V. OUTLOOK FOR 2010

The Teixeira Duarte Group will maintain its attitude of particular caution and vigilance in relation to cost contention and will continue its prudent assessment of investments in the various sectors and markets in which it operates.

TEIXEIRA DUARTE maintains expectations of growth in the construction sector abroad and, in the national market, will focus its efforts of prudent participation in the main national tenders.

The Portfolio of Orders of the Teixeira Duarte Group for the construction sector, which reached the impressive total value of 1,987,928 thousand euros as at 30 September 2010, ensures good levels of activity, especially in the current context of such unfavourable economic circumstances.

The development of action in other activity sectors will also be pursued, whenever possible also giving priority to ventures in external markets, which, due to their dynamics, are becoming increasingly important in the Teixeira Duarte Group.

TEIXEIRA DUARTE expects to achieve, at the end of the current 2010 financial year, consolidated operating income of 1,500 million euros.

The International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), the International Accounting Standards ("IAS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and respective interpretations, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") and Standing Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), respectively, whose adoption was approved by the European Union, shall be construed as part of these standards. Henceforth, the set of such standards and interpretations shall be called under the generic term of "IAS / IFRS".

2.2 – Accounting policies

The financial statements were prepared based on the assumption of business continuity according to the historic cost convention, except with respect to investment property, financial assets available for sale and derivative financial instruments assessed at fair value, as well as other investments assessed at fair value with an impact on profit or loss.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of the IFRS requires the Board of Directors to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, in particular depreciation and provisions, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as income and costs.

These estimates are based on the best existing knowledge at each moment and planned actions, and are periodically reviewed based on available information. Changes in facts and circumstances can lead to a review of those estimates, such that real future results may differ from those estimates.

The significant estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors in preparing these financial statements include, namely, the assumptions used to estimate the following aspects:

Impairment of non-current assets (except Goodwill)

The determination of a potential impairment loss can arise from the occurence of several events, many of which outside the sphere of influence of the Group, such as future availability of financing, cost of capital or any other changes, whether internal or external, to the Group.

The identification of impairment indicators, estimated future cash flows and the determination of the recoverable value of assets implies a high degree of judgement by the Board of Directors with respect to the identification and assessment of different impairment indicators, expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and residual values.

Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests or whenever there are indications of a possible loss in value. The recoverable values of the cash flow generating units to which goodwill has been allocated, are determined based on expected cash flows. These calculations require the use of estimates by the Management regarding the future evolution of activity and discount rates considered.

Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets

The useful life of an asset is the period during which an entity expects an asset to be available for use and it must be reviewed at least at the end of each financial year.

The determination of the useful life of assets, of the amortisation / depreciation method to be applied and of the estimated losses resulting from the early replacement of equipment before the end of their useful life due to technological obsolescence, is essential to determine the amount of amortisation / depreciation to be recognised in the consolidated income statement of each financial year.

These three parameters are defined in accordance with the best estimates of Management, for the assets and businesses in question, considering also the practices adopted by companies of the business segments in which the Group operates.

Provisions

The Group periodically analyses possible obligations arising from past events that must be recognised or disclosed. The subjectivity inherent to the determination of the probability and amount of internal resources necessary for the payment of obligations may lead to significant ajustments, due to changes in the assumptions used, as well as due to the future recognition of provisions previously disclosed as contingent liabilities.

Recognition of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are only recognised when there is a reasonable expectation that there will be sufficient future taxable profits to utilise them or when there are deferred tax liabilities whose reversal is expected to occur in the same period of the reversal of the deferred tax assets. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed by Management at the end of each reporting period and takes into consideration the expectation of future tax performance.

Accounts receivable impairment losses

The credit risk associated with accounts receivable is evaluated at the end of each reporting period, taking into account each client's historical information and risk proifile. Accounts receivable are adjusted by the assessment performed by the Management of the estimated collection risks at the balance sheet dates, which might differ from the effective risk to be incurred.

Recognition of income in construction contracts

The Group recognises the results of works in accordance with the method of percentage completion, which is understood as the relationship between the incurred costs in each contract until the balance sheet date and the sum of these costs with the estimated costs to complete the work. The assessment of the degree of completion of each contract is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the most recent production indicators.

2.3 - Consolidation principles

a) Controlled companies

Controlled companies have been consolidated in each period using the full consolidation method. Control is considered to exist when the Group holds, directly or indirectly, the majority of voting rights at Shareholders' General Meetings, or has the power to determine the company's financial and operating policies.

Third party participation in the equity and net profit of such companies is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement, under the headings of "Non-controlling interests"

When the losses attributable to the non-controlling interests exceed the non-controlling interest in the equity of the subsidiary, the Group will absorb this excess and any additional losses, except when the non-controling interests are obliged and able to cover these losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports a profit, the Group appropriates the profit up to the amount of the losses absorbed by the Group.

The controlled companies as at 30 September 2010 are presented in Note 4. The significant transactions and balances between these companies were eliminated in the consolidation process. The capital gains arising from the disposal of participated companies, made within the Group, were also cancelled.

Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiary companies to conform to the Group's accounting policies.

b) Jointly controlled companies

The financial holdings in jointly controlled companies (Note 16) were consolidated through the proportional consolidation method from the date joint control is acquired. In accordance with this method, the assets, liabilities, income and costs of these companies were integrated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, heading by heading, in proportion to the Group's control.

The transactions, balances and dividends distributed amongst these companies were eliminated in proportion to the Group's control.

The classification of financial investments in jointly controlled companies is determined based on agreements that regulate joint control.

c) Business combinations

Business combinations, namely the acquisition of subsidiary companies, are recorded in accordance with the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the sum of the fair values, at the transaction date, of the assets acquired less the liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued in exchange for the control acquired.

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary that meet the criteria to be recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations (''IFRS 3''), are measured by their fair value as of the purchase date. Any excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets less the non-controlling interests and over the stake held previously is recorded as goodwill. In cases where the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets identified, the difference is recorded as a gain in the income statement for the period in which the acquisition is made. The minority shareholders' interest is reflected in proportion to the fair value of the assets and liabilities identified or to the respective fair value on the acquisition date.

d) Investments in associated companies

An associated company is one over which the Group exercises significant influence, but does not have control or joint control, through participation in decisions relating to its financial and operating policies.

Financial investments in the majority of associated companies (Note 15) are recorded in accordance with the equity method, except when they are classified as held for sale. Holdings are initially recorded at acquisition cost, which is then increased or decreased by the difference between that cost and the proportional value of the equity of such companies as at the purchase date or the date the equity method was first used.

In accordance with the equity method, financial investments are adjusted periodically by the amount corresponding to participation in the net results of associated companies by corresponding entry to ''Earnings from associate companies'' (Note 12) and by other changes in equity by corresponding entry to ''Adjustments of holdings in associated companies'', as well as by recognition of impairment losses. In addition, the dividends received from these companies are recorded as a decrease in the value of financial investments.

Losses in associate companies in excess of the investment in them are not recognised, unless the Group has assumed commitments to that associate.

Any excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recorded as ''Investments in associate companies – goodwill". In cases where the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets identified, the difference is recorded as a gain in the profit and loss for the period in which the acquisition is made.

Unrealised gains on transactions with associated companies are eliminated in proportion to the Group's interest in such companies, by corresponding entry to the amount of the corresponding investment. Unrealised losses are also eliminated, but only up to the point in which the loss does not show that the asset transferred is in a situation of impairment.

e) Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded as an asset and is not amortised, being reflected in a separate balance sheet heading. Annually, or whenever there are indications of a possible loss in value, goodwill is subject to impairment tests. Any impairment loss is immediately recorded as a cost in the income statement for the period and is not subject to subsequent reversal.

Goodwill is included in determining the gain or loss on the sale of a subsidiary or jointly controlled entity.

In cases where the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the net assets identified, the difference is recorded as a gain in the income statement for the period in which the acquisition is made.

The goodwill relative to investments in subsidiaries abroad is recorded in the reporting currency of these subsidiaries, being converted to the reporting currency of the Group (euros) at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences generated during this conversion are recorded under the heading "Currency conversion adjustments".

2.4 - Intangible assets

Intangible assets, which comprise essentially contractual rights and costs incurred on specific projects with future economic value, are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is probable that they will give rise to future economic benefits for the Group, are controllable by the Group and their value can be measured reliably.

Internally generated intangible assets, namely current research and development costs, are recognised as costs when incurred.

Internal costs relating to the maintenance and development of software are recorded as costs in the income statement when incurred, except when such costs relate directly to projects which will probably generate future economic benefits for the Group. In such cases these costs are capitalised as intangible assets.

Amortisation is provided on a straight-line basis as from the date the assets start being used, in accordance with the Group's estimate of their useful life.

2.5 - Fixed tangible assets

Tangible assets used in production, services rendered or for administrative use are recorded at acquisition or production cost, including expenses incurred with their purchase, less accumulated depreciation and, when applicable, impairment losses.

Some buildings were revalued at the market value as at 1 January 2004, as permitted by the transition provisions of IFRS 1 - First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS 1"), the resulting amount being considered as the new cost.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as from the date the assets become available for their intended use and ends when they become classified as non-current assets held for sale. Depreciation is carried out in accordance with the following estimated useful lives:

Years of useful life
Building and other constructios 5 - 20
Basic equipment 4 - 8
Transport equipment 3 - 7
Tools and utensils 3 - 7
Administrative equipment 2 - 10
Other tangible fixed assets 1 - 4

Improvements are only recognised as assets when they correspond to the replacement of goods, which are written-off, or which result in increased future economic benefits.

Tangible fixed assets in progress correspond to tangible assets under construction and are recorded at acquisition cost less possible impairment losses. These tangible fixed assets are depreciated as from when the underlying assets are concluded or in use.

The capital gains or losses arising from the sale or write-off of tangible fixed assets are determined by the difference between the sales price and net book value on the date of the disposal/write-off, being recorded in the income statement as "Other operating income" or "Other operating costs".

2.6 - Leases

Leasing contracts are classified as: (i) finance leases, if substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are transferred under them; or (ii) operating leases, if substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership are not transferred under them.

The classification into financial or operating leases is made according to the substance and not the form of the contract.

The fixed tangible assets acquired under finance lease contracts, as well as the correponding liabilities, are recorded in accordance with the financial method, which recognises tangible fixed assets, corresponding accumulated depreciation and the oustanding debts payable according to the contractual financial plan. In addition, the interest included in the lease instalments and depreciation of the tangible fixed assets are recognised as costs in the income statement of the period to which they relate.

In the case of operating leases, the lease instalments are recognised, on a straight- basis, in the income statement over the period of the lease contracts.

2.7 - Impairment of non-current assets, excluding goodwill

An asessment of the impairment is made whenever an event or alteration in circumstances is identified which indicates that the amount for which the asset is recorded may not be recovered. When such indications exist, the Group determines the recoverable value of the asset, so as to determine the possible extent of the impairment loss.

In situations in which the individual asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the recoverable value is estimated for the cash flow generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Whenever the amount for which the asset is recorded is greater than its recoverable value, an impairment loss is recognised and recorded in the income statement under the heading "Provisions and impairment losses".

The recoverable amount is the higher between the net selling price (selling price, less costs to sell) and the usable value of the asset. The net sales price is the amount which would be obtained from the disposal of the asset in a transaction between knowledgeable independent entities, less the costs directly attributable to the disposal. The usage value is the net present value of the estimated future cash flows resulting from the continued use of the asset and its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable value is estimated for each asset, individually or, when this is not possible, for the unit generating the cash flows to which the asset belongs.

A reversion of impairment losses recognised in previous years is recorded when there are indications that the recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. The reversion of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement under the heading "Provisions and impairment losses" for the period in which the reversion occurs. However, the reversion of the impairment loss is made up to the amount that would have been recognised (net of amortisation or depreciation) if the impairment loss had not been recorded in prior periods.

2.8 - Investment properties

Investment properties, which include land and buildings to lease, capital assessment, or both, are initially recorded at their purchase price or their cost at the construction date (in the case of a self-constructed investment property), including any other directly attributable expenditure.

Following their initial recognition, all property investments, including those in construction, are measured by the value that reflects the market conditions at the balance sheet date. All the gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised in the period in which they occur and recorded under the heading "Variation in the fair value of investment properties", included in "Other operating income" (Note 8) or "Other operating costs".

The fair value of each investment property is determined through evaluations, in some cases carried out by a specialised and independent entity and in accordance with the generally accepted evaluation criteria for the real estate market. In the remaining cases, the determination of the market value is carried out internally, based on criteria similar to those considered by external evaluators, taking into account the expected discounted cash flows.

The costs incurred with investment properties in use, namely maintenance, repairs, insurance and taxation, are recognised in the income statement of the period to which they relate.

2.9 - Foreign currency assets, liabilities and transactions

Transactions in currencies other than the euro are recorded at the rates in force on the date of the transaction. On the balance sheet dates, the monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are converted into euros using the exchange rates in force on that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities recorded at their fair value in foreign currencies are translated to Euros using the exchange rate in force on the date the fair value was determined.

Exchange rate gains and losses resulting from differences between the exchange rates in force on the dates of the transactions and those in force on the dates of collection, payment or the balance sheet date are recognised as income and costs in the income statement, except for those relating to non-monetary items whose change in fair value is recognised directly in equity under the heading ''Currency conversion adjustments''.

The foreign currency financial statements of subsidiary and associated companies are translated as follows: assets and liabilities at the exchange rates in force on the balance sheet dates; equity headings at the historical exchange rates; and income statement and cash flow statement headings at the average exchange rate for the reporting period.

In accordance with IAS 21, the effects of exchange rate changes, goodwill and fair value corrections determined on the acquisition of foreign entities are considered in the reporting currency of such entities, and are translated to euros at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences generated during this conversion are recorded under the heading "Currency conversion adjustments".

2.10 - Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement for the period to which they relate, except insofar as the financial costs of the loans obtained are directly related with the acquisition, construction and production of assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the costs of the assets. The capitalisation of these costs begins after the start of the preparation of the activities of construction or development of the assets and is interrupted after the start of use or the end of production or construction of the assets or when the respective project is suspended. Any financial income generated by loans obtained in advance and allocated to a specific investment are deducted from the financial costs elegible for capitalisation.

2.11 - Subsidies

Government subsidies are recognised in accordance with their fair value when there is a reasonable guarantee that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions required for their concession.

Operating subsidies, namely for the training of employees, are recognised in the income statement in accordance with the costs incurred.

Investment subsidies relating to the acquisition of tangible fixed assets are recorded in the headings of "Other current liabilities" and ''Other non-current liabilities'' (as applicable) and are credited to the income statement on a consistent straightline basis in proportion to the depreciation of the subsidised assets.

2.12 - Inventories

Merchandise and raw materials are recorded at average acquisition cost.

Finished and semi-finished products and work in progress are stated at weighted average production cost, which includes the cost of the raw materials incorporated, labour and production overheads (considering the depreciation of productive equipment calculated according to normal levels of usage), which is lower than the net realisable value. The net realisable value corresponds to the normal sales price deducted by the costs of finishing the production and the marketing costs.

The difference between the cost value and the value of realisation of the inventories, when the latter is lower than cost, results in the recording of impairment losses in inventories.

2.13 - Provisions

Provisions are recognised when and only when: i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) arising from a past event; ii) when it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle this obligation and iii) the amount of this obligation may be reasonably estimated. The provisions are reviewed on the date of each balance sheet and are adjusted so as to reflect the best estimate on that date.

Provisions for restructuring costs are recognised by the Group whenever there is a formal detailed restructuring plan which has been communicated to the parties involved.

2.14 - Segmental reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations involved in the provision of products and services subject to risks and benefits that are different from other business segments. A geographic segment is a group of assets and operations involved in the provision of products and services in a specific economic environment, which is subject to risks and benefits different from those that affect segments that operate in other economic environments.

The Group presents as operational segments the business segments, similarly to the way in which Management conducts its business.

2.15 - Net operating income

Net operating income includes operating income and expenses, whether recurring or not, including restructuring costs and income and expenses associated to operating assets (tangible fixed assets and other intangible assets). It also includes the gains or losses on the sale of companies consolidated using the full or proportional integration method. In this way, net financial expenses, share of results of associate companies, other financial investments and income tax, are excluded from net operating income.

2.16 - Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual relationship.

a) Cash and equivalent

The amounts included in the heading Cash and equivalent correspond to the values of cash, bank deposits, term deposits and other treasury applications, with less than three months of maturity, and which can be immediately mobilised with an insignificant risk of a change in value.

b) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are measured at fair value when they are initially recognised and are subsequently stated at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. When there is evidence that the accounts receivable are impaired, the corresponding adjustment is recorded by corresponding charge to the income statement. The adjustment is recognised and measured by the difference between the book value of the accounts receivable and the present value of the cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate determined upon initial recognition of the accounts receivable.

c) Investments

Investments are recognised on the date when the risks and advantages inherent to them are substantially transferred. They are initially recorded at their acquisition value, which is the fair value of the price paid including transaction expenses.

The financial assets available for sale are financial investments that are available for sale and ae classified as non-current assets.

After initial recognition, the financial assets available for sale are measured by reference to their market value at the balance sheet date, with no deduction for transaction costs that could arise up to the date of their sale. Gains or losses due to changes in the fair value are recorded in equity, under the heading ''Fair value reserve'' until the investment is sold, collected or in any other way realised, or where impairment losses are believed to exist, in which case the accumulated gain or loss is recorded in the income statement.

The financial assets available for sale in equity instruments that do not have a market price listed in an active market and whose fair value can not be reliably measured are designated as "Other investments". Other investments have been measured by their acquisition cost less any losses due to accumulated impairment.

d) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified in accordance with the substance of the contract independently of their legal form. Equity instruments are contracts that have a residual interest in the Group's assets after deduction of the liabilities.

Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the amount received net of costs incurred to issue them.

e) Accounts payable

Accounts payable are measured at fair value when they are initially recognised and are subsequently stated at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method less estimated impairment losses.

f) Bank loans

Loans are initially recorded and recognised as liabilities at the nominal value received, net of loan issuing costs and subsequently measured by the amortised cost method. Financial costs, calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate and including premiums payable, are accounted for in accordance with the accrual accounting principle, being added to the book value of the loan if they are not settled during the financial year.

g) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group resorts to financial derivative instruments to hedge the financial risks to which it is exposed as a result of changes in interest rates. In this sense, the Group does not resort to financial derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

The Group resorts to financial derivative instruments in accordance with internal policies set and approved by the Board of Directors.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at their respective fair value. The method of recognition depends on the nature and objective of the transaction.

Hedge accounting

The possibility of naming a derivative financial instrument as a hedging instrument follows the provisions of IAS 39 – Financial instruments: recognition and measurement ("IAS 39"), namely relative to the respective documentation and effectiveness.

The variations in the fair value of the financial instruments called fair value hedges are recognised as financial net income for the period as well as alterations in the fair value of the asset or liability subject to that risk.

The variations in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments called cash flow hedges are recorded under "Other reserves" in their effective component and, under financial net income in their non-effective component. The values recorded under "Other reserves" are transferred to the financial net income in the period for which the hedged item also has an effect on the net income.

Changes in the value of derivative financial instruments hedging net investments in a foreign entity, are recorded in "Currency conversion adjustments" as regards their effective component. The non-effective component of such changes is recognised immediately as financial income or expenses for the period. If the hedging instrument is not a derivative, the corresponding variations resulting from changes in the exchange rate are recorded in the heading "Currency conversion adjustments". Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument matures, is sold or exercised, or when the hedging relationship ceases to comply with the requirements of IAS 39.

Trading instruments

Regarding derivative financial instruments which, although contracted for the purpose of carrying out economic hedging in accordance with the company's risk management policies, do not comply with all the provisions of IAS 39 relative to the possibility of qualifying as hedges for accounting purposes, the respective variations in their fair value are recorded in the income statement of the period when they occur.

2.17 - Liabilities related to pensions

The Group provides its employees with retirement insurance.

This insurance was established within the scope of a social and incentive policy for workers and is of the exclusive initiative of the participated companies where those benefits are attributed. Characterised by its optional nature, it is by exclusive decision of the respective boards that the adequate contributions are made at each moment, taking into consideration the performance and the economic and financial situation. In this way, the contributions made by the Group are recorded as a cost on the date they are due.

Without prejudice to its optional nature, the provision of the contributions made by the Group are exclusively in accordance with applicable tax legislation.

2.18 - Income tax

Tax on income for the period is calculated based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation and takes into consideration deferred taxation.

Current income tax is calculated based on taxable net income (which differs from the book value net income) of the companies included in the consolidation in accordance with the tax rules in force at the location of the head office of each company of the Group.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and assessed periodically attending to the temporary differences between the assets and liabilities book values and the corresponding values for tax purposes, as well as the values arising from obtained tax benefits.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and evaluated periodically using the tax rates that are expected to be in force on the date of the reversion of the temporary differences and which are not subject to discounting.

Deferred tax assets are only recorded when there is reasonable expectation that sufficient taxable profits will exist to use them. A reappraisal of the temporary differences underlying the deferred tax assets is made at the balance sheet date, so as to recognise or adjust them based on the current expectation of their future recovery.

2.19 - Contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements, but are disclosed in the explanatory notes when it is likely that there will be a future economic benefit.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of funds affecting future economic benefits is remote, in which case they are not subject to disclosure.

2.20 - Income recognition and accruals basis

Sales

Income resulting from the sales is recognised in the income statement when the following conditions are met:

  • The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of assets;
  • The Group does not maintain continued management involvement generally associated to the ownership or effective control of the assets sold;
  • The amount of income can be reasonably quantified;
  • It is likely that the economic benefits associated to the transactions will flow to the Group; and
  • The costs incurred or to be incurred relating to the transaction can be reasonably quantified.

Sales are recognised net of taxes, discounts and other costs incurred to realise them, by the fair value of the amount received or receivable.

Services rendered

Income from services rendered is recognised in the income statement with reference to the phase of completion of the services rendered at the balance shet date.

Whenever the result of a construction contract can be reasonably estimated, the corresponding income and costs are recognised in accordance with the percentage completion, as laid down in IAS 11 - Construction contracts ("IAS 11"). Under this method, income directly related to works in progress are recognised in the income statement in accordance with their percentage completion, which is determined by the ratio between the costs incurred and the estimated total costs of the works (costs incurred plus costs to be incurred). The differences between the income calculated through the application of this method and the turnover issued are accounted for under the headings "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities", according to the nature of the differences.

The variations in contracted works, complaints and premiums are considered as and when agreed and whenever their quantification is possible with sufficient reliability.

For the result of a contract to be reliably estimated, it is necessary that the following conditions be met:

  • It is likely that the Group obtains the economic benefits foreseen in the contract;
  • The costs of the contract are identifiable and can be reliably quantified;

  • At the balance sheet date it must be possible to quantify with sufficient reliability the costs necessary to complete the construction, as well as its degree of completion, so that the real costs incurred can be compared with the initial estimates.

To meet the costs to be incurred during the guarantee period of the works, the Group recognises a liability to meet this risk, which is determined by taking into account annual production and the history of costs incurred in the past with works within the guarantee period.

When it is likely that costs will exceed the income of the contract, the foreseen loss is recognised in the income statement of the period in which it is foreseen.

Accrual accounting principle

Income and costs are recorded in accordance with the accrual accounting principle, such that they are recognised as they are generated. The unknown real value of the costs and income are estimated.

The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and costs are recorded under the headings Other assets (current and non-current) and Other liabilities (current and non-current).

2.21 – Service concessions

The activities developed under public service concession contracts are accounted for in accordance with IFRIC 12 - Service concession arrangements ("IFRIC 12"), which establishes the provisions to be applied in the measurement, recognition, presentation and dissemination of activities developed under public service concession contracts.

2.22 - Impairment of financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group analyses if there is any indication that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired.

Financial assets available for sale

For the financial assets classified as available for sale, a continuous or a significant decline in the fair value of the instrument below its cost, is considered as an indicator of impairment. If such evidence exists for financial assets classified as available for sale, the cumulative loss -- measured as the difference between the asset's acquisition cost and the present fair value, less any impairment loss already recognised in profit and loss -- is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairments relating to investments in equity instruments available for sale are not reversed through the income statement.

Clients, debtors and other financial assets

Impairment losses are recorded whenever there are clear indicators that the Group will not be able to collect all the amounts it should receive, according to the terms established by the contracted agreements. To identify these losses, several indicators are used, such as:

  • accounts receivable ageing;
  • debtor's financial difficulties;
  • debtor's bankruptcy probability.

Impairment losses are measured by the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the financial asset and recognised as an expense in the income statement. Whenever a certain amount is considered as uncollectible it is removed through the use of the respective impairment account. Subsequent recovery of these amounts is recorded in the income statement.

2.23 - Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated dividing the result attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company, by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the period.

The diluted earnings per share are calculated dividing the result attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company, by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the period, adjusted by potential ordinary diluting shares.

Potential ordinary diluting shares can result from options over shares and other financial instruments issued by the Group, convertible to shares of the Company.

2.24 - Subsequent events

Events that occur after the balance sheet date which provide additional information on the conditions existing on the balance sheet date are adequately reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

Events after the balance sheet date which provide information on the conditions which occur after the balance sheet, are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements (Note 25).

3 - ALTERATIONS OF POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND ERRORS

During the quarter ended 30 September 2010, there were no alterations to the accounting policies considered in the preparation of the financial information of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. relative to the financial year ended 31 December 2009 and referred to in the respective notes, and no material errors were registered or alterations made to the accounting estimates relative to previous years.

10 - INCOME TAX

The participated company Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and most of its participated companies in Portugal are subject to Corporate Income Tax (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas - IRC) at the rate of 12.5% of taxable profit up to 12,500 euros, with the rate of 25% being applicable for the rest of the taxable profit. In addition to Corporate Income Tax, the Municipal Tax (Derrama) is also applied on taxable profit and its rate may vary up to a maximum of 1.5% on the taxable profit that exceeds the amount of 2,000,000.00 euros, as well as autonomous taxation on costs and at the rates established in article 88 of the IRC Code. In the calculation of the taxable amount, to which the abovementioned tax rates are applied, the non-acceptable amounts for tax purposes are added and subtracted from the book value results. These differences between the book value results and the results for tax purposes may be of a temporary or permanent nature.

Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and the participated companies at least 90% held, located in Portugal, are subject to the special taxation regime of groups of companies (since the financial year of 2003). This regime consists in the aggregation of the taxable profits of all the companies included in the consolidation perimeter, as established in article 69 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, less dividends distributed among them and included in the respective tax bases, with the Corporate Income Tax rates, increased by the individually determined Municipal and State Taxes, being then applied to the overall result thus obtained, following deduction of the tax losses, in accordance with articles 52 and 71 of the IRC Code.

In accordance with the legislation in force, tax statements are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (ten years for Social Security, up to 2000, inclusive, and five years as of 2001), except in cases of tax losses, concessions of tax benefits, or inspections, complaints or impugnations are in progress, in which case, depending on the circumstances, the periods of time are prolonged or suspended. Hence, the Group's tax statements for the years from 2006 to 2009 may still be subject to review.

The Board of Directors believes that any corrections which might arise from any tax reviews/inspections to these tax statements should not significantly affect the financial statements as at 30 September 2010.

The Group records deferred taxes corresponding to the temporary differences between the book value of the assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax base, as laid down in IAS 12 - Income Tax (Note 18).

The tax charge registered for the nine months and quarter ended 30 September 2010 may be presented as follows:

30
September 3rd Quarter
2010 of 2010
Current tax:
Income tax in Portugal 14,173 5,686

19,521 6,843
Deferred tax (Note 18): (5,498) 2,719
14,023 9,562

In addition to the amounts of deferred taxes recorded directly in the income statement, deferred taxes amounting to 4,937 thousand euros were recorded directly in equity, on 30 September 2010 (Note 18).

11 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The earnings per share for the nine months and quarter ended 30 September 2010 were calculated taking into consideration the following amounts:

14 - INVESTMENT PROPERTY

During the period ended 30 September 2010, the movement which occurred in investment property was as follows:

2010
492,066
(1,809)
760
6,104
122
497,243

The income gained from investment property arising from operating leasing contracts reached 21,412 thousand euros in the period ended 30 September 2010. For the period ended 30 September 2010, direct operating costs related to investment property reached 4,612 thousand euros.

The fair value of each operational investment property is periodically determined through an assessment, in some cases made by specialised and independent entities and in accordance with the evaluation methodologies generally accepted for the real estate market, namely income methods, comparatively with market prices or replacement costs, depending on the specific situations of each property.

In the remaining cases, the determination of the market value is carried out internally, based on criteria similar to those considered by external evaluators, taking into account the expected discounted cash flows.

The main assumptions and methods inherent to the evaluations supporting the market value of the investment properties are as follows:

  • Yield between 7% and 10%;
  • Average of the comparative method and income multiples;
  • Average of the comparative method and cost.

IAS 40 does not require the fair value of investment properties to be determined based on an evaluation made by an independent evaluator. However, approximately 85% of the fair value of the Group's investment properties is determined through independent evaluators with relevant and recognised professional qualifications (registered at the CMVM) and with recent experience in the location and category of the investment properties valued. These evaluators used methodologies currently applied in this market, based on the use of the income method, replacement cost method or market price comparisons, according to the specific situation of each property. In the case under consideration where the assets are leased, the income method was used, but also taking into consideration the rest of the methods for the evaluation of the reasonableness of the results achieved through his method. According to this method, the income of the current leasing contracts under the current conditions was used and, once the period of these contracts ended, a yield adapted to each property was used. For the rest of the evaluations carried out internally, yields adapted according to the indications given by independent professionals were used.
