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, 60 concession contracts have expired and until December 31, 2008, 11 concessions will expire, all of them are being negotiated with the municipalities. Between 2009 and 2030, 106 concessions will expire. The remaining concessions are for an undetermined term. Up to June 30, 2008, 155 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 September 30, 2008, the book value of property, plant and equipment used in the 71 municipalities under negotiation totals R$1.77 billion and revenue for the same period totals R$630 million.

In the municipality of Santos, in the Santista lowland, 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:

The Company’s 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 statements 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:

Page: 11


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 September 30, and June 30, 2008, those items considered material and mandatory in Instruction No. 469/08. Consequently, the amount of R$20,973, related to donations received at September 2008 (11.727 in the first 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 regulations 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.

(i) Water and sewage services

The Company provides supply services of water and collection of sewage to the Gesp 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 credits, that may be realized under the conditions mentioned in items (iii), (iv) and (v).

(ii) Reimbursement of additional retirement and pension benefits paid

It refers to amounts of supplemental benefits of retirement and pension plan provided by the State of São Paulo’s Law No. 4819/58 (“Benefits”) paid by the Company to former employees or retirees.

Under the terms of the Gesp Agreement referred to in (iii), Gesp acknowledges to be responsible for the charges resulting from the Benefits, provided that the payment criteria set forth by the State Personnel Expense Department – DDPE, founded on the legal direction provided by the Legal Advisory of the Treasury Secretary and State’s General Attorney’s Office – PGE are obeyed.

As explained on items (vi) and (vii), during the validation by Gesp of the amounts due to the Company on account of the Benefits, divergences have arisen as to the calculation criteria and eligibility of the Benefits applied by the Company. The Company’s Management, however, maintains its understanding, that these divergences do not justify any provision, under the terms detailed in item (viii).

As of September 30 and June 30, 2008, 2,606 and 2,613 retired personnel, respectively, employees received additional retirement benefits and for the quarters ended September 30 and June 30, 2008, the Company paid R$ 25,975 and R$25,270, respectively. There were 143 active employees as of September 30 and June 30, 2008 who will be entitled to these benefits on their retirement.

(iii) Gesp Agreement

On December 11, 2001, the Company, Gesp (by means of the State Treasury Secretary) and the Water and Electric Energy Department – DAEE, with the intermediation of the Hydro Resources Sanitation and Works Secretary, entered into the Term of Acknowledgement, Consolidation of Obligations, Payment Commitment and Other Agreements (“Gesp Agreement”), with the purpose to equate the existing pending items between Gesp and the Company, both with regards to water and sewage services and to Benefits.

The total agreement was R$678,830, at cost value, being (i) R$320,623 referring to the Benefits paid by the Company and not reimbursed by the State during the period from March, 1986 to November, 2001, and (ii) R$358,207 arising from the provision of water supply and sewage collection services, invoiced and past due from 1985 to December, 2001, but not paid by Gesp.

Having in view the strategic importance of the reservoirs of Taiaçupeba, Jundiai, Biritiba, Paraiting and Ponte Nova (“Reservoirs”), to guarantee the maintenance of the water volume of Alto Tiete, the Company agreed to

Page: 16


received them as part of the reimbursement referring to the Benefits. The Reservoirs would be transferred to it by the DAEE, which, in its turn, would subrogate itself in credit of the same amount before Gesp.

However, the State of São Paulo’s Attorney’s Office questioned the legal validity of this agreement, by means of a public civil action, whose main argument is the lack of specific legislative authorization for the alienation of the DAEE’s estate. The Company’s legal counsels assess the risk of loss of this proceeding as probable, in case the mentioned legislative authorization is not obtained, which would prevent the transfer of the respective reservoirs as partial amortization of the balance receivable.

The balances of services of water supply and sewage collection were included in the First and Second Amendments as described on items (iv) and (v). The balances referring to the reimbursement of the supplement of the retirement and pension plan were included into the Term of Commitment between the State of São Paulo and Sabesp, as described in items (vi) and (vii).

(iv) First Amendment to the Gesp Agreement

On March 22, 2004, the Company and Gesp amended the Gesp Agreement with the purpose to: (1) consolidate and recognize the amounts due by Gesp for services provided by the Company related to water supply and sewage collection, monetarily adjusted until February, 2004; (2) formally authorize the offset of amounts due by Gesp with interest on shareholders’ equity declared by the Company and any other debt existing with Gesp on December 31, 2003, monetarily adjusted until February, 2004; and (3) define the payment conditions of Gesp’s remaining obligations for receiving the provision of services of water supply and sewage collection.

Pursuant to the First Amendment, Gesp recognized the amounts due to the Company for water supply and sewage collection services provided until February 2004 amounting to 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 Gesp related to interest on capital amounting to 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).

(v) Second Amendment to the Gesp Agreement

On February 28, 2007, the Company and Gesp, by means of the Treasury Secretary, executed the Second Amendment to the Gesp Agreement.

It has been agreed upon that the payment in installments of Gesp’s debt to the Company remaining from the First Amendment, in the amount of R4133,709, to be paid in 60 equal, monthly and consecutive installments, the first installment to become due on January 2, 2008. The amount of the installments must be monetarily adjusted in accordance to the variation of IPCA-IBGE, added by simple interests of 0.5% per month.

The balance of this agreement, whose installments have been paid monthly, includes an amount of R$46,244 that the State does not recognize as due. Sabesp has an understanding different from the State’s with regards to this amount, not admitting the revision of these previously agreed upon amounts, without the demonstration, in a supported and unequivocal way, of the lack of correspondence between the amounts presented by Sabesp and the services effectively provided. For this reason, the Company understands that no provision is necessary for losses referring to the amount of R$46,244 (pursuant item VII, of the Recitals, of the Second Amendment to the Gesp Agreement).

Page: 17


Additionally, the Second Amendment also considered the accounts past due and not paid in the period from March, 2004 to October, 2007, resulting from the provision of services of water supply and sewage collection, totaling R$256,608. Out of this amount, R$235,966 has been received and R$8,783 had the debtor’s registry altered and R$11,829 is pending confirmation and collection.

These amounts are being assessed jointly by Sabesp and the representatives of Gesp’s various secretaries. Up to date, differences as to the debtors have been identified, but not with regards to the amount of the debt per se. In case of reclassification of the responsible for the payment of the invoice, Sabesp will transfer the collection to the corresponding Entity. The Company has not recorded a provision for losses for these amounts, as (i) the divergences are substantially related to the identification of the debtors and (ii) it expects to fully receive such credits as soon as this identification is effected.

It has also been agreed upon in the Second Amendment the payment of interest on shareholders’ equity due by Sabesp to the State, referring to the period from March, 2004 to December, 2006 amounting to R$400,823, restated as from June, 2007 until November, 2007 by the Selic. This took place in the period from January to March, 2008.

By means of the Second Amendment, Gesp and Sabesp further undertake to resume the fulfillment of the reciprocal obligations, punctually, 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 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.

Out of the revenues of the months from November, 2007 to September, 2008, approximately 78% 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, a Term of Commitment was executed between Gesp, by means of the Treasury Secretary and Sabesp, with the intermediation of the Secretary of Sanitation and Energy, for the equation of the financial pending items related to the Benefits.

Although the State acknowledges to be responsible for the Benefits, there is a disagreement as to the calculation criteria and eligibility adopted by Sabesp, moreover, by the supervenience of the legal opinions issued by the State’s General Attorney’s Office – PGE, which bind Gesp’s action and prevents the spontaneous reimbursement of the total of the amounts paid by Sabesp.

From Sabesp’s 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 persistency of the divergences between the State and Sabesp constitutes the main reason why the parties failed to fully implement the items agreed upon in the Gesp Agreement, described in item (iii). However, there is a consensus between the parties that these divergences must not represent an obstacle to the implementation of the commitments assumed in the Gesp Agreement as to the Reimbursement of the Uncontroversial Amount.

Page: 18


In this Term, Sabesp undertakes to contract a specialized company to calculate the Uncontroversial Reimbursement Amount and the Controversial Amount, and two specialized companies to perform a new appraisal of the Reservoirs.

(vii) Third Amendment to the Gesp Agreement

Gesp, Sabesp and DAEE, on November 14, 2008, entered into the Third Amendment to the Term of Agreement of Payment Commitment, and Other Agreements, where the State confesses to owe Sabesp the amount of R$915,251, monetarily adjusted until September, 2008 by the IPCA-IBGE, corresponding to the Uncontroversial Amount, calculated by FIPECAFI. Sabesp accepts temporarily the Reservoirs as part of the payment of the Uncontroversial Amount and offers to the State a temporary settlement, constituting a financial credit of R$696,283, corresponding to the value of the Reservoirs. The definitive settlement will only occur with the effective transfer of property in the relevant real estate registery. The remaining balance owed of R$218,967 to be initially paid in 114 monthly and consecutive installments, amounting to R$1,920 each, the first installment being due on November 25, 2008.

Sabesp and the State are working together to obtain legislative authorization in order to make viable the transfer of the Reservoirs to Sabesp, thus overcoming the juridical uncertainty caused by the Public Civil Action, mentioned in item (iii). After the publication of the legislative authorization, the transfer of the Reservoirs to Sabesp will occur.

The Third Amendment also provides the regularization of the monthly flow of benefits. While Sabesp is still responsible for the monthly payments, by judicial decision, the State will reimburse the Company based on criteria identical to those applied in the calculation of the Uncontroversial Amount. As there no longer exists an impeditive judicial decision, the State will directly assume the monthly payment flow of the portion considered as uncontroversial.

The difference between the Uncontroversial Amount and the amount effectively paid by the Company, constitutes the Controversial Amount. Sabesp will forward to the State General Attorney’s Office - PGE a supported request in order to obtain the reappreciation of the divergence that gave rise to the Controversial Amount. In fact, the State’s General Attorney has already formally confirmed his willingress to re-exam the matter.

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 Company’s interests.

(viii) Reasons that directed the Company’s Management not to make a provision for the uncontroversial amount of the Benefits.

As demonstrated in (vii), the Third Amendment to the Gesp Agreement splits the amount of the Benefits into uncontroversial amount and controversial amount.

The uncontroversial amount has been plainly resolved, including with regards to the uncontroversial amount of the future monthly flow of payment of the Benefits. The inventory of the uncontroversial amount, already exposed, will be paid by means of the Reservoirs and the remaining balance in 114 installments. With regards to the uncontroversial amount of the monthly flow, while Gesp arranges for the internal operating structure necessary for the calculation and processing of the reimbursements, the Company will maintain Fipecafi contracted so that it performs monthly the calculation of the reimbursement, applying criteria identical to those used in the calculation of the Uncontroversial Amount. Gesp has undertaken to make the reimbursements in up to 10 (ten) business days counted from the date of the submission of the monthly reimbursement calculation report issued by Fipecafi. This has been agreed upon in the third clause of this Amendment.

No provision has been recorded for the controversial amount of the Benefits – whether with regards to eventual loss of amounts already recorded or even with regards to the controversial amounts of the Benefits that will be paid in the future – in view of the high expectation of success in receiving these pending amounts and the solution of the divergences favorable to the Company.

This expectation has been ground on several reasons.

Firstly, because there is no new fact that justifies a change in the interpretation of the chances of receiving the pending amounts as Benefits. The controversy on the portion of Benefits is not a new data. In the information related to the fiscal year 2007, it has been indicated, inclusively, the estimate of the uncontroversial and controversial amounts, without being generated any provision with regards to the controversial amount.

Conversely, it is needed to highlight that during 2008, there was great progress with regards to the perspective of receiving the pending amounts on account of Benefits. The uncontroversial amount of the Benefits has been plainly resolved already pointed out in item (vii) and in this item.

With regards to the controversial amount, there has also been an improvement in the receiving perspective. As informed in (vii), the State’s General Attorney has formally undertaken to reassess the divergences that gave rise to the controversial amount.

Secondly, it is worth recalling that, besides an internal analysis made by the Company’s bodies, external legal opinion, after detailed analysis of the matter, pointed to the great possibility of success in an eventual action of recourse filed by the Company against the State. Under the terms of this legal opinion, the circumstances where the payment of the benefits have been performed, impose on Gesp to reimburse the Company, to the extent it figured only as co-obligor, in view of its employer condition.

The Company maintains its understanding that the best estimate for the controversial amount of the Benefits is in the sense that it will be received by the Company in the future, whether by means of the re-appreciation provided by the State’s General Attorney or even due to a judicial decision.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company’s cash and temporary cash investments with financial institutions controlled by the State Government amounted to R$421,306 and R$304,863 as of September 30 and June 30, 2008 respectively. The financial income arising from these temporary cash investments totaled R$37,902 and R$39,643 in the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company must, pursuant to a State Decree, invest its surplus resources with financial institutions controlled by the State Government.

(c) Agreement for the use of reservoirs

In its operations, the Company uses the Guarapiranga and Billings reservoirs and part of some reservoirs of the Upper Alto, which are owned by the Water and Electric Energy Department (DAEE); should these reservoirs not be available for use to the Company, there could be the need to collect water in more distant places. The Company does not pay any fee for the use of these reservoirs but it is responsible for their maintenance and operating costs.

(d) Agreements with lower tariffs with State and Municipal Government Entities that joined the Rational Water Use Program (PURA).

The Company has signed agreements with government entities related to the State Government and municipalities where it operates involving approximately 6,950 real estates that are benefited from a reduction of 25% in the tariff for water supply and sewage collection services. These agreements provide for the implementation of the rational water use program, which takes into consideration the reduction in the consumption of water.

(e) Guarantees

The State Government grants guarantees for some loans and financing of the Company and does not charge any fees with respect to such guarantees.

(f) Related-party transactions

Management is making efforts to maintain the State’s payments with respect to transactions with related parties in non-default on a permanent basis.

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 September 30, 2008 and 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 balance of the indemnities receivable from the municipality of Diadema was R$62,876.

The balance of the indemnities receivable from the municipality of Maua was R$85,918.

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 2005, Sabesp’s appeal to have the agreement entered into with the municipality of Diadema declared valid was partially accepted. In October 2006, the municipality's administration office filed special and extraordinary appeals and in November 2006 the decision that allowed the Company to present its reply to said appeals was published. Sabesp presented its reply in December 2006. The appeals were rejected by the Chief Justice in March 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. In December 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 2008. In order to pursue the execution, the judged authorized the realization of the online pledge of funds in bank account and financial investments of Saned (online pledge) in up to 10% of the restated amount of the debt, not authorizing, however, the pledge of a percentage of the Company’s revenues. Saned appealed against the first decision and Sabesp appealed against the second decision, and they are expecting the outcome of these appeals. Currently, blockages are being made in Saned’s bank accounts and investments, having been pledge, up to the moment, R$2,733, of which R$2,409 have already been transferred to a judicial account.

With regards to Maua, a first level decision was pronounced demanding that the Municipality pays the amount of R$153.2 million as compensation for damages caused and for loss of profits. This decision was appealed by Mauá in April 2005 and is pending a new decision by the Court. In July 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 in December 2007 and the expert confirmed the amount of the loss of profits determined by the lower court. In August, 2008, the appeal was judged, having fully maintained the conviction imposed in the first level. This decision can still be appealed against.

Based on the opinion of the legal counsels, Management continues to affirm that the Company has legal right to receive the amounts corresponding to the indemnity and it continues to monitor the situation of the lawsuits.

Property, plant and equipment in use represents the assets involved in the provision of water supply and sewage collection services. Under the assets arising from contracts negotiated based on economic and financial reports and program contracts, SABESP is both the owner and the manager.

(a) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated based on the following annual rates:

Buildings - 4%, interceptors and networks - 2%, machinery and equipment - 10%, water meters - 10%, vehicles - 20%, computer equipment - 20%, building connectors - 5%, office furniture - 10% and other items - 10%.

(b) Write-offs of property, plant and equipment

(i) The Company wrote-off, in the third quarter of 2008 and from January to September of 2008, items of fixed assets amounting to R$2,358 and R$9,049, respectively (in the third quarter of 2007 and from January to September 2007 - R$4,057 and R$8,448, respectively, resulting in a total loss of R$3,838 and R$8,229.) related to the group of assets in operation, caused by obsolescence, theft and disposal.

(ii) The Company recorded, in the third quarter of 2008, a write-off of property, plant and equipment amounting to R$137,346, referring to leasehold improvements, as a result of the execution of the Third Amendment to the GESP Agreement, which provides for the full incorporation of the assets contained in the appraisal report of the Real Estate Evaluation of the Alto Tiete Production System.

(c) Capitalization of interest and financial charges

The Company capitalized interest and monetary variation, including foreign exchange variation, in fixed assets amounting to R$78,358 in the third quarter of 2008 (in the third quarter of 2007 - R$(2,222), during the period when the assets were presented as work in progress.

(d) Construction in progress

The estimated disbursements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 until 2013, related to already contracted investments, total approximately R$2,301 million.

(e) Expropriations

As a result of the construction of priority projects related to water and sewage systems, the Company was required to expropriate or establish rights of way over third-party's properties according to prevailing legislation. The owners of these properties will be compensated either amicably or through the courts. The estimated disbursements to be made beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, without an estimated due date, is approximately R$473 million. The assets to be received as a result of these negotiations will be recorded as property, plant and equipment after the transaction is completed. In the third quarter of 2008, the amount related to expropriations was R$1,590 (in the third quarter of 2007 - R$780).

(f) Assets offered as guarantee

Page: 24


(g) Non-operating assets

The Company had, as of September 30 and June 30, 2008, free lease assets amounting to R$26,478 mainly related to land located near operating areas.

(h) Revaluation

Property, plant and equipment items were revalued in 1990 and 1991 and are depreciated at annual rates that correspond to their remaining useful lives determined in the related reports, which, as a general rule, fall into the classification of the rates presented above.

As allowed by CVM Instruction No. 197/93, the Company failed to recognize a provision for the deferred tax effect on the appreciation arising from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment in 1990 and 1991. Should income and social contribution taxes be recognized on the revaluation reserve, the unrealized amount as of September 30, 2008 would total R$378,477 (R$408,052 through September 30, 2007).

In the period from January to September, 2008 an amount of R$65,100 was realized (January to September, 2007 - R$65,785).

(i) Fully depreciated assets

As of September 30 and June 30, 2008, the gross book value of the fully depreciated assets that are still in use is R$875,869 and R$864,710, respectively.

Management, based on a joint analysis with its legal counsel, made a provision whose amount was considered sufficient to cover probable losses on lawsuits. The amounts related to lawsuits in the sentence execution stage, recorded in current liabilities, under the caption “Provisions”, of R$370,955 (Jun/2008 - R$324,207), is net of escrow deposits amounting to R$53,173 (Jun/2008 - R$29,641), and the amounts recorded in non-current liabilities, under the caption “Provisions”, of R$668,647 (Jun/2008 - R$657,818).

(i) Customers - Approximately 1,180 lawsuits were filed by commercial customers, which claim that their tariffs should be equal to the tariffs of another consumer categories, and therefore claim the refund of the amounts collected by Sabesp. The Company was granted both favorable and unfa vorable final decisions by several courts, and recognized provisions when the likelihood of loss is considered probable.

(ii) Suppliers - Suppliers’ claims include lawsuits filed by some building companies alleging an underpayment of monetary adjustments, withholding of amounts related to the understatement of official inflation rates after the Real economic plan, and the economic and financial imbalance of the agreements. These lawsuits are in progress with different courts and a provision is recognized when the likelihood of loss is considered probable.

(iii) Other civil lawsuits - refer mainly to indemnity claims for property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of profits allegedly caused to third parties, filed with different court, duly accrued when classified as probable losses.

(iv) Tax lawsuits - the provision for tax contingencies refers mainly to issues related to tax collections challenged due to differences in the interpretation of legislation by the Company’s legal counsel, duly accrued when classified as probable losses.

Page: 33


(v) Labor lawsuits - the Company is a party to labor lawsuits, involving issues such as overtime, health hazard premium and hazardous duty premium, prior notice, change of function, salary equalization, and others. Part of the amount involved is in provisional or final execution at various court levels, and thus is classified as a probable loss and accordingly a provision was recognized.

(vi) Environmental lawsuits - refer to several administrative proceedings and lawsuits filed by government entities, including Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental - Cetesb and the São Paulo State Public Prosecution Office for the imposition of fines for environmental damages allegedly caused by the Company. The amounts recognized in the provision do not always represent the final amount to be disbursed as indemnity of alleged damages, in view of the current stage in which such lawsuits are and Management’s impossibility to reasonably estimate the amounts of future disbursements.

Lawsuits with possible likelihood of loss

The Company is a party to lawsuits and administrative proceedings related to environmental, tax, civil and labor lawsuits, which are considered by its legal counsel as possible losses, and are not recorded in the books.

(a) Valuation of financial instruments

As of September 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 Company’s 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 Sabesp’s 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 of the Company incurring losses on account of fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates that may impact the foreign currency denominated loans and financings obtained in the market and, consequently, the financial expenses. The Company does not maintain “hedge” or “swap” transactions, however, it makes an active management of the debt, taking advantage of the window of opportunities, to exchange expensive debts for cheaper debts, reducing the cost by means of anticipation of maturity dates, etc.

A significant portion of the Company’s financial debt was linked to the US dollar and to the Yen, amounting to R$1,750,467 (Note 8). The table below summarizes the Company’s exposure to exchange rates at September 30, 2008.

     In thousands 
       
    US$    Japanese Yen 
     
Loans and financing    804,435               10,275,579 
     

(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 contracts 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 Septemb er 30, 2008, the Company had R$973,909 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 Company’s debt.

(d) Credit risk

Credit risk is mitigated by selling to a geographically dispersed customer base.

Increase in materials used for maintenance in the Water and Sewage Treatment Station amounting to R$2.0 million.
  
Increase in the expenditure with materials for the maintenance of residential connections and water and sewage networks amounting to R$1.5 million, in function of the following factors:
  
  The discontinuity of the maintenance contracts in 2007 caused a lower execution in 2008 and, consequently, increased the expenditure in 2008 to offset services that have not been performed.
  
  The increase in the Loss Program to meet the goals set.

17.01 - REPORT ON SPECIAL REVIEW - WITH QUALIFICATION         
 

Report 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 Informa tion (ITR) of Companhia de Saneamento Básico do Estado de São Paulo - SABESP (the “Company”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, comprising the balance sheet, the statement of operations, of cash flows and of added value, the performance report and explanatory notes. This Quarterly Information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.
 
2.
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 the Note 4, the Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP, maintains recorded in non current assets amounts related to the supplement of retirement and pension plans, paid by the Company in the period from 1986 to 2008. After a period of negotiation, the parties (the Company and the Government of the State of São Paulo) executed, on November 17, 2008, the Third Amendment to the Term of Acknowledgment, Commitment of Payment and Other Agreements, which demonstrates the portions considered controversial and uncontroversial, originated from the calculations performed by a specialized entity with regards to the payments made. As a result of the referred Term, the Company recognized monetary restatement of the uncontroversial portion, previously kept in historical values, however, it did not recorded a provision for the controversial portion, amounting to R$294,283 thousand, net of tax effects, in view of the high expectation of success in receiving the pending amounts and the expected solution of the divergences with the State and/or discussions at legal and technical levels. The accounting practices adopted in Brazil require a provision for losses for the reduction of the recoverable amount, that corresponds, in this context, to the amounts past due for a long time and determined as controversial. Consequently, the non current assets, the shareholders’ equity and the net income of the period are overstated by this amount.
 
4.
Based on our review, except for the 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 No. 469/08.
 
5.
On November 14, 2007, as mentioned in Note 18, an agreement was signed between the Municipality of São Paulo and the Company, in relation to the resolution of outstanding debts to provide the stability in the provision of services and the establishment of sanitation actions. In view of the current stage of the negotiations between the Company and the Municipality of São Paulo, no adjustment has been made in the financial statements.

Page: 63


6.
As mentioned in Note 4, the Company and the Government of the State of São Paulo entered into an agreement to settle the amount called uncontroversial, referring to the reimbursement of the supplement of retirement and pension plans, paid by Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP, in name and on account of the Government of the State of São Paulo. The realization of this asset depends on: (a) the resolution of legal uncertainties caused by public action and legislative authorization related to the transfer of reservoirs to Companhia de Saneamento Basico do Estado de São Paulo – SABESP, amounting to R$696,283 thousand and (b) the financial collection of other amounts, amounting to R$241,483 thousand.
 
7.
As mentioned in Note 2, Law 1638 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 September 30, 2008 was prepared in accordance with specific CVM instructions and does not contemplate all the changes in accounting practices introduced by Law 11638.
 
8.
The quarterly information – ITR, mentioned in the first paragraph, includes, also, comparable accounting information referring to the result of the quarter ended on September 30, 2007, obtained from the respective quarterly information – ITR of that quarter. The limited reviews of this Quarterly Information – ITR was conducted under the responsibility of other independent auditors, that issued, dated November 14, 2007, the respective unqualified report and with emphasis paragraphs in their report related to the reimbursement of the amounts of the supplement of retirement and pension plans paid by the Company and to the agreement executed between the Municipality of São Paulo and the Company.
