SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

1.     
We have conducted a special review of the quarterly information (ITR) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (Company) and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and its subsidiaries, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2005, which comprised the balance sheets, statements of income, report on the company´s performances and other relevant information, prepared by the company´s management in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The financial information related to Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios, the Company´s investment in which amounts to R$170,278 thousand as of June 30, 2005 (R$165,743 thousand as of March 31, 2005) and the corresponding results of which amount to R$4,535 thousand for the quarter and R$11,836 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 (R$25,948 thousand for the quarter and R$31,189 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004) were reviewed by other independent auditors. At June 30, 2005, total assets and net income for the six-month period then ended, resulting from this investee, represent 8.1% and 9.7%, respectively, in relation to the Company´s consolidated quarterly information (7.1% of net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, 36.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 44.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004). Likewise, the quarterly information of Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A., the Company´s investment in which amounts to R$72,448 thousand as of June 30, 2005 (R$77,864 thousand as of March 31, 2005) and the losses of which, calculated through the equity pick-up method, total R$5,416 thousand for the quarter and R$5,791 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, were reviewed by other independent auditors. At June 30, 2005, total assets and net income for the six-month period then ended of the referred to investee represent, respectively, 0.7% and 4.8% in relation to the Company´s consolidated quarterly information (0.7% of assets as of March 31, 2005 and 8.4% of net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005). Our special review report concerning assets, liabilities and result of operations of said investees is exclusively based on the special review report of such independent auditors.
 

2.     
Our review was conducted in accordance with specific standards established by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (IBRACON), in conjunction with the Federal Board of Accountancy (CFC), and consisted principally of: (a) inquiries of and discussions with management responsible for the Company’s accounting, financial and operational areas, in respect to the main criteria adopted for preparing the Quarterly Information; and (b) review of information and subsequent events which have, or could have, relevant effects on the Company’s financial position and operations.
 
3.     
Based on our special review and on the limited review report of the other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the above mentioned Quarterly Information for it to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and regulations established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) specifically concerning the disclosure of Quarterly Information.
 
4.     
Our review was carried out to enable us to issue a report on the special review of the Quarterly Information – ITR referred to in the first paragraph, taken as a whole. The statements of changes of cash flow and of added value of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and its subsidiaries, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, presented to provide supplementary information about the Company and its subsidiaries, are not a required component of the Quarterly Information. These statements were submitted to the review procedures described in the second paragraph and, based on our review and based on the informations from the quarterly information reviewed by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any significant adjustment to be made to these supplementary statements for them to be fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the Quarterly Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

Fund earnings: The fund seeks profitability (benchmark), in the average and long-term, varying between 105%, 103% and 101% of the average daily rate of 01 (one) day Interbank Deposits. Should the fund reach the previously-defined benchmark, all exceeding profitability will be attributed to subordinate shares only, reason why the value of such shares may differ from the senior shares value.

(*)      The effects of the default in any of the credit rights acquired by the fund and of any losses experienced by the fund will be attributed to subordinate shares until the limit equivalent to the total sum of such shares. Once said sum has been exceeded, the default will impact the senior shares. Subordinate shares may only be amortized or redeemed after amortization or redemption of the senior shares.
 

The Fund financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005 were reviewed by other independent auditors, who issued an unqualified special review report and an unqualified opinion dated April 19, 2005 and July 29, 2005, respectively.

Goodwill on business acquisition and formation is supported by independent experts’ reports, based mainly on expected future profitability and surplus of property and equipment items, and will continue to be amortized over periods consistent with the earnings projections of the stores acquired and/or with the depreciation of the assets on which they were originally based, when applicable, limited to ten years. For Investments merged, the amounts referring to expected future profitability were transferred to “Deferred charges” (Note 9)

Novasoc: Novasoc has, currently, 18 lease agreements with Paes Mendonça which mature in five years, and which may be extended twice for similar periods through notification to the leaseholder, with final maturity in 2014. During the term of the contract, the shareholders of Paes Mendonça cannot sell their shares without the prior and express approval of Novasoc. Paes Mendonça continues to exist and is by contract fully and solely responsible for all and any tax, labor, social security, commercial and other liabilities.

Under the articles of incorporation of Novasoc, the distribution of its net income need not be proportional to the holding of each shareholder in the capital of the company. As from the shareholders´ meeting, it was agreed that the Company would participate in 99.98% of Novasoc's results as from 2000.

On June 30, 2005, the subsidiary Novasoc had negative shareholders' equity (net capital deficiency). However, because its operating continuity and future economic feasibility are assured by the parent company, the Company recorded R$ 51,124 (R$ 50,783 - March 31, 2005), in “Provision for net capital deficiency” to recognize obligations to the creditors.

c) Investment agreement – CBD and Sendas

In february of 2004, based on the Investment and Association Agreement, the companies CBD and Sendas S.A. constitute, by means of transfer of assets, rights and liabilities, a new company known as Sendas Distribuidora S.A., with the objective of operating in the retailing market in general, through the association of operating activities of both networks in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The shareholding of CBD in Sendas Distribuidora at June 30, 2005 corresponded to 42.57% of total capital. It is incumbent on CBD to conduct the operating and administrative management of the new company, through its Executive Board, in addition to its prevailing decision when electing or removing directors from their office. Based on the Shareholders’ Agreement, beginning February 1, 2007, Sendas S.A. may at its sole option exercise its right to barter its paid-in capital shares, in total or in part, for preferred shares of the capital stock of the Company.

(i) Capital subscription by the AIG Group

With a view to reducing net indebtedness and strengthening the capital structure of the subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora, on November 30, 2004, the parent Company CBD 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.

As per the above agreement, CBD and AIG mutually grant reciprocal call and put options of shares acquired by AIG from Sendas Distribuidora, which may be exercised in approximately 4 years.

b) Investment agreement – CBD and Sendas – Continued

(i) Capital subscription by the AIG Group -- Continued

Upon exercising the referred to options, the shares issued by Sendas Distribuidora will represent an AIG credit against CBD that may be used to subscribe up to 3,000,000,000 (three billion) preferred shares issued by CBD, which will be created in a future capital increase. The price of the future issuance of preferred shares issued by CBD will be set based on market value at the time of issuance, and the share amount issued will enable the subscription by AIG in the maximum amount referred to above and by other CBD shareholders.

The AIG share value is based on a formula that considers the Sendas Distribuidora EBITDA multiples, as defined in the Association Agreement. At June 30, 2005, total interest amounted to R$ 93,645, which, translated into the average quotation of CBD shares on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa) in the last week of June 2005, would be equivalent to a total of 1,845,367,000 Company shares, less than the minimum of 2,000,000,000 shares to be exercised.

With the above transaction, CBD and its subsidiaries now hold 42.57% of the total Sendas Distribuidora capital.

ii) CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense)

On March 5, 2004, Sendas Distribuidora shareholders entered into an Operation Reversibility Agreement related to the association between CBD and Sendas S.A. in the State of Rio de Janeiro, which establishes conditions to be observed until the final decision on the takeover process, such as the continuance, totally or partially, of the stores under Sendas Distribuidora responsibility, maintenance of the work posts in accordance with the average gross billing by employee of the five largest supermarket networks, non-reduction of the term of current lease agreements, among others.

Shareholders, based on the opinion of their legal advisors and on the normal procedural steps of the process, believe that the association will be approved by the CADE.

d) Investment agreement – CBD and Itaú

Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. ("Miravalles"), 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, and now holds the equivalent to 50% of such company. Subsequently, with capital in the amount of R$ 150,000, Miravalles set up Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. – FIC, a company which will structure and trade financial products, services and related items exclusively to CBD customers.

The subscription made by Itaú in Miravalles resulted in a gain by dilution of shareholding, in the amount of R$ 380,444. Such gain was reduced by the disposal of certain assets related to the operation of provisions of implementation costs for start-up of operations and from the installment subject to performance goals during the next five years. In this quarter, the Company achieved 17% of the total performance goals, totaling the equivalent to 37% until June 30, 2005, with a remaining balance of R$ 104,001 in the account “Other accounts payable”.

On October 27, 2004, definitive operating agreements were signed, and Miravalles, by means of spin-off, transferred to Otimix Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda., wholly-owned subsidiary of Sé, which is controlled by the Company, funds totaling R$ 309,007.

The present association will result in operating synergies and will enable the expansion and improvement of the current offer of services and products to CBD customers, including, among others, Private Label Credit Cards (Own label: restricted use within CBD stores), credit card company cards with widespread acceptance, direct credit to consumers and personal loans. The operating management of FIC is under Itaú responsibility.

The partnership will last for a term of 20 years, which may be extended.

12. Provision for Contingencies

CBD and its subsidiaries are parties to tax, civil and labor proceedings both at administrative and judicial levels, some of which are supported by judicial deposits. The estimation process used to record the provision for contingencies is developed by the Company’s management based on the opinion of its legal advisors. That provision is recorded when those legal advisors state the possibility of loss is probable. The provision for contingencies is broken down as follows:

    Parent company    Consolidated 
     
    06.30.2005    03.31.2005    06.30.2005    03.31.2005

    934,934    909,013    992,529    965,856 
         

(i) The provision for COFINS and PIS includes disputed amounts (not paid), which are restated by SELIC (Special System for Settlement and Custody). These amounts are related to the claims that the Company is disputing to have the right to not apply law 9.718/98, instead of permitting it to determine the payment of COFINS under the terms of Complementary Law 70/91 (2% of revenue) and of PIS under Law 9.715/98 (0.65% of revenue) as from February 1, 1999.

(ii) Provision for income tax contingencies, monetarily restated, related to the questioning of the “Plano Verão” was fully settled in June 2005.

16. Financial Instruments

a) General considerations

Derivative instruments and operations involving interest rates are used to protect the assets and liabilities of the Company. Transactions are carried out by the financial operations area in accordance with the strategy previously approved by the Board of Directors.

Management considers that there is no concentration of counterparties, and operations are limited to traditional, highly-rated banks and within approved limits.

With the objective of exchanging the financial charges and exchange variation of loans in foreign currency to local currency, the Company contracted swap transactions linked to the CDI variation, which reflects the market value.

b)Market value of the financial instruments

Financial investments are represented by short-term investments, stated at cost plus income earned in the period based on underlying contracts, in amounts that approximate their market value.

Other financial instruments, assets and liabilities, at June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2005, recorded in the balance sheet accounts, are adjusted at amounts that reflect and/or approximate their respective market value.

c) Credit risk

The Company's financed sales are spread over a large number of customers. The Company manages the credit risk through a strict program of qualification and granting of credit.

17. Subsequent Events

On July 8, 2005, Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição ("CBD") and Casino Guichard Perrachon S.A. (“Casino”) signed all agreements for implementation of the Association operation between their controlling shareholders, Abilio dos Santos Diniz ("Abilio Diniz") and Casino, in the terms of the Significant Event Notices published on May 4, 2005 and July 9, 2005. Consequently, the Holding company, set up under the name of Vieri Participações S/A (“Vieri”), now holds 65.6% of CBD voting rights. Vieri voting capital is divided between Casino and Abilio Diniz, with 50% for each party, and, as such, Casino and Abilio Diniz now detain shared control over Vieri and, consequently, over CBD.

As a result of said operation, CBD free float increased to 45.48%, and a seat in the Advisory Board will be granted to a representative of Dynamo Administradora de Recursos Ltda., who will be elected by shareholders in due course. In addition, we inform that the program to sale CBD’s preferred shares on the market by former shareholders of Pão de Açucar S/A Indústria e Comércio (“PAIC”) will comply with the lock-up of 8.5 billion of preferred shares up to the 3º year (including the 1.5 billion of preferred shares remaining from the 1º tranche) and the other 8.5 billion of preferred shares up to 5º year.

08.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER

Comments on Sales Performance

CBD’s consolidated gross sales in 2Q05 equaled R$ 3,791.7 million, representing a 1.2% growth over the same period of 2004. Net sales totaled R$ 3,157.1 million, corresponding to a 3.1% growth over 2Q04. Sendas Distribuidora registered gross sales totaling R$ 772.0 million, while net sales totaled R$ 665.0 million in 2Q05.

In 2Q05, same store sales registered a nominal growth of 0.7%, representing a real decrease of 6.6% (deflated by the IPCA index). This performance is primarily the result of an unfavorable calendar (strong comparison base), since last year Easter was in the 2nd quarter and this year it was in the 1st quarter. Besides, the performance in this quarter was strongly impacted by a less favorable consumption environment in the country, with a decrease in the level of consumer confidence and high interest rates.

In the first half of 2005, consolidated gross sales totaled R$ 7,734.9 million, with an 8% growth, while net sales reached R$ 6,423.2 million, with a 9.4% growth.

Same store sales grew by 5.8%, with a 16.5% growth of non-food products and a 3.3% growth of food products.

Same store sales in real terms, deflated by the IPCA index, registered a 1.6% drop in the first half of the year. If we consider food inflation, calculated by the FIPE-Alimentação index, which in our view better reflects CBD’s reality, same store sales registered a real growth of 1.1% .

It is important to highlight that food products with high sales volume – rice, soybeans, milk and meat, among others – presented significant price deflation over the first half of 2005.

It is worth highlighting same store sales performance of CompreBem Business Unit, which registered real growth year-to-date, and, therefore, has outperformed the Company’s average performance.

08.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER

It is important to point out that the number of clients in same stores grew by 1% in the first half of the year. On the other hand, in face of the decrease in the level of consumer confidence, we observed a reduction in the average ticket in real terms, mainly due to a decrease in the consumption of non-food products and discretionary items.

Obs.: Same store sales figures include only stores whose operating period is longer than 12 months .

Operating Performance

The following comments on operating performance refer to CBD consolidated results, and, therefore, fully account for Sendas Distribuidora’s operating results (CBD joint venture with Sendas in the State of Rio de Janeiro).

Gross Income

CBD registered a gross income of R$ 964.0 million in the second quarter of 2005, representing a 6.3% growth over the same period of 2004. In 2Q05, gross margin was 30.5%, almost 100 basis points over the margin reported in the second quarter last year. This margin growth, despite the lackluster sales period, reflected the following main factors: i) effective price management, reflecting the Company’s advances in the Category Management process; ii) good negotiations

with suppliers and iii) calendar effect, since Easter, which represents a highly promotional event, was in the first quarter of this year (in 2004 it was in the 2nd quarter).

This improvement can also be observed in Sendas Distribuidora, which registered a 30.9% margin, versus 29.8% in the same quarter of 2004.

In the first half of 2005, CBD registered an R$1,907.2 million gross profit, up by 11.2% over the same period last year. The margin in the first half of 2005 was 29.7%, higher than the 29.2% registered in the first half of 2004

Operating Expenses

Despite the Easter calendar effect and the slowdown observed in same store sales, CBD registered a 21.3% operating expenses/net sales ratio, the same level registered last year. It is worth pointing out the consistent reduction of general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, which reached 3.6% versus 4.0% in the second quarter of 2004, reflecting gains of scale achieved in the period, as well as the current cost reduction program.

EBITDA

As a result of increased gross margin and expense control, CBD registered an EBITDA margin of 9.2% in the quarter, higher than the 8.3% registered in the same quarter of 2004. EBITDA totaled R$291.5 million in the period, 14.7% growth over the second quarter of 2004.

In this quarter, Sendas Distribuidora also improved in terms of EBITDA margin, which reached 5.8%, versus 4.3% in the same quarter of the previous year. After several adjustments in expenses and productivity gains, the increase in Sendas Distribuidora’s operating profitability will be conditioned to the increase in sales and consequent dilution of expenses. We believe this goal will be achieved as a natural result of the current competitive pricing policy, of our communication efforts and of the recent stores revitalization process.

In the first half of 2005, CBD registered a R$563.8 million EBITDA, up 19.9% over 2004. EBITDA margin in the period was 8.8%, higher than the 8.0% reported in the first half of 2004.

Financial Results

Financial expenses in the quarter totaled R$ 178.9 million, up by 13.3% over the same period in 2004, reflecting the rise in interest rates in the period. Financial income totaled R$115.6 million in the quarter, a 26.2% growth over the second quarter of 2004, due to higher income generated by financial investments and a less promotional period for credit based sales of durable goods.

Net financial expense totaled R$63.3 million in the quarter, lower than the R$66.3 million figure reported in the previous year. In the first half of 2005, net financial expenses totaled R$131.6 million, versus R$ 149.9 million in the first half of 2004. It is important to bear in mind that the Company’s financial result will have significant improvement as of the 3rd quarter of this year, due to the inflow of R$1.0 billion in funds, as a result of the conclusion of the transaction with Casino in the beginning of July (see the material facts published by the Company on 05/04/2005 and 07/08/2005).

Earnings Before Taxes

Resulting from a higher EBITDA and improved gross income, CBD recorded an earnings before income tax and minority interest and employees’ participation of R$ 74.2 million, 24.7% higher than the R$ 59.5 million recorded in 2004.

Minority Interest

Sendas Distribuidora’s recorded a net loss of R$ 26.5 million. Despite the previously mentioned improvements in EBITDA, Sendas Distribuidora was negatively impacted by higher net financial expenses totaling R$ 35.6 million. Sendas Distribuidora’s net loss generated a minority interest of R$ 15.2 million for CBD.

Net Income of R$ 64.2 million and 10% growth

2Q05 net income totaled R$ 64.2 million, 10% higher than the same period of 2004. The result was impacted by an income tax provision of R$ 21.7 million. In the first half of the year, the

08.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER

Company’s net income grew by 41.6%, totaling R$121.9 million, versus R$86.1 million in the same period of the previous year.

Working Capital

In the second quarter 2005, inventory turnover rate reached 42 days, higher than the 40 days recorded in the previous year. The average term with suppliers was recorded at 49 days, just one day less than the 50 days year-over-year.

Investments

In 2Q05, investments equaled R$ 195.2 million versus R$ 132.1 million in 2Q04. The main highlights were:

1.      We have conducted a special review of the quarterly information (ITR) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (Company) and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and its subsidiaries, for the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2005, which comprised the balance sheets, statements of income, report on the company´s performances and other relevant information, prepared by the company´s management in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The financial information related to Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios, the Company´s investment in which amounts to R$170,278 thousand as of June 30, 2005 (R$165,743 thousand as of March 31, 2005) and the corresponding results of which amount to R$4,535 thousand for the quarter and R$11,836 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 (R$25,948 thousand for the quarter and R$31,189 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004) were reviewed by other independent auditors. At June 30, 2005, total assets and net income for the six-month period then ended, resulting from this investee, represent 8.1% and 9.7%, respectively, in relation to the Company´s consolidated quarterly information (7.1% of net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, 36.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 44.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004).

  3.      Based on our special review and on the limited review report of the other independent auditors, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the above mentioned Quarterly Information for it to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and regulations established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) specifically concerning the disclosure of Quarterly Information.
 
  4.      Our review was carried out to enable us to issue a report on the special review of the Quarterly Information – ITR referred to in the first paragraph, taken as a whole. The statements of changes of cash flow and of added value of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and its subsidiaries, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, presented to provide supplementary information about the Company and its subsidiaries, are not a required component of the Quarterly Information. These statements were submitted to the review procedures described in the second paragraph and, based on our review and based on the informations from the quarterly information reviewed by other independent auditors, we are not aware of any significant adjustment to be made to these supplementary statements for them to be fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the Quarterly Information for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
