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 June 30, 2006, the Company had 536 stores in operation (554 stores at March 31, 2006), of which 381 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 (d)). 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 a parent company of CBD, whose control is shared by both group of shareholders.

c) Casino joint venture agreement (Continued)

On June 22, 2005, the Groups entered into Shareholders’ Agreements of the Parent Company (Vieri) and CBD, which established that CBD control 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 Independent Accountants (IBRACON).

As per Official Memorandum CVM/SNC/SEP 01/2006, the Company reclassified the balances under the caption “Redeemable PAFIDC quotas of interest” to “Loans and financing” group of accounts, and additionally, the amounts derived from commercial agreements in the financial statements at December 31, 2005 were reclassified from “Other Receivables” to “Accounts Receivable”.

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.

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

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.

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, less 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.

Beginning 2005, the Company, following the NBC T 19.5 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.

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

g) Property and equipment (Continued)

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).

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 Ruling 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..

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

m) Earnings per share

The calculation was made based on the number of outstanding shares at the balance sheet date and as if net income of the period were distributed in its entirety. 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 Ruling 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").

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 need not 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 June 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") was not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements, since it does not represent any significant change to the consolidated economic unit.

The proportional investment of the Parent Company in the income of the investee and 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 June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 earn interest mainly at the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) rate.

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 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 indirect interest of CBD in Sendas Distribuidora at June 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 a shareholder agreement, Sendas S.A. may at any time after February 1, 2007 exercise the right to barter its paid-in shares or a portion thereof, for preferred shares of CBD. At June 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% not paid in yet.

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

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

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

23


Table of Contents

iii) Adopt any corporate procedure (CBD capital increase, absorption of shares per article 252 of the Corporation Law, or any other);

(*) Value of Transfer will be the value of the paid-in shares (23.7% at June 30, 2006), which must the higher among the options below, limited to the CBD market value:

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

On September 16, 2005 the 2nd Amendment and Consolidation to the Sendas Distribuidora Shareholders’ Agreement was signed between Sendas S.A. and CBD and subsidiaries, by which the following was decided:

(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.

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 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 base of which is 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:

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

At June 30, 2006, total AIG shareholding represented a credit of R$ 141,403 (R$ 137,827 at March 31, 2006), which, converted to the average quotation of the last week of June 2006 of CBD shares in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA), would be equivalent to a total of 2,029,293,000 shares (1,494,970,000 shares at March 31, 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, with the results that Itaú holds 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.

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 agreement to make certain amounts subject to performance goals during a maximum period of five years, as from the startup 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 goals were established. At June 30, 2006 the Company recognized the net amount of R$ 7,782 in the quarter (R$ 13,302 at March 31, 2006) under non-operating results, due to meeting of certain performance goals during the quarter, maintaining a net provision amounting to R$ 49,483 (R$ 44,849 at March 31, 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 June 30 and March 31, 2006 were reviewed by other independent auditors, who issued an unqualified report on the special review. At June 30, 2006, total assets and net result of operations of said investee represented 0.4% and (12.0)%, (0.5% and 15.4% at March 31, 2006) respectively, in relation to the Company’s consolidated quarterly information.

a) Goodwill

Upon the acquisition of subsidiaries, the amounts originally recorded under investments – as goodwill based mainly on expected future profitability, were transferred to “Deferred charges”, and will continue to be amortized over periods consistent with the earnings projections on which they were originally based, limited to 10 years.

The goodwill transferred from investment is a consequence of the merger of the subsidiary Cipal in the quarter (see Note 9 (c)).

b) Pre-operating expenses and other

Expenses incurred in 2005 concerning the property sales project, related basically to long-term contract initial fee, will be amortized according to their maturity. The project also includes expenses with professional fees, to be amortized over 5 years.

This also includes expenses with specialized consulting fees, incurred during the development and implementation of strategic projects that began in the fourth quarter of 2005 and are still in place in 2006, and whose final objective is to obtain efficiency and productivity gains already in 2006. The major projects involve commercial strategy and a new category management process, including the permanent admittance of imported products into the country, pricing management, and review of the product line. Each project has a defined process and cost, with technical feasibility supported by future benefits to be provided by them. As soon as the projects are

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 
       
    6.30.2006    3.31.2006    6.30.2006    3.31.2006 
         
                 
COFINS and PIS (i)   932,280    899,355    975,892    949,240 
Labor claims (ii)   45,206    44,210    47,791    46,603 
Cívil and other (iii)   106,406    101,044    122,979    116,981 
         
                 
    1,083,892    1,044,609    1,146,662    1,112,824 
         

a) Taxes

Tax-related contingencies are indexed to the SELIC (Central Bank Overnight Rate), of 15.18% at June 30, 2006 (16.7% at March 31, 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 (Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing) increased from 2% to 3% in 1999 and the tax base of both COFINS and PIS (Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Integration Program) 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.

14. 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 June 30, 2006, the Company recorded a provision of R$ 47,791 (R$ 46,603 at March 31, 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% at June 30, 2006 (0.5% at March 31, 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, losses of which were evaluated as possible but not probable, and therefore have not been accrued, at June 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.

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:

    Parent Company

At June 30, 2006, in compliance with CVM Ruling 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$ 112,824 (R$ 106,759 at March 31, 2006) in the Parent Company and R$ 504,988 (R$ 484,082 at March 31, 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.

40


Table of Contents

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.

41


Table of Contents

18. Financial Instruments (Continued)

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 June 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 exchanging the financial charges and exchange variation of loans denominated in foreign currency into local currency, the Company contracted swap operations, indexing these 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 June 30, 2006, the U.S. dollar-denominated short-term and long-term debt balances of R$ 1,118,299 equivalent to US$ 516,703, (R$ 1,300,067 equivalent to US$ 598,447 at March 31, 2006), include financing of R$ 1,108,377 equivalent to US$ 512,118 (R$ 1,287,425 equivalent to US$ 592,628 at March 31, 2006), at weighted average interest rates of 5.7% per annum (5.4% p.a. at March 31, 2006) which are covered by floating rate swaps, linked to a percentage of the CDI in Brazilian reais, calculated at weighted average rate of 103.3% of CDI (103.7% of CDI at March 31, 2006).

19. Insurance Coverage (Not Reviewed)

Coverage at June 30, 2006 is considered sufficient by management to meet possible losses and is summarized as follows:

8.01 – COMMENTS ON THE CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE DURING THE QUARTER

The Company’s operating and financial information, unless otherwise indicated, is presented on a consolidated basis and denominated in Reais, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law. Comparisons in this document relate to 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 results.

Highlights

Financial    Operating 

         Net sales totaled R$ 3,333.3 million in the 2Q06, a 5.6% increase year-over-year;             CBD carried out an ample price revision in all of its Business Units: over 2,500 prices were revised, representing approximately 90% of the Company’s sales; 
 
         Gross margin reached 29.1% in the quarter, due to the Easter promotional period and the strategy adopted by the Company of investing in price competitiveness; 
 
         The performance of the Extra/Extra-Eletro Business Unit was one of the highlights of the period, due to the higher presence of non-food products in the sales mix; 
 
         EBITDA amounted to R$ 261.5 million in the quarter, with a 7.8% margin. In the 1H06, EBITDA amounted to R$ 539.3 million, with an 8.1% margin; 
 
         CBD adopted a more aggressive price reduction strategy in Rio de Janeiro so that the Sendas flag could face the stiff competition in this region; 
 
         Recorded net income totaled R$41.0 million in the 2Q06 with a net margin of 1.2%. In the 1H06, it amounted to R$ 101.2 million, with a net margin of 1.5%.   
         FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD) revenues increased 34% in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter as a result of the sales of products offered in 323 stores of CBD. 
 

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (CBD) is the largest Brazilian retailer, with 536 stores in 15 Brazilian states. It operates under three formats: supermarkets (Pão de Açúcar, CompreBem and Sendas), hypermarkets (Extra) and consumer electronics/home appliance stores (Extra-Eletro).

Sales PerformanceSame
Store Sales grew 2.5% in the period.
 

CBD’s gross sales totaled R$ 3,977.3 million in the 2Q06, a 4.9% increase year-over-year. Net sales amounted to R$ 3,333.3 million, a 5.6% growth as compared to 2005.

Sales based on the same store concept increased 2.5% in the quarter due to the strong influence of the performance of non-food products, which continue to present fairly high growth rates (18.6%), whereas the performance of food products (-2.4%) was still influenced by price deflation in items such as meat and poultry and fresh products. The Extra/Extra-Eletro Division was one of the highlights of the period, as a result of the increase in the presence of non-food products in its sales mix.

The consumption environment is still highly retracted for the food sector, and the continued price deflation in some product categories affected the Company’s sales performance. However, at the end of the quarter, CBD put into practice its price reduction strategy to increase its competitiveness, pursuing higher assets turnover and market share gains.


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

Operating Performance
Focus on price competitiveness and expense reductions.
 

The following comments on operating performance refer to CBD's consolidated numbers, which fully include the operating results of Sendas Distribuidora (a partnership of CBD with the Sendas chain, in the state of Rio de Janeiro).

The focus of CBD’s initiatives in the first half was the reduction of expenses aimed at implementing a sustainable price competitiveness strategy, which will lead to market share gains. Part of the efficiency gains obtained to date was transferred to product prices. Coupled with that, the Company also attempted to enhance the relationship with its suppliers, based on the development of partnerships focused on growth and profitability.

These strategic initiatives are expected to be developed during the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007, when the same store concept should reach a higher sales level.

CBD is at the beginning of the learning curve of the strategy it adopted, which is aimed at improving price competitiveness. Its consolidation will depend upon the reaction of consumers and the elasticity of sales in relation to prices. The Company believes that one decisive factor for this plan to succeed will be to consistently establish among consumers the perception of competitive prices in all its flags.

Gross margin reached 29.1% in the quarter
More competitive prices have an impact on gross margin.
 

Gross income amounted to R$ 971.1 million in the 2Q06, and gross margin was 29.1%, lower than the 30.5% gross margin recorded in the same period of the previous year. This performance is a result of a period in which more promotions were carried out and of a more competitive pricing policy adopted by the Company.

Introduced in the beginning of the year, the Dinâmica Comercial project changed the Commercial area organizational model (now Purchasing and Category Management are managed by a single executive board) and continues to present substantial advances. Its implementation was fundamental for initiating the strategy of higher competitiveness at the end of the 2Q06. CBD carried out a comprehensive price revision, which involved all Divisions, aimed at reducing discrepancies vis-à-vis the competition. As a result, over 2,500 prices were revised, representing approximately 90% of the Company’s sales.

Operating Expenses
Operating Expenses reached lower levels than those of 2005, net of
 
nonrecurring expenses and additional leasing expenses.
 

Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales expenses was 17.8% in the 2Q06, virtually the same level when compared to the same period in the previous year (17.7%) . Additional leasing expenses related to the leasing of 60 stores from the Diniz family, amounting to R$ 28.2 million, were not reflected in the previous year and contributed to this result. Net of this item, selling expenses would represent 16.9% in the period.

Administrative expenses fell slightly in relation to the previous year, from 3.6% to 3.5% as a percentage of net sales expenses. In absolute terms, this item increased only 3.2%, less than the sales growth in the period (5.6%) and the salary raise (5%) granted by the Company as from September 2005.

Nonrecurring expenses in turn amounted to R$ 5 million in the quarter (R$ 4 million of selling expenses and R$ 1 million of general and administrative expenses), as a result of restructuring expenses. Net of the effect of the above-mentioned leasing and nonrecurring expenses, the item ‘operating expenses as a percentage of net sales expenses’ would have been 20.3% in the 2Q06 (versus 21.3% in the previous year).

Another relevant point was that sales performance was still very unfavorable to expenses dilution in the quarter.

7.8% EBTIDA Margin
EBTIDA pressured by more competitive prices, leasing expenses and
 
nonrecurring expenses

In the quarter, EBITDA decreased 10.3% in comparison to the previous year and EBITDA margin was 7.8% . This performance was due to the following reasons: (i) higher amount of promotions in the quarter and the price competitiveness strategy, (ii) weak dilution of expenses due to still retracted sales, (iii) increase of leasing and nonrecurring expenses, and (iv) performance of Sendas Distribuidora.

Net of nonrecurring expenses and the leasing of the 60 stores (which were not reflected in the previous year), EBITDA would have grown 1.1%, with an EBITDA margin of 8.8% (as compared to 9.2% in the 2Q05).

Financial Income
Average interest rates and debt with banks were smaller in the period.
 

Financial expenses in the quarter amounted to R$ 152.1 million, corresponding to a 15.0% drop in relation to the previous year. Two events contributed to this result: the average interest rate was smaller than in the previous year and the smaller debt with banks.

Financial revenues totaled R$ 94.5 million, 18.3% lower than the revenues posted in the 2Q05, as a result of the higher amount of promotions in the quarter, primarily for selling consumer electronics (due to the World Cup), with a higher volume of installment sales by credit card, not bearing interest.

As a result, net financial expenses amounted to R$ 57.7 million, 8.9% lower than the same quarter of the previous year.

Equity Income
FIC products amounted to R$762.4 million in receivables. Equity income
 is still negative, but as within expectations.

FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD), a company that offers financial products and services for CBD customers, with a portfolio of over 4 million clients, substantially contributed to the Company’s sales in the quarter.

During the period, FIC generated a negative result amounting to R$ 12.2 million for CBD, in line with expectations. Second-quarter revenues increased 34% as compared to the first quarter, consistent with the payoff curve of financing products and services. Provisions for losses were adjusted and included the client portfolio increases in the last quarters.

FIC keeps aiming at growth and increase of its active clients base, and reached 13.7% share in the Company’s sales in the quarter.

As a result of the selling of financial products offered in 323 of the Company’s stores, FIC’s receivables amounted to R$ 762.4 million in the end of the period.

It is expected that the negative results will be reduced in the second half and FIC will reach break-even in 2007. FIC’s current shareholders’ equity is an estimated R$ 86.7 million.

Non-Operating Income
Closing of stores affects the results.
 

Non-operating income for the quarter was a negative R$ 17.4 million, influenced by the write-off of assets related to the closing of 18 stores (R$ 25.2 million). However, this was partially offset by revenue of R$ 7.8 million related to the fulfillment of the performance goals set forth in the partnership with Itaú.

As part of the strategy adopted by the Company, which includes the pursuit of higher profitability, 18 stores were closed in the period. In addition to not being very representative in terms of sales, they had operating and financial indicators lower than the Company’s average.

Minority Interest: Sendas Distribuidora
More aggressive prices to face competition in Rio de Janeiro. 

In the 2Q06, CBD adopted a more aggressive strategy of price reduction in Rio de Janeiro to face the stiff competition in that state. This positioning had an impact on the gross margin of the Sendas flag, which was substantially lower than the Company's consolidated gross margin. In addition, the calendar effect and the lower dilution on expenses resulted in an EBITDA margin of only 2.6% in the period, lower than the 5.8% posted in the 2Q05.

The performance of Sendas Distribuidora was also strongly impacted by the high financial income (a negative R$ 38.2 million) and the non-operating result (a negative R$ 11.9 million), due to the closing of stores. As a result, net income for the quarter was a negative R$ 46.2 million, generating a minority interest income for CBD amounting to R$ 26.5 million (R$ 15.2 million in the 2Q05).

Among the Company’s main efforts for the next quarters are the recovery of profitability, through productivity increase and reduction of expenses, and the consolidation of Sendas’ positioning in the Rio de Janeiro market.

Net Income
Income is affected by the closing of stores and restructuring.
 

CBD posted a R$ 41.0 million net income in the quarter, a 36.1% decrease in relation to the R$ 64.2 million net income obtained in the same period of 2005. This reduction occurred primarily due to non-operating income as a result of the closing of stores and non-recurring expenses related to restructuring expenses.

58


Table of Contents

Investments
The amount allocated in the quarter totaled R$ 142.0 million
. 

In the 2Q06, CBD invested R$ 142.0 million (as compared to R$ 195.2 million in the 2Q05), primarily allocated to the construction of new stores (which will open in the second half), the renovation of stores, and the advanced acquisition of strategic land to ensure future investment plans.

In the first half, investments amounted to R$ 283.0 million as compared to R$ 334.1 million in the same period of the previous year.

Quarterly highlights were:

- Beginning of the construction of two Extra hypermarkets, one CompreBem store and two Pão de Açúcar stores, expected to be opened in the second half of 2006;

- Conversion of two Pão de Açúcar stores to the CompreBem;

- Opening of five gas stations in São Paulo and six drugstores – five in São Paulo and one in Pernambuco;

- Construction of gas stations and drugstores;

- Renovation of stores;

- Acquisition of land that will be used to build new stores;

- Investments in IT and logistics.

SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

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 six-month period ended June 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 June 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.
