I. INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of Teixeira Duarte, S.A. (TD,SA), in compliance with the regulatory and legal framework for publicly traded companies, has the pleasure to present its management report for the financial year 2010.
During 2010, TD,SA became the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, and before the closing of the financial year had acquired the ownership of 100% of the share capital of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. (TD-EC), which, in turn, thereafter no longer trades its shares on regulated markets.
In this context, the present report will address the consolidated activity of TD,SA as leader of the Business Group comprising the universe of holdings identified in the "Table of the Teixeira Duarte Group - 2010" presented on the preliminary pages, and will disclose only brief notes on the Company in its individual capacity, namely with respect to the proposal for the appropriation of profit.
Since each of these units has its own management bodies, which report on their individual activities, this document will provide only some observations for the purpose of allowing for a better perspective of the Group as a whole.
In this context and in order to assess the development of the activity of these companies more appropriately, note will also be made, where justified, of some of their individual economic and financial indicators.
The most appropriate way of presenting the topics object of the present Report will be to start with a brief description of the economic background, followed by an overall assessment of the action of the Teixeira Duarte Group, focusing on the most significant aspects of the Corporate Centre and in a consolidated perspective.
The subsequent chapters will address the Group's different activity sectors, with an analysis of the respective performance over 2010, distinguishing for each the main markets of action, in particular the Construction area which is the core business of the Group.
Reference will also be made to the strategic stakes held in listed companies during 2010, that is CIMPOR – Cimentos de Portugal – SGPS, S.A., Banco Comercial Português, S.A. and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A..
The significant events that took place between the end of the financial year and the date on which this Report was prepared will then be described, followed by the outlook for 2011, currently in progress, ending with the proposal for the appropriation of profit.
Attached to this document are, under the applicable legislation, the detailed report on the Company’s structure and corporate governance practices (prepared in compliance with article 245-A of the Securities Market Code and with CMVM Regulation number 1/2007), as well as information relative to the stake in the share capital of TD,SA (namely in accordance with articles 447 and 448 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code and CMVM Regulation number 5/2008).
Moreover, this report also includes the individual and consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, as well as the corresponding Reports and Opinions by the Audit Bodies, the Legal Certification of Accounts and the Audit Report prepared by an auditor registered at the CMVM.
Pursuant to sub-paragraph c) of number 1 of article 245 of the Securities Market Code, the undersigned state that, to the best of their knowledge, the Management Report, annual accounts, legal certification of accounts and other documents presenting the accounts were prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, giving a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial situation and WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 12 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010
results of TD,SA and the companies included in the consolidation perimeter, as well as faithfully presenting the evolution of the businesses, performance and position of each of these entities, containing a description of the main risks and uncertainties facing them.
NOTE: on the attached financial statements and indicators provided in the text of the actual management report:
The financial statements of TD,SA as at 31 December 2009 include the consolidation through the full method of the assets and liabilities of the entities and holdings owned directly and indirectly by TD-EC, which are now consolidated by TD,SA.
However, and since TD,SA was constituted on 30 November 2009, the consolidated income statement for that year include only the net income observed during the period between the above date of constitution and 31 December of the same year.
Therefore, while the consolidated statement of the financial position of TD,SA reported as at 31 December 2009 are comparable with that of 2010, the consolidated statements of income, full income, changes in equity and cash flows do not include comparable data. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements of the Teixeira Duarte Group for the year ended on 31 December 2009 are available on the Company's website (www.teixeiraduarte.pt).
However, and only in the Management Report, the indicators of the consolidated financial statements of TD-EC are presented for 2009, re- stated in accordance with IFRIC 12, solely for the purpose of comparison with the consolidated financial statements of TD,SA for 2010, thus allowing for an assessment of the evolution and performance of the Teixeira Duarte Group.
II. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
During the year, the national economy lived under the threat of a sharp reduction in GDP, with most economic indicators confirming the continuation of the recession.
By contrast, and in spite of the international crisis, the truth is that good performance has been recorded in the foreign markets where the Teixeira Duarte Group companies operate, as was the case in Angola, Algeria, Brazil and Mozambique, which are considered strategic markets for development abroad.
III. GENERAL OVERVIEW
- FINANCIAL OVERVIEW:
In compliance with the legal provisions, the consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS).
TD,SA was constituted on 30 November 2009, but was only listed on the stock market in August 2010 and it was only in December 2010 that TD,SA acquired 100% of the share capital social of TD-EC, replacing this entity as the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.

Even so, these more significant reductions were compensated by the good performance achieved in Concessions and Services 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 and in Energy, as well as by the increase of this indicator in the Distribution sector.

The financial results were negative by EUR 17,680 thousand, compared with the negative results of EUR 5,368 thousand in the previous year.
It is particularly significant that the reduction of the total debt and average interest rate level led to a decrease in financial charges of 21.3% compared with the same period of the previous year.
In this regard, it should also be noted that the appropriation of the net income of the holding in CIMPOR – Cimentos de Portugal, SGPS, S.A. (estimated up to the date of its disposal) and the respective sale contributed positively to the financial results (Net income relative to associated companies) by EUR 80,420 thousand. This indicator was also influenced, to the value of EUR 14,994 thousand, by the positive exchange rate effect of the appreciation of the Currencies with which the Group operates relative to the Euro, as well as by the recording of an impairment loss (Gains/losses in the measurement of assets available for sale) in the stake held in Banco Comercial Português, S.A., to the value of EUR 73,599 thousand.

The Company's objectives and policies with respect to financial risks are described in Note 42 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Although there were no alterations to the consolidation perimeter during 2010, the following operations took place with entities of the Teixeira Duarte group during the year:
- Extinction of TDCIM-SGPS, S.A. through its incorporation into another sub-holding of the Teixeira Duarte Group, TEDAL-Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A.; WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 18 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010
- Extinction of the Macau Delegation of Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A.;
- Extinction of PETROSÓRIO – Combustíveis e Lubrificantes, S.A., through dissolution;
- Extinction of TCM – Transportes Centrais de Matosinhos, Lda., through dissolution;
- Disposal of the holding in CONSTRULINK – Tecnologias de Informação, S.A..
- ORGANISATIONAL OVERVIEW:
Notwithstanding a more detailed description of this matter in the attached "Corporate Governance Report", it is important to note at this point, with respect to the performance of the Teixeira Duarte Group in the different business sectors and markets, the close collaboration between all the structures, identified in the beginning of this Report, as well as the added value arising from these synergies, which are reflected in the privileged and efficient means of achieving collectively undertaken objectives.
Particular note should be made, on the one hand, of the existence, in the context of the Group, of Central Departments with special responsibilities of transversal support to the actions developed in the different activity sectors, integrated in the Corporate Centre, entrusted with promoting a standardisation of procedures and providing support to the structures operating abroad in these areas common to various businesses.
The Group's Operating Structures are organised by Activity Sector and tend to cover responsibility for all the teams and operations of these business areas, independently of the geographical market in which they operate, thus also acting to draw the technical and human central resources of the Group closer to those operating in the different markets of the Teixeira Duarte Group.
Even so, it should be noted that occasionally some companies integrated in the Group, in view of the particularity of their business, maintain their respective specificity, especially in the Construction and, Concessions and Services sectors.
Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções, S.A., as the leading company of the Group in the Construction sector, develops its activity through Operating Centres, which divide up the production areas and are essential in the training of the senior management and in the follow-up of their career, as well as through a series of Central Departments with specific scope of action in terms of specialised support to the Operating Centres, in particular in the areas of Studies, Projects and Equipment.
Regarding its human resources policy, Teixeira Duarte 13,157 13,530 follows strict action in relation to the adequacy of the 13,036 number of employees to the activity developed in the 10,717 different sectors and markets. At the end of this year there Evolution of the Average Number of Employees was a reduction of 5.6% in the total number of employees 7,774 compared with 31 December 2009, which decreased from 13,092 to 12,360.
This reduction results, essentially, from the decrease observed in the Construction sector in Angola and Algeria.

During the year under analysis, the processes were continued for obtaining, monitoring or renewing Management System certifications of the different companies of the Group, in the fields of Safety, Quality, Environment, Social Responsibility and Research, Development and Innovation.
In this context, it is appropriate to mention the objective of the Teixeira Duarte Group in pursuing the development of the concept of Sustainability, which, on the one hand, implies the 32.99 of the different aspects of procedures and their systematisation throughout the various structures comprising the entities of the Group and, on the other hand, will enable the Teixeira Duarte Group to have its own sustainability report, constituting an instrument recognised in the market and certifying respect for the sustainability criteria as well as the future commitments undertaken in this area.
The Central IT Department has optimised the Information Systems, achieving notable improvements in the more efficient use of the potential of the SAP platform, extending its use to new companies, some of which are situated in new geographical areas and different market segments, with the objective of achieving the overall coverage of the Group's businesses.
Technical conditions were created for the remote use of the existing platforms, enabling further adaptability of the resource use and improved productivity through the use of the synergies of operation.
Focus was maintained on the security of the systems and the monitoring effort was intensified, with the objective of minimising operating risks and ensuring a high level of availability.
Particular attention was given to the resizing and renewal of the existing communication networks, with the final decision having been made to implement a unified voice and data network, capable of ensuring greater flexibility, security and maintenance simplicity. The implementation process will take place next year.
The Corporate Portal showed an notable evolution with the addition of new functionalities and applications, contributing to greater fluidity in the circulation of information, and progressively becoming a collaborative work platform, able to contribute effectively, amongst others, to the minimisation of the impact of geographical barriers.
- CORPORATE OVERVIEW:
In the area of compliance with all the corporate obligations, namely as an entity issuing tradable securities on regulated markets, note should be made of the public disclosure of a great variety of information by TD,SA in 2010.
- Alterations to the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors of TD,SA, initially composed of 8 members, is currently composed of only seven members, following the resignation from the position of Director presented by Mr. João Salvador dos Santos Matias, on 23 February 2010, due to completing the age of 65, and who is now a member of the group of Coordinators/Consultants, formed by employees who have provided many years of good service to the Group.
- Corporate Restructuring:
Note should be made of the development of the Group's corporate restructuring process, started on 17 December 2009, the main objectives of which are the essential concentration of TD-EC in its core business activity, that is, the exercise of the civil construction and public works industry, in all its areas and related activities, and its replacement by TD,SA as the leading listed company of the Group. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 20 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010
Hence, and after the first prior concentration - at the end of 2009 - of 68.54% of the share capital of TD-EC in TD,SA, there was an public takeover bid, in the form of a public exchange offer for the entirety of the remaining share capital of TD-EC, which was held between 19 July and 6 August 2010.
Following this acquisition, TD,SA increased the share capital to EUR 406,360,199, becoming the owner of 96.75% of the share capital of TD-EC.
After the conclusion of the above operation, the shares of TD,SA were listed for trading on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon as of 16 August, and on 21 September 2010 the shares of TD-EC were excluded from trading on that market, following the application for the loss of its status as a public company and their respective granting by the CMVM and Euronext Lisbon on this matter.
From then on, TD,SA replaced TD-EC as the leading listed company of the Teixeira Duarte Group.
Subsequently and with a view to the acquisition of the remaining shares of TD-EC that had not been acquired under the prior concentration and/or public exchange offer, on 26 November 2011 TD,SA presented an acquisition offer aimed at the total control of TD-EC, under the terms established in article 490 of the Commercial Companies Code, composed of the exchange of one TD,SA share for every TD-EC share delivered.
Once this phase of the use of the potestative acquisition mechanism had finalised, TD,SA thus became the owner of 100% of the share capital of TD-EC, that is, of all the 420,000,000 shares representing its share capital.
Subsequently, on 23 December 2010, TD,SA deliberated the increase of its share capital of EUR 406,360,199 to EUR 420,000,000.
Therefore, and to summarise:
a) TD,SA acquired 100% of the share capital of TD-EC and replaced this entity as the leading listed Company of the Teixeira Duarte Group;
b) TD,SA currently has a share capital of EUR 420,000,000 represented by 420,000,000 shares with the nominal value of EUR 1.00 each, all of which are tradable on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon.
- General Meetings of Shareholders:
The General Meeting was held four times during 2010.
The Annual General Meeting of 27 May was suspended regarding the second point on the agenda - deliberation on the proposal for the appropriation of profit -, due to the commitment to the objective of distributing dividends also to the shareholders of TD-EC which, under the Public Exchange Offer, would participate in the operation, by exchanging their shares for TD,SA shares and at that time this process for the Public Exchange Offer was still in progress.
Therefore, the General Meeting was resumed on 26 July, when the work relative to this point on the agenda were once again suspended, because the said process for the Public Exchange Offer had not yet been concluded. The work on this matter was then resumed on 6 September, on which date the above proposal was approved by all the shareholders.
The General Meeting was held again on 23 December 2010, when the deliberations approved the proposals related to the increase of the share capital of TD,SA of EUR 406,360,199 to EUR 420,000,000, altered the Articles of Association to ensure their conformity with the new legislative framework relative to companies listed for trading on regulated markets, and maintained the total control of TD-EC.
- Payment of Dividends:
As a consequence of the abovementioned deliberations taken at the General Meeting regarding the appropriation of the profit relative to the financial year 2009, as of 23 September 2010 the dividend was paid corresponding to one Euro cent for each share representing the share capital of TD,SA.

In the Geotechnical and Rehabilitation area, developed at TD-EC by Geotechnical and Rehabilitation Operating Centre, the there was an overall decrease in the Group's production in the markets in which it operates.
In Portugal, income fell by 20% due not only to the end of some major works, but also and essentially as a result of the retraction in investment which was felt in a more immediate manner in the reduction of geotechnical and foundation activity.
In particular, in the geotechnical and foundation area, the execution of the retaining walls of the "Tidal Lock Systems of Terreiro do Paço - Cais do Sodré" for Simtejo, the execution of various works in the Douro Litoral Concession, namely the "Cargo Transfer Platforms" through jet grouting and the "Portal of the Seixo Alvo Tunnel" and, for Metropolitano de Lisboa, the conclusion of the foundation works using piles and sprayed concrete in the Stations of Amadora Este and Reboleira, of the Blue Line.
Even so, in the rehabilitation area, the Group managed to increase production in various areas of this speciality, and likewise, also continued WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 24 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010

However, it is important to mention the execution of the foundations, through piling, in the contract work for the National Assembly of Angola, as well as the conclusion of the works for the retaining walls, general excavation and soil consolidation in "Edifícios GES 2,3 and 4" for ESCOM and the beginning of the execution of speciality works in the Rehabilitation of the "Pier of the Commercial Port of Luanda".
Brazil is a market undergoing expansion, where Teixeira Duarte believes that it can make the best of the synergies of its local structures combined with the knowledge and experience of the Group in this specific area of Construction.
In Spain, in the geotechnical and foundation area, note should be made of the conclusion of the foundation work through piling of "Metro de Granada" for Ferrovial-Agroman, as well as the execution of the retaining walls, of great thickness, in the work "Tuneles Norte SE40" in Seville, for the UTE formed by the companies Sando-OHL-Azvi.

São João Hospital - Construction of floors 3, 4 and 5 eastwards IMOFARMA - Porto Business and Porto Technological Complex
In Mozambique, the recognition by the local market of the implementation capacity of Teixeira Duarte has led to the award and beginning of important construction works, which has been reflected immediately in the action of this geotechnical and foundations area, as well as in the rehabilitation area, with this latter involved in major works concerning the bridges of Tete and the Island of Mozambique.
In the Buildings area, the Group operates through the operating centre of TD-EC, as well as through other companies which also operate in markets abroad.
In spite of the extremely strong decline of this activity area in Portugal, Teixeira Duarte maintains similar levels of production, essentially as a result of its exposure to markets undergoing growth such as the Angola, Brazilian and Mozambican.
Therefore, in Portugal special note should be made of the school and hospital construction work, as well as the conclusion of buildings integrated in real estate projects of the actual Teixeira Duarte Group.
This applies to the rehabilitation and expansion work of the Alberto Sampaio Secondary School in Braga, the Camilo Castelo Branco Secondary School in Famalicão and the Águas Santas Secondary School in Maia, as well as the finishing and special facilities for the future Lisbon Hotel School and the Restoration and Rehabilitation works, phase I, in Palácio Valadares in Lisbon, all regarding education establishments.
In the hospital area, mention should be made of the conclusion of various contract works for São João Hospital in Porto, as well as the conclusion of Cascais Hospital.

In Angola, the activity increased slightly, where note should be made of the construction of various bank branches, the head office building of CABGOC, corresponding to major and demanding construction work, the conclusion of the 1st phase of the São Francisco de Assis College in Talatona for a company of the Teixeira Duarte Group, as well as the conclusion of the premises for the National Road and Traffic Department in Luanda for the National Reconstruction Bureau and the Secure Information Technology Centre of EMIS (Empresa Interbancária de Serviços).
For ESCOM, Teixeira Duarte continued the contract work in progress and started the structure and finishing of three very large buildings, namely in terms of height, and started the construction of the head office building of the National Assembly of Angola, for the National Reconstruction Bureau, a construction work of great impact and which is progressing at a good rate.
In Brazil, in this area, the Group operated through the local subsidiary EMPA, S/A in the management of important construction works for real estate developers integrated in the Teixeira Duarte Group in São Paulo, in particular Family Santana, composed of four hundred apartments in four tower blocks of twenty-five floors, as well as Quartier, composed of two tower blocks with two hundred apartments.
Since this is a market with so many opportunities, the Group believes there is potential for its major growth in this area, which stimulates Teixeira Duarte to pursue increasing its size so as to be able to meet new challenges.
In Spain, the Group accompanies the strong fall in activity which has been experienced in this market, however, even so, particular note should be made, amongst other contract works, of the beginning of the construction of a building in Calle Amália, in Madrid, for the Group's real estate sector.
In Mozambique, Teixeira Duarte maintains a very active profile on the market, which has enabled its income to have increased, pursuing its action amongst multiple public and private entities, in particular the conclusion of the head office of the Ministries of Labour, Civil Service, Tourism and Youth and sports for BCI, as well as the continued execution of the Polytechnic Institute for Agricultural Science of Lionde, for the Ministry of Education and Culture.

In the area of Infrastructures, the Group operates through the operating centre of TD-EC, as well as through other companies which also operate in markets abroad.
In 2010, the income obtained by the Group in this area increased strongly, reflecting the higher level of activity in Portugal and Brazil.
On the national market, this growth was essentially the result of the construction of the Douro Litoral motorway, in particular the execution works of the metropolitan railway station of Reboleira, the Baixo Tejo motorway, the flood spillway of Paradela Dam, the Cais do Sodré/Alcântara WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 28 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010

In Brazil, there was an increase of the activity in this area of infrastructures, in particular regarding the construction of three PCH (small hydroelectric plants) in the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as various road works.
In Mozambique, Teixeira Duarte achieved a good level of activity, essentially with the execution of the contract work for the Rehabilitation of Samora Machel Bridge over the River Zambeze in Tete and the Bridge and Jetty of the Island of Mozambique.
In Venezuela, efforts were pursued with a view to the execution of major contract works which will enable the direct action of TD-EC in this country, where the Group has also operated through the local subsidiary TEGAVEN, CA for over 30 years.
In the area of underground works in Portugal, the subsidiary E.P.O.S. – Empresa Portuguesa de Obras Subterrâneas, S.A., 100% owned by the Teixeira Duarte Group increased its activity, in particular regarding the development works for the mining infrastructure of Neves Corvo, participation in underground works for the Douro Litoral concession and for Reboleira metropolitan railway station in Lisbon, various contract works in Madeira and an important subcontract work for the construction of part of Marão Tunnel.

33,080
Evolution of Turnover of Cement, Consolidated Turnover in the Cement, Concrete and Aggregates Concrete and Aggregates sector was EUR 13,176 thousand, reflecting a reduction of
(Values in thousand Euros) 21.8%, as a result of the renewed fall in demand in Ukraine, 16,845 where Teixeira Duarte has its most important production 13,176 unit, and as a consequence of the alteration of the activities of the subsidiaries in Angola, which, in spite of the increase of activity, reduced their contribution to the consolidated turnover by working essentially for TD-EC.
2008 2009 2010

Evolution of EBITDA of Cement, Concrete and Aggregates
(Values in thousand Euros) 1,312 As a result of the considerable reduction in turnover, the associated fixed cost structure and the revaluation of various assets in view of the discontinuation of investment projects, EBITDA were greatly penalised.
(7,416) 2008 2009 2010
In non-consolidated terms and in order to provide an overall view of the total activity during 2010, we disclose that the operating income of the companies of the Group which operate in the Cement, Concrete and Aggregates sector reached the total value of EUR 45,334 thousand, reported exclusively relative to activities developed abroad, representing an increase of 24% compared with 2009.
Regarding the development of the activity, below are brief notes on the production units operating in the markets of China and Ukraine.
- CHINA
In China, the local companies developed various projects to expand their installed capacity, which is currently at 5,270 tons/year, with their own clinker, corresponding to an increase of 93.4% in relation to 2009.
In this context, note should be made of the following facts relative to 2010:
- Finalisation of the construction of the Zaozhuang factory and Huaian mill; WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 32 Management Report of the Board of Directors 2010
- Total sale of cement and clinker increased by 13.7% in relation to 2009, having reached 4.105 million tons;
- Turnover, grew by 30.8%, to stand at EUR 106.1 thousand;
- EBITDA reached the value of EUR 8,900 thousand, corresponding to an increase of 87.7%.
- UKRAINE
The crisis continued to be felt in the cement market of Ukraine where there were still no signs of recovery, but to the contrary an additional fall of 0.7% of volume, with a decrease in average sales prices of 8.3%.
In this context, the turnover of this subsidiary decreased by 6.8% during the year under review, to stand at EUR 10,556 thousand.
During 2010 the new premises of the coal mill were started which implied the replacement of the use of gas as the main fuel, enabling a reduction in the fuel cost in clinker of 28.9% and consequently in the cost of the cement.
Also noteworthy was the continued improvement in the efficiency of this unit in the Ukrainian cement industry in terms of labour productivity (tons of cement/worker), the use of electricity (kwh/tons of cement) and heat energy (kcal/kg of clinker).
IV.3. CONCESSIONS AND SERVICES
The Teixeira Duarte Group began to operate in this area in 1984, in Macau, through a holding in CPM - Companhia de Parques de Macau, S.A. which it still owns and to which it has added, over these twenty five years, others in Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Spain and Mozambique.
Currently, the companies of the Group focus on business areas of different nature, in particular in technology, real estate management, the environment, transport and concessions, namely road.
In this sector, Teixeira Duarte also holds several non-controlling interests in other companies whose management is not conducted by the Group’s structures and which, in almost all cases, are not included in its consolidation perimeter. Some notes are also presented at the end of this chapter on the most important ones.
- OVERVIEW OF THIS SECTOR DURING 2010: 55,934
Evolution of Turnover of 42,139 Concessions and Services Consolidated Turnover in the Concessions and Services sector 33,664 (Values in thousand Euros) continued to increase at a good rate in Portugal, Angola and Spain, having reached EUR 55,934 thousand, reflecting an increase of 32.7% compared to the total figures recorded as at 31 December 2009.

The following entities are part of the abovementioned subsidiaries whose direct management is not carried out by the structures of the Teixeira Duarte Group:
AEDL - Auto-Estradas do Douro Litoral, S.A. is a company in which TD-EC owns a holding of 19.67% of the respective share capital and which signed the Douro Litoral concession contract with the Portuguese State at the end of December 2007.

In spite of the small decrease in revenue of 1.9% and a slight increase in costs, the company achieved a net profit after taxation of EUR 14,372 thousand, 0.02% above its Budget and 2.1% higher than in 2009.
This decrease is essentially explained by the impact of the new accounting rules and by the increased income tax which occurred in 2010.
CPM - Companhia de Parques de Macau, S.A., in which the Teixeira Duarte Group has maintained a stake of 15% of the share capital social since its foundation in the mid-1980's, after the international public tender carried out abroad, was a pioneer and continues to be a reference company in the construction and operation of car parks and related activities, in the Special Administrative Region of Macau, having successfully pursued its operations within the specific parameters of the market.

Overall and adding the significant increase in the counterpart payable to the concession grantor, the new circumstances are penalising for the net operating income.
Even so, this subsidiary recorded a positive net income, and continued its regular contribution to the Teixeira Duarte Group with the distribution of dividends of the value of EUR 271 thousand, compared with the EUR 277 thousand received in the previous year.

IV.4. REAL ESTATE
The operations of the Teixeira Duarte group in this sector go back to the beginning of the 1970's and currently include a vast group of companies, mainly operating in Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Spain and Mozambique.
Over the years, this sector has intervened from the design of masterplans to the rehabilitation of constructed heritage in historic centres. The know-how acquired by these multidisciplinary teams has endowed the sector with tremendous experience in the residential, office, shopping area, hotel, health and leisure, industrial/logistics and public car park segments.
Apart from the promotion of real estate projects, part of the resources of this sector are currently dedicated to the management and expansion of areas allocated to other activities of the Group, in particular in the Construction, Hotel Services, Distribution and Automobile sectors.

While in 2009 the market abroad represented 42%, this year it now represents 53%.
- PORTUGAL
In Portugal, 2010 proved to be a very difficult year for the real estate sector. As a result of the extremely unfavourable economic environment and an aggravation in the conditions of access to credit, most of the sector experienced difficulties in selling the marketed products. This context is expected to continue throughout 2011, and marked improvements are not expected in the short term.
In 2010, the office segment of Greater Lisbon placed a little over 100,000 m2, the lowest absorption level of the last 8 years.
In the residential segment, the economic and financial circumstances of 2010 combined with the saturation of offer in certain locations has hindered actual sales. In this context, families delay purchase decisions and choose to rent; the rental market continues with low rates of return and is, therefore, unattractive to the promoters of new real estate development projects.
Likewise, in the industrial and logistics segment and more particularly in the logistics segment, the demand in 2010 stood at one of its lowest levels of the last decade, with a very low number of transactions having been recorded, even in the main locations.
In view of the current constraints, the maintenance of good sales levels of the assets developed by the Group has been achieved through the zealous work performed by its technical and commercial teams in the definition and implementation of high quality products and in their publicising and marketing.

The development of "Lagoas Park" continued with the conclusion of two new buildings with 20,000 m2 of new office areas, some of which are already occupied by companies such as Brisa, Colgate and Philips.
2010 was the year of the conclusion of the construction of "Villa Park" in Amadora, where the marketing of the residential, office and service components continued and where two structural facilities of the undertaking were inaugurated: a public car park with 228 places and a health club "Club L".
In "Santa Marinha Design District" in Vila Nova de Gaia, various alterations were approved for the development and sales continued both in the residential segment and service segment, in particular with the inauguration of a health club of the British chain Virgin Active in plot V15.
In "Quinta de Cravel", also in Vila Nova de Gaia, a good commercial performance was achieved, with the sale of 85% of the built units which have been marketed, as well as the sale of a plot destined for the installation of a haemodialysis clinic under the brand "Fresenius Medial Care".
In order to improve the operating conditions of various sectors of the Group dedicated to construction, the construction of the new "Teixeira Duarte Operating Centre" started during 2010. Built on a plot of land of 127,000 m2, this facility, with conclusion forecast for April 2011, will enable the integration in a single space of the equipment operations, logistics and various supports to engineering of the Teixeira Duarte Group.

The portfolio of real estate assets of the Teixeira Duarte Group in Angola remained unaltered during 2010, composed of over 30 undertakings with an associated building potential of an area of about 500,000 m2 above the ground.
During this year, the management of the assets in the portfolio continued, with licenses having been applied for concerning five new residential and service projects, covering a total of 200,000 m2 of construction area above the ground.

The construction of two undertakings was continued: "Family Santana", in the Santana region, and "Verdi", in the Alto de Pinheiros region. These undertakings covers a total of approximately 90,000 m2 of construction area.

In view of the expectations of growth of the Brazilian economy, combined with the beautiful natural conditions and great openness and friendliness of its people, there are good prospects for the sustained development of tourism. The project that Teixeira Duarte intends to develop in Porto de Galinhas aims to strengthen the capacity and quality of this recognised tourist centre.
- SPAIN
The Spanish real estate sector continues immersed in a deep crisis, where, for this activity sector, access to bank credit is very restricted. In this economic context good investment opportunities are sometimes detected, therefore we remain attentive to the market.

In spite of the negative economic circumstances in 2010, the main operating indicators of the tourism activity in Portugal showed a positive evolution. However, the significant decrease of the British market, caused mainly by the devaluation of the pound in relation to the Euro, had a negative impact on the hotel sector of the Algarve.
The hotels of the Teixeira Duarte Group in Portugal maintained their occupation rates in spite of the increase of approximately 2.5% of the average price as a result of the increased demand of the corporate segment in some of the Group's hotels.
In the Fitness area, it was possible to maintain the trend of growth in the number of members of both "Club L – Lagoas Park" and “Club L - Arena Health Club" in Torres Vedras, as a result of the quality of the facilities and services.
The new unit "Club L – Villa Park" in Amadora, inaugurated in October 2010 recorded a very positive start-up of activity.

V. HOLDINGS IN LISTED COMPANIES
In 2001 and in the context of the reprivatisation process of CIMPOR – Cimentos de Portugal – SGPS, S.A., Teixeira Duarte became the owner of an important holding in this company, which as at 1 January 2010 came to a total of 22.17% of the respective share capital and which was disposed of during the first quarter of this year.
Teixeira Duarte was a founding shareholder of Banco Comercial Português, S.A. in 1985, having progressively followed the successive increases in share capital and strengthened its strategic stake, and is currently the largest national shareholder of the Bank and second largest in overall terms, with 6.9% of the respective share capital.
The stake owned in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. since 2007, is considered a strategic investment to accompany the development of the Group's activity in Spain.
A. CIMPOR - Cimentos de Portugal - SGPS, S.A.
The year of 2010 began marked by the launch of a Public Takeover Bid for the shares of Cimpor by the Brazilian company CSN, at a time when it was already public knowledge that Teixeira Duarte was no longer the reference shareholder in this subsidiary.
At that time, apart from the different perspectives of the then shareholders of Cimpor, other interests emerged on the part of a further two Brazilian Groups - Camargo Corrêa and Votorantim.
As a result of these positions, on 3 February, Votorantim acquired 17% of the share capital of Cimpor and signed a shareholders' agreement with Caixa Geral de Depósitos, after which, on 10 February, Teixeira Duarte signed a contract with Camargo Corrêa for the sale of all the 148,974,230 shares it owned in Cimpor, at the price of EUR 6.50 per share, amounting to a total of EUR 968,332 thousand.
Therefore, during 2010, Teixeira Duarte appropriated net income of Cimpor, until the date of its sale, of the value of EUR 9,237 thousand and incorporated the resulting capital gains from the sale of this holding, to the value of EUR 71,183 thousand.
This operation enabled Teixeira Duarte to significantly reduce its total debt and strengthen its capacity to invest in other fronts of its activity.
B. Banco Comercial Português, S.A.
Regarding Banco Comercial Português, S.A., it should be noted that at the end of the year, the total number of shares owned by companies in the Teixeira Duarte Group corresponded to 6.9% of the share capital and voting rights of Banco Comercial Português, S.A..
In view of the market value of the shares held as at 31 December 2009 and 31 December 2010, respectively, of EUR 257,716 thousand and EUR 188,859 thousand, it is evident that they devalued by EUR 68,857 thousand.
C. Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.
In 2010, the Teixeira Duarte Group maintained its stake in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., which is a strategic investment in Spain and whose book value, expressed in IFRS, recorded a decrease of 28.7%, standing at EUR 19,361 thousand.

VI. EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD
Teixeira Duarte pursued its activity in the different sectors and markets in which it operates, with there not having been, from the closing of the financial year to the present date, any fact which should be disclosed in this chapter.
VII. OUTLOOK FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2011
For 2011, besides strengthening the position of special caution and vigilance regarding cost containment and the undertaking of investments, Teixeira Duarte will focus its efforts on prudent participation in the main national construction tenders and will continue to pursue the growth of this sector abroad.
The Portfolio of Orders of the Teixeira Duarte Group for the construction sector, which reached the impressive total value of EUR 2,100 million as at 31 December 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.
For 2011, Teixeira Duarte expects to achieve a consolidated operating income of EUR 1,500 million.
VIII. DISTRIBUTION TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Following the contacts established with the Remuneration Committee and in view of the commitment made regarding the distribution to the members of the Board of Directors of part of the profit for the year, and pursuant to the rules currently in force, this amount of EUR 1,500,000 (one million and five hundred thousand Euros) was recorded as a cost for the financial year of 2010, with the consequent reduction of the net profit heading presented in the financial statements attached to this Report and also subject to approval at the General Meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
Pursuant to the applicable provisions, namely article 245-A of the Securities Market Code and Regulation number 1/2010 of the Securities Market Commission (CMVM), TEIXEIRA DUARTE, S.A. (TD,SA) presents its Corporate Governance Report relative to the financial year of 2010, complying with all the requirements of the model attached to the abovementioned Regulation. Whenever deemed necessary and applicable, comments and considerations will be made on the procedures followed by the Company.
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group has, for many years, been concerned with the subject known as Corporate Governance and has adopted practices reflecting values that are currently safeguarded by the regulations on this matter, always being attentive to the development of national and international rules and recommendations.
The Company complies with all its corporate obligations, namely as an issuer of shares listed for trading on regulated markets, and takes on due responsibility to find a balance between the different recommendations issued by the various entities and the Company's reality, its structure, history, markets and operating sectors.
CONTEXT OF THIS 1ST REPORT OF TEIXEIRA DUARTE, S.A.:
In order to contextualise this first Corporate Governance Report issued by TD,SA, it is necessary to recall the development of the Group's corpo- rate restructuring process, started on 17 December 2009, the main objectives of which were the essential concentration of TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. (TD-EC) in its core business activity, that is, the exercise of the civil construction and public works industry, in all its areas and related activities, and its replacement by TD,SA as the leading listed company of the Group.
Hence, and after the first prior concentration - at the end of 2009 - of 68.54% of the share capital of TD-EC in TD,SA, there was an public takeover bid, in the form of a public exchange offer for the entirety of the remaining share capital of TD-EC, which was held between 19 July and 6 August 2010.
Following this acquisition, TD,SA increased the share capital to EUR 406,360,199, becoming the owner of 96.75% of the share capital of TD-EC.
After the conclusion of the above operation, the shares of TD,SA were listed for trading on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon as of 16 August, and on 21 September 2010 the shares of TD-EC were excluded from trading on that market, following the application for the loss of its status as a public company and the respective decisions by the CMVM and Euronext Lisbon on this matter.
From then on, TD,SA replaced TD-EC as the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.
Subsequently and with a view to the acquisition of the remaining shares of TD-EC that had not been acquired under the prior concentration and/or public exchange offer, on 26 November 2011 TD,SA presented an acquisition offer aimed at the total control of TD-EC, under the terms established in article 490 of the Commercial Companies Code, composed of the exchange of one TD,SA share for every TD-EC share delivered.
Once this phase of the use of the potestative acquisition mechanism had finalised, TD,SA became the owner of 100% of the share capital of WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 60 Corporate Governance Report 2010
TD-EC, that is, of all the 420,000,000 shares representing its share capital.
Subsequently, on 23 December 2010, TD,SA deliberated the increase of its share capital of EUR 406,360,199 to EUR 420,000,000.
To summarise: a. TD,SA acquired 100% of the share capital of TD-EC and replaced this entity as the leading listed Company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group; b. TD,SA currently has a share capital of EUR 420,000,000 represented by 420,000,000 shares with the nominal value of EUR 1.00 each, all of which are tradable on the regulated market of Euronext Lisbon.
In view of the above and taking into account that TD,SA is bound only by the duties arising from the fact that its shares have been listed for trading on regulated markets since August of last year, - namely compliance with various recommendations on good practices of corporate governance such as the disclosure of a report on this matter -, there is as yet little reportable information and, therefore, for certain situations it was deemed more appropriate to report facts and data relative to the company which had previously been the leading listed entity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, TD-EC.
STRUCTURE AND ORGANISATION OF THE REPORT:
TD,SA has organised this Report in accordance with the model presented in the Annex to CMVM Regulation number 1/2010, and, through suggestion of the CMVM, has included in Chapter 0 a table describing all of the 54 Recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code issued by this regulating entity, indicating therein which ones have been adopted or not by the Company and also including reference to the points of this text where such matters are addressed or the reason for their non-adoption are explained.
The objectives of these options concerning the structure and inclusion of this table right at the beginning of the text are not only the rigorous compliance with the new rules applicable as of this year, but also our interest in following-up the intention expressed by the CMVM of the standardisation of these Reports and their easier analysis and consultation by the Market.
CHAPTER 0
Compliance Statement
0.1. Indication of the location where the texts on corporate governance codes to which the issuer is subject and, if ap- plicable, those which it has voluntarily chosen to subject itself, are available to the public.
Apart from the applicable rules and regulations, namely the Commercial Companies Code, the Securities Market Code and Regulations of the CMVM, especially Regulation number 1/2010, TD,SA has chosen not adopt any Corporate Governance Code other than that issued by the CMVM on January 2010, which is available for consultation at www.cmvm.pt.

or other that the company has decided to adopt, under the terms of the CMVM Regulation number 1/2010. For the effect, recommendations that are not followed entirely are considered as not adopted.
0.3. Without prejudice to the provisions in the previous number, the company may also make an overall assessment, provided that reasonable grounds are presented, of the degree of adoption of groups of recommendations of interrelated subjects
0.4. When the corporate governance structure or practices differ from the recommendations of the CMVM or other codes to which the company subscribes or has voluntarily adhered, the parts of each code which are not complied with or which the company considers are not applicable should be explained, as well as the respective grounds and other relevant observations, in addition to clear indication of the part of the Report where the description of this situation can be found
Points 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 are developed simultaneously, since they are interrelated.
Among the 54 Recommendations comprising the abovementioned Corporate Governance Code of the CMVM, the Company does not adopt 16 and some of these only partially.
The table below provides the integral reproduction of the text of these Recommendations with the same numbering of the aforementioned Corporate Governance Code, followed by an indication of their adoption or not and reference to the point in this Report where such matter is described or where, observing the principle of "comply or explain", any non-adoption is justified.
Recommendation Adoption Reference The Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting must be provided with the supporting hu- I.1.1 man and logistic resources appropriate to his/her needs, considering the economic situation Yes CHAPTER I of the company. The remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting must be disclosed in I.1.2 Yes I.3 the Annual Corporate Governance Report. I.2 PARTICIPATION IN THE GENERAL MEETING The period of time in given in advance for the receipt, by the Board, of the statements of I.2.1 deposit or blocking of shares for participation in the General Meeting must not exceed five Yes I.4 business days. In the case of the suspension of the General Meeting, the company should not impose the I.2.2 blocking to remain during the entire period until the session is resumed, with the ordinary Yes I.5 period of time in advance required in the first session being sufficient. I.3 VOTING AND THE EXERCISE OF VOTING RIGHTS The companies must not establish any statutory restriction to voting by correspondence and, I.3.1 Yes I.9 when adopted and permissible, to voting through electronic correspondence. The statutory period of time in advance for the receipt of votes issued by correspondence must I.3.2 Yes I.11 not exceed three business days. Companies should ensure proportionality between voting rights and shareholder participa- tion, preferably through a statutory provision according to which one share corresponds to one I.6 I.3.3 vote. Proportionality is not to be followed by companies which, namely: i) have shares which Yes I.7 do not confer the right to vote; ii) establish that rights to vote above a certain number are not to be counted, when issued by a single shareholder or by shareholders related to the former.

This infor- mation must be kept on the company's website for at least three months. I.6 MEASURES RELATIVE TO CORPORATE CONTROL Any measures adopted with a view to preventing the success of public takeover bids should respect the interests of the company and its shareholders. Any articles of association of com- panies which, respecting this principle, set a limit on the number of votes which may be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or jointly with other shareholders, must also I.7 I.6.1 Yes establish the commitment that at least every five years the maintenance or not of this statu- tory provision will be subject to deliberation at the General Meeting – with no requirement of a quorum larger than that legally established – and that in this deliberation all the votes cast will be counted, without the application of the above limit. Defensive measures must not be adopted if they cause an automatic erosion of company as- I.20 sets in the event of the transfer of control or change of the composition of the management I.6.2 Yes I.21 board, thereby jeopardising the free transferability of shares and the free assessment by the I.22 shareholders of the performance of members of the management board. II. MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES II.1 GENERAL SUBJECTS II.1.1 STRUCTURE AND COMPETENCE The management board should assess the adopted model in its annual Governance Report, II.1.1.1 identifying any constraints to its functioning and proposing measures of action that, in its Yes II.1 opinion, are suitable to overcome them. Companies should create internal risk control and management systems to safeguard their value and enhance the transparency of their corporate governance, permitting the identifica- tion and management of risks. These systems should include at least the following compo- nents: i) establishment of strategic corporate objectives on matters of risk-taking; ii) identifi- cation of the main risks related to the specific activity exercised and any events which might imply risks; iii) analysis and measurement of the impact and probability of the occurrence of II.5 II.1.1.2 No each potential risk; iv) risk management with a view to the alignment of the risks effectively incurred with the company's strategic risk-taking; v) mechanisms for the control of the ex- ecution of the adopted risk management measures and their effectiveness; vi) adoption of internal mechanisms of information and communication on the different components of the system and risk warnings; vii) periodic assessment of the implemented system and adoption of any necessary changes. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 63 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The management board should ensure the creation and functioning of the internal control and risk management systems, with the supervisory board being responsible for assessing II.1.1.3 No II.6 the functioning of these systems and proposing any necessary adjustment to the company's needs Companies should, in their annual Corporate Governance Report: i) identify the main eco- II.5 II.1.1.4 nomic, financial and legal risks to which the company is exposed during the exercise of its Yes II.9 activity; ii) describe the action and effectiveness of the risk management system. The management and supervisory bodies must have functioning regulations, which must be II.1.1.5 No II.7 disclosed on the company's website. II.1.2 INCOMPATIBILITIES AND INDEPENDENCE The Board of Directors must include a sufficient number of non-executive members so as II.1 II.1.2.1 guarantee effective capacity to manage, supervise and assess the activities of the executive No II.8 members. Amongst the non-executive Directors, there should be an adequate number of independ- ent Directors, taking into consideration the size of the company and its shareholder structure, II.1 II.1.2.2 No which cannot under any circumstances, be less than one quarter of the total number of Direc- II.8 tors. The assessment of the independence of the non-executive members made by the manage- ment board must take into account the legal and regulatory rules in force on the independ- ence requirements and incompatibility system applicable to members of the other governing II.1 II.1.2.3 Not Applicable bodies, ensuring systematic and temporal coherence in the application of independence crite- II.8 ria to the entire company. A Director should not be considered independent if she/he cannot hold this capacity in another governing body through force of the applicable rules. II.1.3.1 ELIGIBILITY AND APPOINTMENT According to the applicable model, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Audit Committee II.12 II.1.3.1 or Financial Matters Committee must be independent and possess adequate competences to Yes II.13 perform the respective duties. The process of selection of candidates to non-executive Directors must be designed in such a II.1.3.2 Not Applicable II.16 way as to prevent interference by the executive Directors. II.1.4 POLICY ON THE COMMUNICATION OF IRREGULARITIES The company must adopt a policy of communication of any internal irregularities which have allegedly occurred within the organisation, with the following elements: i) indication of the means which may be used for the internal communication of irregular II.1.4.1 Yes II.35 practices, including the persons with legitimacy to receive the communications; ii) indication of the treatment to be made of the communications, including confidential treat- ment, if this is wished by the declarant. II.1.4.2 The general guidelines of this policy must be disclosed in the Corporate Governance Report. Yes II.35 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 64 Corporate Governance Report 2010
II.1.5 REMUNERATION The remuneration of the members of the management board should be structured in order to allow the alignment of their interests with those of the company's long term interests, based on the assessment of performance and discouraging excessive risk-taking. For this effect, the remunerations should be structured as follows: i) The remuneration of the Directors which perform executive duties should include a variable component based on an assessment of performance, carried out by the competent bodies of the company, in accordance with predetermined measurable criteria, which consider the company's real growth and wealth effectively created for the shareholders, its long term sustainability and risks taken, as well as compliance with the rules applicable to the company's activity.

(iii) A significant part of the variable remuneration should be deferred for a period not less than three years, and its payment should be subject to the continued positive performance of II.32 II.1.5.1 No the company over this period. II.33 (iv) The remuneration of the members of the management board should not sign contracts, either with the company or third parties, which have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent to the variability of their remuneration established by the company. (v) Until the end of their term of office, the executive Directors should keep the company shares that they have obtained through variable remuneration schemes, up to the limit of twice the value of the annual total remuneration, with the exception of any which might need to be disposed of in order to pay taxes arising from the benefit of these same shares. (vi) When the variable remuneration includes the attribution of options, the beginning of the period of exercise should be deferred for a period not less than three years. (vii) Appropriate legal instruments should be established so that the compensation set for any form of unfair dismissal of a Director is not paid if the dismissal or termination by agreement is due to the inadequate performance of the Director. (viii) The remuneration of the non-executive members of the management board should not include any component whose value depends on the company's performance or value. The statement on the policy of remuneration of the management and supervisory bodies re- ferred to in article 2 of Law number 28/2009, of 19 June, should, in addition to the content referred to therein, present sufficient information: i) on which groups of companies whose II.1.5.2 Not Applicable II.30 remunerative policy and practices were taken as comparative elements for the establishment of remuneration; ii) on payments relative to dismissal or termination by agreement of the duties of Director.

Likewise, the main characteristics of the retirement benefits scheme established in favour of the members of the administrative and supervisory bodies and other senior managers, should be approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code. At least one representative of the remuneration committee must be present in the General II.1.5.6 Yes I.15 Meeting of Shareholders. The value of the remunerations received, as a whole and individually, from other companies II.30 II.1.5.7 of the group and the pension rights acquired during the year in question must be disclosed in Yes II.31 the annual Corporate Governance Report. II.33 II. 2 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Within the limits established by the Law for each management and supervisory structure, and unless as a result of the small size of the company, the Board of Directors must delegate the II.2.1 No II.3 daily management of the company, with the delegated competences being identified in the annual Corporate Governance Report. The Board of Directors must ensure that the company acts in accordance with its objectives, and must not delegate its competence, namely, with respect to: i) defining the general strategy and policy of the company; II.2.2 Yes II.3 ii) defining the corporate structure of the group; iii) decisions which should be considered strategic due to their value, risk or special charac- teristics. Should the Chairman of the Board of Directors perform executive functions, the Board of Direc- tors must find efficient mechanisms to coordinate the work of the non-executive members, II.2.3 which ensure, in particular, that they can make decisions in an independent and informed Not Applicable II.8 manner. These mechanisms should be duly explained to the shareholders in the Corporate Governance Report. The Annual Management Report should include a description of the activity developed by the II.2.4 Not Applicable II.8 non-executive Directors, in particular referring to any constraints faced. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 66 Corporate Governance Report 2010

WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 67 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The internal audit services and the services ensuring compliance with the rules applied to the company (compliance services) should report functionally to the Audit Committee, General II.4.6 and Supervisory Committee or, in the case of companies adopting the Latin model, to an No II.5 independent Director or the Supervisory Board, independently of the hierarchical relation of these services with the company's executive management. II.5 SPECIALISED COMMITTEES Unless as a result of the small size of the company, the Board of Directors and General and Su- pervisory Board, according to the adopted model, should create the committees which prove necessary to: i) ensure a competent and independent assessment of the performance of the executive Di- rectors and for the assessment of their own overall performance, as well as that of the various II.2 II.5.1 No existing committees; II.36 ii) reflect on the adopted governance system, verify its effectiveness and propose to the com- petent bodies the measures to take with a view to its improvement; iii) identify, in due time, potential candidates with the high profile necessary for the perfor- mance of the duties of Director. The members of the Remuneration Committee or equivalent should be independent from the II.5.2 members of the management board and include at least one member with knowledge and No II.38 experience on matters of remuneration policy. No legal or natural person who has provided, during the last three years, services to the any structure directly under the Board of Directors, to the company's Board of Directors or which/ II.5.3 who has an current relationship with any consultant of the company should be contracted to Not Applicable II.39 support the Remuneration Committee. This recommendation is also applicable to any natural or legal person is related to such persons through a work or service contract. II.5.4 All the committees should prepare minutes of the meetings they hold. Yes II.38 III. INFORMATION AND AUDITS III.1 GENERAL INFORMATION DUTIES Companies should ensure the existence of a permanent contact with the market, respecting the principle of shareholder equality and taking precautions against asymmetries in access to III.1.1 Yes CHAPTER III information on the part of investors.

Companies should promote the rotation of the auditor at the end of every two or three man- dates, according to whether they last four or three years. Their maintenance beyond this period Not Applica- III.1.3 should be justified by a specific opinion of the supervisory board which explicitly reflects on III.18 ble. the conditions of independence of the auditor and advantages and costs of the auditor's re- placement. The external auditor should, under its competences, verify the application of the remuneration III.1.4 policies and systems, the effectiveness and functioning of the internal control mechanisms Yes III.17 and report any flaws to the company's supervisory board. The company must not contract from the external auditor, or from any entities in a holding relationship or which are part of the same network, any services other than audit services. III.1.5 If there are reasons to contract such services, which should be approved by the supervisory Yes III.17 board and explained in its annual Corporate Governance Report, they should not amount to more than 30% of the total value of the services provided to the company.

The Board of the General Meeting is composed by a Chairman, a Deputy Chairman and a Secretary.
The Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting is responsible for calling the General Meetings and directing their agenda, as well as performing any other duties entrusted by the Law, the Articles of Association or through delegation of the actual General Meeting.

The Secretary is responsible for assisting the Chairman in the performance of the latter's duties and ensuring the completion of all the administrative work relative to the General Meeting. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 69 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Furthermore, and with the support of the Company Secretary and other services of the Company, the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting is provided with the appropriate human and logistic resources for the proper performance of the Chairman's duties, namely for the preparation and dissemination of the call notices and other preparatory information, as well as for the receipt, processing and filing of share certifications, letters of intention to participate, letters of representation, proposals for submission to the assessment and voting of the share- holders, attendance list and, for the organisation of the General Meetings.
I.1. Identification of the members of the Board of the General Meeting.
Currently, the Board of the General Meeting is composed of the following members:
Chairman: Mr. Rogério Paulo Castanho Alves, lawyer, with professional domicile at Largo de S. Carlos, n.º 3, 1200-410 Lisbon, Portugal
Deputy Chairman: Mr. José Gonçalo Pereira de Sousa Guerra Costenla, lawyer, with professional domicile at Largo de S. Carlos, n.º 3, 1200-410 Lisbon, Portugal
Secretary: Mr. José Pedro Poiares Cobra Ferreira, lawyer, with professional domicile at Lagoas Park, Edifício 2, 2740-265 Porto Salvo, Oeiras, Portugal.
The members of the Board of the General Meeting fully comply with the requirements of independence, and there is no situation of incompat- ibility for the performance of these duties by any of them, in strict observance of the applicable regulations (article 414 and 414-A, ex vi of article 374-A, all of the Commercial Companies Code).
I.2. Indication of the date of commencement and termination of office. all the identified members of the Board of the General Meeting were appointed through the Memorandum of Association, on 30 November 2009, to perform duties in that body during the two-year period 2009/2010.
I.3. Indication of the remuneration of the chairman of the Board of the General Meeting.
The members of the Board of the General Meeting, under the current system established in the Commercial Companies Code, namely the provisions in 422-A, ex vi of article 374-A, receive a fixed remuneration for the performance of the duties inherent to the respective positions, determined by the Remuneration Committee established in article 11 of the Articles of Association.
Under the terms and for the effect of the applicable regulatory and recommended provisions, it is disclosed that the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting, during 2010, was EUR 20,000.00 (twenty thousand Euros). WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 70 Corporate Governance Report 2010
1.4. Indication of the time in advance required for the deposit or blocking of shares for participation in the General Meeting.
As established in the actual Articles of Association (article 13), only shareholders with at least one voting right, on the registration date, cor- responding to 0 hours (GMT) of the 5th business day prior to the date of the General Meeting, may participate in the General Meeting and dis- cuss and vote therein. The exercise of these rights is not jeopardised by the transfer of the shares after the registration date, nor does it depend on their blocking between this date and the date of the General Meeting. Anyone wishing to participate in the General Meeting should state this intention, in writing, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and to the financial broker where the individualised registration has been opened up to the day prior to the date mentioned above, and may, for the effect, use electronic mail. Anyone who has stated the intention to participate in the General Meeting and transfers the ownership of the shares between the registration date and the end of the General Meeting, should immediately communicate this fact to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and to the CMVM.
The Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting does not establish any restrictions on the acceptance of statements received after the statutorily established dates.
I.5. Indication of the rules applicable to the blocking of shares in the case of the suspension of the General Meeting.
In the case of the suspension of the General Meeting, the company should not impose the blocking of shares to remain during the entire period until the session is resumed, although it is necessary that the shareholders confirm their capacity, under the terms described in point 1.4 above.
I.6. Number of shares corresponding to one vote.
Under the terms of article 13 of the Articles of Association, each share corresponds to one vote.
I.7 Indication of the statutory rules establishing the existence of shares which do not confer the right to vote or which establish that rights to vote above a certain number should not be counted, when issued by a single shareholder or by shareholders related to the former.
Although the Articles of Association foresee this possibility, as results from the content of its article 7, the truth is that there are no - and have never been any – shares without voting rights.
There are no statutory provisions which limit the number of votes, when issued by a single shareholder or by shareholders related to the former, or that establish that rights to vote above a certain number should not be counted, when issued by a single shareholder or by share- holders related to the former.
I.8. Existence of statutory rights on the exercise of voting rights, including constitutive and deliberative quorums or sys- tems privileging rights related to assets.
As established in article 13 of the Articles of Association, and as described in 1.4, only shareholders with at least one voting right, on the WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 71 Corporate Governance Report 2010
registration date, corresponding to 0 hours (GMT) of the 5th business day prior to the date of the General Meeting, may participate in the General Meeting and discuss and vote therein. The exercise of these rights is not jeopardised by the transfer of the shares after the registration date, nor does it depend on their blocking between this date and the date of the General Meeting. Anyone wishing to participate in the Gen- eral Meeting should state this intention, in writing, addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and to the financial broker where the individualised registration has been opened up to the day prior to the date mentioned in number 1 of the present article, and may, for the effect, use electronic mail. Anyone who has stated the intention to participate in the General Meeting and transfers the ownership of the shares between the registration date and the end of the General Meeting, should immediately communicate this fact to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and to the CMVM.
In the case of the joint ownership of shares, only one of the owners, empowered to represent the others, may participate in the General Meetings.
Shareholders who are natural persons, with voting rights, may be represented at the General Meetings by means of a document issued under the terms of the Law.
Shareholders who are incapable of acting and legal persons, with voting rights, may be represented by persons legally empowered for such.
For this purpose, the Company provides, on its website and at its head office, a power of attorney form, in compliance with the provisions in article 23 of the Securities Market Code, which may be used by shareholders wishing to be represented at the General Meeting.
All the representations indicated above must be communicated to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting through letter, duly signed and received at the head office up to three calendar days before the date scheduled for the respective General Meeting.
In the case of General Meetings attended by all the shareholders or unanimous deliberations in writing, the period of time in advance de- scribed above will not be applicable in relation to the availability of the shares and receipt of the respective certifications, as well as the letters of representation.
The deliberations of the General Meeting are taken by the majority of the votes cast, without prejudice to the legal provisions which, in certain cases, might require qualifying majorities or establish other forms of acceptance of the proposals.
There are no restrictions on voting rights, namely limits on the exercise of voting rights subject to the ownership of a number or percentage of shares, periods of time imposed for the exercise of voting rights - other than those described below for voting by correspondence - or systems privileging rights relative to assets.
Regarding the existence of provisions on constitutive quorums, article 15 of the Articles of Association establishes that the General Meeting may deliberate validly, on first call, whenever shareholders are present or represented owning shares corresponding to more than half of the share capital and, on second call, independently of the number of shareholders present or represented and the percentage of their share capital, subject to the exceptions determined by compulsory Law.
The shareholders consider the requirement of the constitutive quorum for the General Meeting to deliberate on first call as a supplementary guarantee of their representativeness in this governing body, in addition to which this rule has neither ever prevented the holding of these meetings of shareholders on first call, nor that the General Meetings of TD,SA record a participation higher, as a rule, than 75% of the share capital.
Also in line with this choice is the fact that TEIXEIRA DUARTE – Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A. (a company owned by the Teixeira Duarte family) is imputed over half of the voting rights, ensuring, with the presence of this group of entities, the minimum quorum for the General Meeting to be held on first call. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 72 Corporate Governance Report 2010
There are no measures with a view to preventing any public takeover bids, and, furthermore, the Article of Association do not establish any limit to the number of votes which can be held or exercised by a single shareholder, individually or in a concerted manner with other share- holders
I.9. Existence of statutory rules on the exercise of the right to vote by correspondence.
The Articles of Association establish that shareholders with voting rights who intend to exercise them by correspondence, apart from comply- ing with all the conditions and periods of time referred to above in order to demonstrate this capacity, should send a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and which must be received at the head office within the period of time stipulated in the call notice, expressing therein their intention to exercise this right and indicating their identification, domicile and number of shares owned, which will be confirmed through the information certified by the financial institution where these shares are registered, where the latter will prevail.
This letter should also contain the authenticated signature of the shareholder or person binding the former, or in the case of natural persons, accompanied by a legible photocopy of the shareholder's Identity Card or equivalent document.
Together with the abovementioned letter, the shareholders should include, in closed envelopes, their voting statements regarding each of the points of the Agenda, in a clear and unambiguous manner, followed by the their signature, in a manner identical to that in the cover letter. The envelopes should be marked with the following: "Contains voting statement on point number (indication of the respective number) of the Agenda".
For the execution of the procedures indicated above, the Company provides drafts of the letter and voting ballot on its website and at its head office.
The envelopes containing the voting statements cast under the terms described above will be opened and considered by the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting at the time of the voting on each point of the Agenda, where any votes included in statements which are not accepted will be counted as not cast.
Votes by correspondence are counted as negative in relation to proposals for deliberation presented after they have been cast.
The presence or representation at the General Meeting of any shareholder who has exercised the right to vote by correspondence determines the revocation of votes expressed in this manner previously.
The authenticity of voting by correspondence, its confidentiality up to the time of voting and respective processing will be ensured by the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting.
Independently of the means chosen for this effect, whether in the text of the call notices for the General Meetings, or in the prior information provided for this purpose, the terms and conditions for the exercise of voting rights are always clearly and completely explained, including voting by correspondence.
I.10. Provision of a model for the exercise of the right to vote by correspondence.
For the exercise of the right to vote by correspondence and for the good execution of the procedures indicated above, the Company provides WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 73 Corporate Governance Report 2010
drafts of the letter and voting ballot, as well as instructions for their respective completion, on its website and at its head office.
I.11. Requirement of a period of time between the receipt of votes cast by correspondence and the date of the General Meeting.
The Articles of Association establish that shareholders with the right to vote who intend to exercise it by correspondence, should send a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Board of the General Meeting and that it should be received at the head office within the period of time stipulated in the call notice. The established period of time between the receipt of votes cast by correspondence and the date of all the General Meetings of 2011 was one day.
I.12. Exercise of the right to vote through electronic means.
TD,SA believes that the specific security requirements inherent to the voting process are very significant, namely with respect, on the one hand, to the technical means necessary to verify the authenticity of the corresponding voting statements, as well as to guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of the respective contents, and, likewise, recognises the high level of security and operational reliability required in the receipt of these statements.
Due to the considerations referred to above and the fact that the General Meetings of the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group traditionally has a very high representation of share capital, the Company has not implemented the possibility of the exercise of voting rights through electronic means.
I.13. Possibility of the shareholders accessing excerpts of the minutes of the General Meetings on the company's website during the five days after the General Meeting.
The minutes relative to the General Meetings held during 2010 were provided on the Company's website, in accordance with the applicable recommendations and regulatory provisions, although it was not possible to make them available during the subsequent five days due to the lack of availability of the teams and persons involved in the execution of this task in such a short period of time, namely because, in view of the results of the voting, it was not considered a priority to do so.
Furthermore, on the actual day of the General Meetings, or on the day immediately subsequent, various informative elements were disclosed on those meetings, including not only the deliberations taken, but also the share capital represented and results of the voting.
I.14. Existence of an historical record on the company's website, with the deliberations taken in the company's General Meetings, the share capital represented and results of the voting, relative to the previous 3 years. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 74 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The Company's website provides the historical record of the attendance lists, agendas and deliberations taken relative to all the General Meet- ings of TD,SA.
Since the company was constituted on 30 November 2009, the elements mentioned above refer only to these last 2 years, that is 2009 and 2010.
However, it should be noted that the same website provides identical information on the General Meetings of the company which was previ- ously the leading listed company of the Group, TD-EC.
I.15. Indication of the representative(s) of the remuneration committee present at the General Meetings.
The following members of the Remuneration Committee were present at the General Meetings:
a) Annual General Meeting:
a. Session of 27 May 2010:
-M- r. Pedro Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
-M- r. Manuel Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
-M- r. António Carlos Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte
b. Session of 26 July 2010:
-- None of the members of the Remunerations Committee were present.
c. Session of 6 September 2010:
-M- r. Pedro Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
-M- r. Manuel Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
b) General Meeting of 23 December 2010:
-M- r. Pedro Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
-M- r. Manuel Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
-M- r. António Carlos Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte
On this issue, it should be recalled that the work of the Annual General Meeting of the Company was suspended in order to allow for the distribution of net income to be carried out within a period to enable the distribution of these amounts to shareholders who had adhered to the public takeover bid. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 75 Corporate Governance Report 2010
It was purely in this context that, during the meeting of 26 July, the work of the Annual General Meeting was suspended, where the only outstanding subject of the Agenda was not even assessed.
In this way, in both sessions of the Annual General Meeting where deliberations were taken, at least two members of the Remuneration Com- mittee were present, and in the General Meeting of 23 December all three members of this Committee were once again present.
I.16. Information on the intervention of the General Meeting relative to the company's remuneration policy and assess- ment of the performance of the management board members and other senior managers.
The intervention of the General Meeting relative to the company's remuneration policy and assessment of the performance of the members of the governing bodies and other senior managers (when applicable) is conducted, in the first place, through the analysis and approval of the documents presenting the accounts at the Annual General Meeting and through the general assessment of the management, under the terms and with the effect established in the combined provisions of articles 376 and 455 of the Commercial Companies Code, carried out every year at the meeting of shareholders, as well as through the election of its members and selection and appointment of the members of the Remuneration Committee which, in accordance with its assessment of performance and other criteria described below, establishes the remuneration of each member of the Governing Bodies, including the Board of Directors.
Furthermore, the General Meeting also performs the key role of being responsible for the approval of the remuneration policy statement which should be followed and disclosed annually in the Corporate Governance Report, submitted for the assessment of the shareholders.
In 2010, the Remuneration Committee did not submit the remuneration policy statement for the assessment of the shareholders, relative to the Company's senior managers, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, because, on that date, the Com- pany was not yet bound to such duties and since the members of the Board of Directors did not receive any remuneration for the performance of their duties.
However, it should be noted that the statement, issued by the Remuneration Committee of TD-EC, at that time the leading listed company of the Group, on the policy of the remuneration of the Management and Supervisory Bodies was approved at the General Meeting of that company, on 27 May 2010, with 99.71% of the votes in favour, 0.01% of abstentions and 0.29% of the votes against.
I.17. Information on the intervention of the General Meeting regarding the proposal of plans to attribute shares and/or share purchase options, or based on variations in the price of the shares, to members of the management and supervisory bodies and other senior managers, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, as well as on the elements presented at the General Meeting with a view to the proper assessment of these plans.
There are no plans to attribute shares, and/or share purchase options or based on variations in the price of the shares.
Consequently, there is no intervention of the General Meeting on this matter. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 76 Corporate Governance Report 2010
I.18. Information on the intervention of the General Meeting regarding the approval of the main characteristics of the retirement benefits system extended to the members of the management and supervisory bodies and other senior man- agers, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for establishing all the amounts paid in this context to any retired former Directors, under all circumstances.
The Remunerations Committee is also responsible for establishing the supplementary pension schemes, under the terms of the provisions in article 22 of the Articles of Association.
The General Meeting reserves the right to appoint the members of the Remuneration Committee which is exclusively competent to decide on these matters.
I.19. Existence of a statutory rule establishing the duty to subject, at least every five years, to the General Meeting, the maintenance or elimination of the statutory rule establishing the limitation of the number of votes which can be held or exercised by a single shareholder individually or in a concerted manner with other shareholders.
There is no statutory rule with these characteristics (cf. I.7).
I.20. Indication of defensive measures which have the effect of automatically leading to a serious erosion of company assets in the event of the transfer of control or change of the composition of the management board.
There are no measures with these characteristics.
I.21. Significant agreements of which the company is a party and which enter into force, are altered or cease in the event of a change of control of the company, as well as the respective effects, unless, due to their nature, their disclosure would be seriously harm the company, except if the company is specifically obliged to disclose this information due to other legal requirements.
There are no agreements with these characteristics.
I.22. Agreements between the company and members of the management board and senior managers, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, which establish compensation in the case of resignation, unfair dismissal or termination of the work relation following a change in the control of the company.
There are no agreements with these characteristics. The company follows the policy of not undertaking any payments related to the early termination of the exercise of duties by the Directors or other senior managers, as well as not signing any agreements relative to these matters.

CHAPTER II
Management and Supervisory Bodies
Section I – General Issues
II.1. Identification and composition of the governing bodies.
Since its constitution in 2009, the Company adopted a Corporate Governance model known as the "monista latino" (Latin unitary board structure), whose governing bodies comprise, in addition to the General Meeting and its respective Board, a Board of Directors and two autonomous Supervisory Bodies: the Supervisory Board and the Chartered Accountants Company, taking into account their competences and requirements of compatibility and independence.
On this issue, it is important to note the collaboration between all these structures of the Group, as well as the advantages arising from these synergies, reflected in the privileged and effective manner of the achievement of objectives undertaken by all as collection action.
In this context and in compliance with recommendation number II.1.1.1 of the Corporate Governance Code of the CMVM, the Board of Direc- tors discloses that the adopted corporate governance model fully complies with its base objectives, that is, of ensuring that the Company maintains good levels of operation and efficiency in the performance of duties by each governing body, both independently and jointly.
Indeed, the Board of Directors is composed exclusively by executive members, which is reflected in the effectiveness, operationality and proximity of the matters entrusted to them, while the total independence of the members of the Supervisory Board allows for impartial and useful intervention in the supervision of the Company's activity, not only from an accounting point of view - where it benefits from the regular intervention of the Chartered Accountants Company - but also from a policy perspective, in this case with the appropriate limits and scope essential to safeguard compliance with the legal and regulatory rules in force, all with a view to achieving constant transparency and proper levels of disclosure of information to the market in general and to the shareholders, especially at the General Meeting.
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group has chosen to keep all the Directors of the leading listed company in executive duties since the duties which would have been entrusted to any non-executive Directors – namely regarding supervision, monitoring and assessment of the activity of the executive members - are carried out, with full effectiveness, by the Supervisory Board, Remuneration Committee and General Meeting.
Particular note should also be made of the good interrelations between all the governing bodies, not only between the Chartered Accountants Company and the Supervisory Board, which hold periodic meetings, but also between these bodies and the Board of Directors, whereby all the Directors have provided the information requested by other members of the governing bodies in due time and in an appropriate manner.
This model has also proved to be suitable to the modus operandi of the Company, its structures and members comprising the governing bodies, particularly those of the Board of Directors.
Under the terms of number 1 of article 17 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is composed on a minimum of five and maximum of eleven members elected at the General Meeting, which must appoint, from amongst them, the member who will perform the duties of Chairman.
In the beginning of 2010, the Board of Directors was composed of eight members, counting with a Chairman and seven Directors, all with executive duties, but on 23 February 2010, Mr. João Salvador dos Santos Matias resigned from the position he had been holding, due to WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 78 Corporate Governance Report 2010
completing the age of 65, and no new member of this governing body has been co-opted or elected at the General Meeting.
Consequently, the composition of the Board of Directors, at the end of 2010, was as follows:
Chairman: Mr. Pedro Maria Calainho Teixeira Duarte
Directors: Mr. Manuel Maria Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte
Mr. Joel Vaz Viana de Lemos
Mr. Jorge Ricardo de Figueiredo Catarino
Mr. Carlos Gomes Baptista
Mr. João José de Gouveia Capelão
Mr. João José do Carmo Delgado
The Supervisory Board is composed of three permanent members - a Chairman and two members - and an alternate member, who fully comply with all the requirements of independence in relation to whom there is no incompatibility for the performance of their duties, under the terms established in the Commercial Companies Code.
The composition of the Supervisory Board, since its constitution on 30 November 2009 and until the end of 2010, was as follows:
Chairman: Mr. António Gonçalves Monteiro
Members: Mr. Mateus Moreira
Mr. Miguel Carmo Pereira Coutinho
Alternate: Mr. Horácio Lisboa Afonso
The Chartered Accountants Company, also appointed at the time of the constitution of the Company, on 30 November 2009, to perform duties during the two-year period 2009/2010, "MARIQUITO, CORREIA & ASSOCIADOS, SROC", is represented by Mr. António Francisco Escara- meia Mariquito, entrusted with ensuring all the examinations and verifications necessary for the review and legal certification of the accounts of the Company, and who also in the capacity of External Auditor registered at the CMVM under number 2.235, fully complying with all the requirements of independence and in relation to whom there is no incompatibility to hold the respective position, under the applicable legal provisions. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 79 Corporate Governance Report 2010
II.2. Identification and composition of other specialised committees constituted with competences in the company's management or supervision matters.
Currently, there are no specialised Committees on management or supervisory matters, namely the Executive Committee, under the specific terms in which it is defined by the Company's Articles of Association, in particular article 20, notwithstanding the members of the Board of Directors, all with executive duties, maintaining contacts, ensuring frequent sector meetings and holding weekly meetings, accompanied by the advisor to the Board.
Indeed, and in view of the adopted model, it is not considered necessary to create specific committees, namely for the effect of a competent and independent assessment of the performance of the executive Directors and for the assessment of the overall performance of the actual performance of the Board of Directors, since such duties are explicitly entrusted to the General Meeting, Supervisory Board and Remuneration Committee.
Likewise, the creation of a specific committee to reflect on the adopted governance system, verify its effectiveness and propose to the compe- tent bodies the measures to take with a view to its improvement, has been concluded as irrelevant. These duties are performed and developed by each of the Governing Bodies which, better than any other body created only for this effect, are successful in identifying any constraints and difficulties which might have been encountered, and in the same way, collaborate together in the assessment of the adopted corporate governance model, reporting and overcoming any operational and interconnection difficulties.
Moreover, it was also not considered necessary to entrust any type of committee with the duty to identify, in due time, potential candidates with the high profile required for the performance of duties of Director, considering that the reference shareholders possess the necessary and relevant knowledge on the market and senior staff who collaborate with the Company, which allows them to identify, whenever necessary, the candidates they deem suitable for the corporate positions in question.
II.3. Organisational charts or flowcharts relative to the distribution of competences between the different governing bodies, committees, and/or departments of the company, including information on the scope of the delegation of com- petences, in particular with respect to the delegation of the daily management of the company, or distribution of areas of responsibility amongst the members of the management or supervisory bodies, and list of matters which are not able of being delegated and of competences actually delegated.
It is important to note at this point and with respect to the performance of TD,SA in its different business sectors and markets, the close col- laboration between all the structures of the Group, identified in the organogram at the beginning of this Report, as well as the added value arising from these synergies, which are reflected in the privileged and efficient means of achieving collectively undertaken objectives.
Particular note should be made, on the one hand, of the existence, in the context of the Group, of Central Departments with special responsibil- ities of transversal support to the action developed in the different business sectors integrated in the Corporate Centre, entrusted with promot- ing a standardisation of procedures and providing support to the structures operating abroad in these areas common to various businesses.
The Group's Operating Structures are organised by Activity Sector and tend to cover responsibility for all the teams and operations of these business areas, independently of the geographical market in which they operate, thus also acting to draw the technical and human central resources of the Group closer to those operating in the different markets of TD,SA.
Even so, it should be noted that occasionally some companies integrated in the Group, in view of the particularity of their business, maintain their respective specificity. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 80 Corporate Governance Report 2010
TD-EC, as the leading company of the Group in the Construction sector, develops its activity through Operating Centres, which divide up the production areas and are essential in the training of the senior management and in the follow-up of their career, as well as through a series of Central Departments with specific scope of action in terms of specialised support to the Operating Centres, in particular in the areas of Studies, Projects and Equipment.
Notwithstanding the above, there is no delegation of competences by any of the governing bodies, namely by the Board of Directors, in any specific committees, in particular in an Executive Committee.
This circumstance results essentially from the fact that the Board of Directors is composed exclusively of executive members, which, as noted above in the assessment of the corporate model (cf. II.1 above) is reflected in effectiveness of operationality and proximity to the matters of their competence, whereby any delegation in this regard would be redundant and counterproductive.
The distribution of areas of responsibility during 2010 was carried out only in the context of TD-EC and its members of the Board of Directors were exactly the same as those of TD,SA.
In this way, it was considered appropriate to disclose in this document the distribution of areas of responsibility in this other entity:
Notwithstanding the legal and statutory provisions which determine the collective functionality and collegial character of the Board of Direc- tors and without reducing the operationality practised in an ongoing manner of permanent contact and consultation between all its mem- bers, with the areas of responsibility having been distributed to the Directors under the terms indicated below, after the termination of office of Mr. João Salvador dos Santos Matias.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Pedro Maria Calainho Teixeira Duarte, performed the duties inherent to this position, under the terms and with the attributions defined in the Law and Articles of Association, monitoring the Company's current business and ensuring the daily management and execution of the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and was also responsible for monitoring the financial holdings in Banco Comercial Português, S.A. and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A..

Mr. Manuel Maria Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte was responsible for supervising the activities developed by the Central Finance and Accounting Department, as well as the Corporate Secretariat, Consolidation of Accounts and Internal Audit Services.
Mr. Joel Vaz Viana de Lemos was responsible for supervising the activities developed by the Central Services for Safety, Quality and the Environ- ment, Human Resources and Administrative, Information Technology and Procurement Services, as well as the representation of the company at ANEOP and AECOPS.
Mr. João José de Gouveia Capelão, accompanied by the Advisor to the Board of Directors Mr. António Manuel Costeira Faustino, was responsible for supervising the action of the Central Contracts and Logistics Department.
Regarding the Group's activities:

- supervising the activities developed by the Central Departments for Planning and Studies, Electromechanical Installations, Special Studies and Projects; WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 82 Corporate Governance Report 2010
- monitoring the activity of the subsidiary SATU-Oeiras – Sistema Automático de Transporte Urbano, E.M., S.A.;

Mr. João José do Carmo Delgado was responsible for supervising the activities developed by the Central Department for Studies of Public Works, and supporting the activity developed by TEIXEIRA DUARTE – Engenharia e Construções, S.A. relative to the Infrastructures Operation Centres.
II.4. Reference to the fact that the annual reports on the activity developed by the General and Supervisory Board, Finan- cial Matters Committee, Audit Committee and Supervisory Board include a description of the supervisory activity carried out, noting any constraints encountered, and are disclosed on the company's website, together with the documents presenting the accounts.
Under the terms and for the effect of the CMVM Recommendations on this matter, the Annual Reports on the activity developed by the Su- pervisory Board, including the description on the supervisory activity developed and referring to any constraints encountered, were disclosed on the Company's website, together with the documents presenting the accounts, in observance of the rules and periods of time established in the Law and other applicable regulations.
II.5. Description of the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the company, namely, relative to the process of disclosure of financial information, mode of functioning of this system and its effectiveness.
The procedures implemented in terms of internal control and risk management are characterised by promoting the autonomy of the Com- pany's senior staff in the management and monitoring of matters, instilling an attitude of responsibility and strong stimulus to entrepreneurial behaviour.
This consistent relationship between autonomy and responsibility imposes, in a realistic manner, careful and strict compliance with the tasks allocated to each employee, thus representing, in itself, a solid, sustained and effective risk control system that delivers extremely satisfactory practical results.
The importance of weighing the cost of control in relation to the matters that are to be controlled is always taken into account. The assessment of the Company, of the way it is managed, of the composition of its staff and managers and of the fundamental principles and concepts that are applied, leads to the conclusion that the costs related to the creation of any control committees would greatly outweigh the costs of mat- ters to be controlled. The mere creation of committees for the effect, from a formal point of view, would eventually imply more bureaucratic obstacles that would not be reflected in their practical implementation.
Although the internal control and risk management system implemented in the company does not comply with the requirements listed in Recommendation II.1.1.2, TD,SA continues firmly convinced of this choice, because it believes that a model based on the assumptions of this Recommendation is inappropriate for the regular operation of the Company, and may even create various obstacles from the merely formal and bureaucratic point of view that are incompatible with the execution of the procedures which have already been implemented and the accountability of the Departments.
However, and even so, particular note should be made of the important role played in this matter by the Internal Audit Department created in the Group during 2008, which has pursued the development of its action, as well as the performance of the Corporate Service for the WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 83 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Consolidation of Accounts of the Group in the process of disclosure of financial information.
As at 31 December 2010, these services were under the hierarchical and operational dependence of Director Mr. Manuel Maria Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte, who was not considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations, thus constituting non-compliance with CMVM Regulation number II.4.6.
Nevertheless, it is considered that this Director is not under any circumstances capable of affecting his impartiality in analysis and decision- making.
II.6. Responsibility of the management board and supervisory board in the creation and functioning of the company's internal control and risk management systems, as well as in the evaluation of their operation and adjustment to the company's needs
Regarding the Company's internal control and risk management systems, the Board of Directors is responsible, in the first place, for knowing and assessing the most important risks faced by the Company, as well as for the promotion of the necessary initiatives for their respective prevention.
In this context, the Board of Directors is responsible for designing and planning the internal control and risk management systems which prove necessary and appropriate for the different situations which are identified, as well as monitoring their respective implementation, supervising and assessing their operation, all under the terms described above in II.5.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors is also responsible - rather than the supervisory bodies - for the assessment of the operation of these systems and for proposing their respective adjustment to the needs of TD,SA, since this matter which, due both to its nature and specificities described above, falls under the specific scope of action of the Board of Directors and under the control and supervision of this board of the different Departments of the Company, a system that has proved suitable for its respective purposes.
II.7. Indication of the existence of regulations on the operation of the governing bodies, or other rules relative to incom- patibilities defined internally and the maximum number of positions which can be accumulated, and place where they may be consulted.
Formally speaking, there are no regulations on the operation of the governing bodies, code of conduct or any other rules relative to incompat- ibilities defined internally, nor a maximum number of positions which can be accumulated.
In view of the chosen corporate model, the composition of the management (all executive members) and supervisory bodies of the Company (all independent and relative to whom none are in any situation of incompatibility, in accordance with the legal rules) and the fact that the competences and responsibilities of each are very well defined and cannot be delegated to any other bodies, specialised committees or de- partments, the mode of operation of the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board and Chartered Accountant is rather simplified.
In this regard, it should be noted that the fact that the number of members in these bodies is not large enough to justify the stipulation, in regulations, of additional rules on operations, and likewise, the interaction between these entities is maintained in a regular manner under the legally established terms, considered sufficient for the effect. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 84 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Section II – Board of Directors
II.8. Should the chairman of the management board perform executive duties, indication of the mechanisms for the coordination of the work of the non-executive members which ensure the independent and informed character of their decisions.
Considering that all the members of the Board of Directors perform executive duties, the present rule is not applicable to TD,SA.
II.9. Identification of the main economic, financial and legal risks to which the company is exposed during the exercise of its activity
The main economic, financial and legal risks to which the company is exposed during the exercise of its activity are as follows:
- alterations in the economic and business conditions in Portugal, as well as in the economic and business conditions of the Group's opera- tions abroad, namely in Angola, Algeria and Brazil;
- fluctuations and volatility of interest rates, credit spreads and exchange rates;
- changes in government policies and in the regulatory framework of banking activity;
- alterations in the competitive environment of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group;
- fluctuations in stock markets in general and in particular the stock market price of BCP shares.
Furthermore, the activity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is dependent on the economic environment and on the consequences which certain macroeconomic situations might have on the levels of confidence of the different economic agents, on investment volumes, exports and global trade, as well as well as on employment levels and consumption patterns.
The evolution of the activity areas in which the Group operates, namely the construction area, but also, for example, the real estate, hotel and energy areas, is historically correlated, more or less directly, with the macroeconomic performance of the countries or markets where the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group operates, in particular, with the evolution of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, the Group's activity and its results may be significantly affected by the performance of the economies where the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group operates, mainly through the effect of the growth or retraction of the construction market, the most representative business area in the Group's operating income (55% in 2010).
Considering that the construction business is the core activity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, in particular in the sub-branches of Geotechnol- ogy and Rehabilitation, Buildings, Infrastructures and Mechanical Engineering, below is a description of the main risks inherent to the said business:
The large-scale construction business involves a major allocation of human and material resources, which implies a high fixed cost structure not only due to the necessary need to invest in the teams and their training, but also the significant investment required in the acquisition and maintenance of equipment. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 85 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The costs associated to many of the tenders, both in the preparation of proposals and in the guarantees and bonds which are sometimes necessary to provide, also constitute another risk factor and penalisation inherent to the activity, especially taking into account the penalties very often associated to the large public contract works in which the Teixeira Duarte Group participates.
Moreover, the retraction of public investment, as well as the private of a lesser volume, has affected revenue, which is also sometimes penal- ised by the deadlines and delays in payments.
On the other hand, the nature of the service provided often implies alterations in the circumstances that were initially negotiated, as a result of the vicissitudes of the contract work in question (climate change; discovery of adverse and unexpected characteristics; natural, social and economic phenomena as a consequence of the impact of the work) and alterations of projects, very often due to new choices by the owner of the work which calls for great flexibility in the efficiency of their execution.
Yet another important aspect results from the significant number of suppliers of goods and equipment and service providers with which the Company deals in this area of action and which might imply risks due to actions or omissions imputable to them, including interruptions or delays in the service or supply of goods.
From a commercial point of view, globalisation has enabled the entry of other major Construction Groups in the main and oldest markets of action of the Teixeira Duarte Group – especially Portugal and Angola – forcing greater effort in the presentation of solutions and proposals, as well as the optimisation of costs to enable meeting the competitive strength of these entities.
In the regions and areas of operation of the Cement, Concrete and Aggregates sector, TD,SA and its subsidiaries have been strongly penalised by the reflection of the political and economic situations of some countries in which the Company operates, namely as a result of the international crisis which has greatly affected countries such as Ukraine.
Concessions are normally long term projects which involve increasingly more areas, such as those linked to planning, design, construction, financing and operation and, therefore, due to such complexity, the need of partners and the longevity of the processes imply a heavy risk in the evaluation of assets and projects in the long term, in an increasingly more dynamic world characterised by unexpected changes.
The real estate sector was at the origin and core of the sub-prime crisis and the reflections of this international situation are still experienced in Por- tugal, where the requirements for new projects have increased at all levels (administrative, economic, social, environmental, amongst others), and the increasingly greater evidence of excess supply has led to price decreases and demand is greatly affected by the increasing restrictions to credit.
The Hotel sector in the Algarve has been heavily hit by the new destinations which are now accessible and changes of routes of the major international agencies, where the hotels in Africa are naturally exposed to the idiosyncrasies of the respective countries and the increasing competition, at an unprecedented scale. Moreover, and in view of the levels of indebtedness of some of the subsidiary companies operating in this sector, the net income and, consequently, the net worth of these companies may suffer adverse impacts as a result of unfavourable evolutions in interest rates.
Distribution in Angola is very exposed due to the specific circumstances of the country and logistic difficulties related to supply, transport and travel, as well as the difficult international environment which has affected many of the suppliers essential to the development of the project.
The Automobile sector operates in a very saturated market, where at an international level major players have entered bankruptcy and were strongly affected, with inevitable consequences at a global level and which had already led the Teixeira Duarte Group to dispose of the activity developed in this area in Portugal.
In Angola, competitiveness increasingly higher and the investment made by the Group implies strong optimisation of processes and costs, in a market which is increasingly more expensive and difficult. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 86 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The Energy sector of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is exposed to two risks of different nature, according to whether we address the activity in Portugal (where the operation concerns the area of distribution and marketing of liquid fuel and gas) or Brazil (where an indirect subsidiary is engaged in oil prospecting).
Indeed, in the national market the risks are concentrated around three aspects: (i) the minor market share in the area of liquid fuel; (ii) the fact that the main suppliers are simultaneously the main competition, with major market shares; and (iii) the delicate management of the credit granted to re-distributors, namely through the consignment of delivered products.
Abroad, the risk is concentrated in the strong investment inherent to the prospecting obligations arising from the awarded concessions, namely compliance with the "Minimum Exploration Programmes (PEM)", compared with the expectation of obtaining a product that is not only uncertain but also unknown when it might occur, and should it occur, will then depend the quantity, quality, market conditions for the sale of the product and fluctuations of the international markets.
Common to these two realities - national and international - has been the strong impact on the fuel market, especially as a consequence of the speculation around the price of oil.
Regarding the financial holdings, in particular the qualifying holding owned in Banco Comercial Português, S.A., the risk results from the current fragility of the financial markets and the possible impact of the volatility of the respective stock market prices in the accounts of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, which might even, under certain circumstances, affect the net income.
The risks described above, should they occur, could have a negative impact on the net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group and its financial situation.
TD,SA is exposed to strategy risks, through the possibility of taking inadequate strategic decisions, failures in the implementation of deci- sions or lack of response capacity regarding changing market conditions.
The international business of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group represents a significant portion of the Group's total turnover (57% in 2010). It is impossible to guarantee the full success of operations on the foreign markets in which the Group operates. Moreover, these operations are exposed to risks arising from possibly adverse economic developments in the countries where they are established. These factors could adversely affect the activity, financial situation and net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group. Some of the Group's international operations are also exposed to exchange rate risks.
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group operates in various activity sectors, in particular, due to its importance in terms of contribution to operating income, the construction sector, but also in others such as energy, automobile and the real estate business. The sectors referred to above represent 82% of the Group's operating income and are highly competitive sectors. This competition environment, when associated to nega- tive cycles in the activity areas in which the Group operates, may have a negative impact on the Company's marketing margins and on its net income and, consequently, on its financial situation.
The capacity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group to successfully implement its strategy depends on its ability to recruit the most qualified and com- petent employees for each position. Although the human resources policy of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is directed towards the achievement of these objectives, it is impossible to guarantee that, in the future, there will be no limitations in this area. Such circumstances could obstruct or delay the execution of the defined strategy, which could have a negative effect on the Group's activity, financial situation and net income.
The deterioration of global economic conditions or adversities that affect the economies at a local scale could result in the inability of the Group's customers to meet their obligations or significantly delay their payment, leading to the existing credit lines entering into a situation of default. This scenario would result in losses affecting the activity, financial situation and net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 87 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group might, in the future, be part of a number of disputes related to its activity, including those where the sentence has been favourable, totally or partially, and which might be subject to appeal or action for annulment by the counterparties under the terms of the applicable procedural rules and until the reading of the final judgement of these same sentences. The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group cannot guarantee that it will win any lawsuits relative to its activities and a negative decision in this area might have an adverse effect of significance to the activity, financial situation and net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.
The activities of TD,SA require investments. The Group finances part of these investments through the cash flow generated by its operating activities. However, TD,SA and its subsidiaries finance most of their investments through external sources, including bank loans and offers in capital markets.
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is exposed to a series of risks, such as liquidity risks, interest rate risks and exchange rate risks, amongst others, and in the event of exceptionally adverse scenarios, the policies and procedures used by TD,SA to identify, monitor and manage risks might not prove to be totally effective.
As is the case of any other economic group integrated in a competitive environment, the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is also subject to risks related to liquidity. The Group believes that it is suitably equipped to exercise effective control of the risks of its activity, that the action developed by the management is effective, based on information provided by the Consolidation of Accounts and Internal Audit Services and by the Central Department for Finance and Accounts which, under the direct supervision of a Director responsible for this area, is specially committed to controlling the liquidity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.
TD,SA manages the Group's liquidity risks in two ways: ensuring that the Group's financial debt has a high component of medium and long term maturities suitable to the expected capacity of generation of funds and the use of credit facilities, available in various cases in the form of current account credit lines.
During its normal business, the Group is subject to certain operating risks, including interruption or delays in the provision of services, frauds, omissions, errors and delays in the implementation of requirements for risk management. These risks are monitored by the Group in an ongoing manner through administrative and information systems, amongst others, with some of the operating risks being covered by insurance policies.
The operations developed by the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group are dependent on computer processing. The computer processing involves the main- tenance of records, financial reporting and other systems, including systems for the monitoring and control of the different operations of the Group, in particular in human resources management, accounts, logistics, administration and storage. Notwithstanding the assessment which has been made of the computer systems and the belief that their capacities are appropriate, it is impossible to guarantee potential investors that all the problems related to the information technology systems will be fully identified and corrected in due time, nor systematic success in the implementation of technological improvements.
The cost of the vast majority of the financial debt incurred by the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is indexed to variable reference rates, whereby TD,SA is, through this means, exposed to interest rate risk.
However, in order to manage these variations, the financial area of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group permanently follows market development, and is able to use financial instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate volatility. Such instruments are contracted by considering the risks affecting the assets and liabilities and after checking which of the instruments available on the market are the most appropriate to cover those risks. These operations are permanently monitored, particularly through the analysis of various indicators regarding these instruments, in particular the evolution of their market value and sensitivity of forecast cash flows and of the actual market value to changes in key variables WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 88 Corporate Governance Report 2010
that condition the structures, for the purpose of evaluating their financial effects. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in accordance with the provisions of IAS 39 and measured at fair value, which is based on assessments made by financial institutions. These are qualified as hedging instruments or instruments held for trading, in compliance with the provisions of IAS 39.
The variation of the exchange rate of the Euro relative to other currencies, in particular the US Dollar, Angolan Kwanza, Algerian Dinar, Brazilian Real, Mozambican Metical and Ukrainian Hryvnia might have an impact on the financial situation of TD,SA. The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group operates in various markets, records revenue in foreign currency and has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Euro and, therefore, in this way, is exposed to variations in the respective currencies.
In indirect terms, note should also be made of the fact that the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group acquires a variety of materials, of special importance in the construction, distribution and automobile areas in currencies other than those in which the final products are subsequently sold, namely in Angola, which could partially influence the net income achieved by the Group in the activity developed in these sectors.
Particular note should be made of the import and export of materials for construction, of products which are essentially consumables, for the company established under Angolan law MAXI, and of automobile vehicles, spare parts and equipment for the different local subsidiaries operating in the automobile sector in Angola, involving, amongst others, the brands Nissan, Honda, Chevrolet, Renault and Peugeot.
Adverse variations in the price of oil and other commodities might also significantly affect the net income and financial situation of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.
The volatility of the price of commodities constitutes a risk for the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, affecting the operating activity of the construc- tion business area, although this is on occasions mitigated through supplier contracts with fixed prices and customer contrasts which enable reflecting these alterations in the prices paid by these customers.
In particular, the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group is indirectly exposed to the price of oil. The Group's capacity to reflect increases in the price of oil in the prices of its final products and services is minor, therefore, negative consequences might arise in the direct margins of the final products sold and in the net contribution of the services rendered. Furthermore, an increase in the price of oil has a direct impact on the transport costs associated to the development of the Group’s activity, therefore, adverse variations in the price of oil could have a negative material impact on the Group’s activity, financial situation and net income.
More specifically, the evolution in the price of oil could significantly affect the net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group for three reasons:
- directly, through the margin generated in energy, a business area which represented 8.9% of the operating income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group in 2010;
- the cost of transport is one of the most important cost items in the Group's operating accounts;
- energy costs are of some significance in the price of external supplies and services.
Any increase in taxes or reduction in tax benefits could have an adverse effect on the activity of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group.
The TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group could be affected negatively by changes in the legislation and other tax regulations applicable in Portugal, in the European Union and in the different countries in which the Group operates. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 89 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The financial statements of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group might be influenced by the change in value of the financial stakes owned.
The net worth, equity and even, in certain situations the impairment, net income of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group might be influenced by the change in value of the financial stakes owned, which, in the case of the holdings in companies listed for trading on regulated markets, depends directly on the stock market prices of the respective shares.
The entities of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group are subject to the risks inherent to any economic activity, which is the case of accidents, breakdowns or natural catastrophes that might lead to losses in the Group's assets or temporary interruptions in the respective activity. Likewise, these risks might affect the main customers and suppliers of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, which would have a significant impact on profitability where it is not possible to find replacement customers in order to guarantee the turnover level or suppliers to enable maintaining the same cost structure.
II.10. Powers of the management board, namely with respect to deliberations to increase share capital.
In addition to all the other duties and competences entrusted by the Law, Articles of Association or through delegation of the General Meet- ings, the Board of Directors is responsible for: a) exercising the full powers of management of the Company and carrying out all the acts and operations pertinent to the achievement of its corporate object; b) negotiating and granting all contracts, independently of their scope, form and nature, where the Company is a party; c) representing the Company in and out of court, actively and passively, promoting, contesting, transacting or waiving in any proceedings and engaging in all types of arbitration; d) preparing, if deemed appropriate, its internal regulations, defining the rule and procedures relative to its operation; e) proceeding with the distribution of areas of responsibility amongst its members and entrusting any of the members with specific matters of the competence of the Board of Directors; f) empowering any of its members sufficiently to, jointly or individually, perform certain tasks or specific actions; g) appointing attorneys or mandataries of the Company to carry out certain acts or categories of acts, with the powers and duties defined in the respective powers of attorney which it has granted for the effect; h) appointing the Company Secretary and its Alternate. i) moving the head office to another location, within national territory, as well as creating, transferring or extinguishing delegations, agen- cies, branches or any other forms of corporate representation, in the country or abroad, under the terms, where and when deemed convenient; j) deliberating that the Company acquire, dispose and encumber any fixed assets and industrial property rights, licenses and permits, as WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 90 Corporate Governance Report 2010
well as quotas, shares, bonds or other securities; k) deliberating that the Company participate in the constitution, subscription of share capital, assume interests or take part in other compa- nies, complementary business groups or associations of any type and cooperate, collaborate or enter into consortium with other entities, as well as the provision of technical services related to administration and management or support in terms of human resources to subsidiary companies or entities with which a subordination contract has been signed; l) providing bonds and personal or real guarantees on behalf of the Company, namely sureties or securities.
The Articles of Association of the Company do not confer any powers to the Board of Directors relative to any share capital increases.
II.11. Information on the policy of rotation of the areas of responsibility within the Board of Directors, namely of the per- son responsible for financial matters, as well as on the rules applicable to the appointment and replacement of members of the management and supervisory bodies.
As described in II.3, notwithstanding the collegial exercise of duties conferred to the Board of Directors, each of its members was more specifi- cally responsible for certain operating areas or particular businesses.
There is no policy of rotation of areas of responsibility in the Board of Directors, namely of the person responsible for the financial area. The supervision of the different areas and sectors was attributed to each Director taking into consideration the training, experience and acquired competences of each, within the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, on the different matters, a situation which is not compatible for the concept of a policy of rotation of areas of responsibility.
The redistribution of the business areas amongst the various members of the Board of Directors will always take place when necessary and appropriate.
Regarding the rules applicable to the appointment and replacement of the members of the management and supervisory bodies, it should be recalled that the members of the Board of Directors are elected at the General Meeting, through the list system, for four years, coinciding with the financial years, and may be reappointed once or twice, under the terms and with the legally established limits, and take up office as soon as they are elected, without further formalities.
However, particular note should be made that, notwithstanding the provisions in number 2 of article 10 of the Articles of Association, which is enforced for the period of the following terms of office, for the first term of office the members of the corporate bodies were appointed to perform duties only during the two-year period 2009/2010.
Under the special election rules established in the Law, the Company adopted the systems which enables a Director to be elected amongst the persons proposed in lists which are undersigned and presented by groups of shareholders, provided that none of these groups own shares representing more than twenty percent and less than ten percent of the share capital. Pursuant to this choice, any Director elected in this man- ner automatically replaces the one last on the list who would have fallen due in the election of the Directors.
The Articles of Association do not foresee the existence of any alternate Director, but rather establish five as the number of absences to meet- ings, consecutively or interpolated, without justification accepted by the Board of Directors, per term of office, as leading to the situation of definitive absence of the Director, with the consequences established in the Law. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 91 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Apart from the circumstances referred to above, the Articles of Association do not foresee any specific rule for the replacement of the members of the Board of Directors, so the general system established in the Commercial Companies Code on this matter is applicable, that is, the Board of Directors may replace any Director who fails to perform duties for any of the reasons laid down in the Law, namely due to resignation or the accumulation of absences, and hence, should this be deemed appropriate and under the applicable terms and conditions, proceed with the corresponding co-optation, which must be ratified at the first following General Meeting.
As is the case with the other governing bodies, the members of the Supervisory Board are elected at the General Meeting, through the list system, for four years, coinciding with the financial years, and may be reappointed once or twice, under the terms and with the legally estab- lished limits, and take up office as soon as they are elected, without further formalities. When electing the members of the Supervisory Board, the General Meeting must, mandatorily, elect one of them to perform the duties of Chairman.
Without prejudice to the provisions in number 2 of article 10 of the Articles of Association, as with the other governing bodies, the members of the Supervisory Board were also appointed to perform duties during the two-year period 2009/2010.
Although in this case, an alternate member of the Supervisory Board was appointed at the time of the constitution of the Company on 30 November 2009, the Articles of Association do not foresee any specific rule for the replacement of the members of this board, so the general system established in the Commercial Companies Code will be applicable on this matter, that is, any permanent members of the Supervisory Board who are temporarily prevented from holding office or whose duties have terminated will be replaced by alternates under the terms and conditions established therein.
II.12. Number of meetings of the management and supervisory bodies and other committees constituted with compe- tence on matters of management and supervision during the year in question.
During 2010, the leadership of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group was assured by the company TD-EC, which carried out the monthly monitoring of the evolution of the Group's activity and economic-financial situation, both in individual and consolidated terms, with its Board of Directors having held 43 meetings and its Supervisory Board having held 7 meetings in 2010.
In addition to the meetings noted above, in 2010 the Board of Directors of TD,SA held 7 meetings, in which the Chairman of the Supervisory Board participated in the meeting of approval of the Company's accounts, both in individual and consolidated terms, and the Supervisory Board of TD,SA held 4 meetings.
II.13. Indication of the number of meetings of the Executive Committee or Executive Board of Directors, and reference to the drawing up of the minutes of these meetings and their remittance, accompanied by the call notices, as applicable, to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board or of the Audit Committee, to the Chairman of the General and Supervisory Board and to the Chairman of the Financial Matters Committee.
The present rule is not applicable to TD,SA, because, as described above, there is no Executive Committee, Audit Committee, General and Supervisory Board or Financial Matters Committee, and all the members of the Board of Directors currently perform executive duties, including the respective Chairman.
However, it should be noted that the Directors provide all the information requested by other members of the governing bodies, in due time and in a manner suitable to the request. Moreover, all the minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors are sent to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 92 Corporate Governance Report 2010
II.14. Distinction between the executive and non-executive members and, amongst them, discrimination between the members which would comply, if the rules of incompatibilities established in number 1 of article 414-A of the Commercial Companies Code were applicable to them, with the exception laid out in sub-paragraph b), and the criteria of independ- ence established in number 5 of article 414, both in the Commercial Companies Code.
Considering that all the members of the Board of Directors perform executive duties, the present rule is not applicable to TD,SA.
Nevertheless and on this issue, it is important to disclose, with respect to the independence of its members, that the Board of Directors consid- ers that none are under any circumstances capable of affecting their impartiality in analysis and decision-making.
In view of the adopted corporate model, the composition and mode of operation of its governing bodies, namely the executive character of the Board of Directors and the independence of the Supervisory Board and Chartered Accountants Company, without their being any delegation of competences, either amongst them or to other Committees, TD,SA considers that the appointment of non-executive members to perform duties within the Board of Directors would not result in any significant benefits to the good operation of the adopted model which has proved to be suitable and efficient.
II.15. Indication of the legal and regulatory rules and other criteria underlying the assessment of the independence of its members made by the management board.
Not applicable, as described in the previous number.
II.16. Indication of the rules of the process of selection of candidates to non-executive Directors and way they ensure the non-interference of the executive Directors in this process.
Not applicable, as described in the previous two numbers.
II.17. Reference to the fact that the company's annual management report should include a description of the activity developed by the non-executive Directors and any constraints which have been detected.
Not applicable, considering that all the members of the Board of Directors perform executive duties.
II.18. Professional qualifications of the members of the Board of Directors, indication of the professional activities carried out by them, at least, over the past five years, number of company shares they own, date of their first appointment and end of the term of office.

As noted in I.16, in 2010, the Remuneration Committee did not submit the remuneration policy statement for the assessment of the share- holders, relative to the Company's senior managers, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, because, on that date, the Company was not yet bound to such duties and since the members of the Board of Directors did not receive any remuneration for the performance of their duties.
However, it should be noted that the Remuneration Committee of TD-EC issued the respective remuneration policy statement relative to the Management and Supervisory Bodies, which was approved at the General Meeting of that company with 99.71% of the votes in favour, 0.01% of abstentions and 0.29% of the votes against.
Since the members of the Board of Directors of TD,SA were, during the year under analysis, the same in both companies, we consider that it is appropriate, herein, to reproduce the content of the abovementioned statement:
With the entry into force of the reform of the Commercial Companies Code of 2006, Teixeira Duarte adapted its corporate model to include a Board of Directors and two autonomous supervisory bodies, the Supervisory Board and the Chartered Accountants Company.
The Board of Directors issued a statement clarifying that there are no other senior managers in the Company, in observance of number 3 of article 248-B of the Securities Market Code, that is, employees who, not being members of the management and supervisory bod- ies, have regular access to privileged information and participate in the decisions on business management and strategy.
Hence, the present statement covers only the identified Management and Supervisory Bodies.
The remuneration policy presented herein and its implementation under the terms described below should take into account the com- pany's long term performance, compliance with the rules applicable to the company's activity and restraint on excessive risk-taking.
For all due effects, it is clarified that TEIXEIRA DUARTE did not take any remunerative policy or practice of other groups of companies as a comparative element for the establishment of remunerations.
Regarding the Board of Directors, the Remuneration Committee determines the values of the fixed and variable component of their remunerations in accordance with guidelines linking the performance and results of the Company as a whole, as well as the overall activity of the management board, compared with the defined objectives, taking into account the conditions and values of the remu- nerations of the other employees of the Company.
In this regard, it is important to remember that the Directors of Teixeira Duarte are "in-house people" and have been an integral part of the business for dozens of years, and that their remunerations are established in continuity and harmony with a general plan covering all employees. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 112 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The variable sum is paid to each member of the Board of Directors as a supplementary remuneration and performance bonus, in the spirit of distribution of profit, whereby this component is not related to the evolution of the stock market prices of the Company's shares, but rather depends on the net income for the year, the development of corporate business and the performance of the respec- tive duties by each member.
No Director is entitled to receive any variable component to his remuneration unless it is specifically attributed by the Remuneration Committee.
There is no plan of the possibility of the payment of the variable component taking place, totally or partially, after the calculation of the accounts for the years corresponding to the entire term of office.
There are no mechanisms limiting the variable remuneration, in the event of the net income showing an important deterioration in the company's performance in the last calculated year or when such is expected for the year in progress.
There is no system for the attribution of shares or rights to acquire options on shares or any other share incentive scheme.
In the overall remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, no sum is paid in the form of profit-sharing.
The Directors of Teixeira Duarte receive no remuneration, of any nature, paid by companies that are in a controlling or group relation- ship with it.
There are no other relevant non-cash benefits, apart from those established by this Committee.
No sums have been paid, and nor are any payments foreseen, relative to the dismissal or termination of office through agreement of Directors.
All the members of the Supervisory Board, under the current system established by the Commercial Companies Code, receive a fixed remuneration for the performance of the duties inherent to the respective positions, determined by this Remuneration Committee, and none received any other retribution from Teixeira Duarte or other company with which it was in a controlling or group relationship, in particular for any other services provided to these entities.
Likewise, and as referred to above on the Management Board, there is no scheme for the attribution of shares and/or rights to acquire options on shares and/or any other share incentive scheme, nor any sum paid under the form of profit-sharing, nor any other relevant non-cash benefits.
The remuneration of the Chartered Accountants Company is determined in accordance with the volume and quality of the services provided in the context of the duties entrusted under the terms of the Law and Articles of Association.
In the case of Teixeira Duarte, this supervisory body is responsible for conducting all the examinations and verifications required for the review and legal certification of the Company's accounts, for which an amount was established in the form of an annual overall value WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 113 Corporate Governance Report 2010
to be paid under the terms and within the periods of time defined with the Board of Directors in accordance with the sensitivity and monitoring of the business and activity of this Supervisory Body.
The same Chartered Accountants Company also provides services, exclusively of the same nature, of legal review of accounts and audit- ing, to other entities integrated in the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, receiving from them the corresponding retributions, the overall value of which is disclosed in the Corporate Governance Report.
Gradually and since the alteration of the corporate model of Teixeira Duarte in 2007, following the reform of the Commercial Compa- nies Code, the Supervisory Board has played an increasingly more active role in the monitoring of the work of the Chartered Account- ants Company, and so this Board should be consulted to issue an opinion on the establishment of the remunerations of this Chartered Accountants Company.
It is based on the remuneration policy presented above that this Committee specifically establishes the exact values of the remunera- tions of the members of the indicated management and supervisory bodies of the company, in accordance with the personal opinion of their members, expressed in a deliberation drawn up in minutes and whose content is then communicated to the Board of Directors for implementation, under the strict terms defined therein.
These values have been disclosed on an annual basis in the Corporate Governance Report to which reference is made for an assessment of the implementation of the Remuneration Policy relative to the governing bodies of Teixeira Duarte.
The Remuneration Committee of TD,SA plans to submit, for the assessment of the General Meeting, a statement on the policy of remuneration of the senior managers of the Company.
II.31. Indication of the annual value of the remuneration received individually by the members of the management and supervisory bodies of the company, including fixed and variable remuneration and, relative to the latter, mention of its different components, the portion deferred and portion already paid.
In accordance with the above, the members of the management board of TD,SA did not receive any remuneration for the performance of these duties during 2010.
However, the abovementioned members of the Board of Directors received the respective remuneration for the performance of the same du- ties in TD-EC, former holding of the Group, that TD,SA later replaced as the leading listed company.
Under these assumptions and taking into consideration that the members of the governing bodies will begin to receive the respective remu- neration for the performance of their duties at TD,SA and not at TD-EC, it is important to specify the remuneration received by each while still in their capacity of members of the governing bodies of TD-EC, during the financial year of 2010.
During 2010, the total value of the remunerations received collectively by the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 1,611,936.28, and the remunerations received individually by the members of this body was as follows: WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 114 Corporate Governance Report 2010

During 2010, no pension rights were acquired.
All the members of the Supervisory Board receive, under the current system established in the Commercial Companies Code and as deter- mined by the Remuneration Committee, fixed remunerations for the performance of the duties inherent to the respective positions, which, in 2010, were as follows:
Supervisory Board of TD,SA Fixed Remuneration Variable Remuneration Total Remuneration Mr. António Gonçalves Monteiro 15,000.00 0.00 15,000.00 Mr. Mateus Moreira 9,000.00 0.00 9,000.00 Mr. Miguel Carmo Pereira Coutinho 9,000.00 0.00 9,000.00 33,000.00 0.00 33,000.00
Due to the fact that during part of 2010, TD-EC was still the leading listed company of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, the abovementioned members of the Supervisory Board of TD,SA received from the former company while also being members of the Supervisory Board of the latter, fixed remunerations for the performance of the duties inherent to the respective positions, determined by the Remuneration Committee of TD-EC, which during that year were identical to those of TD,SA, that is:
Supervisory Board of TD-EC Fixed Remuneration Variable Remuneration Total Remuneration Mr. António Gonçalves Monteiro 15,000.00 0.00 15,000.00 Mr. Mateus Moreira 9,000.00 0.00 9,000.00 Mr. Miguel Carmo Pereira Coutinho 9,000.00 0.00 9,000.00 33,000.00 0.00 33,000.00
The total value paid to the Chartered Accountants Company MARIQUITO, CORREIA & ASSOCIADOS – SROC was:
Remuneration Services of legal accounts review of the Group's accounts 272,500.00 Other guarantee and reliability services Tax consultancy services Services other than accounts legal review services 272,500.00 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 115 Corporate Governance Report 2010
All the values listed above were paid during 2010, therefore there are no portions whose payment is deferred over time.
II.32. Information on how the remuneration is structured so as to permit the alignment of the interests of the members of the management board with the long-term interests of the company, as well as on how it it is based on the assessment of performance and discourages excessive risk taking.
In addition to the obligations inherent to the performance of the actual duties, the remuneration of the Directors also, complimentarily, acts to meet the alignment of their interests with those of the Company. Indeed, the remuneration is determined by this Committee elected at the General Meeting, which establishes these values in accordance with guidelines linking the performance and results of the Company as a whole, as well as the overall activity of the management board, compared with the defined objectives, taking into account the conditions and values of the remunerations of the other employees of the Company.
II.33. Regarding the remuneration of the executive Directors: a) Reference to the fact that the remuneration of the executive Directors includes a variable component and information on how this component depends on the assessment of performance;
The remuneration of the Directors includes a variable component - which is not related to the evolution of the stock market prices of the Company's shares, but rather depends on the net income for the year, the development of corporate business –, and, furthermore, no Director is entitled to any variable component of his remuneration unless it is specifically attributed by the Remuneration Committee, under the terms and on the grounds established by the Remuneration Committee. b) Indication of the governing bodies which are competent to carry out the assessment of the performance of the execu- tive Directors;
The competent body for the assessment of the performance of the Company's Directors, all of whom are executive, is the General Meeting, which, under the terms of number 1 of article 376 of the Commercial Companies Code, carries out an annual general assessment of the management and supervision of the Company.
Moreover, the Remuneration Committee assesses the activity developed by each Director for the purpose of establishing the respective re- muneration. c) Indication of the predetermined criteria for the assessment of the performance of the executive Directors;
There are no predetermined criteria for the assessment of the performance of the Executive Directors. Indeed, all the Directors are assessed in accordance with their respective performance during the year, based on fixed and achievable objectives, the Company's net income and various other parameters which, due to their diversity and variation over the years, are not to be considered exhaustive but rather adaptable to the circumstances of each period and each specific situation. d) Detailed explanation of the relative importance of the variable and fixed components of the remuneration of the WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 116 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Directors and indication of the ceilings for each component;
In 2010, the total value of the variable remunerations represented 62.4% of the total value received.
As noted in a), the variable component of the remuneration of Director depends on the net income for the year and the development of corporate business. Therefore, there is no ceiling for each component, but rather an attribution in conformity with the parameters identified above and the assessment of the performance and execution of the respective duties by each Director. e) Indication of the deferral of the payment of the variable component of the remuneration, mentioning the period of deferral;
The payment of the variable component earned in 2010 was not deferred. f) Explanation on how the payment of the variable remuneration is subject to the continuation of the positive perfor- mance of the company over the period of deferral;
Not applicable. The payment of the variable component of the remuneration was no deferred, although it is intrinsically dependent on the net income for the year and development of corporate business. In this regard, it is important to remember that the Directors of TD,SA are "in-house people" and have been an integral part of the business for dozens of years, and that their remunerations are placed in the context of a general plan covering all employees. They are not managers by trade who are there for merely circumstantial reasons or personal interests of the shareholders. g) Sufficient information on the criteria underlying the attribution of variable remuneration in shares as well as on the holding, by the executive Directors, of company shares to which they might have accessed, on any signing of contracts relative to these shares, namely, hedging or risk transfer contracts, the respective limit, and their relation to the value of the annual total remuneration;
Not applicable. The variable retribution is not attributed in shares and no contracts have been signed with the characteristics described above. h) Sufficient information on the criteria underlying the attribution of variable remuneration in options and indication of the deferral period and price for exercise of the option;
Not applicable. The variable retribution is not attributed through options. i) Identification of the main parameters and grounds of any system of annual bonuses and any other non-cash benefits;
As noted above, the Remuneration Committee takes into consideration, apart from the performance of the Directors, the net income of the Company as a whole, as well as the overall activity of the management board, compared with the defined objectives, taking into account the conditions and values of the remunerations of the other employees of the Company.
Furthermore, no relevant non-cash benefits were attributed to the Directors of the Company. j) Remuneration paid in the form of profit-sharing and/or payment of bonuses and the reasons for the award of such WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 117 Corporate Governance Report 2010
bonuses and/or profit-sharing;
In the overall remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors, no sum is paid in the form of profit-sharing.
The members of the Board of Directors are paid a sum as a performance bonus and the distribution of profit. l) Compensation paid or owed to former executive Directors relative to their termination of office during the financial year;
No compensation has been paid, or is owed, to any former executive Directors relative to their termination of office during the financial year. Furthermore, it should be noted that the only Director who terminated office, and during 2011, was not paid any compensation, nor is any- thing owed in that regard. m) Reference to the contractual limit established for the compensation payable for the unfair dismissal of a Director and its relationship with the variable component of the remuneration;
There is no contractual limit established for the compensation payable for the unfair dismissal of a member of the Board of Directors, consider- ing, firstly, that no contract us signed for the performance of the duties of the position of Director, nor is any agreement signed on any possible compensation payable for fair or unfair dismissal. The existence of a contractual limit under the terms referred to above would be incoherent, in view of the characteristics of the existing relationship between the Company and the members of its Management board.
The same applies to the existence of appropriate legal instruments so that the compensation established for any form of unfair dismissal is not paid if the dismissal or termination by agreement is due to the inadequate performance of the Director. n) Amounts paid, for any reason, by other companies in a controlling or group relationship;
As explained above, the Directors of TD,SA earn their remuneration through TD-EC. However, they receive no remuneration, of any nature, paid by companies that are in a controlling or group relationship with either TD,SA or TD-EC. o) Description of the main characteristics of supplementary pension or early retirement schemes for Directors, indicating if they were, or not, subject to the assessment of the General Meeting;
Regarding any retired former Directors, it should be mentioned that the Remuneration Committee is responsible for establishing all the amounts paid in this context, under all circumstances.
As to the attribution of supplementary pension schemes, the actual Articles of Association establish, in article 22, transcribed below, the terms and criteria on which the Remuneration Committee should base the establishment of such amounts:
ARTICLE TWENTY-TWO
ONE - When people who have performed duties as Directors cease to hold office, the Company may grant them a retirement pension for life, whenever they meet one of the following requirements: WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 118 Corporate Governance Report 2010
a) Have held that position in this Company for over ten years, counting, for the effect, the years of service under the same position at TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A.; b) Have provided, even with a shorter period of holding this position, a total of over twenty-five years of service to this Company, counting, for the effect, the years of service at TEIXEIRA DUARTE - Engenharia e Construções, S.A.;
TWO - The value of this pension will be determined taking into consideration the time or relevance of the services provided and the situ- ation of the beneficiary, and should be reviewed on an annual basis but can never be greater than the highest remuneration received any given time by the permanent Directors.
THREE - Through delegation of the General Meeting, hereby established, the Remuneration Committee referred to in Article Eleven will be responsible for the assessment of the cases submitted to it and establishing the values and other procedures for the award of pensions. p) Estimate of the value of any relevant non-cash benefits considered as remuneration not covered in the previous situations;
There are no other relevant non-cash benefits, apart from those established by this Committee and listed above. q) Existence of mechanisms preventing Directors from signing contracts which place in question the underlying rationale of the variable remuneration.
There are no mechanisms of this type, in view of the relationship between the Company and its Directors and the absence of any contractual binding that might place in question the underlying rationale of the variable remuneration, beyond the fact that this component of the remu- neration is not attributed based on predetermined criteria, as described above.
II.34. Reference to the fact that the remuneration of the non-executive Directors of the management board does not include variable components.
Not applicable, considering that there are no non-executive Directors.
II.35. Information on the policy on the communication of irregular practices adopted by the company (means of com- munication, persons with legitimacy to receive the communications, treatment to be made of the communications and indication of the persons and bodies with access to the information and respective intervention in the procedure).
Regarding the policy of communication of irregularities which have allegedly occurred, the Company encourages its employees to provide information, through the means they deem convenient – direct contact, written document, e-mail or telephone – to the respective hierar- chies of any detected irregularities. The persons with legitimacy to receive these communications are their superiors (directors and persons responsible for operating centres and central departments).
Whenever deemed appropriate to the correct establishment of the facts and responsibilities inherent to their practice, the corresponding WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 119 Corporate Governance Report 2010
proceedings or enquiries are initiated, also safeguarding the necessary confidentiality of the communication when requested by the declar- ant or deemed convenient by the receiver, without prejudice to this not being followed if the persecution is revealed to be of no value to the organisation.
The proceedings are monitored by the person responsible for the department where the alleged irregularity has occurred, using people who are not involving in these situations and, if appropriate, the legal services and central department for human resources and administrative services.
The proceedings are subject to the decision of the hierarchies involved, which shall be reported to the Board of Directors and any other entities to which it is mandatory that this communication must be provided.
In addition to the abovementioned rules and especially from the point of view of the other stakeholders, an Investor Support Office is also available for the reporting of any possible irregularities, and likewise the Company's supervisory bodies, that is, the Supervisory Board and the Chartered Accountants Company.
SECTION V – SPECIALISED COMMITTEES
II.36. Identification of the members of the committees constituted for the effects of the assessment of the individual and overall performance of the executive Directors, reflection on the system of governance adopted by the company and identification of potential candidates with the profile for the position of Director.
As described in II.2, as a result of the organisational model and the different governing bodies, it was not considered appropriate to create any committees for the effect of the assessment of the individual and overall performance of the executive Directors, reflection on the system of governance adopted by the company and identification of potential candidates with the profile for the position of Director.
II.37 Number of meetings of the committees constituted with competence in management and supervisory matters dur- ing the financial year in question, and reference to the drawing up of the minutes of these meetings.
Not applicable (cf. II.2 and II.36).
II.38 Reference to the fact of a member of the remuneration committee having knowledge and experience on matters of remuneration policy.
Currently, the Remuneration Committee is composed of the following persons, appointed at the time of the constitution of the company on 30 November 2009, to perform duties during the term of office 2009/2010:
Mr. Pedro Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 120 Corporate Governance Report 2010
Mr. Manuel Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte
Mr. António Carlos Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte
Mr. Pedro Pereira Coutinho Teixeira Duarte is not considered independent in relation to the members of the Board of Directors, because his father is Mr. Pedro Maria Calainho Teixeira Duarte, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Since TD,SA is controlled by companies owned by members of the Teixeira Duarte family, it is naturally not recommended that any of them should be part of the Remuneration Com- mittee. Traditionally and during decades, this has been the practice and always in conformity with the current rules and recommendations on the remuneration of the members of the Management Board established by the CMVM, therefore there is no reason to change this. It is important to stress that this is a Company which, following the example of TD-EC, which it replaced as a holding of the Group, with its own specific way of acting, its distinctive business image, which has adopted a very particular way of being, a healthy management policy, that, before the public and market has been recognised as such.
However, it should be noted that, as at 31 December 2010, all the members of the Remuneration Committee have the status of independent under the terms legally defined in article 414 of the Commercial Companies Code.
All the members of the Remuneration Committee have knowledge and experience on matters of remuneration policy, taking into account that they have been performing these duties for several years.
Whenever a meeting of the Remuneration Committee is held, minutes are drawn up which are then transcribed to the corresponding Book and filed in the Company's vaults.
At least two members of the Remuneration Committee were present at the sessions of the General Meeting of TD,SA during 2010.
II.39. Reference to the independence of the natural or legal persons contracted by the Remuneration Committee through a work or service contract relative to the board of directors as well as, when applicable, to the fact that these persons are currently connected to a consultant of the company.
No natural or legal persons were contracted for the Remuneration Committee.
CHAPTER III
Information and Audits
Always guided by a philosophy of sobriety, accuracy and honesty, the Company discloses to the public, in a complete, true, current, clear, objective and licit manner, within the periods of time and through the established means of disclosure, not only all the facts defined legally WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 121 Corporate Governance Report 2010

III.6. Rules applicable to the alteration of the articles of association.
There are no specific rules for any alterations to the Articles of Association, with the general rules established in the Commercial Companies Code being applicable, in particular the provisions in articles 85, 383, number 2 and 386.
III.7. Control mechanisms established for any system of participation of the workers in the share capital to the extent that voting rights are not exercised directly by them. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 123 Corporate Governance Report 2010
There is no system of participation of the workers in the share capital, therefore there is no justification for the existence of control mechanisms to the extent that the voting rights are not exercised directly by them.
III.8. Description of the evolution of the stock market prices of the shares of the issuer, taking into account, namely:
a) The issuance of shares or other securities extending entitlement to the subscription or acquisition of shares;

III.9. Description of the policy on the distribution of dividends adopted by the company, identifying, namely, the value of the dividend per share distributed over the last three financial years.
The Company´s policy is to prioritise the reinforcement of the company's equity, while at the same time ensuring a continued and balanced distribution of dividends.
During 2009, the net value of the dividend distributed was EUR 0.01 per share.
For 2010, the Board of Directors proposed the distribution of dividends of EUR 0.015 per share.
III.10. Description of the main characteristics of the plans to attribute shares and of the plans to attribute share purchase options which have been adopted or were in force during the financial year in question, namely, justification for the adoption of the plan, category and number of beneficiaries of the plan, conditions of attribution, clauses on the inability to dispose of shares, criteria relative to the price of the shares and price for the exercise of options, period during which the options can be exercised, characteristics of the shares to be attributed, existence of incentives for the acquisition of shares and/or exercise of options and competence of the management board to implement or modify the plan.
Indication of: a) The number of shares required for the exercise of the attributed options and of the number of shares required for the exercise of options which can be exercised, with reference to the beginning and end of the year; b) The number of options attributed, able to be exercised and extinguished during the year; c) The assessment at the general meeting of the characteristics of the plans which were adopted or were in force during the financial year in question.
As described in I.17, there are no plans relative to the attribution of shares or attribution of options for the acquisition of shares. Some years ago, and in relation to TD-EC, depending on the circumstances and economic environment, there were reference shareholders who provided a certain number of shares to be assigned to the staff members of this Company with defined periods of time and at specified prices. However, regarding TD,SA and relative to the year under consideration, there were no such operations.
III.11. Description of the main elements of the businesses and operations carried out between, on the one hand, the company and, on the other hand, members of its management and supervisory bodies or companies in a controlling or group relationship with it, provided that they are significant in economic terms for any of the parties involved, except with respect to businesses or operations which, cumulatively, are carried out under normal market conditions for similar operations and are part of the current activity of the company.
No businesses or operations with the characteristics described above were undertaken. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 125 Corporate Governance Report 2010
III.12. Description of the fundamental elements of the businesses and operations carried out between the company and owners of qualifying holdings or entities that are in any relationship with it, under the terms of article 20 of the Securities Market Code, outside of normal market conditions.
No businesses or operations with the characteristics described above were undertaken.
III.13. Description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the intervention of the supervisory body for the effects of the prior assessment of transactions to be carried out between the company and owners of the qualifying holdings or entities which are in any relationship with it, under the terms of article 20 of the Securities Market Code.
There are no procedures and criteria under the terms mentioned above since the type of operations carried out between the Company and owners of qualifying holdings are financed by Banco Comercial Português, S.A., which is considered to be a matter of the exclusive responsibil- ity and competence of the Board of Directors and which, naturally, concerns operations carried out under normal market conditions, whereby it is deemed inappropriate to subject these transactions to the prior opinion of the supervisory bodies.
III.14. Description of the statistics (number, average value and maximum value) relative to the transactions subject to the prior intervention of the supervisory body.
As described in the previous point, there are no transactions subject to the prior intervention of the supervisory body.
III.15. Indication of the provision, on the company's website, of the annual reports on the activity developed by the gen- eral and supervisory board, financial matters committee, audit committee and supervisory board, including indication of any constraints encountered, together with the documents presenting the accounts.
Under the terms and for the effect of the CMVM Recommendations on this matter, and as described above in II.4, the Annual Reports on the activity developed by the Supervisory Board, including the description of the supervisory activity developed and referring to any constraints encountered, have been disclosed every year on the Company's website, together with the documents presenting the accounts, always in observance of the rules and periods of time established in the Law and other applicable regulations.
III.16. Reference to the existence of an Investor Support Office or other similar service, indicating: a) Duties of the Office; WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 126 Corporate Governance Report 2010
b) Type of information provided by the Office; c) Means of access to the Office; d) The company's website; e) Identification of the representative for market relations.
In order to reinforce the policy of disclosure of information referred to above, with a view to ensuring strict compliance with the principle of equality among shareholders and for the purpose of preventing any asymmetries in access to information on the part of investors, the Company has an Investor Support Office, which operates directly under Mr. Manuel Maria Calainho de Azevedo Teixeira Duarte, Director with this area of responsibility, also integrating Mr. José Pedro Cobra Ferreira, Representative for Market Relations, duly registered at the CMVM.
All the information required by investors and available under the rules, regulations and other applicable directives is provided by this Office and may be accessed through the following means of communication:
Address: Lagoas Park, Edifício Dois, 2740-265, Porto Salvo, Oeiras Tel: + 351 217 912 415 Fax: + 351 217 912 421 e-mail: [email protected]
III.17. Indication of the value of the annual remuneration paid to the auditor and to other natural or legal persons be- longing to the same network supported by the company or by legal persons in a controlling or group, as well as details of the percentage relative to the following services: a) Legal review of accounts services; b) Other guarantee and reliability services; c) Tax consultancy services; d) Services other than the legal review of accounts.
If the auditor provides any of the services described in sub-paragraphs c) and d), a description should be made of the means to safeguard the independence of the auditor.
(For the effect of this information, the concept of network is as defined in European Commission Recommendation num- ber C (2002) 1873, of 16 May.) WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 127 Corporate Governance Report 2010
The External Auditor should, under its competences, verify the application of the remuneration policies and systems, the effectiveness and operation of the internal control mechanisms and report any flaws to the company's supervisory board, pursuant to the provisions in CMVM Recommendation number III.1.4.
It should also be noted that neither the External Auditor, nor any other entities in a holding relationship or which are part of the same network, provide TD,SA any services other than audit services.
The retribution of the Chartered Accountants Company is determined in accordance with the volume and quality of the services provided in the context of the duties entrusted under the terms of the Law and Articles of Association.
For the specific purposes of the applicable rules, we disclose that, during the year ended 31 December 2010, the auditor MARIQUITO, CORREIA & ASSOCIADOS, SROC and other natural and legal persons belonging to the same network supported by the Company and/or by legal persons in a controlling or group relationship, were paid the total value of EUR 272,500.00, relative to the only services provided, that is, Legal Review of Accounts and Audit services.
III.18 Reference to the rotation period of the External Auditor.
The External Auditor was only appointed for the position in November 2009 to perform duties during the two-year period 2009/2010. Although the Chartered Accountants Company MARIQUITO, CORREIA & ASSOCIADOS, SROC had previously performed the duties inherent to Permanent Statutory Auditor of various companies of the TEIXEIRA DUARTE Group, namely at TD-EC, the truth is that such circumstances do not affect its independence in the performance of the respective functions.
The issue of the rotation of the external auditor is irrelevant since the external auditor is currently performing its first term of office.

NOTES As at 31 December 2010
1. Introductory Note:
Corporate Name: Teixeira Duarte, S.A. ("Company") Head Office: “Lagoas Park”, Edifício 2, Porto Salvo, Oeiras NIPC: 509234526 Date of Constitution: 30 November 2009 Core activity and other relevant activities: implementation and management of investments, the coordination and supervision of other companies integrated in or related to its corpo- rate group, operating essentially in the areas of strategic and organisational planning, as well as the provision of administrative, management, consultancy, operational assistance or support in terms of human resources, technical and financial services to participated companies or entities with which contracts have been signed for that effect.
The attached financial statements refer to the Company on an individual basis, with financial investments having been recorded through the equity method, as mentioned in note 3.1 a) below.
The Company will prepare and present the consolidated financial statements separately, comprising the financial statements of the companies where the former controls the manage- ment.
All the values of these notes are expressed in thousand Euros
2. Accounting Standard for the Preparation of the Financial Statements
2.1. The attached financial statements were prepared in conformity with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards (NCRF), established in the new accounting standard designated the Accounting Standardisation System (SNC), approved by Decree-Law number 158/2009, of 13 July.
2.2. None of the provisions of the Accounting Standardisation System (SNC) were derogated since it is necessary for the financial statements to give a real and appropriate image of the assets, liabilities and net income of the entity.
2.3. The financial information relative to the year ended on 31 December 2009, the last year of adoption of the Portuguese Official Audit Plan (POC), and transition period for the effect of the first adoption of the Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards (NCRF), was constructed in compliance with NCRF 3 – First-time adoption of the NCRF, having involved, before the adjustments disclosed in the present notes, reclassifications of all the headings of the balance sheet, income statement by nature and cash flow statement, redistributing the respective monetary sums from the previous classifications in accordance with the encoding of the POC accounts, to the encoding of the accounts established in the SNC and in the respective financial statement models.
2.4. First-time adoption of the NCRF
The effect of the transition to the SNC in the period ended on 31 December 2009 was as follows: a) Reconciliation of the equity reported in accordance with the previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (PCGA) with the equity following the NCRF, between the date of transition to the NCRF and the end of the last period presented in the most recent annual financial statements, prepared according to the previous PCGA:
Equity as at 31/12/2009 (POC) 299,114 Adjustment in the equity method (11,233) Equity as at 31/12/2009 (SNC) 287,881 b) Reconciliation of the net income reported in accordance with the previous Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (PCGA), relative to the last period of the most recent annual financial statements, with the net income following the NCRF relative to the same period:
Net Income as at 31/12/2009 (POC) 6,955 Adjustment in the equity method (6,167) Net Income as at 31/12/2009 (SNC) 788 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 134 Financial Statements 2010
c) The first financial statements in accordance with the NCRF are not the first financial statements presented.
2.5. Teixeira Duarte, S.A. (TD,SA) was constituted on 30 November 2009, which is why the accounts for 2009 and 2010 are not comparable.
3. Main Accounting Policies
3.1. Basis of Measurement
These financial statements were prepared under the assumption of the continuity of operations and in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Portugal. a) Financial Investments
Financial investments in subsidiary companies are recorded using the equity method, whereby the holdings are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, then increased or reduced by the difference between that acquisition cost and the value proportional to the holding owned in the equity of those companies, reported on the acquisition date or on the first application of the abovementioned method.
In accordance with the equity method, financial investments are adjusted periodically by the value corresponding to the participation in the net results of the subsidiary companies against income and gains or costs and losses in subsidiaries, and by any other variations which might have occurred in their equity against the heading "Adjustments in financial as- sets", as well as by the recognition of impairment losses. Furthermore, the dividends received from these companies are recorded as a reduction in the value of financial investments.
Losses in subsidiaries which exceed the investment made in those entities are not recognised unless the Company has undertaken commitments in relation to them. b) Impairment of assets
On each reporting date, and whenever an event or alteration in circumstances is identified which indicates that the amount for which the asset is recorded may not be recoverable, an assessment is made of the assets' impairment.
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 respective headings, according to their nature.
The recoverable amount is the highest value between the net sales price and the usage value. The net sales price is the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in a transaction between independent and knowledgeable parties, minus the costs directly attributable to the sale. The usage value is the net present value of the estimated future cash flow which would be expected to arise from the continued use of the asset and its disposal at the end of its working life. The recoverable value is estimated for each asset, individually or, when this is not possible, for the unit generating the cash flow to which the asset belongs.
A reversal of impairment losses recognised in previous years is recorded when it is concluded that the previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is immediately recognised in the income statement under the respective headings. The reversal 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 years. c) Accruals and Deferrals
Income and costs are recorded on an accrual basis, through which they are recognised as they are generated. When the real value of the costs and income is unknown they are estimated.
The differences between the amounts received and paid and the corresponding income and costs are recorded under Other accounts receivable and Deferrals (current and non-current) in the Assets and under Other accounts payable and Deferrals (current and non-current) in the Liabilities. d) Costs of Loans Obtained
Costs related to loans are recorded in the income statement of the period to which they refer. e) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party in the contractual relationship. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 135 Financial Statements 2010
f) Cash and cash equivalents
The amounts included in Cash and cash equivalents correspond to cash, bank deposits, term deposits and other cash investments, with a maturity of less than three months and which can be immediately mobilised with no significant risk of change in value. g) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the nature of the contract regardless of their legal form. The equity instruments present a residual interest in the Company's assets after deduction of the liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the amount received net of costs incurred with their issuance. h) Balances payable
The accounts payable are recognised initially at their respective fair value which is equivalent to the fair value of their payment. i) Bank loans
Loans are recorded initially and recognised under liabilities at the nominal value received. Financial costs are recognised as costs for the period in which they are incurred. j) Corporate income tax
"Income tax for the period" corresponds to the sum of current tax and deferred tax.
Current income tax is calculated based on the taxable profit of the entity in accordance with the tax rules in force, while deferred tax results from the temporary differences between the amount of the assets and liabilities for the effect of accounts reporting (book value) and the respective amounts for tax purposes (tax base).
Deferred tax assets are calculated and assessed annually using the taxation rates which are in force or announced to be in force on the expected date of the reversal of the temporary differences.
Deferred taxes assets are recognised only when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future taxable profits for their use, or in situations where there are temporary differences for taxation purposes which compensate the deductible temporary differences in the period of their reversal.
At the end of each period these deferred taxes are reviewed and reduced whenever their future use is not longer probable.
Deferred taxes are recorded as a cost or income for the year, unless they result from values recorded directly under equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded under the same heading.
3.2. Value Judgements of the Board of Directors
When preparing the financial statements, the entity adopted certain assumptions and estimates which affect the related assets, liabilities, income and costs. All the estimates and as- sumptions made by the Board of Directors were based on the best existing knowledge, at the date of the approval of the financial statements, of the events and transactions in progress.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include accrued costs relative to the participation of profit.

6.2. Investments in subsidiaries
The following movements occurred in the equity interests held in subsidiaries for the years ended on 31 December 2010 and 2009:
Holdings Balance as at 1 January 2009 - Effects of the application of the equity method: - Effect on net income for the year 799 Increases 287,881 Balance as at 31 December 2009 288,680 Balance as at 1 January 2010 288,680 Effects of the application of the equity method: - Effect on net income for the year 101,417 - Effect on equity 55,154 Increases 132,119 Balance as at 31 December 2010 577,370
The increase in the holding of Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. (TD-EC) which occurred in the year ended on 31 December 2010 resulted from the increase in share capital carried out by the Company and paid through new entries in kind. Therefore, the Company became the owner of a further 132,119,201 TD-EC shares, through the exchange of the same number of shares which constituted the abovementioned increase in share capital.
Thus fulfilling the proposal assumed during 2009 by the Company of the acquisition of the entirety of the 420,000,000 shares constituting the share capital of TD-EC.
The main financial information relative to the subsidiary companies is as follows:

7. Corporate income tax
The Company is subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC) at the rate of 12.5% on the taxable amount of up to EUR 12,500, and at the rate of 25% on the remaining taxable amount. In addition to Corporate Income Tax, the Municipal Tax (Derrama Municipal) is also applied, incident on taxable profit and whose rate may vary to a maximum of 1.5%. Furthermore, as of 1 January 2010 taxable profit in excess of EUR 2,000 thousand will be subject to the State Tax (Derrama Estadual) of 2.5%. 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. This difference between the book value results and the results for tax purposes may be of a temporary or permanent nature.
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 (five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been reported, 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 Company's tax statements for the years of 2009 to 2010 may still be subject to review.
The tax losses generated in Portugal up to the year ended on 31 December 2009 are reportable during a period of six years after their occurrence and may be deducted from tax profits generated during that period. Tax losses generated as of 1 January 2010 may be reported over a period of four years after their occurrence.
The Company 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 NCRF 25 – Income Tax, whenever it is probable that future tax profits will be generated against which the temporary differences may be used. It should be noted that this assessment is based on the Company's business plan, which is periodically reviewed and updated.
Under the terms of article 88 of the Corporate Income Tax Code, the Company is also subject to autonomous taxation on a number of expenses at rates set forth in the abovementioned article. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 138 Financial Statements 2010

Pursuant to Decree-Law number 411/91, of 17 October, the Board of Directors informs that the situation of the Company before Social Security is settled, within the legally stipulated periods of time.
10. Legal reserve
The Portuguese commercial legislation establishes that at least 5% of annual net income should be used to reinforce the legal reserve until it represents at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable, except in the case of the Company's liquidation, but may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves have been exhausted, and incorporated in the share capital.
11. Application of Net Income
Through decision of the General Meeting held on 6 September 2010, the accounts for the year ended on 31 December 2009 were approved and it was decided that the net income should be applied as follows:
2009 Legal Reserve 500 Free Reserves 2,391 Dividends 4,064 6,955
12. External Supplies and Services
The external supplies and services for the years ended on 31 December 2010 and 2009 were broken down as follows:
2010 2009 Specialised work 458 7 Fees 17 - Banking services 72 - Other 15 - 562 7 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 140 Financial Statements 2010
The expenditure on external supplies and services incurred in the year ended on 31 December 2010 were almost entirely the result of the public takeover bid, in the form of a public ex- change offer on all the remaining share capital of TD-EC, the share capital increase carried out through new entries in kind and through the listing of these shares on the Stock Exchange.
13. Contingent Liabilities
13.1. It is disclosed that during 2010, the Tax Inspection Authorities (DSIT) carried out external inspections to the company Teixeira Duarte - Gestão de Participações Investimentos Imobiliários, S.A. (hereinafter designated TDGPII, S.A.), which is 100% owned by the subsidiary company TD-EC. As a result of these external inspections, of a general scope, to the accounting documentation of TDGPII, S.A. and relative to 2006, 2007 and 2008, the following corrections were made to the initially calculated tax losses:
Year Calculated Tax Loss DGCI Correction 2006 24,950 18,837 2007 51,176 29,331 2008 64,606 45,327
These corrections result entirely from the non-acceptance, as a tax cost, of the financial costs incurred with the investment in subsidiary companies under the form of additional paid-in capital.
Since TDGPII S.A. is subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC) in accordance with the Special Taxation Scheme for Groups of Companies (article 69 and following of the IRC Code), the cor- rections to the tax losses of 2006 and 2007 were the object of IRC Settlement Statements issued to the controlling company – TD-EC, which filed a judicial review at the Administrative and Fiscal Court of Sintra.
Therefore, the taking of effect of the IRC Settlement Statement is suspended until the definitive decision is read on the judicial reviews which have been filed, regarding which the Board of Directors believes that its outcome will be favourable to TDGPII, S.A. and, consequently, to the controlling company.
On the date of the closing of the Financial Statements for 2010, the corrections relative to 2008 had not yet been the object of any settlement of IRC.
13.2. In the context of the financing line referred to in Note 8.3) and as its term of guarantee, TD,SA subscribed and delivered to Caixa Geral de Depósitos S.A. (CGD) during the year ended on 31 December 2010 a promissory note with a blank amount and due date, duly dated, authorising this same entity to fill in the abovementioned promissory note, when such should prove necessary, in accordance with the conditions established in the addendum to the loan contract that it signed.
14. Staff Costs

2010 2009 Remunerations 33 - Participation in profit or loss 1,500 - Payroll costs 7 - Insurance 4 - 1,544 -

1 - INTRODUCTORY NOTE
TEIXEIRA DUARTE, S.A. (TD,SA) with its headquarters in Porto Salvo, was constituted on 30 November 2009, with share capital of 1,000,000 shares at 1 Euro each, and its core business is the implementation and management of investments, the coordination and supervision of other companies integrated in or related to its corporate Group.
On 14 December 2009, the share capital of TD,SA was increased through entries in kind of 286,880,799 shares of Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. ("TD-EC"), representing 68.54% of the share capital in that company.
TD-EC was a public company, with head office in Lagoas Park, Edifício 2, Porto Salvo, Oeiras, with share capital of EUR 210,000,000, registered at Cascais Commercial Registry under taxpayer number 500.097.488.
In the context of the restructuring process presented opportunely, on 16 July 2010 TD,SA launched a general and voluntary public offer of the acquisition of the remaining shares of TD,EC through a Public Offer of Exchange of TD,SA shares. This offer was carried out in the proportion of one TD,SA share, at the nominal value of 1 Euro each for each TD-EC share.
Following this offer, a third share capital increase was carried out through the incorporation of 118,479,400 TD-EC shares, with TD,SA thus becoming the owner of 406,360,199 shares of that subsidiary, representing approximately 96.75% of the share capital of TD-EC.
On 15 November 2010, TD,SA made the shareholders of TD-EC an offer of the acquisition of the shares representing the share capital of TD-EC which did not yet belong to TD,SA, involving a total of 13,639,801 shares, under the terms of article 490 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, compensated by 13,639,801 TD,SA shares, thus making the unit value of one TD,SA share for every TD-EC share presented and delivered. Once the period of time of the abovementioned offer had ended, TD,SA promoted the registration of the acquisition of its total control on 26 November 2010, in conformity with number 3 of article 490 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, thus gaining the ownership of 100% of the shares representing the share capital of TD-EC, through the compensation of one TD,SA share for every TD-EC share acquired.
Therefore, the financial statements of TD,SA as at 31 December 2009 include the consolidation through the full method of the assets and liabilities of the Group up to then led by TD-EC, which became consolidated by TD,SA as of that date. The consolidated statements of income, full income, changes in equity and cash flows are, therefore, not comparable as a consequence of the process of takeover of control described above. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements of the Group led by TD-EC for the year ended on 31 December 2009 are available on the Company's website.
The corporate universe of Teixeira Duarte ("Group") is composed of the subsidiaries indicated in Notes 4, 22 and 23. The Group’s core activities are: Construction; Cement, Concrete and Aggregates; Concessions and Services; Real Estate; Hotel Services; Distribution; Energy and Automobile (Note 7).
The values indicated are expressed in thousand Euros.

Although these standards were approved by the European Union, they were not adopted by the Group for the year ended on 31 December 2010 because their application is not yet binding. No significant retrospective impacts are expected on the consolidated financial statements resulting from the adoption of said standards.

2.2 - Judgments and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles of the IFRS requires the Board of Directors of the Company to make judgements, 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.
Those estimates are based on the best knowledge existing at all times and in planned actions, being periodically reviewed based on the available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may lead to the need to review the estimates, so the actual 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 possible impairment loss can be triggered by the occurrence of different events, many of which are outside the sphere of influence of the Group, such as the availability of future financing, the cost of capital or any other changes, both inside and outside the Group.
The identification of impairment indicators, the estimate of future cash flows and the determination of the recoverable amount of assets imply a high degree of judgement by the Board of Directors regarding the identification and evaluation of various impairment indicators, expected cash flows, applicable discount rates, useful lives and residual values.
Goodwill impairment 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 performance of the business and discount rates considered.
Useful lives of tangible and intangible assets The useful life of an asset is the year 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 lives of assets, the amortisation / depreciation method to be applied and estimated losses resulting from the replacement of equipment before the end of its useful life, for reasons of technological obsolescence, is essential to determine the amount of amortisation / depreciation to be recognised in the consolidated income statement for each financial year.
These three parameters are defined according to the management’s best estimate for the assets and business in question, also considering the practices adopted by compa- nies in the business segments in which the Group operates.
Provisions The Group periodically reviews any obligations arising from past events and which are subject to recognition or disclosure. The subjectivity inherent in determining the likelihood of the existence of a present liability and amount of internal resources necessary for the payment of the obligations could lead to significant adjustments, either by changing the assumptions made, or by 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 use 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 the management at the end of each year and takes into consideration the expectation of future tax performance.
Impairment losses of accounts receivable The credit risk associated to accounts receivable is evaluated at the end of each reporting date, taking into account the debtor's historical information and risk profile. The accounts receivable are adjusted by the management’s assessment of the estimated risks of recovery existing on the balance sheet date, which may differ from the real risk to be incurred.
Recognition of revenue from building contracts The Group recognises the results of construction contracts in accordance with the method of percentage completion, which is defined 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 contract. The assessment of the degree of completion of each contract is periodically reviewed, taking into account the latest production indicators.

2.3 - Principles of consolidation a) Subsidiaries
The subsidiaries have been consolidated in each financial year through the full consolidation method. Control exists when the Group directly or indirectly holds a majority of the voting rights in the General Meeting, or has the power to determine the financial and operating policies.
Third party participation in the equity and net profit of these companies is presented separately in the consolidated statement of the financial position and consolidated income statement, under the respective 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-controlling 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 which have been absorbed by the Group.
The subsidiaries at 31 December 2010 are presented in Note 4. The significant transactions and balances between these companies were eliminated during the consolidation process. Capital gains arising from the sale of subsidiaries, within the Group, were also eliminated.
Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of the subsidiaries with a view to achieving the uniformity of their accounting policies with those applied by the Group. b) Jointly controlled companies
Investments in jointly controlled companies (Note 23) were consolidated through the proportional consolidation method, from the date on which joint control is acquired. According to this method, the assets, liabilities, income and expenditure of these companies were integrated into the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line basis, in proportion to the Group’s control over them.
Transactions, balances and dividends distributed between companies are eliminated in the proportion of the Group's control over them.
The classification of financial investments in jointly controlled companies is determined based on agreements that regulate the joint control. c) Business combinations
Business combinations, namely the the acquisition of subsidiaries, are recorded through the acquisition method.
The acquisition cost corresponds to the sum of the fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for the control acquired. Costs related to the acquisition are recognised as a cost when incurred. When applicable, the acquisition cost also includes the fair value of contingent payments measured on the acquisition date. Subsequent alterations in the value of contingent payments are recorded in accordance with the accounting rules which regulate the recording of the assets or liabilities in question, unless they qualify as an adjustment in the provisional measurement period (with a maximum of 12 months).
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 on the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or groups of assets) which are classified as held for sale, in accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations (“IFRS 5”), which are recognised and measured at the respective fair value minus the costs to be incurred in the future sale.
Any excess of the acquisition cost increased by the value of the non-controlled interests relative to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is recognised as Goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the identified net assets, the difference is recorded as net income gain for the period when the acquisition occurs, after re-confirmation of the attributed fair value.
If the process of recording of the business combinations is incomplete by the end of the year when the combination occurs, the Group discloses this same situation, and the provisioned values may be adjusted during the measurement period (the period between the acquisition date and the date when the Group obtains the complete information on the facts and circumstances that existed on the acquisition date and within the maximum of 12 months), or new assets and liabilities may be recognised so as to reflect facts and circumstances that existed on the balance sheet date and which, in known cases, would have affected the amounts recognised on the acquisition date.
Non-controlling interests are identified separately in equity by the equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent Company. Non-controlling interests may be measured initially either at their fair value or by the proportion of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiary. This option is made separately for each transaction. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 153 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
After the initial recognition the book value of the minority interests is determined as the value recognised initially plus the proportion of alterations of equity of the subsidiary. The full income of a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interests even if they are negative.
Percentage changes of control of subsidiaries that do not result in a loss in control are recorded as equity transactions. The value of the Group's interests and the non-controlled interests is adjusted to reflect the percentage changes. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the transaction price is recognised directly under equity and attributed to the shareholders of the parent Company.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, the gain or loss in the sale is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate amount of the fair value of the price and the fair value of the retained interests and (ii) the book value of the assets (including goodwill) and the liabilities of the subsidiary and of the non-controlling interests. Amounts recognised previously as other full income are transferred to the profit or loss for the year or transferred to retained earnings in the same way as would be the case if the related assets or liabilities were sold. The fair value of the retained interests corresponds to the fair value in the initial recognition for the effect of subsequent recording under IAS 39 – Financial instruments or, as and when applicable, the cost for the effect of the initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture. d) Investments in associated companies
An associate is a company in which the Group exercises significant influence, but not control or joint control, through participation in decisions relative to its financial and operating policies.
Financial investments in most of the associated companies (Note 22) are recorded through the equity method, except when they are classified as held for sale, with the shares initially stated at acquisition cost, which is increased or decreased according to the difference between this cost and the proportional value of the holding in the equity of these companies reported on the date of acquisition or first application of the said method.
In accordance with the equity method, financial holdings are adjusted periodically by the amount corresponding to the participation in the net income of the associated companies against ‘‘Earnings from associate companies’’, and by other changes in their equity against ‘‘Adjustments of holdings in associated companies’’, as well as by the recognition of impairment losses. Furthermore, the dividends received from these companies are recorded as a reduction in the value of the financial investments.
Losses in associates which exceed the investment made in these entities are not recognised unless the Group has undertaken commitments in relation to them.
Any excess of the 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 identified net assets, the difference is recorded as a gain in the profit or loss for the period in which the acquisition occurs.
Unrealised gains on transactions with associates are eliminated in proportion to the Group's interest in the associate, against the investment made in that associate. Unrealised losses are eliminated in a similar manner, but only to the extent that the loss does not show that the transferred asset is impaired. e) Goodwill
The differences between the acquisition cost of the investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled and associated companies, plus, in the case of the subsidiaries, the value of the non-controlled interests and fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of these companies on their acquisition date, if positive, are recorded as goodwill (in the case of subsidiaries and jointly controlled companies) or maintained under the heading of investments in associated companies.
Goodwill is recognised as an asset and is not subject to depreciation, being presented separately in the consolidation of the financial position or under the heading "Invest- ments in associates" (Notes 18 and 22). Regarding the goodwil of subsidiaries and jointly controlled companies, annually, or whenever there are indications of a possible loss in value, the goodwill values are subject to impairment tests. Any impairment loss is immediately recorded as a cost in the consolidated full income statement for the period and is cannot be subject to subsequent reversal.
On the disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled company, the corresponding goodwill is included in the determination of the capital gain or loss.
Where the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the identified net assets, the difference is recognised as a gain for the period in which the acquisition occurs. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 154 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
2.4 – Intangible assets
Intangible assets essentially comprise contractual rights and costs incurred in specific projects with future economic value, and are stated at cost, minus accumulated de- preciation and impairment losses. Intangible assets are recognised only if it is probable that they will produce future economic benefits for the Group, are controllable by the Group and their value can be measured reliably.
Internally generated intangible assets, including expenditure on current research and development, are recognised as a cost for the period when they are incurred.
Internal costs associated to software maintenance and development are recorded as costs in the income statement when incurred, except in cases where these costs are directly related to projects which are likely to generate future economic benefits for the Group. In such cases, these costs are capitalised as intangible assets.
Depreciation is calculated, after the beginning of use of the assets, through the straight-line method, in accordance with the year of utility that the Group expects of the assets concerned.
2.5 – Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets used in production, services rendered or for administrative use are recorded at acquisition or construction cost, including the expenses incurred with their acquisition, minus accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, when applicable.
Tangible assets are depreciated through the straight-line method, according to their estimated useful life, from the date on which they are available to be used for the intend- ed purpose and cease when the assets become classified as non-current assets held for sale. Depreciation is calculated in accordance with the following estimated useful lives:
Years of useful life Buildings 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 and ameliorations are only recognised as assets when they correspond to the replacement of goods, which are written-off, or lead to an increase in future economic benefits.
Tangible fixed assets in progress correspond to tangible assets under construction and are recorded at acquisition cost minus any impairment losses. These tangible fixed assets are depreciated as from the time when the underlying assets are able to be used for the intended purposes.
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 the net book value on the date of sale/write-off and stated at their net worth in the income statement under "Other operating income” or "Other operating costs", as applicable.
2.6 - Leases
Lease contracts are classified as: (i) finance leases, if all the risks and benefits of their ownership are transferred substantially; or (ii) operating leases, if all the risks and benefits of ownership are not transferred substantially.
Leases are classified as finance or operating leases according to the nature of the contract and not its form.
Assets acquired under finance lease contracts, as well as the corresponding liabilities, are recorded through the financial method, recognising the asset, the corresponding accu- mulated depreciation and the outstanding debts payable pursuant to the contractual financial plan. Furthermore, the interest included in the lease instalments and depreciation / amortisation of the assets are recognised as costs in the income statement of the period to which they refer. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 155 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
For operating leases, the instalments payable are recognised as a cost in the income statement on a straight line basis during the year of the lease contract.
2.7 - Impairment of non-current assets, excluding goodwill
An impairment assessment is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the amount at which an asset is recognised might not be recovered. In the presence of such indications, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset in order to ascertain the extent of the possible impairment loss.
In situations where an individual asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the recoverable amount is estimated for the cash-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 of the difference is recognised, which is recorded in the income statement under the heading "Provisions and impairment losses".
The recoverable amount is the highest value between an asset’s net sales price (sales price minus the costs of its sale) and its value in use. The net sales price is the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in a transaction between independent knowledgeable parties, less the costs directly attributable to the sale. The use value is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected from continued use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated for each individual asset or, when this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there are indications that the recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is recognised in the income statement under "Impairment losses and provisions" for the year when the reversal occurs. However, the reversal 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 years.
2.8 - Investment properties
Investment properties, which include land and buildings held for leasing, capital appreciation, or both, are recorded initially at their acquisition price or at construction cost (in the case of own construction investment), including any directly attributable expenditure.
After their initial recognition, all the investment properties, including those that are under construction, are measured at their fair value reflecting market conditions on the balance sheet date. All gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised through profit or loss for the year when they occur and recorded under the heading "Variation in the fair value of investment properties", included in "Other operating income" or "Other operating costs", depending on whether they refer to gains or losses.
The fair value of each investment property is determined through valuations, in some cases made by an independent specialised entities and in accordance with generally accepted valuation criteria for the real estate market. In all other cases, the market value is determined internally, based on criteria similar to those considered by external evaluators.
The costs incurred for investment properties in use, namely maintenance, repairs, insurance and taxes, are recognised in the income statement for the year to which they refer. Improvements or ameliorations are only recorded as assets when they correspond to the replacement of goods, which are written-off, or lead to an increase in future economic benefits.
2.9 - Foreign currency assets, liabilities and transactions
The financial statements are presented in Euros, since this is the preferably used currency in the economic environment in which the Group operates.
Transactions carried out in currencies other than the Euro are recorded at the rates prevailing on the transaction date. On each balance sheet date, the monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted into Euros using the exchange rates in force on that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities recorded at fair value denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Euros using the exchange rate in force on the date when the fair value was determined.
Favourable and unfavourable exchange rate differences arising from differences between the exchange rates on the date of the transactions and those in force on the date of the collection, payment, or the balance sheet date of such transactions are recorded as gains and costs in the income statement for the year, except those related to non- monetary items whose change in fair value is directly recorded in equity under the heading "Currency conversion adjustments."
The financial statements of subsidiaries and associated companies expressed in foreign currencies are converted considering the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 156 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
date for the conversion of assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for the conversion of the balances of the equity headings and the average exchange rate for the year for the conversion of the headings in the income and cash flow statements.
In accordance with IAS 21 - Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates ("IAS 21"), the goodwill and fair value corrections determined on the acquisition of foreign entities are considered in the reporting currency of these entities, and are converted into Euros at the exchange rate in force on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences generated in this way are recorded under the heading "Currency conversion adjustments."
2.10 - Financing costs
Loan costs are recognised in the income statement for the year to which they refer, except to the extent that the financial costs of the loans obtained directly related to the acquisition, construction and production of assets that take a substantial period of time to become ready for their intended use are capitalised as part of the costs of the assets. The capitalisation of these costs begins after the commencement of the preparation for the construction or development of the asset and is interrupted after the commence- ment of use or end of production or construction of the asset or when the project concerned is suspended. Any financial gain arising from loans obtained in advance and allocable to a specific investment is deducted from finance costs eligible for capitalisation.
2.11 - Grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the grant conditions.
Operating grants, particularly for employee training, are recognised in the income statement in accordance with costs incurred.
Investment grants relating to the acquisition of tangible fixed assets are included under "Other current liabilities" and "Other non-current liabilities" (as applicable) and are credited to the income statement according to the straight-line depreciation of the assets financed with the grants.
2.12 - Inventories
Goods and raw materials are stated at acquisition cost, using the average cost as the costing method.
Intermediate and finished products and work in progress are stated at the weighted average cost of production, which includes the cost of the incorporated raw materials, labour and manufacturing overheads (considering the depreciation of production equipment calculated on the basis of normal usage levels), which is below the net realisable value. Net realisable value corresponds to the normal sales price minus the production completion costs and marketing costs.
The difference between the cost value and the respective realisation value of the inventories, when the latter is lower than the book value, is recorded as impairment losses in inventories.
2.13 - Provisions
Provisions are recognised only when: i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, ii) it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and iii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed on each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the best estimate on that reporting date.
Provisions for restructuring costs are recorded by the Group when there is a formal and detailed restructuring plan that has been communicated to all parties concerned.
2.14 - Segment reporting
A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services subject to risks and returns that are different from those of 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 business segments as operating segments, in a manner consistent with the way management conducts business. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 157 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
2.15 - Operating profit or loss
Operating profit or loss includes all the costs and revenues of operating activities, both recurring and non-recurring, including restructuring costs and the costs and revenues associated with operating assets (tangible fixed assets and other intangible assets). It also includes the capital gains or losses calculated on the sale of companies included in the consolidation using the full or proportional consolidation method. In this way, net financing costs, the net income of associates, other financial investments and income tax are excluded from net operating income.
2.16 - Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party in the respective contractual relationship. a) Cash and cash equivalents
The amounts included in Cash and cash equivalents heading correspond to cash, bank deposits, term deposits and other cash investments with a maturity of less than three months and which are immediately repayable on demand with no significant risk of change in value. b) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are measured, when recognised initially, at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. When there is evidence that they are impaired, the corresponding adjustment is recorded through profit or loss under the heading "Other Operating Costs". The recognised adjust- ment is measured by the difference between the value at which the receivables are recognised and the present value of the cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate determined at the initial recognition. c) Investments
Investments are recognised on the date when the inherent risks and rewards are transferred substantially. They are initially recorded at their acquisition value, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs.
Investments are classified as follows:
Financial assets available for sale
Financial assets available for sale are financial investments which are available for sale and are classified as non-current assets.
After their initial recognition, the financial assets available for sale are measured through reference to their market value on the balance sheet date, without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred until 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, received or disposed in any other way, or when impairment losses are believed to exist, in which case the accumulated gain or loss is recorded in the income statement.
Other investments
Financial assets available for sale in equity instruments that do not have a market price listed in an active market and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at their acquisition cost minus any accumulated impairment losses and are recorded under the heading "Other investments".
Furthermore, assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are revalued at their fair value with reference to their market value on the balance sheet date, without any deduction for transaction costs that may be incurred until their sale. These assets are recognised in the heading "Other investments" and any variation in their fair value is recorded under the heading "Earnings relative to investment activities". d) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the nature of the contract regardless of their legal form. Equity instruments are contracts that have a residual interest in the Group's assets after deducting its liabilities.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recorded at the amount received net of the costs incurred to issue them. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 158 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
e) Accounts payable
Accounts payable are measured initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. f) Loans
Loans are initially recorded and recognised as liabilities at their nominal value, net of the costs incurred to issue them and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Finance charges, calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate and including premiums payable, are accounted for in accordance with the accrual principle and added to the book value of the loan if they are not paid during the year. g) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge the financial risks to which the Group is exposed due to changes in interest rates. Thus, the Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Financial instruments are used in accordance with internal policies adopted by the Board of Directors.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at their respective fair value and recognised in the heading "Other liabilities/current assets" or "Other non-current liabilities/ assets", as applicable. The recognition method depends on the nature and purpose of their contracting.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is determined with reference to stock market values. If the stock market values are not available, the fair value is deter- mined based on the analysis of discounted cash flows, which include assumptions supported on observable market prices or rates.
Hedge accounting
The possibility of classifying a derivative financial instrument as a hedging instrument follows the provisions of IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("IAS 39"), particularly regarding their documentation and effectiveness.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as fair value hedges are recognised as a financial profit or loss for the year, as well as changes in the fair value of the asset or liability subject to that risk.
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments classified as cash flow hedges are recorded in "Hedge operation reserves" for their effective component and in financial profit or loss for their non-effective component. The values recorded under “Hedge operation reserves” are transferred to the financial profit or loss for the year when the hedged item also has an effect on profit or loss.
Changes in derivative financial instruments classified as hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation are recorded as "Currency conversion adjustments" for their effective component. The non-effective component of these changes is recognised immediately as financial profit or loss for the year. If the hedging instrument is not a derivative, the changes arising from changes in exchange rates are recorded under "Currency conversion adjustments."
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument reaches maturity, is sold or exercised, or when the hedge relationship no longer meets the requirements set out in IAS 39.
Trading instruments
For derivative financial instruments which, despite being used for economic hedging purposes, in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies do not comply with all provisions of IAS 39 regarding the possibility of qualification in hedge accounting, changes in their fair value are recorded in the income statement for the year when they occur in the heading "Financial profit or loss".
2.17 - Pension liabilities
The Group offers a retirement plan to its employees.
This insurance plan was established in the context of a social and incentive policy for workers and is of the exclusive initiative of the subsidiary companies where these benefits are attributed. Characterised by their voluntary nature, contributions that are deemed appropriate at any given time are subject to the sole discretion of their board of directors, taking into account the performance and economic and financial situation. Thus, the contributions made by the Group are recorded as a cost on the date they are due. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 159 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
While their creation is optional, the contributions made by the Group are exclusively those provided for in applicable tax legislation.
2.18 – Income tax
Income tax for the year is calculated based on taxable income of the companies included in consolidation and considers deferred taxation.
The current income tax rate is calculated based on the taxable income (which differs from accounting income) of the companies included in the consolidation in accordance with the tax rules in force at the head office of each company of the Group.
Deferred taxes refer to temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their amounts for taxation purposes, as well as the resulting tax benefits obtained.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated and periodically evaluated using tax rates that are expected to be in force at the date of reversal of the temporary differences, are not discounted and are recognised as non-current assets or liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are only recorded when there are reasonable expectations of sufficient future tax profits to use them. On each balance sheet date, the temporary differences underlying deferred tax assets are reviewed to recognise or adjust them according to the current expectation of future recovery.
2.19 - Contingent assets and liabilities
A contingent asset is a possible asset derived from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or not of uncertain future events.
Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of future economic benefits is probable.
A contingent liability is (i) a possible liability arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or not of uncertain future events or (ii) a present liability which arises from past events but is not recognised because the existence of an outflow of funds is unlikely or the guarantee of the liability cannot be measured reliably.
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 - Revenue and accruals
Sales
Revenue arising from the sale of goods is recognised in the income statement when all the following conditions have been fulfilled:
- The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of the ownership of the assets; - The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the assets sold; - The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; - It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and - The costs incurred or to be incurred with respect to the transaction can be measured reliably.
Sales are recognised net of taxes, discounts and other costs incurred to realise the fair value of the amount received or receivable.
Services rendered
Revenue arising from services rendered is recognised in the income statement with reference to the stage of completion of services on the balance sheet date.
If the result of a construction contract can be estimated reasonably, the revenue and the related costs are recognised using the percentage of completion method as required by IAS 11 - Construction Contracts ("IAS 11"). According to this method, the income directly related to work in progress is recognised in the income statement according to its percentage of completion, which is determined by the ratio of costs incurred and the total estimated costs of 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 recorded for under the headings "Other current assets" or "Other current liabilities", according to the nature of the differences. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 160 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
Changes in the works under a construction contract, claims and premiums are considered as they are agreed and when they can be quantified in a sufficiently reliable manner.
To make a reasonable estimate of the result of a contract, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
- It is probable that the Group will obtain the economic benefits set out in the contract; - The costs of the contract are identifiable and can be quantified reliably; - On the balance sheet date, it must be possible to reliably measure the necessary costs to complete the construction and the degree of completion thereof, so that the actual costs incurred can be compared with the initial estimates.
In order to meet with the costs to be incurred during the warranty year of the works, the Group recognises a provision to hedge this risk, which is calculated taking into account annual production and the record of past costs incurred in works during the warranty year.
If it becomes probable that the costs exceed the income of the contract, the expected loss is recognised in the income statement for the year to which it refers.
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.
Accruals and Deferrals
Income and expenditure are recorded on an accrual basis, through which they are recognised as they are generated. Income and expenditure whose actual value is unknown are estimated.
Differences between the amounts invoiced and the corresponding income and costs generated are recorded under "Other current assets" and "Other current liabilities".
2.21 - Classification of the Financial Position
Assets which are realisable and liabilities payable less than one year from the balance sheet date are classified, respectively, as current assets and liabilities.
Liabilities relative to which there is no unconditional right to defer their payment for a period of at least twelve months after the balance sheet date are also classified as current.
2.22 - Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses on each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.
Financial assets available for sale
In the case of financial assets classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the instrument below its cost is considered as an indicator that the instruments are impaired. If such evidence exists for financial assets classified as available for sale, the accumulated loss - measured as the difference between its acquisition cost and present fair value, minus any impairment loss already recognised through profit and loss - is removed from equity and recognised in the income state- ment. Impairment losses of equity instruments recognised through profit or loss are not reversed through the income statement.
Customers, receivables 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 to which it is entitled, in accordance with the original terms of the established contracts. Various indicators are used to identify them, such as:
- seniority of the loan; - financial difficulties of the debtor; - probability of insolvency of the debtor.
Impairment losses are measured by the difference between the recoverable amount and the book value of the financial asset and recognised through profit or loss. Whenever a certain amount is considered as uncollectible it is written-off through the respective accumulated impairment loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts that have been written-off are recognised in profit or loss.

2.23 - Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets (or discontinued operations) are classified as held for sale whenever it is determined that their value will be recovered through their sale and not through their continued use. This situation is considered to occur only when: (i) the sale is highly probable; (ii) the asset is available for sale immediately in its current conditions; (iii) the management is committed to a sales plan and, (iv) it is expected that the sale will take place within the period of twelve months.
Non-current assets (or discontinued operations) classified as held for sale are measured at the lowest value of their book value and respective fair value minus the costs of their sale.
2.24 - Earnings per share
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to the ordinary shareholders of TD,SA by the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the year.
The diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to the ordinary shareholders of TD,SA by the weighted average number of shares in circula- tion during the year, adjusted by potential ordinary diluting shares.
The potential ordinary diluting shares can result from options over shares and other financial instruments issued by the Group, convertible into TD,SA shares.
2.25 - Subsequent events
Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions that existed on the balance sheet date are duly reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information on conditions that occurred after the balance sheet date are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
3 - ALTERATIONS OF POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND ERRORS
During the year ended on 31 December 2010, there were no alterations to the accounting policies considered in the preparation of the financial information of TD-EC relative to the year ended on 31 December 2009 (see Introductory Note) and referred to in the respective notes, and no significant material errors were recorded or alterations made to the accounting estimates relative to previous years.

15 - INCOME TAX
Teixeira Duarte - Engenharia e Construções, S.A. and most of its subsidiaries in Portugal are subject to Corporate Income Tax ("IRC") at the rate of 12.5% on the taxable amount of up to EUR 12,500, with the rate of 25% being applicable for the remaining taxable amount. Entities with reportable profit are also subject to the Municipal Surcharge (Derrama Municipal), the rate of which may vary to the maximum of 1.5%, as the State Surcharge (Derrama Estadual), incident on taxable profit in excess of EUR 2,000,000, at the rate of 2.5%. Independently of the profit for tax purposes recorded for the year, the abovementioned entities are also subject to autonomous taxation on charges at the rates established in article 88 of the Corporate Income Tax Code. In the calculation of the taxable amount, to which the abovementioned tax rates are applied, non-acceptable amounts for tax purposes are added and subtracted from the book value amounts. These differences between the book value profit or loss and the profit or loss for tax purposes may be of a temporary or permanent nature.
TD-EC and the subsidiaries which are at least 90% owned, located in Portugal, are subject to the special taxation scheme for groups of companies (since the financial year of 2003). This scheme 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, minus the dividends distributed among them and included in the respective taxable amounts, with the IRC rates, increased by the individually determined Municipal and State Surcharges, then being applied to the overall result thus obtained, after deduction of the tax losses, in accordance with articles 52 and 71 of the IRC Code.
In accordance with the legislation in force, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits have been granted, or inspections, claims or disputes are underway, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the periods of time are extended or suspended.
The Board of Directors believes that any corrections which might arise from any tax reviews/inspections to these tax returns will not significantly affect the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 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 26).
The tax charge recorded for the year ended on 31 December 2010 and for the period between 30 November 2009 (date of constitution) and 31 December 2009 can be presented as follows:
2010 2009 Current tax: Income tax in Portugal 17,748 - Income tax in other jurisdictions 20,817 - 38,565 - Deferred tax (Note 26): (11,745) (1) 26,820 (1)
In addition to the amounts of deferred taxes recorded directly in the income statement, deferred taxes amounting to EUR 5,380 thousand were recorded directly in equity, as at 31 December 2010 (Note 26).

The earnings per share for the year ended on 31 December 2010 and for the period between 30 November 2009 (date of constitution) and 31 December 2009 were calculated in consideration of the following amounts:
2010 2009 Profit or loss for the effect of calculating net earnings per basic share (profit or loss for the year) 46,392 (11) The weighted average number of shares for the effect of calculating net earnings per basic share (thousand) 350,394 144,940 Net earnings per basic share 0.13 (0.00)
Since for the financial year ended on 31 December 2010 and for the period between 30 November 2009 (date of constitution) and 31 December 2009 there were no dilution effects of the earnings per share, the diluted earnings per share are the same as the basic earnings per share.

The goodwill relative to the associated companies is an integral part of the values of the corresponding investments and is disclosed in Note 22.
The values of goodwill are tested annually for impairment or whenever there are indications that they may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated is determined based on the calculation of its use value, which uses cash flow forecasts based on the latest financial forecasts approved by the respective Boards of Directors over a period of five years, discounted by the discount rates shown in the table below, which were calculated based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), adjusted for risks, specific to the market into which each unit falls. Cash flows beyond this five- year period were forecast using the rates specified in the same table. These rates do not exceed the average long-term growth for the markets in which those cash-generating units are allocated.
The Boards of Directors believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the book value of these cash-generating units to exceed its recoverable amount.
The main assumptions considered in determining the value in use of goodwill are as follows:
2010 2009 Book value Perpetuity Book value Perpetuity Subsidiary Discount rate Discount rate of the goodwill growth rate of the goodwill growth rate Limited Liability Company Cement 23,761 15.0% 1.5% 23,761 15.0% 1.5% EPOS - Empresa Portuguesa de Obras Subterrâneas, S.A. 12,107 9.5% 3.0% 12,107 9.5% 3.0% C+P.A. - Cimento e Produtos Associados, S.A. 7,806 5.0% 1.5% 7,806 5.0% 1.5% Digal - Distribuição e Comércio, S.A. 6,163 8.1% 1.5% 5,986 6.8% 1.5% Karibib Portland Cement (PTY) 5,833 11.5% 1.5% 5,833 11.5% 1.5% Bonaparte - Imóveis Comerciais e Participações, S.A. 1,979 5.5% 1.5% 1,979 5.4% 1.5% Auto Competição Angola, Lda. 212 15.0% 1.5% 197 15.0% 1.5% TDSP - Bela Vista Empreendimentos Imobiliários, SPE, Ltda. 46 10.0% 1.5% 41 10.0% 1.5% Petrosório - Combustíveis e Lubrificantes, Lda. - - - 374 6.0% 1.5% 57,907 58,084

During the year ended on 31 December 2010, the movement which occurred in investment property was as follows:
2010 Balance as at 1 January 492,066 Currency conversion adjustments 5,164 Increases / disposals 2,968 Change in fair value (Notes 8 and 13) 10,428 Transfer of tangible assets (1,110) Balance as at 31 December 509,516 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 178 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
The income gained from investment properties arising from operating leasing contracts amounted to EUR 25,834 thousand in the year ended on 31 December 2010. Operat- ing costs directly related to investment properties reached EUR 6,569 thousand in the year ended on 31 December 2010.
The fair value of each investment property in operation is periodically determined through valuation, in some cases by an independent appraiser and in accordance with generally accepted valuation criteria for the real estate market, including income, comparative market value or replacement cost methods, depending on the specific situation 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 - Investment property ("IAS 40") does not require the determination fair value of investment properties on the basis of a valuation made by an independent evalu- ator. However, approximately 85% of the fair value of the Group's investment properties is determined through independent evaluators with significant and recognised professional qualification (registered at the CMVM) and with recent experience in the location and category of the valued investment property. These evaluators have applied methods currently used in this market, based on the use of the income method, replacement cost method or market price comparisons, according to the specific situations of each property. In this case, considering that the assets are leased, the income method was used, but also taking into account the other methods used to assess the reasonable- ness of the results achieved through this method. According to this method, the income of the current leasing contracts under the current conditions was used and, once the year of these contracts had 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.

40 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As at 31 December 2010, the Group had contracted a derivative financial instrument to minimise the risks of exposure to changes in interest rate, consisting of an interest rate swap contract.
Such instruments are contracted by considering the risks affecting the assets and liabilities and after checking which of the instruments available on the market are the most appropriate to cover those risks.
These operations, the contracting of which is subject to prior approval by the Board of Directors, are permanently monitored, particularly through the analysis of various indicators regarding these instruments, mainly the trend of their market value and sensitivity of the forecast cash flows and of the actual market value to changes in key variables that condition the structures, for the purpose of evaluating their financial effects.
Derivative financial instruments are recorded in accordance with the provisions of IAS 39 and measured at fair value, which is based on assessments made by financial institu- tions. The derivative financial instrument existing as at 31 December 2010 was assessed by an independent company external to the Group through appropriate methodolo- gies and techniques and commonly used by the experts for each type of instrument contracted by the Group. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 197 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
These are qualified as hedging instruments or instruments held for trading, in compliance with the provisions of IAS 39.
Derivative financial instruments qualified as hedges
As at 31 December 2010, an interest rate swap had been contracted at a fixed rate, which will fall due on 1 July 2033, for the purpose of hedging against the risk of interest rate volatility of the loan contracted with Caixa Banco de Investimento, S.A. and Caixa Geral de Depósitos, S.A. indicated in Note 35.
The fair value of this instrument as at 31 December 2010 and 2009 reached EUR 7,524 thousand and EUR 4,888 thousand, respectively, unfavourable to the Group, which is recognised in the heading of Other non-current liabilities (Note 39).
In view of the provisions of IAS 39, this instrument was recorded as a trading derivative financial instrument since it does not fulfil all of the requirements for the application of hedge accounting. The changes in the fair value of this trading instruments were, until that date, recorded directly in the income statements of the periods when they occurred.
As of 1 January 2010, these requirements were fulfilled and, therefore, the derivative was then recorded as a cash flow hedge. Hence, during the year ended on 31 December 2010, the effective component of the change of the hedging instrument was recognised in the Hedge operation reserve, at the value of EUR 1,868 thousand, net of the tax effect.
The main information underlying the determination of the fair value of this instrument as at 31 December 2010 was as follows:

41 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, GUARANTEES AND COMMITMENTS
Contingent liabilities:
It is disclosed that during 2010, the Tax Inspection Authorities (DSIT) carried out external inspections to the company Teixeira Duarte - Gestão de Participações Investimentos Imobiliários, S.A. ("TDGPII, S.A."), which is 100% indirectly owned by Teixeira Duarte, S.A..
As a result of these external inspections, of a general scope, to the accounting documentation of TDGPII, S.A. and relative to 2006, 2007 and 2008, the following corrections were made to the initially calculated tax losses:
Year Calculated Tax Loss DGCI Correction 2006 24,950 18,837 2007 51,176 29,331 2008 64,606 45,327 WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 198 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
These corrections result entirely from the non-acceptance, as a tax cost, of the financial costs incurred with the investment in subsidiary companies in the form of additional paid-in capital.
Since TDGPII S.A. is subject to Corporate Income Tax (IRC) in accordance with the Special Taxation Scheme for Groups of Companies (article 69 and following of the IRC Code), the corrections to the tax losses of 2006 and 2007 were the object of IRC Settlement Statements issued to the controlling company – TD-EC, which filed a judicial review at the Administrative and Fiscal Court of Sintra.
Therefore, the taking of effect of the IRC Settlement Statement is suspended until the definitive decision is read on the judicial reviews which have been filed, regarding which the Board of Directors believes that its outcome will be favourable to TDGPII, S.A. and, consequently, to the controlling company.
On the date of the closing of the Financial Statements for 2010, the corrections relative to 2008 had not yet been the object of any settlement of IRC.

42 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
General Principles:
The Group is exposed to a number of financial risks arising from its activities, among which the following deserve special mention: - interest rate risks arising from financial liabilities; - exchange rate risk arising mainly from the existence of operations and assets located outside the Euro zone, namely in Angola, Algeria, Brazil, Macao, Morocco, Mozam- bique, Namibia, Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela; - credit risk, particularly from credit to its customers relative to the Group’s operating activities; - liquidity risk, as regards the maintenance of cash stability.
The Group’s Financial Department ensures the centralised management of the financing operations, applications of cash surplus, currency conversion transactions, as well as the counterpart risk of the Group. In addition to the above, it is responsible for identifying, measuring, proposing and implementing measures to manage/mitigate the financial risks to which the Group is exposed.
The main financial risks to which the Group is exposed and the main measures implemented to manage them are analysed in greater detail below.
Interest rate risk
The objective of the interest rate risk management policy is the minimisation of the cost of debt subject to the maintenance of a low level of volatility of the financial charges.
As at 31 December 2010, 91% of the financial liabilities had a variable interest rate (98% as at 31 December 2009) and 9% a fixed interest rate (2% as at 31 December 2009).
Had the market interest rates been higher (lower) by 1% during the year ended on 31 December 2010 and 2009, the financial profit (or loss) of those years would have (decreased) increased by EUR (10,997) / 10,997 thousand and EUR (15,910) / 15,910 thousand, respectively. WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 200 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
Exchange rate risk
The Group’s operating activities are exposed to variations in the Euro exchange rate against other currencies.
Moreover, taking into account the different countries in which the Group operates, its exposure to exchange rate risk arises from the fact of its subsidiaries report their assets and liabilities in currencies other than the reporting currency, namely in Angola, Algeria, Brazil, Macao, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela.
The exchange rate risk management policy followed by the Group is ultimately aimed at reducing the sensitivity of the Group’s net income to currency fluctuations.
The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, converted into Euros as at 31 December 2010 and 2009, were as follows:
Assets Liabilities 2010 2009 2010 2009 Venezuelan Bolivar - 24 257 1,160 Algerian Dinar 16,018 8,472 46,794 45,554 Moroccan Dirham 664 205 2,198 4,898 Tunisian Dinar - - 140 788 US Dollar 347,498 146,274 234,956 112,370 Namibian Dollar - - 1,065 100 Ukrainian Hryvnia - - 32,800 29,500 Japanese Yen 12,925 17,703 2,047 17,880 Pound Sterling - - 34 22 Mozambican Metical 688 254 30 - Macaense Pataca - - 208 199 South African Rand 51 2 - 12 Brazilian Real - - 14,297 10,418 Russian Rouble - - 3,427 2,850 377,844 172,934 338,253 225,751
Exchange rate risk management is based on a continuous measurement and monitoring of relevant financial and accounting exposures.
The possible impacts generated in the heading Currency conversion adjustments as at 31 December 2010 and in the net income for the year ended on that date, if there was a 5% appreciation of the abovementioned currencies, can be summarised as follows:
2010 Currency Net Income Equity Venezuelan Bolivar (13) - Algerian Dinar (1,539) - Moroccan Dirham (77) - Tunisian Dinar (7) - US Dollar 5,627 - Namibian Dollar (53) - Ukrainian Hryvnia (1,640) - Japanese Yen 544 - Pound Sterling (2) - Mozambican Metical 33 - Macaense Pataca (10) - South African Rand 3 - Brazilian Real (715) - Russian Rouble (171) 1,979 - WorldReginfo - 6e6c6c6f-90a8-46f2-8295-ba752863773f 201 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 31 December 2010
According to the Board of Directors, the sensitivity analysis presented above, based on the position on the stated dates, may not be representative of the exchange rate risk exposure to which the Group is subject throughout the year.
Credit risk
Credit risk is primarily related to the balances receivable from customers and other receivables related to the Group’s operating activities. The deterioration of global economic conditions or adversities that affect the economies on a local, national or international scale may result in the inability of the Group's customers to meet their obligations, with possible negative effects on the Group.
This risk is monitored on a regular basis by each of the Group's businesses for the purpose of: - limiting credit granted to customers, considering their profile and age of the account receivable; - monitoring the evolution of the level of credit granted; - analysing the recoverability of receivables on a regular basis. - the impairment losses of the accounts receivable are calculated considering: - the analysis of the age of the accounts receivable; - the customer’s risk profile; - the customers’ financial situation.
As at 31 December 2010, the Board of Directors believes that the estimated impairment losses of the accounts receivable are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.
As at 31 December 2010 and 2009, the accounts receivable from customers (Note 27) for which no impairment losses were recorded, because the Board of Directors consid- ered that they are achievable, are as follows:
2010 2009 Balances Not due 309.200 234.953 Up to 180 days 99.234 83.176 180 to 360 days 42.036 40.190 More than 360 days 66.171 34.469 516.641 392.788
The credit quality of the accounts receivable which are not yet due included in the table above is monitored on a regular basis, based on the aforementioned objectives.
Liquidity risk
This risk can occur if the sources of financing, such as the cash flows from operating activities, disinvestment, credit lines and from financing operations, do not meet the financing needs, such as the cash outflows for operating activities and financing, investments, remuneration of shareholders and debt repayment.
In order to mitigate this risk, the Group seeks to maintain a liquidity position and an average maturity of debt that allows it to redeem its debt within reasonable periods of time.
