4.1. Payroll and benefits

The Company expanded its services and increased its productivity. The number of connections per employee grew from 651 in 2005 to 684 in 2006, corresponding to a 5.1% productivity growth.

In 2006 payroll and benefits grew by R$ 152.0 million or 13.7%, moving up from R$ 1,106.4 million to R$ 1,258.4 million, due to the following:

In 4Q06 payroll and benefits grew by R$ 48.1 million or 16.7%, mainly due to the Profit Sharing Plan and the charges with the Incentive Resignation Program, both in the amount of R$ 40.7 million.

4.2. Supplies

In 2006, this figure increased by R$ 11.8 million or 10.2%, from R$ 115.9 million to R$ 127.7 million, mostly due to:

In 4Q06, the R$ 5.2 million increase was mainly motivated by the increase of R$ 2.2 million in fuel and lubricant prices and of R$ 2.5 million in network and system maintenance.

4.3. Treatment supplies

The R$ 5.7 million or 5.8% increase, from R$ 98.8 million to R$ 104.5 million in 2006, was due to a higher volume of treated water as a result of the increase in consumption and of the 8.3% average price readjustment. Despite these factors, the 5.8% increase was mainly due to a better operating efficiency when using chemical products. In 4Q06 treatment supplies moved up by R$ 0.4 million or 2.0% .

Page 4 of 12


4.4. Third-party services

In 2006 third-party services grew by R$ 12.2 million or 2.6%, from R$ 474.0 million to R$ 486.2 million. The main reasons for this performance were:

In 4Q06 third-party services jumped by R$ 10.0 million or 7.0%, chiefly due to software maintenance, expansion of the research for the detection of leakage and maintenance and preservation of operating areas.

4.5. Electric power

It increased by R$ 25.4 million or 6.0%, from R$ 423.5 million to R$ 448.9 million, mainly due to:

In 4Q06 this expense grew by R$ 10.6 million, also due to the factors mentioned above.

4.6. General expense

In 2006, general expenses moved up by R$ 45.5 million or 27.6%, from R$ 164.6 million to R$ 210.1 million, as a result of:

In 4Q06 the R$ 57.1 million increase was mainly due to provisions for contingencies.

4.7. Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization grew by R$ 46.2 million or 7.8%, from R$ 596.0 million to R$ 642.2 million, due to the transfer of works in place to operating permanent assets in the fiscal year 2006.

Page 5 of 12


4.8. Credit write-offs

In 2006, credit write-offs climbed by R$ 62.9 million or 24.6%, moving up from R$ 255.3 million in 2005 to R$ 318.2 million this year, mostly as a result of the following:

In 4Q06 dropped by R$ 4.6 million or 5.4%, due to a lower provisioning of the wholesale segment.

4.9. Tax expenses

In 2006 rose by R$ 4.1 million or 14.0% as a result of federal taxes and charges, which moved up by R$ 2.3 million due to services hired abroad for the management of the Environmental Recovery Program for the Metropolitan Region of the Santos Costal Area; and the CPMF tax, which grew by R$ 1.1 million due to the settlement of part of the principal, interest and premium of the 2008 Eurobond, in November 2006.

In 4Q06, the R$ 2.2 million increase is mainly a result of the expenses related to the issue of the 2016 Eurobond in November.

5. Financial expenses and revenues

5.1. Financial expenses

In 2006 financial expenses dropped by R$ 104.5 million or 13.2%, as follows:

The highlights regarding domestic financing are:

The highlights for international financing are:

Page 6 of 12


 

Regarding other financial expenses, despite the R$ 3.0 million increase, we highlight the R$ 9.8 million drop, resulting from the decrease in the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP) on interest from PAES.

In 2006, contingencies related to interest and monetary restatement of lawsuits were reversed, due to a lower probability of loss, resulting in a R$ 79.2 million decrease in provisions.

5.2. Financial revenues

Financial revenues grew by R$ 16.8 million or 20.8%, from R$ 80.7 million to R$ 97.5 million in 2006, due to the agreement reached with Companhia de Saneamento de Diadema – SANED and the return on financial investments.

6. Passive and active monetary variation

6.1. Passive monetary variation

The net effect of passive monetary variation was negative by R$ 1.5 million in 2006, in comparison to a positive R$ 230.1 million in 2005. This negative variation of R$ 231.6 million was due to:

            R$ million 
 
    2005     2006    Chg.    % 
 
Monetary variation over loans and financing    82.0    97.6    15.6    19.0

Passive monetary variation    (230.1)   1.5    231.6    (100.7)
 

6.2. Active monetary variation

Active monetary variation dropped by R$ 6.0 million or 17.6%, from R$ 34.0 million to R$ 28.0 million, in 2006 as a result of the update of the GESP Agreement balance due to the lower remaining balance.

8. Loans and financing

Regarding debt management in the capital market, the Company, in line with its pro active attitude, issued the FIDC – SABESP I in the amount of R$ 250 million. These proceeds were used to settle the debt maturing in 2006 and to anticipate the withdrawal of the total outstanding balance of the Debentures from the first series of the 5th issuance, in the amount of R$ 104.5 million as principal and R$ 1.9 million as interest, which would mature in March 2007.

Also in line with this trend, in November the Company issued international bonds in the amount of US$ 140 million (2016 Eurobonds), at a rate of 7.5% per year due in November 2016. These proceeds were used to repurchase 56.4% of the notes issued in 2003 (2008 Eurobonds) in the amount of US$ 225 million, at a rate of 12% p.a., due in June 2008. This operation enabled the extension of the Company’s debt maturity and the reduction of its average cost.
