1. OPERATIONS
Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - Sabesp (the Company or Sabesp) is a mixed-capital company headquartered in São Paulo, controlled by the São Paulo State Government. The Company is engaged in the provision of basic and environmental sanitation services, and supplies treated water on a bulk basis and provides sewage treatment services for another six municipalities of the Greater São Paulo Metropolitan Area.
In addition to providing basic sanitation services in the State of São Paulo, SABESP may perform these activities in other states and countries, and can operate in drainage, urban cleaning, solid waste handling and energy markets. The Company has been structuring itself to enhance its operating basis and at the same time start to be an environmental solutions company.
The Company operates water and sewage services in 366 municipalities of the State of São Paulo, having temporarily ceased the operation of two of these municipalities due to judicial orders, still in progress. In the majority of these municipalities, the operations result from concession contracts signed for 30 years. Up to December 31, 2007, 78 concession contracts have expired and until December 31, 2008, 19 concessions will expire, all of them are being negotiated with the municipalities. Between 2009 and 2030, 117 concessions will expire. The remaining concessions are for an undetermined term. Up to June 30, 2008, 122 program contracts have been executed.
Management believes that all concessions terminated and not yet renewed will result in new contracts or extensions, and does not consider the risk of discontinuity in the provision of municipal water and sewage services. As of June 30, 2008, the book value of property, plant and equipment used in the 97 municipalities under negotiation totals R$1.93 billion and revenue for the same period totals R$447 million.
In the municipality of Santos, in the Santista owland, which has a significant population, the Company operates supported by a public authorization deed, a similar situation in other municipalities in that region and in the Ribeira valley, where the Company started to operate after the merger of the companies that formed it.
On January 5, 2007, Law 11445 was enacted, establishing the basic sanitation regulatory framework, providing for the nationwide guidelines and basic principles for the provision of such services, such as social control, transparency, the integration authority of sanitation infrastructures, water resources management, and the articulation between industry policies and public policies for urban and regional development, housing, suppression of poverty, promotion of health and environmental protection, and other related issues. The regulatory framework also aims at efficiently improving quality of living and economic sustainability, allowing for the adoption of gradual and progressive solutions consistent with users payment ability.
As benefits for the Company, this law:
Clarifies the conditions for transitional services, by amending Article 42 of the Concession Law to determine that the Concession Grantor has to perform evaluations, surveys and payment of compensation prior to repossession of the concession assets, as a condition for the validity of the subsequent municipal actions;
Page: 10
Significantly reduces the possibility of a favorable outcome in legal actions for immediately repossessing services, without the payment of compensation;
Aims at improving the attainment of public interests related to the environment and supports State planning of services, without disregarding local peculiarities, taking into consideration the need for the Municipalities to present sanitation plans that are compatible with the hydrographic basin plans;
Imposes the creation of a regulatory agency and the issue of regulations that increase transparency and efficiency in services inspections, as well as in the provision of services itself, safeguarding and converging the different interests of consumers and contractors;
Another important change in the regulatory environment in 2007 was the creation of the São Paulo State Sanitation and Power Regulatory Agency (ARSESP).
The Companys shares have been listed on the "Novo Mercado" (New Market) segment of the BOVESPA (São Paulo Stock Exchange) since April 2002, and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as ADRs since May 2002.
2. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim financial stateme nts have been prepared in accordance with the standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including CVM Instruction No. 469/08.
Amendment to Brazilian Corporate Law, effective January 2008
On December 28, 2007, Law No. 11638 was enacted, altering, revoking and adding new provisions to the Brazilian Corporate Law, especially with respect to chapter XV. This Law is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2008 and was designed primarily to update the Brazilian Corporate Law, so as to enable the convergence of Brazilian accounting practices with international accounting standards (IFRS) and allow the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) to issue new accounting standards and procedures, in conformity with such international accounting standards.
The main changes are summarized as follows:
- Replacement of the statement of changes in financial position by the statement of cash flows.
- Requirement for the presentation of a statement of value added.
- Possibility of maintaining separate accounting records for purposes of complying with tax legislation and reflecting necessary adjustments in order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with Brazilian Corporate Law.
- Creation of the account groups Intangible Assets in permanent assets and valuation adjustments in shareholders equity.
- Standardization of the criteria for measurement and classification of financial instruments, including derivatives.
Page: 11
- Requirement that periodic review and analysis of the recoverability of amounts recorded in property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets and deferred.
- Elimination of the possibility to record the premium received on issue of debentures and donations and government investment grants (including tax incentives) directly as capital reserves in shareholders equity. Tax incentives arising from donations and government investment grants for investments will no longer be classified as capital reserve, becoming part of income for the year. The Companys management may allocate a portion of net income resulting from these incentives to the formation of a profit reserve and it may be deducted from the calculation basis of the mandatory dividend.
- Requirement to record under the caption property, plant and equipment those rights in tangible assets that are maintained or used in the operations of the Companys business, including those rights received as a result of transactions that transfer the benefits, risks and control of such assets to the Company (e.g., capital lease).
- Modification of the definition of those assets to be recorded under the caption deferred charges.
- Adjustments to present value for assets and liabilities arising from long-term transactions, as well as for significant short-term transactions. On June, 2008, in function of the relevance of the amounts, the adjustment to present value related to program contracts have been recorded in the amount of R$13,490, explanatory Note No. 7 (b)., as provided by Instruction CVM No. 469/08 , below.
On May 2, 2008, the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) issued the Instruction No. 469/08 that provides for the application of Law No. 11638/07. This Instruction permits companies to immediately apply to 2008 interim financial statements all the provision of the new Law or disclose in notes to the interim financial statements the changes that might have a material impact on the financial statements as of the 2008 yearend, by estimating the possible effects on shareholders' equity and the statement of income.
The Company elected to disclose the effects of the new law in notes to the interim financial statements and effectively record in the interim financial statements as of June 30, and March 31, 2008, those items considered material and mandatory in Instruction No. 469/08. Consequently, the amount of R$11,727 , related to donations received in the first quarter of 2008 (R$8,627 in the second quarter of 2008) was recorded as deferred income, until it is regulated definitively, in addition to adjustment to present value mentioned above.
The Company elected to maintain recorded the revaluation reserve until its effective realization.
In addition to the issue of CVM Instruction No. 469/08, the Company considers that even though most of the provisions amended by the new Law still depend on regulation to be issued by the CVM, the material issues that might change the presentation of the financial statements are already being adopted or disclosed, and refer to the segregation of the group Intangible assets in permanent assets, the disclosure of the statements of cash flows (as disclosed in Note 19) and value added (as disclosed in Note 20), and measurement at market value of the financial instruments, disclosed comparatively to their carrying amount in Note 15.

Receipts | (71,805) | (78,416) |
(i) Water and sewage services
The Company provides supply services of water and collection of sewage to the Government of the State of Sao Paulo and other companies related to it, under terms and conditions considered by Management as normal in the market, except as to the form of settlement of the credit s, that may be realized under the conditions mentioned in items (iii), (iv) and (v).
(ii) Reimbursement of additional retirement and pension benefits paid
Refers to amounts that supplement retirement and pension benefits paid by the Company to former employees from state-owned companies that merged to form the Company. The amounts involved have to be reimbursed to the Company by the São Paulo State Government in its capacity of main debtor pursuant to State Law No. 200/74. As of June 30 and March 31, 2008, 2,613 retired employees received additional retirement benefits and for the quarters ended June 30 and March 31, 2008, the Company paid R$ 25.270 and R$24,466, respectively. There were 143 active employees as of June 30 and March 31, 2008 who will be entitled to these benefits on their retirement.
(iii) Gesp Agreement
Entered into on December 11, 2001 between the Company, the São Paulo State Government (through the State Finance Department) and the Water and Electric Energy Department (DAEE), with the intermediation of the Water Resources, Sanitation and Construction Works Department, in which the State acknowledges that, under Law No. 200/74 it is accountable for the benefits arising from additional retirement and pension benefits and recognizes the existence of debts arising from bills related to the provision of water supply and sewage services. The total agreement amounted to R$678,830, at its historical value, R$320,623 of which refers to additional retirement and pension benefits in the period between March 1986 and November 2001, and R$358,207 arising from the provision of water supply and sewage collection services, billed and due between 1985 and December 1, 2001.
In view of the strategic importance of the Taiaçupeba, Jundiaí, Biritiba, Paraitinga and Ponte Nova reservoirs for guaranteeing and maintaining the Upper Tietê water volume, the Water and Electric Energy Department (DAEE) intends to transfer these assets to the Company as partial amortization, by assigning a receivable in the amount owed by the State. The appraisal of the reservoirs was approved by the Companys Board of Directors and indicates the amount of R$300,880 (base date - June 2002), as mentioned in the related report. However, there is a civil class action in the São Paulo State Appeals Court involving the transfer of these reservoirs. The Companys legal counsel evaluate the risk of loss from this lawsuit as probable, which would hinder the transfer of the related reservoirs as a partial amortization of the balance receivable.
The balances of water supply and sewage collection services were included in the First and Second amendments as described below (iv) and (v). The balances related to the reimbursement of additional retirement and pension benefits were included in the Commitment Agreement between the São Paulo State and Sabesp, as described below (vi).
Page: 16
(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, (1) consolidating and recognizing the amounts due by the State Government for water supply and sewage collection services provided, monetarily adjusted until February 2004; (2) formally authorizing the offset of amounts due by the State Government with interest on capital declared by the Company and any other debit existing with the State Government as of December 31, 2003, monetarily adjusted until February 2004; and (3) defining the payment conditions of the remaining liabilities of the State Government for the receipt of the water supply and sewage collection services.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the State Government recognized the amounts due to the Company for water supply and sewage collection services provided until February 2004 in the amount of R$581,779, including monetary adjustment based on the TR at the end of each year until February 2004. The Company recognized amounts payable to the State Government related to interest on capital in the amount of R$518,732, including (1) amounts declared related to years prior to 2003 (R$126,967), (2) monetary adjustment of these amounts based on the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (IPC/Fipe) until February 2004 (R$31,098); and (3) amounts declared and due related to 2003 (R$360,667).
The Company and the State Government agreed on the mutual offset of R$404,889 (monetarily adjusted until February 2004). As of November 30, 2007, the remaining balance of this agreement was R$133,709, which was subject to the Second Amendment to the Gesp Agreement (v).
The Amendment to the Gesp Agreement does not provide for amounts due by the State Government related to the additional retirement and pension plan benefits paid on behalf of the State Government by the Company, which are subject to the Commitment Agreement described below (vi).
(v) Second Amendment to the Gesp Agreement
On December 28, 2007, the Company and the State Government, through the Finance Department, signed the second amendment to the terms of the original Gesp Agreement, (1) agreeing upon the payment in installments of the remaining balance of the First Amendment, amounting to R$133,709, to be paid in 60 monthly and consecutive installments of the same amount, the first of which falling due on January 2, 2008. The amount of the installments will be monetarily adjusted in accordance with the variation of the IPCA -IBGE, plus interest of 0.5% per month. The balance of this agreement, the installments of which have been paid monthly, includes the amount of R$46,244, which the State does not recognize as due. SABESPs understanding differs from that of the State regarding this amount and does admit the review of these previously agreed-upon amounts without the supported and unequivocal demonstration of the lack of relation between the amounts presented by SABESP and the services effectively provided. For this reason the Company understands that the recognition of an allowance for losses regarding these amounts is not necessary (pursuant to item VII, of the Recitals, of the Second Amendment to the Recognition Instrument, Payment Commitment and Other Covenants between the State of São Paulo and SABESP) (2) with respect to the accounts past due and unpaid in the period between March 2004 and October 2007, arising from the provision of water supply and sewage collection services in the amount of R$256,608, R$235,797 was received, R$8,783 had a change in the debtors registry and R$12,028 is pending confirmation and receipt. These amounts are being jointly analyzed by SABESP and the representatives of the many State depart ments. To date, differences regarding the debtor but not the amount of the debt have been identified. In the event of the reclassification of the entity responsible for paying the account, SABESP will transfer the charge to the respective Entity. The Comp any did not recognize an allowance for losses on this amount as it understands that the differences are substantially related to the identification of the debtor. (3) The interest on capital due by SABESP to the State, related to the period between March 2004 and December 2006, in the amount of R$400,823, adjusted from June 2007 to November 2007, based on the Selic (Central Bank overnight rate), was paid in the period between January and March 2008. (4) The State and SABESP agreed to resume immediately the compliance with their mutual obligations under new assumptions: (a) implementation of an electronic account management system to facilitate and speed up the monitoring of payment processes and management budget procedures; (b) structuring of the Rational Water Use Program (PURA) to rationalize the consumption of water and the amount of the water and sewage bills under the responsibility of the State; (c) establishment, by the State, of criteria for budgeting so as to avoid the reallocation of amounts to a specific water and sewage accounts as from 2008; (d) possibility of registering state bodies and entities in a delinquency system or reference file; (e) possibility of interrupting water supply to state bodies and entities in the case of nonpayment of water and sewage bills.
Page: 17
Out of the revenues of the months from November, 2007 to June, 2008, approximately 80% of the bills have been paid by the State Government. The remaining balance is under analysis and will be received as soon as the validations by State entities are completed.
Management understands that all amounts due by the State Government are receivable and does not expect to incur any losses on such accounts receivable.
(vi) Commitment Agreement entered into by the State of São Paulo and Sabesp
On March 26, 2008, the State of São Paulo, through the Finance Department and the Sanitation and Energy Department, and Sabesp entered into a Commitment Agreement for the settlement of outstanding debts related to the reimbursement of pension benefits.
Even though the State acknowledges its debts related to the pension benefits, the State disagrees with the criteria adopted by SABESP to grant and pay the benefits, based on the legal opinions issued by the State Attorney General, which restrict State actions and prevent the voluntary reimbursement of all amounts paid by Sabesp.
From Sabesps standpoint, the criteria adopted in the past to grant and pay pension benefits were correct, as they were based on specific State authorizations or then effective legal opinions.
The prolongation of the disputes between the State and SABESP is the main reason why the parties did not manage until now to fully implement the provisions of the São Paulo State Government Agreement signed in 2001, described in Note 4 (iii).
Based on preliminary information gathered, under the calculation and eligibility criteria agreed by the State, Sabesp estimated, up to the second quarter of 2008, a Indisputable Reimbursement of approximately R$992.5 million, which comprises monetary adjustment based on the IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) (R$660.9 million in notional amounts). The amount paid by SABESP up to de June 2008 was R$1,562.7 million, adjusted based on the IPCA (R$963.3 million in notional amounts).
The parties agree that this discrepancy should not represent an obstacle to the implementation of the commitments made in the São Paulo State Government Agreement - Note 4 (iii) regarding the Indisputable Reimbursement.
Fipecafi concluded the calculation of the Undisputed Reimbursement and the Disputed Amounts which were expecting the conclusive manifest from the parties, as provided for in the 5th clause of the commitment term. The two expert companies completed the evaluation of the Reservoirs which may be transferred to Sabesp as amortization of the reimbursement due by the State. The Amount of the Undisputed Amount shall incorporate the monthly variation of the IPCA occurred since the month of each disbursement by Sabesp until the month of the conclusion of the calculation works.
Page: 18
Once the amount of the Indisputable Reimbursement is determined and validated by the parties, and the new evaluation of the reservoirs is concluded, the State will initiate the 30-day period for payment of the Indisputable Reimbursement, as provided for by the São Paulo State Government Agreement, in 114 monthly, consecutive installments, including the annual IPCA variation, plus interest of 6% per year.
The State confirms it is willing to assume the responsibility for the processing and direct payment of the benefits if Sabesp succeeds in reversing the court decision that requires the Company to keep paying the pension benefits, under the current terms and conditions. While the current court decision is not overruled, the State will transfer to Sabesp the cash required to pay the indisputable amount of the benefits due monthly.
Sabesp will not waive the receivables from the State to which the Company considers itself to be legally entitled. Accordingly, it will take all possible actions to resolve the issue at all technical and court levels. Should this dispute persist, the Company will take all the necessary actions to protect the Companys interests.
Based on preliminary calculations, considering the reimbursement of the Undisputed Amount by Gesp, approximately estimated in R$992,5 million, considering, among other aspects, the need to record an actuarial obligation to reflect the right to benefits which will be paid in the future, the estimated amount of the obligation to be recorded by the Company would approximately be R$541 million on June 30, 2008 (approximately R$ 526 million on March 31, 2008).
No amounts were accrued for loss or the benefits that will be paid in the future as the likelihood of receiving the outstanding amounts and resolving the existing dispute favorably for the Company is highly probable. This expectation is based, in addition to an internal analysis by the Companys staff, on an outside legal opinion, which concludes, after carefully analyzing the matter, that the likelihood of a favorable outcome in a possible recourse action filed by the Company is highly probable. According to this opinion, the circumstances under which the payment of the benefits was made imposes on the São Paulo State Government the duty of reimbursing the Company, since the Company, as the employer, was merely a co-obligator. The analysis of the main disputes permits to conclude that the criteria adopted by the Company in the past to grant and pay the benefits are reasonable, as they were built based on specific guidance of the São Paulo State Government.
(b) Cash and cash equivalents

5. INDEMNITIES RECEIVABLE
Indemnities receivable are a non-current asset that represents amounts receivable from the Municipalities of Diadema and Mauá as an indemnity for their unilateral termination of the concessions for water supply and sewage collection services of the Company in 1995. As of June 30, 2008, this asset amounted to R$148,794 (nominal amounts).
Due to these concession agreements, the Company invested in the construction of water and sewage systems in those municipalities in order to meet its concession service commitments. For the unilateral termination of the Diadema and Mauá concessions, the municipalities assumed the responsibility of supplying water and sewage services in those regions. At that time, the Company reclassified the balances of property, plant and equipment related to the assets used in those municipalities to non-current assets (indemnities receivable).
The residual value of fixed asset items related to the municipality of Diadema, reclassified on December, 1996, was R$75,231, and the balance of the indemnifications receivable from the municipality was R$62,876.
The residual value of fixed asset items related to the municipality of Maua, reclassified on December, 1999, was R$103,763, and the balance of the indemnifications receivable from the municipality was R$85,918.
The Companys rights to recover these amounts are being challenged by the municipalities and no amount has been received to date.
Sabesp filed lawsuits to collect the amounts due by the municipalities. With respect to Diadema, the decision of the lower court judge was unfavorable to Sabesp, which filed an appeal in November 2000. On December 1, 2005, Sabesps appeal to have the agreement entered into with the municipality of Diadema declared valid was partially accepted. On October 11, 2006, the municipality administration office filed special and extraordinary appeals and on November 21, 2006 the decision that allowed the Company to present its reply to said appeals was published. Sabesp presented its reply on December 6, 2006. The appeals were rejected by the Chief Justice on March 27, 2007 and the municipal administration office filed new interlocutory appeals against this decision. The interlocutory appeal filed in the Federal Supreme Court (STF) was accepted but only for the purposes of determining the sentence for the extraordinary appeal that had been rejected. On December 26, 2007, the decision that accepted the execution of the Companhia de Saneamento the Diadema - Saned was rendered, ordering this company to be summoned to pay the full amount of the debt within 15 days under the penalty of fine. Saned filed an interlocutory appeal against this decision, but the appeal was rejected by the Court of Justice on June 19, 2008. Currently, it is expected to be realized the determination of the foreclosure, with the attachment of Saneds properties.

With regards to Maua, a first level decision was pronounced demanding that the Municipality pays the amount of R$153.2 million as a compensation for damages caused and for loss of profits. This decision was appealed by Mauá on April 15, 2005 and is pending a new decision by the Court. On July 4, 2006, the decision was converted in diligence consisting of an expert clarification on the amount of the indemnity for loss of profits. The clarification was provided on December 18, 2007 and the expert confirmed the amount of the loss of profits determined by the lower court. After the declarations by the parties, the court records were sent for conclusion to the Reporting Justice, who will set a date for the judgment of the appeal.
Both cases are under judicial discussion (Maua and Diadema) and are considered, by the legal counsel in charge of conducting the proceedings, that they will probably be favorable to the Company.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Considering the terms of CVM No. 235/95, the Company performed an evaluation of its accounting assets and liabilities with regards to market values, by means of information available and proper evaluation methodologies. However, both the interpretation of the market data as to the selection of evaluation methods requires considerable judgment and reasonable estimates to produce the most appropriate realization amount. As a consequence, the estimates presented do not necessarily indicate the amounts that may be realized in the current market. The use of different market assumptions and/or methodologies for the estimates may have a s ignificant effect on the estimated realization amounts.
Page: 34
The carrying amounts and the market values of the Companys financial instruments as of June 30, 2008 are as follows:
Carrying | Unrealized gains | |||||
amount | Market value | (losses) | ||||
Temporary cash investments (i) | 286,450 | 286,450 | - | |||

(5,514,976) | (5,534,699) | (19,723) | ||||
(a) Valuation of financial instruments
As of June 30, 2008, the main financial instruments, as well as their valuation criteria, are described below:
(i) Temporary cash investments - The market value of these assets approximates the amounts stated in the Companys balance sheets.
(ii) Loans and financing - Liability financial instruments are divided into two groups:
a. Market debts - Debts incurred to obtain funds in the market to cover possible cash requirements of the Company. The financial instruments composing this group are debentures, bonds and FIDC (Receivable Investment Funds), placed in the financial market through book building or similar procedures, in which yield rates demanded by investors are defined at the time of negotiation.
The market value measurement criteria adopted by the Company for these financial instruments was the UP (unit price) average-deviation method used in the last negotiations, in 2008, carried out in the secondary market in relation to the average UP in the curve.
The information necessary for this measurement was taken from the following sources: SND - Sistema Nacional de Debêntures (National Debenture System), BovespaFix and Bloomberg.
b. Institutional debts - Debts incurred for the purpose of financing a project related to Sabesps corporate purpose: water supply and sewage works.
This financing has long-term features, at specific interest rates defined by development agencies (Caixa Econômica Federal, National Bank for Economic and Social Development, Fehidro), and multilateral agencies (IADB, IBRD, JBIC), which prevents the measuring of this financing at market value.
(b) Exchange rate risk
This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to exchange rate fluctuations, which would increase the liability balances of foreign currency-denominated loans and financing obtained in the market and the related financial expenses. The Company does not have hedge or swap contracts to hedge against this risk, in view of the amounts, costs involved and opportunities. However, when possible, it makes advance purchases of foreign currencies and obtains funding in local currency, as a way to protect against exchange rate fluctuations.
Page: 35
A significant portion of the Companys financial debt was linked to the US dollar and to the Yen, in the total amount of R$1,391,244 (Note 8). The table below summarizes the Companys exposure to exchange rates at June 30, 2008.
In thousands | ||||
US$ | Japanese Yen | |||
Loans and financing | 813,623 | 5,562,318 | ||
(c) Interest rate risk
This risk arises from the possibility that the Company may incur losses due to interest rate fluctuations and indices that increase their interest expenses on loans and financing. The Company has not entered into any derivative contract to hedge against this risk; however, it continually monitors market interest rates, in order to evaluate the possible need to replace its debt. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had R$974,880 in loans and financing which were obtained at variable interest rates (CDI and TJLP).
Another risk faced by the Company is the lack of correlation between the monetary adjustment indices of its debt and those of its receivables. Water supply and sewage treatment tariffs do not necessarily follow the increases in the interest rates affecting the Companys debt.
(d) Credit risk
Credit risk is mitigated by selling to a geographically dispersed customer base.

17.01 - SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT | ||||
Report on the limited review of the independent auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP
São Paulo - SP
1. We have reviewed the accounting information included in the Quarterly Information (ITR) of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, comprising the balance sheet, the statements of operations, of cash flows and of added value, the performance report and explanatory notes. This Quarterly Information is the responsibility of the Companys management.
2. Except for the matter mentioned in the following paragraph, our review was carried out in accordance with specific standards established by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON), in conjunction with the Federal Accounting Council (CFC), and mainly comprised: (a) inquiries of and discussions with management responsible for the accounting, financial and operating areas of the Company with regard to the main criteria adopted for the preparation of the Quarterly Information and (b) a review of the significant information and of the subsequent events which have, or could have, significant effects on the financial position and operations of the Company.
3. As mentioned in Note 4, the reimbursement of the post-retirement and pension amounts paid by the Company is in a negotiation phase with the Government of the State of São Paulo. Consequently, it was not practicable for us to conclude on the eventual effects related to the amount of R$963,277 thousand receivable on June 30, 3008 from the Government of the State of Sao Paulo.
4. Based on our review, except for the eventual effects of the matter mentioned in paragraph 3 above, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accounting information included in the Quarterly Information referred to above in order that it be stated in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information, including CVM Instruction 469/08.
5. As mentioned in Note 18, on November 14, 2007, an agreement was signed between São Paulos City Hall and the Company seeking the stability in the provision of services, the establishment of sanitation actions and the equation of the existing debts. In view of the current stage of the negotiations between the Company and the Municipality of Sao Paulo, no adjustment was recorded in the financial statements.
6. As mentioned in Note 2, Law 11638 was enacted on December 28, 2007 and is effective as from January 1, 2008. This law amended, revoked and introduced new provisions to Law 6404 (Brazilian Corporation Law) and changed the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Although this law is already effective, some of the changes introduced by it depend on regulations to be issued by the regulatory agencies for them to be implemented by the companies. Accordingly, during this phase of transition, the CVM, through its Instruction 469/08, did not require the implementation of all the provisions of Law 11638 in the preparation of Quarterly Information. As a result, the accounting information included in the Quarterly Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was prepared in accordance with specific CVM instructions and does not contemplate all the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law 11638.

Those auditors included emphasis paragraphs in their reports related to the reimbursement of supplemental amounts of post-retirement and pensions paid by the Company and to the agreement signed between São Paulos City Hall and the Company.
