On 30 June 2016 tive Board of Directors was composed by three directors (the same of last year).

Service revenues

This line totalled 0.2 million euros, in line with 1H15, and it essentially comprises management services provided to its subsidiaries.

Total operational costs

Total operating costs exclude depreciation, amortisation charges and provisions. This line amounted to 0.7 million euros, which compares with 1.0 million euros in 1H15.

EBITDA

EBITDA was negative 0.5 million euros (negative 0.7 million euros in 1H15) and the improvement versus last year was mainly driven by the lower level of operating costs.

Dividends received

During 1H16, Sonaecom received dividends of 9.8 million euros from NOS (1.8 million euros) and ZOPT (8.0 million euros). In 1H15, Sonaecom received 8.9 million euros from NOS (1.5 million euros) and ZOPT (7.3 million euros).

Net financial activity

The net financial activity (interest income less interest expenses) was positive by 1.2 million euros, which compares with 0.9 million euros in 1H15.

The negative 15.7 million of market value adjustments related to the 2.14% direct stake on NOS (shares recorded at fair value through profit and loss), until its sale, and the 3.3 million of impairments recorded in the financial investments, explain the negative performance. In 1H15, the market value adjustments were responsible for a positive 21.3 million euros.

The consolidated financial statements are also presented in euro, rounded at unit, and the transactions in foreign currencies are included in accordance with the accounting policies detailed below.

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements relate to the consolidated financial statements of the Sonaecom Group and have been prepared on a going concern basis, based on the accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation through full consolidation method (note 2) in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and taking into consideration the IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements were prepared based on the acquisition cost, except for the revaluation of some financial instruments.

Sonaecom adopted IFRS for the first time according to SIC 8 (First-time adoption of IAS) on 1 January 2003.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been approved (endorsed) by the European Union, and have mandatory application to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2016 and were first adopted in the year ended at 30 June 2016:

Standard / Interpretation Effective date (annual
periods beginning on
or after)
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial 1-Jan-16

IAS 16 and IAS 38 - Amendments (Clarification of 1-Jan-16
Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation)
The IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the
depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an
activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects more factors other
than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset.
IFRS 11 - Amendments (Accounting for Acquisitions of 1-Jan-16
Interests in Joint Operations)
The objective was to add new guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of
an interest in a joint by controlled operation that constitutes a business. The
IASB decided which acquirers of such interests shall apply all the principles
applied to business combinations accounting as established in IFRS 3 - "Business
Combinations", and other IFRSs, that do not conflict with the guidance provided
in IFRS 11.
IAS 27: Amendments (Equity Method in Separate 1-Jan-16
Financial Statements)
This amendment will allow entities to use the equity method to account for
investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate
financial statements.

The application of these standards and interpretations had no material effect on the financial statements of the Group.

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 9 (Financial Instruments) and subsequent

Amendments to IFRS 10 - "Consolidated Financial
Statements", IFRS 12 - "Disclosure of Interests in Other
Entities" and IAS 28 - "Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures"
1-Jan-16
The purposed of these amendments is to clarify several issues regarding the
application of the requirement for investment entities to measure subsidiaries
at fair value instead of consolidating them.

undefined

IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Amendments(Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture)

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those established in IAS 28 (2011), when dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

IFRS 14 (Regulatory Deferral Accounts) 1-Jan-16

Permits an entity which is a first-time adopter of IFRS to continue to account, with some limited changes, for 'regulatory deferral account balances', in accordance with its previous GAAP, both on initial adoption of IFRS and in subsequent financial statements.

IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) 1-Jan-18 IFRS 15 specifies how and when an IFRS reporter will recognise revenue as well as requiring such entities to provide users of financial statements with more informative, relevant disclosures. The standard provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers.

1-Jan-19

IFRS 16 specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognise, measure, present and disclose leases, replacing IAS 17. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17

Amendments to IAS 12: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses 1-Jan-17

Amendments to IAS 12: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses is to clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value.

Amendments to IAS 7: Disclosure Initiative 1-Jan-17

Amendments to AS 7: Disclosure Initiative intended to clarify IAS 7 to improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity's financing activities

Amendments to IFRS 2: Share-based Payment 1-Jan-18

The objective of clarifications to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment was to clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions.

the European Union and, as such, were not adopted by the Group for the period ended at 30 June 2016. Their application is not yet mandatory.

It is estimated that the application of these standards and interpretations, except of IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16, when applicable to the group, will have no material effect on future consolidated financial statements, lying in analysis process the effects of these standards.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group on 30 June 2016 are comparable with those used in the preparation of 30 June 2015 financial statements.

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

Sonaecom has control of the subsidiary when the company cumulatively fulfils the following conditions: i) has power over the subsidiary; ii) is exposed to, or has rights over, variable results from its involvement with the subsidiary; and iii) the ability to use its power to affect its returns. These Investments were fully consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Third party participations in are recorded separately in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated profit and loss statement, respectively, Non-controlling intere

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 and companies jointly controlled

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.

The investments in companies jointly controlled are also recorded using the equity method. The classification of these

investments is determinate based on Shareholders Agreements, which regulate the shared control.

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 and companies jointly controlled is performed annually, with the aim of detecting possible impairment situations.

associated company or a company jointly controlled 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 or a company jointly controlled, a situation when a provision is recorded

The difference between the acquisition price of the investments in associated companies and companies jointly controlled and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities at the time of their acquisition, when positive, is recorded as Goodwill, included in the investment value and, when negative, after a reassessment, is recorded, directly, in the profit and companies in associated companies and companies jointly controlled .

The description of the associated companies and companies jointly controlled is disclosed in note 8.

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

useful life
Buildings and other constructions 3 - 20
Plant and machinery 3 - 15
Vehicles 4 - 5
Fixtures and fittings 1 - 10
Tools and utensils 4
Other tangible assets 4

Current maintenance and repair expenses 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 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 depreciated in accordance with the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

Work in progress corresponds to tangible 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.

d) 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, brands, patents, portfolios (value attributed under the purchase price allocation in business combinations) and know-how.

Amortisations of intangible assets are calculated on a straightline monthly basis, over the estimated useful life of the assets (one to nineteen years, but most of which are amortized between 3 and 5 years), as from the month in which the corresponding expenses are incurred. The amortisation of the portfolios 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.

Amortisation for the period is recorded in the profit and loss

e) 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.

f) Goodwill

The differences between the price of investments in subsidiaries 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 negative, after a reappreciation of its calculation, are recorded directly in the profit and loss statement. The Group will choose, on an acquisition-by-acquisition 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 non-controlling 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 its value are recorded as a 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 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.

Until 1 January estimated period of recovery of the investments, usually 10 years, and the annual amortisation was recorded in the profit Since 1 January 2004 and in accordance with the IFRS 3 ased impairment tests (paragraph w). Impairment losses of Goodwill are recorded in the profit and loss statement for the period

g) Financial instruments

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following -to- -for- 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 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 cap balance sheet.

-to-

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

On 30 June 2016 Held-to-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 value through profit 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.

-forvalue.

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

Realised or 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 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.

h) 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.

Tangible 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.

i) 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

j) 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 statem Future reversals of impairment losses are recorded in the Provisions and impairment losses

k) 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 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, subsidiary companies and companies jointly controlled 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.

l) 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.

m) 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.

n) 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.

On 30 June 2016, the Group had foreign exchange forwards to hedge the foreign currency risk related to account receivables in dollars (note 1.v), in addition to those mentioned in note 1.x.

o) 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 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.

p) Income tax

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

Sonaecom has adopted, since 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, however, for the year ended at 31 December 2015, the Sonaecom Group, no longer has an independent group of companies covered by the special regime for taxation due to of having passed to integrate the special regime for taxation of groups of Sonae SGPS companies.

Sonaecom is under the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, from which Sonae, SGPS is the dominant company since 1 January 2015. Sonaecom records the income tax on their individual accounts and the tax calculated is record under the caption of group companies. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all direct or indirect subsidiaries, and even through companies resident in another Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area, only if, in the last case, there is an obligation of administrative cooperation, on which the Group holds at least 75% of their share capital, where such participation confers more than 50% of voting rights, if meet certain requirements. 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 based on decreed tax rate or substantially decreed tax rate at balance sheet date.

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

q) Government subsidies

Subsidies awarded to finance personnel costs are recognised as less cost 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 on the Balance Sheet and are included in the . Subsidies are recognized during the estimated useful life of the corresponding assets.

For businesses in the digital security area, non-repayable subsidies are recognized in the balance sheet as deferred income and are recognized in the profit and loss statement in 'Other operating income'. The incentive is recognized during the project development period.

The reimbursable subsidies are recognized in the balance sheet as liabilities in 'Medium and long-term loans net of short-term portion ' and 'Short-term loans and other loans' and are depreciated in accordance with the established payment plans. These subsidies are recorded at amortized cost in accordance with the method of effective interest rate.

r) 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.

    • ther 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 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 ther non-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 (paragraph o).

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 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 actualization of the fair value is recorded in the profit and loss statement under the

receive such amounts are appropriately established and communicated.

s) 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.

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

t) 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 i.e., 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 Medium Term Incentive Plans is registered under the headi cannot be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

e considered effective (note 1.n)) 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 IFRS. Additionally, the increments resulting from the application of fair value through equity components, including its implementation through net results, shall be distributed only when the elements that gave rise to them are sold, liquidated or exercised or when they finish their use, in the case of tangible or intangible assets. Therefore, at 30 June 2016, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. have free reserves distributable amounting approximately Euro 43,7 million. To this effect were considered as distributable increments resulting from the application of fair value through equity components already exercised during the period ended 30 June 2016.

u) Own shares

v) 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:

2016 2015
30 June Average 30 June Average
Pounds Sterling 1.2099 1.2844 1.4057 1.3659

On 30 June 2016, the Group had foreign exchange forwards amount to USD 1,498,000 (USD 298,000 at 30 June 2015), fixing the exchange rate for EUR, which have an average maturity of 2 months (1,5 month on 30 June 2015).

w) 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 stments or under the 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; and
  • 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 in associated companies, the recoverable amount, calculated in terms of value in use, is determined based on the most recent business For goodwill and financial investments in companies jointly controlled the recoverable amount is determinate taking into account with several information as business plans approved by the Board of Directors and the average ratings of external reviewers (researches).

For Accounts receivables, 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.

x) 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 company the estimated responsibility is recorded, as a credit entry, n the profit and loss statement of the period.

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 counting date.

When the responsibilities associated with any plan are covered by a hedging contract, i.e., 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 plann, the above accounting treatment is subject to the following changes:

  • (i) The total gross fixed amount payable to third parties is -current liabilities
  • (ii) The part of this responsibility that has not yet been recognised in the profit and loss statement (the r non-
  • (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 the profit and loss s 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 Sonae SGPS are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is recorded the profit and loss statement ca 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.

On 30 June 2016, plans allocated during 2014, 2015 and 2016 are not covered by the contract being recorded liability at fair value. The responsibility of all plans is recorded in the captions -

cost is recognized on the income statement under the caption

y) 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.

z) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the periods ended at 30 June 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

  • (i) Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets;
  • (ii) Impairment analysis of goodwill and of other tangible and intangible assets; and
  • (iii) Recognition of impairment losses on assets (Trade debtors and Inventories) and provisions.

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 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, when applicable.

aa) 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.n).

The Group is also exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments, although they are usually maintained for strategic purposes.

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, Colombia, 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.n).

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 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 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; and
  • 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 o

As al 15) are at variable rates, interest rate are used swaps and other derivatives, 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 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.

On 30 June 2016, are not contracted any derivatives of interest rate hedging.

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, i.e., 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, i.e. to minimise the probability of default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial Efficiency, i.e., 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; and
  • (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

the accounts receivable related to current operational activities. The credit risk associated to financial operations is mitigated by the fact that the Group 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.

This decision is based in the contractual terms of each financial instrument.

Impairment losses (note 5) (334,657) -
Closing balance 27,236,464 28,977,979

For the periods ended at 30 June 2016 and 2015, the c includes the effect of the exchange rate update of the Goodwill.

At the year ended at 31 December 2015 the Goodwill resulting from the purchase of 50% of the S21 SEC Ciberseguridad SA de CV share capital in the amount of 369,402 was recorded in consolidated financial statements of Sonaecom. The purchase price allocation may still be subject to change until the conclusion of the period of one year from the date of the check, as permitted by IFRS 3 - Business Combinations.

Thus, in the period ended at 30 June 2016, as a result of the revaluation of assets acquired was recorded an impairment for the total amount of goodwill net of the effect of foreign exchange rates of the period (34,745 euros).

Goodwill 23,706,464 3,530,000
Information Systems Multimedia
2015
Goodwill 22,947,979 6,030,000

In the area of information systems, the assumptions used are essentially based on the various businesses of the Group and the growth of the several geographic areas where the Group operates. The average growth rate used to the turnover of 5 years was 12.9%. For the Media sector, the average growth rate used was circa of 2%. The discount rates used were based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which depends on the business segment of each subsidiary, as indicated in the table below. In perpetuity, the Group considered a growth rate between 1% and 3% in the area of information systems and 0% in Multimedia area. In situations where the measurement of the existence, or not, of impairment is made based on the net selling price, values of similar transactions and other proposals made are used.

Basis of recoverable amount Value in use Value in use
Discount rate 10.5% 9.0%
Growth rate in perpetuity 1.0% 0.0%

For the sector of Information Systems, in digital security area (Cybersecurity), a growth rate used was 3%. Additionally, for the Digitmarket company a growth rate used was 2%.

The analyses of the impairment indices and the review of the impairment projections and tests have not lead to clearance losses, during the periods ended at 30 June 2016 and 2015, beyond registered in the income statement. For the sensitivity analyses made, required in the IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets, have not lead to material changes of the recoveries, so not result material additional impairments.

a)

The processes described below are provisioned in the consolidated accounts of Zopt, given the level of risk identified.

1. Legal actions with regulators

On 8 July 2009, NOS SA (named ZON TV Cabo), was notified by the Competition Authority (AdC) in connection with infringement proceeding relating to the triple-play offer, requesting NOS SA to comment on the content of the notification, which it did in good time. The case is currently at the fact-finding stage in AdC and various information has been requested, to which NOS has responded. If it is er in last year of infringement. In July 2015, NOS Group was notified of decision to dismiss the case by Competition Authority, and so that the provision initially recorded in ZOPT group was reversed.

2. Actions by MEO against NOS S.A., NOS Madeira and NOS Açores and by NOS S.A. against MEO

  • Action brought by MEO (PT) against NOS Madeira, claiming the payment of Euro 1.6 million, plus interests, for the alleged use of ducts, supply of the MID service, supply of video and audio channels, operating, maintenance and management costs of the Madeira/Porto Santo undersea cable and the use of two fiber optic circuits. NOS Madeira contested the action, in particular the claimed prices, the services and the legitimacy of MEO in respect of the ducts. A decision was handed down in late July 2013, favourable to NOS Madeira. As a consequence of this decision, MEO appealed to the Lisbon Court of Appeal. In June 2015, the decision was handed down which fully acquitted NOS Madeira relative to MID and confirmed the lower court decision. This decision was appealed by MEO for the reme Court) which decided not to meet part of the appeal of the object brought by MEO and, as the remainder of the action (restricted to the MID service), judged partially founded, condemning the NOS Madeira to pay MEO the amount of 160 thousand euros, plus default interest. The judgment of the Supreme Court became final, pending only the presentation by the expense account of the Court.
  • In 2011, MEO (PT) brought an action in Lisbon Judicial Court against NOS SA, claiming payment of 10.3 million euros, as compensation for alleged undue portability of NOS SA in the period between March 2009 and July 2011. NOS SA lodged a contest and reply, having started the expert evidence, that the Court however declared void. The hearing where the evidence of witnesses is to be provided is scheduled for April and May. In the event of action being judged totally unfounded, the court costs, which are the responsibility of NOS, could amount to over 500 thousand euros.
  • MEO (PT) made three court notices to NOS SA (April 2013, July 2015 and march 2016), three to NOS Açores (March and June 2013 and May 2016) and three to NOS Madeira (March and June 2013 and May 2016), in order to stop the prescription of alleged damages resulting from claims of undue portability, absence of response time to requests submitted to them by MEO and alleged illegal refusal of electronic portability requests. f

these, in the case of NOS SA, in the amount of 26 million euros (from August 2011 and May 2014), in the case of NOS Açores, in the amount of 195 thousand euros and NOS Madeira, amounting to 817 thousand euros.

In 2011, NOS SA brought an action in the Lisbon Judicial Court against MEO (PT), claiming payment of 22.4 million euros, for damages suffered by NOS SA, arising from violations of the Portability Regulation by PT, in particular, the large number of unjustified refusals of portability requests by MEO in the period between February 2008 and February 2011. The court declared the compulsory performance of expert evidence, which is currently underway, the expert report having been notified to the parties and the parties have submitted their requests for clarification to the experts. At the same time, experts who will be tasked with the economic and financial expertise have been appointed.It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, supported by lawyers who monitor the process, that there is, in substance, a good possibility of NOS SA winning the action, due to the fact that MEO has already been convicted for the same offense, by ICP ANACOM. However, it is impossible to determine the outcome of the action. In the event of action be judged totally unfounded, the court costs, which are the responsibility of NOS could amount to over 1 million euros.

3. Action against NOS SA

In 2014, a NOS SGPS providers of marketing services has brought a civil lawsuit seeking a payment of about 1,243 thousand euros, by the alleged early termination of contract and for compensation. The Court of First Instance acquitted the NOS SGPS instance, based on passive illegitimacy than the author appealed. The Court of Appeal upheld the appeal of Lisbon, but the author complained of it by maintaining that its appeal should be assessed not by the Court of Appeal but the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, called to rule on the issue in March 2016, upheld the exception of passive illegitimacy of NOS SGPS and absolved the instance. It is belief of the Board of Directors that the arguments used are not correct, so the outcome of the proceeding will not result in significant impact on the financial statements of the group.

4. CNPD

Infringement proceedings in the amount of approximately Euro 4.5 million, established by the National Commission for Data he project phase of decision, NOS SA argued, firstly, a set of procedural irregularities and, secondly, a set of fact and law arguments that the Board understood to impose a final decision to dismiss the case. However, on 16 January 2014, NOS SA received a settlement notice regarding the fine imposed by the CNPD, against which appealed to the courts. On 8 September 2014, the Court for Competition, Euro 600 thousand. NOS SA appealed against this decision. As a consequence of this decision, the provision was reduced by Euro 3.9 million, affecting the net income/(loss) of the year ended in 2014. On 5 February 2015, the Lisbon Court of Appeal set the fine at Euro 100 thousand, a decision which became final and unappealable. NOS reverted the provision in the amount of Euro 500 thousand and paid the fine in April 2015.

5. ANACOM

Infringement proceedings due to an alleged failure, by NOS SA, to apply the resolutions taken by ANACOM on 26 October 2005, concerning termination rates for fixed calls. Following a deliberation of Board of Directors of the regulator, in April 2012, a fine of approximately Euro 6.5 million was applied to NOS SA; NOS SA has appealed for the judicial review of the decision and the court has , in January 2014 defence). In April 2014 ANACOM has notified NOS SA of a new judicial process, based on the same accusations. This process is a repetition of the initial one. In September 2014, ANACOM, based on the same facts, fine on NOS SA in the amount of Euro 6.5 million. This decision was contested by NOS SA. In May 2015, it was acquitted, which revoked the decision by ANACOM and the fine which had been applied. ANACOM appealed the decision and the process is currently on appeal in Lisbon Court of Appeal.

6. Supplementary Capital

The tax authorities are of the opinion that NOS SA has broken the principle of full competition under the terms of (1) of article 58 of the Corporate Tax Code (CIRC), by granting supplementary capital to its subsidiary NOS Towering, without having been remunerated at a market interest rate. In consequence, it has been notified, with regard to the years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, of corrections to the determination of its taxable income in the total amount of Euro 20.5 million. NOS SA contested the decision with regard to all the above mentioned years. Regarding the period of 2004, the Court has decided favourable to NOS. As for the years of 2006 and 2007, the Fiscal and Administrative Court of Oporto has already decided unfavourably. The company has contested these decisions and the final decision of the processes is pending.

7. Future credits transferred

For the year ended at 31 December 2010, the subsidiary NOS SA was notified of the Report of Tax Inspection related with the 2008 period, where it is considered that the increase, when calculating the taxable profit, of the amount of Euro 100 million, with respect to initial price of future credits transferred to securitization, is inappropriate. Therefore, given the principle of periodisation of taxable income, NOS SA was subsequently notified of the improper deduction of the amount of Euro 20 million in the calculation of taxable income between 2009 and 2013. On the basis of this correction is the understanding that the increase made in 2008 was not accepted due to not complying with Article 18 of the CIRC, so, also in the years following, the deduction corresponding to credits generated in that year, will eliminate the calculation of taxable income, to meet the annual amortisation hired as part of the operation (20 million per year during 5 years). NOS SA challenged the decisions regarding 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 fiscal year and regarding the 2013 fiscal year it is still being challenged in administrative proceedings.. Regarding the year 2008, the Administrative and Fiscal Court of Porto has already decided unfavourably, in March 2014. The company has appealed.

8. Extraordinary contribution toward the fund for the compensation of the net costs of the universal service of electronic communications (CLSU):

The Extraordinary contribution toward the fund for the compensation of the net costs of the universal service of electronic communications (CLSU) is legislated in Articles 17 to 22 of Law nr 35/2012, of 23 August. From 1995 until June 2014, MEO, SA (ex-PTC) was the sole provider for the universal service of electronic communications, having been designated administratively by the government, i.e without a tender procedure, which constitutes an illegality, as acknowledged by the European Court of Justice who, through its decision taken in June 2014, condemned the Portuguese State to pay a fine of 3 million MEO. In accordance with Article 18 of the abovementioned Law number 35/2012, the net costs incurred by the operator responsible for providing the universal service, approved by ANACOM, must be shared between other companies who provide, in national territory public communication networks and publicly accessible electronic communications services. NOS is therefore within the scope of this extraordinary contribution given that MEO has being requesting the payment of CLSU to the compensation fund of the several periods during which it was responsible for providing the services. Indeed, in accordance with the law, the compensation fund can be activated to compensate the net costs of the electronic communications universal service, relative to the period before the designation of the provider by tender, whenever, cumulatively (i) there are net costs, considered excessive, the amount of which is approved by ANACOM, following an audit to their preliminary calculation and support documents, which are provided by the universal service provider, and (ii) the universal service provider requester the Government compensation for the net costs approved under the terms previously mentioned.

In 2013, ANACOM deliberated to approve the final results of the CLSU audit presented by MEO, relative to the period from 2007 to 2009, in a total amount of 66.8 million euro, contested decision by the Company. In January 2015, In January 2015, ANACOM issued the settlement notes in the amount of Euro 18.6 million, which were contested by NOS and for which bail were presented by NOS SGPS to avoid Tax Execution Proceedings, guarantees that have been accepted by ANACOM.

In 2014, ANACOM deliberated to approve the final results of the CLSU audit by MEO, relative to the period from 2010 to 2011, in a total amount of 47.1 million euro, a decision also contested by NOS. In February 2016, ANACOM issued the settlement notes to the Company in amount of 13 million euro wich will be contested by NOS and for which it was before also presented bail by NOS SGPS in order to avoid the promotion of respective tax enforcement processes, guarantees that have been accepted by ANACOM.

Still in 2015, ANACOM deliberated to approve the final results of the CLSU audit by MEO relative to the period 2012 in the amount of 26 million euro. This decision was also contested by NOS.

In the same year, 2015, ANACOM also deliberated to approve the final results of the CLSU audit by MEO, related to the year ended on 2013 in the amount of 20 million euro, wich will be contested by NOS.

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors of NOS that these extraordinary contributions to CLSU of service providing by PTC (not designated through a tender procedure) violates the Directive of Universal Service. Moreover, considering the existing legal framework since NOS began its activity, the request of payment of the extraordinary contribution violates the principle of the protection of confidence, recognised on a legal and constitutional level in Portuguese domestic law. For these reasons, NOS will continue judicially challenge the liquidation of each extraordinary contributions, once the Board of Directors is convinced it will be successful in all challenges, both future and already undertaken.

Regardless of the belief of the Board of Directors of NOS, was attributed, in 2014, in the Goodwill allocation period provided by IFRS 3, a provision to remedy this situation, with regard to possible liability to the date of the merger.

NOS SA, NOS Açores and NOS Madeira brought actions for judicial review of ICP-Annual Fee (for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013) for carrying on the business of Electronic Communications Services Networks Supplier in the amounts, respectively, of (i) 1,861 thousand euros, 3,808 thousand euros, 6,049 thousand euros, 6,283 thousand euros and 7,270 thousand euros; (ii) 29 thousand euros, 60 thousand euros, 95 thousand euros, 95 thousand euros and 104 thousand euros; (iii) 40 thousand euros, 83 thousand euros, 130 thousand euros, 132 thousand euros and 149 thousand euros, and seeking reimbursement of the amounts meanwhile paid in connection with the enforcement proceedings. This fee is a percentage decided

gradually: ⅓ in the first year, ⅔ in the second year and 100% in the third year. NOS SA, NOS Açores and NOS Madeira claim, in addition to defects of unconstitutionality and illegality, that only revenues from the electronic communications business per se, subject to regulation by ICP - ANACOM, should be considered for the purposes of the application of the percentage and the calculation of the fee payable, and that revenues from television content should be excluded.

On 18 December 2012 a ruling was passed on the proceedings instigated by NOS SA for 2009, for which the appeal was upheld, with no prior hearing, condemning ICP-ANACOM to pay the costs. ICP-ANACOM appealed and by decision of July 2013 was not upheld.

The remaining proceedings are awaiting trial and decision.

10. Tax Authorities

During the course of the 2003 to 2016, some companies of the NOS Group were the subject of tax inspections for the 2001 to 2014 financial years. Following the successive inspections, NOS, as the controlling company of the Tax Group, and companies not covered by Tax Group, were notified of the corrections made to the Group's tax losses, to VAT and stamp tax and to make the payments related to the corrections made to the above exercises. The total amount of the notifications is about 24 million euro. Note that the Group considered that the corrections were unfounded, and contested the amounts mentioned. The Group provided the bank guarantees demanded by the Tax Authorities in connection with these proceedings.

At end of year 2013 and taking advantage of the extraordinary settlement scheme of tax debts, the Group settled 7.7 million euro. This -current net of the provision recorded.

As belief of the Board of Directors of the NOS group, supported by our lawyers and tax advisors, the risk of loss of these proceedings is not likely and the outcome thereof will not affect materially the consolidated position.

11. Action against Sport TV

SPORT TV Portugal, S.A. was fined by the Competition Authority to the value of Euro 3,730 thousand for the alleged abuse of its dominant position in the domestic market of subscription channels with premium sport content.

SPORT TV is not in agreement with the decision and has therefore decided to appeal against it to the competent judicial authorities. The Court of Competition, Regulation and Supervision altered the value to Euro 2,700 thousand. Meanwhile, Sport TV hat decision.

Action brought by Cogeco Cable Inc., former shareholder of Cabovisão, against Sport TV, NOS SGPS and a third, requesting, among others: (i) joint condemnation of the three institutions to pay compensation for damages caused by anti-competitive conduct, guilty and illegal, between 3 August 2006 and 30 March 2011, specifically for the excess price paid for Sport TV channels by Cabovisão, in the amount of Euro 9.1 million; (ii) condemnation for damages corresponding to the remuneration of capital unavailable, in the amount Euro 2.4 million; and (iii) condemnation for damages corresponding to the loss of business from anticompetitive practices of Sport TV, in connection with the enforcement proceedings. The NOS Group contested the action, awaiting for appointment.

It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, supported by lawyers who monitor the process, that, in substance, it is unlikely that NOS SA is responsible in this action.

Cabovisão brought an action against the SPORT TV, in which it requests compensation from the latter for alleged losses resulting from abuse of a dominant position in amount of 18 million euro, more capital and interest that will win from 31 December 2014 and profits. The Board of Directors of Sport TV and lawyers, who monitor the process, predict a favourably outcome, not estimating impacts in the accounts, in addition to those already registered.

12. Contractual penalties

The general conditions that affect the agreement and termination of this contract between NOS and its clients, establish that if the products and services provided by the client can no longer be used prior to the end of the binding period, the client is obliged to immediately pay damages.

Until 31 December 2014, revenue from penalties, due to inherent uncertainties was recorded only at the moment when it was received, so at 30 June 2016, the receivables by NOS SA, NOS Madeira and NOS Açores amount to a total of 106,567 thousand euros. During the semester ended on 30 June 2016 2,282 thousand euros related to 2015 receivables were received and recorded in the income statement.

From 1 January 2015, revenue from penalties is recognised taking into account an estimated collectability rate taking into account the Group's collection history. The penalties invoiced are recorded as accounts receivable and amounts determined as uncollectible are recorded as impairment by deducting revenue recognized upon invoicing.

13. Interconnection tariffs

At 30 June 2016, accounts receivable and accounts payable include 37,139,253 euros and 29,913,608 euros, respectively, resulting from a dispute between the subsidiary NOS SA and, essentially, the operator MEO Serviços de Comunicação e Multimédia, S.A. (previously named TMN Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, S.A.), in relation to the indefinition of interconnection tariffs, recorded ourt of ding that the interconnection prices for 2001 were not defined. The settlement of outstanding amounts will depend on the price that will be established.

Sonaecom has adopted, since 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, however, for the year ended at 31 December 2015, the Sonaecom Group, no longer has an independent group of companies covered by the special regime for taxation due to of having passed to integrate the special regime for taxation of groups of Sonae SGPS companies.

In this way, Sonaecom is under the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, from which Sonae, SGPS is the dominant company since 1 January 2015. Sonaecom records the income tax on their individual accounts and the tax calculated is record under the caption of group companies. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all direct or indirect subsidiaries,

and even through companies resident in another Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area, only if, in the last case, there is an obligation of administrative cooperation, on which the Group holds at least 75% of their share capital, where such participation confers more than 50% of voting rights, if meet certain requirements. Although the subsidiaries Digitmarket and Saphety have integrated the tax group in the year ended at 31 December 2014, not integrated the new tax group. Saphety is not covered by this special regime because the indirect participation of Sonae SGPS in more than 75% had not completed more than a year on the date of implementation of this regime. Digitmarket did not integrate this tax group because the indirect participation of Sonae SGPS in this company is less than 75%.

At 30 June 2016 and 2015, the Group has other situations where potential deferred tax assets could be recognised, but since it is not expected that sufficient taxable profits will be generated in the future to cover those losses, such deferred tax assets were not recorded:

2016 2015

The tax rate used to reconcile the tax expense and the accounting profit is 21% in 2016 and 2015 because it is the standard rate of the corporate income tax in Portugal, country where almost all of the income of Sonaecom group are taxed.

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 2013 (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.

25. Earnings per share

Earnings per share, basic and diluted, are calculated by dividing the consolidated net income attributable to the Group (Euro 3,474,156 in 2016 and Euro 33,453,698 in 2015) by the average number of shares outstanding during the year ended 30 June 2016 and 2015, net of own shares (305,769,023 in 2016 and 2015).

26. Medium Term Incentive Plans

In June 2000, Sonaecom Group created a discretionary Medium Term Incentive Plan, for more senior employees, based on Sonaecom options and shares and Sonae-SGPS, S.A. shares. The vesting occurs three years after the award of each plan, assuming that the employees are still employed in the Group, during that period.

The 2011 plan was delivered on March 2015 for all companies except for Sonaecom SGPS, SA, employees, whose delivery was in May 2015.

The 2012 plan was delivered on March 2016 for all companies.

Accordingly, the outstanding plans at 30 June 2016 are as follows:

Vesting period 31 June 2016
Share price
30.06.2016
Award date Vesting date Aggregate number of
participations
Number of shares
Sonae SGPS shares
2013 Plan 0.705 10-Mar-14 10-Mar-17 176 1,611,270
2014 Plan 0.705 10-Mar-15 10-Mar-18 188 1,522,633
2015 Plan 0.705 10-Mar-16 10-Mar-19 204 1,828,091

All the Plans includes employees of WeDo Group following the adoption by these companies of the same medium term incentives plans that the rest of the group since 2013.

During the period ended at 30 June 2016, the movements that occurred in the plans can be summarised as follows:

Sonae SGPS shares
Number of participants Number of shares
Outstanding at 31 December 2015:
Unvested 402 4,042,703
Total 402 4,042,703
Movements in the period:
Award 204 1,828,091
Vested (23) (813,157)
Cancelled / elapsed / corrected / transfers (1) (15) (95,643)
Outstanding at 30 June 2016:
Unvested 568 4,961,994
Total 568 4,961,994

(1) Corrections are made for dividends paid and changes to capital and other adjustments including those resulting from changes in the maturity of the MTIP, which may now be made through shares at a discount.

The responsibility of the plans was recognized under the caption 'Other current liabilities' and 'Other non-current liabilities'.

For Sonae SGPS shares plans (excluding the Sonaecom shares plans converted into Sonae SGPS shares plans), the group entered into hedging contracts with external entities, and the liabilities are calculated based on the agreed price. The hedging contracts were used to cover the vestd of the 2011 and 2012 plans. So, in the period ended at 30 June 2016 there are no outstanding hedging contracts.

Share plans costs are recognised in the accounts over the year between the award and the vesting date of those shares. The costs recognised with outstanding plans and with the plan delivered during the period ended at 30 June 2016, were as follows:

Value
Costs recognised in previous years 2,205,631
Costs recognised in the period 36,535
Costs of plans vested in the period (813,651)
Total cost of the plans 1,428,515
Recorded in 'Other current liabilities 865,148
Recorded in 'Other non-current liabilities 563,366

These financial consolidated presentations have been approved by the Executive Board and authorized to be issued on 27 July 2016.

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 amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the
requirements in IFRS 10 and those established in IAS 28 (2011), when
dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its
associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is
that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business
(whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is
recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a

business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

the European Union and, as such, were not adopted by the Group for the period ended at 30 June 2016. Their application is not yet mandatory.

It is estimated that the application of these standards and interpretations, except of IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16, when applicable to the group, will have no material effect on future consolidated financial statements, lying in analysis process the effects of these standards.

The accounting policies and measurement criteria adopted by the Group on 30 June 2016 are comparable with those used in the preparation of 30 June 2015 financial statements.

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 period 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
improvements in buildings owned by third parties 10-20
Plant and machinery 5
Vehicles 4
Fixtures and fittings 4-8

Current maintenance and repair costs of tangible assets are recorded as costs in the period 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 to six 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

Sonaecom has control of subsidiaries in situations that cumulatively fulfill the following conditions: i) has power over the subsidiary; ii) is exposed to, or has rights to, variable results via its relationship with the subsidiary ; and iii) is able to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of your results. Financial investments in equity investments in group companies, are recorded under "Investments in group companies', at cost of acquisition.

The acquisition cost is the amount of cash and cash equivalents paid or the fair value of other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of acquisition or establishment or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognized in accordance with the specific requirements of IFRS 2.

The consideration transferred may include assets or liabilities of the acquirer that have carrying amounts that differ from their fair value at the acquisition date (for example, nonmonetary assets or a business of the acquirer). If so, the acquirer must re-measure the assets and liabilities transferred at their fair value at the acquisition date and recognize the resulting gaines or losses, if any, in the income statement. However, sometimes the transferred assets or liabilities remain in the entity acquired after the completion of the business and therefore the buyer retains control over them. In this situation, the acquirer shall measure those assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts immediately before the acquisition date and shall not recognize any gain or loss in the income statement for assets or liabilities it controls both before and after the completion of the deal.

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 period that

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

d) Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments in Joint Ventures (companies in which the Company has, direct or indirect, 50% of the voting rights in the Shareholders General Meeting of or in which it has the control over the financial and operating policies), are recorded under in accordance with IAS 27, as such, Sonaecom presents, separately, consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS / IFRS.

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

Investments and loans granted to joint ventures 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 joint ventures are recorded, in the period that they the profit and loss statement.

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

e) Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the -to-maturity -for-

The 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.

-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-sale financial assets

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 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-for- t fair 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 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 th transactions, reference to similar instruments, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models 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.

f) 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.

Tangible 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.

g) 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 statement under the cap

h) Cash and cash equivalents

sh 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 using the direct method. months, for which the risk of change in value is insignificant. flow statement also includes bank overdrafts, which are reflected in -

The cash flow statement is classified by operating, financing and investing activities. Operating activities include 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 tangible 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.

i) Loans

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.

j) 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.

k) 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

(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 of June 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any derivative, beyond those mentioned in note 1.t).

l) 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.

m) Income Tax

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

Sonaecom has adopted, since 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, however, for the year ended at 31 December 2015, the Sonaecom Group, stopped having an independent group of companies covered by the special regime for taxation due to of having passed to integrate the special regime for taxation of groups of Sonae SGPS companies.

Therefore, since 1 January 2015, Sonaecom is under the special regime for the taxation of groups of companies, from which Sonae, SGPS is the dominant company. Sonaecom records the income tax on their individual accounts and the tax calculated is record under the caption of group companies. The special regime for the taxation of groups of companies covers all direct or indirect subsidiaries, and even through companies resident in another Member State of the European Union or the European Economic Area, only if, in the last case, there is an obligation of administrative cooperation, on which the Group holds at least 75% of their share capital, where such participation confers more than 50% of voting rights, if meet certain requirements.

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 period, 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 9).

Deferred taxes are calculated with the tax rate that is expected to be in effect at the time the asset or liability is realized, based on the rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

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

n) 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.

  • -cur 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 period and whose expenses will only occur in future periods are estimated and recorded c 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.l)).

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.

o) 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 9 and 15).

p) 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

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 cannot be used to absorb losses.

Hedging reserve

hedges derivatives that are considered effective (note 1.k) 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.

Additionally, the increments resulting from the application of fair value through equity components, including its implementation through the net results, shall be distributed only when the elements that gave rise to them are sold, liquidated or exercised when they finish their use, in the case of tangible or intangible assets. Therefore, at 30 June 2016, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A., had free distributable reserves amounting to approximately EUR 44 million. To this effect were considered distributable increments resulting from the application of fair value through equity components already exercised during the year ended at 30 June 2016.

q) Own shares

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

r) 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:

2016 2015
30 June Average 30 June Average
Pounds Sterling 1.2099 1.2844 1.3908 1.3615
Swiss franc 0.9202 0.9126 0.9670 0.9452
Swedish krona 0.1061 0.1075 0.1072 0.1069
American Dollar 0.9007 0.8964 0.9116 0.8978

s) 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 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 in Group companies, 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.

For financial investments in joint ventures, the recoverable amount is determinate taking into account with several information as business plans approved by the Board of Directors and the average ratings of external reviewers (researches).

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.

t) 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, 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, i.e., 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 proportion of the cost of each plan) is deferred - ;
  • (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 -c 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 Sonae SGPS are recorded as if they were settled in cash, which means that the estimated liability is recorded -current liabi relating to the deferred period elapsed. The liability is quantified based on the fair value of the shares as of each balance sheet date.

On 30 June 2016, the plans allocated during the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 are not covered by the contract being recorded liability at fair value. The responsibility of all plans is recorded - er (note 23). The cost is recognized on the

u) 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.

v) Judgements and estimates

The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements of the periods ended at 30 June 2016 and 2015 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 methodology.

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

x) Financial risk management

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 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.k)). The Company is also exposed to equity price risks arising from equity investments, although they are usually maintained for strategic purposes.

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. k).

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

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 this way partially offsetting the increase of financial costs 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 of the funds considered in t .

As a borrowings (note 14) are at variable rates, interest rate swaps and other derivatives are used to hedge future changes in cash flow relating to interest payments, when it is considered necessary. 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 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 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 owings 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 Inst 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.

On 30 June 2016, are not contracted any derivatives instruments of hedging of the interest rate changes.

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, i.e., 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, i.e., to minimise the probability of

default in any reimbursement of application of funds; and (iii) Financial efficiency, i.e., 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 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 treasury estimates is an important variable to quantify the amounts and the maturity of the applications in the market.

The maturity of each class of financial liabilities is presented in note 14.

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.

Consequently, tax returns of each year, since the year 2013 (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 produce a significant impact in the accompanying financial statements.
