Sonae Imobiliaria is a specialist company in the shopping and leisure centre sector, and its activities include real estate development,

With the active support of its shareholders, Sonae Imobiliária:

> INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

• Brazil (South America)
The modernization of the shopping centre concept is one of the company’s strongest bets, introducing new integrated retail and

> INTERNATIONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTThe quality and innovative designs of its products have made Sonae Imobiliária the company with the most international awards in
the shopping centre sector. Its products have already won 6 awards at ICSC-Europe, 2 at ICSC-Las Vegas, 4 ICSC Marketing Awards,
3 at MIPIM, 1 from Procos and one Real Estate Oscar. In Spain in March 2001 Sonae Imobiliária was awarded the prize of "Developer

pean Prize" of Procos as the "Best European Developer and Investor".
> STRATEGYSonae Imobiliária is an international company with a European base and it specialises in shopping and leisure
centres. Its strategy is based on two main approaches, focus and growth.
OBJECTIVE > FOCUS
Sonae Imobiliária concentrates on its main core business of the development of shopping and leisure centres, of holding them
as an investment, and of managing them, creating destinations of choice for its customers.
Simultaneously, the shopping and leisure centre industry is treated in an integrated way, where added value is achieved, not
only through development, but also through active management of the properties.
Taking a global view of the shopping and leisure centre business, the company aims, in all targeted markets, to innovate and
introduce new concepts, through local partnerships on the basis of a long-term view of investment.
Sonae Imobiliária is and wants to continue to be the "partner of choice".
> BETTING ON INNOVATION
OBJECTIVE > GROWTH
Sonae Imobiliária’s objective is to grow, by more than doubling its "Net Asset Value" (NAV) in the next five years, and to
continue to generate high levels of return for its shareholders.
This growth will be achieved by capitalizing on the key strengths of the company, by pursuing its policy of joint-ventures and
international diversification through new developments, refurbishments and acquisitions.
This growth strategy makes the company an active partner, controlling or sharing control, in all its developments. Maintaining
its position as leader in the development, investment and management of shopping centres in Portugal implies concentrating
its efforts in the markets where it already operates, seeking a leadership position, both nationally and internationally.
Consequently, it’s a priority to be proactive in the search for and taking advantage of the opportunities that occur in the rest of
Europe, and also to achieve a position of importance within the sector in Brazil, with a self-imposed limit of exposure to this
market of not more than 20% of Group NAV.
Sonae Imobiliária’s objective is to grow, by more than doubling its"Net Asset Value" (NAV) in the next five years

In 2001, Sonae Imobiliária began to draw up its consolidated accounts in accordance with INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (IAS).
There were a number of reasons for this decision. Firstly, the use of this standard makes it easier to compare Sonae Imobiliária’s
performance with that of other companies in the market. Secondly, IAS is widely regarded as the standard system for the future and
has been adopted by EPRA - "European Public Real Estate Association". From 2005 onwards, all companies in the European Union
will be required by law to use it.
In general, Sonae Imobiliária’s results are made up of two main parts. The first of these relates to the profits on its investments, made
up of income from the properties, which it owns, and, from time to time, of the proceeds of sale of such properties. The second part
relates to the variation in the value of the company's investment portfolio as determined by independent appraisers.

fully this will soon be granted so that building can begin during 2003.
The second extension of CascaiShopping is now under construction. € 25,4 million is being invested in extending its GLA by 7,000 m2. The
building work and the marketing campaign are proceeding faster than expected and the new area of the Centre should open in September

from the value created during the development process and is captured under Indirect Profit. The income arises from project
management fees (services rendered) debited to projects under development in the various countries. This applies in every
market except in Brazil, where this income is included as part of the Brazil business unit. The growth versus 2001 results from an
increased number of projects under development in 2002, as mentioned above. Operating costs rose by 8.9%, a substantial
increase over 2001. The Company has a strong commitment to future expansion and conse-quently the reinforcement of the
management team during the year.
The Total Indirect Profit is higher than last year by 19.5%. The Company has already expressed its belief that the development busi-
ness should be remunerated in relation to the actual increase in value generated during the development phase. The Company,
therefore, recognised under the heading "Realized Property Profit" (IAS 40) 10% of the increase in value relating to the centres
opened during the year, in this case Plaza Mayor. In relation to non-realised gains on revaluation, the business has recognised the
income from future capital gains in the value of centres in course of development, which will only materialise at the time when the
centres open. At that time, the centres will be transferred to the shopping centre investment business. The added value profit is
only calculated for the projects already with building license (see created value table). These non-realised gains on revaluation are
excluded from the global consolidated accounts, since they represent transactions between businesses of the same Group. The
Deferred taxes arise from the Realized Property Profit and from the Non-Realised Property Profit.

In December, Sonae Imobiliária sold VilaLambert, where the company has its
Lisbon headquarters, to AF Investimentos, the Investment Fund Management
Company of the Banco Comercial Português Group. The company maintains a
tenant contract and still manages the shopping gallery.
The portfolio of shopping centres in Spain either owned or co-owned by Sonae
Imobiliária generated fixed and variable rents of € 36 million. Major factors
contributing to this total were the opening of Plaza Mayor and the fact that Parque
Principado has now been in operation for a full year. At the end of 2002, the occu-
pancy rate was 88%.

On April 18th the Plaza Mayor shopping and leisure centre opened in Malaga, Spain, and in December Sonae Imobiliária agreed to
buy 25% of Castle Management’s holding in the Plaza Mayor.
In September, Sonae Imobiliária became the owner, jointly with ING Real Estate Bishop, of the shopping centres acquired from FILO.
As a result of this purchase the company now owns 50% of the GranCasa (Zaragoza), MaxCenter (Bilbao), Valle Real (Santander) and
La Farga (Barcelona) shopping centres. Finally, a note concerning the relative weight in terms of rental income of the various groups
who are clients/shop tenants: Sonae Imobiliária’s largest tenant is the INDITEX Group, which generates about 8.3% of the total fixed
rent income. Sonae Distribuição, including all its brand names, represents only 4.5% of the total rental income. Sonae Turismo's contri-
bution is negligible.

operation in Portugal, Spain and Brazil as of 31 December 2002,
was € 2,560.9 million. The part that belonged to Sonae Imobiliária
was valued at € 1,471.2 million. This represents an increase in 2002
of € 407 million just in its share of the shopping centres and
galleries in operation. This increase came about through the
company’s own investment and through the growth in rents and
other types of income.

> 273.1 MILLION IN RE-FINANCINGDuring 2002 three shopping centres in Portugal were re-financed through long-term, mortgage-backed, project finance type loans.
This is a means of financing the expansion of the company, particularly outside Portugal.
The Shopping Centres that were re-financed in this way were ViaCatarina (€ 9.2 million), CascaiShopping (€ 122.9 million including
the extension currently underway) and Vasco da Gama (€ 111.0 million).
These transactions raised Sonae Imobiliária’s long-term level of debt by € 238 million.
> RISK MANAGEMENTIn its Shopping Centres, Sonae Imobiliária has set up a number of activities and plans of action in the area of Risk Management. During
2002, various audits took place of a technological and operational nature. These included audits of the fire alarm system, the burglar
alarm and CCTV systems, and technical audits of the tenants’ shops, particularly of the hygiene standards and sanitation in the shops
in the food courts. These audits revealed that some operating procedures were in need of improvement and that there is also a need
for some re-building in particular areas. The emergency procedures in the Shopping Centres were also audited. Fire drills and
bomb-scare and evacuation drills were held. In some cases the civil protection services, the security services and the fire-fighting
service were present. In addition to these audits, technical, environmental, legal and security audits took place in all the Shopping
Centres. All assets owned by Sonae Imobiliária in Portugal and Spain are insured against acts of terrorism.
> 107.9 MILLION IN INCOMEThis business contributed with € 108.2 million to the company’s Consolidated Profits, compared to € 116.1 million in 2001, a decrease
of 6.8%.
The income of this business has two main elements. The first relates to the direct income from operations during the year and corre-
sponds to the Total Income from shopping centres. This amounted to € 107.9 million compared to € 98.7 million in 2001, an increase
of 9.3%. This figure is lower than it would have been since one type of income generated in 2001 did not arise in the same way in 2002.
We refer to the payment of key money (net of letting costs), which, according to IAS regulations, must be accounted for only when the
shopping centre opens. In 2001, this was the case of MadeiraShopping and AlgarveShopping, where key money reached the amount
of € 5.6 million.
In the first half of 2002 only Plaza Mayor opened. However, in the Spanish Shopping Centres market the concept of key money barely
exists. This meant that only the letting costs of this investment were taken into account (€ 931 thousand).
If this unfavourable factor were to be left out, the increase in Shopping Centre Operating Income would have been 18.6%. This growth
is due to the increase in business after the opening of Plaza Mayor and to the fact that AlgarveShopping, MadeiraShopping and Parque
Principado were all in operation for the whole year. The second main element of the income of this business is Gains on Revaluation
of the company’s properties. This amounted to € 108.9 million, of which € 21.4 million derives from the increase in value of Plaza
Mayor, which opened during the year, and the remaining amount is from gains in value of the other properties.
There was an increase during the year in Net Financial Expenses. This was due to the increase in investments, to the re-financing of
certain properties and to the fact that the interest charges on the financing for the development of the centres which opened during
the year ceased to be capitalised once the centres opened. The Extraordinary Profits and Losses relate to the capital gain on the sale
of a business included within the sale of Prædium (€ 1.4 million), and to previous year adjustments in respect of estimates for local
property taxes and notary fees.
Corporation Tax was € 14.9 million. This is calculated in relation to individual businesses or tax groups, in accordance with
Portuguese Tax and Accounting Regulations. Deferred Tax relates to tax on adjustments made to comply with IAS regulations.
the Plaza Mayor was inaugurated in the first semester of 2002

> POSITIVE SHOPPING CENTRE EVOLUTIONWe will begin by analysing the 2002 performance of Sonae Imobiliária’s 12 shopping centres and the retail park in Portugal. Despite
the weak economy, the centres continued to perform well. The total number of visits remained more or less the same (-0.1%), while
total sales rose by 7.7% compared to the previous year. On a "like-for-like" basis, excluding the centres, which opened in 2002, and
the months of 2002 during which the centres were not open in 2001, there was a slight decline in the number of visits in Portugal
(-2.1%), while sales rose by 5.5%.

∆ – percentage variation* Figures in Euro (thousands)Number of visitors (thousands)
At CascaiShopping the number of visits remained stable, despite building works for the current extension. There were about 10.5
million visits (3.4% fewer than in 2001). Total sales increased by 1.5% compared with 2001. The average effort rate at the centre (Rents
plus Common Service Charges divided by Shop Sales) was 12.5% in 2002.
At CoimbraShopping, five years after its extension, both traffic and sales increased by 0.9% and 3.3% respectively. In terms of sales,
the performance was excellent, reaching € 600 per m2 per month, the best record in the Sonae Imobiliária portfolio. The average effort
rate at the centre was 7.7%, which is very low.
In GuimarãeShopping traffic continued to grow (+6.2%) together with sales (+12.6%). In 2001, a large number of contracts with
retailers expired and new brands moved in, improving the tenant-mix. The average effort rate was 11.4%.
In GaiaShopping visits reached 10.7 million (+0.5%), while total sales rose 10.7% due to the improvement in the tenant-mix during
the second quarter of 2002. This performance was achieved even though the shops in the Gallery opposite the Hypermarket had to
close temporarily for renovation works. The average effort rate was 11.3%.
At ViaCatarina there were 9.6 million visits (+2.3%), while sales went up by 9.2%. During most of 2001, the disruption caused by pub-
lic works in downtown Porto had a considerable effect on the centre, and this was an excellent recovery. The average effort rate was
15.4%. This is likely to decrease in future, once new brands are introduced with better sales per m2.
At Centro Colombo, in its fifth year of operation there were 31.5 million visitors. Even though the number of visits declined by
7.7% compared to 2001, Colombo is still one of the most popular shopping centres in the world. In November 2001 the department
store "El Corte Inglés" opened in Lisbon, with over 40,000 m2 of GLA. In September 2002 Fórum Almada opened in the Greater
Lisbon area, with over 70,000 m2 of GLA. The presence of these new competitors needs to be taken into account. Sales at Centro
Colombo rose by 0.4% in 2002, reaching a monthly average of over € 469 per m2 (excluding the Hypermarket and C&A), a very good
performance for a centre of this size. The average effort rate at Colombo was 10% in 2002.
MaiaShopping also completed its fifth year in operation, performing well with 8.6 million visitors (-1.6%), while sales rose 11.2% as
several new brands opened and the tenant-mix improved. The average effort rate during the year was 10.4%.
NorteShopping opened in October 1998 and has completed its fourth year with an excellent performance record. The centre has
had 21.7 million visitors (+0.4%) and a double-digit increase in sales (+11.6%). The average effort rate was low (8.9%), suggesting that
rents could rise in the medium term.
Centro Vasco da Gama, which opened in April 1999, performed reasonably well, with 21 million visits (-2.2%) and a 1.4% increase
in total sales, despite intense competition in its catchment area with the opening of "El Corte Inglés" and Fórum Almada. The average
effort rate was 10.4%.
Sintra Retail Park opened in November 2000 and its performance has shown steady progress. At the end of 2002 sales rose by a
healthy 16.9%. There is no record of levels of traffic. The average effort rate reached 11.4% in 2002.
MadeiraShopping opened at the end of March 2001. It had almost 6 million visits in 2002 and total sales were € 79 million. In the
months during which performance can be compared to the previous year, the number of visitors and total sales increased by 1.0%
and 11.6% respectively. The average effort rate was 9.8%.
AlgarveShopping opened in April 2001. It had over 7.5 million visits in 2002 and total sales reached € 81 million (excluding the
hypermarket). In the months which can be compared with the previous year, although the number of visits fell by 6.5%, total sales
rose by 18.0%. The average effort rate was 10.4%.
Finally, Arrábida Shopping, acquired at the end of December 2001, had over 12 million visits in 2002 (-2.1%) and total sales (exclud-
ing the hypermarket) were € 81 million, a 1.4% increase over the previous year. October saw the beginning of major improvements
in the tenant-mix as old contracts expired and new ones were signed. It is probable that this change will generate higher sales in
2003. In 2002 the centre’s average effort rate was 13.4%.
> SPAIN
In Spain, the company bought four Shopping Centres previously owned by FILO and the number of centres in Sonae Imobiliária’s
spanish portfolio under management rose from seven to fourteen. Overall, the performance of these centres was good. In 2002
the number of visitors increased by 14.5% and total sales rose by 19.2% compared to 2001.
Taking only the centres which are co-owned by Sonae Imobiliária and La Morea (Pamplona), the growth over 2001 was of 14.8%
and 22% in visits and sales respectively.
On a "like-for-like" basis, comparing only those months during which the centres were open in the previous year, the number
of visitors and total sales rose by 2.5% and 9.5% respectively.
Plaza Mayor is primarily a leisure centre. It opened in April 2002, and has had a major impact on the Malaga area. In its first eight
and a half months in operation, it has had 5.1 million visitors, with shop tenants recording sales of € 23 million. These figures are
within the forecasts. In 2002 the average effort rate was 16% because several shops opened late and had to start paying rent and
expenses for the common parts before generating any sales. This figure should be much lower in 2003.
In September Sonae Imobiliária bought four centres previously owned by FILO (GranCasa, LaFarga, MaxCenter and Valle Real).
Although the company only began managing these centres in September 2002, we present below their performance figures for the
whole of 2002.
GranCasa is the largest shopping centre in Zaragoza. As in previous years, its performance was excellent. There were 16.3 million
visits (-0.7%) and total sales were € 91 million, an increase of 14.2% over 2001. Average effort rate in 2002 was 10.4%.
At La Farga, in Hospitalet (near Barcelona), the level of traffic and sales fell by 4% and 0.4% respectively due mainly to increased
competition, with new shopping centres opening in La Farga’s catchment area. There are to be major changes in the tenant-mix of the
upper floors of the centre to make it more competitive and more attractive to the local clientele. Average effort rate was around 10%.
The MaxCenter, in Bilbao, was extended in 2002. A new area has been built, bringing together the centre’s leisure facilities (cine-
mas, bowling, food and drink), and a number of new fashion brands have been introduced. As a result, the level of traffic rose by 7.4%
and sales by 9.1%, an excellent performance. Average effort rate was 11.2%.
Valle Real, in Santander, continued to improve its performance as in previous years, with levels of traffic and sales increasing by
34% and 9.6% respectively. Average effort rate was 9.5%.
Lastly, La Morea, in Pamplona, which is owned by a third party but is managed by Sonae Imobiliária through CCC. The centre
opened in October and has proved extremely popular in the city. There are no figures for the level of traffic, as the footfall system has
not yet been installed. Sales are good, with average monthly figures of around € 340 per m2. Average effort rate was 9.3% during the
first two and a half months in operation.

> MANAGEMENT RELATED ISSUES One of the most important aspects of shopping centre management is the collection
of rent, service charges and key money. Rent collection performance in 2002 was
excellent in Portugal and Spain, with the rent collection level (the ratio between rents
collected and amounts invoiced over the 12-month period) reaching an overall figure
of 99.8%.
In Portugal, the rent collection level rose to over 100% as some bad debts were
settled. In Spain, it was around 97.4% because some bad debts remained. These
should be settled during the first half of 2003.
> LETTING OF CENTRES UNDER MANAGEMENTDuring 2002 the take-up of new tenancies in Iberia (the number of contracts being signed) remained buoyant. Contracts were signed for
a total of 403 shops, of which 170 were in new projects being developed and 233 in centres already in operation.
In 2002 in Spain, 160 contracts were signed with shops in new developments at Plaza Mayor (in Malaga), La Morea (in Pamplona),
Zubiarte (Bilbao), the enlarged MaxCenter and Avenida M-40 (under construction near Madrid).
In Portugal, a total of 10 new contracts were signed with the first shop tenants of Parque Atlântico (Ponta Delgada, Azores) and Coimbra
Retail Park.
Once shopping centres are operating, it is important to continue to ensure that the quality of the tenant-mix remains high. In Portugal, a
total of 146 contracts were signed for shops in centres already in operation and 87 such contracts were signed in Spain. The level of tenant
turnover in shops in existing shopping centres was 6.1%.
Besides the contracts signed in operating shopping centres, it should be noted that, during 2002, 347 new contracts were re-negotiated
with tenants that had reached the end of their respective contracts (280 in Portugal and 67 in Spain) but there was a mutual interest in
establishing new contracts. The results achieved with new contracts were very positive, namely in ViaCatarina, Arrábida Shopping and
GranCasa.

NEW BUSINESSES & NEW TECHNOLOGIES
During 2002, the NTBD (New Technologies Business Department) launched a number of projects that add value to the company’s
activities by taking advantage of new Technology. The SonaeShopping brand was created at the end of 2001 and brings together a
number of projects involving communications, customer loyalty, and new services to shop tenants.
PORTAL SONAESHOPPING.COM This is Internet infrastructure for on-line advertising and communication between the Sonae Imobiliária
Shopping Centres and the public. This portal will give access to all the sites of Shopping Centres under Sonae Imobiliária management,
both in Portugal and abroad. As of 31/12/2002, the portal already included 26 shopping centre gallery sites, 20 in Portugal, 1 in Spain and
5 in Brazil. Over the next few months the roll-out to the websites of other centres under management will take place and this will then
expand further to include the websites of centres at the development stage, serving as backup to other marketing activities. This portal
has already had more than 13,000 page-views and has links to Sonae Imobiliária’s corporate portal.
PORTAL SONAESHOPPING.NET This is a highly innovative B2B tool designed for the use of shop tenants in Sonae Imobiliária shopping
centres. It has already been launched in 74 shopping centres and galleries in Portugal (including the Continente and Modelo galleries),
1 centre in Spain and 2 centres in Brazil. It is now expanding to include the rest of the company’s portfolio under management in Spain
and Brazil, with priority for centres co-owned by Sonae Imobiliária. The main objectives of the portal are to increase the efficiency of
digital (Internet) communication between the centres and their tenants, eliminating paperwork wherever possible, and to offer a range
of services to tenants, (security, cleaning, maintenance, telecommunications, insurance, temporary work etc.), through a group of
qualified service providers offering preferential terms. The portal has had a good tenant take-up and is already in use in over 1,500
shops. In 2002 there were over 21,000 visits to the site and almost 5,000 requests for services.
SONAESHOPPING GIFT CHEQUE PROJECT This is a customer loyalty programme for individual shopping centres marketed through
their websites. Customers can order cheques either on-line or at kiosks in the shopping centres and can use them to shop in those
shopping centres. The project is now in operation in the company’s 12 shopping centres in Portugal, and the roll-out to the other
centres in Spain and Brazil will soon take place.
SONAESHOPPING.TV An agreement has been made with SIC (Portuguese TV operator) to set up the company SIC INDOOR, in which
Sonae Imobiliária will have a 35% shareholding. The aim is to use video walls to create a flow of entertainment and information for
clients in the food-courts of shopping centres. The project should generate advertising revenue both from general advertisers and
from tenants of the centres. It is due to be launched in Spring 2003.

In Spain there was a bigger increase in staff numbers, from 30 people as of 31/12/2001 (including Back Office), to 75 people as of
31/12/2002 (also including Back Office). This is an increase of 150% and is due to the expansion of the company’s portfolio under
management with the purchase of 4 FILO Shopping Centres and to the addition of La Morea to this portfolio.
> PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND LETTING FEESAs Property Management is a service business, the fees related to it need to be analysed in some detail.
In Portugal and Spain the company expanded its operations and total fees related to Property Management showed a marked overall
increase in 2002 (+13% compared with 2001). If the different types of fees are analysed separately, it can be seen that in 2002 overall
management fees increased considerably (+21%), due to the overall expansion of the company’s portfolio, while letting fees, which
relate to a more cyclical activity, fell by 27%, because activity in this area peaked in 2001 and is likely to do so again in 2003.
It should be noted that halfway through 2002 the Market Research Department started to invoice its services and that the New Tech-
nologies Business Department (NTBD) also issued some invoices for projects being launched. Both of these departments should show
an increase in revenue in 2003.
As the Brazilian operations make up their own consolidated accounts, the following analysis of the company’s consolidated financial
performance relates only to the European operations. Property Management activities were clearly profitable in 2002, as can be seen
from the table below, showing the Consolidated Account for this business. The Net profits rose from € 2.8 million in 2001 to € 3.5
million in 2002, an increase of 24%. The Total Income increased by 13% overall between 2001 and 2002, as the company expanded its
operations. The main contributors were the opening of Plaza Mayor (in 2002), the first full year of operation of centres opened in 2001
and the management of 5 additional shopping centres in Spain (from September onwards) as a result of their acquisition. The Over-
heads including Personnel Costs went up by 12% in 2002, increasing less than income thanks to benefits resulting from the size of the
company’s portfolio, particularly in relation to back-office expenses. As a result of this, Operating Results increased by 6% between
2001 and 2002. The Financial Results are below last year because the interest rate of short-term investments was lower than in 2001.
The Results Before Corporate Taxes increased from € 5.1 million in 2001 to € 5.6 million in 2002, an increase of 9%.
Property Management net profit went up from € 2.8 million in2001 to € 3.5 million in 2002, an increase of 24%

PROSPECTS FOR 2003The prospects for 2003 are that Sonae Imobiliária will continue to expand its management, marketing and letting activities in the shop-
ping and leisure centre sectors.
In relation to Shopping Centre Management, in Portugal the company will continue to enlarge its portfolio. In 2003 Parque Atlântico,
Estação Viana, and Coimbra Retail Park will open and Sonae Imobiliária Property Management will also be responsible for the exten-
sion of CascaiShopping.
In Spain, although none of the projects currently under development are scheduled to open before 2004, in April 2003 CCC will begin
managing Parque Principado, a shopping centre in Oviedo with over 70,000 m2 of GLA. Sonae Imobiliária owns 25% of this centre, which
opened in April 2001. From 1 January 2003, we will no longer be managing either the Eroski shopping centres and galleries or the Urbil
shopping centre in San Sebastian, owned by the Lar-Grosvenor Group.
In April 2003, we will start to manage shopping centres in Italy. We have already formed a partnership with the Italian company Espan-
sione Commerciale and will be managing the Orio Center in Bergamo. This Centre has around 54,000 m2 of GLA and is owned by the
German fund CGI. In 2003 we will also be setting up a management company in Greece. The Mediterranean Cosmos project (in Thessa-
loniki) is scheduled to open in 2004. Some staff has already been recruited and will be trained over the coming year. The Company will
also be expanding its business of marketing and letting shopping centres. A large number of developments are underway and are being
marketed either by Sonae Imobiliária Property Management (as is the case for Parque Atlântico, Estação Viana and Coimbra Retail Park
and the extension of CascaiShopping), or by CCC (who are responsible for Avenida M-40, Luz del Tajo, Plaza Eboli, Dos Mares and
Zubiarte, which are being developed by Sonae Imobiliária, and also the projects at Elche, Fuengirola, Mijas and Gandia, which are being
developed by third party companies).
In Italy, Greece, Germany and Austria, we will also begin the marketing and letting of the anchor stores in centres under development,
either directly through our own teams or through contracts with other companies.

> INVESTMENT IN SHOPPING CENTRES Sonae Imobiliária opened the Parque D. Pedro in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo on 19th March 2002. This Centre is the largest
shopping and leisure centre in Latin America. There are 360 shops and 108,000 m2 of GLA. The total rents generated by the shop-
ping centres owned or co-owned by Sonae Imobiliária in Brazil grew by 55.8% in Reais. If we exclude the opening of Parque D. Pedro
> DEVELOPMENT OF SHOPPING CENTRES Boavista Shopping is being developed in Santo Amaro, in São Paulo, and it is due to open in April 2004. About 60% of the GLA has
already been let. The estimated development cost is € 18 million. In July 2002 the Board of the Company approved the investment
in the extension of Shopping Penha, in the city of São Paulo. The total development cost is estimated at € 11.6 million and the GLA
of the Centre will be Increased by about 12,300 m2.

the growth in Reais was 6.6%. Converted into Euro this amounts to a fall of 11.9% compared with 2002. The occupancy rate of the port-
folio at the end of 2002 was 85%. It should be noted that the growth in rents has been negatively affected by the substantial devalu-
ation of the Brazilian Real.
The open market value, as of 31st December 2002, of the Brazilian shopping centres in operation was € 97 million, a growth of € 88
million resulting exclusively from the opening of Parque D. Pedro. It should be noted that once again this growth was strongly
affected by the devaluation of the Brazilian Real.

Overall there were 53.5 million visitors to these shopping centres in 2002 (an increase of 20.8% over 2001) which generated sales
of more than 914.7 million Reais (€ 246.3 million) a growth of 121.57% (in Reais), compared to the same period in 2001. On a like-
for-like basis the number of visitor fell by 7.2% and sales rose by 8.23%.
> FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SHOPPING CENTRES BRAZIL BUSINESSThe total contribution of this business of the company to the Consolidated Profit was € 30.3 million.
This business includes investment (Sonae Enplanta and Parque D. Pedro), management (Unishopping), and development (Sonaeimo
and Boavista Shopping) of shopping centres. Parque D. Pedro was transferred from development to investment when it opened to the
public in 2002.
The Gross Operating Profit of Investment in Shopping Centres was € 7.3 million, compared with € 848 thousand in 2001. This growth
resulted from the opening to the public of Parque D. Pedro in the middle of March. This Operating Profit also included a non-recurring
element of € 2.3 million relating to key money (deducted from the letting costs) recognized in the accounts of Parque D. Pedro at the
time of its opening.
In relation to Property Management, the income from Property Management Services amounted to € 1.6 million, derived from contracts
for management services of the five shopping centres in which Sonae Enplanta has a share and from the inclusion of the property
management of Parque D. Pedro in the management portfolio of Unishopping. The income from Property Development amounted to
€ 241 thousand, derived from development services provided by Unishopping and by Sonaeimo to projects under development.
The Financial Costs relate to local financing charges and exchange differences on the loans made by the shareholders to Parque
D. Pedro (€ 7.6 million). The Financial Income results from the capitalisation of interest on the development of Parque D. Pedro, until
its opening in March 2002. Other Non-Recurring Income/(Costs) of € 737 thousand resulted from the sale of the C&A shop in Parque
D. Pedro. Non-Realised Property Profits of € 47 million arose almost exclusively from the revaluation of Parque D. Pedro as of
1/12/2002. Deferred tax is calculated based on this amount.

> SONAE IMOBILIÁRIA REVIEWED AND IMPROVED ITS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMIn 2002 in compliance with Norm ISO 14001 Sonae Imobiliária reviewed the operational procedures of its Environmental Management
System (EMS) and defined procedures for the Real Estate Development sector of its business. These procedures, three in total, were
structured according to the logic of this development business.
• New Businesses
Defines how to evaluate possible environmental issues relating to land and properties to be purchased.
• Design and Development
Defines environmental requirements for Sonae Imobiliária’s projects. Its main objective is to promote eco-efficiency by implementing
common requirements for all projects regardless of the country where they are located.
• Environmental Management of Building Works
Defines environmental requirements during construction and establishes environmental management rules for building works.
> THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EMS WAS STARTED IN PROJECTS UNDER DEVELOPMENTIn 2002, as a result the implementation of New Business Procedures, an Environmental Due Diligence – study of soil utilization and
contamination –, was done on all land purchased. These studies follow the general "Standard Practice for Environment Site assess-
ment" methodology published by the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM, 2000). During the year Sonae Imobiliária did not
make any land purchase that had environmental problems. Implementation of Procedures for Design and Development was started
in 2002 in the majority of projects in the course of development in the Iberian Peninsula (Parque Atlântico, Estação Viana, Luz del Tajo,
>in
revie
w
58
Dos Mares, Plaza Eboli), and environmental audits of the projects for water supply and drainage,
management of waste and acoustics, were also made on centres being developed in Portugal.
In relation to the environmental requirements to be applied in the projects, it should be
noted that Sonae Imobiliária chose to abandon the BREEAM (Building Research Estab-
lishment Environmental Assessment Scheme) methodology and to create its own.
This new "Environmental Standards for Retail Developments" methodology is not
only based on the requirements which the company has already defined, but
also takes into account internationally recognized requirements for the envi-
ronmental certification of buildings. In addition, a search engine for the
requirements data base was developed which is available on the Internet for
project managers and designers.
The implementation of Building Works Management Procedures was started
in Estação Viana in 2002, thereby ensuring that the environmental impact
resulting from the building works was reduced and controlled.
We implemented, in December 2002, a noise monitoring system at Estação
Viana in order to minimize its impact in the surroundings.
> PROCEEDING WITH EMS IMPLEMENTATION IN CENTRESTHAT ARE ALREADY OPENThe implementation of EMS continued in the Shopping Centres in Portugal, and the imple-
mentation and coordination of EMS was begun in centres where Sonae Imobiliária is the owner or
co-owner, in Spain and in Brazil. EMS monitoring went on as in previous years and in the second
semester the centres in Brazil were also included. Monitoring was focused especially on the areas of waste and
energy, the environmental areas which are most relevant in operational terms.
It is important to note that the method used in quantifying waste was altered as a result of recommendations made in the audit of
waste management systems that took place in each centre at the beginning of 2002.

The rate of recycling of waste has been increasing, not only due to the awareness campaigns directed at shopkeepers, making them
constantly aware of the importance of correctly sorting waste, but also to a gradual improvement in infrastructure which will support
separate waste collection, for instance in the Food Courts.
> THE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY IN SHOPPING CENTRES IN PORTUGAL HAS IMPROVEDThe reduction in energy consumption in 2002 is not only the result of measures taken on a managerial level, such as new timeta-
bles/programming of equipment working hours and lit areas, but is also due to specific energy rationalisation programmes, such as
the Greenlight Programme in which the Centro Colombo participated. This a voluntary Community Programme aimed at controlling
CO2 emissions in an economically viable way, for instance by reusing already existing lighting installations. After joining the Green-
light Programme, the savings obtained became obvious. Because of these modifications to its lighting system, Centro Colombo saved
around 400,830 Kwh/year.
In spite of this better performance, the levels of energy consumed in the running of the Shopping Centres led to a programme being
started in 2002 of in-depth research in order to identify energy efficiency levels, which could become benchmarks for the Shopping
Centre sector.

The amount of consumption by Sonae Imobiliária as shown in these figures will still be "reviewed" in accordance with endogenous
factors (e.g. the presence of skylights, inefficient air conditioning) and/or exogenous factors (e.g. climate), which at the moment have
a negative influence on these results. The work to define the weightings of the "correction" to be made was also started in 2002 and
will be finished next year.
A pilot study was started in ViaCatarina in 2002 to evaluate the energy efficiency of the development. This work, to be concluded in
2003, will enable real time consumption figures to be obtained, thus enabling action to be taken immediately in those areas where
there are deviations from the expected amounts, thereby avoiding waste of energy.
Comparison Between consuption benchmarks for
shopping centres and actual consumption in Soane
Imobiliária’s shopping centres in Portugal

The reduction in energy consumptionin 2002 is not only the result of
measures taken on a manageriallevel, such as new
timetables/programming equipmentworking hours and lit areas, but is
also due to specific energyrationalisation programmes.

> THE RESULTS OF EMS IN THE SHOPPING CENTRESIn order to assess the results of EMS, environmental audits were carried out in 2002 on all shopping
centres in Portugal and Spain, and every recommendation was analysed, budgeted and included in the
respective investment plans and Environmental Action Plans for 2003.
> ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESSIn October 2002 the Board of Directors attended a Workshop on "Sustainable Development", during
which various guidelines for Sonae Imobiliária were identified aimed at Sustainable Development. As
in previous years, various events to promote Environmental Awareness among visitors were also held
at Shopping Centres. The Campaign "Trip to TetraPak World" was promoted in the Centres in Portugal,
endeavouring to create awareness among visitors of the importance of waste separation and of the
recycling process of TetraPak’s packaging. Also waste separation was the theme of a campaign in Shop-
ping Centres in Brazil, like TivoliShopping, to make visitors aware of correct environmental behaviour.
Surveys among visitors to Plaza Mayor – Spain and Parque D. Pedro – Brazil reveal once more the impor-
tance visitors place on environmental management in this type of development.
in 2002 environmental audits were made in all the centresoperating in Portugal and Spain
Water management audits were made in every shopping centre in Portugal. The audit’s
objective was to analyse the way the systems were operating, to identify solutions for
technical/operational problems/flaws resulting in waste and consequently to define a plan
to monitor water consumption in order to detect any problem, in real time, and to avoid
excessive and unnecessary waste of this resource. The auditors’ recommendations were
implemented in Centro Colombo and as a result a 35% reduction in consumption was
achieved, which meant a yearly saving of the order of € 127,847 (taking water at a cost of
€ 1.11/ m3).

> NAV OF THE PROPERTIESASSUMPTIONS ON NAV CALCULATIONS
Starting in 2001, the Company decided to adopt International Accounting Standards (IAS) in the preparation of its consolidated
accounts. The IAS lead to the open-market value of the investment properties being reflected in the Company’s Balance Sheet. We do
not believe however that the Net Asset Value resulting from such a Balance Sheet truly reflects the value of the Company and this
basically for two reasons. First, in accordance with IAS, the properties under development or held for sale are not booked at market
value. In the case of Sonae Imobiliária, the shopping centres under development are therefore booked at historical cost. The under-
estimation of value in these properties can be significant. Second and more importantly, in accordance with IAS, deferred taxes are
booked in connection with the latent capital gains arising from investment properties. From the Company’s point of view, this deduc-
tion for deferred taxes is arguable. In a property sale, the market practice is not to sell the asset itself but to sell the corporate vehicle
holding it. And, in fact, in several jurisdictions, capital gains arising from the sale of shares are tax-sheltered. For these reasons, the
Company calculates and publishes a NAV that results from valuing all of its properties on an open-market basis and includes no
deduction for deferred taxes. The calculation now presented is consistent with the NAV calculations published in previous years. It is
hoped that a better perception of the value of the Company is obtained in this way.
> NAV OF THE PROPERTIES AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2002As in last year, the chart below compares open market value of the properties with their respective historical costs (net of deprecia-
tion) as of the 31 December 2002. The difference between both amounts gives an approximation of the return generated by each prop-
erty (excluding the effect of the property’s previous year’s results).
Please note that the concept of "value created" is different from the concept of "valuation surplus" shown in the accounts. Both corre-
spond to the difference between market value and the historical cost of the property. However, to calculate "value created" we have
used a definition of historical cost that is different from the one used to calculate "valuation surplus" in the accounts. When calculating
"value created", the historical cost of the property includes marketing and letting costs (as addition to the investment) and key money
received (as a deduction to the investment).
> OPEN MARKET VALUE OF THE SONAE IMOBILIÁRIA PROPERTIESThe Company has published every year, since 1997, the open market valuation of its properties as prepared by an independent entity,
Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker.
> OPEN MARKET VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2002Sonae Imobiliária, in accordance with its strategy, is focused on shopping and leisure centres – they represent practically all of the
open market value of the properties attributable to the Company.
The Company’s real estate assets were valued as of the 31 December 2002 at € 2,837 billion (€ 2,348 billion in 2001). Of that amount,
the part attributable to Sonae Imobiliária was € 1,641 billion (€ 1,361 billion in 2001) – this represents a growth of € 279 million or
20.5% in relation to 2001.
The geographical distribution of Sonae Imobiliária Properties’ Open Market Value, as of 31/12/2002 was as follows:
Europe 92.9% [€ 1,524 million] Brazil 7.1% [€ 117 million]
> financial situation and results> FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEAdoption of International Accounting Standards The Company, as mentioned before, decided to use International Accounting Standards
(IAS) when preparing the consolidated accounts for 2001. The main differences between IAS and the Portuguese Accounting
Standards previously used by the Company are as follows:
Properties held as investments are revalued annually on the basis of an independent open-market valuation (since 1997 Sonae
Imobiliária has published the independent open-market valuation of its properties);
The variations in the value of properties held as investments, or properties under development which are completed and go into oper-
ation during the year, are booked as gains or losses of that same year;
Deferred taxes are booked those gains or losses;
Given that the investment properties are booked at open-market value every year, no charge for depreciation is booked;
Debt and financial derivatives are also booked at open-market value.
The accounts, however, treat these amounts, respectively, as cost and income of the year and not as part of the investment. The NAV
as of 31 December 2002, of the properties attributable to Sonae Imobiliária (in Portugal and abroad – as per chart) reached € 1,037
billion versus € 934 million on the 31 Dec 2001. The growth was € 103 million or 1.1%. The NAV per share of the properties attribut-
able to the Company was € 27.67 versus € 24.90 as of 31 Dec 2001.

SONAE IMOBILIÁRIA ORGANIZATION
The restructuring that took place in December 2000 was designed to adjust the Group’s legal structure to its several businesses; Shop-
ping Centre Development, Shopping Centre Investment, Shopping Centre Management, Shopping Centres Brazil, Car Parks and Resi-
dential Development.
The organization of Sonae Imobiliária, with the exception of Residential Development, which has been sold, still stands and can be
illustrated as follows:
At the end of the year, Sonae Imobiliária had a team of 607 employees, 401 working in Portugal, 81 in
Spain, 16 in Germany, 5 in Greece, 5 in Italy and 99 in Brazil. Of this total, 558 work in the shopping centre
business and 49 in SPEL

> PROFIT AND LOSS ACOUNTIn consolidated terms, the total income of Sonae Imobiliária in 2002 amounted to € 237.2 million
(€ 227.1 million in 2001), which represents a growth of 4% over the previous year.
In 2002, the Company altered the procedures to annual intra-group transactions between Prop-
erty Management Companies held at 100% and Property Investment Companies consolidated
under the proportional method. This alteration produced an equal amount reduction on the Total
Direct Income and Total Direct Costs of the consolidated accounts. This adjustment was also
made in 2001 (€ -81.5 million) for comparison purposes.
As previously stated, Prædium – Sonae Imobiliária’s residential Development company – was
sold in March 2002. If the Total Direct Income from both 2002 and 2001 would be excluded from
Prædium’s contribution then the growth experienced by the Total Direct Income in 2002 would be
25.3%. This increase was due to the inclusion of AlgarveShopping, MadeiraShopping (Portugal)
and Parque Principado (Spain) during the full year, the inauguration of Plaza Mayor (Spain) and
Parque D. Pedro (Brazil) and to the organic rent growth of existing operating centres.

The results of the Company under IAS have two main components. The first, the Direct Profit from Investments, was € 63 million
(€ 57.5 million in 2001) – corresponding to the operating profit which shows a significant growth over 2001 (10%), both due to organic
growth, and as a result of the centres that went into operation during this period.
The second component corresponds to Indirect Investment Profit (€ 166.9 million versus € 116.5 million in 2001) and is divided
between Gains on the Revaluation of Properties (€ 166.9 compared to € 101.8 million in 2001) and the Gain on Sale of Investments
(€ 14.7 million in 2001). From these amounts, deferred taxes of € 63.8 million (€ 39.0 million in 2001) were deducted.
EBITDA reached € 95.5 million (€ 73.8 million in 2001) growing 30% as a consequence of the organic growth and the addition of shop-
ping centres to the portfolio in 2001 and 2002.
Net Financial Costs came to € 29.8 million (€ 14.5 million in 2001), reflecting the ambitious international expansion plan of the
Company and the unfavourable foreign exchange rate result coming from shareholders’ loans made to Brazilian companies.

The financial position of Sonae Imobiliária remains sound. Debt (corresponding to Loans and Other Liabilities, Current and Non-
-Current less Cash) increased during the year, from € 459 million to € 697 million. At the same time, the Company’s asset base
increased, resulting from investment and from the increase in values of the properties (with the corresponding increase in Net
Worth). In consequence, Gearing (measured as Indebtedness divided by Total Assets less Cash) grew only from 35% to 37.4%, which
we consider a comfortable level.
