Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010

1.- Company activities

Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. (“the Company”), with registered office at Avenida Isla Graciosa, 13, San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid), was incorporated on 7 June 1988, and its then sole company object was the indirect management of a public television service.

For this purpose, it submitted a bid in response to the call for tenders made under Article 8 of Private Television Law 10/1988, of 3 May, and, pursuant to a resolution of the Spanish Cabinet of 25 August 1989, was awarded a concession for the indirect management of the public television service, for a period of ten years, which ended on 3 April 2000.

On 7 May 1996, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting resolved to change and extend the Company’s object, as permitted by Satellite Telecommunications Law 37/1995.

On 10 March 2000, the Spanish Cabinet adopted a resolution renewing the concession for the indirect management of the public television service for a period of ten years from 3 April 2000. The terms of this renewal were the same as for the former concession, with the added obligation of commencing digital broadcasting on 3 April 2002. The Company made all the necessary investments to enable it to begin broadcasting on that date the Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. signal pursuant to Royal Decree 2169/1998, of 9 October, approving the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). On 3 April 2010, the Spanish Cabinet renewed the concession for the indirect management of the public television service for a period of ten years, under the same terms as those of the former concession.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. on 28 April 2003 and the Company’s Board of Directors at their meeting on 29 July 2003 resolved to request the admission to listing of all the shares of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges, and their inclusion in the Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System. On 29 October 2003, the Company's shares commenced trading on these stock exchanges.

Additional Provision One of Royal Decree 944/2005, of 29 July, approving the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television established 3 April 2010 as the date for the switch-off of analogue television broadcasting in all the transition projects defined in the National Plan for the Transition to Digital Terrestrial Television. From that date onwards, all terrestrial television was broadcast using digital technology.

Following this milestone, in accordance with Additional Provision Three of Royal Decree 944/2005, of 29 July, each national terrestrial public television service concession operator would gain access to a digital multiplex with national coverage.

Royal Decree 365/2010, of 26 March, governs the allocation of the Digital Terrestrial Television multiplexes following the switch-off of terrestrial television broadcasting using analogue technology.

It established two phases for the allocation of the digital multiplexes. Phase 1, (transitional), in which each national terrestrial public service television concession operator would gain access to the capacity equivalent to one digital multiplex with national coverage, provided they demonstrated that they had met the terms and conditions established in relation to the drive and development of digital terrestrial television, and phase 2, in which new digital multiplexes will be planned, and adjustments will be established so that the radio-electric channels 61 to 69, which were being used by the digital multiplexes in the previous phase can be replaced by others in phase 2. This will conclude before 1 January 2015 with the allocation of the definitive digital multiplexes to each qualifying company, thereby ending the shared use of digital multiplex capacity by the national terrestrial public service concession operators.

On 16 July 2010, the Spanish Cabinet adopted a resolution to allocate a national digital multiplex to each national DTT concession operator: Antena 3, Gestevisión Telecinco, Sogecable, Veo Televisión, NET TV and La Sexta. The digital multiplex is composed of four digital television channels that can be operated twenty-four hours a day.

The allocation was made upon request and after the switch-off of analogue broadcasting, once it had been verified that the digital terrestrial television service concession operators had met the obligations relating to the drive and development of digital terrestrial television that they had assumed in the framework of the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television and the Royal Decree governing the specific allocation of DTT multiplexes, following the switch-off of analogue terrestrial television broadcasting.

In any event, the definitive multiplex will be accessed by 1 January 2015, in accordance with the phases established in the Royal Decree.

The Company is the head of a group of subsidiaries and is obliged under current legislation to prepare consolidated financial statements separately. The consolidated financial statements of the Antena 3 Group for 2010 were formally prepared by its directors at the Board of Directors Meeting held on 23 February 2011. The consolidated financial statements for 2009 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. on 24 March 2010, and were filed at the Mercantile Registry of Madrid.

2.- Basis of presentation of the financial statements

2.1 Regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company

The accompanying financial statements were formally prepared by the Company’s directors in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company, which consists of:

a) The Spanish Commercial Code and all other Spanish corporate law.b) The Spanish National Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 and its industry

adaptations, and Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) Circular 1/2008, of 30 January, on the periodic information of issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on regulated markets.

c) The mandatory rules approved by the Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute in order to implement the Spanish National Chart of Accounts and the relevant secondary legislation, the mandatory rules approved by the CNMV and all other applicable Spanish accounting legislation.

2.2 Fair presentation

The accompanying financial statements, which were obtained from the Company's accounting records, are presented in accordance with the regulatory financial reporting framework applicable to the Company and, in particular, with the accounting principles and rules contained therein and, accordingly, present fairly the Company's equity, financial position, results of operations and cash flows for 2010. These financial statements, which were formally prepared by the Company's directors, will be submitted for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, and it is considered that they will be approved without any changes. The financial statements for 2009 were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2010.

2.3 Non-obligatory accounting principles applied

No non-obligatory accounting principles were applied. Also, the directors formally prepared these financial statements by taking into account all the obligatory accounting principles and standards with a significant effect hereon. All obligatory accounting principles were applied.

2.4 Key issues in relation to the measurement and estimation of uncertainty

In preparing the accompanying financial statements estimates were made by the Company's directors in order to measure certain of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein. These estimates relate basically to the following:

The assessment of possible impairment losses on certain assets (see Notes 4.4 and 8). The useful life of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Notes 4.1 and 4.2). The calculation of provisions (see Notes 4.9 and 13). Programme amortisation (see Note 4.5 and 11).

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at 2010 year-end, events that take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates (upwards or downwards) in coming years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency. However, the directors of the Company estimate that the cash flows generated by the business and the financing lines available will enable the Company to meet its short-term liabilities.

2.5 Comparative information

The information relating to 2010 included in these notes to the financial statements is presented for comparison purposes with that relating to 2009.

On 24 September 2010, Royal Decree 1159/2010, of 17 September, was published in the Spanish Official State Gazette (BOE), which made certain amendments to the Spanish National Chart of Accounts approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007.

Pursuant to the transition rules provided for, these amendments were applied prospectively from 1 January 2010 and did not have a material impact. Also, pursuant to these rules, the Company opted to present comparative information without adapting it to the new rules and, therefore, these financial statements are considered to be initial financial statements for the purposes of the principles of uniformity and comparability.

2.6 Grouping of items

Certain items in the balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are grouped together to facilitate their understanding; however, whenever the amounts involved are material, the information is broken down in the related notes to the financial statements.

2.7 Changes in accounting policies

In 2010 there were no significant changes in accounting policies with respect to those applied in 2009.

2.8 Correction of errors

In preparing the accompanying financial statements no significant errors were detected that would have made it necessary to restate the amounts included in the financial statements for 2009.

2.9 Effect of not consolidating

The Company is the majority shareholder of certain companies and has ownership interests equal to or exceeding 20% in the share capital of other companies (see Note 8). The separate financial statements at 31 December 2010 do not reflect the increases in the value of the Company’s ownership interests in these companies which would arise from fully consolidating majority ownership interests and accounting for investments in associates using the equity method. Pursuant to current legislation, the Company prepared consolidated financial statements separately in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In 2010, the main aggregates in the consolidated financial statements are as follows: total assets (EUR 783 million), equity (EUR 304 million), revenue (EUR 773 million) and profit for the year (EUR 109 million).

3.- Distribution of profit

The proposed distribution of the profit for the year that the Company’s directors will submit for approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting is as follows (in thousands of euros):

2010

Interim dividends paid in 2010 (EUR 0.20 per share) 40,111Dividends (amount to be distributed at EUR 0.25 per share ) 50,139Offset of prior years’ losses 1,568

Total 91,818

On 27 October 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the distribution out of the Company’s profit for 2010 of EUR 0.20 gross per share, giving a total dividend of EUR 40,111 thousand, which was recognised under “Equity – Interim Dividend” in the balance sheet.

The provisional accounting statement prepared in accordance with legal requirements evidencing the existence of sufficient liquidity for the distribution of the dividends is as follows:

4.- Accounting policies and measurement bases

The principal accounting policies and measurement bases used by the Company in preparing its financial statements for 2010 and 2009, in accordance with the Spanish National Chart of Accounts, were as follows:

4.1 Intangible assets

As a general rule, intangible assets are recognised initially at acquisition or production cost. They are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. These assets are amortised over their years of useful life.The Company recognises under “Computer Software” the costs incurred in the acquisition and development of computer programs, including website development costs. Computer software maintenance costs are recognised with a charge to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Computer software is amortised on a straight-line basis over three to five years.

4.2 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recognised at acquisition or production cost and are subsequently reduced by the related accumulated depreciation and by any impairment losses recognised, as indicated in this Note.

Property, plant and equipment upkeep and maintenance expenses are recognised in the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. However, the costs of improvements leading to increased capacity or efficiency or to a lengthening of the useful lives of the assets are capitalised.

The Company depreciates its property, plant and equipment by the straight-line method at annual rates based on the years of estimated useful life of the assets, the detail being as follows:

Years ofestimateduseful life

Buildings 33Plant 5 - 8Computer hardware 3 - 5 Other fixtures 6 - 10Other items of property, plant and equipment 6 - 10

Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

At the end of each reporting period, or whenever there are indications of impairment in the case of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, the Company tests the assets for impairment to determine whether the recoverable amount of the assets has been reduced to below their carrying amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

In the case of property, plant and equipment, the impairment tests are performed individually for each asset.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses (not permitted in the specific case of goodwill), the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income.

4.3 Operating leases

Lease income and expenses from operating leases are recognised in income on an accrual basis.

Any collection or payment that might be made when arranging an operating lease will be treated as a prepaid lease collection or payment which will be allocated to profit or loss over the lease term in accordance with the time pattern in which the benefits of the leased asset are provided or received.

The leases in which the Company is a lessor consist basically of offices which the Company has leased to companies in its Group.

4.4 Financial instruments

4.4.1 Financial assets

Classification-

The financial assets held by the Company are classified in the following categories:

a) Loans and receivables: financial assets arising from the sale of goods or the rendering of services in the ordinary course of the Company's business, or financial assets which, not having commercial substance, are not equity instruments or derivatives, have fixed or determinable payments and are not traded in an active market.

b) Equity investments in Group companies and associates: Group companies are deemed to be those related to the Company as a result of a relationship of control and associates are companies over which the Company exercises significant influence.

Initial recognition -

Financial assets are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration given, plus any directly attributable transaction costs.

In the case of equity investments in Group companies affording control over the subsidiary, since 1 January 2010 the fees paid to legal advisers and other professionals relating to the acquisition of the investment have been recognised directly in profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement -

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost.

Investments in Group companies and associates are measured at cost net, where appropriate, of any accumulated impairment losses. These losses are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the investments and their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows from the investment. Unless there is better evidence of the recoverable amount, it is based on the value of the equity of the investee, adjusted by the amount of the unrealised gains existing at the date of measurement (including any goodwill).

At least at each reporting date the Company tests financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss for impairment. Objective evidence of impairment is considered to exist when the recoverable amount of the financial asset is lower than its carrying amount. When this occurs, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

In particular, the Company calculates valuation adjustments relating to trade and other receivables, by taking into account the date on which the receivables are due to be settled and the specific equity position of the debtors in question.

The Company derecognises a financial asset when it expires or when the rights to the cash flows from the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred, such as in the case of firm asset sales.

However, the Company does not derecognise financial assets, and recognises a financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received, in transfers of financial assets in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained, such as in the case of bill discounting.

4.4.2 Financial liabilities

Page 16: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

7

Financial liabilities include accounts payable by the Company that have arisen from the purchase of goods or services in the normal course of the Company's business and those which, not having commercial substance, cannot be classed as derivative financial instruments.

Accounts payable are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted by the directly attributable transaction costs. These liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

The Company derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations giving rise to them cease to exist.

4.4.3 Equity instruments

An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Treasury shares acquired by the Company during the year are recognised at the value of the consideration paid and are deducted directly from equity. Gains and losses on the acquisition, sale, issue or retirement of treasury shares are recognised directly in equity and in no case are they recognised in profit or loss.

4.4.4 Hedges

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks to which its business activities, operations and future cash flows are exposed. Basically, these risks relate to changes in exchange rates. The Company arranges hedging instruments in this connection.

In order for these financial instruments to qualify for hedge accounting, they are initially designated as such and the hedging relationship is documented. Also, the Company verifies, both at inception and periodically over the term of the hedge (at least at the end of each reporting period), that the hedging relationship is effective, i.e. that it is prospectively foreseeable that the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item (attributable to the hedged risk) will be almost fully offset by those of the hedging instrument and that, retrospectively, the gain or loss on the hedge was within a range of 80-125% of the gain or loss on the hedged item.

In 2010 the Company used the following type of hedge, which is accounted for as described below:

Cash flow hedges: in hedges of this nature, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been determined to be an effective hedge is recognised temporarily in equity and is recognised in the income statement in the same period during which the hedged item affects profit or loss, unless the hedge relates to a forecast transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, in which case the amounts recognised in equity are included in the initial cost of the asset or liability when it is acquired or assumed.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecast transaction occurs. If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the year.

4.5 Inventories

Programme rights

Rights and programme inventories are valued, based on their nature, as follows:

1. Inventoriable in-house productions (programmes produced to be re-run, such as series) are measured at acquisition and/or production cost, which includes both external costs billed by third parties for programme production and for the acquisition of resources, and internal production costs, which are calculated by applying pre-established internal rates on the basis of the time during which operating resources are used in production. The costs incurred in producing the programmes are recognised, based on their nature, under the appropriate headings in the income statement and are included under “Programme Rights” in the balance sheet with a credit to “Procurements – Inventories” in the income statement.

Amortisation of these programmes is recognised under “Amortisation of Programmes and Other Rights” in the income statement, on the basis of the number of showings, in accordance with the rates shown below:

Amortisation rate

1st showing 90 %2nd showing 10 %

The maximum period for the amortisation of series is three years, after which the unamortised amount is written off.

Given their special nature, the series which are broadcast daily are amortised in full when the first showing of each episode is broadcast.

2. Non-inventoriable in-house productions (programmes produced to be shown only once) are measured usingthe same methods and procedures as those used to measure inventoriable in-house productions. Programmes produced and not shown are recognised at year-end under “Programme Rights - In-House Productions and Productions in Process” in the balance sheet. The cost of these programmes is recognised as an expense under “Programme Amortisation and Other” in the income statement at the time of the first showing.

3. Rights on outside productions (films, series and other similar productions) are measured at acquisition cost. These rights are deemed to have been acquired when the term of the right commences for the Company. Payments made to outside production distributors prior to commencement of the term of the right are recorded under “Advances to Suppliers” in the balance sheet. The amortisation of the rights is recognised under “Programme Amortisation and Other” in the income statement on the basis of the number of showings, in accordance with the rates shown below, which are established on the basis of the number of showings contracted:

Number of showings contractedFILMS

1 2 3 or more

Number of showings contractedSERIES

1 2 or more

1st showing 100% 50%2nd showing - 50%

4. Live broadcasting rights are measured at cost. The cost of these rights is recognised as an expense under “Programme Amortisation and Other” in the income statement at the time of broadcast of the event on which the rights were acquired.

Page 18: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

9

Consumables and other inventories

Dubbings, sound tracks, titles and signature tunes of outside productions are recorded at acquisition or production cost. The amortisation of rights is recorded under “Programme Amortisation and Other” in the income statement at the time of the showing, using the same methods as those used for outside productions.

Other inventories are recorded at acquisition cost and are allocated to profit or loss by the effective or actual amortisation method over the production period.

Provisions

The Company makes the appropriate valuation adjustments to reduce the unamortised value of in-house productions and of the rights on outside productions which it considers will not be shown. When these rights expire, the valuation adjustments are recognised in profit or loss when the cost of the rights is derecognised.

Classification of programmes

In accordance with the Spanish National Chart of Accounts, programme inventories are classified as current assets on the basis of the normal business cycle and standard practice in the industry in which the Company operates. However, programmes are amortised over several years (see Note 11).

4.6 Foreign currency transactions

The Company's functional currency is the euro. Therefore, transactions in currencies other than the euro are deemed to be “foreign currency transactions” and are recognised by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to euros at the rates then prevailing. Any resulting gains or losses are recognised directly in the income statement in the year in which they arise.

Monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. The resulting gains or losses are recognised in equity or in profit or loss by applying the same methods as those used to recognise changes in fair value, as indicated in Note 4.4 on financial instruments.

4.7 Income tax

Tax expense (tax income) comprises current tax expense (current tax income) and deferred tax expense (deferred tax income).

The current income tax expense is the amount payable by the Company as a result of income tax settlements for a given year. Tax credits and other tax benefits, excluding tax withholdings and pre-payments, and tax loss carryforwards from prior years effectively offset in the current year reduce the current income tax expense.

The deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition and derecognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include temporary differences measured at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. These amounts are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except for those arising from the initial recognition of goodwill or of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects neither accounting profit/loss nor taxable profit/tax loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is considered probable that the Company will have taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions charged or credited directly to equity are also recognised in equity.

Page 19: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

10

The deferred tax assets recognised are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and the appropriate adjustments are made to the extent that there are doubts as to their future recoverability. Also, unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that they will be recovered through future taxable profits.

In 2001 the Company began to be taxed on a consolidated basis with other Group companies (see Note 16). In this connection, in calculating its income tax, the Company took into consideration the corresponding Spanish Accounting and Audit Institute (ICAC) resolutions, establishing the methods for the recognition of income tax at companies that file consolidated tax returns.

4.8 Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis, i.e. when the actual flow of the related goods and services occurs, regardless of when the resulting monetary or financial flow arises. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts and taxes.

Revenue from sales is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods sold have been transferred to the buyer, and the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period, provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably.

At present, the Company basically obtains revenue from the sale of advertising space; this revenue is recognised in the income statement when the related advertising spot is broadcast.

Interest income from financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment has been established. Interest and dividends from financial assets accrued after the date of acquisition are recognised in the income statement.

4.9 Provisions and contingencies

When preparing the financial statements the Company's directors made a distinction between:

a) Provisions: credit balances covering present obligations arising from past events with respect to which it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits that is uncertain as to its amount and/or timing will be required to settle the obligations; and

b) Contingent liabilities: possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the Company's control.

The financial statements include all the provisions with respect to which it is considered that it is more likely than not that the obligation will have to be settled. Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements, but rather are disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow in settlement is considered to be remote.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the best possible estimate of the amount required to settle or transfer the obligation, taking into account the information available on the event and its consequences. Where discounting is used, adjustments made to provisions are recognised as interest cost on an accrual basis.

The compensation to be received from a third party on settlement of the obligation is recognised as an asset, provided that there are no doubts that the reimbursement will take place, unless there is a legal relationship whereby a portion of the risk has been externalised as a result of which the Company is not liable; in this situation, the compensation will be taken into account for the purpose of estimating the amount of the related provision that should be recognised.

4.10 Termination benefits

Under current legislation, the Company is required to pay termination benefits to employees terminated under certain conditions. Therefore, termination benefits that can be reasonably quantified are recognised as an expense in the year in which the decision to terminate the employment relationship is taken. The accompanying financial statements do not include any provision in this connection, since no situations of this nature are expected to arise.

4.11 Environmental assets and liabilities

Environmental assets are deemed to be assets used on a lasting basis in the Company's operations whose main purpose is to minimise environmental impact and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction or elimination of future pollution.

In view of the business activities carried on by the Company, it does not have any environmental liability, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be material with respect to its equity, financial position or results. Therefore, no specific disclosures relating to environmental issues are included in these notes to the financial statements.

4.12 Transactions with related parties

The Company performs all its transactions with related parties on an arm's length basis. Also, the transfer prices are adequately supported and, therefore, the Company's directors consider that there are no material risks in this connection that might give rise to significant liabilities in the future.

4.13 Expenses arising from the three-year variable remuneration plan

The Company charges the amount incurred in the year in connection with implementation of the three-year variable remuneration plan to “Staff Costs” or “Other Operating Expenses” in the income statement, based on the employment relationship or the services provided by the beneficiaries, with a credit to “Other Non-Current Liabilities” and “Other Current liabilities” in the balance sheet.

The three-year variable remuneration and loyalty-building plan for the directors of the Company was settled in full in 2009 and, accordingly, there were no liabilities in connection with obligations of this nature at the end of 2010 and 2009. The expense accrued in this connection in 2009 was EUR 5,507 thousand.

The information on Antena 3 Films, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Atres Advertising, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Movierecord Cine, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Publicidad 3, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) and Unipublic, S.A. was obtained from the audited financial statements at 31 December 2010.

None of the investees of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. are listed on Spanish or foreign stock exchanges.

At the end of each year or period the directors assess the business plans of the Company’s investees, revise them if necessary and estimate the value of the ownership interests and the recoverability of the investments made.

For investments for which business plans are not available, impairment is estimated on the basis of the Company’s equity and the unrealised gains at the end of the year or period.

At 31 December 2010, after assessing the business plan of Unipublic, S.A., the Company’s directors considered that this asset had suffered impairment of EUR 5,500 thousand and, accordingly, recognised the related impairment losses with a charge to “Impairment and Gains or Losses on Disposals of Financial Instruments” in the accompanying income statement.

Additionally, impairment losses of EUR 2,859 thousand were recognised in relation to the ownership interest held in Antena 3 Films, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company).

9.- Information on the type and level of risk of financial instruments

The Company's financial risk management is centralised in its Financial Department, which has established the mechanisms required to control exposure to interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations and credit and liquidity risk. The main financial risks affecting the Company are as follows:

a) Credit risk:

In general, the Company holds its cash and cash equivalents at banks with high credit ratings.

The advertising contracting terms enable bank guarantees to be demanded prior to the launch of advertising campaigns. Also, it should be noted that the Company does not have a significant concentration of credit risk exposure to third parties and no significant incidents arose in 2010.

In any case, the Company estimates allowances for doubtful debts based on the age of the debt.

b) Liquidity risk:

The Company’s liquidity policy is to arrange credit lines and current investments that are sufficient to support its financial needs, on the basis of expected business performance.

The Company, for the purpose of ensuring liquidity and enabling it to meet all the payment obligations arising from its business activities, has the cash and cash equivalents disclosed in its balance sheet, together with the credit and financing facilities detailed in Note 14.

c) Foreign currency risk:

Foreign currency risk relates mainly to the payments to be made in international markets to acquire broadcasting rights, primarily from major production companies in the US, denominated in US dollars. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company arranges financial instruments (foreign currency hedges) which reduce exchange differences on foreign currency transactions (see Note 10).

10.- Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge the risks to which its business activities, transactions and future cash flows are exposed. The Company has arranged certain cash flow hedges for these transactions, the detail of which is as follows:

Foreign currency hedges

The Company uses currency derivatives to hedge significant future transactions and cash flows. The instruments purchased are denominated in US dollars.

The Company applies hedge accounting and documents the hedging relationships and the measurement of their effectiveness as required by current legislation. In all cases, these include the cash flow hedges of firm commitments, of which the EUR/USD forward exchange rate exposures to possible variations in the cash flows payable in euros associated with broadcasting rights is hedged.

In 2010 EUR 15 thousand (2009: EUR 69 thousand) were deducted from equity and capitalised to inventories. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives arranged by the Company depend on the change in the EUR/USD exchange rate and on the euro interest rate curves.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had arranged instruments to hedge its foreign currency asset and liability positions amounting to USD 40,235 thousand, at an average weighted exchange rate of EUR 1.3564/USD 1. At 31 December 2009, the Company had arranged hedging instruments amounting to USD 43,104 thousand, at a weighted average exchange rate of EUR 1.4056/USD 1.

At 31 December 2010, the total amount of outstanding forward currency contracts entered into by the Company is as follows (the terms reflect the moment in which the hedged portion is recognised and in which the value of the hedging instruments is adjusted in equity as an increase in / reduction of inventories).

Foreign currency hedges Foreign currency hedge USD call 2012 1,692 - - 63

At 31 December 2010, the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivatives, which are designated and are effective as cash flow hedges, was estimated to be positive by EUR 930 thousand and negative by EUR 444 thousand (31 December 2009: positive by EUR 382 thousand and negative by EUR 1,138 thousand). This amount was deferred and recognised in equity.

The foreign currency derivatives have been arranged in such a way that they are fully effective at each reference date and, accordingly, are recognised in full in equity, until the inventories are recognised.

Page 30: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

21

The sensitivity analysis indicates that positive or negative changes of 5% in spot EUR/USD exchange rates would give rise to changes of approximately EUR 3 million in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives (2009: EUR 6 million). Increases in the value of the euro (depreciation of the US dollar) would increase negative values while decreases in the value of the euro would increase positive values.

Equity and interest rate swaps

In order to cover the increased costs of the three-year variable remuneration plan that would arise as a result of an increase in the Company’s share price, an equity swap contract was arranged in 2006 that met the requirements to qualify for hedge accounting. In 2007 an interest rate derivative was arranged to hedge the fluctuations in the floating interest rate of the equity swap, recognising the changes in the value thereof directly in the income statement for the year.

When the last payment under the three-year variable remuneration plan was made in July 2009, these swaps were recognised in profit and loss and did not have any impact on the balance sheet at 31 December 2010 or 2009.

11.- Inventories

The detail of “Inventories” in the balance sheets at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Total 165,835 184,160

“Advances to Suppliers” in the accompanying balance sheets at 31 December 2010 and 2009 includes basically advances paid in connection with outside production commitments.

The changes in the write-downs relating to “Inventories” in the accompanying balance sheets were as follows (in thousands of euros):

Inventory write-downs (33,815) (12,401) 19,846 (26,370) (5,042) 10,008 (21,404)

The write-downs recognised arose since it was decided that certain titles would not be marketable and it was not likely that they would form part of the Company’s programme schedule.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had commitments, mainly for the purchase of audiovisual property rights, amounting to EUR 36,271 thousand (2009: EUR 34,861 thousand). In addition, the Company has purchase commitments to distributors, the definitive amount and price of which will be determined once the programmes are produced and, in certain cases, by establishing the acquisition price on the basis of box-office takings. The best estimate of these commitments amounts to EUR 45,633 thousand (2009: 26,605 thousand).

It is estimated that most of the rights on inventoriable in-house and outside productions will be amortised in 2011 (see Note 4.5).

12.- Equity and shareholders' equity

At the end of 2010 and 2009 the Company’s share capital consisted of 211,112,800 fully subscribed and paid shares of EUR 0.75 par value each, all of which are of the same class and series and carry the same rights.

At 31 December 2010, the Company's shareholder structure was as follows:

Percentage of ownership

Planeta-deAgostini, S.L. Group 44.58UFA Film und Fernseh GmbH 20.49Treasury shares 5.00Other shareholders 29.93

100.00

The Company’s shares are listed on the Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System and all carry the same voting and dividend rights.

There are agreements among the main shareholders that guarantee the Company’s shareholder stability, the grant of mutual rights of acquisition on their shares, the undertaking not to take control of A3TV or to permit a third party to do so, and also include Company management agreements, as described in the directors’ report.

12.1 Reserves

Legal reserve

Under the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, the Company must transfer 10% of net profit for each year to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.

At the end of 2010 and 2009 the balance of this reserve had reached the legally required minimum.

Other reserves

“Other Reserves” includes an amount of EUR 281 thousand which is restricted as to its use since it corresponds to the “Reserve for the Adjustment of Share Capital to Euros”.

As a result of the capital reduction made in 2006, a reserve of EUR 8,333 thousand was established, equal to the par value of the retired shares, which may only be used if the same requirements as those for the reduction of share capital are met, pursuant to Article 335-c of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

The remaining reserves recognised under “Other Reserves” are unrestricted.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2009 adopted a resolution authorising the Company to acquire treasury shares provided that they did not exceed the maximum legal limit permitted by law at any given time.

Pursuant to Article 82 of Securities Market Law 24/1988, on 10 October 2008, the Company notified the CNMV of a significant event whereby, based on the extraordinary situation of the stock markets and the repercussion thereof on the market price of its shares, the Company resolved to begin a treasury share acquisition process that may be extended to the limit established by the related authorisation resolution adopted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 March 2008. The 5% limit was reached in April 2009.

The changes in “Treasury Shares” in 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 25 March 2009 also resolved to reduce the share capital in order to retire treasury shares with a charge to profit or unrestricted reserves, authorising the Board of Directors to implement this resolution. At the date of preparation of these financial statements, the aforementioned resolution became void due to the expiry of the 18 months in which it was valid. The Board of Directors did not make use of the aforementioned authorisation granted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

12.3 Dividends

At the Annual General Meeting of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A., held on 24 March 2010, the shareholders approved a final dividend out of 2009 profit, which gave rise to a total of EUR 30,084 thousand and was paid to the shareholders on 21 April 2010.

16.2 Reconciliation of the accounting profit to the taxable profit

Pursuant to Corporation Tax Law 43/1995, of 27 December, on 26 December 2000, Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. notified the Madrid tax authorities of its decision to file consolidated income tax returns. This application is considered indefinite provided that the requirements established in the current Article 67 of the Consolidated Spanish Corporation Tax Law are met and the Group does not opt to cease to apply the consolidated tax regime.

The filing of consolidated tax returns gives rise to reciprocal intra-Group balances, due to the offset of the losses incurred by certain companies against the profit earned by other Group companies. These balances are recognised under “Payable to Group Companies” and “Receivable from Group Companies”, as appropriate.

16.5 Deferred tax assets recognised

The difference between the tax charge allocated to 2010 and to prior years and the tax charge already paid or payable for such years, which is recognised under “Deferred Tax Assets”, arose as a result of temporary differences derived from the following:

Total 48,032 3,491 (34,383) (2,395) 14,745

At 31 December 2010, the tax effect of the valuation adjustments relating to the hedging instruments amounting to EUR 383 thousand was recognised under “Non-Current Assets”.

The deferred tax assets indicated above were recognised in the balance sheet because the Company’s directors considered that, based on their best estimate of the Company’s future earnings, including certain tax planning measures, it is probable that these assets will be recovered.

On the basis of the estimate made by the Company’s directors of the timing of future profits for the offset and use of these deferred tax assets, EUR 12,934 thousand were considered to be recoverable in the long term while EUR 509 thousand were considered to be recoverable in the short term. Both amounts are recognised under “Deferred Tax Assets”. Also, on the basis of the aforementioned estimate of the timing of future profits, the directors consider that there are no reasonable doubts as to the recovery of the amounts recognised in the accompanying balance sheet within the statutory time periods and limits.

The changes in deferred tax assets recognised under "Other” include the difference between the recognition of the 2009 income tax provision and the actual tax return filed with the tax authorities, which gave rise to an adjustment of EUR 1,485 thousand to deferred tax assets. Also, the effect of this difference, amounting to EUR 168 thousand, on the income tax expense is recognised under “Negative Adjustments to Income Tax”.

The aforementioned difference includes the adjustment arising from the application of Article 12.3 of the Spanish Corporation Tax Law to the ownership interests held by Antena 3 de Televisión in I3 Televisión, S.L. and Unipublic, S.A., which entails making an adjustment (positive or negative, as appropriate) that does not require recognition in the income statement for the difference between the cost of the ownership interest less the amounts deducted in prior tax periods and the company’s equity, adjusted by the amount of unrealised gains andlosses existing on the acquisition date and still existing on the measurement date.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had recognised unused tax credits amounting to EUR 20,398 thousand.

16.6 Years open for review and tax audits

Under current legislation, taxes cannot be deemed to have been definitively settled until the tax returns filed have been reviewed by the tax authorities or until the four-year statute-of-limitations period has expired. At 2010 year-end the Company had all years since 2005 open for review for income tax and other taxes applicable to it. The Company's directors consider that the tax returns for the aforementioned taxes have been filed correctly and, therefore, even in the event of discrepancies in the interpretation of current tax legislation in relation to the tax treatment afforded to certain transactions, such liabilities as might arise would not have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

16.7 Other disclosures

In 2008 the Company acquired non-current assets as required under the terms established in Article 36.ter of the Spanish Corporation Tax Law as amended in Law 24/2001, for the reinvestment of the extraordinary income obtained by the Group company Uniprex Televisión, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company) on the transfer of the ownership interest in a company. This reinvestment (EUR 499,950) gave rise to a tax credit of EUR 42 thousand, which was taken in 2008.

The aforementioned non-current assets continue to be held in use at Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. in accordance with Article 42.8 of Spanish Corporation Tax Royal-Decree Law 4/2004.

Also, in 2009 the Company used the aforementioned tax credit for the reinvestment of extraordinary income deriving from the transfer of the ownership interest of Gloway Broadcasting Services, S.L., in compliance with the requirement of Article 42. In 2009 the Company acquired non-current assets amounting to EUR 6,414 thousand, under the terms and conditions established in the aforementioned Article to comply with the reinvestment and earned tax credits of EUR 46 thousand that it did not use.

These non-current assets continue to be used and are held in the equity of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A.

ANTENA 3 DE TELEVISIÓN, S.A.DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR 2010

Business performance and background

As we know, the trend in the main source of revenue of Antena 3 de Televisión S.A., i.e. advertising, is strongly influenced by developments in economic activity. This is why the environment in recent years, triggered by the financial and economic crisis that began in the now distant summer of 2007, devastating the Spanish economy, has not been favourable. While in 2008 GDP rose by a slight 0.9%, in 2009 it crashed, falling back by 3.7%. According to the Spanish Institute of Statistics’ preliminary quarterly accounting report, GDP contracted by an overall 0.1% in 2010.

All of this had an immediate effect on the television advertising market which fell by 27.8% in 2008 and 2009 as a whole. This dramatic fall inevitably eroded the free-to-view television operators’ margins. Nevertheless, Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. continued to present very positive results and a most healthy position. The improvement in domestic business activity boosted the performance of the television advertising market in 2010 which, according to internal estimates, grew by 4.3%.

Under the new Spanish public television model, towards 2009 year-end TVE began to reduce its advertising spaces, which, by the beginning of 2010 were completely eliminated. This change, which had been repeatedly requested by all the commercial television operators, provided all of them, including Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. with the possibility of significantly increasing their advertising revenues.

Also, in 2010 the digital terrestrial television (DTT) deployment process in Spain was fully completed, and by the beginning of April there was no further broadcasting of analogue television signals. In the summer, as envisaged, the new digital channels were granted to all the operators, so that all of us now have a complete multiplex system capable of broadcasting four television channels. The entire range of DTT services was thus configured to cover 25 national free-to-view channels and three national pay TV channels. In addition there are numerous regional and local services and public television channels.

Due to the increase in the number of channels, the audience share of traditional channels continued to shrink in 2010. As a result, the main channel, Antena 3, recorded an annual average audience of 11.7% compared with 14.7% in 2009. Conversely, the complementary channels, Neox, Nova and Nitro proved to be the most popular from end August, achieving an aggregate share of 4.1% compared with 1.9% in 2009. Thanks to these channels, the total audience share was 15.8%, only 0.8% lower than that of 2009. It should also be remembered that the strategy of using the same advertising spaces for the four channels means that commercial advantage can be taken of all the channels at the same proportion.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company achieved revenue of EUR 631 million in 2010, compared with EUR 555 million in 2009, an increase of 13.7%, which is substantially higher than that of the market taken as a whole. Other operating income amounted to EUR 26 million, compared with EUR 49 million in 2009, due to the adverse economic situation.

By continuing to strictly control costs, the Company reduced operating expenses by 2.4%, enabling profit from operations to more than double from EUR 57 million in 2009 to EUR 123 million in 2010.

Profit before tax stood at EUR 115 million in 2010, as compared with EUR 61 million in 2009. After deducting the estimated income tax, profit amounted to EUR 92 million compared to EUR 48 million in 2009.

Significant events for the Company after the reporting period

There were no significant events between the end of the reporting year and the date of preparation of the Company's financial statements.

Outlook for the Company

The outlook for the Spanish economy in 2011 is gloomy, although nearly all the business analysts and economic analysis institutions anticipate a slight upturn in domestic demand. In this respect, there are bright prospects for the advertising market, especially for television and internet.

From the audience standpoint, the four channels offer a very diverse and competitive range of contents. When we combine this with the very satisfactory transition to the new DTT services for the Neox, Nova and Nitro channels, the outlook for 2011 is promising. The reinforcement of its programmes will be a fundamental objective for Antena 3 if it is to maintain its already sharp competitive edge.

This strategy will be supplemented by additional developments of all the Internet activities and in any new audiovisual content broadcasting method. Cutting-edge technological tools will be used to harness the substantial value of the Antena 3 brand, and its great capability for creating and promoting contents, which was already being demonstrated in 2010.

Research and development activities

The Company did not carry out any specific research and development activities. However, it updates its investments in all new technologies related to engineering, systems and content distribution on an ongoing basis. In this field Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. has and uses state-of-the-art technology, which enables it to be at the forefront in the deployment of digital activities and internet.

Treasury share acquisitions

No transactions involving treasury shares were performed in 2010. The Company therefore continued to hold 10,555,640 treasury shares of EUR 0.75 par value each, representing 5% of the its share capital.

Use of financial instruments and main financial risks

The Company performs transactions with financial instruments mainly to hedge the foreign currency risk on the purchases of broadcasting rights in the year.

At 31 December 2010, the Company had arranged transactions to hedge its foreign currency asset and liability positions amounting to USD 40,235 thousand, at a weighted average exchange rate of EUR 1.3564/USD 1. The net fair value of these hedging financial instruments gave rise to a financial asset of EUR 930 thousand and a financial liability of EUR 444 thousand at 2010 year-end.

The Company has established the risk management systems required to ensure that transactions in markets are performed in accordance with the Company’s established policies, rules and procedures and within the limits approved in each case. The Company’s main financial risks are as follows:

a) Foreign currency risk. The Company’s foreign currency risks relate mainly to the payments to be made in international markets to acquire broadcasting rights. The Company arranges hedging instruments, mainly foreign currency hedges, to mitigate its foreign currency risk.

Page 52: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

b) Liquidity risk. The Company’s liquidity policy is to arrange credit lines and current investments that are sufficient to support its financial needs, on the basis of expected business performance.

c) Credit risk. The Company does not have a significant credit risk since the average customer collection period is very short and guarantees are required for deferred payment sales. Cash placements are made and derivative instruments are arranged with institutions of recognised solvency.

A).- As indicated in the 2010 Corporate Governance Report, following the admission of the Company’s shares for trading on the stock market, on 29 October 2003 Grupo Planeta- de Agostini, S.L. (then Kort Geding, S.L.) informed of the agreements entered into by it, Planeta Corporación, S.R.L. and DeA Multicom, S.L. with RTL Group Communications, S.R.L. and RTL Group, S.A. on 30 June 2003 whereby, in connection with A3TV, the parties adopted agreements relating to:

B).- On 25 May 2005, Kort Geding, S.L. provided information on the agreement entered into by its shareholders for the merger by absorption of Grupo Planeta- De Agostini, S.L. and DeA Multicom, S.L. by Kort Geding, S.L., and also its intention to change the latter’s company name to its current name Grupo Planeta de Agostini, S.L.

Page 55: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

The rules applicable to the appointment and replacement of the members of the managing body and to the amendment of the Company’s bylaws

The rules are as established in the Company bylaws and in the Board Regulations. Accordingly, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting appoint the members of the Board of Directors, as provided for in Legislative Royal Decree 1/2010, of 2 July, which approves the Consolidated Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, and in the Company bylaws. In the event of any vacancies the Board may appoint, from among the shareholders, the persons who are to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting is held.

Persons proposed to hold office as director must meet the requirements established at any given time in current legislation and in the bylaws, apart from having acknowledged professional prestige and possessing the expertise and experience required to discharge the related duties.

Persons who are subject to any legally established prohibition or incompatibility may not be Company directors.

The Board’s proposals for the nomination or re-appointment of directors that are put to the Annual General Meeting and also their provisional appointment by co-optation, must be preceded by the related Nomination and Remuneration Committee report.

As provided for in the bylaws, the term of office of director is six years, although directors may be re-appointed indefinitely for six-year mandates. When the term elapses, the appointment expires once the following Annual General Meeting is held or the statutory term for calling the Annual General Meeting has ended.

The appointment of directors by co-optation must be ratified by the shareholders at the first Annual General Meeting held after their appointment.

Directors shall be removed from office where the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting so resolve, where they tender their resignation to the Company and where the term for which they were appointed elapses.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting are exclusively responsible for amending the Company bylaws (Article 16.6 of the Bylaws), and such amendment is governed by Articles 286 to 290 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, with no specific situations being envisaged.

The following statutory requirements must be met: The directors or, as the case may be, the shareholders making the proposal must prepare a

report in writing supporting the amendment. The call notice must indicate with due clarity the main points to be amended and the right of all

shareholders to examine the full wording of the proposed amendment and the report thereon at the registered office and to request that such documents be provided to them or sent to them free of charge.

The resolution must be adopted by the shareholders at the Meeting, as provided for in Articles 194 and 201 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

If the resolution concerns a change in the company name, registered office, replacement of or any amendment to the Company object, it will be published on the Company’s website or, in the absence thereof, in two large-circulation newspapers in the respective province or provinces.

The resolution must be executed in a public deed, which will be registered at the Mercantile Registry and will be published in the Mercantile Registry Official Gazette.

The powers of the members of the Board of Directors and, in particular, those relating to the possibility of issuing or repurchasing shares

Both the Executive Committee and the Managing Director have been delegated all the powers of the Board of Directors, except for those that may not be delegated.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting have not adopted any resolutions permitting the issue of new Company shares and, therefore, no authority to carry out any issue of shares has been granted to the Board of Directors or to any of its members.

Page 56: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

Insofar as the purchase and sale of treasury shares is concerned, the following resolution was adopted on 24 March 2010 by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting:

To authorise the Company so that directly or through any of its subsidiaries it may acquire shares of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A., by any legally admissible means, including a charge to profit for the year and/or unrestricted reserves, and also that it may subsequently dispose of or retire such shares, as provided for in Article 75 and similar provisions of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, delegating to the Board of Directors the powers necessary to implement the resolutions adopted by the General Meeting in this connection.

The rules for the acquisition of such shares are as follows:

The par value of the shares acquired, added to the shares already held by Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and its subsidiaries, must not exceed the legally authorised maximum limit at any given time.

The acquisition, including all the treasury shares acquired earlier by the Company or the person acting on its behalf, must not reduce the equity to below the amount of the share capital plus the reserves that are restricted by law or by the bylaws. For these purposes, equity will be deemed to be the amount qualifying as such under the rules for the preparation of the financial statements, net of the profit directly recognised therein, and increased by the amount of uncalled subscribed share capital, and the amount of the nominal value and share premiums of the subscribed share capital recognised as a liability.

The shares acquired must be fully paid.

The acquisition price may not be less than the par value or 20 percent higher than the market price. Acquisitions must also comply with the rules and customs of the stock markets.

Express authorisation was granted for the shares acquired by the Company or by its subsidiaries, availing themselves of this authorisation, to be used in full or partially for delivery to the beneficiaries of future remuneration plans or those resulting from the exercise of option rights for the benefit of workers, employees or directors of the Company. The reason for this authorisation is expressly placed on record for the purpose of Article 75.1 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

The Board of Directors is empowered in the broadest terms, to use the authorisation forming the subject-matter of this resolution, and to implement and perform it to the full, being able to delegate these powers to the Executive Committee, to the managing director or to any other person that the Board expressly empowers for such purpose, with powers as broad as it sees fit.

This authorisation shall be valid for five years from the date of this Annual General Meeting, and the unimplemented portion thereof, granted to the Board of Directors by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of 25 March 2009, is rendered null and void.

Pursuant to Article 9.2.a).4. of the Regulations of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors is exclusively responsible for establishing the policy and limits for treasury shares, without prejudice to the possibility of delegating the specific implementation thereof to the Chairman, the Managing Director or the Financial Manager. Chapter V of the Internal Code of Conduct for matters relating to the stock markets also establishes rules on the management of treasury shares.

Page 57: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

Significant agreements entered into by the Company and which will come into force, be modified or be terminated in the event of a change in control of the Company resulting from a takeover bid, and their effects, except when disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the Company. This exception shall not apply when the Company is required by law to publish this information.

There are no agreements of this nature.

Agreements between the Company and its directors, management or employees which provide for termination benefits when the latter resign or are dismissed without justification or if the employment relationship ends as a result of a takeover bid

As a general rule, insofar as employees, performers and executives are concerned, the criteria and amounts of termination benefits established in the legislation applicable to each group are applied, where appropriate. Exceptionally, in some cases, following negotiation on an individual basis and where the Company may be particularly interested in hiring a certain professional, specific indemnity terms may be established on a transitional or permanent basis, in which the special circumstances of the hiring and its future termination are taken into account and valued accordingly. All such agreements are specific and there is no standard criterion applicable to them as a whole, except for the fact that they are exceptional.

The general rule is that in no case should a takeover bid in itself give rise to the termination of an employment contract and the related termination benefits.

Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Group activities

Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A., the Group's Parent, with registered office at Avenida Isla Graciosa, 13, San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid), was incorporated on 7 June 1988, and its then sole company object was the indirect management of a public television service.

For this purpose, it submitted a bid in response to the call for tenders made under Article 8 of Private Television Law 10/1988, of 3 May, and, pursuant to a resolution of the Spanish Cabinet of 25 August 1989, was awarded a concession for the indirect management of the public television service, for a period of ten years, which ended on 3 April 2000.

On 7 May 1996, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting resolved to change and extend the Parent's company object, as permitted by Satellite Telecommunications Law 37/1995.

On 10 March 2000, the Spanish Cabinet adopted a resolution renewing the concession for the indirect management of the public television service for a period of ten years from 3 April 2000. The terms of this renewal were the same as for the former concession, with the added obligation of commencing digital broadcasting on 3 April 2002. The Parent made all the necessary investments to enable it to begin broadcasting on that date the Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. signal pursuant to Royal Decree 2169/1998, of 9 October, which approved the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). On 3 April 2010, the National Government renewed, for a period of ten years, the concession for the indirect management of the public television service, under the same terms and conditions as the previous concession.

Additional Provision One of Royal Decree 944/2005, of 29 July, approving the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television established 3 April 2010 as the date for the switch-off of analogue television broadcasting in all the transition projects defined in the National Plan for the Transition to Digital Terrestrial Television. From that date onwards, all terrestrial television was broadcast using digital technology.

Following this milestone, in accordance with Additional Provision Three of Royal Decree 944/2005, of 29 July, each national terrestrial public television service concession operator would gain access to a digital multiplex with national coverage.

Royal Decree 365/2010, of 26 March, governs the allocation of the Digital Terrestrial Television multiplexes following the switch-off of terrestrial television broadcasting using analogue technology.

It established two phases for the allocation of the digital multiplexes. Phase 1, (transitional), in which each national terrestrial public service television concession operator would gain access to the capacity equivalent to one digital multiplex with national coverage, provided they demonstrated that they had met the terms and conditions established in relation to the drive and development of digital terrestrial television, and phase 2, in which new digital multiplexes will be planned, and adjustments will be established so that the radioelectric channels 61 to 69, which were being used by the digital multiplexes in the previous phase can be replaced by others in phase 2. This will conclude before 1 January 2015 with the allocation of the definitive digital multiplexes to each qualifying company, thereby ending the shared use of digital multiplex capacity by the national terrestrial public service concession operators.

On 16 July 2010, the Spanish Cabinet adopted a resolution to allocate a national digital multiplex to each national DTT concession operator: Antena 3, Gestevisión Telecinco, Sogecable, Veo Televisión, NET TV and La Sexta. The digital multiplex is composed of four digital television channels that can be operated twenty-four hours a day.

The allocation was made upon request and after the switch-off of analogue broadcasting, once it had been verified that the digital terrestrial television service concession operators had met the obligations relating to the drive and development of digital terrestrial television that they had assumed in the framework of the Spanish Technical Plan for Digital Terrestrial Television and the Royal Decree governing the specific allocation of DTT multiplexes, following the switch-off of analogue terrestrial television broadcasting.

In any event, the definitive multiplex will be accessed by 1 January 2015, in accordance with the phases established in the Royal Decree.

In relation to the renewal of the public radio broadcasting service concessions operated by Uniprex, S.A., (Sole-Shareholder Company), to date, applications have been submitted to the competent authorities, in accordance with the legislation in force, for the renewal of concessions about to expire and for authorisation of a change of operator in other concessions. In certain cases the renewal of the concession was granted expressly, whereas in others it was obtained by the administrative silence route after the pertinent appeals were filed with a higher

administrative body, in accordance with Article 43 of the Public Authorities and Common Administrative Procedure Law.

The other Group companies engage mainly in activities relating to the production, reproduction and broadcasting of sounds and images (see Note 2-b).

The Parent's Annual General Meeting and its Board of Directors Meeting, on 28 April 2003 and 29 July 2003, respectively, resolved to request the admission to trading of all the shares of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges and their inclusion in the Spanish Stock Market Interconnection System. On 29 October 2003, the Parent's shares commenced trading on these stock exchanges.

The Parent is obliged to prepare, in addition to its own separate financial statements, the Group’s consolidated financial statements, which also include its interests in joint ventures and investments in associates.

In view of the business activities carried on by the companies, they do not have any environmental liability, expenses, assets, provisions or contingencies that might be material with respect to the equity, financial position and results of operations of the corporate Group. Therefore, no specific disclosures relating to environmental issues are included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.

2. Basis of presentation of the financial statements and basis of consolidation

a) Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared, on the basis of the accounting records kept by the Parent and by the other Group companies, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU-IFRSs), in conformity with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The Group's consolidated financial statements were prepared taking into account all the mandatory accounting policies and rules and measurement bases with a material effect on the consolidated financial statements, as well as the alternative treatments permitted by the relevant standards in this connection, and, accordingly, they present fairly the Group's consolidated equity and financial position at 31 December 2010 and the results of its operations, the changes in consolidated equity and the consolidated cash flows in the year then ended.

However, since the accounting policies and measurement bases used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2010 (EU-IFRSs) differ from those used by the Group companies (Spanish National Chart of Accounts), the required adjustments and reclassifications were made on consolidation to unify the policies and methods used and to make them compliant with EU-IFRSs.

In addition to the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the EU (EU-IFRSs), all the requirements included in the Spanish Commercial Code and the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law were applied in these consolidated financial statements, as well as such other aspects of Spanish accounting regulations in force as might be applicable.

The 2010 consolidated financial statements of the Group and the 2010 separate financial statements of the Group companies, which were prepared by the companies' respective directors, will be submitted for approval by the related shareholders at the respective Annual General Meetings, and it is considered that they will be approved without any changes.

The 2009 consolidated financial statements, which were approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 24 March 2010 and are included for comparison purposes, were also prepared in accordance with EU-IFRSs applied on a basis consistent with that of 2010.

The standards and interpretations that came into force in 2010 and that were taken into account in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described below:

Annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010

Improvements to IFRSs (published in May 2008) Amendments to a series of standards

The amendment to IFRS 5 (clarifying the application of IFRS 5 when control of a subsidiary is lost) is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009 (1).

Improvements to IFRSs (published in April 2009) Amendments to a series of standards

All the changes are obligatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 in the EU (original IASB date: most changes obligatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010; some obligatory for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)

(1) The other amendments were already applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009.

Interpretations Obligatory Application in the Annual Reporting Periods Beginning On or After:

IFRIC 12 Service Concession Arrangements

1 April 2009 for the companies in the EU (original IASB date: annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008)

IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate

Page 70: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

9

These amendments relate to the recognition of share-based payment transactions among group entities. The main change is that the amendments incorporate the previous requirements set out in IFRIC 8 and IFRIC 11 and, accordingly, these interpretations will be withdrawn since their content is included in the main body of the standard. It is clarified that an entity that receives services from employees or suppliers should account for the transaction even if another group entity settles the arrangement and regardless of whether it is cash-settled or equity-settled.

In view of the nature of these amendments, they did not have any impact on the Group’s financial statements.

IFRIC 12, Service concession arrangements

Service concession arrangements are arrangements whereby a government or other public sector entity grants contracts for the provision of public services, such as roads, airports and water and power supplies to private sector operators. The government retains control over the assets but the private operator is responsible for the construction, management, servicing and maintenance of the public infrastructure. IFRIC 12 establishes how the concession operators must apply the existing IFRSs when accounting for the rights and obligations assumed under arrangements of this type, which in accordance with this interpretation may give rise to the recognition of a financial asset or an intangible asset, or both, depending on the conditions established in each arrangement.

The entry into force of this interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate

This interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate, helping to clarify when an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11, Construction Contracts and when it is within the scope of IAS 18, Revenue and, therefore, depending on the nature of the agreement, when and how the revenue should be recognised.

The entry into force of this interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 16, Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

This interpretation addresses three main issues. Firstly, it states that hedge accounting may not be applied to the foreign exchange differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the parent entity's presentation currency, and that it may be applied only to the foreign exchange differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the parent entity's functional currency. It also clarifies that the hedging instrument in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation may be held by any entity within the group, and not necessarily by the parent entity of the foreign operation. Lastly, it explains how to determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss when a hedged foreign operation is disposed of.

The Company's accounting practice in transactions of this nature is in line with the interpretation issued and, therefore, the entry into force of the interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

This interpretation applies to the accounting treatment of distributions of non-cash assets to an entity's owners (“dividends payable”) although distributions of assets within the same group or between entities under common control are excluded from its scope. The interpretation states that an entity must measure such liabilities at the fair value of the asset to be distributed and that any difference between the carrying amount of the dividend payable and the carrying amount of the asset distributed must be recognised in profit or loss.

The entry into force of this interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, since their entry into force on 1 January 2010, the Group has applied the following standards and interpretations which gave rise to a change in the Group’s accounting policies:

Revision of IFRS 3, Business Combinations and amendments to IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The revised IFRS 3 and the amendments to IAS 27 give rise to very significant changes in several matters relating to accounting for business combinations which, in general, place greater emphasis on the use of fair value. Some of the most significant changes relate to the treatment of acquisition-related costs, which must be accounted for as expenses, as opposed to the current accounting treatment of recognising them as an increase in the cost of the business combination; business combinations achieved in stages, in which the acquirer must remeasure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value; and the option to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value, as opposed to the single

Page 71: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

10

current treatment of measuring them at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets acquired.

Since the standard will be applied prospectively, the directors do not expect any significant modifications to arise in connection with the business combinations performed prior to 1 January 2010.

Amendment to IAS 39, Eligible Hedged Items

This amendment to IAS 39 aims to clarify two specific hedge accounting issues: (a) identifying when inflation can be a hedged risk, and (b) when purchased options can be designated as hedging instruments. Under the amendment, inflation can only be identified as a hedged risk if it is a contractually specified portion of the cash flows to be hedged. Only the intrinsic risk and not the time value of an option may be hedged.

The entry into force of this interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 18, Transfers of Assets from Customers

This interpretation applies to the accounting for agreements in which an entity receives from a customer an asset that the entity must then use to provide the customer with access to supplies of goods or services. Under the interpretation, the transferred item of property, plant and equipment is recognised, at its fair value on the date of transfer, in the financial statements of the recipient, provided it meets the definition of an asset from the perspective of that entity; and the corresponding revenue is recognised in profit or loss when appropriate, on the basis of the service specifically agreed on with the customer.

The entry into force of this interpretation did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet in force:

At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the following standards and interpretations had been published by the IASB but had not yet come into force, either because their effective date is subsequent to the date of the consolidated financial statements or because they had not yet been adopted by the European Union:

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: classification and measurement

IFRS 9 will in the future replace the current part of IAS 39 relating to classification and measurement. There are very significant differences with respect to the current standard, in relation to financial assets, including the approval of a new classification model based on only two categories, namely instruments measured at amortised cost and those measured at fair value, the disappearance of the current “held-to-maturityinvestments” and “available-for-sale financial assets” categories, impairment analyses only for assets measured at amortised cost and the non-separation of embedded derivatives in financial asset contracts. In relation to financial liabilities, the classification categories proposed by IFRS 9 are similar to those currently contained in IAS 39.

At the reporting date, the future impact of the adoption of this standard had not yet been analysed.

Amendment of IAS 32, Classification of rights Issues

This amendment relates to the classification of foreign currency denominated rights issues (rights, options or warrants). Pursuant to this amendment, when these rights are offered to all owners and are to acquire a fixed number of shares in exchange for a fixed amount, they are equity instruments, irrespective of the currency in which that fixed amount is denominated and provided that other specific requirements of the standard are fulfilled.

Since the Group has not issued any instruments of this nature, this amendment will not have any impact.

IAS 24 (Revised), Related Party Disclosures

The revised IAS 24 provides a partial exemption from certain disclosure requirements when the transactions are between government-related entities (or entities related to an equivalent government institution) and revises the scope applicable to the disclosure requirements by including in the definition of “related party” certain relationships between joint ventures and associates of the same entity which were not explicit in the previous version of the standard.

The impact of this amendment has been analysed and will not result in any change in the related parties currently defined by the Group.

IFRIC 19, Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments

This interpretation addresses the accounting by a debtor when all or part of a financial liability is extinguished through the issue of equity instruments to the creditor. The interpretation does not apply to transactions in situations where the counterparties in question are shareholders or related parties, acting in their capacity as such, or where extinguishing the financial liability by issuing equity shares is in accordance with the original terms of the financial liability. In all cases, the equity instruments issued are measured at fair value at the date the liability is extinguished and any difference between this value and the carrying amount of the liability is recognised in profit or loss.

This interpretation will not give rise to a change in the Group’s accounting policies.

Amendment of IAS 12, Income taxes – Deferred taxes relating to investment property

The amendment introduces an exception to the general principles of IAS 12 affecting deferred taxes relating to investment property measured in accordance with the fair value model of IAS 40 Investment property. In these cases, for the purpose of calculating the applicable deferred taxes, a presumption is introduced that the full recovery of the carrying amount of such assets will be through their sale.

This amendment will not foreseeably have an impact for the Company, since a preliminary analysis indicates that it will not give rise to a change in the deferred taxes currently recognised in relation to the investment property on the balance sheet.

The directors have assessed the potential impact of applying these standards in the future and estimate that their entry into force will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Responsibility for the information and use of estimates

The information in these consolidated financial statements is the responsibility of the Group's directors.

In the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2010 estimates were occasionally made in order to quantify certain of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations reported herein.

Page 73: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

12

These estimates relate basically to the following:

The impairment losses on certain assets (see Notes 5, 6, 8 and 9),

The useful life of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Notes 3-b and 3-c),

The measurement of goodwill arising on consolidation (see Note 4),

Programme amortisation (see Note 3-d),

The fair value of certain unquoted assets (see Notes 7 and 13), and

Provisions (see Note 11)

Although these estimates were made on the basis of the best information available at 31 December 2010 on the events analysed, events that may take place in the future might make it necessary to change these estimates (upwards or downwards) in coming years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively, recognising the effects of the change in estimates in the related consolidated income statements.

At 31 December 2010, the Group had a working capital deficiency. However, the directors of the Parent estimate that the cash flows generated by the business and the financing lines available will enable the Group to meet its short-term liabilities.

adjustments to adapt the accounting policies used to those applied by the Group and adjustments and eliminations relating to intra-Group transactions.

The Group considers that it exercises control over a company when it has sufficient power to govern its financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the date of acquisition to year-end.

Associates

The associates over which Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. does not exercise control but over which it has the capacity to exercise significant influence in their management, normally through agreements with other shareholders, were accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Using this consolidation method, the investment is recognised at cost, including any goodwill arising on the acquisition, and is subsequently adjusted on the basis of the changes in its equity, in proportion to the percentage of ownership that corresponds to the Group. The Group’s share of the results of these companies is recognised, net of the related tax effect, under “Share of Results of Associates” in the consolidated income statement, and any dividends received from these companies are deducted from the value of the investment.

These associates are as follows:

Changes in the scope of consolidation and main transactions in 2010:

On 14 January 2010, the Parent acquired an additional 4.17% of the subsidiary VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), for EUR 42 thousand, thereby increasing the percentage of ownership to 100%. In accordance with revised IAS 27, this transaction, which did not give rise to a change in control, was recognised in equity.

Uniprex Televisió Digital Terrestre Catalana, S.L., a subsidiary of Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), was dissolved under a deed of liquidation of 11 June 2010. The result of the aforementioned transaction was a loss of EUR 2 thousand in the consolidated financial statements and a loss of EUR 6 thousand at the Parent.

Canal Radio Castilla-León, S.L. was also dissolved under a deed of liquidation of 11 June 2010. The aforementioned transaction did not give rise to any gain or loss in the consolidated financial statements, whereas the parent, Canal Media Radio, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) recognised a gain of EUR 12 thousand.

Other changes not affecting the scope of consolidation in 2010:

In June 2010 the investments in Antena 3 Colombia, S.A. and Canal 3 Televisión de Colombia were increased with a cost of EUR 72 thousand and EUR 5 thousand, respectively, although there was no increase in the percentage of ownership interest in these companies. These investments were acquired for the purpose of participating in the invitation to tender for a television channel in Colombia.

Changes in the scope of consolidation and main transactions in 2009:

On 31 March 2009, Canal Radio Madrid, S.L., Canal Radio Baleares, S.L. and Radio Media Aragón, S.L. were included in the scope of consolidation. These companies were acquired by Canal Media Radio, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) on 14 September 2000, 18 September 2000 and 1 October 2000, respectively.

The Parent held these ownership interests indirectly from the date of first-time consolidation of the Uniprex subgroup. However, for the first time in 2009 the consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of these companies since the relevant licence had been obtained for the provision of radio broadcasting services by the parent of the higher group, Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company).

The cost of the investment in these companies amounted to EUR 3 thousand per share. The effect of the aforementioned inclusion was not material to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and their assets and recognised liabilities amounted to EUR 47 thousand and EUR 29 thousand, respectively. In addition, the results for the year contributed by these companies to the acquirer from the date of inclusion in the scope of consolidation did not differ from the results that would have been recognised had the companies been consolidated from 1 January 2009, since their results from 1 January 2009 were recognised.

At 31 December 2009, the decreases in ownership interests in subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates and other transactions of a similar nature are reflected in the following table:

On 5 June 2009, the plan for the merger of Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) (absorbing company) with the subsidiaries Unión Ibérica de Radio, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Compañía Tres Mil Ochocientos, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Radio Alamedilla, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Grupo Universal Emisoras de Radio Amanecer, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) La Veu de Lleida, S.L., (Sole-Shareholder Company), Ondadit, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company) and Radio Tormes, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) (absorbed) was executed in a public deed.

The absorbing company recognised the assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies in its accounts following criteria based on current consolidation rules and the goodwill arising from the consolidation of these companies.

Corporación Radiofónica Región de Murcia, S.L. was dissolved under a deed of liquidation of 31 March 2009. The results of the aforementioned transaction were a loss of EUR 34 thousand in the consolidated financial statements compared with a gain of EUR 23 thousand corresponding to its parent.

Antena 3 Temática, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) was dissolved under a deed of liquidation of 30 October 2009. The results of the aforementioned transaction were a gain of EUR 156 thousand in the consolidated financial statements whereas its parent recognised a gain of EUR 4 thousand.

At 31 December, the reclassifications of companies among the various groups of investments were as follows:

On 1 December VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L., which had been accounted for using the equity method and whose results had been reclassified as held-for-sale assets, was fully consolidated since the

Page 77: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

16

management agreement with the non-controlling shareholder was terminated and it was decided not to sell this company.

Other changes not affecting the scope of consolidation in 2009:

In April 2009 the investments in Antena 3 Colombia, S.A. and Canal 3 Televisión de Colombia, S.A. wereincreased but the percentage of ownership interest in them did not increase. As mentioned previously, these investments were acquired for the purpose of participating in the invitation to tender for a television channel in Colombia.

Investments held for sale

A company is classified as held for sale when the investment in that company is recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the company is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Accordingly, a decision should have been taken to sell it and the sale should be expected to be completed within one year.

Main transactions in 2010:

In 2010 the Parent decided to continue managing Guadiana Producciones, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company, which means that rather than classifying the company as held for sale, it is fully consolidated.

Antena 3 Directo, S.A.U. was the only company that continued to be classified as held for sale at 2010 year-end.

Main transactions in 2009:

On 12 March 2009, the change of name from V Sat, Compañía de Producciones, S.L. to Gloway Broadcast Services, S.L. was executed in a public deed.

On 15 September 2009, 5.98% of the share capital of Gloway Broadcast Services, S.L. was acquired for EUR 158 thousand, thereby increasing the percentage of ownership to 100%. The result of accounting for the assets and liabilities using the equity method was recognised as available-for-sale financial assets until the ownership interest was sold.

On 12 November 2009, following the approval of the Spanish Competition Commission of the transfer of shares, the transfer of the entire ownership interest in Gloway Broadcast Services, S.L. for EUR 6,361 thousand was executed in a public deed. The gain recognised under “Net Gain on Non-Current Assets” in the consolidated income statement amounted to EUR 885 thousand (see Note 18) (EUR 388 thousand in the Parent’s income statement).

In addition, and as indicated previously, the decision to continue to manage VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L. gave rise to its reclassification as a subsidiary and its full consolidation.

3. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements, in accordance with EU-IFRSs, were as follows:

a) Goodwill on consolidation

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of acquisition, plus the non-controlling interests and fair value of any previous investment in the acquiree, over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

The assets and liabilities acquired are measured provisionally at the date on which control of the company is obtained, and the resulting value is reviewed within a maximum of one year from the acquisition date until the fair value of the assets and liabilities has been calculated definitively. Any difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the assets acquired will be temporarily recognised as goodwill.

Goodwill acquired on or after 1 January 2004 is measured at acquisition cost and that acquired earlier is recognised at the carrying amount at 31 December 2003. In both cases, at the end of each reporting period goodwill is reviewed for impairment (i.e. a reduction in its recoverable amount to below its carrying amount),

Page 78: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

17

and, if there is any impairment, the goodwill is written down with a charge to “Net Impairment Losses” in the accompanying consolidated income statement.

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill must not be reversed in a subsequent period.

b) Other intangible assets

Administrative concessions

”Administrative Concessions” includes mainly the cost assigned to administrative concessions for radio broadcasting acquired by Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) and by Publicidad 3, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company). The amount recognised in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet relates to the expenses incurred to directly obtain the concession from the State or from the related public body. This amount is being amortised on a straight-line basis over the initial concession period of the licence.

Computer software

The acquisition and development costs incurred by third parties in relation to the basic computer systems used in the Group's management are recognised with a charge to “Other Intangible Assets” in the consolidated balance sheet.

Computer system maintenance costs are recognised with a charge to the consolidated income statement for the year in which they are incurred.

Computer software is amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of between three and five years from the entry into service of each application, on the basis of its estimated useful life.

Audiovisual productions

“Audiovisual Productions” relates to the costs incurred by the Group in relation to film productions. The carrying amount includes the production costs incurred in relation to the remuneration paid to co-producers and the launch and initial marketing costs. The Group begins to amortise the films from the date of commercial release or from the date on which the rating certificate is obtained. Each film production is amortised on an annual basis over the first commercial cycle of the film, which the Group considers to be four years. Accordingly, at each year-end the amortised percentage until that date is approximately the same as the percentage of the income generated until then with respect to the present value of the estimated total income for that period. The Group recognises the appropriate impairment losses to write down the carrying amounts of these film productions when it is considered necessary based on future marketing expectations.

Since the activities relating to the acquisition, production and marketing of audiovisual productions are part of the Group's normal operations, the amortisation charges to consolidated profit or loss are included under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements”. Acquisitions of productions are classified asinvestment activities in the statement of cash flows since the related amounts are recovered over various years.

c) Property, plant and equipment

Land and buildings acquired for the performance of the Group's business activity or for administrative purposes are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at acquisition or production cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment losses.

Replacements or renewals of complete items that lead to a lengthening of the useful life of the assets or to an increase in their economic capacity are recognised as additions to property, plant and equipment, and the items replaced or renewed are derecognised.

Periodic maintenance, upkeep and repair expenses are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis as incurred.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognised impairment loss.

Depreciation is calculated, using the straight-line method, on the basis of the acquisition cost of the assets less their residual value; the land on which the buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite useful life and, therefore, is not depreciated.

Page 79: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

18

The period property, plant and equipment depreciation charge is recognised in the consolidated income statement using the straight-line method at rates based on the following average years of estimated useful life of the various assets:

Years of useful life

Buildings 33Plant 5 to 8Machinery and tools 6 to 10Furniture 10Computer hardware 3 to 7Transport equipment and other items of property, plant and equipment

5 to 10

Assets held under finance leases are recognised in the corresponding asset category and are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where shorter, over the term of the relevant lease.

Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

At each balance sheet date, or whenever there is any indication of impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, the Group performs an impairment test to estimate the possible loss of value that reduces the recoverable amount of the assets to below their carrying amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

In the case of property, plant and equipment and audiovisual productions, impairment is calculated item by item, on an individual basis.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Such reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income.

d) Programme rights

Programme rights are valued, based on their nature, as follows:

1. Inventoriable in-house productions (programmes produced to be re-run, such as series) are measured at acquisition and/or production cost, which includes both external costs billed by third parties for programme production and for the acquisition of resources, and internal production costs, which are calculated by applying pre-established internal rates on the basis of the time during which operating resources are used in production. The costs incurred in producing the programmes are recognised, based on their nature, under the appropriate headings in the consolidated income statement and are included under “Programme Rights” in the consolidated balance sheet with a credit to “AmountsRecognised as Programme Rights” under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements” in the accompanying consolidated income statement.

Amortisation of these programmes is recognised under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements” in the consolidated income statement, on the basis of the number of showings, at the rates shown below:

Amortisation rate

1st showing 90 %2nd showing 10 %

The maximum period for the amortisation of series is three years, after which the unamortised amount is written off.

Given their special nature, the series which are broadcast daily are amortised in full when the first showing of each episode is broadcast.

2. Non-inventoriable in-house productions (programmes produced to be shown only once) are measured using the same methods and procedures as those used to measure inventoriable in-house productions. Programmes produced and not shown are recognised at year-end under “Programme Rights - In-House Productions and Productions in Process” in the consolidated balance sheet. The cost of these programmes is recognised as an expense under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements” in the consolidated income statement at the time of the first showing.

3. Rights on outside productions (films, series and other similar productions) are measured at acquisition cost. These rights are deemed to have been acquired when the term of the right commences for the Group.

When payments to outside production distributors are made in foreign currency, these rights are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate prevailing when the term of the right commences.

Also, the initial value of all the outside productions acquired by the Group for which derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges pursuant to IAS 39 were arranged in order to hedge foreign currency risk includes:

the portion of the accumulated loss or gain recognised in equity (effective hedge) on the hedging instrument on at the beginning of the hedge.

for payments made prior to the commencement of the hedges, the accumulated exchange gains or losses on that date.

The amortisation of the rights is recognised under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements” in the consolidated income statement, on the basis of the number of showings, at the rates shown below, which are established on the basis of the number of showings contracted:

4. Live broadcasting rights are measured at cost. The cost of these rights is recognised as an expense under “Programme Amortisation and Other Procurements” in the consolidated income statement at the time of broadcast of the event on which the rights were acquired.

Advances on purchases of rights

Payments made to acquire outside productions are recognised under “Programme Rights - Advances on Purchases of Rights” in the consolidated balance sheet and if such payments are in foreign currency they are translated to euros at the year-end exchange rate.

Provisions

The Group recognises write-downs to reduce the unamortised value of in-house productions and of the rights on outside productions which it considers will not be shown. When these rights expire, the valuation adjustments are recognised in profit or loss when the cost of the rights is derecognised.

Classification of programme rights

In accordance with standard practice in the industry in which the corporate Group operates, programme rights are classified as current assets and the portion that is amortised over more than one year is detailed in Note 8.

e) Non-current assets and liabilities classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

The Group classifies under this heading in the consolidated balance sheet the non-current assets and disposal groups whose carrying amount is expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. The assets classified in this category at 31 December 2010 were those relating to Antena 3 Directo, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company).

The non-current assets of discontinued operations are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and market value.

The non-current liabilities of discontinued operations include the fair value of the liabilities associated with the aforementioned assets which are expected to be settled at short term.

f) Classification of financial assets and liabilities as current or non-current

In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, financial assets and liabilities are classified on the basis of the time in which it is estimated that they will be realised or settled, i.e. financial assets and liabilities that are expected to be realised or settled over the course of the company's normal business cycle or within no more than 12 months are classified as current items, and those which do not meet these requirements are classified as non-current items.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current regardless of when they are expected to be realised or settled.

g) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at the amount invoiced.

In calculating such valuation adjustments as might be required for trade and other receivables, the Group takes into account the date on which the receivables are due to be settled and the equity position of related debtors.

Financial assets are derecognised when they expire or when the rights on the cash flows from the related financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, such as firm asset sales.

h) Derivative instruments

All the derivatives held by the Group at 31 December 2010 were OTC derivatives, whose prices are not quoted on organised futures and options markets and, therefore, it is necessary to apply generally accepted valuation techniques, based on objective market data, used in the measurement of financial instruments of this nature.

Foreign currency hedging contracts are valued using the spot exchange rate and the forward interest rate curves of the related currencies. The “market” foreign currency hedge is calculated at year-end and is compared with the price of the foreign currency hedge arranged.

Page 82: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

21

Foreign exchange hedges

The derivative financial instruments held by the Group companies are basically cash flow hedges arranged to mitigate the exposure of the cash flows associated with outside production rights to fluctuations in the US dollar/euro exchange rate.

Hedging instruments are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and the changes therein are recognised directly in equity, for the effective portion, as provided for in IAS 39. When the term of the broadcasting rights designated as a hedged item commences, the associated gains or losses on the derivative that had previously been recognised in equity are included in the initial measurement of the asset and from then on any change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognised directly in profit or loss for the year.

The Group companies periodically test the effectiveness of the outstanding hedges and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement, under financial profit or loss.

If a hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to net profit or loss for the year.

Equity swap and interest rate hedges

In order to cover the increased costs of the three-year variable remuneration plan that would arise as a result of an increase in the Parent's share price, an equity swap was arranged in 2006 which meets the requirements for hedge accounting as provided for in IAS 39. In 2007 an interest rate hedge was arranged to hedge fluctuations in the floating interest rate on the equity swap, changes in the value of which are recognised directly in profit or loss.

When the last payment under the three-year variable remuneration plan was made in July 2009, these swaps were recognised in profit or loss and did not have any effect on the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2009 or 31 December 2010.

i) Treasury shares

All the treasury shares of the Parent at 31 December 2010 represented 5.00% of the issued share capital at that date (the treasury share transactions performed in 2010 and 2009 are summarised in Note 10-d). The amount relating to these treasury shares is recognised as a reduction of equity.

Acquisitions or sales of treasury shares (see Note 10-d) are charged or credited to equity at the amount paid or received, respectively, and, therefore, the gains or losses arising from these transactions are not reflected in the income statement but are recognised as an addition to or a reduction of equity, respectively.

j) Costs deriving from the three-year variable remuneration plan

The Group charges the amount incurred in the year in connection with the implementation of the three-year variable remuneration plan to “Staff Costs” or “Other Operating Expenses” in the accompanying consolidated income statement, based on the employment relationship or the services contract of the beneficiaries, with a credit to “Other Non-Current Liabilities” and “Other Current Liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The three-year variable remuneration and loyalty-building plan for the directors and executives of the Antena 3 Group was settled in full in 2009 and, accordingly, there were no liabilities in connection with obligations of this nature at the end of 2010 and 2009.

k) Bank borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans, credit facilities and overdrafts are recorded at the amount received. Borrowing costs are recognised in the consolidated income statement on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the liability to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

l) Termination benefits

Under current employment legislation, the Group companies are required to pay termination benefits to employees terminated under certain conditions. The Parent’s directors do not expect any liabilities to arise other than those already recognised in this connection.

m) Provisions

Page 83: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

22

The present obligations arising from past events which could give rise to a loss for the Group which is uncertain as to its amount and timing are recognised as provisions in the consolidated balance sheet at the present value of the most probable amount that it is considered the Group will have to disburse to settle the obligation.

Provisions are quantified taking into consideration the best information available at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements on the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are reestimated at the end of each year.

n) Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue and expenses are recognised on an accrual basis.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents the value of the goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales-related taxes.

The Group companies basically obtain revenue from the sale of advertising space; this revenue is recognised in the consolidated income statement when the related advertising spot is broadcast.

o) Income taxes; deferred taxes

The current income tax expense is calculated by aggregating the current tax arising from the application of the tax rate to the taxable profit (tax loss) for the year, after deducting the tax credits allowable for tax purposes, plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

In general, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, whereas deferred tax assets (including those relating to temporary differences and tax loss and tax credit carryforwards) are only recognised to the extent that it is considered probable that the consolidated companies will have sufficient taxable profits in the future against which the deferred tax assets can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled. The current rate is 30% for 2010 and subsequent years.

In 2001 the Group began to file consolidated tax returns. Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. is the Parent of this consolidated tax group (see Note 20).

p) Foreign currency transactions

The Group's functional currency is the euro. Therefore, transactions in currencies other than the euro are deemed to be “foreign currency transactions” and are recognised by applying the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

q) Consolidated statements of cash flows

The following terms are used in the consolidated statements of cash flows with the meanings specified:

Cash flows: inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Operating activities: the principal revenue-producing activities of the Company and other activities that are not investing or financing activities.

Investing activities: the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

Financing activities: activities that result in changes in the size and composition of equity and borrowings that are not operating activities.

r) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the number of shares of the Parent held by the Group.

Page 84: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

23

The Group has not carried out transactions of any kind that have led to diluted earnings per share differing from basic earnings per share (see Note 22).

s) Dividends

At the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2010, the shareholders of the Parent approved the proposed distribution of profit for 2009, whereby EUR 46,129 thousand were to be paid out as dividends, EUR 16,045 thousand of which related to the interim dividend paid on 10 December 2009. The remaining EUR 30,084 thousand related to the payment of a final dividend in the aforementioned year.

On 27 October 2010, the Board of Directors of the Parent approved the distribution out of the Parent’s profit for 2010 of a EUR 0.20 gross per share dividend, implying a total dividend of EUR 40,111 thousand, which was paid to the shareholders on 18 November 2010.

However, the final dividend, if any, proposed by the Board of Directors of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting is not deducted from equity until it has been finally approved by the latter.

4. Goodwill

The changes in “Goodwill” in the consolidated balance sheets in 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

The Group periodically assesses the recoverability of the goodwill described in the foregoing table on the basis of three cash-generating units based on the businesses of its subsidiaries: television, radio, organisation of sports events and other. The goodwill of Unipublic, S.A. and its subsidiary Organizaciones Deportivas y Culturales Unipublic, S.A.U. included in the latter category is reclassified, in accordance with the accounting regulations, under “Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method” on the asset side of the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company uses the strategic plans of the various businesses to calculate any possible impairment and discounts expected future cash flows. The Group prepares the various projections individually, taking into account the expected future cash flows of each cash-generating unit.

For the television and radio units, the key assumptions on which the cash flow projections are based relate mainly to advertising markets, audience, advertising efficiency ratios and the evolution of expenses. Except for advertising data, which is measured on the basis of external sources of information, the assumptions are based on past experience and reasonable projections.

These future projections cover the next four or five years. The cash flows for the years not considered in the projections are estimated to be perpetual, with growth of 1%-2%.

In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets. In order to calculate the rate, the current value of money and the risk premiums generally used by analysts for the business and geographical area are taken into account, giving rise to future discount rates of 9%-9.5%.

For the organisation of sports and other events unit, the key assumptions on which the cash flow projections are based relate mainly to advertising markets and the evolution of expenses. These assumptions are based on past experience and on reasonable projections based on the knowledge of the industry. These future projections cover the next four or five years. The cash flows for the years not considered in the projections are estimated to

Page 85: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

24

be perpetual, with growth of 2.5%. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets, by applying a future discount rate of 9%-9.5%.

The changes in goodwill in 2009 were due mainly to the merger of Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) (the absorbing company) with the subsidiaries Unión Ibérica de Radio, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Compañía Tres Mil Ochocientos, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Radio Alamedilla, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Grupo Universal Emisoras de Radio Amanecer, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) La Veu de Lleida, S.L., (Sole-Shareholder Company), Ondadit, S.L., (Sole-Shareholder Company) and Radio Tormes, S.A., (Sole-Shareholder Company) (the absorbed companies). The absorbing company recognised the assets and liabilities of the absorbed companies in its accounts following criteria based on current consolidation rules, recognising the goodwill that arose from the consolidation of these companies.

The assets and liabilities of VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L., which had been accounted for using the equity method and whose results had been reclassified as non-current assets held for sale, were fully consolidated in 2009 and, accordingly, the excess cost paid for it was transferred to goodwill (see Note 2-b).

Based on the methods used and the available estimates, projections and valuations, the Company’s directors consider that none of these assets became impaired in 2010.

5. Other intangible assets

The changes as a result of changes in the scope of consolidation in 2009 related mainly to the assets of VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L.

At 31 December 2010, fully depreciated property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 131,943 thousand (2009: EUR 119,723 thousand). The Group does not have any temporarily idle items.

The Group has taken out insurance policies to cover the possible risks to which its property, plant and equipment are subject and the claims that might be filed against it for carrying on its business activities. These policies are considered to adequately cover the related risks.

At 31 December 2010, after assessing the goodwill of Unipublic, S.A. in accordance with the methods described in Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements, the Parent’s directors considered that this asset had suffered impairment amounting to EUR 5,500 thousand and, therefore, this goodwill was written down appropriately with a charge to “Net Impairment Losses" in the accompanying consolidated income statement.

The inclusions in the scope of consolidation in 2009 related mainly to the change in the consolidation method of VNews Agencia de Noticias, S.L., since this company held financial interests in other companies.

These assets are measured at fair value. None of the Group's investees are listed on Spanish or foreign stock exchanges.

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Programme rights, netRights on outside productions 118,090 148,830In-house productions and programmes in process 36,397 28,872Sports broadcasting rights 3,214 3,214Impairment losses (21,238) (26,177)

136,463 154,739

Advances to suppliers 32,637 27,251

Total 169,100 181,990

At 31 December 2010, the Parent had commitments, mainly for the purchase of audiovisual property rights, amounting to EUR 36,271 thousand (2009: EUR 34,861 thousand). In addition, the Parent has purchase commitments to distributors, the definitive amount and price of which will be determined once the programmes are produced and, in certain cases, by establishing the acquisition price on the basis of box-office takings. The best estimate of these commitments amounts to EUR 45,633 thousand (2009: EUR 26,605 thousand).

Most of the programme rights on inventoriable in-house and outside productions at the end of 2010 are estimated to be amortised in 2011.

As described in Note 3-d, the Group recognises write-downs to reduce the unamortised value of programme rights. The effect on the consolidated income statement for 2010 amounted to EUR 5,042 thousand (2009: 12,401 thousand).

9. Trade and other receivables

The detail of “Trade and Other Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Trade receivables 247,100 215,836Receivable from associates and related companies 1,721 3,657Other accounts receivable 4,114 2,348

Total 252,935 221,841

The estimated amounts are recognised in the consolidated balance sheet, net of allowances for estimated bad and doubtful debts, on the basis of prior years' experience and of the Group's assessment of the current economic climate.

At 2010 year-end the allowance for doubtful debts amounted to EUR 29,466 thousand (2009: EUR 40,213 thousand). EUR 8,719 thousand were recognised in this connection in 2010 (2009: EUR 8,952 thousand), of which EUR 5,446 were used (2009: EUR 1,567 thousand).

10. Equity

a) Share capital

Page 90: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

29

At the end of 2010 and 2009, the Parent's share capital amounts to EUR 158,335 thousand and consists of 211,112,800 fully subscribed and paid shares of EUR 0.75 par value each, all of which are of the same class and series and carry the same rights.

At 31 December 2010, the Parent's shareholder structure was as follows:

% of ownership

Grupo Planeta-de Agostini, S.L. 44.58

Ufa Film und Fernseh GMBH 20.49

Treasury shares 5.00

Other shareholders 29.93

Total 100.00

The Parent’s shares are listed on the Spanish stock market interconnection system and all carry the same voting and dividend rights.

There are agreements among the main shareholders that guarantee the Parent’s shareholder stability, the grant of mutual rights of acquisition on their shares, the undertaking not to take control of the Parent or to permit a third party to do so, and also include Group management agreements, as described in the consolidated directors’ report.

For management purposes, the Group treats the equity attributable to the Parent as capital. The only external requirements to which this capital for management purposes is subject are those contained in current Spanish corporate law, and there are no other legal restrictions thereon.

The Group determines the financial resources required with the two-fold objective of ensuring the Group companies’ capacity to continue operating and maximising profitability by optimising Group debt and equity. The Group’s financial structure taken as a whole consists of the equity attributable to the Parent’s shareholders (comprising share capital, share premium, retained earnings and other items), bank borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. The Group reviews this structure regularly and, taking into account the costs and risks associated with each type of funding (debt or equity), takes the appropriate decisions to achieve the aforementioned objectives.

b) Restricted reserves

Legal reserve

Under the Consolidated Spanish Public Limited Liability Companies Law, 10% of net profit for each year must be transferred to the legal reserve until the balance of this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital.

The legal reserve can be used to increase capital provided that the remaining reserve balance does not fall below 10% of the increased share capital amount. Otherwise, until the legal reserve exceeds 20% of share capital, it can only be used to offset losses, provided that sufficient other reserves are not available for this purpose.

At the end of 2010 and 2009 the balance of this reserve had reached the legally required minimum.

Reserve for retired capital

As a result of the capital reduction made in 2006, a reserve was constituted for EUR 8,333 thousand, an amount equal to the par value of the retired shares, which may only be used if the same requirements as those for the reduction of share capital are met, pursuant to Article 335-c of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

Other restricted reserves

Restricted reserves include an amount of EUR 281 thousand which is considered to be a restricted reserve since it corresponds to the “Reserve for the Adjustment of Share Capital to Euros”.

c) Contributions to consolidated profit by company

The detail of the contributions to the consolidated profit for the year of the fully consolidated companies and the companies accounted for using the equity method at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

TOTAL 109,128 60,739

The aim of the method used to determine the contribution to consolidated profit is to maintain the required transactions between Group companies so that they can carry on their business activities under normal market conditions.

d) Treasury shares

The changes in “Treasury Shares” in 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Number of shares 2010 2009

At beginning of year 10,555,640 7,377,191Purchases - 3,178,449Delivery of shares - -

At end of year 10,555,640 10,555,640

The shares of the Parent held by it represent 5.00% of the Parent's share capital and total 10,555,640 shares, with a value of EUR 78,650 thousand and an average acquisition price of EUR 7.45 per share.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2010 approved a resolution authorising the Parent to acquire treasury shares provided that they did not exceed the maximum legal limit permitted by law at any given time.

Pursuant to Article 82 of Securities Market Law 24/1988, on 10 October 2008, the Parent notified the CNMV of a significant event whereby, based on the extraordinary situation of the stock markets and the repercussion thereof on the market price of its shares, the Parent resolved to begin a treasury share acquisition process that may be extended to the limit established by the related authorisation resolution adopted by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 26 March 2008. The 5% limit was reached in April 2009.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 25 March 2009 also resolved to reduce the share capital in order to retire treasury shares with a charge to profit or unrestricted reserves, authorising the Board of Directors to implement this resolution. At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the aforementioned resolution had become void because the18-month period established in this connection had elapsed, as the Board of Directors had not made use of the powers granted to it by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the execution thereof.

e) Dividends

At the Annual General Meeting held on 24 March 2010, the shareholders of the Parent approved the proposed distribution of profit for 2009, whereby EUR 46,129 thousand were allocated to the payment of dividends, of which EUR 16,045 thousand related to the interim dividend paid out of 2009 profit on 10 December 200. The remaining EUR 30,084 thousand related to the payment of a final dividend in the aforementioned year.

On 27 October 2010, the Board of Directors of the Parent approved the distribution out of the Company’s profit for 2010 of EUR 0.20 gross per share, implying a total dividend of EUR 40,111 thousand, which was paid to the shareholders on 18 November 2010.

f) Non-controlling interests

Page 92: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

31

“Non-Controlling Interests” relates to the non-controlling interests of Uniprex Televisión Digital Terrestre de Andalucía, S.L., which at 31 December 2010 held 25.8% of the shares of this company, the amount of which is not significant.

11. Provisions and other liabilities

The changes in the long- and short-term provisions in 2010 were as follows:

Thousands of euros Balance at 31/12/09

Charge for the year

Amounts used and payments

Transfers Balance at 31/12/10

Litigation 33,968 5,806 (10,300) 46 29,520

Operating provisions 39,050 36,258 (34,746) - 40,562

Other provisions 17,615 20,740 (15,024) - 23,331

Total provisions 90,633 62,804 (60,070) 46 93,413

Short- and long-term provisions in the consolidated balance sheet relate basically to the volume rebates paid yearly which accrue over the course of the year. There are also provisions for litigation which relate mainly to the best estimate of the amounts that will become payable for which the payment schedule depends on court judgments and is, therefore, difficult to estimate, and other provisions relating to estimated future payment obligations arising from the Group’s own activities.

The main item included under “Other Non-Current Liabilities” relates to accounts payable over more than one year for copyrights and a portion of deferred taxes (see Note 20-d).

“Other Current Liabilities” relates mainly to remuneration payable for various items. In July 2009 the outstanding debt under the multi-year incentive, loyalty-building and variable remuneration plan was paid and, therefore, there was no liability in this connection at 2010 and 2009 year end.

12. Bank borrowings

The detail of “Bank Borrowings” at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

The interest rates paid in 2010 on the loans and credit facilities arranged with banks are mainly tied to Euribor.

The long-term balances drawn down mature in 2012 (EUR 598 thousand) and 2014 (EUR 452 thousand).

13. Hedging derivatives

Page 93: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

32

a) Foreign currency hedges

The Group uses currency derivatives to hedge significant future transactions and cash flows. The instruments purchased are denominated in US dollars.

The Group applies hedge accounting and documents the hedging relationships and the measurement of their effectiveness as required by IAS 39. In all cases, these include the cash flow hedges of firm commitments, the EUR/USD forward exchange rate exposure to possible variations in the cash flows payable in euros associated with broadcasting rights of which is hedged.

For 2010, due to the commencement of the period in which the broadcasting rights being hedged come into force, EUR 15 thousand were deducted from equity and recognised as a deduction of inventories. In 2009 the aforementioned effect gave rise to an increase in inventories of EUR 69 thousand. The changes in the fair value of the derivatives arranged by the Group depend on the changes in the EUR/USD exchange rate and on the euro interest rate curves.

At 31 December 2010, the Group had arranged instruments to hedge its foreign currency asset and liability positions amounting to USD 40,235 thousand, at a weighted average exchange rate of EUR 1.3564/USD 1. At 31 December 2009, the Group had arranged hedging instruments amounting to USD 51,604 thousand, at a weighted average exchange rate of EUR 1.4192/USD 1.

At the consolidated balance sheet date, the total amount of outstanding forward currency contracts entered into by the Group is as follows (the terms reflect the moment in which the hedged portion is recognised and in which the value of the hedging instruments is adjusted in equity as an increase in / reduction of inventories:

Fair value (thousands of euros)

Classification Type Expiry

Amount contracted (thousands

Ineffective portion

recognised in the income statement

(thousands of euros)

Assets Liabilities

Foreign currency hedges Foreign currency hedge Purchase of USD 2011 23,607 - 807 328

Foreign currency hedges Foreign currency hedge Purchase of USD 2012 6,055 - 123 116

At 31 December 2010, the fair value of the Group's foreign currency derivatives, which are designated and effective as cash flow hedges, was estimated to be positive by EUR 930 thousand and negative by EUR 444 thousand (2009: EUR 572 thousand positive and EUR 1,138 thousand negative). This amount was deferred and recognised in equity.

The foreign currency derivatives have been arranged in such a way that they are totally effective and, therefore, they are recognised in full in equity until inventories are recognised.

The sensitivity analysis indicates that positive or negative changes of 5% in spot EUR/USD exchange rates would give rise to changes of approximately EUR 3 million in the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives. Increases in the value of the euro (depreciation of the US dollar) would increase negative values while decreases in the value of the euro would increase positive values.

The financial instruments measured at fair value should be classified as levels 1 to 3, based on the degree of verification of their fair value. Therefore, fair values arising from quoted prices on active markets will be classified as level 1. Those arising from external information other than quoted prices will be classified as level 2. And values obtained using valuation techniques that include data that is not observable in active markets will be classified as level 3. The Group’s derivative instruments would be classified as level 2.

b) Equity and interest rate swaps

In order to cover the increased cost of the three-year variable remuneration plan that would arise in the event of an increase in the Company’s share price, an equity swap contract was arranged in 2006 that met the requirements to qualify for hedge accounting. In 2007 an interest rate derivative was arranged to hedge the fluctuations in the floating interest rate of the equity swap, recognising the changes in the value thereof directly in the consolidated income statement of the year.

When the last payment under the three-year variable remuneration plan was made in July 2009, these swaps were recognised in profit and loss and did not have any impact on the consolidated balance sheet at 31 December 2010 and 2009

The effect on the 2009 consolidated income statement was an increased expense of EUR 2,292 thousand which was recognised under “Financial Loss”. As mentioned previously, the Parent did not engage in any transactions of this nature in 2010.

Page 94: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

33

The Group met the requirements described in Note 3-h on measurement bases in order to classify the financial instruments detailed as hedges. Specifically, they were formally designated as such and it was verified that the hedges were effective. Both hedges were settled on expiry, and no new hedges have been arranged since then.

14. Trade and other payables

The detail of “Trade and Other Payables” in the consolidated balance sheets at 31 December 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Trade payables 242,148 211,997Payable to associates and related companies 11,380 13,477Customer advances 2,523 2,704

Total 256,051 228,178

In relation to the information required by Additional Provision Three of Law 15/2010, of 5 July, for these first consolidated financial statements prepared after the law had come into force, at 31 December 2010, approximately EUR 40 million of the balance payable to suppliers were past due by more than the statutory payment period.

This amount relates mainly to payables to suppliers for production services relating to agreements signed prior to the entry into force of the legislation, included in “Current Liabilities - Trade and Other Payables” in the consolidated balance sheet.

In accordance with Law 3/2004, of 29 December, which establishes measures to combat default in commercial transactions, and in accordance with the transitional provisions established in Law 15/2010, of 5 July, the maximum legal payment period applicable to the Group is 85 days from the date of entry into force of the law until 31 December 2011.

15. Other guarantee commitments to third parties and contingent assets and liabilities

a) Guarantee commitments to third parties

The detail of the guarantees provided by the Group to banks for third- and related parties is as follows:

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Group companies and associates 7,669 24,386Other guarantees 7,090 13,259

Total 14,759 37,645

The Parent’s directors consider that any liabilities not foreseen at 31 December 2010 that might arise from the guarantees provided would not be material.

b) Contingent liabilities

At 31 December 2010, certain civil, labour, criminal and administrative lawsuits had been filed against the Group companies, which were taken into account in estimating any contingent liabilities. Noteworthy, in view of their amount, were the lawsuits with certain collection societies.

The directors of the Parent and its legal advisers do not expect any material liabilities additional to those already recorded to arise from the outcome of the lawsuits in progress.

c) Litigation

In 2010 there were no significant changes in litigations and no new litigation proceedings deemed significant were brought against the Group.

16. Risk management policy

a) Risk management policy

The businesses and companies establish the risk management controls required to ensure that transactions in markets are performed in accordance with the Antena 3 Group's policies, rules and procedures and that all transactions take place within the limits approved for each case.

b) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risks are concentrated at the Parent and relate basically to the payments to be made in international markets to acquire broadcasting rights. The Parent arranges hedging instruments, mainly foreign currency hedges, to mitigate its foreign currency risk exposure for EUR/USD forward foreign currency risk. Sensitivity to changes in the exchange rate is described in Note 13-a.

c) Liquidity risk

The Group's liquidity policy is to arrange credit lines and short-term investments for amounts that are sufficient to support its financing needs, on the basis of its expected business performance (see Note 12).

d) Credit risk

The Group does not have a significant credit risk since the average customer collection period is very short and guarantees are required for deferred payment sales. Cash is placed and derivatives are arranged with highly solvent entities.

The Corporate Governance Report includes an extensive summary of the risk control systems.

Three-year variable remuneration and executive loyalty-building plan

As the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) was informed on 12 May 2004, the Parent's shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on that date approved a three-year variable remuneration and loyalty building plan for the directors and executives of the Antena 3 Group. Once the criteria of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee had been taken into account and the resolutions of the relevant managing bodies had been adopted, the plan was implemented in 2009 which, as notified to the CNMV on 4 January 2005, was targeted at two groups of directors and executives, in the corresponding categories, for which across-the-board conditions were established.

The amounts corresponding to the group of beneficiaries with maturity on 10 July 2007 were paid in 2007. The amounts corresponding to the first group referred to in the preceding paragraphs were paid in July 2009. EUR 5,507 thousand became vested in 2009.

Given that the plan was settled in full in 2009, there is no balance in this connection in the consolidated financial statements for 2010.

In order to present segment reporting more fairly, the method used to determine the contribution of each business segment to the Group was changed, although this did not have a significant effect with respect to the information presented in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2009 (see Note 10-c).

20. Tax matters

a) Consolidated tax group

Pursuant to current legislation, the consolidated tax group includes Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A., as the Parent, and the Spanish subsidiaries that meet the requirements provided for in Spanish legislation regulating the taxation of the consolidated profits of corporate groups (in which an ownership interest of more than 75% is held).

The Group's other subsidiaries file individual tax returns in accordance with the tax legislation in force in each country.

Pursuant to Corporation Tax Law 43/1995, of 27 December, on 26 December 2000, Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. notified the Madrid tax authorities of its decision to file consolidated income tax returns. This application is considered indefinite provided that the requirements established in the current Article 67 of the Consolidated Spanish Corporation Tax Law are met and the Group does not opt to cease to apply the consolidated tax regime. The filing of consolidated tax returns gives rise to reciprocal intra-Group balances, due to the offset of the losses incurred by certain companies against the profit earned by other Group companies.

On 5 June 2009, the public deed was executed for the merger by absorption of Radio Tormes, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Radio Alamedilla, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Compañía Tres Mil Ochocientos, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), La Veu de LLeida, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Grupo Universal de Emisoras Radio Amanecer, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), Ondadit, S.L. (Sole-Shareholder Company) and Unión Ibérica de Radio, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) into the sole shareholder Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company) through the dissolution without liquidation of the absorbed companies and the transfer en bloc of their assets and liabilities to Uniprex, S.A. (Sole-Shareholder Company), the absorbing company, which acquired them by universal succession and was subrogated to all the rights and obligations of the absorbed companies, as stipulated in Article 233 of the Spanish Public Limited liability Companies Law. The effective date from which the transactions of the absorbed companies were considered to have been performed for accounting and tax purposes by the absorbing company was taken to be 1 January 2009.

The merger gave rise to the merger goodwill shown in Note 4, which differs from the merger goodwill for tax purposes calculated and amortised as provided for in Article 89.3 of the Consolidated Spanish Corporation Tax Law.

b) Reconciliation of the accounting profit to the income tax expense

The reconciliation of the accounting profit to the income tax expense is as follows:

Thousands of euros 2010 2009

Consolidated profit before tax 131,660 51,410

Income tax adjustment 205 (8,165)

Total tax expense 22,532 (9,329)

Effective tax rate 17.11% (18.14%)

The 2010 permanent differences mainly include negative consolidation differences (EUR 1,176 thousand), the amortisation of merger goodwill (EUR 1,239 thousand), the impairment of goodwill at Unipublic (EUR 5,500 thousand), other non-deductible expenses (EUR 1,266 thousand) and donations (EUR 724 thousand).

The 2009 permanent differences mainly included donations and other non-deductible expenses (EUR 1,177 thousand), the amortisation of goodwill on consolidation (EUR 826 thousand) and consolidation differences (EUR 812 thousand).

The tax credits indicated in the table above were earned by the Group in 2010 for investment in audiovisual and film production, other investments in relation to donations to not-for-profit organisations that qualify under Law 49/2002 and domestic dividend double taxation tax credits.

On the basis of the estimate made by the Parent’s directors of the timing of future profits for the offset and use of these taxes, EUR 17,471 thousand were considered to be recoverable in the tax return for the coming year.

e) Deferred tax assets recognised

At 31 December 2010, the Group had from 2005 onwards open for review by the tax authorities for all the taxes applicable to it.

(Sole-Shareholder Company) on the transfer of the ownership interest in a company. This reinvestment (EUR 499,950) gave rise to a tax credit of EUR 41,793, which was taken in 2008.

The aforementioned non-current assets continue to be held in use at Antena 3 Televisión in accordance with Article 36 of Spanish Corporation Tax Royal Decree-Law 4/2004.

Also, in 2009 the Company used the aforementioned tax credit for the reinvestment of extraordinary income deriving from the transfer of the ownership interest of Gloway Broadcasting Services, S.L., in compliance with the requirement of Article 36. In 2009 the Company acquired non-current assets amounting to EUR 6,414 thousand, under the terms and conditions established in the aforementioned Article to comply with the reinvestment and earned tax credits of EUR 46 thousand that it did not use.

These non-current assets continue to be used and are held in the equity of Antena 3 Televisión.

22. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss attributable to the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of treasury shares held in the year.

Accordingly:

2010 2009

Net profit for the year (thousands of euros) 109,129 60,751Weighted average number of shares outstanding (thousands of shares) 200,557 200,937

Basic earnings per share (euros) 0.544 0.302

The diluted earnings per share coincide with basic earnings per share since there are no equity instruments with a dilutive effect.

ANTENA 3 AND SUBSIDIARIES GROUP (CONSOLIDATED GROUP)DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR 2010

Business performance and background

As we know, the trend in the Antena 3 Group’s main source of revenue, advertising, is strongly influenced by developments in economic activity. This is why the environment in recent years, triggered by the financial and economic crisis that began in the now distant summer of 2007, devastating the Spanish economy, has not been favourable. While in 2008 GDP rose by a slight 0.9%, in 2009 it crashed, falling back by 3.7%. According to the Spanish Institute of Statistics’ preliminary quarterly accounting report, GDP contracted by an overall 0.1% in 2010.

All of this had an immediate effect on the advertising market which fell by 29.5% in 2008 and 2009 as a whole. This dramatic fall inevitably eroded the television and radio operators’ margins. Nevertheless, the Antena 3 Group continued to present very positive results and a most healthy position. The improvement in domestic business activity boosted the performance of the advertising market in 2010 which, according to internal estimates, grew by 3.8%.

Under the new Spanish public television model, towards 2009 year-end TVE began to reduce its advertising spaces, which, by the beginning of 2010 were completely eliminated. This change, which had been repeatedly requested by all the commercial television operators, provided all of them, including Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. with the possibility of significantly increasing their advertising revenues.

Also, in 2010 the digital terrestrial television (DTT) deployment process in Spain was fully completed, and by the beginning of April there was no further broadcasting of analogue television signals. In the summer, as envisaged, the new digital channels were granted to all the operators, so that all of us now have a complete multiplex system capable of broadcasting four television channels. The entire range of DTT services was thus configured to cover 25 national free-to-view channels and three national pay TV channels. In addition there are numerous regional and local services and public television channels.

Due to the increase in the number of channels, the audience share of traditional channels continued to shrink in 2010. As a result, the main channel, Antena 3, recorded an annual average audience of 11.7% compared with 14.7% in 2009. Conversely, the complementary channels, Neox, Nova and Nitro proved to be the most popular from end August, achieving an aggregate share of 4.1% compared with 1.9% in 2009. Thanks to these channels, the total audience share was 15.8%, only 0.8% lower than that of 2009. It should also be remembered that the strategy of using the same advertising spaces for the four channels means that commercial advantage can be taken of all the channels at the same proportion.

The radio business, which is operated through the Group’s subsidiary, Uniprex, S.A.U., performed very well in terms of audience. Overall, it consolidated as the second leading radio broadcaster, with a total audience of 3.8 million listeners, according to the 2010 third wave of the General Media Study. Onda Cero, which broadcasts general content, achieved 2.3 million listeners and Europa FM’s music programme had 1.5 million listeners, 24% more than in 2009.

The Group’s net income amounted to EUR 808 million compared with EUR 704 million in 2009, representing growth of 14.7%, well above the average in the advertising market.

The Group continued to implement cost containment measures in all its business areas. However, it incurred certain restructuring costs, and total operating expenses increased by 4.2% to EUR 667 million.

Page 115: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

Profit before tax stood at EUR 109 million in 2010, as compared with EUR 61 million in 2009. After-tax profit amounted to EUR 109 million (2009: EUR 61 million).

Significant events for the Group after the reporting period

There were no significant events between the end of the reporting year and the date of preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Outlook for the Group

The outlook for the Spanish economy in 2011 is gloomy, although nearly all the business analysts and economic analysis institutions anticipate a slight upturn in domestic demand. In this respect, there are bright prospects for the advertising market, especially for television and the Internet.

From the audience standpoint, the four channels offer a very diverse and competitive range of contents. When we combine this with the very satisfactory transition to the new DTT services for the Neox, Nova and Nitro channels, the outlook for 2011 is promising. The reinforcement of its programmes will be a fundamental objective for Antena 3 if it is to maintain its already sharp competitive edge. The radio business, which is evolving in a more stable manner, is also expected to prosper on the back of the well established general interest programmes and the ongoing innovation of the musical programmes, which have been so popular with listeners.

This strategy will be supplemented by additional developments of all the Internet activities and in any new audiovisual content broadcasting method. Cutting-edge technological tools will be used to harness the substantial value of the Antena 3 brand, and its great capability for creating and promoting contents, which was already being demonstrated in 2010.

Research and development activities

The Group does not carry on any specific research and development activities. However, it updates its investments in all new technologies related to engineering, systems and content distribution on an ongoing basis. In this field Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. has and uses state-of-the-art technology, which enables it to be at the forefront in the deployment of digital activities and in the Internet.

Treasury share acquisitions

No transactions involving treasury shares were performed in 2010. The Company therefore continued to hold 10,555,640 treasury shares of EUR 0.75 par value each, representing 5% of the its share capital.

Page 116: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

Use of financial instruments and main financial risks

The Group performs transactions with financial instruments mainly to hedge the foreign currency risk on the purchases of broadcasting rights in the year.

At 31 December 2010, the Group had arranged transactions to hedge its foreign currency asset and liability positions amounting to USD 40,235 thousand, at a weighted average exchange rate of EUR 1.3564/USD 1. The net fair value of these hedging instruments gave rise to a financial asset of EUR 930 thousand and a financial liability of EUR 444 thousand at year-end.

The Group has established the risk management systems required to ensure that transactions in markets are performed in accordance with its established policies, rules and procedures and within the limits approved for each case. The Company’s main financial risks are as follows:

a) Foreign currency risk. The Group’s foreign currency risks relate mainly to the payments to be made in international markets to acquire broadcasting rights. The Group arranges hedging instruments, mainly foreign currency hedges, to mitigate its foreign currency risk.

b) Liquidity risk. The Group’s liquidity policy is to arrange credit lines and short-term investments that are sufficient to support its financial needs, on the basis of expected business performance.

c) Credit risk. The Group does not have significant credit risk since the average customer collection period is very short and guarantees are required for deferred payment sales. Cash placements are made and derivative instruments are arranged with institutions of recognised solvency.

Page 119: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

The rules applicable to the appointment and replacement of the members of the managing body and to the amendment of the Company’s bylaws

The rules are as established in the Company bylaws and in the Board Regulations. Accordingly, the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting appoint the members of the Board of Directors, as provided for in Legislative Royal Decree 1/2010, of 2 July, which approves the Consolidated Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, and in the Company bylaws. In the event of any vacancies, the Board may appoint, from among the shareholders, the persons who are to hold office until the next Annual General Meeting is held.

Persons proposed to hold office as director must meet the requirements established at any given time in current legislation and in the bylaws, apart from having acknowledged professional prestige and possessing the expertise and experience required to discharge the related duties.

Persons who are subject to any legally established prohibition or incompatibility may not be Company directors.

The Board’s proposals for the nomination or re-appointment of directors that are put to the Annual General Meeting and also their provisional appointment by co-optation, must be preceded by the related Nomination and Remuneration Committee report.

As provided for in the bylaws, the term of office of director is six years, although directors may be re-appointed indefinitely for six-year mandates. When the term elapses, the appointment expires once the following Annual General Meeting is held or the statutory term for calling the Annual General Meeting has ended.

The appointment of directors by co-optation must be ratified by the shareholders at the first Annual General Meeting held after their appointment.

Directors shall be removed from office where the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting so resolve, where they tender their resignation to the Company and where the term for which they were appointed elapses.

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting are exclusively responsible for amending the Company bylaws (Article 16.6 of the Bylaws), and such amendment is governed by Articles 286 to 290 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, with no specific situations being envisaged.

The following statutory requirements must be met: The directors or, as the case may be, the shareholders making the proposal must prepare a

report in writing supporting the amendment. The call notice must indicate with due clarity the main points to be amended and the right of all

shareholders to examine the full wording of the proposed amendment and the report thereon at the registered office and to request that such documents be provided to them or sent to them free of charge.

The resolution must be adopted by the shareholders at the Meeting, as provided for in Articles 194 and 201 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

If the resolution concerns a change in the company name, registered office, replacement of or any amendment to the Company object, it will be published on the Company’s website or, in the absence thereof, in two large-circulation newspapers in the respective province or provinces.

The resolution must be executed in a public deed, which will be registered at the Mercantile Registry and will be published in the Mercantile Registry Official Gazette.

Powers of the members of the Board of Directors and, in particular, those relating to the possibility of issuing or repurchasing shares

Both the Executive Committee and the Managing Director have been delegated all the powers of the Board of Directors, except for those that may not be delegated.

Page 120: Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and Consolidated... · Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. Auditors' Report Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2010 Translation of a report

The shareholders at the Annual General Meeting have not adopted any resolutions permitting the issue of new Company shares and, therefore, no authority to carry out any issue of shares has been granted to the Board of Directors or to any of its members.

Insofar as the purchase and sale of treasury shares is concerned, the following resolution was adopted on 24 March 2010 by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting:

“To authorise the Company so that directly or through any of its subsidiaries it may acquire shares of Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A., by any legally admissible means, including a charge to profit for the year and/or unrestricted reserves, and also that it may subsequently dispose of or retire such shares, as provided for in Article 75 and similar provisions of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law, delegating to the Board of Directors the powers necessary to implement the resolutions adopted by the General Meeting in this connection.

The rules for the acquisition of such shares are as follows:

The par value of the shares acquired, added to the shares already held by Antena 3 de Televisión, S.A. and its subsidiaries, must not exceed the legally authorised maximum limit at any given time.

The acquisition, including all the treasury shares acquired earlier by the Company or the person acting on its behalf, must not reduce the equity to below the amount of the share capital plus the reserves that are restricted by law or by the bylaws. For these purposes, equity will be deemed to be the amount qualifying as such under the rules for the preparation of the financial statements, net of the profit directly recognised therein, and increased by the amount of uncalled subscribed share capital, and the amount of thenominal value and share premiums of the subscribed share capital recognised as a liability.

The shares acquired must be fully paid.

The acquisition price may not be less than the par value or 20 percent higher than the market price. Acquisitions must also comply with the rules and customs of the stock markets.

Express authorisation was granted for the shares acquired by the Company or by its subsidiaries, availing themselves of this authorisation, to be used in full or partially for delivery to the beneficiaries of future remuneration plans or those resulting from the exercise of option rights for the benefit of workers, employees or directors of the Company. The reason for this authorisation is expressly placed on record for the purpose of Article 75.1 of the Spanish Limited Liability Companies Law.

The Board of Directors is empowered in the broadest terms, to use the authorisation forming the subject-matter of this resolution, and to implement and perform it to the full, being able to delegate these powersto the Executive Committee, to the managing director or to any other person that the Board expressly empowers for such purpose, with powers as broad as it sees fit.

This authorisation shall be valid for five years from the date of this Annual General Meeting, and the unimplemented portion thereof, granted to the Board of Directors by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of 25 March 2009, is rendered null and void.”

Pursuant to Article 9.2.a).4. of the Board Regulations, the Board of Directors is exclusively responsible for establishing the policy and limits for treasury shares, without prejudice to the possibility of delegating the specific implementation thereof to the Chairman, the Managing Director or the Financial Manager. Chapter V of the Internal Code of Conduct for matters relating to the stock markets also establishes rules on the management of treasury shares.

Significant agreements entered into by the Company and which will come into force, be modified or be terminated in the event of a change in control of the Company resulting from a takeover bid, and their effects, except when disclosure would be seriously detrimental to the Company. This exception is not applicable where the Company is legally obliged to disclose this information

There are no agreements of this nature.

Agreements between the Company and its directors, management or employees which provide for termination benefits when the latter resign or are dismissed without justification or if the employment relationship ends as a result of a takeover bid

As a general rule, insofar as employees, performers and executives are concerned, the criteria and amounts of termination benefits established in the legislation applicable to each group are applied, where appropriate. Exceptionally, in some cases, following negotiation on an individual basis and where the Company may be particularly interested in hiring a certain professional, specific indemnity terms may be established on a transitional or permanent basis, in which the special circumstances of the hiring and its future termination are taken into account and valued accordingly. All such agreements are specific and there is no standard criterion applicable to them as a whole, except for the fact that they are exceptional.

The general rule is that in no case should a takeover bid in itself give rise to the termination of an employment contract and the related termination benefits.
