance."

"Differentiating our brand from the competition, by delivering an excellent customer experience, lies at the heart of our strategy. Alongside improving efficiency levels, Optimus won recognition in two business-critical areas: network coverage and customer service. Our network was distinguished in terms of quality both in terms of 2G and 3G coverage. Meanwhile, for the second year running, we won first prize in the 'Best in Customer Service – EMEA' category."

"Driven by WeDo's performance, service revenue growth at SSI more than offset the decline in equipment sales, resulting in growth in total turnover, as well as improved profit margins."

Ângelo Paupério, CEO, Sonaecom

Our business

In 1H12, Sonaecom's turnover benefited from the positive performance of Software and Information Systems (SSI), with 2Q12 service revenues more than offsetting the decline in product sales, which − combined with reduced operating costs − enabled us to achieve an EBITDA growth of 6.1% y.o.y., to 124.5 million euros. Based on our consistent performance over 1H12, our cash flow generation, excluding extraordinary effects, amounted to 26.7 million euros, representing an increase of 21.9% compared to 21.9 million euros in the 1H11. Also, net results rose 19.9% against last year to 38.1 million euros.

During this period, Optimus's operating profitability sustained its upward trend, growing 5.0% y.o.y to 121.9 million euros on the back of efficiency initiatives at the company. In particular, we would highlight the 2Q12 mobile EBITDA margin of 45.4%, up 5.2pp y.o.y. As a result of our focus on deploying our leading edge 4G network, mobile operating capex increased 19.5% to 47.9 million euros.

At SSI, following the acquisition in the USA of Connectiv Solutions during April 2012, WeDo Technologies has already been selected by one of the largest US wireless carriers to support its business assurance needs. During 1H12, WeDo's international revenues represented 69.4% of turnover, growing 5.0% versus 1H11.

Throughout 2012, we will continue to deal with the impacts of the consumer spending behaviour on our business, while improving our competitive position.

1. Consolidated results

Turnover

Consolidated turnover in 1H12 stood at 406.9 million euros, 4.3% below 1H11 but slowing down against the 6.2% decline in 1Q12. Here, a significant driver was SSI's turnover growth, with service revenue growth more than offsetting a decline in product sales in this quarter.

The evolution of our consolidated turnover was driven by a decrease of 3.0% in service revenues and a decrease of 18.6% in product

sales. The drop in service revenues was driven by Optimus's service revenues, which were impacted by regulated tariffs (mobile termination rates, MTRs, and roaming in) and Portugal's austerity economic environment. The negative growth of product sales is explained by our SSI division, mostly due to Bizdirect, consequence of the termination of the einitiatives programme and the macroeconomic context.

Operating costs

Operating costs decreased 8.0% between 1H11 and 1H12 to 287.4 million euros. This is explained by the optimisation plan carried out over the past few years at Optimus and the lower cost of goods sold at SSI. With Optimus's ongoing efficiency measures, the company has been reducing its cost structure while achieving significant improvements to several key indicators.

Between 1H11 and 1H12, operating costs as a percentage of turnover decreased 2.9pp.

EBITDA

Our consolidated EBITDA increased 6.1% to 124.5 million euros, more than offsetting the consolidated turnover performance, with all the business divisions evolving positively between the two periods.

The consolidated EBITDA margin increased 3.0pp from 27.6% to 30.6%. Importantly, the 2Q12 mobile EBITDA margin stood at 45.4%.

Net profit

The net results group share reached 38.1 million euros, growing 19.9% compared to 1H11, mainly driven by the improved EBITDA performance.

The evolution of our net financial results was primarily impacted by a higher level of financial expenses, the result of a higher average net debt level and a higher cost of debt.

Notwithstanding the higher EBT level, the tax

line in 1H12 showed a cost of 6.6 million euros against a cost of 7.9 million euros in 1H11, due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets. 1H11 EBITDA D&A Net Fin. Res. Taxes Min. Interests 1H12

Operating capex

During the 1H12, operating capex grew 9.7% y.o.y.. This was impacted by the 4G network deployment at our mobile business. Additionally, Optimus continued to implement solutions that enabled us to reduce mobile backhaul costs while decreasing dependency on third-party infrastructure.

The operating capex as a percentage of turnover increased 1.9pp y.o.y., to 14.5%, driven by the 4G investment cycle. 1H11 Mobile Wireline SSI Other & Elim. 1H12

Capital structure

Consolidated net debt reached 367.8 million euros compared to 355.8 million euros at the end of 1Q12, due to the 25.2 million euros dividend distribution, compensated by the positive FCF generation.

The 1H12 net debt increased 24.7% against 1H11, driven mostly by the 83.0 million euros outflow related to the spectrum acquisition. The net debt to EBITDA ratio increased from 1.3x to 1.5x in 1H12, due to a higher net debt level, which more than offsets the positive EBITDA performance.

In 1H12, total credit facilities amounted to 549.0 million euros while the all-in average cost of debt reached 3.25%.

Free cash flow (FCF)

FCF stood at negative 72.3 million euros in 1H12, impacted by (i) the outflow of 10.0 million euros related to the securitisation operation; (ii) the 83.0 million euros outflow in January, relating to the spectrum acquisition; and (iii) a payment of 6.0.million euros related to the Connectiv Solutions acquisition at the end of April 2012.

Excluding these effects, 1H12 FCF would have amounted to 26.7 million euros, representing an increase of 21.9% compared to the 21.9 million euros achieved in the 1H11 (excluding the securitisation outflow).

In 2Q12, the 8.8 million euros VAT amount was reimbursed, offsetting the negative extraordinary impact reported in 1Q12.

2. Optimus

  • Optimus EBITDA reaches 121.9 million euros, up 5.0% y.o.y
  • Optimus mobile EBITDA margin rises to 45.4% in 2Q12, up 5.2pp y.o.y
  • Data revenues represents 32.8% of mobile service revenues in 2Q12

Optimus customer experience as a strategic key differentiation driver

While becoming a much more efficient business, Optimus has been achieving important improvements across several key indicators linked to its network and customer service.

In a report published in May 2012, the Optimus network led again in terms of 2G and 3G coverage in urban areas, according to the ICP-ANACOM analysis that evaluated the quality of mobile services and coverage of mobile networks in Portugal.

In May 2012, for the third consecutive year, Optimus customer service was commended at the APCC Portugal Best Awards 2012, winning the prizes at the telecommunications category. In July 2012, the Optimus customer support team participated in the 2012 World Contact Center Award, winning first prize in the 'Best in Customer Service – EMEA' category for the second consecutive time. This category is the most relevant and comprehensive of all categories in the competition, which is considered the world's most important customer care prize.

2.1. Optimus mobile business

In 2Q12, the decline in Optimus's mobile customer revenues accelerated as expected, due to the impact of Portugal's austerity measures. Despite the pressure, the mobile EBITDA margin reached 43.8%, one of the highest margins among third mobile operators in Europe. Driven by efficiencies achieved through our ongoing optimisation plan, it saw us close the gap on our competitors.

Customer base

Optimus' mobile customer base stood at 3.57 million, down 0.6% y.o.y., driven by the end of the government's einitiatives programme and the impact of Portugal's austerity measures, mainly in the personal sector.

Mobile customers' ARPU at 1H12 stood at 12.0 euros, with the 2Q12 ARPU stable versus the 1Q12, but decreasing 0.8 euros compared to 1H11. This fall came on the back of lower interconnection revenues, which decreased from 1.7 euros to 1.4 euros, and a lower customer monthly bill, which decreased from 11.1 euros to 10.6 euros. MOUs decreased 2.8% y.o.y. to an average of 123 minutes per month.

Data services and mobile broadband

Data revenues represented 32.0% of service revenues in 1H12, a flat evolution compared to 1H11. This was fuelled by the increasing smartphone adoption and the increased usage of these mobile devices, compensating for the impact of the end of the e-initiatives programme. However, smartphone penetration is still relatively low in Portugal and, therefore, represents an important growth opportunity. The weight of non-SMS related data remained almost stable between the two periods, decreasing 0.5pp despite the impact of the e-initiatives programme termination.

Turnover

Mobile turnover decreased 6.4% in 1H12 to 262.5 million euros, driven by service revenues and equipment sales. The decline in service revenues was due to a combination of lower customer revenues and lower operator revenues. As we anticipated, customer revenues decreased 4.9% between 1H11 and 1H12 to 222.4 million euros due to the end of the government's e-initiatives programme and due to the negative impact of the austerity on consumption levels, mostly in the personal sector. Operator revenues decreased 14.9% between 1H11 and 1H12 to 30.2 million euros because of lower regulated tariffs, MTRs and roaming in.

Operating costs

As a result of Optimus' operational efficiency plan to create a leaner organisation, mobile operating costs decreased 13.5% y.o.y. to 162.2 million euros, benefiting from (i) a 16.9% decrease in the level of direct servicing costs, due to a lower level of leased lines and network-related costs, as Optimus continues to reduce its dependency on rented infrastructure, and due to lower level of interconnection costs, driven by lower mobile termination rates; and, (ii) a 25.3% decrease in commercial costs, due to lower level of cost of goods sold (as a result of lower equipment sales) and, mostly, due to lower advertising costs.

EBITDA

Mobile EBITDA increased 4.5% y.o.y. to 114.9 million euros, wholly driven by a 14.6% decrease in operating costs. The EBITDA margin reached 43.8% in 1H12 against 39.2% in 1H11, an increase of 4.6pp. EBITDA-operating capex decreased 4.1% y.o.y., due entirely to an increase of 19.5% in operating capex, impacted by the 4G network deployment.

2.2.Optimus wireline business

In 1H12, Optimus continued to achieve a positive performance in the corporate and SMEs segment, critical segment for our strategy. Supported on its integrated and convergent approach, Optimus has been continuously introducing important improvements to its product portfolio in response to market demand.

In the residential segment, Optimus continues to expand its FTTH customer base, which grew almost 50% against last year with 3P penetration surpassing 80%.

Customer base

Optimus continued to expand its presence in the corporate and SMEs segment, with the number of accesses increasing 0.3% to 155 thousand. Besides providing voice and broadband accesses, Optimus also provides an increasing number of e-services (for example: e-fax, e-backup) to the SME segment alongside a growing number of dedicated lines and VPN connections to the corporate segment.

The number of total accesses decreased 8.9% y.o.y. to 354 thousand accesses, driven by the decrease of 14.9% in the residential segment. This was impacted by the decision to abandon residential customer acquisition through the incumbent's infrastructure, which was implemented in 2011.

Turnover

Wireline turnover increased 1.7% y.o.y. to 108.8 million euros due entirely to a 12.0% growth in the level of operator revenues. This growth was driven by an increase in traffic levels despite a decrease in wholesale traffic prices.

Operating costs

Wireline operating costs suffered a 1.1% y.o.y. increase to 102.3 million euros, driven by the 2.5% increase in direct servicing costs. This was due to the higher level of interconnection costs, the consequence of an increase in wholesale traffic, despite the decrease in ULL accesses. Commercial costs increased to 7.6 million euros due to the higher costs of goods sold as well as marketing costs. Other operating costs decreased 17.8% primarily due to lower outsourcing costs.

EBITDA

As a result of our revenue and cost performance, the 1H12 Wireline EBITDA increased 14.0% y.o.y., reaching 7.0 million euros. The EBITDA margin increased from 5.7% to 6.4%, growing 0.7pp y.o.y.. EBITDA-operating capex improved 55.0%, between the two periods, reaching a negative 2.6 million euros. This was supported by a higher EBITDA and lower operating capex.

3.Software and Information Systems

WeDo Technologies, SSI's largest company in terms of service revenues, continued to expand its international footprint while focusing on the acquisition of new projects in the business assurance market. Presently, WeDo Technologies has more than 150 clients in 80 countries. During 1H12, its international revenues represented 69.4% of its turnover, growing 5.0% compared to 1H11.

In April 2012, with the acquisition of Connectiv Solutions, WeDo Technologies ensured a solid basis in the USA with a Software as a Service (SaaS) operation, reinforcing its position in the business assurance telecoms market. In July 2012, one of the largest wireless carriers in the United States selected WeDo's flagship product, RAID, to support the company's revenue and billing assurance needs, a deal that leverages assets from both WeDo Technologies and Connectiv Solutions.

Mainroad, specialising in IT management, security and business continuity, was able to increase its service revenues by 2.1%, improving its EBITDA almost 90% between 1H11 and 1H12, despite the challenging market conditions.

Bizdirect, affected by the end of the e-initiatives programme and by the macroeconomic landscape, reported a turnover decline of almost 40%. However, the company strengthened its position as a leading player in multi-brand IT solutions, supported by partnerships with the market's main manufacturers and by the management of corporate software licensing contracts. We would like to highlight the company's growth of 29.0% in international revenues against 1H11.

Saphety strengthened its position as a leading player in solutions for simplifying and automating processes in the domestic market. It also increased its customer base worldwide with international revenues already representing 15.2% of total turnover.

Turnover

SSI's turnover decreased y.o.y. by 12.3% to 49.0 million euros, impacted by the 45.6% drop in equipment sales at Bizdirect. Service revenues continued to rise, growing 6.5% y.o.y. and already benefiting from the acquisition of Connectiv Solutions. Since 1 May 2012, Connectiv Solutions results have been consolidated into SSI's accounts. On a like-for-like basis, service revenues would have grown 3.6% y.o.y..

It should be noted that SSI turnover increased 8.0% to 24.8 million euros between 2Q11 and 2Q12, now more than offsetting the decline in product sales.

Operating costs

SSI operating costs decreased y.o.y. by 14.5% to 45.2 million euros. The 42.7% decrease in the level of commercial costs is mostly a direct result of the lower cost of goods sold level at Bizdirect. Personnel costs increased 1.9% following the integration of Connectiv Solutions staff. The increase in other operating costs relates mainly to higher outsourcing costs, aimed at supporting the increased number of projects in course, as reflected in service revenues.

EBITDA

During 1H12, EBITDA reached 4.6 million euros, increasing 35.7% compared to 1H11. This was due to higher service revenues and lower operating costs. As a result of (i) the lower equipment sales, (ii) the higher service revenues and (iii) the decrease in operating costs, the EBITDA margin increased y.o.y. from 6.0% to 9.3%, up 3.3pp. Excluding the effect of Connectiv Solutions' consolidation, the EBITDA would have increased 27.2% against 1H11.

4. Online & Media

Sonaecom's Online & Media business comprises a set of additional businesses such as Miau.pt and Público.

Motivated by the digital Público's global number of readers is increasing, amounting to the highest values ever. Currently, Público is a clear leader on social networks, exceeding 250 thousand followers on Facebook. Digital revenues have been growing, but until now they have not been enough to offset falling revenues from advertising and offline circulation.

The considerably lower level of advertising sales against the negative macroeconomic backdrop inevitably impacted the Online & Media EBITDA. Even so, at a negative 1.33 million euros, the EBITDA almost remained stable in 1H12 versus 1H11.

(1) Excludes Amortization, Depreciation and Provisions

Service revenues totalled 1.9 million euros, which compares to 2.0 million last year and essentially comprises management services provided to its subsidiaries.

At 30 June 2012, Sonaecom SGPS had 4 board members (the same of last year). The amount of operational costs (excluding depreciation, amortization charges and provisions) totalled 2.2 million euros, which compares with 2.5 million euros in 2011, being this significantly caused by lower personnel costs and lower outsourcing costs.

EBITDA was a negative 0.3 million euros compared to a negative 0.5 million euros in 2011. The decrease in service revenues were compensated for opex decreases.

Sonaecom's SGPS's principal source of financial income in 2012 was the 78.9 million euros dividends received from Optimus – Comunicações, S.A. (46.7 million euros), from Sonae Telecom SGPS (17.4 million euros), from Sontaria (0.6 million euros) and from Sonaecom Sistemas de Informação (14.1 million euros). In 2011, Sonaecom didn't receive dividends from its subsidiaries.

Net financial activity (interest income less interest expenses) was a positive 0.2 million euros, significantly below 2011 (5.4 million euros) due to a higher level of cost of debt and lower loans granted to subsidiaries which resulted in lower interest income.

Other financial results were a negative 3.8 million euros, almost totally driven by impairment recognition on Público (2.9 million euros) and Lugares Virtuais (0.4 million euros).

Net results for the semester were positive by 74.9 million euros, significantly higher than 2011 due to the higher level of dividends.

The rights of use were extended by 15 years to November 2027 and the conditions for the renewal include the obligation to maintain the current levels of coverage for voice and data services (up to 9600 bps) and to cover local or specific areas determined by the regulator.

Universal Service (US) Funding

25 May 2012

The Government presented a draft law establishing the conditions for the compensation fund to finance the excessive net costs arising from the terms of the US.

According to the draft-law, telecom providers must contribute to the fund if the eligible turnover represents 1% of the industry's turnover. The eligible turnover corresponds to the value of sales and services in the national territory, deducted from the revenues of activities not related to provision of electronic communications services, revenues from transactions between entities belonging to the same company and the equipment sales.

Other Comprehensive Income)

The amendments to IAS 1 require companies preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs to group together items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement.

IAS 19 - Amendments (Employee Benefits) 1-Jan-13

The amendments make important improvements by eliminating an option to defer the recognition of gains and losses, known as the presentation, streamlining the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans and enhancing the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans.

These standards, although approved (endorsed) by the European Union, were not adopted by the Group in the period ended at 30 June 2012, as the application of these standards is not yet mandatory.

No significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements resulting from the adoption of the same.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not yet been approved (endorsed) by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 1 - Amendments (Severe 1-Jul-11
Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates
for First-Time Adopters)
The amendments referred to the Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of
Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters: 1) replace the fixed dates in the
derecognition exception and the exemption related to the initial fair
value measurement of financial instruments; and 2) add a deemed cost
exemption to IFRS 1 that an entity can apply at the date of transaction
to IFRSs after being subject to severe hyperinflation.
IFRS 1 - Amendments (Government Loans) 1-Jan-13
The amendments referred to the Government Loans addresses how a
first-time adopters would account for a government loan with a below
market rate of interest when transitioning to IFRS and proposes to
permit prospective application of IAS 20 requirements.
IFRS 7 Amendments (Offsetting Financial 1-Jan-13
Assets and Financial Liabilities:
Disclosures)
The amendment requires disclosures to improve the understanding of
transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitisations),
including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may
remain after the transfer. It also requires additional disclosures if a
disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken
around the end of a reporting period.
IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments and 1-Jan-15
subsquent amendments)
This standard is the first step in the project to replace IAS 39, and it
introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial
assets.
IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial 1-Jan-13
Statements)
Builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the
consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard
provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control
where this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements) 1-Jan-13
Provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing
on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal
form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies
in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to
account for interests in jointly controlled entities.
IFRS 12 (Disclosures of Interests in Other 1-Jan-13
Entities)
New and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all
forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements,
associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet
vehicles.
Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) 1-Jan-13
It will improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing, for the
first time, a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs.
Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011) 1-Jan-13
The IASB finalise its annual improvements publication corresponding to
the 2009-2011 cycle including six amendments to five IFRSs. The
annual improvements process provides a mechanism for non urgent
but necessary amendments to International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs) to be grouped together and issued in one package.
Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS
10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)
1-Jan-13
The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements and also provide additional transition
relief in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests
in Other Entities, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted
comparative information to only the preceding comparative period.
Furthermore, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured
entities, the amendments will remove the requirement to present
comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied.
IAS 12 - Amendments (Deferred tax: 1-Jan-12
Recovery of Underlying Assets)
The amendment introduces, in the case of investment properties
measured using the fair value model, the presumption that recovery of
the carrying amount will normally be through sale, in order to determine
their tax impact. As a result of the amendments, SIC 21 - 'Income
apply to investment properties carried at fair value. The amendments
also incorporate into IAS 12 the remaining guidance previously
contained in SIC-21, which is accordingly withdrawn.
IAS 27 (Separate Financial Statements)
Consolidation requirements previously forming part of IAS 27 have
been revised and are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements´.
1-Jan-13
IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures)
1-Jan-13
The objective of IAS 28 (as amended in 2011) is to prescribe the
accounting for investments in associates and to set out the
requirements for the application of the equity method when
accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.
IAS 32 - Amendments (Offsetting Financial 1-Jan-14
Assets and Financial Liabilities)
IAS 32 is amended to refer to the IFRS 7 disclosure requirements in
respect of offsetting arrangements.
IFRIC 20 Interpretation (Stripping Costs in
the Production Phase of a Surface Mine)
1-Jan-13
The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping should lead to the
recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both

The application of these standards and interpretations, when applicable, will have no material effect on future consolidated financial statements.

During the period ended at 3 0 June 2012, in line with best practice in the telecoms sector, the Group changed its contracts. To date, these were recorded as an expense in the year they occurred. From 1 January 2012, the costs incurred nsation clauses in the event of early termination, are capitalized as and amortised over the period of their contracts. This change occurs because it is now possible to apply a reliable cost allocation to the respective contracts, as well as the revenue generated by each contract, thus fulfilling the criteria for capitalisation required by IAS 38 Intangible assets.

When a contract is terminated, the net value of intangible assets associated with this contract is immediately recognised as an expense in the income statement. This accounting policy allows a more true, fair and reliable presentation of the financial position and the financial performance of the Group, as it allows the alignment between the costs incurred with alty contracts and the revenue generated.

Additionally, with the perceived relevant frequency, impairment tests will be made to ensure that the current value of the estimated revenues associated with each contract is greater than the amount that is capitalised.

As provided under IAS 8 - Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors, the policy change was applied retrospectively. Therefore, on 1 January 2011, the Group recognized an intangible asset related to the amount of costs incurred w net of the respective amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The consolidated income statement for 2011 has been adjusted to reflect: (1) the capitalization of yalty contracts and (ii) amortisation and impairment losses of intangible assets recognized in the year and in the previous years. Consequently, changes were made in the consolidated balance sheets of 1 January 2011, 30 June 2011 and 31 December 2011, as well as in the consolidated Income statements (by nature) for the period ended 30 June 2011 and for the year ended on 31 December 2011, as follows:

initially and in subsequent periods.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group on 30 June 2012 are comparable with those used in the preparation of 31 December 2011 financial statements, with the exception for the point mentioned above.

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are as follows:

a) Investments in Group companies

Investments in companies in which the Group has direct or tings, in excess of 50%, or in which it has control over the financial and operating policies (definition of control used by the Group) were fully consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Third party participations in the Shareho recorded separately in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated profit and loss statement, respectively, under Non-controlling

Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the Shareholders of parent company and the non-controlling interests even if this results in a deficit balance of noncontrolling interests.

In the acquisition of subsidiaries, the purchase method is applied. The results of subsidiaries bought or sold during the year are included in the profit and loss statement as from the date of acquisition (or of control acquisition) or up to the date of sale (or of control cession). Intra-Group transactions, balances and dividends are eliminated.

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of investments in Group companies are recorded as cost when they are incurred.

The fully consolidated companies are listed in note 2.

b) Investments in associated companies

Investments in associated companies correspond to investments in which the Group has significant influence (generally investments representing between 20% and 50% of and are recorded using the equity method.

In accordance with the equity method, investments are share of the net results of associated companies, against a corresponding entry to gain or loss for the year, and by the amount of dividends received, as well as by other changes in the equity of the associated companies, which are recorded by assessment of the investments in associated companies is performed annually, with the aim of detecting possible impairment situations.

associated company exceeds the book value of the investment, the investment is recorded at nil value, except when the Group has assumed commitments to the associated company, a situation when a provision is recorded under the

Investments in associated companies are listed in note 4.

c) Companies jointly controlled

The financial statements of companies jointly controlled have been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements by the proportional method, since their acquisition date. According to this method, assets, liabilities, income and costs of these companies have been included into the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in the proportion attributable to the Group.

The excess of cost in relation to the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the jointly controlled companies at the time of their acquisition was recorded as Goodwill (note 9). If the difference between cost and the fair value of the net assets and liabilities acquired is negative, it is recognised as income of the period, after reconfirmation of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.

The transactions, balances and dividends distributed among Group companies and jointly controlled companies are eliminated in the proportion attributable to the Group.

The classification of financial investments as jointly controlled is determined, among other things, on the Sharehol Agreements that govern the jointly controlled companies.

A description of the companies jointly controlled is disclosed in note 3.

d) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis as from the date the assets are available for use in the necessary conditions to operate as intended by the management, by a corresponding charge under the profit and

Impairment losses detected in the realisation value of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a amortisat

The annual depreciation rates used correspond to the estimated useful life of the assets, which are as follows:

Years of
useful life
Buildings 50
Other constructions 10 -40
Networks 10 -40
Other plant and machinery 1 - 16
Vehicles 4
Fixtures and fittings 1 -10
Tools 4 - 8
Other tangible assets 4 - 8

During the period ended at 30 June 2011, the Board of Directors of the Group proceeded with prospective effect to the revision of the estimated useful life of a set of assets related to the telecommunications networks and mobile telephones, based on evaluation reports produced by specialised independent agencies.

Current maintenance and repair costs of fixed assets are recorded as costs in the year in which they occur. Improvements of significant amount, which increase the estimated useful life of the assets, are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the remaining estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

The estimated costs related with the mandatory dismantling and removal of tangible assets, incurred by the Group, are capitalised and amortised in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

Work in progress corresponds to fixed assets still in the construction/development stage which are recorded at their acquisition cost. These assets are depreciated as from the moment they are in condition to be used and when they are ready to start operating as intended by the management. Good conditions in terms of network coverage and / or necessary quality and technical reliability to ensure minimum services are examples of conditions evaluated by the management.

e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is likely that they will bring future economic benefits to the Group, if the Group controls them and if their cost can be reasonably measured.

Intangible assets comprise, essentially, software (excluding the one included in tangible assets software), industrial property, costs incurred with the mobile network operator licenses (GSM, UMTS and Spectrum for 4th generation services) and the fixed network operator licenses, as well as the costs incurred w portfolios (value attributed under the purchase price allocation in business combin loyalty contracts.

Amortisations of intangible assets are calculated on a straightline monthly basis, over the estimated useful life of the assets (one to six years), as from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred. Mobile and fixed network operator licenses are amortised over the estimated period for which they were granted, so, the UMTS license is being amortised until 2030 and the LTE license until 2041. Additional license costs, namely the ones related to the commitments assumed by the Group under the UMTS license, being amortised up to the estimated useful life of the license is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated average retention period of the customers (six years).

Expenditures with internally-generated intangible assets, namely research and development expenditures, are recognised in the profit and loss statement when incurred. Development expenditures can only be recognised as an intangible asset if the Group demonstrates the ability to complete the project and is able to put it in use or available for sale.

include compensation clauses in the event of early t and amortised over the period of their contracts. When a contract is terminated, the net value of intangible assets associated with this contract is immediately recognised as an expense in the income statement. Additionally, with the perceived relevant frequency, impairment tests will be made to ensure that the current value of the estimated revenues is greater than the amount that is capitalised.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss

f) Brands and patents

Brands and patents are recorded at their acquisition cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful life. When the estimated useful life is undetermined, they are not depreciated but are subject to annual impairment tests.

Sonaecom Group does not hold any brands or patents with undetermined useful life, therefore the second half of the above referred paragraph is not applicable.

g) Goodwill

The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries and associated companies added the value of non-controlling interests, and the amount attributed to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, are recorded under the of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement. The Group will chose, on an acquisition-byacquisition basis, to measure non-controlling interests either at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, or at the fair value of the noncontrolling interests themselves. Until 1 January 2010, non- -controlling interests were always measured at their proportionate interest on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities.

Contingent consideration is recognised as a liability, at the acquisition-date, according to its fair value, and any changes to long as they occur months after the acquisition-date) and as long as they relate to facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, otherwise these changes must be recognised in profit or loss.

Transactions regarding the acquisition of additional interests in a subsidiary after control is obtained, or the partial disposal of an investment in a subsidiary while control is retained, are accounted for as equity transactions impacting the shareholders funds captions, and without giving rise to any recognised.

The moment a sales transaction to generate a loss of control, should be derecognised assets and liabilities of the entity and any interest retained in the entity sold should be remeasured at fair value and any gain or loss calculated on the sale is recorded in results.

estimated period of recovery of the investments, usually 10 years, and the annual amortisation was recorded in the profit the IFRS 3 impairment tests (paragraph x). Impairment losses of Goodwill are recorded in the profit and loss statement for the period

h) Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following -to- -foron the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

The classification of the investments is determined at the initial recognition and re-evaluated every quarter.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it has been acquired mainly with the purpose of selling it in the short term or if the adoption of this method allows reducing or eliminating an accounting mismatch. Derivatives are also registered as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These financial investments arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, deducted from any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when their maturity is greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date, a situation in which they are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in the balance sheet.

-to-

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed intention and ability to hold until their maturity.

-for-

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative investments that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other above referred categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose them within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on tradedate the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair

the transaction costs are recorded in the profit and loss statement. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or all substantial risks and rewards of their ownership have been transferred.

-for-sale financial value.

-toare carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the profit and loss statement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit and loss statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using other valuation techniques. These include the use of recent discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models these techniques can be used, the Group values those investments at cost net of any identified impairment losses. The fair value of listed investments is determined based on the closing Euronext share price at the balance sheet date.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant (above 25%) or prolonged (in two consecutive quarters) decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment losses on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss statement.

i) Financial and operational leases Lease contracts are classified as financial leases, if, in substance, all risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased asset are transferred by the lease contract or as operational leases, if, in substance, there is no transfer of risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased assets.

The lease contracts are classified as financial or operational in accordance with the substance and not with the form of the respective contracts.

Fixed assets acquired under finance lease contracts and the related liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method. Under this method the tangible assets, the corresponding accumulated depreciation and the related liability are recorded in accordance with the contractual financial plan at fair value or, if less, at the present value of payments. In addition, interests included in lease payments and the depreciation of the tangible assets are recognised as expenses in the profit and loss statement for the period to which they relate.

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

j) Inventories

Inventories are stated at their acquisition cost, net of any impairment losses, which reflects their estimated net realisable value.

Accumulated inventory impairment losses reflect the difference between the acquisition cost and the realisable amount of inventories, as well as the estimated impairment losses due to low turnover, obsolescence and deterioration, and are registered in profit and loss s sales

k) Trade and other current debtors

Trade and other current debtors are recorded at their net realisable value and do not include interests, since the discount effect is not significant.

These financial instruments arise when the Group provides money, supplies goods or provides services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

The amounts of these captions are presented net of any impairment losses and are registered in profit and loss s Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in

l) Cash and cash equivalents

bank deposits and other treasury applications where the risk of change in value is insignificant.

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7, using the direct method. The Group investments that mature in less than three months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. Th bank overdrafts, which are reflected in the balance sheet -

The cash flow statement is classified by operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include collections from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and other flows related to operating activities. Cash flows from investing activities include the acquisition and sale of investments in associated and subsidiary companies, as well as receipts and payments resulting from the purchase and sale of fixed assets. Cash flows from financing activities include payments and receipts relating to loans obtained and finance lease contracts.

All amounts included under this caption are likely to be realised in the short term and there are no amounts given or pledged as guarantee.

m) Loans

expenses incurred in setting up loans are recorded as a deduction to the nominal debt and recognised during the period of the loan, based on the effective interest rate method. The interests incurred but not yet due are added to the loans caption until their payment.

n) Financial expenses relating to loans obtained Financial expenses relating to loans obtained are generally recognised as expenses at the time they are incurred. Financial expenses related to loans obtained for the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. These expenses are capitalised starting from the time of preparation for the construction or development of the asset and are interrupted when the assets are ready to operate, at the end of the production or construction phases or when the associated project is suspended.

o) Derivatives

The Group only uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge against such risks. The Group does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

The cash flow hedges used by the Group are related to:

  • (i) interest rate swap operations to hedge against interest rate risks on loans obtained. The amounts, interest payment dates and repayment dates of the underlying interest rate swaps are similar in all respects to the conditions established for the contracted loans. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in assets or liabilities, against a corresponding entry under the caption
  • (ii) exchange risk, particularly from receipts from customers of subsidiary Wedo Consulting. The values and times periods involved are identical to the amounts invoiced and their maturities.

In cases where the hedge instrument is not effective, the amounts that arise from the adjustments to fair value are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement.

At 30 June 2012, the Group did not have any derivative, in addition to those mentioned in note 1.y).

p) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation (either legal or implicit) resulting from a past event, the resolution of which is likely to involve the disbursement of funds by an amount that can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are reviewed at the balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date.

Provisions for restructurings are only registered if the Group has a detailed plan and if that plan has already been communicated to the parties involved.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes, if the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is not remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes when future economic benefits are likely to occur.

q) Income tax

payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12

Sonaecom has adopted, since 1 January 2008, the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, under which, the provision for income tax is determined on the basis of the estimated taxable income of all the companies covered by that regime, in accordance with such rules. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all subsidiaries on which the Group holds at least 90% of their share capital, with its headquarters located in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC). The remaining Group companies not covered by the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies are taxed individually based on their respective taxable income, in accordance with the tax rules in force in the location of the headquarters of each company.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits shall arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each year the recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets are revised and they are reduced whenever their realisation ceases to be probable, or increased if future taxable profits are, likely, enabling the recovery of such assets (note 11).

Deferred taxes are calculated with the tax rate that is expected to be in force at the time the asset or liability will be used.

Whenever deferred taxes derive from assets or liabilities situations, deferred taxes are always recorded in the profit and loss statement.

r) Government subsidies

Subsidies awarded to finance personnel training are recognised as income during the period in which the Group incurs the associated costs and are included in the profit and loss statement

Subsidies awarded to finance investments are recorded as deferred income and are included in the profit and loss subsidies awarded are used to finance investments in tangible assets, they are recorded in the profit and loss statement during the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets. If the subsidies awarded are used to finance other investments then they are recorded as the investment expenditure is incurred.

s) Accrual basis and revenue recognition

Expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. Estimated amounts are used when actual amounts are not known.

-current asset period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods. The latter shall be included by the corresponding amounts in the results of the periods that they relate to.

The costs attributable to current year and whose expenses will only occur in future years are estimated and recorded under -current when it is possible to estimate reliably the amount and the timing of occurrence of the expense. If there is uncertainty regarding both the date of disbursement of funds, and the amount of the obligation, the value is classified as Provisions (note 1.p)).

Revenue from telecommunications services is recognised in the period in which it occurs. Such services are invoiced on a monthly basis. Revenues not yet invoiced, from the last invoicing cycle to the end of the month, are estimated and recorded based on actual traffic. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts, which are usually not material, are recorded in the following period.

Sales revenues are recognised in the consolidated profit and loss statement when the significant risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the assets are transferred to the buyer and the amount of the corresponding revenue can be reasonably quantified. Sales are recognised before taxes and net of discounts.

The income related to pre-paid cards is recognised whenever the minutes are used. At the end of each period the minutes still to be used are estimated and the amount of income associated with those minutes is deferred.

Costs relating to customer loyalty programmes, under which points are awarded by the subsidiary Optimus Comunicações, S.A., are calculated taking into consideration the probability of the redemption of the points, and are recognised, as a deduction to income, at the time the points

The revenues and costs of the consultancy projects developed in the information systems consultancy segment are recognised in each period, according to the percentage of completion method.

Non-current financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and, in each period, the financial actualisation of the fair value is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the

capti

receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

t) Balance sheet classification

Assets and liabilities due in more than one year from the date of the balance sheet are classified, respectively, as noncurrent assets and non-current liabilities.

ssified as non-current assets and liabilities (notes 11 and 17).

u) Reserves

Legal reserve

Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5% of until such reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable, except in case of liquidation of the Company, but may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase the share capital.

Share premiums

The share premiums relate to premiums generated in the issuance of capital or in capital increases. According to Portuguese Commercial law, share premiums follow the same except in case of liquidation, but they can be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted or to increase share capital.

Medium Term Incentive Plans Reserves

According to IFRS 2 responsibility related with the Medium Term Incentive Plans is re be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

e considered effective (note 1.o)) and it is non-distributable nor can it be used to absorb losses.

Own shares reserve

The own shares reserve reflects the acquisition value of the own shares and follows the same requirements of legal reserve.

Under Portuguese law, the amount of distributable reserves is determined in accordance with the individual financial

statements of the Company, presented in accordance with IAS / IFRS. Therefore, at 30 June 2012, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., have reserves which by their nature are considered distributable, amounted around Euro 147 million.

v) Own shares

w) Foreign currency

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were translated into euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date.

Favourable and unfavourable foreign exchange differences resulting from changes in the rates in force at transaction date and those in force at the date of collection, payment or at the balance sheet date are recorded as income and expenses in the consolidated profit and loss statement of the year, in financial results.

Entities operating abroad with organisational, economic and financial autonomy are treated as foreign entities.

Assets and liabilities of the financial statements of foreign entities are translated into euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet date, while expenses and income in such financial statements are translated into euro using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting exchange

Goodwill and adjustments to fair value generated in the acquisitions of foreign entities reporting in a functional currency other than euro are translated into euro using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

The following rates were used to translate into euro the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and the balances in foreign currency:

x) Assets impairment

Impairment tests are performed at the date of each balance sheet and whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the book value of an asset is greater than the amount recoverable, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the profit and loss statement cap other assets. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and the value in use. Net selling price is the amount obtainable upon the sale of an asset in a transaction within the capability of the parties involved, less the costs directly related to the sale. The value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and of its sale at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if this is not possible, for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

Evidence of the existence of impairment in accounts receivables appears when:

  • The counterparty presents significant financial difficulties;
  • There are significant delays in interest payments and in other leading payments from the counterparty;
  • It is probable that the debtor goes into liquidation or into a financial restructuring.

For certain categories of financial assets for which it is not possible to determine the impairment for each asset

individually, the analysis is made for a group of assets. Evidence of an impairment loss in a portfolio of accounts receivable may include past experience in terms of collections, increasing number of delays in collections, as well as changes in national or local economic conditions that are related with the collections capacity.

For Goodwill and Financial investments, the recoverable amount, calculated in terms of value in use, is determined based on the most recent business plans duly approved by the Group uses historical and statistical information to estimate the amounts in impairment. For Inventories, the impairment is calculated based on market evidence and several indicators of stock rotation.

y) Medium Term Incentive Plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 -

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, under rged as an expense statement.

The quantification of this responsibility is based on fair value and is recognised over the vesting period of each plan (from the award date of the plan until its vesting or settlement date). The total responsibility, at any point of time, is calculated based on the proportion of the vesting period that has

When the responsibilities associated with any plan are covered by a hedging contract, ie, when those responsibilities are replaced by a fixed amount payable to a third party and when Sonaecom is no longer the party that will deliver the Sonaecom shares, at the settlement date of each plan, the above accounting treatment is subject to the following changes:

  • (i) The total gross fixed amount payable to third parties is -current
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the -
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate

(iv) continues to be charged as an expense under the caption

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded cost relating to the vesting period that h respective accounting date. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

When the liability is covered by a hedging contract, recognition is made in the same way as described above, but with the liability being quantified based on the contractually fixed amount.

Equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is -current The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

At 30 June 2012, two plans of Sonaecom share plans were covered through the detention of own shares. For 2011 plan, the Company will enter in hedging contract with an external entity in order to fix the associated to the Medium Term Incentive Plans are registered, non-

Regarding the plans liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company, the company entered, for two equitysettled plans, into hedging contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed. Therefore, the responsibility associated to the uncovered plan is recorded at the fair price of the stocks and the covered plans are recorded based on that fixed price, proportionally to the period of time elapsed since the award date until the date of statemen

z) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the date of the balance sheet which provide additional information about conditions prevailing at the time of the balance sheet (adjusting events) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events occurring

after the balance sheet date that provide information on postbalance sheet conditions (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

aa) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the periods ended at 30 June 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

  • (i) Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets;
  • (ii) Impairment analysis of goodwill and of other tangible and intangible assets;
  • (iii) Recognition of impairment losses on assets (Trade debtors and Inventories) and provisions;
  • (iv) Assessment of the responsibilities associated with the

Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and are based on the best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are neither foreseeable nor controlled by the Group, some could occur and have impact on such estimates. Changes to the estimates used by the management that occur after the approval date of these consolidated financial statements, will be recognised in net income, in accordance with IAS 8 Cha prospective methodology.

The main estimates and assumptions in relation to future events included in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the corresponding notes.

ab) Financial risk management

Due to its activities, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

These risks arise from the unpredictability of financial markets, which affect the capacity of project cash flows and profits. The Group financial risk management, subject to a long-term ongoing perspective, seeks to minimise potential adverse effects that derive from that uncertainty, using, whenever it is possible and advisable, derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to such risks (note 1.o)).

Market risk

a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally, having subsidiaries that operate in countries with a different currency than Euro namely Brazil, United Kingdom, Poland, United States of America, Mexico, Australia, Egypt, Chile, Panama, Singapore

and Malaysia (branch) and so it is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk.

Foreign exchange risk management seeks to minimise the volatility of investments and transactions made in foreign currencies and contributes to reduce the sensitivity of Group results to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Whenever possible, the Group uses natural hedges to manage exposure, by offsetting credits granted and credits received expressed in the same currency. When such a procedure is not possible, the Group adopts derivative financial hedging instruments (note 1.o)).

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, results essentially from the fact that some of its subsidiaries report in a currency different from euro, making the risk of operational activity immaterial.

b) Interest rate risk

the total cost of debt to a high risk of volatility. The impact of this volatility on the G funds is mitigated by the effect of the following factors (i) relatively low level of financial leverage; (ii) possibility to use derivative financial instruments that hedge the interest rate risk, as mentioned below; (iii) possible correlation between the level of market interest rates and economic growth having the consolidated results (particularly operational), and in this way partially offsetting the increase of liquidity which is also bearing interest at a variable rate.

The Group only uses derivatives or similar transactions to hedge interest rate risks considered significant. Three main principles are followed in all instruments selected and used to hedge interest rate risk:

  • For each derivative or instrument used to hedge a specific loan, the interest payment dates on the loans subject to hedging must equalise the settlement dates defined under the hedging instrument;
  • Perfect match between the base rates: the base rate used in the derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that of the facility/transaction which is being hedged;
  • As from the start of the transaction, the maximum cost of the debt, resulting from the hedging operation is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in market interest rates, so that the resulting rates are within the cost s plan.

As al ) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used, when it is deemed necessary, to hedge future changes in cash flow relating to interest payments. Interest rate swaps have the financial effect of converting the respective borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with third parties (banks) to exchange, in predetermined periods, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed contract rate and the floating rate at the time of re-fixing, by reference to the respective agreed notional amounts.

The counterparties of the derivative hedging instruments are limited to highly rated financial institutions, being the Grou policy, when contracting such instruments, to give preference to financial institutions that form part of its financing transactions. In order to select the counterparty for occasional operations, Sonaecom requests proposals and indicative prices from a representative number of banks in order to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.

In determining the fair value of hedging operations, the Group uses certain methods, such as option valuation and discounted future cash flow models, using assumptions based on market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

Comparative financial institution quotes for the specific or similar instruments are used as a benchmark for the valuation.

The fair value of the derivatives contracted, that are considered as fair value hedges or the ones that are considered not sufficiently effective for cash flow hedge (in accordance with the provisions established in IAS 39), are recognised under borrowings captions and changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognised directly in the profit and loss statement for the year. The fair value of derivatives of cash flow hedge, that are considered effective according to IAS 39, are recognised under borrowing captions and changes in the fair value are recognised in equity.

conditions of the financing with significant impact in the Group, based on the analysis of the debt structure, the risks and the different options in the market, particularly as to the type of interest rate (fixed / variable). Under the policy defined above, the Executive Committee is responsible for the decision on the occasional interest rate hedging contracts, through the monitoring of the conditions and alternatives existing in the market.

Liquidity risk

The existence of liquidity in the Group requires the definition of some policies for an efficient and secure management of the liquidity, allowing us to maximise the profitability and to minimise the opportunity costs related to that liquidity. The liquidity risk management has a threefold objective: (i) Liquidity, ie, to ensure the permanent access in the most

efficient way to obtain sufficient funds to settle current payments within the respective dates of maturity as well as any eventual not forecasted requests for funds, within the deadlines set for this; (ii) Safety, ie to minimise the probability of default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial Efficiency, ie, to ensure that the Group maximises the value / minimises the opportunity cost of holding excess liquidity in the short term.

The main underlying policies correspond to the variety of instruments allowed, the maximum acceptable level of risk, the maximum amount of exposure by counterparty and the maximum periods for investments.

The existing liquidity in the Group should be applied to the alternatives and by the order described below:

  • (i) Amortisation of short-term debt after comparing the opportunity cost of amortisation and the opportunity cost related to alternative investments;
  • (ii) Consolidated management of liquidity the existing liquidity in Group companies, should mainly be applied in Group companies, to reduce the use of bank debt at a consolidated level;
  • (iii) Applications in the market.

The applications in the market are limited to eligible counterparties, with ratings previously established by the Board and limited to certain maximum amounts by counterparty.

The definition of maximum amounts intends to ensure that the application of liquidity in excess is made in a prudent way and taking into consideration the best practices in terms of bank relationships.

The maturity of applications should equal the forecasted payments (or the applications should be easily convertible, in the case of asset investments, to allow urgent and not estimated payments), considering a threshold for eventual deviations on the estimates. The threshold depends on the accuracy level of treasury estimates and would be determined by the business. The accuracy of the estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity analysis for the loans obtained is presented in note 15.

Credit risk

sociated with the accounts receivable related to current operational

activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Group, in respect to telecommunications operators, only negotiates with entities with high credit quality.

The management of this risk seeks to guarantee that the amounts owing are effectively collected within the periods negotiated without affecting the financial health of the Group. The Group uses credit rating agencies and has specific departments responsible for risk control, collections and management of processes in litigation, as well as credit insurances, which all contribute to the mitigation of credit risk. The amounts included in the financial statements related to trade debtors and other debtors, net of impairment losses, represent the maximum exposure of the Group to credit risk.

Following the acquisition of Connectiv Solutions, the company has made a preliminary assessment of the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, so the allocation of the purchase price is still subject to change until completion of the period of one year from the date of the acquisition (in accordance with IFRS 3, business combinations).

Nevertheless, the company does not expect significant changes in its financial position as a result from any changes to allocation made.

The acquisition price includes a deferred amount (USD 2 million) to be paid in 2013 and 2014 and a contingent amount to be paid annually, during 4 years, depending on revenues of the company.

As usual on mergers and acquisitions, also in the acquisition of Connectiv, there was a part of the acquisition price which was not possible to be allocated to the fair value of some identified assets and liabilities,that was considered as Goodwill. This Goodwill is related to a number of different elements, which cannot be individually quantified and isolated in a viable way and include, for example, synergies, qualified workforce, technical skills and market power. The total amount of this Goodwill will be considered as fiscal cost in Connectiv accounts, for a period of 15 years.

The contribution of Connectiv to the consolidated net income attributed d at 30 June 2012, was positive of Euro 288 thousand.

The detail of the referred contribution is as follows:

11. Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets at 30 June 2012 and 2011, amounted to Euro 95,931,140 and Euro 103,470,392, respectively, and arose, mainly, from tax losses carried forward, temporary differences and from differences between the accounting and tax amount of some fixed assets.

The movements in deferred tax assets in the periods ended at 30 June 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

2012 2011
Opening balance 103,853,881 109,587,224

Others 14,761 (3,153)
Closing balance 95,931,140 103,470,392

At 31 December 2008, deferred tax assets were recognised in the amount of Euro 16.1 million with regard to the securitisation of future receivables completed in December 2008 (note 18). As a result of that operation, and in accordance with the provisions of Decreto-Lei nº 219/2001 (Decree-Law) of 4 August, an amount of Euro 100 million was generated from that operation and it was added for purposes of determining the taxable income for the year 2008, thereby generating a temporary difference between accounting and taxable income result, which led to the recognition of a deferred tax asset to the extent that its use was, with reasonable safety, probable. Until 30 June 2012, an amount of Euro 11.3 million was reversed corresponding to the reversal of the above referred temporary difference.

Deferred taxes related to the IAS / IFRS adjustments correspond to the temporary differences generated in the companies included in consolidation and result from the fact that IAS / IFRS conversion adjustments, recorded in these companies at 31 December 2009, already considered in consolidated financial statements under IAS / IFRS, from previous years, only be considered for tax purposes, linearly, for a period of five years between 2010 and 2014.

Deferred taxes related to the UMTS license refers to temporary differences related to the value of the UMTS license, of the subsidiary Optimus. In consolidated financial statements and in accordance with IAS / IFRS, the license was amortised linearly, by the estimated period of useful life. For tax purposes, until the year 2009, the UMTS license was amortised using, on the first five years of commercial operation, from 2004 to 2008, incremental monthly basis depending of the capacity of the network installed, which would be applied after the straight-line monthly basis until the term of the license. Thus, the group recorded deferred tax assets relating to the temporary differences between the value of the license for tax purposes and the value recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

At 30 June 2012 and 2011, assessments of the deferred tax assets to be recognised were made. Potential deferred tax assets were recorded to the extent that future taxable profits were expected to be generated against which the tax losses and deductible tax differences could be used. These assessments were made based on the most recent business plans duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Group companies, which are periodically reviewed and updated. The main criteria used in those business plans are described in note 9.

The rate used at 30 June 2012 and 2011, in Portuguese companies, to calculate the deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward was 25%. The rate used to calculate the temporary differences, including provisions not accepted and impairment losses, was 26.5%. Tax benefits, related to deductions from taxable income, are considered at 100%, and in some cases, their full acceptance is dependent on the approval of the authorities that concede such tax benefits. understood to be unlikely the taxation of temporary differences during the estimated period when the referred rate will be applicable. For foreign companies was used the rate in force in each country.

In accordance with the tax returns and other information prepared by the companies that have registered deferred tax assets, the detail of such deferred tax assets, by nature, at 30 June 2012 was as follows:

Portuguese Tax Authorities can review the income tax returns of the Company and of its subsidiaries with head office in Portugal for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been generated, tax benefits have been granted or when any review, claim or impugnation is in course, in which circumstances, the periods are extended or suspended. Consequently, tax returns of each year, since the year 2008 (inclusive) are still subject to such review. The Board of Directors believes that any correction that may arise as a result of such review would not have a significant impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended at 31 December 2010, the subsidiary Optimus was notified of the Report of Tax Inspection, where it considers that it is inappropriate the increase, when calculating the taxable profit for the year 2008, of the amount of Euro 100 million, with respect to initial price of future credits transferred to securitization. The Settlement Note, was receipt on April 2011, and Optimus will challenge that decision and is confidence of the Board of Directors of the Optimus and the Group that there are strong arguments to obtain a favorable decision for Optimus. For this reason, Optimus kept the recording of deferred tax assets associated with this operation.

According to the original terms, this programme was reduced to the amount of Euro 150 million in July 2010.

Amount Hire date Subscription guarantee Maturity
Euro 30 million May 2012 Caixa Geral de Depósitos 31-Jul-15
Euro 15 million June 2010 Caixa Económica Montepio Geral one year, possibly renewable
Euro 10 million* November 2010 Banco Popular one year, possibly renewable

*It can also be used as bank overdraft.

All the loans above are unsecured and the fulfilment of the obligations under these loans is exclusively guaranteed by the underlying activities and the indebted company cash flows generation capacity.

On 30 June 2012, the main financial constraints (covenants) included in debt contracts are related with the bond issue completed by Sonaecom during September 2011, totalling Euro 100 million and establishing: (i) the requirement for Sonaecom, Optimus, Artis and Sonae Telecom, as well as the group companies whose both assets and EBITDA are equal or greater than 15% of the consolidated assets and the consolidated EBITDA (material subsidiaries) represent, as a whole, at least 80% of Sonaecom consolidated assets and consolidated EBITDA, and: (ii) the obligation to ensure that consolidated net debt does not exceed three times the consolidated EBITDA. Additionally, both this loan, as well as other loans are covered by Sonaecom negative pledge clauses, which impose certain over Optimus and Wedo USA (regarding this company bank loan). The penalties applicable in the event of default in these covenants are generally the early payment of the loans obtained.

On 30 June 2012, Sonaecom was fully compliant with all the financial constraints above mentioned.

The Group has considered the most penalising tariffs in their consolidated financial l, for final and permanent decision, , thus concluding that the interconnection prices for 2001 were not defined. The settlement of outstanding amounts will depend on the price that will be established.

Following a deliberation of Board of Directors of ICP on 26 October 2005, concerning termination rates for fixed calls. The Boards of Directors of Optimus and Sonaecom understand that Optimus has always complied with that resolution. Given this, Optimus contested in court the application of that fine and is expecting that the appeal will be upheld.

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 July 2012, being its conviction that these will be approved at Shareholders General Meeting without any changes.

These financial statements are a translation of financial statements originally issued in Portuguese in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS / IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and the format and disclosures required by those Standards, some of which may not conform to or be required by generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. In the event of discrepancies, the Portuguese language version prevails.

The financial statements are presented in euro, rounded at unit.

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared records in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and considering the IAS 34 .

The adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union occurred for the first time in 2007 and as defined by IFRS 1 January 2006 was the date of transition from generally accepted accounting principles in Portugal to those standards.

For Sonaecom, there are no differences between IFRS as adopted by European Union and IFRS published by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Until the date of approval of these financial statements there are no standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions approved (endorsed) by the European Union and that have mandatory application to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2012 and were first adopted in the period ended at 30 June 2012.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been at the date of approval of these financial statements, approved (endorsed) by the European Union, whose application is mandatory only in future financial years:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual periods beginning on or

IAS 1 - Amendments (Presentation of Items of

Other Comprehensive Income)

The amendments to IAS 1 require companies preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs to group together items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement.

IAS 19 - Amendments (Employee Benefits) 1-Jan-13

1-Jul-12

The amendments make important improvements by eliminating an option to defer the recognition of gains and losses, known as the presentation, streamlining the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans and enhancing the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans.

These standards, although approved (endorsed) by the European Union, were not adopted by the Company for the period ended at 30 June 2012, as the application of these standards is not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected to arise in the financial statements resulting from their adoption.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not yet been approved (endorsed) by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on or
after)
IFRS 1 - Amendments (Severe 1-Jul-11
Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates
for First-Time Adopters)

The amendments referred to the Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-Time Adopters: 1) replace the fixed dates in the derecognition exception and the exemption related to the initial fair value measurement of financial instruments; and 2) add a deemed cost exemption to IFRS 1 that an entity can apply at the date of transaction to IFRSs after being subject to severe hyperinflation.

IFRS 7 Amendments (Offsetting Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities:
Disclosures)
The amendment requires disclosures to improve the understanding of
transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitisations),
1-Jan-13
including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may
remain after the transfer. It also requires additional disclosures if a
disproportionate amount of transfer transactions are undertaken
around the end of a reporting period.
IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments and
subsquent amendments)
1-Jan-15
This standard is the first step in the project to replace IAS 39, and it
introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial
assets.
IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial
Statements)
1-Jan-13
Builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the
determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the
consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard
provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control
where this is difficult to assess.
IFRS 11 (Joint Arrangements) 1-Jan-13
Provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing
on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal
form (as is currently the case). The standard addresses inconsistencies
in the reporting of joint arrangements by requiring a single method to
account for interests in jointly controlled entities.
IFRS 12 (Disclosures of Interests in Other
Entities)
1-Jan-13
New and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all
forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements,
associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet

IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) 1-Jan-13
It will improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing, for the
first time, a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs.
Improvements to IFRS (2009-2011) 1-Jan-13
The IASB finalise its annual improvements publication corresponding to
the 2009-2011 cycle including six amendments to five IFRSs. The
annual improvements process provides a mechanism for non urgent
but necessary amendments to International Financial Reporting

Standards (IFRSs) to be grouped together and issued in one package.

Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 1-Jan-13
10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12)
The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements and also provide additional transition
relief in IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests
in Other Entities, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted
comparative information to only the preceding comparative period.
Furthermore, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured
entities, the amendments will remove the requirement to present
comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied.
IAS 12 - Amendments (Deferred tax: 1-Jan-12
Recovery of Underlying Assets)
The amendment introduces, in the case of investment properties
measured using the fair value model, the presumption that recovery of
the carrying amount will normally be through sale, in order to determine
their tax impact. As a result of the amendments, SIC 21 - 'Income
apply to investment properties carried at fair value. The amendments
also incorporate into IAS 12 the remaining guidance previously
contained in SIC-21, which is accordingly withdrawn.
IAS 27 (Separate Financial Statements) 1-Jan-13
Consolidation requirements previously forming part of IAS 27 have
been revised and are now contained in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements´.
IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint
Ventures)

accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.
IAS 32 - Amendments (Offsetting Financial 1-Jan-14
Assets and Financial Liabilities)
IAS 32 is amended to refer to the IFRS 7 disclosure requirements in
respect of offsetting arrangements.
IFRIC 20 Interpretation (Stripping Costs in 1-Jan-13
the Production Phase of a Surface Mine)
The Interpretation clarifies when production stripping should lead to the
recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both
initially and in subsequent periods.

The application of these standards and interpretations, as applicable to the Company will have no material effect on future financial statements of the Company.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Company at 30 June 2012 are comparable with those used in the preparation of the individual financial statements at 31 December 2011.

Main accounting policies

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

a) Tangible assets

Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis as from the date the assets are available for use in the necessary conditions to operate as intended by the management, by a corresponding charge to the profit and loss

Impairment losses detected in the realisation value of tangible assets are recorded in the year in which they arise, by a

The annual depreciation rates used correspond to the estimated useful life of the assets, which are as follows:

Years of useful
life
buildings owned by third parties 10-20
Plant and machinery 5-8
Fixtures and fittings 3-8
Other tangible assets 3

Current maintenance and repair costs of tangible assets are recorded as costs in the year in which they occur. Improvements of significant amount, which increase the estimated useful life of the assets, are capitalised and depreciated in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

b) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and less estimated accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised, if it is likely that they will bring future economic benefits to the Company, if the Company controls them and if their cost can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets correspond, essentially, to software and industrial property.

Amortisations are calculated on a straight-line monthly basis, over the estimated useful life of the assets (three years) as from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss

c) Investments in Group companies and other non-current assets

Investments in companies in which the Company has direct or excess of 50% or in which it has control over the financial and operating policies are recorded under the caption accordance with IAS 27, as Sonaecom presents, separately, consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS.

Loans and supplementary capital granted to affiliated companies with maturities, estimated or defined contractually, greater than one year, are recorded, at their nominal value, -

Investments and loans granted to Group companies are evaluated whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount may not be recoverable or impairment losses recorded in previous years no longer exist.

Impairment losses estimated for investments and loans granted to Group companies are recorded, in the year that

The expenses incurred with the acquisition of investments in Group companies are recorded as cost when they are incurred.

d) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the -to-maturity -for-sale financ classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

The classification of the investments is determined at the initial recognition and re-evaluated every quarter.

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if the adoption of this method allows reducing or eliminating an accounting mismatch. Derivatives are also registered as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments that are not quoted in an active

market. These financial investments arise when the Company provides money or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, deducted from any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables are recorded as current assets, except when its maturity is greater than 12 months from the balance sheet date, a situation in which they are classified as noncurrent assets. Loans and receivables are included under the

-to-

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or variable payments and with fixed agement has the positive intention and ability to hold until their maturity.

-for-

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative investments that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other above referred categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose them within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on tradedate the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried value through profit or loss and the transaction costs are recorded in the income statement. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or transferred, and consequently all substantial risks and rewards of their ownership have been transferred.

Available-forvalue.

-to-maturity investment are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets classified at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the income statement. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the profit and loss statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Company establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer these valuation techniques can be used, the Company values these investments at acquisition cost net of any identified impairment losses. The fair value of listed investments is determined based on the closing Euronext share price at the balance sheet date.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant decline (above 25%) or prolonged decline (during two consecutive quarters) in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment losses on that financial asset previously recognised in the profit or loss statement is removed from equity and recognised in the profit and loss statement. Impairment losses recognised in the profit and loss statement on equity securities are not reversed through the profit and loss statement.

e) Financial and operational leases

Lease contracts are classified as financial leases, if, in substance, all risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased asset are transferred by the lease contract or as operational leases, if, in substance, there is no transfer of risks and rewards associated with the detention of the leased assets.

The lease contracts are classified as financial or operational in accordance with the substance and not with the form of the respective contracts.

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

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

f) Other current debtors

Other current debtors are recorded at their net realisable value, and do not include interest, because the financial updated effect is not significant.

These financial investments arise when the Company provides money or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable.

The amount relating to this caption is presented net of any impairment losses, which are recorded in the profit and loss the profit and loss statement under the captio

g) Cash and cash equivalents

bank deposits and other treasury applications where the risk of any change in value is insignificant.

The cash flow statement has been prepared in accordance with IAS 7 months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in - The cash flow statement is classified by operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include collections from customers, payments to suppliers, payments to personnel and other captions relating to operating activities.

Cash flows from investing activities include the acquisition and sale of investments in associated and subsidiary companies and receipts and payments resulting from the purchase and sale of fixed assets.

Cash flows from financing activities include payments and receipts relating to loans obtained and finance lease contracts.

All amounts included under this caption are likely to be realised in the short term and there are no amounts given or pledged as guarantee.

h) Loans

y expenses incurred in setting up loans are recorded as a deduction to the nominal debt and recognised during the period of the financing, based on the effective interest rate method. The interests incurred but not yet due are added to the loans caption until their payment.

i) Financial expenses relating to loans obtained Financial expenses relating to loans obtained are generally recognised as expenses at the time they are incurred. Financial expenses related to loans obtained for the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. These expenses are capitalised starting from the time of preparation for the construction or development of the asset and are interrupted when the assets are ready to operate, at the end of the production or construction phases or when the associated project is suspended.

j) Derivatives

The Company only uses derivatives in the management of its financial risks to hedge against such risks. The Company does not use derivatives for trading purposes.

The cash flow hedges used by the Company are related to:

(i) Interest rate swaps operations to hedge against interest rate risks on loans obtained. The amounts, interest payment dates and repayment dates of the underlying interest rate swaps are similar in all respects to the conditions established for the contracted loans. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in assets or liabilities, against a Sh

(ii) The values and times periods involved are identical to the amounts invoiced and their maturities.

In cases where the hedge instrument is not effective, the amounts that arise from the adjustments to fair value are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement.

At 30 June 2012, the Company did not have any derivative, beyond those mentioned in note 1.s).

k) Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the Company has a present obligation (either legal or implicit) resulting from a past event, the resolution of which is likely to involve the disbursement of funds by an amount that can be reasonably estimated.

Provisions are reviewed at the balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date.

Provisions for restructurings are only registered if the Company has a detailed plan and if that plan has already been communicated to the parties involved.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes, except if the possibility of a cash outflow affecting future economic benefits is remote.

Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes when future economic benefits are likely to occur.

l) Income Tax

payable and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in accordance with IAS 12

Sonaecom has adopted, since 1 January 2008, the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, under which, the provision for income tax is determined on the basis of the estimated taxable income of all the companies covered by that regime, in accordance with such rules. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all subsidiaries on which the group holds at least 90% of their share capital, with its headquarters located in Portugal and subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC).

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method and reflect the timing differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the respective amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits shall arise in the future to allow such deferred tax assets to be used. At the end of each year, the recorded and unrecorded deferred tax assets are revised and they are reduced whenever their realisation ceases to be probable, or increased if future taxable profits are likely enabling the recovery of such assets (note 7).

Deferred taxes are calculated with the tax rate that is expected to be in effect at the time the asset or liability is realised.

Whenever deferred taxes derive from assets or liabilities situations, deferred taxes are always registered in the profit and loss statement.

m) Accrual basis and revenue recognition Expenses and income are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. Estimated amounts are used when actual amounts are not known.

  • her current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but which relate to future periods. The latter shall be included by the corresponding amount in the results of the periods to which they relate to.

The costs attributable to current year and whose expenses will only occur in future years are estimated and recorded under -current it is possible to estimate reliably the amount and the timing of occurrence of the expense. If there is uncertainty regarding both the date of disbursement of funds, and the amount of the obligation, the value is classified as Provisions (note 1.k)).

Non-current financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and, in each period, the financial actualisation of the fair value is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the

receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

n) Balance sheet classification

Assets and liabilities due in more than one year from the date of the balance sheet are classified, respectively, as noncurrent assets and non-current liabilities.

In addition, considering their nature, the deferred taxes and the provisions for other liabilities and charges, are classified as non-current assets and liabilities (notes 7 and 13).

o) Reserves

Legal reserve

Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5% of the annual net profit must be appropriated to a legal reserve, until such reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable, except in case of liquidation of the Company, but may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase the share capital.

Share premiums

The share premiums relate to premiums generated in the issuance of capital or in capital increases. According to Portuguese law, share premiums follow the same ie, they are not distributable, except in case of liquidation, but they can be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted or to increase share capital.

Medium-term incentive plans reserves

According to IFRS 2 responsibility related with the equity settled plans is registered, as a credit, under the caption of Medium Term Incentive Plan Reserves, which are not distributable and which can not be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

hedges derivatives that are considered effective (note 1.j)) and it is non distributable nor can it be used to absorb losses.

Own shares reserve

The own shares reserve reflects the acquisition value of the own shares and follows the same requirements of legal reserves.

Under Portuguese law, the amount of distributable reserves is determined in accordance with the individual financial statements of the Company, presented in accordance with IAS / IFRS.

Therefore, at 30 June 2012, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., have reserves which by their nature could be considered distributable, in the amount of around Euro 147 million.

p) Own shares

funds. Gains or losses related to the sale of own shares are recorded under the cap

q) Foreign currency

All assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency were translated into euro using the exchange rates in force at the balance sheet.

Favourable and unfavourable foreign exchange differences resulting from changes in the rates in force at transaction date and those in force at the date of collection, payment or at the balance sheet date are recorded as income and expenses in the profit and loss statement of the period, in financial results.

The following rates were used for the translation into euro:

2012 2011
30 June Average 30 June Average
Pounds Sterling 1.23946 1.21623 1.10797 1.15234
Swiss franc 0.83126 0.83003 0.82843 0.78834
Swedish krona 0.11399 0.11259 0.10900 0.11189
American Dollar 0.79428 0.77154 0.69190 0.71337

r) Assets impairment

Impairment tests are performed at the date of each balance sheet and whenever an event or change of circumstances indicates that the recorded amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Whenever the book value of an asset is greater than the amount recoverable, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the profit and loss statement under the caption impairment losses amount recoverable is the greater of the net selling price and the value of use. Net selling price is the amount obtained upon the sale of an asset in a transaction within the capability of the parties involved, less the costs directly related to the sale. The value of use is the present amount of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the continued use of the asset and of its sale at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each asset individually or, if this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

For financial investments, the recoverable amount, calculated in terms of value in use, is determined based on last business plans duly approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Evidence of the existence of impairment in accounts receivables appears when:

  • the counterparty presents significant financial difficulties;
  • there are significant delays in interest payments and in other leading payments from the counterparty;
  • it is possible that the debtor goes into liquidation or into a financial restructuring.

s) Medium-term incentive plans

The accounting treatment of Medium Term Incentive Plans is based on IFRS 2 - .

Under IFRS 2, when the settlement of plans established by the estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, within the cap loss statement.

The quantification of this responsibility is based on its fair value at the attribution date and is recognised over the vesting period of each plan (from the award date of the plan until its vesting or settlement date). The total responsibility, at any point in time, is calculated based on the proportion of accounting date.

When the responsibilities associated with any plan are covered by a hedging contract, ie, when those responsibilities are replaced by a fixed amount payable to a third party and when Sonaecom is no longer the party that will deliver the Sonaecom shares, at the settlement date of each plan, the above accounting treatment is subject to the following changes:

  • (i) The total gross fixed amount payable to third parties is -current ;
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the current assets ;
  • (iii) The net effect of the entries in (i) and (ii) above eliminate ;
  • (iv) continues to be charged as an expense under the caption .

For plans settled in cash, the estimated liability is recorded respective accounting date. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

When the liability is covered by a hedging contract, recognition is made in the same way as described above, but with the liability being quantified based on the contractually fixed amount.

Equity-settled plans to be liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is -current the cost relating to the deferred period elapsed. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

At 30 June 2012, two plans of Sonaecom share plans were covered through the detention of own shares. For 2011 plan, the Company will enter in hedging contract with an external entity in order to fix the acquisition price. The impacts associated to the Medium Term Incentive Plans are registered, Incentive Pla for 2009 and 2010 plan non- for 2011 plan. The cost is recognized

Regarding the plans liquidated through the delivery of shares of the parent company, the company entered, for two equitysettled plans, into hedging contracts with an external entity under which the acquisition price of those shares was fixed. Therefore, the responsibility associated to the uncovered plan is recorded at the fair price of the stocks and the covered plans are recorded based on that fixed price, proportionally to the

t) Subsequent events

Events occurring after the date of the balance sheet which provide additional information about conditions prevailing at the time of the balance sheet (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide information on post-balance sheet conditions (non-adjusting events), when material, are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

u) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements of the periods ended at 30 June 2012 and 2011 include mainly impairment analysis of assets, particularly financial investments in Group companies. Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of financial statements and are based on the best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are not controlled by the Company neither foreseeable, some could occur and have impact on the estimates. Changes to the estimates used by the management that occur after the approval date of these financial statements, will be recognised in net income, in accordance with IAS 8 Changes in Acco prospective methodology.

The main estimates and assumptions in relation to future events included in the preparation of financial statements are disclosed in the respective notes.

v) Financial risk management

The Com risks such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

These risks arise from the unpredictability of financial markets, which affect the capacity to project cash flows and financial risk management, subject to a long-term ongoing perspective, seeks to minimise potential adverse effects that derive from that uncertainty, using, every time it is possible and advisable, derivative financial instruments to hedge the exposure to such risks (note 1. j)).

Market risk

a) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk management seeks to minimise the volatility of investments and transactions made in foreign currency and contributes to reduce the sensitivity of results to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Whenever possible, the Company uses natural hedges to manage exposure, by offsetting credits granted and credits received expressed in the same currency. When such procedure is not possible, the Company adopts derivative financial hedging instruments (note 1. j)).

Considering the reduced values of assets and liabilities in foreign currency, the impact of a change in exchange rate will not have significant impacts on the financial statements.

b) Interest rate risk

t is indexed to variable rates, exposing the total cost of debt to a high risk of volatility. The impact of this volatility in the Company results or in its Shareholders´ funds is mitigated by the effect of the following factors: (i) relatively low level of financial leverage; (ii) possibility to use derivative instruments that hedge the interest rate risk, as mentioned below; (iii) possible correlation between the level of market interest rates and economic growth the latter having a positive effect in oth this way partially offsetting the increase of financial costs stand alone or consolidated liquidity which is also bearing interest at a variable rate.

The Company only uses derivatives or similar transactions to hedge interest rate risks considered significant. Three main principles are followed in all instruments selected and used to hedge interest rate risk:

  • For each derivative or instrument used to hedge a specific loan, the interest payment dates on the loans subject to hedging must equalise the settlement dates defined under the hedging instrument;
  • Perfect match between the base rates: the base rate used in the derivative or hedging instrument should be the same as that of the facility / transaction which is being hedged;
  • As from the start of the transaction, the maximum cost of the debt, resulting from the hedging operation is known and limited, even in scenarios of extreme changes in market interest rates, so that the resulting rates are within the cost .

2) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used to hedge future changes in cash flow relating to interest payments. Interest rate swaps have the financial effect of converting the respective borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with third parties (banks) to exchange, in pre-determined periods, the difference between the amount of interest calculated at the fixed contract rate and the floating rate at the time of re-fixing, by reference to the respective agreed notional amounts. The counterparties of the derivative hedging instruments are limited to highly rated financial institutions, being the preference to financial institutions that form part of its financing transactions.

In order to select the counterparty for occasional operations, Sonaecom requests proposals and indicative prices from a representative number of banks in order to ensure adequate competitiveness of these operations.

In determining the fair value of hedging operations, the Company uses certain methods, such as option valuation and discounted future cash flow models, using assumptions based on market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Comparative financial institution quotes for the specific or similar instruments are used as a benchmark for the valuation.

The fair value of the derivatives contracted, that are considered as fair value hedges or the ones that are considered not sufficiently effective for cash flow hedge (in accordance with the provisions established in IAS 39 captions and changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognised directly in the profit and loss statement for the period. The fair value of derivatives of cash flow hedge, that are considered effective according to IAS 39 changes in the fair value are recognised in equity.

conditions of the financing with significant impact in the Company, based on the analysis of the debt structure, the risks and the different options in the market, particularly as to the type of interest rate (fixed / variable). Under the policy defined above, the Executive Committee is responsible for the decision on the occasional interest rate hedging contracts, through the monitoring of the conditions and alternatives existing in the market.

Liquidity risk

The existence of liquidity in the Company requires the definition of some policies for an efficient and secure management of the liquidity, allowing us to maximise the profitability and to minimise the opportunity costs related with that liquidity.

The liquidity risk management has a threefold objective: (i) Liquidity, ie, to ensure the permanent access in the most efficient way to obtain sufficient funds to settle current payments in the respective dates of maturity as well as any eventual not forecasted requests for funds, in the deadlines set for this; (ii) Safety, ie, to minimise the probability of default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial efficiency, ie, to ensure that the Company maximises the value / minimise the opportunity cost of holding excess liquidity in the short term.

The main underlying policies correspond to the variety of instruments allowed, the maximum acceptable level of risk, the maximum amount of exposure by counterparty and the maximum periods for investments.

The existing liquidity in the Company should be applied to the alternatives and by the order described below:

  • (i) Amortisation of short-term debt after comparing the opportunity cost of amortisation and the opportunity cost related to alternative investments;
  • (ii) Consolidated management of liquidity the existing liquidity in Group companies, should mainly be applied in Group companies, to reduce the use of bank debt at a consolidated level;
  • (iii) Applications in the market.

The applications in the market are limited to eligible counterparties, with ratings previously established by the Board and limited to certain maximum amounts by counterparty.

The definition of maximum amounts intends to assure that the application of liquidity in excess is made in a prudent way and taking into consideration the best practices in terms of bank relationships.

The maturity of applications should equalise the forecasted payments (or the applications should be easily convertible, in case of asset investments, to allow urgent and not estimated payments), considering a threshold for eventual deviations on the estimates. The threshold depends on the accuracy level of treasury estimates and would be determined by the business. The accuracy of the estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity analysis for each of the liabilities associated to financial instruments is presented in the note 12.

Credit risk

with the accounts receivable related to current operational activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Company only negotiates with entities with high credit quality.

The management of this risk seeks to guarantee that the amounts owing are effectively collected within the periods negotiated without affecting the financial health of the Company.

The amounts included in the financial statements related to other current debtors, net of impairment losses, represent the maximum exposure of the Company to credit risk.
