1. OPERATIONS

Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo – (“SABESP” or “Company”) is engaged in the operation of public water and sewage systems in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, providing water and sewage services to a broad range of residential, commercial, industrial and government customers. 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.

SABESP provides water and sewage services in 368 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, nearly all of which are through concessions granted by the municipalities. Most of these concessions have 30-year terms, 17 of which expire in 2005, 127 in 2006, 29 in 2007, 22 in 2008, 32 in 2009, 46 in 2010 and the remainder between 2011 and 2034. Each of these concessions is automatically renewable for a period equal to its initial term, unless the municipality or SABESP exercises the right to terminate the concession, through notification by either party, at least six months prior to its expiration date.

The Company does not hold a formal concession to provide water and sewage services in the City of São Paulo, which accounts for a substantial portion of the sales and services rendered. In Santos, a municipality located in the Santos Coastal Area, which also has a significant population, SABESP operates under a public authorization, like in some other municipalities in the Santos Coastal Area and the Ribeira Valley, where the Company started operating after the merger of the companies that formed SABESP.

2. PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) regulations.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

(a) Determination of results of operations

(i) Revenue from sales and services

Revenue for water and sewer services is recognized as water is consumed or as services are provided. Revenue from water and sewer services rendered but not billed until the end of the periods is recorded as unbilled customer accounts receivable based on monthly estimates in order to match such revenue with costs incurred.

(ii) Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expense are 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 tax and social contribution taxes

Income tax and social contribution are recorded on an accrual basis. The provisions for income tax and deferred income tax on tax losses and on temporary differences are recorded at the baserate of 15% plus an additional of 10%. The provisions for social contribution on net income and deferred social contribution on tax losses and on temporary differences are recorded at the rate of 9%.

(iv) Other income and expenses

Other income and expenses are reported on an accrual basis.

(b) Financial investments

Financial investments are comprised mainly by Financial Investment Funds (FIF) and are stated at cost plus accrued interest (pro rata temporis) until the end of the period, up to the limit of the market value.

(c) Allowance for doubtful accounts

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for receivable balances 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 is deemed by the Management to be sufficient to cover probable losses, based on an aging analysis of receipts, taking into consideration the expected recovery in the different categories of customers. For accounts receivable balances under R$ 5 and overdue more than 180 days, such balances are written off through a direct charge to income.

(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 aquisition cost or realization 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) Permanent assets

These are stated at adjusted cost up to December 31, 1995, and take the following into consideration:

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method at the annual rates mentioned in Note 6.a.

The revaluation of property, plant and equipment items, carried out in two separate stages in 1990 and 1991, was based on an appraisal report issued by independent experts. The referred revaluation was stated with a corresponding entry to the credit of the “revaluation reserve” account, in the shareholders’ equity, and is realized through depreciation, sale, and disposal of the respective assets, with a corresponding entry to “retained earnings”.

Interest charges on financings raised with third parties for construction in progress are capitalized as part of the cost of assets.

Deferred charges are amortized on the straight-line basis over five years as from the date when benefits start to be generated.

(g) Loans and financings

Loans and financing are adjusted by indexation charges and foreign exchange variations and include accruals for related interest expenses.

(h) Provision for vacation pay

The provision for vacation pay and respective payroll charges is accrued as earned.

(i) Provision for contingencies

Provisions for contingencies are recorded to cover eventual losses related to labor, tax, civil, commercial and other lawsuits, at administrative and court levels, which are considered by legal counsel to be probable and able to be estimated at June 30, 2005.

(j) Environmental expenditures

Expenditures relating to ongoing environmental programs are recorded 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 activities. Provisions with respect to such costs are recorded at the time they are considered to be probable and able to be reasonably estimated.

(k) Actuarial liability

The Company sponsors a private defined benefit pension plan. CVM Deliberation 371 of December 13, 2000 determines the recognition of actuarial liabilities exceeding the fair value of the assets of the pension plans. Liabilities ascertained at December 31, 2001 have been recognized over a period of 5 years, as from fiscal year 2002.

(l) Other current liabilities and long-term liabilities

These are stated at their known or estimated amounts, including accrued charges and monetary and foreign exchange variations, when applicable.

(m) Interest on shareholder’s equity

This interest has been recorded in accordance with Law 9249/95, for tax deductibility purposes, being limited to the daily pro-rata variation of the Long-term Interest Rate (TJLP) and recorded in conformity with CVM Deliberation 207/96.

(n) Profit per thousand shares

Profit per thousand shares is calculated based on the number of shares outstanding at the balance sheet date.

(o) Use of estimates

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

Amounts received    (22,748)   (72,650)

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.

(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.

(ii) Reimbursement for pensions and benefits paid

Reimbursement for pension and benefits paid represents supplementary pension and leave benefit paid by the Company on behalf of the State Government to former employees of State Government-owned companies which merged to form SABESP. These amounts should be reimbursed to the Company by the State Government, as the primary obligor, and do not bear interests. The budget proposal of the State of São Paulo Government, as approved by the State House of Representatives, includes funds referring to such obligation.

(iii) GESP Agreement

On December 11, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with the State Government (“GESP Agreement”), under which the State Government acknowledged a debt, among others, for services rendered by the Company of water supply and sewage collection, totaling R$ 358,207 on that date, representing services rendered until December 01, 2001, having further agreed to pay the amounts due. Additionally, the State Government acknowledged and agreed to pay amounts owed to the Company in connection with supplemental retirement and pension benefits paid by the Company, on its behalf, in the amount of R$ 320,623 on that date.

The GESP Agreement sets forth that the Water and Electric Power Department – DAEE will transfer, as partial payment to the Company, the title to the Taiacupeba, Jundiaí, Biritiba, Paraitinga and Ponte Nova reservoirs, which make up the Alto Tietê System, and the amount of such assets will reduce the amounts owed to the Company. The asset value of these reservoirs was ascertained based on the arithmetic average of independent evaluations carried out by CPOS – Companhia de Obras e Serviços (a state-owned building company selected by the State Government) and by ENGEVAL – Engenharia de Avaliação (an independent appraisal company selected by the Company). The payment of the amounts owed in excess to the fair market value of the reservoirs, as agreed upon between the parties, shall be effected by the State of São Paulo Government in 114 monthly successive installments, monthly adjusted by the IGP-M index, added by interests of 6% per annum, beginning from the maturity date of the first installment. Under the terms of the Agreement, the first original payment should have been effected in July 2002, however it was postponed because the parties did not reach an agreement as for the fair value of the reservoirs and the audit and specific analysis of the amounts due ascertained by the experts appointed by the State Government were not concluded. The arithmetic average of the market value of the reservoirs at June 30, 2002 was R$ 300,880, based on the discounted cash flow, reflecting the Company’s investments in such reservoirs.

Additionally, pursuant to the memorandum of understanding and the GESP Agreement, the State Government may authorize the Company to use dividends, including interests on net equity stated by the Company and any other obligation payable to the State Government, for offsetting against accounts receivable for services of water supply and sewage collection rendered to the State Government.

Based on official letter no. 53/2005, the Council for Defense of the State Capitals – CODEC, dated March 21, 2005, renegotiations between the Company and the State Government have been resumed with a view to obtain the settlement of the debt relating to the supplementary retirement and pension benefits, under the terms set forth in the GESP agreement, including amounts overdue after November 2001. These renegotiations must be restated in a second amendment to the Agreement between the State Government and Sabesp. The Company shall retain FIPECAFI to calculate the amounts actually reimbursable by the State Government, taking into consideration the legal advice provided by the State Attorneys’ Office.

Once the debt amount is calculated and the monetary adjustment criterion is determined, Sabesp will be entitled to take the applicable actions with the DAEE in order to obtain the ownership rights over the Alto Tietê System reservoirs, since no court hindrance exists, having in regard that the State has timely filed an appeal against the judgment rendered in the civil public action and was granted suspension of the effects thereof.

The referred second addendum must provide for the criteria for monthly recovery of future amounts to be disbursed by Sabesp.

Since these renegotiations are at their initial stage, it is not possible to ascertain the net effects over the balance sheet arising from such renegotiation. The Management does not estimate that it will incur significant net losses relating to the differences ascertained between the amounts deemed to be reimbursable by 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 the 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 shareholders’ 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, of R$ 581,779, and the Company acknowledged amounts due to the State Government with respect to interests on shareholder’s equity in the amount of R$ 518,732.

The Company and the State Government have agreed to the reciprocal offset of R$ 404,889 (monetarily adjusted through February 2004), which were settled up to April 31, 2005. The remaining obligation, of R$ 186,568 is subject to monthly monetary adjustment at the Expanded Consumer Price Index – IPCA/IBGE, plus interests of 0.5%, of which R$ 137,898 are recorded in long term assets and R$ 48,670 in current assets and is has been monthly paid since May 2005.

Management believes that the amounts due from the State Government are collectible and does not expect to incur losses on these accounts receivable.

(b) Cash

The Company’s balance of cash and financial investments acounts with financial institutions controlled by the State Government was R$ 169,434 at June 30, 2005 (R$ 244,993 at March 31, 2005). The financial income from such investments was R$ 15,466 and R$ 11,687, in the periods ended on June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(c) Agreement for use of 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 another company controlled by the State of São Paulo Government. The Company does not pay any fees with respect to the use of these reservoirs, but is responsible for maintaining and funding their operating costs.

The Company has the right to draw water and exploit the reservoirs for a period of 30 years, counted as from 1997.

The owners of these properties will be compensated either through negotiated settlements or judicial arbitration. Disbursements to be effected as from the third quarter of 2005, without a date set for the actual disbursement, are estimated to be approximately R$ 279,900 (not reviewed by the independent auditors), which will be paid out of Company funds. The assets to be received as a result of these negotiations will be recorded as property, plant, and equipment after the transaction is completed. The amount referring to expropriations in the second quarter of 2005 was R$ 4,028 (2004 – R$ 668).

e) Tax effects on assets revaluation

Property, plant and equipment were revaluated in 1990 and 1991 and have been depreciated at annual rates wich take into consideration the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the assets as determined in the respective valuation reports that generally do not exceed the original depreciable lives.

As permitted by CVM Instruction 197/93, the Company did not post a provision for the tax effects (deferred taxes) on the revaluation surplus of property, plant and equipment carried out in 1990 and 1991. Had this effect been accounted for, the amount unrealized up to June 30, 2005 would be R$ 476,314 (Jun/2004 – R$ 507,507). In the period from January to June 2005, the realized revaluation reserve was R$ 44,626 (January to June 2004 – R$ 57,383).

f) Intangible assets

As from 1998, negotiations relating to new concessions were carried out based on the economic-financial results of the relevant business, as established on appraisal reports issued by independent experts.

The amount provided for in the respective contract, after the transaction is closed with the municipal government and carried out either through subscription of shares in the Company or in cash, is posted to the intangible assets account and amortized over the related concession period.

The debt shall be paid in 120 months, added by interests at the TJLP rate, the amount thereof being subject to homologation by the Federal Revenue Service.

10. PROVISIONS FOR CONTINGENCIES

(a) In current liabilities

The Company has booked the amount of R$ 30,979 (Mar/2005 – R$ 30,684) in the current liabilities, under the item “Provisions”, referring to lawsuits in progress, for which a judgment has been rendered and is currently executed.

(i) Customers – these refer to claims filed by customers seeking tariff parity.

(ii) Finsocial – In July 1991 an Ordinary Annulment and Declaratory Action was filed by SABESP, through proceedings no. 91.0663460 -5, requesting FINSOCIAL debts to be declared null and void and the Company’s obligation to contribute to FINSOCIAL to be declared extinguished.

Deposits were effected in court, with application of a 2% rate, for the period from April 1991 up to April 1992. On August 30, 1994, authorization was granted for releasing 75% of such deposits, and the remaining 25% thereof, to which a 0.5% rate was applied, remained as court deposit and a provision was booked for such purpose.

Upon the acknowledgement, by the STF – Federal Supreme Court, of the constitutionality of assessment of FINSOCIAL on the gross revenue of exclusively service providers, which judgment, in the understanding of our legal counsels, has its effects over the discussion on the merits by SABESP, the Company, on July 26, 2002, discharged the amount of R$ 57,016, corresponding to 1.5% of the total amount due, and requested the conversion into income of the court deposit on the Federal Revenue Service’s behalf, thus dismissing the lawsuit referring to proceedings no. 91.0663460 -5, currently under formalization.

(b) In long-term liabilities

The Company, based on an analysis with its legal advisors, recorded a provision for contingencies in the amount of R$ 528,084 (Mar/2005 – R$ 491,256), considered sufficient to meet probable losses on legal actions.

(i) Civil claims – These refer to claims for material damages, pain and suffering and loss of profits caused to third parties, being currently processed in lower and/or appellate courts, with provisions having been duly booked for those classified as probable loss.

(ii) Contractors – these refer to actions filed by construction companies alleging underpayment of monetary adjustments, withholding of amounts related to disregard of effects of the Real Plan and economic-financial unbalance of the contract. These actions are currently processed at lower and/or appellate courts, with provisions having been duly booked for those classified as probable loss.

(iii) Customers – these refer to actions filed by commercial customers claiming tariff parity, and consequently, refund of amounts collected by the Company. Decisions to date have been both favorable and unfavorable to the Company in lower and/or appellate courts, with provisions having been duly booked for those classified as probable loss.

(iv) Environmental claims – these refer to several administrative proceedings brought by public agencies, including Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental – CETESB, seeking the imposition of fine for environmental damages purportedly caused by the Company.

(v) Labor claims – the Company is defending several labor claims, referring to overtime, health hazard and risk, prior dismissal notice, job diversion, salary parity and others, most of the amounts involved being under provisional or definite execution, at lower and/or appellate courts, thus being classified as of probable loss and, consequently, duly provisioned.

(c) Lawsuits classified as possible loss

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits and administrative proceedings relating to environmental, tax, civil and labor issues, which are deemed by our legal advisors to be possible losses and which are not provisioned in the Company’s accounts. The aggregate amount referring to such proceedings is of approximately R$ 1,363,750 at June 30, 2005 (Mar/2005 – R$ 1,204,286)

At December 31, 2004, based on an independent actuary report, SABESP had a net actuarial liability of R$ 328,605, representing the difference between the present value of the Company’s liability to the participating employees, retired employees, and pensioners, and the fair value of the plan assets.

The Company chose to recognize the liability over a five-year period as from 2002. The Actuarial Liabilities at June 30, 2005, in the amount of R$ 249,736 (Mar/2005 – R$ 235,963), is recorded in Long-Term Liabilities.

In 2005 the estimated expense is R$ 65,705. Expenses were recorded from January to June 2005, as shown below:

    2Q/05    1S/05    2Q/04    1S/04 
         
Repassed to Sabesprev    3,357    6,695    3,158    6,449 
Actuarial liability recorded    13,773    27,560    19,256    38,365 
         
Total recorded    17,130    34,255    22,414    44,814 

The amount referring to past service cost is recorded as “extraordinary item”, net of the related taxes.

13. PROFIT SHARING

As a result of negotiations held by the Company with entities representing the employees, a Profit Sharing Program was implemented for the period from July 2004 to June 2005, with the payment of an amount corresponding to up to one month’s payroll, depending on achievement of targets.

In December 2004, the Company paid in advance R$ 20,717, equivalent to 50% of one month’s payroll; a provision in the amount of R$ 24,918 (R$ 14,147 in the 2nd quarter of 2005) was booked for the semester, which is recorded in current liabilities, under “Salaries and payroll charges”, with the supplementary payment to be made by the end of August 2005.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(a) Market value of financial instruments

The calculation to determine the market value of these financial instruments is made annually by the Company’s Management.

(b) Concentration of credit risk

A significant portion of sales is made to a broad customer base. Credit risk is mitigated due to the large portfolio and the control procedures, which monitor this risk.

The allowance for possible loan losses is sufficient to cover realization losses.

(c) Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency consist of borrowings for specific works of improvement and expansion of the Company’s water supply and sewage collection and treatment services.

16. COMPENSATION FOR CONCESSION TERMINATION

The Municipalities of Diadema and Mauá terminated the concessions of water supply and sewage collection at the beginning of 1995.

In December 1996, SABESP filed claims to seek payment of amounts owed by the municipality of Diadema. The lower court judge rendered an unfavorable decision to SABESP, against which an appeal was filed in November 2000. No decision had been rendered for the appeal up to March 2005. This claim was followed by several other related legal procedures, which are currently pending decision.

The residual net book value of property, plant and equipment relating to the Municipality of Diadema, written-off in December 1996, amounted to R$ 75,231, and the claim balance and other receivables from the municipality amounting to R$ 62,876 are recorded under long-term receivables in “Compensation for concession termination”.

SABESP executed a memorandum of intent with the municipality of Mauá when the concession was terminated, through which Mauá agreed to pay the amounts owed to the Company for the reversal of the water and sewage systems. However, the Mauá City Hall has never paid any amount whatsoever. SABESP filed a collection proceeding in December 1996 against Mauá. By way of indemnity, the judgment rendered in 2004 sentenced Mauá City Hall and SAMA to pay the amount of R$ 153.2 million, duly adjusted in accordance with the practical table of the São Paulo State Justice Court, as from March 2000, added by interests since the service of process, legal costs and expenses and 20% attorneys’ fees. This award was converted into judgment, subject to double jurisdiction. An appeal was filed by Mauá City Hall and SAMA and SABESP has recently filed its counterarguments against the appeal.

The residual value of property, plant and equipment relating to the Municipality of Mauá, written off in fiscal year 1999, amounted to R$ 103,763, and the claim balance, in the amount of R$ 85,918, is recorded in long term assets, under “Compensation for concession termination.”

Both claims are pending court decision (Mauá and Diadema), and the legal advisor conducting the litigation considers that a favorable outcome for the Company is probable.

     (R$ million)
 
Financial Highlights    2Q04    2Q05    Change 
 
Net Operating Revenue    1,038.9    1,231.3         18.5%

EBITDA Margin    42.4%    45.5%

(*) Earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation and amortization 

SABESP recorded net operating revenue of R$ 1,231.3 million, with EBITDA of R$ 560.2 million in the 2Q05. The final result for the period, a profit of R$ 335.7 million, was mainly due to the 23.3% increase in the gross operating revenue and to the positive effect of the 11.8% appreciation in Brazilian reais in relation to North-American dollar in the period.

2. Gross operating revenue – 18.5% growth

The net operating revenue recorded an increase of R$ 192.4 million, or 18.5%, which is a result of the 6.8% tariff adjustment as from August 29, 2004, of the 5.7% increase in billed water and sewage services, migration of consumers to consumption levels with higher tariff, and end of the reasonable use of water program. However, such increase was minimized by the increase of R$ 59.2 million resulting from the changes occurred in the COFINS-PASEP legislation.

The charts below show volumes of water and sewage services billed to the retail and wholesale market broken down by user category and region in the second quarters of 2004 and 2005:

3.1. Salaries and Payroll Charges

These reported a 3.0% increase of R$ 8.1 million. Such increase is mainly due to the 7.94% salary, benefits and charges increase, as from May 2005, as a result of the collective bargaining agreement, with an impact of approximately R$ 19.3 million, partially offset by the 1.3% reduction in the staff. Another factor that contributed to such lower variation is related to the payment of an allowance corresponding to 20% of the result obtained from the Profit Maximization Program in the same period of 2004 in the amount of R$ 9.4 million.

3.2. General Supplies

These reported a R$ 7.4 million or 35.6% increase, mainly due to maintenance of operating systems in the amount of R$ 2.7 million, maintenance of residential water connections in the amount of R$ 1.6 million, and fuels and lubricating oils for the Company’s vehicles, in the amount of R$ 1.0 million.

3.3. Treatment Supplies

These posted a R$ 3.5 million or 15.5% increase, caused by variation in the following materials: aluminum sulphate in the amount of R$ 1.5 million and chlorine in the amount of R$ 1.1 million. Aluminum sulphate was used in larger amounts in substitution for other products with higher prices. In case of chlorine, the increase was due to bad water quality, which required a larger amount of chlorine to be applied in order to meet the desired parameters.

3.4. Services

These recorded a R$ 18.3 million or 18.6% increase, mainly in technical professional services related to the structuring and placement of the 8th issue of debentures, maintenance and improvement of the RMSP tele-assistance system, studies for development of strategies for universalization of sanitation services (Tietê project – stage II), tariff study, Social Responsibility institutional program, strategic plan and management support mechanisms, and studies and researchs in sludge disposal programs at Sewage Treatment Stations (ETEs) and Water Treatment Stations (ETAs), and in maintenance of residential water connections (Global Sourceing Program).

3.5. Electric Power

This recorded a R$ 18.4 million or 20.3% increase, caused by the average growth of 18.0% in electric power tariffs. As far as electric power consumption is concerned, there was a 0.2% drop in the second quarter of 2005 (509,536 MWh) in relation to the same period of 2004 (510,399 MWh), due to the Energy Efficiency Program.

3.6. General Expenses

These increased by R$ 21.9 million or 93.2%, a result, mainly, of the provision for civil contingencies, in the amount of R$ 13.4 million, due to review and change in the outlooks of lawsuits already in progress and allowance for losses in the amount of R$ 4.5 million.

3.7. Credit Write-off

This recorded a R$ 6.4 million or 9.6% reduction, mainly were due to credits recovery as a result of payments effected and settlements with defaulting customers.

3.8. Tax Expenses

These recorded a R$ 1.9 or 36.5% increase, mainly due to the CPMF tax resulting from advanced purchase of Dollars.

4. Financial Expenses and Inflation and Exchange Losses on Monetary Items

4.1 Financial Expenses

These recorded a R$ 3.7 million reduction, as a result of:

4.2 Inflation and Exchange Losses on Monetary Items

Inflation and exchange losses on monetary items recorded a variation of R$ 448.8 million, mainly due to the 11.8% appreciation of reais in relation to the North-American Dollar in 2Q05, against the 6.8% devaluation occurred in 2Q04.

16.01 – OTHER INFORMATION DEEMED BY THE COMPANY TO BE RELEVANT 
 

Supplementary Information

In order to improve the information provided to the market, the Company is presenting, as supplementary information, the financial statements in a constant purchasing power currency.

1. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION IN “CONSTANT PURCHASING POWER CURRENCY”

(a) Monetary indexation

The monetary indexation of the operations relating to the permanent assets, shareholders’ equity, income statement accounts and ascertainment of profits and losses in monetary items was measured based on the variation of the Accounting Monetary Unit – UMC, taking for basis the variation of the General Market Prices Index – IGP-M in the 2nd quarter, of 0.20% and year-to-date, of 1.75% .

(b) Balance sheet accounts

Amounts related to monetary assets and liabilities presented in “constant purchasing power currency” are identical to those presented in accordance with the “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 the purchasing power or currency realization at June 30, 2005, taking for basis the rate determined 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 up to June 30, 2005.

(c) Income statement accounts

All the income statement accounts were indexed for inflation based on the variation of the UMC, as from the month when they were booked, adjusted in accordance with inflation gains and losses ascertained on the balances at the beginning and end of every month for monetary assets and liabilities, and which generated financial or nominal inflationary expenses and income, which were considered to reduce the respective income statement accounts to which they were attached.

(d) Deferred taxes and contributions

Deferred income tax and social contribution were calculated based on the rates of 15% plus additional 10% and 9%, respectively, on the surplus value of the properties and rights in the permanent assets generated by the result of their monetary adjustment, in conformity with the instructions of the CVM, as provided for in Communication no. 99/006 issued by the IBRACON – Brazilian Institute of Independent Accountants.
