2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Quarterly Information (Continued)

Certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are determined on the basis of estimates when preparing the quarterly information. Accordingly, the quarterly information of the Company and the consolidated quarterly information include various estimates, among which are those relating to calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, asset valuation allowance, realization of deferred taxes, contingencies and other estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimated.

Significant accounting practices and consolidation criteria adopted by the Company are shown below:

a) Cash and cash equivalents

(i) Cash and banks

Cash and bank accounts comprise the cash and current accounts balances.

(ii) Marketable securities

The marketable securities are registered at cost accrued of income earned up to the balance sheet date and do not exceed the market value. The marketable securities are redeemable within a 90-day term as of the balance sheet date.

b) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable values. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount considered by Management to be sufficient to meet probable future losses related to uncollectible accounts.

The allowance composition is mainly based on the losses historical average, in addition to specific uncollectible accounts receivable.

Customer credit financing is generally for a term of up to 24 months. Interest is recorded and allocated as financial income during the financing period.

The Company carries out securitization operations of its accounts receivable with a special purpose entity, upon which owns shared control, the “PAFIDC” (Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios), for further details, see notes 4(b) and 7.

c) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of inventories purchased directly by the stores is based on the last purchase price, which approximates the First In, First Out (“FIFO”) method. The cost of inventories purchased through the warehouse is recorded at average cost, including warehousing and handling costs.

Inventories are also stated by net value of provision for losses and breakage, which are periodically reviewed and evaluated as to their sufficiency.

d) Other current and noncurrent assets

Other assets and receivables are stated at cost, including, when applicable, contractual indexation accruals, net of allowances to reflect realizable amounts, if necessary.

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Quarterly Information (Continued)

e) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method, and provision for capital deficiency is recorded, when applicable. Other investments are recorded at acquisition cost.

f) Property and equipment

These assets are shown at acquisition or construction cost, monetarily restated until December 31, 1995, deducted from the related accumulated depreciation, calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in Note 10, which take into account the economic useful lives of the assets or the leasing term, in case of leasehold improvements, of both, the one of shorter duration.

Interest and financial charges on loans and financing obtained from third parties directly or indirectly attributable to the process of purchase, construction and operating expansion, are capitalized during the construction and refurbishment of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ stores in conformity with CVM Deliberation 193. The capitalized interest and financial charges are appropriated to results over the depreciation periods of the corresponding assets.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, that do not significantly extend the useful lives of related assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that significantly extend the useful lives of existing facilities and equipment are capitalized.

g) Intangible assets

Intangible assets include goodwill originated from the acquisition of companies and amounts related to the acquisition of trading funds and commercial spots. These amounts are supported by appraisal reports issued by independent experts, based on the expectation of future profitability, and are amortized in accordance with estimated profitability over a maximum period of ten years.

h) Deferred charges

Expenses related to the implementation of projects and the development of new products and business models were accounted based on the feasibility studies and are amortized for a term not exceeding 5 years.

i) Other current and noncurrent liabilities

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

j) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. In the case of asset instruments, these are accounted for at the lower of cost or market value, whichever is the shorter.

The remaining balance results will be attributed to the subordinated quotas. The subordinated quotas were redeemed, at July 10, 2007, the amount of R$128,785, restated by the benchmark interest. The series B quotaholders will redeem the remaining balance of R$130,227 (R$126,665 at June 30, 2007) at the end of the fund’s term. The series A quotaholders will redeem their quotas only at the end of the fund’s term, the amount of which at September 30, 2007 corresponds to R$541,827 (R$526,424 at June 30, 2007) (Note 13 (iii)).

After the senior quotas accrue interest, the subordinated quotas will receive the balance of the fund’s net assets after absorbing any losses on the transfer of receivables to the fund and any losses attributed to the fund. Their redemption value is subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the transferred financial assets.

The holders of senior quotas have no recourse against the other assets of the Company in the event customers default on the amounts due. As defined in the agreement between the Company and PAFIDC, the transfer of credit rights is irrevocable, non-retroactive and the transfer is definitive and not enforceable against the Company.

ii) To purchase the shares on which the swap rights have been exercised in cash, for the value of transfer (*);

iii) To adopt any corporate procedure (the Company’s capital increase, merger of shares as per article 252 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, or any other);

(i) CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) (Continued)

At October 24, 2007, CADE, approved the association between the Company and Sendas to incorporate Sendas Distribuidora S.A. The new company will operate in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and possibly expand to the state of Espírito Santo on a limited basis, requiring the petitioner to dispose within 60 days one of its stores located in the city of Cabo Frio – state of Rio de Janeiro.

(ii) Capital subscription by the AIG Group

At November 30, 2004, the shareholders of Sendas Distribuidora and investment funds of the AIG Group ("AIG") entered into an agreement through which AIG invested the amount of R$135,675 in Sendas Distribuidora, by means of subscription and payment of 157,082,802 class B preferred shares, issued by Sendas Distribuidora, representing 14.86% of its capital. AIG has waived its rights to receive dividends, until November 30, 2008.

After this operation, the Company, through its subsidiary Sé, now holds 42.57% of the Sendas Distribuidora total capital. According to the above mentioned agreement, the Company and AIG mutually granted reciprocal call and put options of the shares purchased by AIG in Sendas Distribuidora, which may be exercised within approximately 4 years.

Upon exercising the referred options, the shares issued by Sendas Distribuidora to AIG will represent a put against the Company which may be used to subscribe up to three billion preferred shares to be issued by the Company in a future capital increase.

The price of the future issuance of the Company preferred shares will be set based on market value at the time of issuance, and the intention is to enable the payment by AIG in the maximum quantity referred to above. If the AIG value of Sendas Distribuidora’s shares results in more than the value of three billion shares of the Company, it will pay the difference in cash.

The exit of AIG from Sendas Distribuidora is defined based on the “Exit Price”, the calculation is based on the EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization), EBITDA multiple and the net financial indebtedness of Sendas Distribuidora. This “exit price” will give AIG the right to purchase the Company preferred shares according the criteria below:

(ii) Capital subscription by the AIG Group (Continued)

At September 30, 2007, total AIG shareholding represented a credit of R$143,705 (R$135,943 at June 30, 2007), which, converted to the average quotation of the last week of September 2007 of the Company shares in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (“BOVESPA”), would be equivalent to a total of 2,453,142 shares (3,921,068 shares at June 30, 2007) of the Company (1.38% of its capital).

d) Investment agreement – the Company and Itaú

Miravalles, a company set up in July 2004 and owner of exploitation rights of the Company´s financial activities, received funds from Itaú related to capital subscription, which then started to hold 50% of such company. Also in 2004, Miravalles set up Financeira Itaú Companhia S.A. (“FIC”), with capital stock of R$150,000. It is a company which operates in structuring and commercialization of financial products and services exclusively to GPA’s customers.

At December 22, 2005, an amendment to the partnership agreement between the Company, Itaú and FIC was signed, and the clauses referring to meeting of performance goals, initially established, were changed. By such amendment, the meeting of goals and the guarantee account are not longer tied, and fines for noncompliance of the referred performance goals were established.

This partnership is effective for 20 years and may be extended for an indeterminate term. The operational management of FIC is under the responsibility of Itaú.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting held at June 28, 2007, the shareholders subscribed all the shares issued by Miravalles, in the total amount of R$86,400, and the Company paid-in the amount of R$43,200, corresponding to the proportion of shares owned. The remaining was paid-in by another shareholder at same date.

In the quarter ended at September 30, 2007, total assets and equity results of operations of said investee represented 9.0% and -27.0%, respectively, in relation to the Company’s consolidated quarterly information (0.4% and -34.0% at September 30, 2006).

The Company uses swaps operations to switch obligations from fixed interest rate in U.S. dollar to Brazilian real related to CDI (floating) interest rate. The Company entered, contemporaneously with the same counterparty, into cross-currency interest rate swaps and has treated the instruments on a combined basis as though the loans were originally denominated in reais and accrued interest at floating rates.

The annualized CDI benchmark rate at September 30, 2007 was 12.36% (13.16% at June 30, 2007).

13. Loans and Financing (Continued)

(i) Working capital financing

Obtained from local banks and part of it is used to fund customer credit (the remaining balance not granted to PAFIDC), or originated from needs of financing of GPA growth. This is made without guarantees, but endorsed by the Company in case of Sendas Distribuidora.

(ii) BNDES credit line

The line of credit agreements, denominated in reais, with the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), are either subject to the indexation based on TJLP rate (long-term rate), plus annual interest rates, or are denominated based on a basket of foreign currencies to reflect the BNDES’ funding portfolio, plus annual interest rates. Financing is paid in monthly installments after a grace period, as mentioned below.

The Company cannot offer any assets as collateral for loans to other parties without the prior authorization of BNDES and is required to comply with certain debt covenants, calculated on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, including: (i) maintenance of a capitalization ratio (shareholders' equity/total assets) equal to or in excess of 0.40 and (ii) maintenance of a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) equal to or in excess of 1.05. Management effectively controls and monitors covenants, which were fully performed. The parent company offered pledges as a joint and several liable party for settlement of the agreements.

In the event the TJLP exceeds 6% per annum, the excess is added to the principal. For the quarters ended at September 30, 2007, R$124 was added to the principal (R$186 at June 30, 2007).

At a meeting held at March 8, 2007, the board of executive officers of BNDES authorized the granting of a new funding in the amount of R$187,330, with a 6-month grace period and 60 months for amortization, with interest rates ranging from 2.7% to 3.2% above TJLP (long-term interest rate).

The new funding granted to the Company by BNDES will finance investments, as a whole, referring to the opening of 15 new stores and support in the modernization of various existing stores.

16. Provision for Contingencies (Continued)

a) Taxes

Tax-related contingencies are indexed to the SELIC - Central Bank Overnight Rate, which was 12.41% at September 30, 2007 (13.21% at June 30, 2007), and are subject, when applicable, to fines. In all cases, when applicable, both interest charges and fines have been computed with respect to unpaid amounts and are fully accrued.

COFINS and PIS

In 1999, the rate for COFINS increased from 2% to 3%, and the tax base of both COFINS and PIS was extended to encompass other types of income, including financial income. The Company is challenging the increase in contributions of COFINS and the extension of base of such contributions. Provision for COFINS and PIS includes unpaid amounts, monetarily restated, in the total amount of R$958,085 (R$944,421 at June 30, 2007) resulting from the lawsuit filed by the Company and its subsidiaries, claiming the right to not apply Law 9718/98, permitting it to determine the payment of COFINS under the terms of Complementary Law 70/91 (2% of revenue) and of PIS under Law 9715/98 (0.65% of revenue) as from February 1, 1999. The lawsuits are in progress at the Regional Federal Court, and up to this moment, the Company has not been required to make judicial deposits.

As the calculation system of such contributions started to use the non-cumulative tax principle, starting by PIS as from December 1, 2002, with the Law 10637/02 and COFINS, as from February 2004 by means of Law 10833/03, the Company and its subsidiaries then started to apply said rules, as well as, to question with the Judiciary Branch, the extension of tax base of such contributions, aiming at continuing its application by the concept of sales results, as well as the appropriation of credits not accepted by laws and that the Management understands to be subject to appropriation, such as financial expenses and third parties expenses. The provision recorded in the balance sheet in the amount of R$104,372 (R$93,821 at June 30, 2007), includes the unpaid installment, monetarily restated. In addition, the company challenges the limit of percentage and the term for appropriation of COFINS credit over the initial inventory carried with the Law 10833/03, recording in its balance sheet the difference of appropriated credit under such rule by virtue of judicial authorization. There are no judicial deposits for such discussions.

Other

The Company and its subsidiaries have other tax contingencies, which after analysis of its legal counsels, were deemed as probable losses: a) lawsuit questioning the non-levy of IPI over codfish imports, which awaits decision by appellate court judge; b) federal administrative assessment about the restatement of equity accounts by an index higher than that accepted by tax authorities, which awaits decision by administrative appellate court judge (“Summer Plan”); c) administrative assessment referring to the collection of debts of withholding IRRF (withholding income tax) and CSL (social contribution on income), which also awaits decision by administrative appellate court judge, d) administrative assessment due to offsetting of INSS credit verified by the company under the viewpoint of undue payment over allowance not provided for by law, which is pending court decision; e) tax assessment in relation to transactions of purchase, industrialization and sales for soybean exports and its byproducts, in which, according to the tax authority’s understanding, there was no distribution of goods. Referring to the federal scope, the Company was served notice for these operations, in relation to PIS, COFINS and income tax. The amount recorded in accounting books for such issues is R$28,502 (R$27,647 at June 30, 2007). The Company has no judicial deposits related to such issues.

16. Provision for Contingencies (Continued)

b) Labor claims

The Company is party to numerous lawsuits involving disputes with its employees, primarily arising from layoffs in the ordinary course of business. At September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a provision of R$46,908 (R$44,209 at June 30, 2007) evaluated as probable risk for contingencies related to labor claims. The labor claims the loss of which is deemed as possible by our legal counsels is R$7,548 (R$8,044 at June 30, 2007). Management, based on advice from legal counsel, evaluates these contingencies and provides for losses where reasonably estimable, bearing in mind previous experiences in relation to the amounts sought. Labor claims are indexed to the TR (Referential Interest Rate) (1.68% accrued over the last 12 months in the quarter ended at September 30, 2007), plus 1% monthly interest. The earmarked judicial deposits amount is R$45,243 (R$41,542 at June 30, 2007).

c) Civil and other

The Company is a defendant, at several judicial levels, in lawsuits of civil natures, among others. The Company’s Management sets up provisions for losses in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions when its internal and external legal counsels consider losses to be probable.

Among these lawsuits, we point out the following:

• The company brought a writ of mandamus in order to be entitled to not pay the contributions provided for by Complementary Law 110/2001 related to the FGTS (Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees) financing. The company obtained a preliminary injunction recognizing the right of not paying such contributions. Subsequently, this preliminary injunction was reversed, determining the judicial deposit of unpaid amounts during the effectiveness period of the preliminary injunction. The enforceability of tax credit is suspended in view of appeal filed, which awaits decision by the Regional Federal Court. The amount accrued is R$45,097 (R$47,394 at June 30, 2007) and the Company effected a R$8,053 judicial deposit, protecting the period in which it was not covered by the preliminary injunction.

• The Company filed a declaratory action alleging the non-existence of legal relationship concerning the requirement to pay contribution to SEBRAE (Brazilian Micro and Small-Sized Companies Support Services), as enacted by Law 8,029/90, in order to also obtain the acknowledgement of restated credit for offsetting the balances payable to SESC (Social Service for Trade) and SENAC (National Service for Commercial Training) without the 30% restriction. The Company was granted the right of not paying the falling due contributions, inasmuch as it provides for the judicial deposits, as usual. The lawsuit awaits decision on extraordinary appeal. The accrued amount is R$35,682 (R$34,162 at June 30, 2007), and with judicial deposit in the amount of R$35,510 (R$33,940 at June 30, 2007).

• The Company, by means of a writ of mandamus, is challenging the constitutionality of the FUNRURAL (Rural Workers’ Assistance Fund) for companies located in urban areas. The lawsuit is in progress at the Regional Federal Court and the amount of the provision is R$32,532 (R$31,888 at June 30, 2007). There is no judicial deposit for this lawsuit.

35




16. Provision for Contingencies (Continued)

c) Civil and other (Continued)

• The Company files and answers various lawsuits in which it requests the review of lease amounts paid by the stores. In these lawsuits, the judge determines a provisional lease amount, which then is paid by the stores, until report and decision define the final lease amount. The set up provision of difference between the amount originally paid by the stores and that defined provisionally in these lawsuits. At September 30, 2007 the accrual amount for these lawsuits is R$14,527 (R$13,426 at June 30, 2007), for which there are no judicial deposits.

d) Possible losses

The Company has other contingencies which have been analyzed by the legal counsel and deemed as possible but not probable, therefore, have not been accrued, at September 30, 2007, as follows:

INSS (Social Security Tax) – the Company was also served notice regarding failure to levy payroll charges on benefits granted to its employees, and the loss, considered possible, amounts to R$111,142 (R$108,940 at June 30, 2007). These lawsuits are under administrative discussion.

• Income tax, withholding income tax and social contribution – The Company was served administrative notices referring to the taxes aforementioned, with varied subject-matters, such as offset-related proceedings, not deductible provisions, and all of them await decision in administrative level, the amount of which corresponds to R$54,578 (R$53,837 at June 30, 2007).

• COFINS, PIS and CPMF (Provisional Contribution on Financial Operation) – The Company was served notice in the administrative level regarding the taxes mentioned with various subject-matter, such as petitions for Finsocial offset, divergence in tax payments, in addition to PIS and COFINS in the assessment of soybean operations, previously mentioned. The amount involved in these assessments is R$239,135 (R$233,031 at June 30, 2007) and the proceeding is awaiting administrative decision.

• ICMS – The Company was served notice by state tax authorities as to the appropriation of electric power credits from acquisition of suppliers deemed as disreputable, recovery of tax replacement without due compliance with ancillary liabilities enacted by Ordinance CAT 17 of the state of São Paulo, among others less significant. The sum of these assessments amounts to R$437,927 (R$351,325 at June 30, 2007), which await final decision both in administrative and judicial levels.

• ISS, IPTU (Local Real Estate Tax), Property Transfer Tax (“ITBI”) and other – These refer to assessments on third parties withholding, divergence in tax payment, fines due to noncompliance with ancillary liabilities and sundry taxes, the amount of which is R$13,625 (R$12,877 at June 30, 2007) and awaiting both administrative and judicial decisions.

Other contingencies – These are related to administrative proceedings and lawsuits under the civil court level, special civil court and the Consumer Protection Agency – PROCON (in many states), IPEM (Weight and Measure Institute), INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality) and ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency), these in great majority related to lawsuits for damages, amounting to R$47,013 (R$54,678 at June 30, 2007).

b) Share rights

The preferred shares are non-voting and have preference with respect to the distribution of capital in the event of liquidation. Each shareholder has the right pursuant to the Company's bylaws to receive a proportional amount, based on their respective holdings to total common and preferred shares outstanding, of a total dividend of at least 25% of annual net income determined on the basis of financial statements prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, to the extent profits are distributable, and after transfers to reserves as required by Brazilian Corporation Law, and a proportional amount of any additional dividends declared. Beginning in 2003, the preferred shares are entitled to receive a dividend 10% greater than that paid to common shares.

18. Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)

b) Share rights (Continued)

The Company’s bylaws provide that, to the extent funds are available, minimum non-cumulative preferred dividend to the preferred shares in the amount of R$ 0.15 per thousand preferred shares and dividends to the preferred shares shall be 10% higher than the dividends to common shares up to or, if determined by the shareholders, in excess of the mandatory distribution.

Management is required by the Brazilian Corporation Law to propose dividends at year-end, at least, up to the mandatory minimum dividend regulations, which can include the interest on shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

c) Capital reserve – Goodwill special reserve

This reserve was set up as a result of the corporate restructuring process outlined in Note 1 (c), in contra account to the merged net assets and represents the amount of future tax benefit to be earned by means of amortization of goodwill merged. The special reserve portion corresponding to the benefit earned may be capitalized at the end of each fiscal year to the benefit of the controlling shareholder, with the issue of new shares. The capital increase will be subject to the preemptive right of non-controlling shareholders, in the proportion of their respective interest, by type and class, at the time of the issue, and the amounts paid in the year related to such right will be directly delivered to the controlling shareholder, pursuant to provision in CVM Ruling 319/99.

At December 31, 2006, the tax benefit recorded derived from the goodwill merged was R$517,294 and will be used in the capital increase, upon the realization of reserve.

d) Revenue reserve

(i) Legal reserve – the legal reserve is formed based on appropriations from retained earnings of 5% of annual net income, before any appropriations, and limited to 20% of the capital.

(ii) Expansion reserve: was approved by the shareholders to reserve funds to finance additional capital investments and working capital through the appropriation of up to 100% of the net income remaining after the legal appropriations, and supported by capital budget, approved at a meeting.

e) Preferred stock option plan

The Company offers a stock option plan for the purchase of preferred shares to management and employees. The exercise of options guarantees the beneficiaries the same rights granted to the Company other shareholders. The management of this plan was attributed to a committee designated by the Board of Directors.

The option price for each lot of shares is, at least, 60% of the weighted average price of the preferred shares traded in the week the option is granted. The number of lot of shares may vary for each beneficiary or series.

41



18. Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)

e) Preferred stock option plan (Continued)

The right to exercise the options is acquired in the following manner and terms: (i) 50% in the last month of the third year following the granting date (1st tranche) and (ii) up to 50% in the last month of the fifth year following the granting date (2nd tranche), and the remaining portion of this second lot being subject to restraint on alienation until the beneficiary’s retirement, as per formula defined in the rules.

Shares restricted as to sale (Q), upon the exercise of the options, are calculated by using the following formula outlined in the stock option plan:

where:

Q = Amount of 1 share to be encumbered by restraint on alienation.

Q1 = 50% of the total lots of Company shares as of the granting date.

Pm = Market price of the lot of Company shares as of the exercise date.

Pe = Original exercise price of the lot, determined on the granting date, observing the terms of the Plan.

The price of option from the date of concession to the date of exercise thereof by the beneficiary is updated by reference to the General Market Price Index - IGP-M variation, less dividends attributed for the period.

Pursuant to Clause 14.5 of the Plan, the application of the formula above must be adjusted taking into account the reverse split of shares representing Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição’s capital stock, approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 30, 2007.

New Preferred Stock Option Plan

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 20, 2006, approved the amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held at April 28, 1997.

As from 2007, the granting of preferred stock option plan to management and employees will take place as follows:

Shares will be classified into two types: Silver and Gold, and the quantity of Gold-type shares may be decreased and/or increased (reducer or accelerator), at discretion of the Plan Management Committee, in the course of 35 months following the granting date.

The price for each Silver-type thousand shares will correspond to the average of closing price of negotiations of the Company preferred shares occurred over the last 20 trading sessions of BOVESPA, prior to the date on which the Committee resolves on the granting of option, with negative goodwill of 20%. The price per each Gold-type thousand shares will correspond to R$ 0.01. In both bases, the prices will not be restated.

42



18. Shareholders’ Equity (Continued)

e) Preferred stock option plan (Continued)

The acquisition of rights to the options exercise will occur as follows in the following term: as from the 36th month to 48th month as from the start date defined as the date of the adhesion agreement of respective series and: a) 100% of granting of Silver-type shares; b) the quantity of Gold-type options to be determined by the Committee, after the compliance with granting conditions.

20. Financial Instruments

a) General considerations

Management considers that risk of concentration in financial institutions is low, as operations are limited to traditional, highly-rated banks and within approved limits by the Management.

b) Concentration of credit risk

The Company’s sales are direct to individual customers through post-dated checks, in a small portion of sales (2% of yearly sales). In such portion, the risk is minimized by the large customer base.

The advances to suppliers are made only to selected suppliers. We do not have credit risk with suppliers, since we discount only own payments of goods already delivered.

In order to minimize credit risk from investments, the Company adopts policies restricting the marketable securities that may be allocated to a single financial institution, and which take into consideration monetary limits and financial institution credit ratings.

c) Market value of financial instruments

Estimated market value of financial instruments at September 30, 2007 approximates market value, reflecting maturities or frequent price adjustments of these instruments, as shown below:

    At September 30, 2007 
   
    Parent Company    Consolidated 
     
    Book    Market    Book    Market

    1,231,173    1,256,293    2,651,350    2,685,410 
         

Market value of financial assets and of current and noncurrent financing, when applicable, was determined using current interest rates available for operations carried out under similar conditions and remaining maturities.

In order to translating the financial charges and exchange variation of loans denominated in foreign currency into local currency, the Company contracted swap operations, pegging the referred charges to the CDI variation, which reflects market value.

20. Financial Instruments (Continued)

d) Currency and interest rate risk management

The utilization of derivative instruments and operations involving interest rates aims at protecting the results of assets and liabilities operations of the Company, conducted by the finance operations area, in accordance with the strategy previously approved by management.

The cross-currency interest rate swaps permit the Company to exchange fixed rate interest in U.S. dollars on short-term and long-term debt (Note 13) for floating rate interest in Brazilian reais. As of September 30, 2007, the U.S. dollar-denominated short-term and long-term debt balances of R$867,363 (US$471,675) (R$879,459 - US$456,577 - at June 30, 2007), at weighted average interest rates of 6% per annum (5.3% at June 30, 2007) which are covered by floating rate swaps, linked to a percentage of the CDI in Brazilian reais, calculated at weighted average rate of 103.4% of CDI (103.5% of CDI at June 30, 2007).

21. Insurance Coverage (not audited)

Coverage at September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, is considered sufficient by management to meet possible losses and is summarized as follows:

Insured assets    Risks covered    Amount insured 
     
 
Property, equipment and inventories    Named risks    577,635 
Profit    Loss of profit    1,335,000

25. Subsequent Events which do not Give Rise to Supplementary Adjustments

a) Partnership with União Brasil

GPA executes a partnership with União Brasil and starts its pilot project to operate in the Business Center segment.

With this agreement, GPA, which already operates with different formats of stores, may experience a new business segment and new markets where it is not operating.

Firstly, the partnership will exclusively supply Multishow (purchase center affiliated to União Brasil), with 52 affiliated stores and annual sales of R$200 million. The expectation is that within six months, 70% of the grocery products sold by Multishow will be supplied by GPA. The remaining 30% basically concern with products of regional suppliers, which are directly traded by União Brasil.

The initial sales of the Business Center of Grupo Pão de Açúcar is estimated at R$3,000 per month and must double after the first quarter of 2008. Up to the end of next year, the amount traded should be equivalent to the average of a hypermarket.

25. Subsequent Events which do not Give Rise to Supplementary Adjustments (Continued)

b) Acquisition of Assai

At November 1, 2007, Grupo Pão de Açúcar (“GPA”), through a subsidiary of Sé (Sevilha Empreendimentos e participações Ltda. – “Sevilha”), acquired shares representing 60% of the total and voting capital of Barcelona Comércio Varejista e Atacadista S.A. (“Barcelona”), the recipient company of Assai Comercial e Importadora Ltda. (“Assai”)’s spun-off assets related to the activities previously developed by Assai in the self-service wholesale market of the food industry by the amount of two hundred and eight million reais (R$208 million).

Assai is a chain of stores in the “cash & carry segment” known as “atacarejo” (wholesale+retail) with 33 years of activities in this segment. Assai currently has 2,700 employees and 14 stores located in the state of São Paulo, six in the city of São Paulo and other stores in the cities of Santos, Sorocaba, Jundiaí, Osasco, São Bernardo, Guarulhos (2) and Ribeirão Preto. The stores will continue operating with the Assai banner and will maintain their main distinguished features: low operating cost, competitive prices, mix of goods and communication.

(i) Criteria for calculation of purchase or sale price for the remaining 40% interest:

    1)     The highest amount between 7 times EBITDA and 35.16% of net sales over the past 12 months immediately prior
             to the Option exercise date, deducting net indebtedness and probable loss contingencies. Should EBITDA  margin
             be lower than 4.625%, only the 7 times EBITDA criterion will be taken into account;
    2)     Initial purchase value net of distributed dividend, restated by IPCA + 6.5% p.a..

(ii) Call Option (“CALL”) of total partners’ shares – 40%

The Board of Directors will be composed of 7 members, with a 3-year term of office. GPA shall be responsible for the appointment of 4 members and Former Partners of Assai shall be responsible for the appointment of 3 members, appointing among the latter, the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The former Partners of Assai may also exercise the Put option as of January 1, 2012 as per conditions set forth in the agreement.

With this association, GPA, which already operates with different formats of stores, now operates in the “cash & carry segment” (wholesale/retail) and thus reinforces its multiformat positioning.

25. Subsequent Events which do not Give Rise to Supplementary Adjustments (Continued)

c) PAFIDC – Third issue of quotas

The PAFIDIC Quotaholders’ General Meeting, held on September 18, 2007, approved the third issue of fund quotas, composed of one hundred thirty (130) senior quotas of a single tranche, series C, with initial and unit issue price of one million reais (R$1,000), and four hundred and twenty-five (425) subordinated quotas, with initial and unit issue price of seventeen thousand reais (R$17), amounting to one hundred thirty-seven million, two hundred forty-seven thousand reais (R$137,247). Series C will seek to reach benchmark profitability corresponding to "DI Rate" accrued of a 0.5% spread p.a., and its redemption will occur at May 26, 2008.

The purpose of this issue was to recover the fund equity in view of extraordinary amortization of subordinated quotas occurred in July 2007, when the Quotaholders’ General Meeting approved the reduction of subordinated quotas interest from 20% of total shareholders’ equity to 5% of total shareholders’ equity. Thus, the fund recovered the same purchase capacity of receivables shown prior to said amortization.

At October 5, the public distribution of third issue senior quotas of the fund with subscription and payment of 130 senior quotas in the amount of R$130 thousand and 425 subordinated quotas in the amount of R$7.669 was concluded.

08.01 - COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE DURING THE QUARTER 
 

Sales Performance
Net Sales grew 6.0% in the 3
rd quarter

The gross revenue of Grupo Pão de Açúcar in the third quarter of 2007 reached R$ 4,131.7 million, up 5.5% over the same prior-year period. Net revenue was up 6.0% in the quarter in comparison with the same period of 2006, reaching R$ 3,496.5 million.

Gross sales in the ‘same stores’ concept recorded growth of 1.8% in the quarter, while net sales grew 2.3% . The performance of the perishables category once again stood out with growth above 5%, contributing positively to enable the performance of food products to record an uptrend of 3.3% in the period. The non-food category recorded a downtrend of 2.4% in 3Q07, once again under the impact of the strong basis of comparison (growth of 17.0% in 3Q06 – World Cup effect) and of the deflation of products from the entertainment category. Among the sub-categories of non-food products, those that suffered most with the World Cup effect were those of audio and video. Disregarding the performance of these sub-categories, with the objective of analyzing the performance of the non-food category without the impact of the World Cup, the growth of sales would have been –0.8% . Likewise, the growth of gross sales in the ‘same stores’ concept would have been 2.3% in the quarter.

The difference between total sales and sales in the ‘same stores’ concept reflects the expansion plan put into practice, with the opening of 38 stores (2 Pão de Açúcar, 8 Extra, 12 CompreBem, 5 Extra Perto and 11 Extra Fácil) in the last 12 months.

Among the formats, the highlight was the Pão de Açúcar banner, which for the 4th quarter in a row presented significant growth in sales in the ‘same stores’ concept, above the average of the Group. The Sendas and CompreBem banners recorded performances in line with the average of the Company, while the hypermarkets Extra and Extra Eletro were affected by the performance of the non-food category, with growths lower than average for the Group.

Operating Performance 

The comments presented below about 3rd quarter of 2006, refer to the pro forma result. This result does not reflect the effects of the payment of tax assessment notices referring to the purchase, processing and sale transactions for export of soybean and by-products on October 31, 2006. This payment caused a negative impact on the results of 3Q06 of R$ 94.4 million. Of this sum, R$ 51.9 million produced an impact on the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and R$ 42.4 million affected financial expenses (part relating to fines and interest). The net impact after income tax on net income was R$ 74.9 million in the 3rd quarter of 2006. The comments presented below were prepared in order to reflect the Company’s operating performance and its results in the quarter and therefore do not include the adjustment of this provision, as it represents a non-recurrent item that affected the results for the period.

Gross margin reached 28.7% in the quarter
Reduction of shrinkage contributed to the performance in the period

(3) basis points                         

In the 3rd quarter of 2007, the gross margin was 28.7%, growth of 60 basis points (bps) in relation to the previous quarter (28.1%) . In comparison with 3Q06 the gross margin of the Company grew 70 bps. The gross income in 3Q07 totaled R$ 1,003.0 million, representing growth of 8.5% .

The main impact on the gross margin occurred due to the Shrinkage Reduction Campaign, which contributed with a gain of R$ 13.5 million, equivalent to 40 bps of the gross margin. In addition, this result is explained by the assortment review, which resulted in better negotiations with suppliers and by the new pricing policy, which aims at a better balance between special offers and regular prices.

Operating Expenses 

The following comments refer to operating expenses before taxes and charges.

Operating expenses in the 3Q07 totaled R$ 741.9 million, 7.4% up year-on-year. This increase occurred mainly due to the opening of new stores in the last 12 months, which added around R$ 38.4 million to expenses during the quarter. Restructuring expenses amounted to R$ 7.9 million, R$ 1.9 million of which in selling expenses and the remaining R$ 6.0 million in general and administrative expenses. The collective bargaining agreement, which had an impact throughout the last 12 months, totaled around R$ 12.5 million, R$ 10.6 million in selling expenses and R$ 1.9 million in G&A expenses. Excluding the impact of the restructuring and the wage agreement, the reduction would have reached 20.6% of net sales, the same level achieved in the 3Q06.

Selling expenses, in the year-on-year comparison, were strongly impacted by the opening of new stores mentioned above. If the effects of restructuring and the wage agreement are ignored, they moved up 6.3%, keeping pace with sales growth and, chiefly, with the 6.1% increase in sales area, in turn reflecting the interim store inaugurations. However, they fell by R$ 10.0 million over the 2Q07, totaling R$ 617.3 million.

G&A expenses in the 3Q07 stood at R$ 124.7 million, equivalent to 3.6% of net sales (3.3% excluding the restructuring and wage agreement impact).

It is worth pointing out that operating expenses were impacted by the Company’s strategic projects, including convenience stores, drug stores, international trade, loss prevention and e-commerce, among others. These projects totaled close to R$ 4.4 million in the period.

As a percentage of net sales, year-to-date operating expenses before taxes and charges fell by 30 bps year-on-year, from 21.2% to 20.9% . Net of the restructuring and of the annual wage agreement, the ratios would have come to 20.4% in the 9M07 and 20.9% in the 9M06.

EBITDA margin of 6.8% (after taxes and charges)

(3) basis points                         

In the 3rd quarter of 2007, EBITDA totaled R$ 238.3 million versus R$ 208.4 million of 3Q06, up 14.4% over the pro forma EBITDA of the same prior-year period. The EBITDA margin was 6.8% in 3Q07 as opposed to 6.3% in 3Q06, an increase of 50 bps, explained by the improvement of the gross margin in the period.

Excluding expenditures with restructuring, the EBITDA margin in the 3rd quarter of 2007 was 7.0% as opposed to 6.7% in the same period of the previous year.

Financial Income
Negative net financial result of R$ 53.7 million in the quarter
 

Financial revenue reached R$ 68.5 million in the quarter, 14.1% lower than the R$ 79.7 million recorded in 3Q06. This difference is explained by the lower interest rate of the period and by the reduction of 27.9% of the average cash of the 3rd quarter of 2007 in relation to that of 3Q06.

In spite of the reduction of the average funding cost, financial expenses went up from R$ 116.5 million (pro-forma) in the prior year to R$ 122.2 million this quarter. This increase of 4.9% is related to the increase of 13.7% in the Group’s average gross indebtedness in the period.

The net financial income was negative by R$ 53.7 million in the quarter, as opposed to a negative pro-forma result of R$ 36.7 million in 3Q06.

At the end of the period, the Group’s gross indebtedness presented a reduction of R$ 361.9 million in relation to the previous quarter due to the payment of the 5th issue of debentures. In relation to the same prior–year period, the gross indebtedness had an increase of R$ 90.1 million.

The payment of the remaining debentures of the 5th issuance, as well as R$330 million in loans during the quarter, brought a reduction of R$ 499.0 million in cash and financial investments compared to the previous quarter and a reduction of R$ 652.9 million compared to 3Q06.

The net debt increased by R$ 137.1 million in relation to the previous quarter, driven chiefly by the reduction in Working Capital generated by the financing of receivables, and also increased by R$ 743.1 million in comparison to the 3Q06. The Net Debt/EBITDA ratio (12 months) ended the quarter at 1.3x.

Equity Income
FIC’s portfolio reaches R$ 1.2 billion at the end of the quarter
 

61



With a 12% share of the Group’s sales in the 3rd quarter of 2007, the operations of FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD) announced a negative result of equity income of R$ 9.9 million for the period, a 34.1% improvement on the results for the 3rd quarter of 2006.

The total portfolio reached R$ 1.2 billion at the end of the quarter, with 57% growth in relation to the same period of the previous year. Part of this growth is attributed to the absorption of the portfolio of co-branded credit cards (credit cards of Itaucard which are co-banded with Pão de Açúcar and Extra, previously belonging to Credicard) in the second quarter of this year, as well as the continuing growth in levels of activation and to the private label portfolio.

FIC`s total client portfolio reached 5.6 million, which is constant in relation to the number registered for the previous quarter.

The results did not represent a growth in the improvement trend for this quarter, due to the lower volume of credit (both in terms of sales and portfolio size) and extended guarantees. The improvement trend in the results continues, and for the next quarter is expected a growth in portfolios of payments by installments, in co-branded operations, and a migration from the credit cards of the best clients from private label to co-branded, mantaining forecasts of break even point.

Minority Interest: Sendas Distribuidora
Gains in gross margin and in expenses contribute to bring about a significant improvement
of the EBITDA margin 

The gross revenue from operations in Rio de Janeiro was accountable for 18.4% of the total gross sales of the Group and reached R$ 760.9 million in the quarter. Net revenue totaled R$ 660.4 million.

Due to the reduction of shrinkage, the assortment review and the new pricing policy adopted in Rio de Janeiro, which aims at a better balance between special offers and regular prices, the gross margin of Sendas Distribuidora was 26.7% in 3Q07, 140 bps above the 25.3% recorded in 3Q06.

Operating expenses before taxes and charges as a percentage of the net sales came to 22.1% in the 3rd quarter of 2007, a reduction of 150 bps in relation to the same prior-year period. This downslide is a result of the ongoing work developed in Rio de Janeiro and includes the adoption of initiatives such as productivity programs in the stores, the reduction of promotion-related expenses and the creation of an expense committee to impose tighter controls over in-store-expenses.

In this manner, the EBITDA margin of the quarter was 3.5%, up 260 bps over the 0.9% recorded in 3Q06. By the criterion previously reported by the Company (EBITDA before taxes and charges) this indicator was 4.6%, in line with the objective of reaching a margin of 5% at the end of the year. This recovery is a consequence of a better gross margin and of lower expenses, as explained above

The financial income of this quarter presented an improvement of 34.4% in relation to 3Q06, totaling R$ -24.2 million. This recovery is due mainly to the reduction of R$ 9.4 million in the financial expense of this quarter in relation to the same prior-year period. Among the factors that contributed to this reduction, there is the lower interest rate verified in the period and the 6.5% decrease of the Company’s total debt.

62



Due to the satisfactory operating results presented by Sendas Distribuidora, Management and the auditors reviewed a projection of income, and in this manner, the Company was able to resume the use of income tax credits accumulated at Sendas Distribuidora. These credits brought a fiscal benefit of R$ 34.9 million in the quarter.

As a consequence of the recover of operating income, the improvement of financial income and the resumption of Income Tax credits, the result of Sendas Distribuidora was reverted and the company recorded income of R$ 10.6 million in the period, as opposed to loss of R$ 42.2 million recorded in the same quarter of last year.

Income before income tax totaled R$ 27.4 million, a growth of 232.4% in relation to the pro forma Income before income tax of the prior year. This significant improvement was mainly due to the increase of the gross margin and on account of the recovery of the results of Sendas Distribuidora.

Income tax was positive by R$ 17.0 million in the quarter. This difference in relation to the previous quarter is explained by the recovery of the results of Sendas Distribuidora, which reflected on the resumption of constitution of deferred income tax credit in the period.

Net Income
Income for the quarter rises 10.2% in comparison with 3Q06 pro-forma
 

Net income in the quarter, for the reasons already mentioned before, grew 10.2% in relation to the pro forma net income for the same prior-year period, amounting to R$ 34.7 million.

In the quarter, it is worth emphasizing that net income was affected by R$ 42.7 million of expenses with amortization of goodwill. This is a non-cash expense, which has a positive effect for the Company from the point of view of fiscal benefit.

Investments reached R$ 227.4 million in the quarter 

In the 3rd quarter of 2007, investments reached R$ 227.4 million versus R$ 226.9 million recorded in the same prior-year period. Investments in the period were mainly concentrated in the construction of

The main highlights of the quarter were:

The group is planning to open yet another store currently under construction in Campinas by the end of the year.

Extra Perto – A new store was opened in Campinas, and another store was converted from Pão de Açúcar into Extra Perto. Another four stores were also leased from the Rossi Monza chain, converted into the Extra Perto Format. Another five stores are to be opened in 4Q06, in the country side of São Paulo. Furthermore, the group is planning to perform three conversions from Pão de Açúcar to Extra Perto by the year-end.

Subsequent Events
Joint venture with Assai chain and Purchasing Group
 

Assai

On November 2, 2007, Grupo Pão de Açúcar and the partners of the company Assai Comercial e Importadora Ltda announced the creation of a joint venture controlled by Grupo Pão de Açúcar, which hold stake of 60%. By means of this venture, the Group is now also operating into the cash-and-carry segment, the so called "atacarejo" (wholesale + retail in Portuguese), one of the country’s fastest-growing retail areas.

64



With 33 years of activities in the sector, Assai has 2,700 employees and 14 stores located in the state of São Paulo, with six in the capital city and the others in Santos, Sorocaba, Jundiaí, Osasco, São Bernardo, Guarulhos (2) and Ribeirão Preto. There are more than 34 thousand m² of sales area, with a significant sale per square meter of more than R$ 2,650, per month, which represents more than double the average sale per square meter of in the Brazilian food retail sector, according to ABRAS – Brazilian Association of Supermarkets.

The investment of Grupo Pão de Açúcar was R$ 208.0 million, 60% of the total value of the business, which is equivalent to 30% of the gross sales verified in the last twelve (12) months by Assai (R$ 1.15 billion).

In a separate, autonomous manner, the business operation will continue under the responsibility of the original partners that have profound experience, the main reason why Assai has become one of the largest and most important chains in the cash & carry format in Brazil.

The stores will continue operating under the Assai banner and will maintain their main differentials: low operating cost, competitive prices, mix of goods and communication.

Under the Shareholders’ Agreement of the new company, the Board of Directors will be comprised of a total seven members, four appointed by Grupo Pão de Açúcar and three by the original partners. The structure implemented will permit the full consolidation of the results of the new company in the financial statements of Grupo Pão de Açúcar.

The agreement also stipulates the exit conditions for the original partners, who hold the remaining 40% of the capital. The acquisition price is set according to the 2 following criteria:

1) The larger between 7x EBITDA multiple and 35.16% of net sales (last 12 months), net of net indebtedness and possible contingencies. In case the EBITDA margin is lower than 4.6%, only the 7x EBITDA criterion will be taken into account;

2) Amount of the Initial Purchase, indexed by IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) + 6.5%, net of distributed dividend indexed by IPCA + 6.5% per year.

Grupo Pão de Açucar may acquire the total remaining stake from the original partners (40%) through the exercise of a call option, according to the following cases:

1) In the event GPA requires the chairman to be dismissed due to low performance, at 100% of criterion 1 of the acquisition price;

2) In case the chairman resigns or is absent during more than 1/3 of the board’s meetings called during certain fiscal year, for the lower amount between criterion 1 or 80% of criterion 2;

3) At any moment up to December 31, 2011, for the higher amount between criterion 1 or 125% of criterion 2;

65



4) In January 2012, January 2013 and January 2014, for the higher amount between criterion 1 and criterion 2;

5) At any moment in the event Mr. Rodolfo (JV´s chairman) becomes incapable or deceases, for criterion 1 of acquisition price.

Assai’s original partners hold a put option over its total 40% stake, exercisable in the first fortnight of January 2012, January 2013 and January 2014, for criterion 1 of the acquisition price.

In any of the cases described above, payment will be made in cash.

The operation is subject to certain resolutive conditions and determinations of amounts provided in the instruments executed on the date the agreement is signed. Furthermore, the operation will be submitted to the approval of the authorities of the competition defense system and to the board members and stockholders of Grupo Pão de Açúcar, according to the terms of the by-laws.

Purchasing Group

In the month of October, Grupo Pão de Açúcar announced a partnership with União Brasil and started it’s pilot project of activity in the Purchasing Group segment.

Without the need for investments in assets, the Group offered its commercial and logistic knowledge with the objective of increasing its profitability by means of a retail segment that is growing at high levels in Brazil: smaller stores, with up to ten check-outs, which are supplied through Purchasing Groups.

Under the agreement, Grupo Pão de Açúcar, which already operates with different store formats, can get to know a new business segment and new markets where it is not yet present, as is the case of the state of Espírito Santo, where the project is to be executed.

In this initial stage, the partnership will exclusively serve Multishow (purchasing group affiliated to União Brasil), with 52 associated stores and annual sales of R$ 200 million. The expectation of the agreement is that in six months time, 70% of the grocery products sold by Multishow will be supplied by Grupo Pão de Açúcar. The other 30% basically refer to products from regional suppliers that are traded directly by União Brasil.

The initial sales of the Purchasing Group of Grupo Pão de Açúcar are estimated at R$ 3.0 million/month and should double after the first six months of 2008. By the end of next year, the amount traded should be equivalent to the average amount of a hypermarket store.

We have performed a special review of the accompanying Quarterly Financial Information (“ITR”) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“the Company”) and of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and subsidiaries for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, including the balance sheets, statements of income, report on the Company’s performance and other significant information in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The quarterly financial information of investees Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios (which significant amounts are mentioned in note 7) and Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. (which significant amounts are mentioned in note 9) for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were reviewed by other independent auditors. Our special review report, insofar as it relates to the amounts of assets, liabilities and results of those investees, is based solely on the limited reviews of those independent auditors.
 
2.     
Our review was conducted in accordance with the specific procedures determined by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (“IBRACON”) and the Federal Board of Accountancy (“CFC”), and included principally: (a) inquiries of and discussions with the management responsible for the Company’s accounting, financial and operating areas regarding the criteria adopted for the preparation of the quarterly information and (b) review of information and subsequent events which have or might have significant effects on the Company’s operations and financial position.
 
3.     
Based on our special review and on the limited review reports issued by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the Quarterly Financial Information referred in the first paragraph for it to comply with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) regulations specifically applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information.
 
4.
Our review was carried out to enable us to issue a report on the special review of the Quarterly Financial Information, referred to in the first paragraph, taken as a whole. The statements of cash flows and of added value of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and subsidiaries for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, and 2006, prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, which are presented to provide supplementary information about the Company and its subsidiaries, are not required as an integral part of the Quarterly Financial Information. These statements were submitted to the review procedures described in the second paragraph and, based on our review and on the quarterly information reviewed by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to these supplementary statements for them to be fairly disclosed, in all material respects, with regard to the Quarterly Financial Information for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, taken as a whole.
