1. OPERATIONS

Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo (“SABESP” or the “Company”) is engaged in the operation of public water and sewage systems in the State of São Paulo, providing water and sewage services to a broad range of residential, commercial, industrial and government customers. Besides providing water and sewage collection services, the Company also provides water on a wholesale basis to certain municipalities in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region that do not have water production systems.

As of the Law 12,292, enacted on March 2, 2006, the Company may provide water and sewage services outside the State of São Paulo, including in other countries, either directly or through national or international consortia, may have equity participation in other state or mixed-capital companies, as well as to establish subsidiaries, to relate itself or participate in a private company connected to the sanitation industry.

The Company provides water and sewage services in 367 municipalities in the State of São Paulo. Nearly all of which are through concessions granted by the municipalities and most of them with 30-year term. The 10 (ten) concession contracts that expired in 2005 have been extended or are under negotiation. Up to December 31, 2006, 130 contracts are going to expire and the rest between 2007 and 2034. Management expects that the referred concessions will be renewed or extended, thus there will not be a discontinuity of the water supply and sewage collection. Up to September 30, 2006, the net book value of property, plant and equipment items relating to the municipalities where the concessions are under negotiation or will expire in 2006 totals R$ 1,57 billion, and the net revenue for the nine-month period then ended totals R$ 585 million in relation to these concessions.

The Company does not hold a formal concession to provide water and sewage services in the City of São Paulo, which accounts for approximately 56% of the sales and services rendered. In Santos, a municipality located in the Santos Coastal Area, which also has a large population and represents 2.72% of the sales and services rendered, the Company operates under a public deed of authorization, like in some other municipalities in the Santos Coastal Area and in the Ribeira Valley, where the Company started operating after the merger of the companies that formed SABESP. Management believes that the Company has a vested right to provide water and sewage services to these municipalities based upon, among other things, its ownership of the related water and sewage systems serving the City of São Paulo and these other municipalities and certain succession rights resulting from the merger which formed the Company.

In general, the Company does not face any competition in the municipalities in which it provides water and sewage services, and management understands that in those municipalities the Company has an exclusive right to provide such services.

All information regarding concession areas, number of municipalities, volumes of water and sewage and other related data disclosed in this report that do not arise from the accounting and/or financial statements are unaudited.

2. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s financial statements, which are used as the basis for determining income taxes and mandatory minimum dividends calculations, have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which are based on the Brazilian Corporate Law (Law No. 6,404/76 and amendments), the rules and regulations of the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM and the accounting standards issued by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors – IBRACON.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

(a) Determination of results of operations

(i) Revenues from sales and services

Revenues for water supply and sewage collection services are recognized as water is consumed or as services are provided. Revenues from water supply and sewage collection services rendered but not billed are recognized as unbilled customer accounts receivable based on monthly estimates, calculated from the last measurement date to month end based on prior month’s billings, in order to match such revenues with costs incurred.

(ii) Financial income and expenses

Primarily comprised of interest and monetary and exchange variations on loans and financing and financial investments, calculated and reported on the accrual basis of accounting.

(iii) Income and social contribution taxes

Income and social contribution taxes are calculated based on taxable results. Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15%, plus a 10% surtax, and social contribution is calculated at the rate of 9%. These taxes are reported on an accrual basis.

Deferred taxes related to tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences are calculated and recorded based on future taxable or deductible amounts and are recognized to the extent that their realization is believed to be probable.

As permitted by the CVM, the Company opted not to recognize the deferred tax liability (non-cash) on the revaluation reserve of property, plant and equipment recorded up to 1991.

(iv) Other income and expenses

Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are comprised mainly of bank deposits and financial investments and are carried at cost, plus accrued interest, if applicable. Financial investments denominated in reais have a ready market and an original maturity after 30 days from the date of investment, and are comprised mainly of Bank Deposit Certificates – CDB’s. Foreign currency deposits, if any, are translated at balance sheets date exchange rates.

(c) Customer accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Customer accounts receivable generally do not accrue interest or indexation charges or penalties, except for refinanced agreements.

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts in an amount that is deemed by Management to be sufficient to cover probable losses in accounts receivable. Provision is recorded for bills in excess of R$ 5 and overdue for more than 360 days, and in excess of R$ 30 and overdue for more than 360 days which are under judicial collection proceedings. The amount calculated is adjusted, when presenting excess of insufficiency, based on the receivables aging analysis, taking into consideration the recovery expectation for the several customer categories.

The Company does not record an allowance for doubtful accounts for any amounts due from the State Government or entities controlled by the State Government, since it does not expect losses on such receivables.

(d) Inventories

Inventories of materials used in operations and in the maintenance of the Company’s water and sewage systems are stated at the lower of average acquisition cost or realizable value and are classified in current assets.

Inventories for capital projects are classified under property, plant and equipment and are stated at the average acquisition cost.

(e) Other current assets and long-term receivables

Other current assets and long-term receivables are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or realization value, plus accrued interest, when applicable.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Demonstrated at cost restated up to December 31, 1995, combined with the following aspects:

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment – calculated at the straight-line method, at the annual rates mentioned in note 6.a.

Revaluation of fixed asset items, carried out in two separate stages in 1990 and 1991, was based on an appraisal report issued by independent experts, recorded with a corresponding credit to the “Revaluation Reserve” account in the Shareholders’ Equity, and is realized through depreciation, sale and disposal of the respective items, with a corresponding entry to “Retained Earnings” account.

Contributions of property, plant and equipment by third parties and from government entities to allow the Company to supply water and sewage services are recorded as a capital reserve.

Construction-in-progress is recorded at cost and is primarily related to construction projects under contract with third parties.

Capitalization of Financial Charges

Interest charges on loans and financing for construction-in-progress are capitalized as part of the cost of assets, during the related works.

Capitalized interests and foreign exchange variations are depreciated together with the cost of the asset, once it becomes operational.

Repairs and Maintenance

Improvements to existing property are capitalized, while costs of general maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Materials allocated to specific projects are added to construction-in-progress.

Impairment

The Company reviews long-lived assets, primarily buildings and water and sewage systems, including property, plant and equipment and concession assets, to be held and used in the business, for the purpose of determining and measuring impairment on a recurring basis or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses impairment on the basis of the projected recovery of depreciation charges through results of operations. The carrying value of assets or group of assets is written down to realizable amount if and when appropriate.

Intangible Assets

Beginning in 1999, negotiations and acquisitions of new concessions considers the financial economic value of the business, defined in an appraisal report, issued by independent experts.

The terms of these concessions are generally for a period of 30 years and generally include the corresponding right to operate the concession assets over which the Company does not have title. The purchase price for these concessions is generally the fair value of the concession, based on the appraisal reports which take into consideration the projected cash flows and the remaining concession period at the date of acquisition. The cost of the concession assets acquired is amortized over the concession period using the straight-line method.

(g) Deferred Assets

The deferred assets are comprised of deferred project costs and technical studies, which are being amortized using the straight-line method over 5 years from the date when benefits start to be generated.

(h) Loans and Financing

Loans and financing are adjusted by indexation charges and foreign exchange variations, and include accruals for related interest expense. Loans and financing denominated in foreign currencies are translated to reais at the balance sheet date. The resulting foreign currency exchange adjustments are recognized as incurred, in the “financial income (expense), net” account.

(i) Salaries and payroll charges

Salaries and other payroll charges, including provision for vacation pay, 13th salary and complementary payments agreed upon through collective bargaining agreements, added by the corresponding payroll charges, are recorded on an accrual basis.

(j) Provision for contingencies

Provision for contingencies is recorded at the estimated amounts to cover potential losses related to labor, tax, civil, commercial, environmental and other claims and lawsuits, at administrative and court levels, when such losses are considered probable. Provision for contingencies balances are being disclosed net of the related escrow deposits.

(k) Environmental costs

Expenditures relating to ongoing environmental programs are expensed as incurred. Ongoing programs are designed and performed with a view to minimize the environmental impact of the operations and to manage the environmental risks inherent to the Company’s activities.

(l) Pension and Postretirement Benefits

The Company sponsors a private defined benefit pension plan, which is operated and administered by Fundação Sabesp de Seguridade Social (“SABESPREV”). CVM resolution 371 of December 13, 2000 determines the recognition of the actuarial liabilities in excess to the plan assets. The Company has elected to recognize the transition obligation as of the date of adoption in earnings on a straight-line basis over five years beginning January 1, 2002.

(m) Other current and long-term liabilities

Other current and long-term liabilities are stated at their known or estimated amounts, including related charges and monetary and foreign exchange adjustments, when applicable.

(n) Interest on shareholder’s equity

Recorded in accordance with Law 9,249/95, for tax deductibility purposes, limited to the daily pro-rata variation of the Long-Term Interest Rate (“TJLP”) and disclosed in accordance with CVM Deliberation 207/96.

(o) Earnings per share

Earning per share is calculated based on the number of shares outstanding at the balance sheet date.

(p) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Sewage services    35,953    34,538 
 Collections    (36,919)   (51,957)

(i) Water and sewage services

The Company provides water and sewage services to the State Government and its related agencies under terms and conditions that management believes are equal to those with third parties, except for the settlement of amounts outstanding, as described further below in items (iii) and (iv).

(ii) Reimbursement for pension and benefits paid.

Reimbursement for pension and benefits paid represents supplementary paid by the Company on behalf of the State Government to former employees of State Government-owned companies which merged to form SABESP. The amounts should be reimbursed to the Company by the Government, as the primary obligor, in conformity with Law No. 200/74. On September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, 2,686 and 2,699 retirees, respectively, received supplementary pension payments, for which the Company paid R$ 23,920 and R$ 23,327 in the periods ended September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. There were 174 active employees at September 30, 2006, who will be entitled to these benefits once they retire, as compared to 182 at June 31, 2006.

(iii) GESP Agreement

On December 11, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of São Paulo Government, through the State Department of Finance and the State Department of Water and Energy - “DAEE”, having the State Department of Water Resources, Sanitation and Works as intervening party, under which the State Government, by force of Law No. 200/74, acknowledged to be responsible for the supplemental retirement and pension benefits and acknowledged the existence of debts in respect of water and sewage services. The total Agreement value was R$ 678,830, of which R$ 320,623 refered to supplemental retirement and pension benefits in the period from March 1986 until November 2001, and R$ 358,207 refered to water supply and sewage collection services invoiced and due from 1985 until December 1, 2001.

Considering the strategic importance of Taiacupeba, Jundiaí, Biritiba, Paraitinga and Ponte Nova reservoirs, for ensuring the volume of water of the Alto Tietê System to be maintained, the Department of Water and Energy - DAEE will transfer these properties to the Company as partial amortization, by means of credit assignment, of the amount owed by the State. The reservoirs evaluation works has been completed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, indicating an amount of R$ 300,880 (base date – June, 2002), as shown in the related report.

Based on Official Notice No. 53/2005 of the State Capital Defense Council – CODEC, dated March 21, 2005, negotiations were restarted between the Company and the State Government with a view to restatement of the debt under the terms defined in the GESP agreement, including amounts due after November, 2001. These negotiations shall be consolidated in a second amendment to the Agreement between the State Government and SABESP. The Company has retained Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Contábeis, Atuariais e Financeiras, USP – FIPECAFI to validate the actual values to be reimbursed by the State Government, taking into account the legal advice provided by the General Office of the State Attorney.

Once the amounts and the monetary adjustment criterion are defined, SABESP will be able to take applicable actions with DAEE in order to transfer the ownership rights to the Alto Tietê System reservoirs, since no legal restraint exists, once the State Government has timely filed an appeal against the decision that had granted the public civil action and managed to obtain the suspension of the effects thereof.

This second amendment shall also include the criteria for monthly recovery of the future amounts to be disbursed by SABESP.

It is not possible to determine the net effects on the balance sheet resulting from such negotiation. Management does not expect to incur significant losses relating to any differences between the amounts recorded as due from the State Government and the amounts actually paid by SABESP.

The balances for water and sewage services were included in the 1st amendment, as described below (iv).

(iv) First Amendment to GESP Agreement

On March 22, 2004, the Company and the State Government amended the terms of the original GESP Agreement, thereby (1) consolidating and acknowledging amounts due from the State Government for water and sewage services through February 2004, monetarily adjusted through February 2004; (2) formally providing for the offset of amounts due from the State Government against interest on shareholder’s equity declared by the Company and any other debt owed to the State Government at December 31, 2003, which were monetarily adjusted through February 2004; and (3) defining the payment terms of the remaining obligations of the State Government for water and sewage services.

Under the terms of the Amendment, the State Government acknowledged amounts due to the Company for water and sewage services provided through February 2004, in the amount of R$ 581,779, including monetary adjustments based on the Referential Rate (“TR”) at the end of each fiscal year through February 2004. The Company acknowledged amounts due to the State Government with respect to interest on shareholders’ equity of R$ 518,732, including (1) amounts declared and payable relating to years prior to 2003 (R$ 126,967), (2) monetary adjustments on these amounts based on the annual change in the Consumer Prices Index (IPC/FIPE) through February 2004 (R$ 31,098); and (3) amounts declared and payable relating to 2003 (R$ 360,667).

The Company and the State Government agreed to the reciprocal offset of R$ 404,889 (monetarily adjusted through February 2004). The remaining obligation of R$ 176,890 at February 29, 2004 is being paid in monthly installments from May 2005 through April 2009, which is subject to monthly monetary adjustment at the Expanded Consumer Price Index (IPCA/IBGE), plus 0.5% .

The Amendment to the GESP Agreement does not provide for amounts owed by the State Government for supplementary retirement and pension plan benefits, paid by the Company on behalf of the State Government. Such amounts continue to be subject to the terms of the original GESP Agreement. Part of such amounts may be netted upon the transfer of the reservoirs that make up the Alto Tietê System. The Company and the State Government are negotiating the transfer and netting of the additional amounts owed.

Management believes that the amounts owed by the State Government shall be received and it is not estimated that losses will be incurred with such accounts receivable.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company’s balance of cash and financial investments accounts with financial institutions controlled by the State Government was R$ 359,664 at September 30, 2006 (R$ 303,758 at June 30, 2006). The financial income from such investments was R$ 39,628 and R$ 24,582 in the periods ended on September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company is required by law to invest excess cash with financial institutions controlled by the State Government.

(c) Arrangements to use certain reservoirs

The Company uses the Guarapiranga and Billings reservoirs and a portion of some of the reservoirs of the Alto Tietê System, which are owned by other State of São Paulo-owned companies and it does not pay any fees for their usage. In case these reservoirs are not available for use by the Company, it may be needed to obtain water from more distant locations.

The Company has the right to use water and to explore the reservoirs of the Alto Tietê System during a 30-year period, beginning in 1997.

(a) Depreciation:

Depreciation is calculated at the following annual rates: buildings – 4%; networks – 2%; equipment – 10%; water meters – 10%; transportation equipment – 20%; IT equipment – 20%; building connections – 5% furniture, fixtures and equipment – 10%. When applicable, depreciation rates are adjusted to take into account the changes in the estimated remaining economic lives as assets are replaced.

Amortization of intangible assets is performed during the term of the concession agreements entered into with the municipalities

(b) Construction in progress

Disbursements from the fourth quarter of 2006 to 2011, related to construction works already contracted are estimated to be approximately R$ 1,196,000 (unaudited).

(c) Disposals of property, plant and equipment

The Company wrote-off, in the third quarter of 2006, property, plant and equipment in the amount of R$ 4,470 (2005 – R$ 10,337), resulting in a total loss in the amount of R$ 3,192 (2005 – R$ 1,165) related to assets in use, due to obsolescence, theft and disposal. In 2005 R$ 9,172 was written-off related to construction in progress, due to discontinued construction, non-productive wells and projects no longer economically feasible.

(d) Expropriations

As a result of the implementation of priority projects related to the water and sewage systems it was necessary to expropriate or establish rights of way through third-party properties, all in conformity with the relevant legislation. The owner’s of these properties will be compensated either through negotiated settlements or judicial arbitration. Disbursements to be effected as from the fourth quarter of 2006 are estimated to be approximately R$ 281,000 (unaudited). The related assets acquired as a result of these negotiations are recorded as property, plant and equipment when the expropriation is complete. The total amount paid relating to expropriations of property, plant and equipment in the third quarter of 2006 was R$ 663 (in the third quarter of 2005 - R$ 2,464).

(e) Tax effects on revaluation of assets

Property, plant and equipment items were revaluated in 1990 and 1991 and have been depreciated at annual rates which take into consideration the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the assets as determined in the respective valuation reports that, as a rule, fall within the ranges of the above presented rates.

As permitted by CVM Instruction 197/93, the Company did not record the deferred tax effects on the surplus of the revaluation of property, plant and equipment carried out in 1990 and 1991. Had the income tax and social contribution on revaluation reserve been accounted for, the unrealized amount at September 30, 2006 would be R$ 438,042 (R$ 468,696 up to September 30, 2005). The amount of R$ 70,070 was realized in the period from January to September, 2006 (January to September, 2005 – R$ 67,031).

(f) Concessions

(i) Intangible Assets

In the third quarter of 2006 and 2005 the amortization expenses related to intangible concession rights were R$ 5,000 and R$ 4,900, respectively, and R$ 14,967 and R$ 14,689 in the first nine months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The amortization expense for next five years is estimated to be approximately R$ 20,000 per year (unaudited).

(ii) Fixed Assets in operation

The fixed assets in operation represent the assets involved in the services providing of supply of water and collection of sewage in 352 municipalities. At the end of the concession, assets shall be transferred to the conceding power, by means of indemnification. The other municipalities have been negotiated by financial economic appraisal, as described in the above item.

(g) Capitalization of interest and financial charges

In the third quarter of 2006 and 2005, the Company capitalized to property, plant and equipment interests and monetary variation, including exchange variation, in the amount of R$ 9,211 and R$ (4,837) respectively, during the period in which the related assets were under construction.

(ii) Contractor claims – Filed by certain construction service contractors alleging underpayment of monetary adjustments, withholding of amounts relating to the effects of the Real Plan and monetary losses from economic-financial unbalance in the applicable contract.

(iv) Labor claims – the Company is party to several labor claims, related to overtime pay, health hazard and risk, prior notice period, job deviation, salary parity and others, most of the amounts involved being under provisional or definite execution, in several court levels, thus being classified as of probable loss and, consequently, duly provisioned.

Vara de Paraguaçu Paulista), which seeks reparation for and cessacion of environmental damage allegedley caused by the release by the Company of raw sewage in the Alegre River, situated in the Municipality of Paraguaçu Paulista. The court ruled against the Company in the first instance, requiring that it: (a) ceases the release of raw sewage into the Alegre River; (b) invests in a water and sewage treatment facility in the Municipality of Paraguaçu Paulista; and (c) pays an administrative penalty in the amount of R$ 116,9 million for environmental damage. The decision imposes an additional daily penalty on the Company if it fails to comply with (a) and (b) above. The Company has appealed the decision; however, the projects necessary to meet (a) and (b) above are expected to be concluded by October 2007.

On September 21, 2006, the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo ruled against the Company’s appeal. Despite the legal resources the Company shall be able to use to appeal against the decision issued by the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo, the Company is negotiating with the Public Prosecution Office of the State of São Paulo to define the terms and conditions of an agreement that shall result in the extinction of the legal suit.

16. INDEMNITIES RECEIVABLE

Indemnifications receivable is a long term asset representing amounts receivable from the municipalities of Diadema and Mauá as indemnification for the unilateral withdraw of the Company’s water and sewage services concessions in 1995. At September 30, 2006 this asset amounted to R$ 148,794.

Under these concession agreements, the Company invested in the construction of water and sewage systems in these municipalities to meet its concession service commitments. Upon the unilateral termination of the Diadema and Mauá concessions, the municipalities took on the responsibility of providing water and sewage services in these areas. At that time, the Company reclassified from property, plant and equipment balances relating to the impounded assets to long-term assets (indemnities receivable) and recorded impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of the assets to the estimated recoverable amounts for which the Company had contractually agreed as fair compensation with the relevant authorities. The net book value of property, plant and equipment items relating to the municipality of Diadema, written-off in December 1996, was R$ 75,231, and the balance of indemnity and other receivables from this municipality was R$ 62,876 at September 30, 2006. The net book value of the property, plant and equipment items relating to the municipality of Mauá, written-off in fiscal year 1999, was R$ 103,763, and the balance of indemnity receivable from the municipality was R$ 85,918 at September 30, 2006

The Company’s rights to the recovery of these amounts are being disputed by the municipalities and no amount has been received to date.

In December 1996, SABESP filed a claim seeking compensation for the amounts due by the municipality of Diadema.

With respect to Mauá, a decision has been issued by the lower court requiring Mauá to pay an amount of R$ 153,2 million as compensation for the loss of profits. This decision was appealed by Mauá and is pending appeal court decision.

Based on the advice of legal counsel, management continues to affirm that the Company has the legal right to receive such amounts and it continues to monitor the status of the legal proceedings. However, the ultimate amounts to be received, if any, will most likely be subject to a final court decision. As such, actual amounts received could differ from those recorded.

In the 3Q06, tax expenses presented a decrease of R$ 1.5 million, or 17.0%, in relation to the 3Q05, going from R$ 8.8 million to R$ 7.3 million, due mostly to the payment of CPMF in the amount of R$ 2.2 million when US$275 million Eurobonds were settled in July 2005, non recurring.

16.01 - OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED BY THE COMPANY TO BE RELEVANT SUPPLEMENTARY 
 

Supplementary information

In order to improve the information provided to the market, the Company presents, as supplementary information, the financial statements in the constant currency method.

1. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION IN “CONSTANT CURRENCY METHOD”

(a) Restatement Index

The monetary adjustment of the operations relating to permanent assets, shareholder’s equity, income statement accounts and the calculation of gains and losses in monetary items have been measured based on the variation of the Accounting Monetary Unit - UMC, taking as basis the variation of the General Prices Index - Market - IGP-M, that in the 3rd quarter of 2006 was 0.84% and of 2.27% accumulated in the year.

(b) Balance sheet accounts

Amounts related to monetary assets and liabilities presented in “constant currency method” are similar to those presented by “corporate legislation”, except for accounts receivable from customers, accounts payable to suppliers and contractors, deferred income tax and social contribution in long-term liabilities, which are adjusted to reflect purchasing power or currency realization as of September 30, 2006, taking as basis the rate published by the National Association of Investment Banks - ANBID.

Permanent assets and shareholders’ equity were adjusted based on the monthly variation of the UMC, updated by the IGP-M until September 30, 2006.

(c) Income statement accounts

All accounts have been monetarily restated based on the variation of the UMC, beginning on the month of recording, adjusted for inflationary gains and losses calculated on each month’s beginning and ending balances of monetary assets and liabilities, and that generated financial or inflationary nominal income and expenses, which have been considered as reductions to the income statement accounts to which they are related.

(d) Deferred taxes and contributions

Deferred income tax and social contribution have been calculated based on the rates of 15%, plus an additional 10%, and 9%, respectively, on the surplus of property, plant and equipment generated by its monetary variation, in accordance with the instructions of CVM, consolidated in IBRACON – Brazilian Institute of the Independent Auditors of Statement No. 006/99.

The amounts presented are in constant currency method as of September 30, 2006.
