04.01 - Notes to the Quarterly Financial Information
(All amounts in thousands of reais, except when indicated)

1. Operations

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição ("Company" or “CBD”) operates primarily as a retailer of food, clothing, home appliances and other products through its chain of hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialized and department stores principally under the trade names "Pão de Açúcar", "Extra", "ABC-Barateiro", "Comprebem", "Extra Eletro" and “Sendas”. At September 30, 2006, the Company had 534 stores in operation (536 stores at June 30, 2006), of which 379 are operated by the Parent Company, and the remaining by its subsidiaries, 6 of them being operated by the subsidiary Novasoc Comercial Ltda., ("Novasoc"), 46 by Sé Supermercados Ltda. ("Sé"), and 103 stores by Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("Sendas Distribuidora").

a) Sendas Distribuidora

Sendas Distribuidora operations began on February 1, 2004 through the Investment and Partnership Agreement, entered into in December 2003 with Sendas S.A. ("Sendas"). This subsidiary concentrates retailing activities of the Company and of Sendas in the entire state of Rio de Janeiro. The Company is performing a restructuring process, in order to increasing profitability through efficiency gains. Several measures were taken already in the fourth quarter of 2005 to reduce operating and corporate expenses, as well as, a review of processes and systems. Decrease in operating expenses is a result of the review of processes that seek simplification and rationalization. Therefore, corporate expense decrease was based on scale gains supported by service centralization and sharing.

b) Partnership with Itaú

On July 27, 2004, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A. ("Itaú") and the Company with the objective of setting up Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. ("FIC"). FIC structures and trades financial products, services and related items to CBD customers and has effectively assumed the financing operations to the Company’s clients and its subsidiaries since the third quarter of 2005, on an exclusive basis (see Note 9 (e)). The Company has 50% shareholding of the FIC capital through its subsidiary Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. ("Miravalles").

c) Casino joint venture agreement

On May 3, 2005, the Diniz Group and the Casino Group (headquartered in France) incorporated Vieri Participações S.A. (Vieri), which became the parent company of CBD, whose control is shared by both group of shareholders.

On June 22, 2005, the Groups entered into Shareholders’ Agreements of the Parent Company (Vieri) and CBD, which established that CBD controlling power is exclusively exercised by Vieri.

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Quarterly Information

The quarterly information is a responsibility of the Company’s management and was prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the procedures issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and by the Brazilian Institute of Accountants (IBRACON).

The quarterly information includes the following supplementary information that management considers significant to the market (See Note 22):

Attachment I – Statement of Cash Flows – prepared based on the indirect method, as from accounting records, in accordance with IBRACON standards.

Attachment II – Statement of Added Value – prepared in accordance with the Brazilian Accounting Standards, supplemented by CVM guidance and recommendations.

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

a) Accounting estimates

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.

b) Revenues and expenses

Sales are recognized as customers receive the goods. Financial income arising from credit sales is accrued over the credit term. Expenses and costs are recognized on the accruals basis. Volume bonuses and discounts received from suppliers in the form of product are recorded as zero-cost additions to inventories and the benefit recognized as the product is sold. Cost of sales includes warehousing and handling costs.

c) 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.

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 securitizes its accounts receivable with a partially owned special purpose entity, the PAFIDC (Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios) .

Table of Contents

d) 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.

e) 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.

f) 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.

g) 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, whichever is shorter.

As from 2005, the Company, following the NBC T 19.5 (Brazilian Accounting Standards) recommendations, started to account for the amortization of leasehold improvements based on the respective lease contract time limits.

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 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.

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

h) Deferred charges

Deferred charges include goodwill paid on the acquisition of investments already added and pre-operating expenses. Goodwill is supported by reports issued by independent experts, based on the expectation of future profitability, and is amortized in accordance with estimated profitability of the acquired businesses over a maximum period of ten years.

Pre-operating expenses are amortized in accordance with the terms described in Note 11 (b).

Table of Contents

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.

k) Income and social contribution taxes

Deferred income and social contribution taxes (subsidiaries) are calculated on tax losses, negative basis of social contribution and timely differences to taxable income. Management expects the realization of deferred tax credit assets over the next 10 years.

l) Provision for contingencies

Provision for contingencies is set up based on legal counsel opinions, in amounts considered sufficient to cover losses and risks considered probable.

As per CVM Deliberation 489/05, the Company adopted the concepts established in NPC 22 on Provisions, Liabilities, Gains and Losses on Contingencies when setting up provisions and disclosures on matters regarding litigation and contingencies as per Note 14.

m) Earnings per share

The calculation was made based on the number of outstanding shares at the balance sheet date as if net income of the period was fully distributed. Earnings may be distributed or used for capital increase purposes, consequently there is no guarantee that they will be paid as dividends.

n) Consolidated quarterly information

The consolidated quarterly information was prepared in conformity with the consolidation principles prescribed by the Brazilian Corporate Law and CVM Deliberation 247, and include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries Novasoc, Sé, Sendas Distribuidora, PAFIDC, Versalhes Comércio de Produtos Eletrônicos Ltda. (“Versalhes”), Auto Posto Sigua Ltda. ("Sigua") and Auto Posto MFP Ltda. ("MFP").

Table of Contents

Although the Company’s interest in Novasoc is represented by 10% of Novasoc’s quotas of interest, Novasoc is included in the consolidated financial statements as the Company effectively has control over a 99.98% beneficial interest in Novasoc. The other members have no effective veto or other participating or protective rights. Under the bylaws of Novasoc, the appropriation of its net income does not need to be proportional to the quotas of interest held in the company. At the shareholders’ meeting on December 29, 2000 it was agreed that the Company would participate in 99.98% of Novasoc’s results.

The subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora was fully consolidated, in accordance with the shareholders’ agreement, which establishes the operating and administrative management by the Company, in addition to its right to appoint and remove executive officers. At September 30, 2006, equity results consider a shareholding of 42.57% of total capital.

Under CVM Ruling 247/96, the financial information of the subsidiaries Nova Saper Participações Ltda. ("Nova Saper") and P.A. Publicidade Ltda. ("P.A. Publicidade") were not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements, since they do not represent any significant change to the consolidated economic unit.

The proportional investment of the Parent Company in the income of the investee, the balances payable and receivable, revenues and expenses and the unrealized profit originated in transactions between the consolidated companies were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

3. Marketable Securities

The marketable securities at September 30, 2006 and at June 30, 2006 earn interest mainly at the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) rate.

Their redemption value is subject to credit, prepayment, and interest rate risks on the transferred financial assets.

d) Investment agreement – CBD and Sendas

In February 2004, based on the Investment and Association Agreement, the companies CBD and Sendas S.A. constituted, by means of transfer of assets, rights and obligations, 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. CBD’s indirect interest in Sendas Distribuidora at September 30, 2006 corresponded to 42.57% of total capital. It is incumbent upon CBD´s Board of Executive Officers to conduct the operating and administrative management of Sendas Distribuidora, in addition to its prevailing decision when electing or removing executive officers.

Pursuant to its Shareholders’ Agreement, Sendas S.A. may at any time as from February 1, 2007 exercise the right to barter its paid-in shares or a portion thereof, for preferred shares of CBD. At September 30, 2006, Sendas S.A. held 42.57% shareholding in the total capital of Sendas Distribuidora, 23.65% of which already paid-in and 18.92% to be paid-in.

Should Sendas S.A. exercise such right to barter, CBD will comply with the obligation, through one of the following:

i) To conduct the share barter trade for the Value of Transfer (*);

ii) To purchase the shares on which the barter rights have been exercised in cash, for the Value of Transfer (*);

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

(*) Value of Transfer will be the value of the paid-in shares (23.65% at September 30, 2006), which must the higher among the options below, limited to CBD’s market value:

Table of Contents

CBD Preferred shares owned by Sendas S.A., after exchange, shall only be sold according to the following dates:

On September 16, 2005, Sendas S.A. on one side, and CBD and its subsidiaries, on the other side, entered into the 2nd Amendment and Consolidation to the Sendas Distribuidora Shareholders’ Agreement, through which, among the following, resolved on:

(i) 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 association 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 revenue by employee of the five largest supermarket chains, non-reduction of the term of current lease agreements, among others.

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

(ii) Capital subscription by the AIG Group

In order to reducing net indebtedness and strengthening the capital structure of the subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora, on November 30, 2004, its shareholders and investment funds of the AIG Group ("AIG") entered into an agreement through which AIG invested the amount of R$ 135,675 (equivalent to US$ 50 million) 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.

23


Table of Contents

According to the above mentioned agreement, CBD 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 CBD which may be used to subscribe up to three billion preferred shares to be issued by CBD in a future capital increase.

The price of the future issuance of CBD preferred shares will be set based on market value at the time of issuance, and the amount of issued shares will 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 CBD, CBD 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, EBITDA multiple and the Net Financial Indebtedness of Sendas Distribuidora. This “Exit Price” will give AIG the right to purchase CBD preferred shares according the criteria below:

At September 30, 2006, total AIG shareholding represented a credit of R$ 139,080 (R$ 141,403 at June 30, 2006), which, converted to the average quotation of the last week of September 2006 of CBD shares in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA), would be equivalent to a total of 2,379,112,000 shares (2,029,293,000 shares at June 30, 2006) of the Company (2% of its capital).

d) Investment agreement – CBD and Itaú

Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. ("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, entitling Itaú to hold the equivalent to 50% of such company. Subsequently, with capital of R$ 150,000, Miravalles set up Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. – FIC, a company which operates in structuring and commercialization of financial products and services exclusively to CBD customers.

24


Table of Contents

The subscription made by Itaú in Miravalles resulted in gain from shareholding dilution of R$ 380,444 in 2004. This gain was reduced by the disposal of certain assets related to the operation, by provisions for start-up costs and, particularly, by the portion related to the agreement to make certain amounts subject to performance goals during a maximum period of five years, as from the start-up of FIC operations, which occurred in the first quarter of 2005. The net gain was recorded (after the aforementioned reductions) under “Non-operating results” for the year ended December 31, 2004.

On December 22, 2005, an amendment to the partnership agreement between CBD, 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 other performance goals were established. At September 30, 2006 the Company recognized the net amount of R$ 14,372 in the quarter (R$ 7,782 at June 30, 2006) under non-operating results, due to the Board’s reassessment concerning the probability of fina charging during the quarter, maintaining a net provision amounting to R$ 35,111 (R$ 49,483 at June 30, 2006) for payment of fines should the remaining goals not be met.

This partnership, which is effective for 20 years (and may be extended), resulted in operating synergies, enabling expansion and improvement of the current offer of services and products to CBD customers, including, among others, Private Label Credit Cards (Own label: restricted to use within CBD stores), credit card company cards with widespread acceptance, direct credit to consumers and personal loans. The operational management of FIC is under the responsibility of Itaú.

The Miravalles’ financial information for the quarters ended September 30 and June 30, 2006 were reviewed by other independent auditors, who issued an unqualified report on the special review. At September 30, 2006, total assets and net result of operations of said investee represented 0.4% and (34.5)%, (0.4% and (12.0%) at June 30, 2006) respectively, in relation to the Company’s consolidated quarterly information.

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, 2006 was 13.4% (15.2% at June 30, 2006).

(i) Working capital financing

Obtained from local banks and primarily used to fund customer credit. Working capital financing is mostly secured by promissory notes.

(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) or are denominated based on a basket of foreign currencies to reflect the BNDES’ funding portfolio, plus an annual interest rates, in both cases.

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, measured 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.

14. Provision for Contingencies

Provision for contingencies is estimated by management, supported by its legal counsel. Such provision was set up in an amount considered sufficient to cover losses considered probable by the Company’s legal counsel, as shown below:

        Parent Company        Consolidated 
     
    9.30.2006    6.30.2006    9.30.2006    6.30.2006 
         
 
COFINS and PIS (i)   956,389    932,280    991,094    975,892 
Labor claims    40,815    45,206    43,468    47,791 
Civil and other    137,538    106,406    155,499    122,979 
         
 
    1,134,742    1,083,892    1,190,061    1,146,662 
         

a) Taxes

Tax-related contingencies are indexed to the SELIC (Central Bank Overnight Rate), of 14.17% at September 30, 2006 (15.18% at June 30, 2006) and, in some cases, are subject to fines. In all cases, when applicable, both interest charges and fines have been computed with respect to unpaid amounts and are fully accrued.

i) COFINS and PIS

The rate for COFINS increased from 2% to 3% in 1999 and the tax base of both COFINS and PIS was extended in 1999 to encompass other types of income, including financial income. The Company is challenging the increase in contributions to the COFINS and PIS taxes. Provision for COFINS and PIS includes unpaid amounts, monetarily restated, resulting from the suit 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.

After the enactment of Law 10,637, dated December 31, 2002, which established new rules for PIS assessment, with effects as from December 1st, 2002 on, and Law 10,833/03, dated December 29, 2003, with effects as from February 1st 2004 on, the Company and its subsidiaries started to pay these contributions as provided for by prevailing laws.

The Subsidiary Sé Supermercados Ltda. obtained on September 22, 2006, final favorable ruling regarding the questioning linked to the broadening of COFINS and PIS tax base, resulting in a reversal of the provision in the amount of R$ 8,874 and R$ 921, respectively, on that date.

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, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of R$ 43,468 (R$ 47,791 at June 30, 2006) for contingencies related to labor claims, which are in progress mostly at lower courts (nearly 80%). Management, based on advice from legal counsel, evaluates these contingencies and provides for losses where probable and reasonably estimable, bearing in mind previous experiences in relation to the amounts sought. Labor claims are indexed to the TR (Referential Interest Rate), of 1.6% at September 30, 2006 (1% at June 30, 2006), plus 1% monthly interest.

c) Civil and other

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

Among these lawsuits, we point out the following:

d) Possible losses

The Company has other contingencies which have been analyzed by the legal counsel, which losses were evaluated as possible but not probable, and therefore have not been accrued, at September 30, 2006, as follows:

e) Restricted escrow deposits

The Company is challenging the payment of certain taxes, contributions and labor-related obligations and has made court escrow deposits (restricted deposits) of equivalent amounts pending final legal decisions, in addition to collateral deposits related to provisions for judicial suits. The amount of restricted escrow deposits at September 30, 2006 stood at R$ 243,169 (R$ 248,704 at June 30, 2006).

f) Tax audits

In accordance with current legislation in Brazil, federal, state and municipal taxes and payroll charges are subject to audit by the related authorities, for periods that vary between 5 and 30 years.

15. Taxes Payable in Installments

Due to judicial precedent formed in decisions which were unfavorable for other taxpayers in similar lawsuits, the Company decided to withdraw certain claims and legal actions, opting to join the Special Tax Payment Installments Program (PAES), pursuant to Law 10,680/2003. These installment payments are subject to the Long-Term Interest Rate – TJLP and may be payable in up to 120 months.

The amounts payable in installments were as follows:

At September 30, 2006, in compliance with CVM Deliberation 371, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded deferred income and social contribution taxes tax credits arising from tax loss carryforward, negative basis of social contribution and temporary differences in the amount of R$ 145,161 (R$ 112,824 at June 30, 2006) in the Parent Company and R$ 550,352 (R$ 504,988 at June 30, 2006) in Consolidated.

Recognition of deferred income and social contribution tax assets refer basically to tax loss, negative basis of social contribution and temporary differences carryforward, acquired from Sé Supermercados, and those generated by the subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora, realization of which, following restructuring measures, was considered probable.

The Company prepares annual studies of scenarios and generation of future taxable income, which are approved by management, indicating the capacity of benefiting from the tax credit set up.

Based on such studies, the Company estimates that the recovery of tax credits will occur in up to ten years, as follows:

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.

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 to conform with the mandatory minimum dividend regulations, which can include the interest attributed to equity, net of tax.

c) Revenue reserve

(i) Legal reserve – the legal reserve may be transferred to capital or used to absorb losses, but is not, generally, available for distribution as cash dividends.

The legal reserve is formed based on appropriations from retained earnings of 5% of annual net income as stated in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP 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.

d) 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's 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 percentage may vary for each beneficiary or series.

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 option date (1st tranche) and (ii) 50% in the last month of the fifth year following the option date (2nd tranche), with the condition that a certain number of shares will be restricted as to sale until the date the beneficiary retires.

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

18. 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.

b) Concentration of credit risk

The Company’s sales are direct to customers. Credit risk is minimized due to the large customer base and current control procedures that monitor the creditworthiness of customers. Advances to suppliers are made only to selected suppliers. The financial condition of suppliers is analyzed on an ongoing basis to limit credit risk.

In order to minimize credit risk from investments, the Company adopts policies restricting cash and/or 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, 2006 approximates market value, reflecting maturities or frequent price adjustments of these instruments, as shown below:

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 to charges to the CDI variation, which reflects market value.

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 12) for floating rate interest in Brazilian reais. As of September 30, 2006, the U.S. dollar-denominated short-term and long-term debt balances of R$ 1,223,597, equivalent to US$ 562,780 (R$ 1,118,299 - US$ 516,703 at June 30, 2006), include financing of R$ 1,215,489, equivalent to US$ 559,051 (R$ 1,108,377 - US$ 512,118 at June 30, 2006), at weighted average interest rates of 5.1% per annum (5.7% p.a. at June 30, 2006) which are covered by floating rate swaps, linked to a percentage of the CDI in Brazilian reais, calculated at weighted average rate of 103.6% of CDI (103.3% of CDI at June 30, 2006).

8.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONDOLIDATED PERFORMANCE DURING THE QUARTER

Sales Performance
Total net sales increased by 2.5% in the quarter. 

The Company’s gross sales amounted to R$3,914.6 million in the third quarter of 2006, a 1.3% increase compared to the previous year. Over the same period, the Company recorded net sales totaling R$3,298.9 million, a 2.5% growth as compared to 2005. Year to date, gross sales amounted to R$11,816.6 million, a 1.9% increase in relation to the first nine months of 2005, and net sales totaled R$9,937.2 million, a 3.1% growth year-over-year.

Note: ‘Same-store’ sales figures refer to only those stores that have been operational for at least 12 months.

Same store - Sales based on the ‘same store’ concept had a slightly positive performance in the third quarter, with a 0.2% growth (gross sales) and a 1.5% increase (net sales). This result was primarily due to the sales of non-food products, which, even after the World Cup, maintained substantial growth rates in the period (17.0%), with a special highlight to the consumer electronics category (especially IT products). Despite its still low share in the Company’s total sales, the e-commerce site (Extra.com) has also presented a substantial growth in the year. In addition, industry data indicate that CBD had market share gains in the period.

Food – Still under the impact of price deflation in relevant product categories (primarily perishable foods and commodities) and also affected by the price reduction, as a consequence of the strategy adopted by the Company, the sales of food products dropped 5.1% in the quarter. This situation affected CBD’s sales performance in July and

August. However, in September, as a result of the price competitiveness strategy implemented over the last months, food sales began to increase in volume (primarily in grocery), when compared to the previous months. In addition, the number of customers in the Company’s stores increased.

Outlook – For the next months, the Company will firmly maintain its competitive price strategy, which is aimed at increasing sales and market share gains, and will seek price competitiveness in the micro-markets in which the stores are located. CBD still expects to reach higher sales based on the ‘same store’ concept in the last quarter as the price strategy consolidates.

Operating Performance
Focus on price competitiveness and expense reductions. 

CBD has achieved important results related to its expense reductions, low expense dilution notwithstanding. The gains obtained enabled the Company to expand the investment in higher price competitiveness when compared to 2005 and to the previous quarter, which will be fundamental to achieve future market share gains. In order to support the competitiveness strategy, the pursuit of lower expenses will continue over the next quarters.

On October 31, 2006, the Company chose to adhere to the state fiscal amnesty program governed by Law no. 12,399/06, ratified by the Governor of the State of São Paulo, who partly and considerably pardoned the collection of interest and fine in the payment of fiscal debts resulting from taxable events related to the value-added tax (ICMS), occurred up to December 31, 2005. Thus, the Company paid the total debt related to tax assessments by transactions of purchase, industrialization and sales for exports of soybean and soybean byproducts (as per note disclosed in the Quarterly Information – ITR – of September 2005) on October 31, 2006, which after the 90% reduction ratified in the amount of fines and 50% in the amount of interest, totaled R$96.8 million.

Meeting the requirements of NPC 10 – Subsequent Events to the Balance Sheet Date and CVM Resolution no. 505 as of June 19, 2006, the Company accounted, on September 30, 2006, the full payment made on October 31, 2006.

In accordance with the methodical interpretation of the sole paragraph of article 1 of Law 12,399/06, mentioned above, the taxpayer’s adhesion to said amnesty does not imply waiver of right and therefore, it may not be used as a justification or foundation for questioning any other legal requirement.

Therefore, the total effect of the provision negatively impacted results in R$96.8 million, of which R$2.4 million had already been provisioned in the previous quarter and R$ 94.4 million had impact in 3Q06. Of this total, R$51.9 million had an impact on the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and R$42.4 million affected the financial expenses (portion related to fines and interest). The effect net of tax income in net income was R$74.9 million in the quarter, as shown in the table below:

The following comments were prepared to reflect the Company’s operating performance as well as its results in the quarter and therefore do not take into account the provision adjustment shown above, since it represents a nonrecurring item that affected the results in the period. Full pro forma income statement is presented in the table on page 10.

A 28.0% pro forma gross margin in the quarter
Price reduction strategy contributed to this performance 


Pro forma gross income totaled R$924.7 million in the quarter, with a 28.0% gross margin, 240 basis points lower than the 30.4% reported over the same period of the previous year. This performance was the result of the price reduction strategy adopted since June, i.e., gross margin was affected only during one month of last quarter while it was impacted during all months of the third quarter due to the increased competitiveness.

CBD continued its product price revision process aimed at reducing discrepancies compared to its main competitors and enhancing the price perception/image of some highly representative items in the consumers’ cart. In addition, CBD adopted a more aggressive price reduction strategy for the traffic-generating products. This strategy brought about substantial results.

Table of Contents

The increase of sales based on the ‘same store’ concept, coupled with the higher market share (based on data recently published by the competition) at the end of the quarter, indicates that the competitiveness strategy is on the right track.


Operating Expenses
Operating expenses level is lower than in the previous year, despite
weak sales and nonrecurring expenses.


Operating expenses amounted to R$691.0 million in the quarter, only a 1.0% growth as compared to the previous year. As a percentage of net sales, expenses amounted to 20.9%, lower than in the same period of the previous year (21.3%) . This is a significant performance, since it was achieved despite a series of negative events, such as (i) current sales with low dilution, (ii) nonrecurring expenses, which had a negative impact on the quarter (R$11.5 million), (iii) increases in the main expense accounts, such as utilities and personnel, (iv) additional lease expenses of the 60 stores that were not reflected in the previous year (R$27.7 million).

Nonrecurring expenses had a R$6.9 million impact on general and administrative expenses in the quarter. Net of this effect, nominal expenses would have been lower than in the previous year, as well as the expenses as a percentage of net sales, which would have been 3.3% (as compared to 3.5% in the previous year).

The highlight was selling expenses, which, despite nonrecurring expenses totaling R$4.6 million, increased only 0.6% in relation to the previous year and 17.4% on the sales in the quarter (as compared to 17.7% in the same quarter of 2005). Net of nonrecurring expenditures, selling expenses as a net sales percentage would have been 17.2% .


Pro Forma EBITDA Margin was 7.1%
Price competitiveness strategy and nonrecurring expenses affected EBITDA in the period


Pro forma EBITDA for the quarter totaled R$233.7 million, with a 7.1% margin – which corresponds to a 20.4% drop in relation to the same period of 2005. This result was highly influenced by the Company’s price competitiveness strategy and, as a result, by the 240 basis points reduction in the period pro forma gross margin. In addition, sales for the quarter were weakened and impacted by price decreases and did not contribute to a higher dilution of expenses.

Net of nonrecurring expenses and additional lease expenses of the 60 stores (which were not reflected in the previous year), EBITDA margin would have presented a 7.0% drop compared to the previous year, with an 8.3% EBITDA margin (9.1% over the same period of 2005).

Pro Forma Financial Income
Lower interest rates had a positive impact


The pro-forma net financial income was negative by R$36.7 million in the quarter, an improvement compared to the R$60.4 million negative financial income in the same period of previous year.

Financial expenses decreased from R$185.7 million in previous year to R$116.5 million this year, basically due to the decrease in nominal interest rates. As an example, the accumulated Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) variation decreased from 4.53% in 3Q05 to 3.51% in 3Q06.

Although net banking debt showed a R$48.9 million growth year over year, the impact of interest rates decrease is most significant.

Gross bank indebtedness decreased by R$142.9 million, reaching R$1,947.7 million, whereas cash position decreased by R$191.8 million (amounting to R$1,409.7 million). The same positive impact occurred in the adjustments of tax contingencies and payment in installments, representing about 20% of the total financial expenses.

Total financial revenues decreased from R$125.3 million in 2005 to R$79.7 million in 2006. Besides the decrease of financial investment revenues due to the decline in interest rates, the promotional environment of credit sales continued to decrease the revenues with charges in installment sales.

The Company believes its current financial leverage is still low. EBITDA for the first nine months of the year was equivalent to 4.8 times net financial expenses. Net debt with banks was equivalent to 0.50 of EBITDA accumulated in the last four quarters.

Equity Income
Equity income is negative, but within the expected.


FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD), a company that offers financial products and services to CBD’s customers, increased its customer portfolio in the quarter exceeding 5 million customers, with the following highlights:(i) over 617,000 credit card customers between general credit cards and exclusive store cards; (ii) 50,000 customers of the new personal loan product; (iii) 103,000 new credit plan contracts; and (iv) 108,000 new extended warranty contracts.

In order to reach this growth and prepare the ground for better results, the Company carried out a prepayment of expenses (infrastructure and development of products), with impact on the third quarter

result, which was a negative R$15.0 million for CBD. Net of this effect, the result arising from FIC this quarter would have been slightly lower than the R$12.2 million obtained of the second quarter.

Revenues continue to follow a growth trend, having increased 40% in relation to the previous quarter. Default still remains high, although in line with the growth of the portfolio, presenting signs of improvement, which should become apparent as from the last quarter of this year.

At the end of the period, receivables amounted to R$788 million through the products sold in the Company’s 330 stores.

In line with the business development, we expect negative results to be reduced and break-even point to be achieved by FIC in 2007.

Non-Operating Income
Closing of stores and write-off of assets affect the results.


Net non-operating income for the quarter was a negative R$12.6 million. This result was primarily due to the write-off of assets of closed stores (R$4.4 million) and to the write-off of non-operating assets (R$6.0 million).

Minority Interest: Sendas Distribuidora
Gross margin remains on the same level of 2Q06


Sendas Distribuidora’s gross sales represented 19.2% of CBD’s total sales and totaled R$753.3 million in the quarter. Net sales amounted to R$652.9 million.

Following the strategy of higher competitiveness that CBD has adopted since the last quarter, Sendas Distribuidora’s gross margin totaled 25.3%, virtually the same level in relation to the previous quarter and 300 basis points lower than the gross margin of the 3Q05.

Even though impacted by nonrecurring expenditures amounting to R$1.5 million in the period, operating expenses were 6.2% lower than in the same quarter of the previous year. In addition, sales have not yet shown a reaction so as to allow a higher dilution of the expenses of the quarter. As a result, EBITDA margin for the period was 1.7% (or 2.0% net of nonrecurring effects), lower than the 5.1% of the third quarter of 2005, due to the lower gross margin for the period.

Financial income was a negative R$36.9 million, which had a strong influence on the results of Sendas Distribuidora. Net income for the quarter was a negative R$42.2 million, generating a minority interest income for CBD amounting to R$24.2 million (R$15.9 million in the third quarter of 2005).

Pro Forma Net Income
Net income for the quarter strongly influenced by higher competitiveness and
nonrecurring expenses.


Pro forma net income for the quarter amounted to R$31.5 million, a 55.2% decrease in relation to the same period of 2005. This reduction was primarily due to a lower gross margin, which was a result of the price competitiveness strategy (lower by 240 basis points), by nonrecurring expenses, related to restructuring expenditures, in the amount of R$11.5 million as well as by a non-operating income totaling R$12.6 million.

The Company reported a net loss in the quarter amounting to R$43.4 million, negatively impacted by the provision previously mentioned (please refer to comments in “Operating Performance” – page 2). Accumulated net income in the first nine months totaled R$57.8 million.

Investments
Amount allocated in the quarter totaled R$226.9 million.


Investments for the period amounted to R$226.9 million, as compared to R$267.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, and were primarily directed to the construction of new stores to be opened in the fourth quarter, the opening of stores and the renovation of stores. In the first nine months of 2006, investments amounted to R$520.5 million, as compared to R$601.6 million in the previous year.

Third quarter highlights were:

1.     
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 and nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, including the balance sheets, statements of income, report on the Company’s performance and other significant information prepared by Company management, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The quarterly financial information of investees Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios and Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 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 to above 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.
