JOSé de mello saúde José de Mello Saúde carries out its activity in the provision of healthcare services. The Management Report aims to describe in detail what José de Mello Saúde is and report the facts on activity for 2015. Message from the Chairman In the year in which we commemorate CUF’s 70th anniversary, we maintained coherence over these seven decades and consolidated our leadership in the area of healthcare in Portugal. Step by step, we continue to focus on long-lasting values at the service of the Portuguese people in terms of geographic expansion, clinical quality and differentiation, human development and the irreproachable experience we want to offer our clients, affirming José de Mello Saúde as an active part in the sector and Country’s development. To reflect this ambition, in 2015, CUF units continued to register sustained growth in all areas of healthcare, with over 1.4 million consultations (+12% than the same period of 2014), 45,000patients undergoing surgery (+9% in comparison with the previous year) and around 37,000 discharged patients (+3.9%). Hospitals managed under a public-private partnership regime (PPP) also registered positive performance in all areas of healthcare. In 2015, over 571,000 consultations were made (+6% than in 2014), over 38,000patients underwent surgery (+3% than in the same period of the previous year), around 299,000 emergencies attended to (+3% than in 2014) and over 4,400 births took place (+9% than in the same period of the previous year). 5 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Despite the fragile economic situation, we continued to invest in Portugal, as evidenced by the presentation of the new CUF Tejo Hospital, which will open in Alcântara in the second half of 2018 and which is a new reference in terms of healthcare. The project for the CUF Tejo Hospital, designed for Ilnesses of the Future, stems from a combination of 70 years’ experience and know-how of José de Mello Saúde’s medical and management teams and offers the best international practices in reference hospitals. Following the announcement of the purchase Santarém’s Private Hospital in March 2015, currently known as CUF Santarém Hospital, José de Mello Saúde took over its management on 1 July, after signing the purchase contract. This represented the completion of another important step in the geographic expansion strategy but there is still more to come: in the first quarter, we also opened a new clinic, CUF Miraflores, in the county of Oeiras, in permanent joint operation with the CUF Infante Santo Hospital. The excellent service we offer our patients has extended to the public-private partnerships managed by José de Mello Saúde. By being distinguished by the Health Regulatory Authority with the highest level of Clinical Excellence in seven different areas, through the study of the National Health Evaluation System (SINAS), Braga Hospital was rated the best hospital unit in the country. In Braga, 2015 was marked by the external recognition of its high standards that distinguish the institution, which include renewal of the Hospital’s global accreditation, the ISO-9001:2008 certification and recognition of the study of the multinational IASIST “Top 5 - Hospital Excellence” as the best from medium/large hospitals in the category. It was one of the five best hospital units in the National Health Service (NHS) and was also awarded “1st Prize in Sustainable Health” in the “Hospital Care” category. Braga Hospital also retained its well-deserved outstanding position in the NHS in terms of activity, already representing an important part of it and making a decisive contribution to the increase in public response to patients. We must remember that this unit performs around 4% of all NHS surgeries, approximately 6% of outpatient surgeries, representing around 3.5% of internments and outpatient appointments. It is also responsible for Government savings as shown in studies conducted and public information provided on the hospital benchmarking website developed by the Health System Central Administration Authority (ACSS), according to which Braga Hospital will represent annual savings 6 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 of 30 to 40 million euros in comparison with other NHS hospitals with the same healthcare profile. With regard to PPPs, Vila Franca de Xira Hospital also took pride in achieving the maximum rating in clinical excellence in four different areas in the SINAS. It is also important to mention the high quality services supplied in 2015, which led to the renewed accreditation of the hospital by the Joint Commission International. In the study promoted by IASIST Portugal “Top 5 - 2015 Excellence Hospitals”, the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital obtained the second national position in its reference group. It is still the hospital in the Lisbon area with the shortest waiting list for surgery (82 days), according to data from the SIGLIC referring to December 2015. Finally, amongst the many awards received in 2015, CUF was awarded the Consumer Choice ‘16 award by ConsumerChoice in the Private Hospital category. These awards strengthen our confidence in the future and our desire to continue with our strategy to expand the CUF network in 2016, all over Portugal, with the opening of the CUF Viseu Hospital and development of the CUF Descobertas Hospital, CUF Cascais Hospital and CUF Torres Vedras Hospital. This reinforced physical presence of the CUF Network in Portugal will also be reflected in its contribution to the creation of qualified jobs, which was already the case in 2015, when 2,000 new employees were admitted to different health units. Also in 2015, we received another 4,000 students and trainees in many different training areas, in particular medical and nursing apprenticeships. At the end of 2015, José de Mello Saúde had over 7,700 employees; a large team firmly committed to meet the expectations and needs of the Portuguese people. A commitment based on a consistent value proposition, focused on an excellent clinical project and on the irreproachable experience offered, which is an ambition that remains intact for 2016. We will continue to tread the path of success and leadership that brought us here and to make a difference in Healthcare in Portugal.

Below is a brief description of the major events. Expansion Purchase of land and announcement of the opening of the CUF Tejo Hospital José de Mello Saúde announced that a new hospital in Lisbon will be built, the CUF Tejo Hospital. The Hospital will open in 2018, in Alcântara, and over 100 million euros will be invested in the project designed by the architect Frederico Valsassina. The new unit was built in an area of 75 square metres and designed from scratch to fight and treat Illnesses of the Future. The CUF Tejo Hospital project combined the 70 years of experience and knowledge of the José de Mello Saúde medical and management teams with the best international practices in reference hospitals as well as projects still being developed by different partners in the industry that will influence the health sector. Acquisition and initial management of the CUF Santarém Hospital Following the announcement of the agreement to purchase Santarém’s Private Hospital in March 2015, José de Mello Saúde started managing it on 1 July, after signing the contract for the purchase of this unit, currently known as CUF Santarém Hospital. This represented the completion of another important step in the José de Mello Saúde growth and geographic expansion strategy. This healthcare unit has 24 beds, three operating theatres and 14 consultation rooms and has the capacity to treat patients from eight counties in the region and a population of over 190,000. Opening of the CUF Miraflores Clinic José de Mello Saúde opened a new clinic in Miraflores, county of Oeiras, in 2015. The CUF Miraflores Clinic is an outpatient unit and works in conjunction with the CUF Infante Santo Hospital. With approximately 1,000 square metres and on two floors, the CUF Miraflores Clinic has nine consultation rooms, two examination rooms, one treatment room and one wound care room, as well as blood test rooms and an x-ray, ultrasound and CAT scan room, operating six days a week with extended opening hours. The CUF Miraflores Clinic also has 370 parking spaces for clients. 18 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Focus on clinical quality as a central element of the Group’s value proposition Braga Hospital wins the highest SINAS award in seven areas Braga Hospital was once again distinguished for its excellent results by the Health Regulatory Authority (ERS), through the National Health Evaluation System (SINAS), obtaining clinical excellence level III, the highest awarded by the system, in seven clinical areas.

In the areas of clinical excellence, Braga Hospital obtained the highest classification (level III) in the fields of Neurology, Surgery, General Surgery, Cardiology, Orthopaedics (surgical correction of the femur), Obstetrics and Intensive Care. Vila Franca de Xira Hospital wins the highest SINAS award in four areas Vila Franca de Xira Hospital received the highest classification from SINAS (National Health Evaluation System) in the area of clinical excellence in outpatient Surgery, Intensive Care, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics and Patient Safety. IASIST recognises Braga Hospital as one of the five best NHS hospitals The award was attributed by the Hospital benchmarking company – IASIST – to Braga Hospital, qualifying in first place in its medium / large hospital reference group and therefore becoming one of the five best NHS hospital units. Awards were attributed through assessing healthcare quality, efficiency and relevance. Customer Experience CUF Contact Centre moves to new facilities The CUF contact centre moved to the Entreposto building, in the east side of Lisbon. The change of facilities arose from the desire to improve employee conditions and the urge to respond to the organisation’s growing needs. The new contact centre has an area specifically designed for large, pleasant work areas, leisure areas, conference rooms, training rooms and a specific dining area in a total of 2,000 square metres. The move took place in December, and around 250 employees were transferred. 19 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Awards 2015 M&P Best Marketing Award The CUF advertising campaign, which commemorated the 70 years of the brand, was distinguished through winning four 2015 M&P Marketing awards. Paula Brito Silva, marketing director at José de Mello Saúde, was elected Marketeer of the Year.

PROSPECTS FOR 2016 Although the Portuguese economy only showed prospects of moderate growth in 2016 along with improvement in other indicators like the unemployment rate, a more favourable macroeconomic context is anticipated. José de Mello Saúde will certainly play an active role in consolidating the sector and already has a pipeline of opportunities to reinforce its capacities in geographical areas where there are still a limited number of facilities. Even so, financial pressure felt in recent years on public and private healthcare providers is expected to prevail. The decreasing influence of health expenses on the GDP puts greater pressure on sources of healthcare financing. This pressure is also felt due to the growing demand for capital. Continuous advances in medicine require a constant increase in the capacity of healthcare providers to meet the population’s need, modernisation of clinical equipment and higher investments in new drugs and therapies. In the public sector, these constraints lead to an increased demand for operational efficiency and control. In 2016, both public-private partners of José de Mello Saúde (Braga and Vila Franca de Xira Hospitals) will be focused on introducing initiatives to optimise and monitor internal processes and procedures in order to address this concern. Major focus will be on admittance and clinical protocols. In the private sector, this pressure will lead to the increased consolidation of smaller healthcare providers and support from larger operators. 22 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Reinforcement of José de Mello Saúde facilities also entails opening new units and expanding those already existing. The following projects and others will therefore be developed in 2016: (i) opening of a local clinic in the Centre of Porto (which will operate in conjunction with the CUF Porto Hospital); (ii) continuation of the project to expand the CUF Descobertas Hospital, which will give this unit a higher inpatient and outpatient capacity; (iii) first steps in the construction of the CUF Tejo Hospital, designed as a national reference for complex neuroscience and cardiovascular diseases; (iv) opening of the CUF Viseu Hospital. José de Mello Saúde believes that its clinical project and the experience it offers its customers are two central elements of its value proposition. In 2016, José de Mello Saúde will still be focused on guaranteeing that its clinical activities comply with the highest quality standards and promote areas of clinical specialisation in major units in order to obtain excellent quality levels. José de Mello Saúde’s full commitment to its customer led to the implementation of a new challenge focused on active and multidisciplinary management of the patient’s health in a digital context. This led to the creation of the New Customer Relationship Model Project in 2014 that is aimed at increasing knowledge on customers and improving their experience in different types of interactions with CUF units. The project was implemented for the first time at CUF Torres Vedras Hospital, obtaining a positive feedback from customers and employees, and will be extended to other units. 23 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 1.8.VISION, MISSION AND VALUES of each individual • Promoting a culture of accountability, demand, rigour and achievement • Sharing knowledge and work as a team The identity of José de Mello Saúde is characterised by its mission, its values and the objectives it set out to achieve. Excellence in service • Development of clinical centres of excellence • Management of the relationship with the customer • Humanisation of care • Constant improvement of service levels Vision: Be a leader in distinctive quality healthcare provision, based on an integrated network of high performance units, both in private and public sector, and to present options for growth in selected international markets. Misson: Promote the health service provision with the highest levels of knowledge, respecting the primacy of life and the environment through the development of intellectual capital of organisations in a constant quest for the best. To achieve its mission, José de Mello Saúde develops its activity based on three platforms of excellence: Excellence in human talent • Transmission and development of the Group’s values • Evaluation and rewarding performance • Attentive management and challenging the professional career Excellence in operations and systems • Permanent development of innovation capacity and planning • Continuous improvement processes • Systematic increase in productivity • Strong investment in clinical and information technologies • Strict control of costs Values: José de Mello Saúde employees have increased responsibilities in the consolidation of the identity of José de Mello Saúde through the statement and transmission of its values: • Respect for the Dignity and Well-being of the Individual • Human Development • Competence • Innovation 24 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 1.9.ETHICS Ethics is a distinctive value in the José de Mello’s genetic code and also in José de Mello Saúde. Respect for shareholders, employees, customers and partners, the principles of good management and transparency are some of the aspects that reflect our business ethics. At José de Mello Saúde, as an entity providing healthcare, the ethical issues are even more important, hence one of the values that guide its activities is respect for the dignity and well-being of the individual. This central concern with ethical issues motivated the creation of a code of ethics that applies to all of José de Mello Saúde Units, and the creation of the Ethics Council, an advisory body of José de Mello Saúde Executive Committee, which is responsible for, among other things, examining, on an ethical level, the issues raised by scientific progress, social development and legislative activity in the fields of biology, medicine or health in general. Together with the Ethics Council, the larger health units have their own Ethics Committee, under the law. This Committee is composed of internal elements, along with external personalities who have a profound knowledge on ethical issues. 25 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 2. DEVELOPMENT AXES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 2.1. CLINICAL EXCELLENCE The strategic priority of José de Mello Saúde is clinical quality and patient safety. It therefore establishes a firm and obvious commitment to top management, reinforcing the desired differentiating and patient-centred value proposition.

National Health Evaluation System (SINAS) The publication in January 2016 of the National Health Evaluation System (SINAS) showed that José de Mello Saúde achieved recognition in 2014 for completion of all required quality parameters, in all its units and in all aspects under evaluation: clinical excellence, patient safety, facilities and comfort, focusing on the user and user satisfaction. 27 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 All Hospital Units of José de Mello Saúde have five stars on evaluation level 1 Clinical Excellence Patient Safety Facilities Comfort Client Satisfaction Client Focus HCD HCIS In the areas of clinical excellence, José de Mello Saúde units also distinguished themselves by the 3+ classification, particularly in Acute Myocardial Infarction (Braga Hospital) and Stroke (Braga Hospital), as well as Surgery and Outpatient Surgery (CUF Cascais Hospital), Gynaecology (CUF Infante Santo and Vila Franca de Xira Hospitals) and Orthopaedics (Braga and Vila Franca de Xira Hospitals). In specific areas, particular reference should be made to Intensive Care and Obstetrics units (Braga and Vila Franca de Xira Hospitals), which also obtained the highest classification. Global clinical quality results obtained by units of José de Mello Saúde in 2015 were very positive in terms of average waiting, mortality and risk-adjusted readmission indices, both in absolute values and in comparison with their benchmark.

This unit’s environmental management system also retained the certification awarded for evidence of compliance with ISO 14001. In the hospital accreditation plan, the Joint Commission International revalidated the accreditation obtained by Vila Franca de Xira Hospital the previous year, after an annual visit by this entity to the hospital. 2.2.CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE In addition to several gradual improvements to customer experience along the value chain, a pilot project for a new administrative customer relationship model was started. The pilot project clearly benefitted customers and employees through improved administrative customer relationship indicators among others: reduced waiting and support times and less visits to the Reception. Given the benefits already achieved, the aim is to extend this model to other units in 2016 in order to improve the experience of all customers, enabling units to know and support them better and offer more efficient care management. 30 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 On a par with the review of the administrative care model, the aim of the units is to implement a new customer experience management model that focuses on continuous improvement of their experience through real time monitoring of process indicators and customer satisfaction. 2.3.HUMAN TALENT Similar to previous years and accompanied by the growth of José de Mello Saúde in its sector of activity in Portugal, a considerable increase in the number of employees was registered in 2015. This was due to the organic growth of both public-private hospitals in Braga and Vila Franca de Xira and to the expansion of José de Mello Saúde facilities in the country. In late 2015, over 7700 employees worked for José de Mello Saúde.

Strengthening culture, by sharing the same values and principles leading to across-the-board action principles is one of the pillars of Human Resources policies at José de Mello Saúde. Right from the moment employees start working at José de Mello Saúde, they are all told about its history and identity. This is to encourage and promote the culture and values of José de Mello Saúde through performance of regular activities, new employee integration programmes, staff meetings and other activities. 33 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 mentioning “Program + Talent”, which aims to attract young people with high development potential, who come from recognised management schools. The investment in talent is made across the board, taking into account the organisation’s critical functions along with its challenges and strategic objectives. Training Talent Management To attract and retain talent in an integrated manner is another pillar of the José de Mello Saúde human resource policy, which is developed through a systematic process of identifying, evaluating, developing and retaining employees who have the potential for growth and who are committed to our mission and values. Since 2009, José de Mello Saúde has been investing heavily in talent management and personnel development programmes. As an example of the policy of identifying attracting talent, it is worth José de Mello Saúde is strongly committed to promoting training and development for its employees. The CUF Academy is a business unit of the Group that intends to rise to this challenge by encouraging training and scientific research for all private units in public-private partnership with José de Mello Saúde and other external entities contacting the latter with a view to developing skills through qualified training in the area of healthcare. The mission of the CUF Academy is to ensure the development and improvement of skills of healthcare professionals through training programmes based on the best and most advanced practices, in order to promote research and excellent professional practice. In 2015, José de Mello Saúde reaffirmed its focus on training by promoting constant renewal and innovation of healthcare professionals and the medical and scientific community. Focus on this area has therefore been one of the CUF Academy’s major concerns. In 2015, it accounted for almost 125,000 hours of training, which corresponds to an increase of approximately 40% in comparison with the previous year. 34 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Performance Evaluation Apprenticeships To manage performance, encouraging and rewarding behaviour that lead to the implementation of the organisation’s challenging objectives in line with its strategy, is another pillar of the José de Mello Saúde Human Resources policy. With the growth that has occurred in recent years and with clear focus on people, José de Mello Saúde focused on the improvement of human resources performance management policies. It is worth highlighting the review of the performance evaluation model and remuneration policy in line with the organisation’s policies as well as implementation of new evaluation support systems. José de Mello Saúde considers strategies for developing healthcare, investment in teaching and cooperation with university institutions and focuses on pre-graduate training. In 2015, it receives over 4,000 trainees in a wide variety of training programmes. These included medicine and nursing, which registered 40% and 31%, respectively. Recruitment As a result of the growth of José de Mello Saúde, more than 2000 new employees were recruited for different health units in 2015. These values reflect not only the strengthening of existing teams (mainly in two hospitals under the public-private partnership scheme), but also the opening of the Hospital Privado de Santarém, after focusing on facilitating access by the population to a different type of healthcare service. 35 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Students and Trainees Interns 1,6661 188 79 9 236 1,275 9 605 264 141 Operational Assistants and Medical Auxiliaries Tech.

This policy has undergone active management of its debt profile in recent years in terms of diversification of its sources of finance and extension of maturity periods of same. As a result of this policy and its solid financial position, José de Mello Saúde has been able to access different financing sources after significantly altering its debt profile over the past two years and terminating 2015 with only 10% of its debt in traditional bank loans. In fact, during this period, José de Mello Saúde sought new sources of financing, namely two bond issues in June 2014 and May 2015 of 50 million euros each, which allowed it to benefit from the general improvement in financial market conditions in recent years. The May bond issue was actually part of the refinancing of the amount owed by José de Mello Saúde, which also led to a reduction of the average spread and an increase in its debt maturity. It also led to an increase in market exposure, contrary to traditional banking methods. 37 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Financial Debt Profile of José de Mello Saúde 2014 2015 7.6% 10.3% 26.2% 10.0% 2.6% 47.3% 22.1% 3.6% 32.6% 37.9% Bonds ST MLT Other Finance Leasings Bonds ST MLT Other Finance Leasings 38 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Despite the increase registered in 2015 in José de Mello Saúde’s net debt, which is entirely justified by the decrease in cash due to the investment policy implemented (acquisition of the Hospital Privado de Santarém and land for the new CUF Tejo Hospital as well as for the expansion of the CUF Descobertas Hospital), the gross debt decreased by 10.1 million euros in comparison with 2014. José de Mello Saúde has also been able to reduce its short-term financial debt, through increasing the average maturity of its debt to 3.8 years until the end of 2015 (2.8 years in 2014) and reducing the average spread to 3.46% (4.20% in 2014).

BUSINESS AREA ACTIVITY REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 CUF In 2015, CUF units showed growth in all areas of healthcare. In the whole year, over 1.4 million consultations were registered (+12% than in the same period of the previous year), 45,000 patients underwent surgery (+9% than in the same period of the previous year) and approximately 37,000 patients discharged (+ 3.9% than in the same period of the previous year). Due to the CUF network growth strategy, Miraflores CUF clinic opened, offering a wide range of outpatient healthcare services. This clinic has an area of around 1280 square metres, with nine consultation rooms and two examination rooms. In 2015, the Hospital Privado de Santarém was also purchased and integrated in the José de Mello Saúde management structure and its name was changed to CUF Santarém Hospital. CUF Santarém Hospital is located in an area with excellent access and focuses on supplying healthcare services to all counties in the district of Santarém in an inpatient and outpatient regime on a permanent basis. With almost 5,700 square metres, it offers 24 beds for admittance, three operating theatres and 14 consultation and examination rooms. 42 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Public-private Partnerships Hospitals managed under a public-private partnership regime also registered positive performance in all areas of healthcare. In 2015, over 571,000 consultations were made (+6% than in 2014), over 38,000 patients underwent surgery (+3% than in the same period of the previous year), around 299,000 emergencies (+3% than in 2014) and over 4,400 births (+9% than in the same period of the previous year). In Braga, the year was marked by external recognition of the high standards that distinguish the Institution, namely renewal of global accreditation of Braga Hospital and the ISO 9001:2008 certification for pathological anatomy, clinical pathology, imaging, imuno-haemotherapy, pharmacy, sterilisation by the Accreditation Authority CHKS – Caspe Healthcare Knowledge System. In terms of recognition, some distinctions that reflect the huge commitment, effort and quality of the hospital’s healthcare professionals. In the IASIST multi-national study Top 5 – Excellence Hospitals, which divides the units into five groups, according to their dimensions, and which analyses several quality, relevance and efficiency indicators, Braga Hospital was elected winner in the medium/large hospital category. Braga Hospital was also awarded 1st Prize in Sustainable Health in the Hospital Care category. This prize is aimed at divulging and encouraging good health sustainability practices in Portugal. 43 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 2015 was also marked by the award from the Health Regulation Authority (ERS) and was the only hospital in the country to be distinguished by the National Health Evaluation System (SINAS) with the highest classification in seven clinical areas. It obtained level III in clinical excellence, the highest level of the system, in the following clinical areas: Neurology, Surgery, General Surgery, Cardiology, Orthopaedics (surgical correction of the femur), Obstetrics and Intensive Care. Braga Hospital retained its position in the core of the National Health Service (NHS), in terms of activity, already representing an important part of it and making a decisive contribution to the increased response from the NHS. Around 4% of total NHS surgery and approximately 5% of outpatient surgery are performed at this institution. It represents around 3.5% in terms of inpatient and outpatient services. It is also important to mention the increase in quality of the services supplied by the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital in 2015. The hospital also retained its accreditation from the Joint Commission International and in the National Health Evaluation System and it obtained the highest classification of clinical excellence (3+) in the categories of Outpatients, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics (hip and knee replacement) and Intensive Care Unit. In the study promoted by IASIST Portugal Top 5 – 2015 Excellence Hospitals, the hospital obtained the second national position in its reference group. Vila Franca de Xira is still the hospital in the Lisbon area with the shortest waiting list for surgery (82 days), according to data from the SIGLIC referring to December 2015. Also worthy of mention are the solidarity scholarships awarded by the Social Responsibility Fund, which supported projects in the area of deficiency/incapacity in 2015. 44 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 4. RISK MANAGEMENT REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 José de Mello Saúde’s Risk Management Policy aims to ensure proper identification of the risks associated with the business developed as well as adopting and implementing the necessary measures to minimise the negative impacts that adverse developments of the factors underlying these risks may have on the financial structure of the company and its sustainability. As part of the risk management process, we then identified what we consider materially most relevant: Financial Risks The main financial risks identified are liquidity risks, the risk of financing, and exposure to changes in interest rates. Management of liquidity risk demands continuous monitoring of the estimates in order to ensure compliance with all José de Mello Saúde’s liabilities to the entities with which it is related in its activity. Through active management of the business plan and comprehensive mapping of needs or future cash surpluses, it seeks even to reduce the risk of financing by having a permanent relationship with financial partners. Interest rate risk management aims to minimise exposure to changes in interest rates and their impact on the Financial Statements within the established limits. Through control policy adopted, it seeks to select suitable strategies for each business area in order to ensure that this risk factor does not adversely affect the operational capacity. On the other hand, exposure to interest rate risk is even monitored through the simulation of adverse scenarios, but with some degree of probability, that could adversely affect the results obtained by José de Mello Saúde. In 2014, the JMS Group had almost all its financing indexed at variable rates. Plain vanilla swaps were contracted in May, June and July 2015 to reduce the risk of exposure to interest rate variations, which cover 100% of the debenture loans emitted in June 2014 and May 2015 (100 million euros in all). Swaps contracted respect the characteristics of the aforementioned loans emitted so that they may be considered hedge products (same indexer, same interest period and payment deadlines). On the interest payment date, José de Mello Saúde receives interest indexed to Euribor six months for 100% of the debenture capital and pays interest at a fixed rate on the same amount. 46 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 1. Healthcare provision Healthcare provision, according to best practices, technological excellence, and the latest and proven scientific progress in the prevention, diagnosis and clinical treatment of disease, sustained by obtaining clinical results that are periodically monitored and reassessed against the objectives and established goals. A model of healthcare provision based on the continuous search for solutions to meet our customers’ needs. Operational Risk José de Mello Saúde, as market leader in healthcare provision, is committed to the guiding principles of sustainable development. Respect for these principles is reflected in the imperative that we ensure, at all times, the creation of value and, therefore, the satisfaction of our customers, employees, shareholders and the third parties with whom José de Mello Saúde collaborates in the exercise of their activity. In this context, José de Mello Saúde develops an Integrated Management Model across all the units based on seven pillars: 2. Patient Safety The maintenance of a transversal program for clinical and non-clinical risk management, which establishes and prioritises actions to identify potential risks and prevent their occurrence, is strengthened by the implementation of the recommendations of good practice in order to eliminate unnecessary damage arising from healthcare provision. 3. Security of Information The protection of information, supporting the efficient service provided to its customers, based on integrity, availability of information systems and infrastructure and data confidentiality. 4. Environmental efficiency The identification of environmental aspects arising from the healthcare provision enables impacts to be evaluated and actions to be prioritised with a view to minimising and controlling them. 47 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 The promotion of sustainable use of natural resources including energy and water, pollution prevention and reduction, reuse and recycling of waste generated. 5.

Prevention of occurrence of injuries, incidents, accidents and occupational diseases. 6. Legal requirements Compliance with applicable legal requirements and other requirements that are endorsed. 7. Continuous improvement The establishment of a culture of continuous improvement that consolidates the management of processes and promotes the efficiency of the integrated management model. 48 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 5. ECONOMIC-FINANCIAL ANALYSIS REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 5.1.MACROECONOMIC AND SECTOR FRAMEWORK I – Macroeconomic framework In 2015, recovery of economic activity in the Euro zone continued to be gradually consolidated and is increasingly supported by internal demand. The Euro Zone registered gradual improvement of macroeconomic indicators and an increase of 1.5% is expected in the GDP as well as variations of 1.6% in public consumption and 1.7% in private consumption. According to estimates of Central European Banks, the real GDP of the Euro Zone should maintain a positive trend, whereby a 1.7% increase is anticipated in 2016, and 1.9% in 2017. However, the unemployment rate should remain high and it will still take some time before returning to pre-crisis levels.1 Still in the Euro zone, year-on-year inflation is expected to be around 0.1% in 2015, 1.0% in 2016, and 1.6% in 2017.2 In Portugal, economic activity once again showed signs of recovery in 2015. In the first semester, the GDP showed an increase of 1.6% in comparison with the same period of the previous year (vs. 0.9% in 2014) followed by a decrease during the third quarter and subsequent recovery in the fourth quarter. 3,4 Improvement of the labour market situation, the drop in fuel prices and decrease in interest rates contributed to the recent development of consumer expectations and private consumption.3 The year 2015 is expected to have terminated with an increase in the GDP of around 1.7%.2 Economic activity in Portugal should continue to show a moderate increase in 2016 with average growth rates close to those forecast for the Euro zone.2 In regards to unemployment, 2015 is expected to have terminated with a decrease of 1.5%, standing at 12.6%. A decrease of 0.9% is expected for 2016, ending the year with an unemployment rate of around 11.7%.5 1 Central European Bank Eurosystem (2015.12).

According to the latest figures from the INE, in 2014, a 1.3% increase in current expenditure on healthcare was registered. This increase represents a reversal in the tendency of the previous year, where a 1.6% decrease in current expenditure on health was registered, which should have prevailed in 2015. With regard to healthcare provision, between 2013 and 2014 a general increase in expenditure relating to public care units was registered (0.7% vs. -0.3% in the same period). The private sector is expected to have increased by 2.5% from 2013 to 2014, after a sharp decrease of 4.1% in the same period. The Portuguese Insurance Association (APS) forecasts premiums of 618.7 million euros in sickness and 555.5 million euros in occupational accidents, which represents an increase of 6.7% and 7.7% in comparison with the same period, respectively, taking into account carried amounts in December. In comparison with the same period, the sickness insurance accident rate registered a slight decrease (of 0.6 p.p.) standing at 74.4% in December 2015. Occupational accidents registered a decrease of 4.5% in the accident rate, currently standing at 99.6%.

EBITDA registered an increase of 11.7% in comparison with the previous year, reaching 63.5 million euros and a margin of 11.3%, shown by the general increase in operational activity, operational efficiency gains and relative reduction of operating costs. Net income attributable to José de Mello Saúde shareholders totalled 21.9 million euros, driven by the very positive performance of EBITDA and by a reversal of provisions of 1.5 million euros established under the new CUF Tejo Hospital project. In 2015, other comprehensive income items were recorded, totalling 3.9 million euros, which were a result of the positive effect of the higher revaluation of property used by the CUF Infante Santo and Descobertas Hospitals for healthcare services and of the negative mark to market effect of contracted swaps. Consequently, consolidated comprehensive income amounted to 25.7 million euros, which further strengthened José de Mello Saúde’s equity. 53 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Consolidated statement of financial position (Million Euros) Non-current Assets Working Capital Shareholder Capital Net Debt Net Debt / EBITDA Operating Income by Segment Dec-14 Dec-15 204.0 (45.2) 53.1 102.0 1.8 226.5 (16.6) 77.6 128.6 2.0 José de Mello Saúde consolidated CAPEX was 40.1 million euros and was divided between property investment (23.4 million euros) and investment in construction and equipment (16.7 million euros).

The positive performance is noteworthy when compared to the previous year for activity across all healthcare areas in both units. 54 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Results per segment EBIT Private Healthcare Public Healthcare Holdings and common services Other Activities Financial results 2014 Million € 34.8 39.9 3.0 (7.4) (0.8) Margin 2015 Million € Margin 6.8% 12.6% 1.4% -13.0% -14.4% 42.2 39.7 4.9 (4.8) 2.4 7.5% 11.3% 2.3% -7.1% 30.5% Var % 21.3% -0.6% 62.3% 35.2% 424.6% In the private segment, despite the significant increase in operating income in 2015, the EBIT decreased by 0.6% and its margin from 12.6% to 11.3% in comparison with the same period of the previous year. In the public sector, on the other hand, the continued focus on cost containment and maximisation of the installed capacity was remarkable. Which is reflected on EBIT margin improvement, from 1.4% to 2.3% in comparison with 2014, to 4.9 million euros. (Million Euros) 2014 2015 Var % Consolidated Financial Results Financial income Income/costs for Financial Assets Financial Costs (8.6) 1.7 0.3 (10.6) (10.4) 1.0 0.2 (11.7) -20.8% -39.5% -24.3% -10.1% The consolidated financial results decreased by 1.8 million euros in comparison with 2014, which is justified by the increase in financial costs at the same time as a decrease in financial income due to the reduction in rates in the various applications of José de Mello Saúde. The increase in financial costs is due to the impact recorded in 2015 of costs relating to the lease of the CUF Descobertas and Infante Santo Hospitals contracted at the end of 2014. Net income Good operational performance allowed to end 2015 with a consolidated net profit of 21.9 million euros, representing an increase of 34% over the same period in the previous year. Despite the units’ excellent operational performance, it should be noted that the net income for the year is influenced by non-recurring effects, with emphasis on extraordinary costs incurred from the reorganisation of human resources taking place during the year (1.2 million euros) and 55 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 extraordinary income (1.3 million euros) associated with turnover adjustments referring to 2014 at Braga Hospital. There was also a reversal of provisions (1.5 million euros) established for the new CUF Tejo Hospital project. Working capital evolved from 45.2 million to 16.6 million euros, explained by the increase in customer balances. The average receivables period increased 6.0 days compared to 2014. It should also be noted that the average payment period increased by 10.7 days, influenced by the increase of 11.2 million euros in the supplier balance in comparison with 2014. Equity recorded positive year-on-year growth of 24.5 million euros due to results for the year and comprehensive income.

Financial autonomy benefitted from the increase recorded in consolidated equity, reaching 17.0% in 2015 (12.4% in 2014). Despite the increase in the net financial debt, the debt-to-equity ratio decreased 4.6% compared to 2014, which was also due to the increase in equity. On the other hand, despite the positive performance of EBITDA, the increase in net debt had a negative impact on the financial leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA), which increased to 2.0x in 2015 (1.8 x in 2014). 56 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 1 Return on Equity (ROE)% 2 Financial Autonomy Net Financial Debt. million euros Net Financial Debt/EBITDA 3 D/D+E Ratio EBITDA/Financial Expenses 1 ROE 2014 2015 Var % 56.4% 12.4% 102.0 1.8 64.3% 5.4 38.6% 17.0% 128.6 2.0 61.3% 5.4 -31.6% 37.2% 26.1% 12.9% -4.6% 1.5% (n) = Net income (n) / Equity (n-1) 2 Financial 3 D/D+E Autonomy = Equity (n) / Assets (n) Ratio = Net Financial Debt / (Net Financial Debt + Equity) 57 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 6.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE ENTITY’S ACTIVITY José de Mello Saúde SA (“Company”) is a private Health entity with several units in Portugal. Its share capital is owned by José de Mello S.G.P.S., S.A. (65.85%), the Amélia da Silva de Mello Foundation (4.15%) and Farminveste – Investimentos, Participações e Gestão, S.A. (30%). Summary of the main accounting policies 2.1. Bases of preparation The financial statements of José de Mello Saúde SA were prepared according to Internacional Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), adopted by the European Union, and effective for years beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the International Accounting Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) and respective interpretations – IFRIC and SIC, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and Standing Interpretation Committee (SIC), respectively, are deemed to form part of those standards. Hereinafter, this set of standards and interpretations shall be generally referred to as “IFRS”. 2.1.1. New standards and interpretations applying in the 2015 financial year As a result of endorsement by the European Union (EU), the following issues, revisions, amendments, and improvements of Standards and Interpretations took effect from 1 January 2015: IFRIC 21 – Rates This interpretation is applicable to payments imposed by government entities, which are not covered by other standards, including fines and other penalties due to non-compliance with the law. The interpretation clarifies that: (i) a liability should be recognised when the activity triggering payment occurs as seen in the relevant law (ii) a gradual increase in responsibility must be made over time if the activity triggering payment also occurs over time according to the relevant law and (iii) if payment is only triggered when a minimum limit is reached, no liability should be recognised until such minimum is reached. 68 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Annual improvements for the 2011-2013 cycle These improvements involve clarification of aspects relating to IFRS 3 standards – Business combination, IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement and IAS 40 – Investment properties. Introduction of these interpretation and application of these standards had no relevant impact on the Group’s financial statements. 2.1.2. New standards and interpretations already issued but not yet mandatory New standards, amendments and interpretations now exist that have already been published but whose application is only mandatory for annual periods starting after 1 January 2016 and which the Group decided not to adopt ahead of time: a) Already endorsed by the European Union: Annual improvements for the 2010-2012 cycle These improvements involve clarification of aspects relating to standards IFRS 2 – Share-based payment, IFRS 3 – Business combinations, IFRS 8 – Operating segments, IAS 16 – Tangible fixed assets, IAS 38 – Intangible assets and IAS 24 – Related party disclosures. IAS 19 R – Employee benefits – Employee contributions This amendment is applicable to employee or third party contributions for defined benefit plans. It simplifies the accounting of contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, so that they are a fixed amount during the service period or an amount that depends on the employee’s age. Such contributions are henceforth recognised as a reduction in the cost of the service in the period in which it is supplied. IAS 16 and 41 – Plants generating agricultural products Amendments to IAS 16 – Tangible fixed assets and IAS 41 – Agriculture amend the former, which henceforth includes biological assets defined as plants generating agricultural products (e.g. fruit trees). Agriculture exemplified in plants generating agricultural products (e.g. fruit that grows on a tree) will remain a part of IAS 41. As a result of the amendments, plants producing agricultural products become subject to all recognition requirements and measures of IAS 16, including the choice between the cost and revaluation model. Government subsidies for these plants are henceforth accounted for under IAS 20 instead of IAS 41. IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements Amendments require an entity to enter into joint business arrangements, apply, according to its quota part, all business combination principles contained in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and other IFRS that do not interfere with IFRS 11 and disclose the corresponding information on business combinations required by such standards. Amendments are also applicable if the entity has contributed with a business deal when establishing a joint arrangement. If an additional share in a joint business arrangement is acquired, the share previously owned must not be remeasured if the operator maintains control. 69 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 IAS 16 and 38 – Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation The amendments clarify that the principle in the standards states that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, the ratio of revenue generated to total revenue expected to be generated cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. IAS 27 – Consolidated and separate financial statements The amendments reinstate the equity method as an accounting option for measuring investments in subsidiaries and associates in separate financial statements. The measurement options of IAS 27 to recognise investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are now: (i) cost, (ii) in accordance with IFRS 9 (or IAS 39) or (iii) equity method, whereby the same accounting should be applied for each category of investments. As a result, IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards to enable an entity adopting IFRS for the first time to use the equity method as the basis for preparing its separate financial statements and also enjoy the exemption applied to business combinations on initial measurement of investment. IAS 1 – Disclosure initiative This amendment introduces a set of indications and guidelines on Materiality, Information to be included in financial statements, Note Structure and Disclosure with a view to improving and simplifying disclosure in the context of current IFRS report requirements. Annual improvements for the 2012-2014 cycle These improvements involve clarification of aspects relating to standards IFRS 5 – Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued operations, IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: Disclosures issued, IAS 19 – Employee benefits and IAS 34 – Interim financial reporting. Despite being approved (endorsed) by the European Union, they were not adopted by the Group in the period ending on 31 December 2015 because their application was not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected in the financial statements resulting from the adoption of same. 70 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 b) Not yet endorsed by the European Union: The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not been approved (endorsed), by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements: Standard Effective Date • IFRS 9 Financial instruments 1st january 2018 • IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture 1st january 2016 • IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment entities: applying the consolidation exception 1st january 2016 • IFRS 14 Regulatory deferral accounts 1st january 2016 • IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with costumers 1st january 2017 Regarding the standards mentioned above that have not yet been enforced, the Group has still to determine all impacts arising from their application, whereby it chose not to adopt them ahead of time. However, no material effect is expected in the financial statements as a result of their adoption. 2.2. Main Accounting Policies Tangible Fixed Assets Tangible fixed assets are those used in the provision of services or administrative procedures. Tangible fixed assets are valued according to their respective acquisition cost, including all related costs, less accrued depreciation and impairment losses. Tangible assets are depreciated on a duodecimal basis by the straight-line method from the date on which they are available for use as intended, according to the following estimated useful lives, whereby the following rates are applicable: • Buildings and other constructions • Basic Equipment • Office Equipment 2015 2014 5% – 10% 14.28% - 33.33% 12.50% - 25% 5% – 10% 14.28% - 33.33% 12.50% - 25% 71 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Impairment of these assets is determined according to the criteria set forth in “Asset Impairment”. The gains or losses resulting from the sale or disposal of tangible fixed assets are determined as the difference between the sale price and net book value on the date of sale/disposal and are included in the Net Profits of the Period in the year in which the asset is derecognised. Assets acquired through a financial lease are depreciated using the same rates as other tangible fixed assets, that is, based on their respective useful lives. The residual value is considered null and void, whereby the depreciable value on which the depreciations incur coincides with the cost. Current maintenance and repair costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they occur. Tangible fixed assets in progress represent tangible assets still under construction, installation or development and are recorded at cost of acquisition or production, and only amortised when available for use. Intangible Assets Intangible Assets acquired separately are measured at their cost price on the date of initial recognition. The Cost of Intangible Assets acquired in a group of activities is their fair value on said date. Intangible assets generated internally, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and expenses are reflected in the Profit and Loss Statement and Other Comprehensive Income Statement in the year in which the expenses occurred. After initial recognition, Intangible Assets are recorded at cost price less accrued amortisations and losses due to subsequent impairment. Useful lives of Intangible Assets may be finite or indefinite. Intangible Assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but undergo annual impairment tests irrespective of whether there are indicators that may be impaired. Intangible Assets with finite useful lives are amortised during their estimated economic life and evaluated with regard to their impairment whenever there are signs that the asset may be impaired. Impairment of these assets is determined according to the criteria set forth in “Asset Impairment” Reversals of impairment are recognised in results and only performed up to the limit verified if the impairment had never been recorded. For an Intangible Asset with a finite useful life, amortisation methods, estimated useful life and residual value are revised at the end of each year and the effects of changes made are treated as changes to estimates, or rather, prospectively. Amortisations are calculated on a duodecimal basis using the straight-line method. The residual value is considered null and void, whereby the depreciable value on which the depreciations incur coincides with the cost. Amortisation rates are defined with a view to the full amortisation of 72 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 ted. However, if signs of impairment are detected, Financial Investments are subjected to impairment tests. assets until the end of their expected useful life and are as follows: • Software 2015 2014 25% 25% Expenditure incurred from amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised in the Income and Other Comprehensive Income Statement under the item Depreciation and Amortisation Expenditure/Reversals. The gains or losses resulting from the sale or disposal of tangible fixed assets are determined as the difference between the sale price and net book value on the date of sale/disposal and are included in the Net Profits of the Period in the year in which the asset is derecognised. Investments in Subsidiaries and Affiliates Financial Investments of capital shares in Subsidiaries and Affiliates valued according to their respective cost on the IFRS transition date, or rather 1 January 2012. Capital share dividends are only recognised as income when their respective receipt is guaranteed and interest from bonds are accounted for in the period to which they are related. Goodwill in relation to the associate is included in the value of the financial investment and is not individually tes- Financial Assets (in addition to Financial Investments) Financial Assets are classified as follows, depending on whether or not the Board intends to acquire them: • Loans and Receivables- These include non-derivative Financial Assets, with fixed or determinable payments. Client, Other Receivables and Shareholders’ balances are recorded at fair value and, subsequently, at their amortised cost, which will be adjusted as a result of impairment tests, when required by Regulations, or when there are signs that these tests must be carried out. At the end of the year, the company evaluates the impairment of these assets. When there is objective evidence of impairment, the company recognises an impairment loss on the income statement. The following aspects were considered in the objective evidence showing that a financial asset is impaired: - Debtor’s significant financial difficulty, - Breach of contract, such as failure to pay or non-compliance with interest payments or debt amortisation; - Probability that the debtor will become bankrupt • Investments Held to Maturity – Investments held to maturity are classified as Non-Current Assets, unless they mature within 12 months of 73 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 the reporting date. Investment whose maturity is defined and which the Company has the intention and capacity to maintain until that date are recorded in this item. Investments Held to Maturity are recorded at the amortised cost, after deducting eventual impairment losses determined according to the provisions of “Asset Impairment”. • Investments Held for Negotiation valued at fair value through results – This category includes non-derivative Financial Assets held for negotiation and derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting purposes, which are presented as Current Assets. A Financial Asset is classified as held for negotiation if it is: - Acquired or incurred mainly for very short-term sale or repurchase purposes; - Part of a portfolio of financial instruments identified, which are jointly managed and for which there is evidence of recent real short -term profit taking; - A derivative (except for designated and efficacious hedge instruments). Gains or losses resulting from a change made to fair value of Investments valued using this method are recorded in the Income and other Comprehensive Income Statement for the period. • Financial Assets available for Sale – Investments Available for Sale are non-derivative Financial Assets that: - the Company intends to maintain for an indefinite period of time, or - are called this when they are acquired, or - do not fit into other Financial Asset classification categories. These Assets are presented as Non-Current Assets, unless they are to be sold within 12 months of the date of the report. Following initial recognition, Investments Available for sale are recognised for their fair value, based on their market value on their report date, without any deduction for transaction costs incurred until they are sold. Amortisation of assets in these conditions ceases when they are classified as held for sale. Investments not quoted and whose fair value cannot be reliably estimated are maintained at purchase cost, after deducting eventual impairment losses, determined according to the provisions of “Asset Impairment”. Gains or losses resulting from a change made to the fair value of Financial Investments Available for sale are recorded in Equity, under Other Reserves, until: - the Investment is sold, received or disposed of in any way, or - the fair value of the Investment is below its purchase cost and this corresponds to an impairment loss In any of these situations, the accrued gain or loss is recorded in the Income and Other Comprehensive Income Statement. 74 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Income tax Income tax for the period includes current and deferred costs from the financial year. Current income tax is calculated based on the taxable income in accordance with the tax rules in force to which the company is subjected. The Company is taxed according to the Special Corporate Group Tax Regime (RETGS). According to current legislation, tax returns are liable for review and correction by the Tax Authorities for a period of four years. Accordingly, the tax returns of the Group for the years 2011 to 2014 may still be reviewed, although the Company believes that any adjustments resulting from tax revisions to those tax documents will have no significant impact on the Financial Statements referring to 31 December 2014. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities The Company recognises Deferred Taxes, as established in IAS 12 – Income Tax, as a way of adequately accruing the tax effects of its operations, and to exclude distortions related to the criteria of a fiscal nature that impact on the economic results of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that future taxable profit may be achieved against which those assets can be deducted. Deferred tax assets are reviewed annually and reduced when it is no longer probable that they may be used. The value of deferred tax is determined by applying the tax rates (and laws) enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and which are expected to apply in the period of realisation of the Deferred Tax Asset. According to legislation in force, the corporate income tax rate of 21% is considered in Portugal, and a 1.5% municipal surtax, in situations not related to tax losses, on the temporary differences that gave rise to Deferred Tax Assets or Liabilities. Movement occurring during the year, reconciliation between the nominal tax and effective current tax rate as well as decomposition of Deferred Tax balances are presented in Note 12. Cash and Equivalents For the purpose of the Cash Flow Statement, the item “Cash and Equivalents” includes the values of “Cash” and “Bank Deposits”, included in the Statement of Financial Position, with a maturity of three months or less, and bank overdrafts included in “Loans Obtained”. Financial Liabilities Financial Liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contract, regardless of their legal form, as shown below: • Bank Loans – Loans are valued at their amortised cost and the amount received is net of issuing costs. Financial charges are calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method and accounted for in the Income and Other Comprehensive Income Statement, based on the financial year specialisation principle. • Suppliers and Other Accounts Payable – Balances of Suppliers and 75 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Other Accounts Payable are initially recorded for their nominal value, which corresponds to their fair value and, subsequently, when applicable, they are recorded at their amortised cost, in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Derivative Financial Instruments and hedge accounting The group’s policy is to contract derivative financial instruments for hedging of financial risks to which it is exposed, which are mainly due to interest rate variations. • Hedging Instruments – The possibility of calling a derivative financial instrument a hedging instrument complies with the provisions of IAS 39, namely, with regard to its respective documentation and effectiveness evaluation. Derivative financial instruments are recognised for their fair value on the date they are negotiated. Fair value is evaluated on a regular basis and resulting gains and losses recorded in the income statement, except cash flow hedging derivatives in which the variation is recognised in Equity (“Other Financial Instrument Reserves”). Accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument reaches maturity or is sold, or when the hedging relationship ceases to comply with the requirements of IAS 39. Provisions Provisions are established when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past actions, when economic resources may probably be used to meet this obligation and this may be measured reliably. Provisions are measured according to the best estimate of expenditure required for settling the present obligation on the balance sheet date. Equity Items Equity items are as follows: • Realised Capital – In compliance with art. 272 of the Commercial Companies Code (CSC), the company contract indicates the deadline for realising capital subscribed and not realised on the date the deed is signed. • Other Equity Instruments – Equity Instruments are classified in accordance with contract substance, irrespective of their legal form. Equity Instruments issued by the Entity are recorded at their received value, net of issuing costs. • Legal Reserves – In accordance with art. 295 of the CSC, at least 5% of the result must be used for establishing or strengthening the legal reserve until it represents under 20% of the company’s equity. The legal reserve can only be distributed in situations of liquidation and may only be used to cover losses, after all other reserves have been used, or for incorporation in equity (art. 296 of the CSC). • Hedging Operation Reserve – This account includes fair value adjust- 76 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 ments in financial assets like changes made to the fair value of hedging derivatives of interest rate, exchange rate, merchandise price risks under a commitment or high probability of future transactions. In accordance with point 2, art. 32 of the CSC, they will only be available for distribution when the elements or rights giving rise to them are disposed of, exercised, eliminated or settled. • Retained Earnings – This item includes the realised results available for distribution to shareholders and gains from increases in fair value, financial investments and investment properties that, in accordance with point 2, art. 32 of the CSC, will only be available for distribution when the elements or rights giving rise to them are disposed of, exercised, eliminated or settled. • Net Profit for the Year – This item includes gains from increases in fair value, financial investments and investment properties that, in accordance with point 2, art. 32 of the CSC, will only be available for distribution when the elements or rights giving rise to them are disposed of, exercised, eliminated or settled. Recognition of income Income is recognised as such when it is likely that the Company will receive economic benefits that can be evaluated reliably. For income to be recognised, the following criteria must also be complied with in full: • Service Supply – Service supply is measured for the fair value of the amount received or receivable less the sums relating to discounts granted. Income from services supplied is recognised when the outcome of the transaction may be estimated reliably, which occurs when the following conditions are met: - The amount of income can be measured reliably; - Economic benefits from the transaction are probably received by the company; - Costs incurred from the transaction and from its completion can be measured reliably. • Interest – Income from interest receivable is specialised, so that it is recognised in the period to which it is related, regardless of whether or not the respective support document is issued; • Dividends – This income is recognised when, in substance, the obligation to declare Dividends is established at the declaring Entity. Asset Impairment The Companies evaluates, on each port date, whether or not there are signs of impairment of its assets. If there are, or when IFRS require the performance of impairment tests, the Company estimates the recoverable value of the asset in question, which corresponds to the highest realisable amount, after deducting eventual selling costs, or to its usage value. If impairment is detected, the value of the asset is reduced to reflect its recoverable value. 77 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Contingent Assets and Liabilities Contingent Liabilities are not recognised in Financial Statements but disclosed in these Notes, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources is remote, in which case they are not subject to disclosure. Contingent Assets are not recognised and only disclosed in circumstances embodying future economic benefits. Subsequent Events Events occurring after the report date that provide additional information on conditions existing on the date of issue of the Statement of the Financial Position are shown in financial statements. Events occurring after the report date that provide additional information on conditions existing on the date of issue of the Statement of the Financial Position are disclosed in Notes to financial statements, if material. 2.3. Management Judgements When preparing financial statements according to IFRS, the Board of Directors uses estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts. Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on experience from past events and other factors, including expectations for future events considered probable in view of the circumstances on which the estimates are based, or on results from information or experience acquired. The most significant accounting experiences shown in financial statements are as follows: • Valuation and useful life of Tangible and Intangible Assets – The Company used different assumptions when estimating future cash flow from Tangible and Intangible Assets acquired as part of Entity purchase processes, including the estimate for future income, discount rates and useful life of the aforementioned assets. • Recognition of Provisions and Adjustments – The Company takes part in different legal procedures in progress for which it judges whether or not a provision should be recorded for these contingencies based on the opinion of its Attorneys. Adjustments to Accounts Receivable are basically calculated based on the seniority of Accounts Receivable entries, the entity’s risk profile and respective financial situation. Estimates relating to adjustments for Accounts Receivable differ from business to business. • Determining the market value of Financial Instruments – The Company chooses the evaluation method it considers appropriate for determining the market value of Financial Instruments not quoted on an active market, based on its best knowledge of the market and assets, implementing customary market evaluation techniques and using assumptions based on market rates. 78 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 4.

On the other hand, the Company did not voluntarily make any change to the accounting policy during the current year. With regard to accounting estimates, no change was made in the current or future periods. With the exception of the following paragraph, no errors or omissions from previous periods were detected in the current year. In January 2016, José de Mello Saúde took out a lifelong income insurance policy on its behalf that allows for compliance with a contract existing since the year 2000, where it took responsibility for guaranteeing lifelong income payments to an employee who reached Social Security retirement age on 1 January 2016. The commercial premium paid on 28 January 2016 to the Fidelidade insurance company amounted to 2,504,321.78 euros. The Board of Directors believes that the aforementioned contract was not duly recognised in previous year Financial Statements, which resulted in correction of the negative impact in retained earnings in the amount of 1,770,717.60 euros. Therefore, as the aforementioned expense was not recognised at the appropriate time, comparisons are re-expressed in accordance with IAS 19, as follows: 79 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Details of adjustments to equity on 1 January 2014 Effect of re-expression on 1 January 2014 Disclosed Amount Assets effect on 1 January 2014 Deferred Taxes Total Assets on 1 January 2014 3,164,690 3,164,690 Restated Effect of Amount Restatement 3,700,311 535,621 3,700,311 535,621 01-01-2014 Equity Retirement Benefits Recognition Deferred Taxes 2,186,210 (535,621) 1,650,588 Effect of re-expression on 31 December 2014 Equity Effect on 1 January 2014 Earnings (2,375,129) (4,025,718) (1,650,588) Total Equity on 1 January 2014 (2,375,129) (4,025,718) (1,650,588) Liability Effect on 1 January 2014 Other payables 741,811 2,928,021 2,186,210 Total Liability on 1 January 2014 741,811 2,928,021 2,186,210 The amount of Equity disclosed on 1 January 2014 includes application of the 2013 Net Profit.

Plain vanilla swaps were contracted in May, June and July 2015 to reduce the risk of exposure to interest rate variations, which cover 100% of the debenture loans emitted in June 2014 and May 2015 (100 million euros in all). Swaps contracted respect the characteristics of the aforementioned loans emitted so that they may be considered hedge products (same indexer, same interest period and payment deadlines). On the interest payment date, the Company receives interest indexed to Euribor six months for 100% of the debenture capital and pays interest at a fixed rate on the same amount. On 31 December 2014 and 2015, the company had contracted the following financial derivative instruments: The figure recognised in this item refers to six swap interest rate contracts signed by the company to cover the risk of interest fluctuation. 2015 2014 Asset Current Non-Current Current Liability Non-Current Asset Current Non-Current Current Liability Non-Current Derived designated as cash flow coverage Swap interest tax - - - 1,487,808 - - - Total of derived assets/liabilities - - - 1,487,808 - - - - 91 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Characteristics of financial derivative instruments contracted in relation to financing operations on 31 December 2014 and 2015 were as follows: Fair Value Derived designated as cash flow coverage Swap’s investment tax Swap 13121-001 Swap 13136-001 Swap 13121-002 Swap 13137-001 Swap 13152-001 Swap 13153-001 National Currency 25,000,000 12,500,000 25,000,000 12,500,000 12,500,000 12,500,000 Eur Eur Eur Eur Eur Eur Economic Goal Maturity Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Bond issue of cash-flow coverage Jun-19 Jun-19 May-21 May-21 May-21 Jun-19 2015 (346,194) (158,448) (454,049) (273,507) (154,873) (100,737) (1,487,808) 2014 0 Cash flows are paid and received from hedging derivative instruments every six months: Ref, Trade date Effective date Termination date National Amount 13121-001 13121-002 19-05-2015 21-05-2015 09-06-2019 25,000,000 19-05-2015 21-05-2015 17-05-2021 25,000,000 SWAP’S 13136-001 23-06-2015 25-06-2015 09-06-2019 12,500,000 13137-001 13152-001 13153-001 23-06-2015 25-06-2015 17-05-2021 12,500,000 30-07-2015 31-07-2015 17-05-2021 12,500,000 30-07-2015 31-07-2015 09-06-2019 12,500,000 92 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 • Cash Flow Hedging – The Company hedges an instalment of future interest payments on bond issues, through the allocation of interest rate Swaps in which a fixed rate is paid and a variable rate received, with a notional of 100,000 euros. This is an interest rate risk hedge related to payments of interest at a variable rate arising from recognised financial liabilities. The hedged risk is the variable rate indexer to which interest on loans is associated. The aim of this hedge is to transform variable interest rate loans into a fixed interest rate. The fair value of interest rate Swaps on 31 December 2015 is - 1,487,808 euros Loans Obtained Non-Current and Current “Loans Obtained” are discriminated as follows: Non-current Obtained Financings Bank Loans Novo Banco Finance leases Debenture Loans Commercial paper Current Obtained Financings Bank Loans Novo Banco Finance leases Bank overdrafts Commercial paper 2015 2014 3,286,163 99,209,064 102,495,227 1,967,982 1,450,709 49,559,952 6,285,714 59,264,357 1,045,272 4,500,000 5,545,272 700,370 567,705 351,521 8,164,286 9,783,881 93 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 The increase in loans obtained is justified by the issue, in May 2015, of a new debenture loan in the amount of 50 million euros, for five years, at an interest rate indexed to Euribor six months plus 2.95%. They were issued to institutional investors and 20% went to international investors. Admission to trading was requested on the regulated markets of Euronext Lisbon and Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

When developing its current activities, the Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks likely to alter its asset value, which may be grouped together into the following categories according to type: - Market risk - Interest rate risk - Exchange rate risk - Other price risks - Credit risk - Liquidity risk Management of the aforementioned risks – risks occurring mainly due to the unpredictability of financial markets – requires careful application of a set of rules and methods approved by the Board, whose ultimate objective is to minimise their potential negative impact on the Company’s asset value and performance. All management is therefore focused on two main concerns: - To reduce fluctuations in results and cash flow subject to risk situations, whenever possible; - Limit deviations in view of projected results through strict financial planning based on multi-annual budgets. As a rule, Spain does not assume speculative positions, whereby transactions performed in relation to financial risk management are aimed at controlling already-existing risks to which the Company is exposed. The Board defined risk management principles as a whole and policies covering specific areas like foreign exchange, interest rate, liquidity and credit risks as well as those posed by the use of derivative financial instruments and investment of surplus liquidity. Financial risk management – including their identification and evaluation – is conducted by the Finance Department in accordance with policies approved by the Board. Interest rate risk Interest rate risks are the risk of the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument varying due to changes in market interest rates, thereby altering the Company’s Asset Value. The Company’s exposure to the interest rate risk stems from the existence of financial assets and liabilities contracted at the fixed or variable rate. In the first case, the Company faces a risk of variation of the “fair value” of these assets or liabilities when any change to market rates involves an opportunity cost (positive or negative). In the second case, such change has a direct impact on the amount of interest received/paid, thus causing cash variations. 95 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 The Company’s aim is to maintain a varied portfolio of loans granted and obtained from fixed and variable interest rates in order to manage the interest rate risk. Credit risk The credit risk is the risk of a counterparty failing to comply with its obligations under the cover of a financial instrument, thus resulting in a loss. The Company is subject to a credit risk regarding the following activities: -Operating Activity – Clients, Suppliers and Other Accounts Receiva ble and Payable; - Financing activities – Loans Obtained. Credit risk management for Clients and other Accounts Receivable is carried out as follows: - Following policies, procedures and controls established by the Company; - Credit limits are established for all clients based on internal evalua tion criteria; - Each client’s credit quality is evaluated based on credit notes supplied by external specialised entities; - Amounts owed are regularly monitored and supplies to major clients are normally covered by guarantees. 9. government and other public entities Accounts belonging to the Government and Other Public Entities show the following breakdown: Balance Receivable Income Tax VAT Balance Payable Income Tax Withholdings Social Insurance Contribution 2015 2014 6,208,396 435,869 6,644,265 6,939,160 230,281 7,169,441 17,212 12,623 29,835 19,175 11,628 30,803 96 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 10. leases FINANCIAL LEASES The Company has financial lease contracts for several items from its Tangible Fixed Assets, included in the Statement of the Financial Position.

Board of Auditors’ Report and Opinion 2015 Dear Shareholders, We would like to present you with the Report and Opinion on the individual and consolidated accounts and the individual and consolidated management report for José de Mello Saúde, S.A., for the year ending on 31 December 2015. During the financial year and as part of our appointed duties, we carried out, with satisfactory results and with the frequency and extent deemed most adequate, a general audit of all accounting procedures, as well as surveys of their corresponding records and other probative elements. With regard to internal controls and risk assessment, the Audit Board regularly interacted with several of the company’s departments, such as internal audit board, financial management, strategic planning, management and innovation control and organisational development and quality, where it obtained all explanations and reassurance considered necessary. We positively report the marked improvement in the net worth of the company either in individual or in consolidated terms. Also worthy of mention is the increase in the company’s balance sheet to over 478 million euros, which was partly due to the increase in the consolidation perimeter through the purchase of an hospital in Santarém. The gross debt decreased 10.1 million euros in comparison with 2014, which is justified by reimbursement of consolidated mutual benefits from Novo Banco and partial amortisation of real estate leases held by Imo Health. Despite the reduction of the gross debt, the net debt increased by 26.6 million euros due to the purchase of land for the new Hospital in Lisbon and the Santarém Hospital, which implied a reduction in cash. The financial leverage ratio, namely D/EBITDA, increased to 2.0x (1.8x in 2014). Financial autonomy increased to 17.0% in comparison with 2014 due to the reinforcement of consolidated equity. The report of Board of Directors explains the orientation of the policy followed by the Company during the year as well as the activities proposed for 2016. The Financial Position Statement, Income and Other Comprehensive Income Statements, Changes in Equity Statement, Cash Flow Statement and respective Annex comply with legal requirements, and show the position of accounting records at the end of the year as well as the Company’s financial position. 109 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 As required from us, we verified the terms of the Legal Certification of Accounts, issued by the Statutory Auditor, and concluded that its content merits our agreement. On this basis, we understand that the documents mentioned above, when read as a whole, provide us with a good understanding of the financial situation of José de Mello Saúde, S.A. on 31 December 2015, and satisfy legal and statutory provisions.

The Chartered Accountant | The Board of Directors 119 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 8.2. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES on 31 December 2015 The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis from the accounting books and records of the companies included in the consolidation (Note 3), adjusted in the consolidation process, when necessary, in order to agree with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) adopted by the European Union and effective for years beginning on 1 January 2015. The IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (“IASC”) and respective interpretations – IFRIC and SIC, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (“IFRIC”) and Standing Interpretation Committee (“SIC”), respectively, are deemed to form part of those standards. Hereinafter, this set of standards and interpretations shall be generally referred to as “IFRS”. (Amounts in euros) 1. INTRODUCTION José de Mello Saúde, S.A. (“Company” or “JMS”) has its registered office in Lisbon. It was incorporated in December 1992 with the core business of the provision of healthcare, particularly in the area of private healthcare, public-private partnerships, the provision of services in the area of medicine, occupational health and hygiene, and also providing home-based healthcare. The corporate universe of JMS (“Group” or “JMS Group”) is formed of the subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities described in Note 3. The Company’s share capital, as stated in Note 27, is majority-owned by José de Mello, SGPS, S.A. its parent company that publishes consolidated financial statements complying with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and, consequently, the operations and transactions of JMS Group (Note 40) are influenced by the decisions of the José de Mello Group. 2.1. Basis of presentation 2.1.1. New standards and interpretations applying in the 2014 financial year As a result of endorsement by the European Union (EU), the following issues, revisions, amendments, and improvements of Standards and Interpretations took effect from 1 January 2015: 120 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 IFRIC 21 – Rates This interpretation is applicable to payments imposed by government entities, which are not covered by other standards, including fines and other penalties due to non-compliance with the law. The interpretation clarifies that: (i) a liability should be recognised when the activity triggering payment occurs as seen in the relevant law (ii) a gradual increase in responsibility must be made over time if the activity triggering payment also occurs over time according to the relevant law and (iii) if payment is only triggered when a minimum limit is reached, no liability should be recognised until such minimum is reached. Annual improvements for the 2011-2013 cycle These improvements involve clarification of some aspects related to |Standards IFRS 3 – Business combinations (it updates the exception regarding the application of the standard to “Joint Agreements” and clarifies that also “Joint Transactions” not just “Joint Ventures” are outside the scope of IFRS 3 Standards. This exclusion only refers to the accounting of the contractual agreement in the financial statements of the Joint agreement itself), IFRS 13 – Fair value measurement (it amends paragraph 52 in the sense that if the exception applicable to the portfolio starts to include other contracts within the scope, or rather, accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 or IFRS 9, irrespective of whether or not they satisfy the definition of financial assets or liabilities under the terms of IAS 32) and IAS 40 – Investment properties (it clarifies that, in light of IFRS 3, it must be determined whether a given transaction is a business combination or purchase of assets rather than the description provided in IAS 40 with regard to support services. This description allows a property to be classified as investment or occupied by the owner). 2.1.2 New standards and interpretations already issued but not yet effective There are new standards, interpretations and amendments of existing standards, despite having already been published, they are only mandatory for the periods starting after 1 January 2016, which the Group decided not to early adopt in the current period, as follows: a) Already endorsed by European Union: Annual improvements for the 2010-2012 cycle These improvements involve the clarification of some aspects related to IFRS 2 – Shared-based payment, IFRS 3 – Business combinations, IFRS 8 – Operating segments, IAS 16 – Tangible fixed assets, IAS 38 – Intangible assets and IAS 24 – Related party disclosures. IAS 19 R – Employee benefits – Employee contributions This amendment is applicable to employee or third party contributions for defined benefit plans. It simplifies the accounting of contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, so that they are a fixed amount during the service period or an amount that depends on the employee’s age. Such contributions are henceforth recognised as a reduction in the cost of the service in the period in which it is supplied. 121 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 IAS 16 and IAS 41 – Plants producing agricultural products Amendments to IAS 16 – Tangible fixed assets and IAS 41 – Agriculture amend the former, which henceforth includes biological assets defined as plants generating agricultural products (e.g. fruit trees). Agriculture exemplified in plants generating agricultural products (e.g. fruit that grows on a tree) will remain a part of IAS 41. As a result of the amendments, plants producing agricultural products become subject to all recognition requirements and measures of IAS 16, including the choice between the cost and revaluation model. Government subsidies for these plants are henceforth accounted for under IAS 20 instead of IAS 41. IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements Amendments require an entity to enter into joint business arrangements, apply, according to its quota part, all business combination principles contained in IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and other IFRS that do not interfere with IFRS 11 and disclose the corresponding information on business combinations required by such standards. Amendments are also applicable if the entity has contributed with a business deal when establishing a joint arrangement. If an additional share in a joint business arrangement is acquired, the share previously owned must not be remeasured if the operator maintains control. IAS 16 and IAS 38 – Clarification of methods used to calculate permitted depreciation and amortisation The amendments clarify that the principle in the standards states that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, the ratio of revenue generated to total revenue expected to be generated cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. IAS 27 – Consolidated and separate financial statements The amendments reinstate the equity method as an accounting option for measuring investments in subsidiaries and associates in separate financial statements. The measurement options of IAS 27 to recognise investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are now: (i) cost, (ii) in accordance with IFRS 9 (or IAS 39) or (iii) equity method, whereby the same accounting should be applied for each category of investments. As a result, IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards to enable an entity adopting IFRS for the first time to use the equity method as the basis for preparing its separate financial statements and also enjoy the exemption applied to business combinations on initial measurement of investment. IAS 1 – Disclosure initiative This amendment introduces a set of indications and guidelines on Materiality, Information to be included in financial statements, Note Structure and Disclosure with a view to improving and simplifying disclosure in the 122 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 context of current IFRS report requirements. Annual improvements for the 2012-2014 cycle These improvements involve the clarification of some aspects related to IFRS 5 – Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, IFRS 7 – Financial instruments: Disclosures, IAS 19 – Employee benefits and IAS 34 – Interim financial Reporting standard. These standards, although approved (“endorsed”) by the European Union, were not adopted by the company for the period ended at 31 December 2015, because its applications is not yet mandatory. No significant impacts are expected in the financial statements resulting from the adoption of the standards. There are no standards already endorsed that only become effective after 2016 and whose early application is not permitted. b) Not yet endorsed by the European Union: The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have not been approved (“endorsed”), by the European Union, at the date of approval of these financial statements: Standard Effective date • IFRS 9 Financial instruments 1 January 2018 • IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sales or contributions of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture 1 January 2016 • IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment entities: applying the consolidation exception 1 January 2016 • IFRS 14 Regulatory deferral accounts 1 January 2016 • IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers 1 January 2017 Up to the date of issuing this report, the Group had not yet concluded the estimate of the effects of changes arising from the adoption of these standards, for which it decided not to early-adopt them. However, no material effect is expected in the financial statements as a result of their adoption. 123 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 2.2. Changes in accounting policies During the year ending on 31 December 2015, no voluntary changes occurred to accounting policies, in relation to those considered when preparing financial information for 2014. tions used in the valuation of deferred taxes, valuation of goodwill and useful lives of tangible, intangible assets and investments. 2.3. Critical judgments/estimates With the exception of the following paragraph, no errors or omissions from previous periods were detected in the current year. Those estimates are based on the best knowledge available at any time and on the actions that are planned, and they are constantly revised based on the available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may lead to the revision of estimates, so the actual results in the future may differ from those estimates. In January 2016, JMS took out a lifelong income insurance policy on its behalf that allows for compliance with a contract existing since the year 2000, where it took responsibility for guaranteeing lifelong income payments to an employee who reached Social Security retirement age on 1 January 2016. The commercial premium paid on 28 January 2016 to the Fidelidade insurance company amounted to 2,504,322 euros. The Board of Directors believes that the aforementioned contract was not duly recognised in previous year Financial Statements, which resulted in correction of the negative impact in retained earnings in the amount of 1,770,718 euros. Therefore, as the aforementioned expense was not recognised at the appropriate time, comparisons are restated in accordance with IAS 19, as follows: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the principles of recognition and measurement of IFRS requires that the Board of Directors make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of assets and liabilities presented, in particular amortisation and depreciation, adjustments, impairment losses and provisions, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the income and expenses. Significant estimates and assumptions made by the Board of Directors in preparing these financial statements include, in particular, the assump- 124 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Effect of restatement at 1 January 2014 Detail of adjustments made to equity at 1 January 2014 Realeased Restated Impact of Amount Amount Restatement Impact on assets at 1 January 2014 Deferred tax assets 4,341,701 4,877,322 535,621 Total assets at 1 January 2014 4,341,701 4,877,322 535,621 01-01-2014 Recognition of Retirement Benefits Deferred Tax 2,186,210 (535,621) 1,650,588 Effect of restatement at 31 December 2014 Impact on equity at 1 January 2014 Other reserves and retained earnings (43,260,004) (44,910,593) (1,650,588) Total equity at 1 January 2014 (43,260,004) (44,910,593) (1,650,588) Impact on liabilities at 1 January 2014 Other current creditors 4,664,400 6,850,610 2,186,210 Total liabilities at 1 January 2014 4,664,400 6,850,610 2,186,210 The amount of Equity disclosed on 1 January 2014 includes application of the 2013 Consolidated net profit.

Control is considered to exist when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns as a result of its involvement with the subsidiary company and it has the capacity to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary company (i.e., rights that currently give it the capacity to manage the relevant activities of the subsidiary company). Third party participation in equity and net income of such companies is reported separately on the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated income statement, respectively, under the “Non-controlling interests” items. When the losses attributable to non-controlling interests exceed the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary’s equity, the Group absorbs that excess and any further losses, except when the non-controlling interests have an obligation to and are capable of covering such losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, the Group appropriates all the profits until the minority share of losses previously absorbed by the Group has been recovered. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition to the date of their disposal. 126 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Significant transactions and balances between controlled companies were eliminated in the consolidation. Capital gains arising from the disposal of subsidiaries to within the Group are also eliminated. Whenever necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of controlled companies in order to standardise the respective accounting policies with those of the Group. In situations where the Group has, in substance, control over other entities created for a special purpose, even if it has no direct shareholdings in these entities, these are consolidated by the full consolidation method. b) Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations, in particular the acquisition of subsidiaries, are recorded using the purchase method. The acquisition cost corresponds to the sum of fair values, at the transaction date, of the assets obtained, the liabilities incurred or taken on, and equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary that meet the recognition criteria of IFRS 3 are measured at fair value on the acquisition date, except for non-current assets (or asset groups) that are classified as held for sale. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is recorded as an asset and is not amortized. It is reported separately on the statement of financial position. The goodwill values are annually subject to impairment tests, or whenever there are indications of loss of value. Any impairment loss is immediately recognised as an expense on the income statement of the period and it cannot be subsequently reversed. Where the cost of acquisition may be less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets, the difference is recorded as a gain in the income statement of the period in which the acquisition occurs. On disposal of a subsidiary, the related goodwill is included in determining the capital gain or loss. The interests of shareholders who are not controlled are presented according to their proportion of the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities. c) Investments in associates An associate is an entity over which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to join in decisions on operational and financial policies but it is not control or joint control, as defined in the point a) above. Those investments (Notes 3.2 and 18) are accounted for using the equity method, except when they are classified as held for sale, which is when they are initially recorded at the acquisition cost, plus or minus the difference between that cost and the value of the equity of those companies proportionally held, as at the acquisition date or the date of first application of the equity method. Goodwill in relation to the associate is included in the value of the financial investment and is not individually tested. 127 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 According to the equity method, investments are periodically adjusted, for the amount corresponding to the shareholding in the profits of associates, under gains or losses in associates (Note 11), and for other changes in their equity, under other reserves, as well as through the recognition of impairment losses. Losses in associates in excess of the investment in these entities are not recognised, unless the Group has made commitments to that associate. Moreover, dividends received from these companies are recorded as a reduction in the value of the investment. Unrealised gains on transactions with associates are eliminated in proportion to the Group’s interest in the associate, reported against the investment in that associate. Unrealised losses are similarly eliminated but only to the extent that the loss does not show that the transferred asset is in a situation of impairment. 2.5. Revenue and accruals Revenue from sales is recognised on the income statement when the following conditions are met: - The Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; -The Group does not retain continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; -The amount of revenue can be reliably measured; -It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transac- tion flow to the Group; -The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction may be reliably measured. The sales are recognised net of taxes, discounts and other costs incurred to realize the fair value of the amount received or receivable. The income arising from services rendered is recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are provided. Interest and financial income are recognised in accordance with the principle of accruals and according to the effective interest rate applying. Costs and income are accounted for in the period to which they relate, regardless of the date of payment or receipt. Costs and income for which the actual amounts are not known are estimated. Costs and income imputable to the current period and which have expenses and revenues that will only occur in future periods, as well as expenses and revenues that have already occurred, but which relate to future periods and which will be attributed to the profit/loss of each of those periods in the corresponding value, are recorded under the Other current assets and Other current liabilities items. 128 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 2.6. Operating profit The results of operations include all costs and income from operations, whether recurring or not, including those related to restructuring and tangible and intangible assets. They also include gains or losses obtained in the sale of companies consolidated using the full consolidation method. Hence, net financing costs, profits obtained from associates and other financial investments, and income taxes are excluded from the operating profit. 2.7. Financing costs Borrowing costs are recognised on the income statement of the period in which they occur. The financial charges on borrowings directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of tangible fixed assets that take a substantial period of time to be prepared for the intended use are capitalized, forming part of the cost of the asset. The capitalisation of these expenses begins after the start of preparation of the construction activities or development of the asset and is interrupted after the start of the use or end of production or construction of the asset or over periods in which development of the asset is interrupted. Any income generated by borrowings obtained in advance and which may be allocated to a specific investment is deducted from the financial costs eligible for capitalisation. 2.8. Income tax Income tax for the period is calculated based on the taxable results of the companies included in the consolidation and it considers deferred taxation. The current income tax 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 registered office of each Group company. According to current legislation, tax returns are liable for review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (five to ten years for Social Security, depending on the application of the transition scheme). Accordingly, the tax returns of the Group for the years 2012 to 2015 may still be reviewed, although the Company believes that any adjustments resulting from tax revisions to those tax documents will have no significant impact on the referred financial statements as at 31 December 2015. The Group recognises deferred taxes in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 – Income Taxes, as a way of adequately accruing the tax effects of its operations, and to exclude distortions related to the criteria of a fiscal nature that impact on the economic results of certain transactions. Deferred tax assets are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that future taxable profit may be achieved against which those assets can be deducted. Deferred tax assets are reviewed annually and reduced when it is no longer probable that they may be used. The value of deferred tax is determined by applying the tax rates (and laws) enacted or substan- 129 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 tively enacted at the reporting date and which are expected to apply in the period of realisation of the Deferred Tax Asset. According to legislation in force, the corporate income tax rate of 21% is considered in Portugal, and a 1.5% municipal surtax, in situations not related to tax losses, on the temporary differences that gave rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities. 2.9. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation during the period. The diluted income per share is equal to the basic income as there is no interest on convertible preference shares nor options on shares. 2.10. Intangible assets, excluding goodwill Intangible assets (excluding goodwill) basically comprise the expenses incurred in specific projects with future economic value and are recorded at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Intangible assets are only recognised if it is probable that they will result in future economic benefits for the Group, are controlled by the Group, are identifiable and their value can be reliably measured. Amortisation is calculated after the start of use of the goods, by the straight-line method in accordance with the period of estimated useful life for the group. Intangible assets for which the existence of a limited period of future economic benefits cannot be envisaged are called intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. These assets are not amortized but undergo annual impairment tests. Even concession rights are reflected under this item, corresponding to the right of management and operation of hospitals under the Public-Private Partnership arrangement. The amortisation is performed for the period stipulated in the contracts (10 years). In accordance with the provision in the IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements, an intangible is also recorded under this item corresponding to the stipulated total estimated value for investments expected until the end of the management and operation contract for Vila Franca de Xira Hospital, arising from the obligations laid down in Annex V of that contract. This asset is to be amortised for the remainder of the contract. 2.11. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets used in production, the provision of services or for administrative purposes are recorded at the cost of acquisition or production, including expenses imputable to the acquisition, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, where applicable. The premises assigned to healthcare services are carried at the revalued amount, which is their fair value at the date of revaluation. Evaluation of 130 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 these Properties on 31 December 2015 was carried out by an independent specialised company – Ktesios Appraisal – Consultoria e Avaliação Imobiliária, Lda. Tangible assets are depreciated by the straight-line method from the date on which they are available for use as the intended use, according to the following estimated useful lives: truction/development and are registered at cost of acquisition or production, less any impairment losses. These assets are depreciated from the time they are able to be used for their intended purpose. The gains or losses resulting from the sale or disposal of tangible fixed assets are determined as the difference between the sale price and net book value on the date of sale/disposal. They are recorded at net value on the income statement under other operating income or other operating costs. Years of useful life • Buildings and other constructions • Basic equipment • Transport equipment • Office equipment • Other tangible fixed assets 10-20 3-14 4 4-8 4-8 The depreciable amount of tangible fixed assets does not include the residual value estimated at the end of their useful lives, except in cases where it is estimated to be immaterial or uncertainty exists as to its realisation. Moreover, the depreciation ceases when the assets are classified as held for sale. Improvements are only recognised as assets where it is demonstrated that these increase their useful life or increase their normal efficiency, resulting in increased future economic benefits. Tangible fixed assets in progress represent tangible assets still under cons- 2.12. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets (or discontinued operations) are classified as held for sale if their value is realisable through a sale transaction rather than through their continued use. This situation is considered to occur only when: (i) the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (ii) the management is committed to a sales plan; and (iii) it is expected that the sale will take place within a period of twelve months. Non-current assets (or discontinued operations) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of book value and fair value, less costs to bear in future sales. 2.13. Impairment of non-current assets, excluding goodwill An assessment of impairment is performed whenever an event or changes in circumstances are identified that indicate the carrying amount at which an asset is recorded may not be recoverable. If such indications 131 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 exist, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset in order to ascertain any possible extension of the impairment loss. In situations where the asset does not individually generate cash flows in a manner independent from other assets, the estimated recoverable amount is made for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are subject to annual impairment tests or whenever it appears that there is evidence that such exists. Whenever the amount at which the asset is recorded is higher than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognised, recorded under the Provisions and impairment losses item. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net sale price (sale price less selling costs) and the value in use. The net sale price is the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in a transaction between knowledgeable and independent entities, less the costs directly attributable to the disposal. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows arising from the continued use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. The recoverable amount is estimated individually for each asset or, if this is not possible, for the generating unit of cash flows to which the asset belongs. The reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there are indications that the impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal of impairment losses is recognised under Reversal of amortisation and adjustments. However, the reversal of the impairment loss is done up to the amount that would be recognized (net of amortisation or depreciation) if the impairment loss had not been recognised in prior years. 2.14. Inventories Goods and raw materials and consumables are valued at cost which is lower than their market value, using average cost as the costing method. Whenever their net realisable value (sale price estimated in the ordinary course of business, less respective sales costs) is less than the cost of acquisition, the value of inventories is reduced, which is restored when the reasons that led to such cease to exist. 2.15. Leasing Lease contracts are classified as: (i) finance leases if all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are substantially transferred through these; and (ii) operating leases if all the risks and rewards of their ownership are not substantially transferred. The classification of leases as finance or operating is based on the substance and not the form of the contract. Tangible fixed assets acquired under finance leases and the corresponding liabilities are recorded in accounts by the financial method. According to this method, the cost of the asset is recorded as a tangible fixed asset and the corresponding liability is recorded as a liability and the interest included in the value of the rental payments and depreciation of assets, calculated as described above, are recognised as financial expenses on 132 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 the income statement of the period to which they relate. In operating leases, the rental payments are recognised as a cost on the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 2.16. Retirement pension benefits Liability for the payment of retirement, disability and survivors’ pensions is recorded in accordance with the criteria established in IAS 19 – Employee benefits. The costs of awarding these benefits under defined benefit plans are recognised as the services are rendered by the beneficiary employees. At the end of each accounting period actuarial studies by independent entities are obtained in order to determine the value of the liabilities at that date and the cost of pensions to be recorded in the period, according to the projected credit unit method. These liabilities estimated in this manner are recognised on the statement of financial position under the Employee benefits item. Pension costs are recorded under Personnel costs as provided for in the referred standard, based on the values determined by actuarial studies and include current service costs (accrued liability), which corresponds to the additional benefits earned by employees during the period and interest costs, which result from the update of past liabilities. Past service costs are immediately recognised as the associated benefits have already been recognised or, in other words, recognised on a linear basis over the period it is estimated they will be obtained. 2.17. Provisions Provisions are recognised when: (i) the Group has a present obligation (legal or implicit) resulting from past events; (ii) settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources; and (iii) the amount can be estimated reliably. Provisions are reviewed on the date of each statement of financial position and adjusted in order to reflect the best estimate at that date. In particular, provisions are set up to meet contractual obligations to maintain or replace the equipment operated under the management and operation contract of Vila Franca Hospital, based on the investment plan arising from the obligations envisaged in Annex V to that contract, in accordance with the provisions of IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements. 2.18. Contingent assets and liabilities A contingent liability arises when there is: - a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existen ce will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group; or - a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recogni- sed because: i t is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. 133 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements. They are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefits is remote, in which case they are not subject to disclosure. A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly under the control of the Group. Contingent assets are not recognised in the consolidated financial statements but disclosed in the notes thereto when a future economic benefit is probable. 2.19. Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual relationship. cost, net of estimated realisation losses. Impairment losses are recorded based on the evaluation of the estimated losses associated with doubtful debts at the date of the statement of financial position. The identified impairment losses are recognised against profit and loss in the Provisions and impairment losses item. They are subsequently reversed through profit and loss under the Reversal of provisions and impairment losses item if a reduction of the estimated loss in a subsequent period is verified. c) Investments Investments are recognised (and derecognised) on the date all the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred, regardless of the date of settlement. Investments are initially measured at their acquisition cost, which is the fair value of the price paid, including transaction costs. Investments other than those in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are classified as follows: a) Cash and cash equivalents The amounts included in Cash and cash equivalents correspond to cash, bank deposits, term deposits and other cash investments maturing in under three months, and which may be immediately redeemed at insignificant risk of changes in value. b) Receivables Accounts receivable have no implicit interest and are initially recorded in the accounts at nominal value and subsequently measured at amortized Investments held to maturity are investments with predetermined financial flows and defined maturity, which the Group has the intention and capacity to hold up to that date. They are classified as non-current - - - - Investments held to maturity; Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss; Financial assets available for sale; Other investments. 134 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 investments, unless the maturity is less than twelve months from the date of the statement of financial position. These investments are recorded at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, less repayments of principal and interest earned. Impairment losses are recognised in profit/loss when the recorded value of the investment is less than the estimated cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate determined at the time of initial recognition. The reversal of impairment losses in subsequent periods may only occur when an increase in the recoverable amount of the investment is related to events occurring after the date on which the impairment loss was recognised. In any event, the recognised value of the investment resulting from the reversal of the impairment loss cannot exceed the value corresponding to the respective amortised cost if the impairment loss had not been recognised. Assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading acquired for sale in the short term, and are classified as current investments. Financial instruments that on initial recognition are designated by the Company at fair value through profit or loss are also included in this category, provided they have a price listed on an active market or the fair value may be reliably measured. After initial recognition, the assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available for sale are re-evaluated at their fair values by reference to their market value at the date of the statement of financial position, without any deduction for transaction costs that may occur up to their actual sale. In the situations where the investments are in equity instruments not admitted to trading on regulated markets, and for which the fair value cannot be reliably estimated, they are kept at their acquisition cost less any impairment losses. Financial assets available for sale are financial investments that are available for sale or which do not fit under any of the classifications and are classified as non-current assets. The gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of financial assets available for sale are recognised in equity under the heading “Other reserves” until the investment is sold or otherwise disposed of, or in situations where an impairment loss is believed to exist, then the cumulative gain or loss is recognised on the income statement. d) Financial liabilities and equity instruments Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contract, regardless of their legal form. Equity instruments are contracts that demonstrate a residual interest in the Group’s assets after deduction of the liabilities. The equity instruments issued are recorded at the amount received, net of costs incurred with their issuance. e) Bank loans Loans are initially recorded under liabilities at their nominal value, net of issuing costs, corresponding to their fair value at that date. Loans are subsequently measured by the amortized cost method, calculated according to the effective interest method. The corresponding financial charges are calculated according to the effective interest rate. 135 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 f) Payables Payables are initially recorded in the accounts at nominal value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. g) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting The group’s policy is to contract derivative financial instruments for hedging of financial risks to which it is exposed, which are mainly due to interest rate variations. 2.20. Subsequent events Events occurring after the date of the statement of financial position and which provide additional information about situations existing on the date of the statement of financial position are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Events occurring after the date of the statement of financial position and which provide information about situations occurring after that date are disclosed, if material, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Hedging instruments The possibility of calling a derivative financial instrument a hedging instrument complies with the provisions of IAS 39, namely, with regard to its respective documentation and effectiveness evaluation. Derivative financial instruments are recognised for their fair value on the date they are negotiated. Fair value is evaluated on a regular basis and resulting gains and losses recorded in the income statement, except cash flow hedging derivatives in which the variation is recognised in Consolidates Equity. Accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument reaches maturity or is sold, or when the hedging relationship ceases to comply with the requirements of IAS 39. 136 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 3.

CHANGES IN THE CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER The main changes occurred in the consolidation perimeter in the financial year ended on 31 December 2015 were essentially the following: 4.1. Newly consolidated companies 3.2. Associates The associates registered through the equity method as of 31 December 2015 (Note 18) are the following: Percentage Capital Held Company Hospital CUF Santarém, S.A. Company Centro Gamma Knife-Radiocirurgia, S.A. Escala Braga - Sociedade Gestora do Edifício, S.A. Escala Parque – Gestão de Estacionamento, S.A.

Its corporate purpose is to provide medical services in an inpatient regime and medical and surgical care for eight counties in the region of Santarém and a population of over 190,000. On that date, the entry of this company into the consolidation perimeter had the following impact on consolidated financial statements: 139 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 CUF Santarém Hospital Net assets acquired: Intangible assets Tangible fixed assets Investment properties Investments in subsidiaries Deferred tax assets Inventories Trade receivables and advances to suppliers State and other public entities Other debtors Other assets Cash and cash equivalents Borrowings Trade payables and advances from clients State and other public entities Other liabilities Other creditors Goodwill (Note 15) Acquisition price/Payments made (Note 26) 13,322,002 74,681 1,630 216,396 739,265 1,465,980 16 ,838 645 4,410 92,925 (5,886,360) (645,699) (72,143) (1,285,567) (2,690,000) 5,355,002 7,035,102 12,390,104 4.2. Other operations VALIR – Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A. During 2015, a 3.0623% stake in VALIR – Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, S.A., was acquired by JMS, increasing the shareholding from 92.93% to 95.99%. The value that results from the difference between the amount paid for the non-controlling interests and their fair value, in accordance with IFRS 10, cannot be considered goodwill, was directly reflected in Consolidated Equity. Hospital CUF Viseu, S.A. Hospital CUF Viseu, S.A. was established on 4 April 2015. The corporate purpose of the Hospital is to manage and operate hospital establishments with the possibility of leasing areas and providing medical services of any type or speciality, including surgery and inpatients. It is expected to open at the end of the first semester of 2016. As the company was created from scratch by JMS and has not yet started operating, it had no significant impact on current consolidated financial statements. S.P.S.D. – Sociedade Portuguesa de Serviços Domiciliários, S.A. In January 2015, a demerger-merger operation took place through the dissolution of the S.P.S.D. – Sociedade Portuguesa de Serviços Domiciliários, S.A. (SPSD). This operation divided SPSD assets into two parts, comprising the economic units of Lisbon and Porto. The Lisbon unit was merged with Hospital CUF Infante Santo, S.A. (“HCIS”) and the Porto unit with 140 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 Hospital CUF Porto, S.A. (“HCP”), as mentioned in paragraph c), point 1, article 118 of the Code of Commercial Companies. This demerger-merger operation had no impact whatsoever on current consolidated financial statements. 4.3. Other operations that affected the perimeter in previous years Campos Costa – Consultório de Tomografia Computorizada, S.A. On 9 December 2014, the affiliate Vramondi International BV (“Vramondi”) signed a sales contract with BASE – Serviços Médicos de Imagiologia, SGPS, S.A. (“Base”), for the full amount of share capital of Dr. Campos Costa – Consultório de Tomografia Computorizada, S.A. (“Dr. Campos Costa”). The business universe of Dr. Campos Costa (“Campos Costa Group”) was made up of 5 subsidiary companies. Under the terms of the aforementioned contract, Vramondi would sell all shares representing Dr. Campos Costa share capital to Base on 6 January 2015, which did indeed occur on that date. In this context, JMS intended to show “non-current assets held for sale” and “liabilities directly related to non-current assets held for sale” and the assets and liabilities for the Campos Costa Group in its consolidated statement of financial position as well as showing charges and income generated in 2014 as “Discontinued activities” and other consolidated comprehensive income in its statement of profit/loss. Digihealth and Haspac The Ministry of Health terminated the concession contract with the Hospital Amadora Sintra – Sociedade Gestora, S.A. (“HAS”), currently called Digihealth, S.A., on 6 November 2007. This company had managed the Prof. Dr Fernando Fonseca EPE Hospital. The transfer of management took effect from 1 January 2009. This is the reason why this activity was discontinued. Consequently, the activity of another group company, HASPAC – Patologia Clínica, S.A. (“Haspac”) which operated the Clinical Pathology Department on an exclusive basis of HAS was also discontinued. On 12 December 2012, the arbitration tribunal, in the current arbitration process, issued a ruling ordering the Regional Health Administration of Lisbon and the Tagus Valley I.P. (“ARSLVT”) to pay Digihealth the sum of EUR 18,123,526. Although ordered to and given notice pay, ARSLVT never paid the ordered amount. ARSLVT filed an action to annul the arbitration ruling in the Tribunal Central Administrativo Sul and the decision is still pending. At the end of the first quarter of 2014, Digihealth noted that the effort put into collecting from the ARSLVT was not producing the desired outcome. Therefore, and with the aim of paying off, even if partially, the liabilities contracted with its creditors, Digihealth sounded out the market and managed to find an entity, Finanfarma – Sociedade de Factoring, S.A., willing to sign a factoring contract and to pay a very large sum for the acquisition of Digihealth’s credit over ARSLVT, expressly envisaging the possibility of appealing to the Special Revitalisation Process (“PER”). The 141 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 strategy advocated by Digihealth merited the agreement of a large majority of creditors (74.46%) representatives of its liability. On 1 August 2014, Digihealth filed the PER process following approval from 84% of creditors, and subsequently ratified by the Commercial Court of Lisbon on 5 March 2015. Even though it had obtained support from different creditors (47.98%), representatives of the HASPAC liability, the truth is that it was not possible to achieve the qualified majority of 67%, thereby enabling an arrangement with creditors to be made. In this context, HASPAC management was forced to proceed with a voluntary submission request to Insolvency at the Tribunal da Comarca de Lisboa Oeste. It had been declared insolvent on 19 February 2015, and the respective insolvency administrator was appointed. As in previous years, the Boards of Directors of Digihealth and HASPAC carried out their activity in accordance with the definition and commitments agreed with their creditors and in coordination with the appropriate monitoring committees. Therefore, the JMS Group considered, from the date of signing the credit regularisation agreements with the majority of creditors and the establishment by these creditors of a monitoring committee, that there is no effective control of these subsidiaries, therefore they were excluded from the consolidation perimeter. management contract, should take place before the end of June 2016, whereby verification of real production is currently underway. The Escala Braga Board of Directors believes that it is duly justified to make its wishes known, without resulting in any negative financial impact that has a significant negative effect on the accounts. Escala Vila Franca – Sociedade Gestora do Estabelecimento, S.A. (“Escala Vila Franca”) Checking procedures are currently being carried out with ARSLVT with regard to adjustments made to accounts in 2015, which, pursuant to the management contract, should take place before the end of June 2016. Adjustments made to 2013 and 2014 accounts are currently being closed for checking real production. The Escala Vila Franca Board of Directors believes that it is duly justified to make its wishes known, without resulting in any negative financial impact that has a significant negative effect on the accounts. Escala Braga – Sociedade Gestora do Estabelecimento, S.A. (“Escala Braga”) Checking procedures are currently taking place with Administração Regional de Saúde do Norte, I.P. (ARS Norte), regarding adjustments made to Braga Hospital accounts in 2014 and 2015, which, pursuant to the 142 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The main activities undertaken by the Group are classified into the following business segments: - Private healthcare services; - Public healthcare services; - Holdings and shared services; and - Others The Private healthcare business area includes the following units: -six hospitals providing a total of 541 inpatient beds; 342 consulting rooms; 31 operating theatres, six delivery rooms, and a vast offer of specialty consultations, exams, dental care, check-ups, physical me dicine and rehabilitation; -two outpatient units offering specialty consultations, exams, dental care, check-ups, physical medicine and rehabilitation and also the possibility of carrying out minor surgery; -one high technology diagnosis and treatment unit including 56 consulting rooms; and, -four clinical imaging units with a wide range of exams (bone densito metry, ultrasound scan, mammography, radiology, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography). The “Public Healthcare” business area results from two partnership contracts with the Portuguese State, in which the Group manages two hospitals: - Hospital de Braga – resulting from a public-private partnership established in December 2008, the new Braga Hospital opened on 9 May 2011. It has a total hospital floor area of 102 000 m2, 702 beds and 63 consulting rooms, serving a population of 1.2 million inhabitants in the Braga and Viana do Castelo districts; and - Vila Franca de Xira Hospital – the Escala Vila Franca de Xira Consortium took over the management of Reynaldo dos Santos Hospital on 1 June 2011, being responsible for the entire operations of this hospital which belongs to the Portuguese National Health Service. The management of the previous hospital infrastructure was assured for the period of 2 years. In April 2013, the new Vila Franca de Xira Hospital opened, with a gross construction area of 49 000 m2, 278 inpatient beds and 33 consulting rooms, serving about 235,000 inhabitants of the Alenquer, Arruda dos Vinhos, Azambuja, Benavente and Vila Franca de Xira municipalities. The “Holdings and shared services” segment includes, besides the management of shareholdings, seven entities providing management, training, accountancy, consultancy, cleaning and maintenance services, and also information systems, operational, administrative, medical equipment hire, negotiation and procurement services. It should be also noted that the Group has units that (i) provide safety, hygiene and health at work services that are essential to monitor employees’ health and environmental work conditions, (ii) provide customised home healthcare services, namely in the areas of gerontology, mother and child care, convalescence care and palliative care, (iii) 143 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 marketing of parapharmaceuticals, which include dermocosmetics, personal hygiene products, baby products, orthopaedic products, food products and nutritional supplements, dietetic foods, natural products and pharmaceutical products not requiring medical prescription and (iv) purchase, sale, management and lease of hospital premises.

The income capitalisation method is aimed at determining the value of a property according to its income-producing capacity. It relates future income (in an optimistic assumption and according to economic lifetime) to its current value in order to obtain the market value (in terms of continued use). This method is aimed at determining the current value of future income, according to the actual value and state. CUF Infante Santo Hospital Evaluation of the CUF Infante Santo Hospital was based on the Market Comparison Method. With the CUF Tejo project, a new plot of land was acquired for the construction of the new hospital with a view to the sale of the current building housing the CUF Infante Santo Hospital starting in 2019. Evaluation of the previous year was based on different assumptions to those used in the current year, which justifies the variation in fair value in comparison with the previous year. properties. The transaction value of similar properties obtained from market research was used for calculation purposes, after adjusting the characteristics of the properties under evaluation. Capitalisation rates used reflect market behaviour of offices in Portugal upon analysing the profitability of medium/long-term investment projects. Tangible assets in progress will be recognised as Land and natural resources or Buildings and other constructions when their promotion is recognised as irresistible. These assets are valued at cost price on the date of the financial statement.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS The subsidiary Hospital CUF Infante Santo, S.A. (“HCIS”) has the liability of topping-up the retirement pensions of some of its employees with whom this liability was agreed. Although it has not established any fund or insurance to cover this liability, a provision has been set up for this purpose, which is updated annually according to an actuarial study conducted by a specialised and independent entity. The expiry of the Collective Labour Agreement with the Ministry of Labour was formally, and in accordance with legislation in force, applied for in relation to employees still working. This came into effect on 6 February 2013. The law envisages, according to a legal opinion, no change to the “remuneration, category and respective definition, duration of working hours and social protection schemes whose benefits are substituted by those of the general social security scheme or by substitution protocol of National Health Service.” The pension top-up does not fit in with this requirement and ceases to have effect from February 2013. Accordingly, the liability remains in force for retired employees of HCIS. According to the evaluation report presented by Watson Wyatt International Limited, Sucursal em Portugal, the current amount of liabilities with retirement pensions for past service, at the date of the statement of financial position, is estimated on 1,508,000 euros (1,464,000 euros in 2014). The adjusted provision for retirement pensions is reported in Note 33. The actuarial evaluation of pension plan liabilities was performed according to the Projected Unit Credit method, taking into consideration the following assumptions: Discount rate (before retirement) Discount rate (after retirement) Pensions growth rate Mortality table: For men For women Number of Retirements Average Age 2015 2014 1.50% 1.50% 0.00% 1.90% 1.90% 0.00% TV 73/77 (-1 ano) TV 88/90 55 72 TV 73/77 (-1 ano) TV 88/90 55 71 191 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 33.

Swaps contracted respect the characteristics of the aforementioned loans emitted so that they may be considered hedge products (same indexer, same interest period and payment deadlines). On the interest payment date, the JMS Group receives interest indexed to Euribor six months for 100% of the debenture capital and pays interest at a fixed rate on the same amount. On 31 December 2014 and 2015, the JMS Group had contracted the following financial derivative instruments: Asset Current Liability Non-Current Current Non-Current Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging Interest rate Swaps - - - 1,487,808 Total derivatives assets/liabilities - - - 1,487,808 198 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 The figure recognised in this item refers to six “Swap” interest rate contracts signed by the JMS Group to cover the risk of interest fluctuation.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT the financing markets, and it carefully and judiciously selects the most efficient alternatives. The Group, like most companies, is exposed to a number of market risks related to changes in interest rates and liquidity risks arising from its financial liabilities, as well as the credit risk resulting from its operational and cash management activity. All financial risk management operations, in particular those involving the use of derivatives require the prior approval of the Finance Director or the Executive Committee. Analysed below in more detail are the main financial risks that the Group is exposed to and the main measures implemented to manage those risks. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to fulfil its obligations regarding a financial instrument, resulting in a loss. The JMS Group is subject to credit risk in relation to the following activities: - Operating activity – Customers, Suppliers and other accounts receivable and payable; - Financing activities. Interest rate risk The interest rate risk management policy is aimed at minimising the debt cost by keeping the volatility of financial costs at a low level. Liquidity risk The financing policy and management of liquidity risk is based on the following objectives: - Ensure a schedule of debt maturity that is staggered over time; - Reduce short-term indebtedness; - Extend the average maturity of debt. In order to fulfil the objectives stated above, the Group closely monitors The management of credit risk relating to customers and other receivables is achieved as follows: - Following previously established policies, procedures and controls; - Credit limits are established for all clients based on internal assess ment criteria; - The credit quality of each customer is assessed based on credit ratings provided by specialised external companies; - The amounts owed are regularly monitored and supplies to the most significant clients are usually backed by guarantees; - The JMS Group has factoring contracts in force, through which it grants credit and transfers the collection risk to the Factoring entity. The changes in the impairment losses of receivables are disclosed in Note 33. 200 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 It is the understanding of the Board of Directors that, at 31 December 2015, the estimated impairment losses on receivables are adequately reported in the financial statements. 39. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on market prices, where available. If these are not available, fair value is estimated using internal models based on discounted cash flow techniques. The nominal value less estimated credit adjustments of trade receivables and payables is assumed to be close to their fair value. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by updating the contracted future cash flows, at the current market interest rate available for similar financial instruments. There are no significant differences between fair values calculated in this manner and the respective book values. 201 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 40.

Board of Auditors’ Report and Opinion Dear Shareholders, We would like to present you with the Report and Opinion on the individual and consolidated accounts and the individual and consolidated management report for José de Mello Saúde, S.A., for the year ending on 31 December 2015. During the financial year and as part of our appointed duties, we carried out, with satisfactory results and with the frequency and extent deemed most adequate, a general audit of all accounting procedures, as well as surveys of their corresponding records and other probative elements. With regard to internal controls and risk assessment, the Audit Board regularly interacted with several of the company’s departments, such as internal audit board, financial management, strategic planning, management and innovation control and organisational development and quality, where it obtained all explanations and reassurance considered necessary. We positively report the marked improvement in the net worth of the company either in individual or in consolidated terms. Also worthy of mention is the increase in the company’s balance sheet to over 478 million euros, which was partly due to the increase in the consolidation perimeter through the purchase of an hospital in Santarém. The gross debt decreased 10.1 million euros in comparison with 2014, which is justified by reimbursement of consolidated mutual benefits from Novo Banco and partial amortisation of real estate leases held by Imo Health. Despite the reduction of the gross debt, the net debt increased by 26.6 million euros due to the purchase of land for the new Hospital in Lisbon and the Santarém Hospital, which implied a reduction in cash. The financial leverage ratio, namely D/EBITDA, increased to 2.0x (1.8x in 2014). Financial autonomy increased to 17.0% in comparison with 2014 due to the reinforcement of consolidated equity. The report of Board of Directors explains the orientation of the policy followed by the Company during the year as well as the activities proposed for 2016. The Statement of Financial Position, Income and Other Comprehensive Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement and Cash Flow and respective Annex comply with legal requirements, and show the position of accounting records at the end of the year as well as the Company’s financial position. As required from us, we verified the terms of the Legal Certification of Accounts, issued by the Statutory Auditor, and concluded that its content merits our agreement. 219 REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2015 On this basis, we understand that the documents mentioned above, when read as a whole, provide us with a good understanding of the financial situation of José de Mello Saúde, S.A. on 31 December 2015, and satisfy legal and statutory provisions. Finally, we would like to thank the Management and all Employees in the service of the Company who we contacted, for all the cooperation we received when performing our duties.
