Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 st December 2008<br />

2.9 - Assets, liabilities and transactions in foreign currency<br />

Transactions in currencies other than Euro are registered at the rates in force, at the transaction date. At each balance sheet date, pecuniary<br />

assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency are converted into Euro, using the exchange rates in force on that date. Non-pecuniary<br />

assets and liabilities registered in accordance with their fair value expressed in foreign currency, are converted in Euro, using for that purpose<br />

the exchange rate in force at the date in which the fair value was determined.<br />

The favourable and unfavourable difference in the exchange rate, derived from the differences between the exchange rates in force at the<br />

transactions’ date and the ones in force at the date of the debt collection, payments or balance sheet date of the same transactions, are<br />

registered as profits and costs in the results statement of the period, except those regarding non-pecuniary items, which fair value variation is<br />

registered directly in the equity capital in item "Exchange rate conversion adjustments".<br />

The conversion of the results statement of the subsidiary companies and associated companies expressed in foreign currency is done<br />

considering the exchange rate in force at the date of the balance sheet, for conversion of assets and liabilities, the historic exchange rate for<br />

the conversion of the balances in the equity capital and average exchange rate of the period items, for the conversion of the statements of<br />

results and cash flows.<br />

The exchange rate effects of that conversion, after the 1 st of January 2004, are registered in equity capital, in the “Exchange rate adjustments”,<br />

being transferred to financial results at the time of the corresponding alienation of investments.<br />

In accordance with IAS 21 – The effects of the alterations in exchange rates, the goodwill and the fair value corrections ascertained in the<br />

acquisition of foreign entities are considered to be denominated in the reporting currency of those entities, being converted into Euro at the<br />

exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences thus generated are registered in the “Exchange rate adjustments”<br />

item.<br />

2.10 - Financing costs<br />

Costs with loans are recognized in the results statements of the period they refer to, except when the financial charges of the loans obtained<br />

are directly related with the acquisition, construction and production of assets that take a substantial period of time to be ready for the intended<br />

use, which are capitalized being part of the asset cost. The capitalization of these charges starts after the beginning of the construction activities<br />

preparation or asset development and is interrupted after the starting of its use, or final of production or construction of the asset, or when the<br />

project in question is suspended. Any financial profits generated by loans obtained beforehand and liable to be allocated to a specific<br />

investment are deducted to eligible financial costs for capitalization.<br />

2.11 - Subsidies<br />

Subsidies are recognized in accordance with their fair value when there is reasonable guaranty that they will be received and that the Group<br />

is going to comply with the required conditions for granting them..<br />

Subsidies for operation, namely for employee training, are recognized in the financial statements, in accordance with the cost incurred as they<br />

become due.<br />

Subsidies for investment, related to the acquisition of tangible fixed assets, are included in the items “Other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent<br />

liabilities” (as applicable) and are credited in the financial results in constant quotas, in a consistent and proportional way to the<br />

depreciation of the assets which are being acquired.<br />

2.12 - Stocks<br />

Goods and raw materials are registered at cost, which is inferior to respective market value, using the average cost as costing method.<br />

The finished and semi-finished goods, sub-products and works in progress are valued at weighted average cost of production, which includes<br />

the cost of incorporated raw materials, labour and general manufacture expenditures (considering the productive equipment depreciations<br />

calculated in accordance with the normal utilization levels), which is inferior to the net realisable value. The net realisable value corresponds<br />

to the normal selling price deducted of costs to complete production and the marketing costs.<br />

Adjustments due to stocks depreciation are registered for the difference between the cost value and the respective stocks realization value, in<br />

the case the latter is inferior to the cost.<br />
