The Company has prepared the Financial Statements according to the new accounting practices adopted in Brazil in compliance with the pronouncements, interpretations and guidelines of the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), effective from January 1, 2010, with retrospective effect from 2009, for comparison purposes. These Statements are also in accordance with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS), which are in consonance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

In 2010, net operating revenue reached R$ 9.2 billion, a 7.6% growth compared to 2009. Costs and expenses in the amount of R$ 6.6 billion grew 2.2% versus 2009. EBITDA was R$ 2.7 billion in 2009 and R$ 3.2 billion in 2010, an increase of 18.2%. EBITDA margin in 2010 was 34.9% and 31.8% in 2009.

EBIT grew 23.3%, from R$ 2.2 billion in 2009 to R$ 2.7 billion in 2010.

Disconsidering the application of the new CPCs and IFRS and in accordance with the accounting practices in effect in 2009, net income in 2010 would have been R$ 1,468.6 million, 6.9% up on 2009, which would have totaled R$ 1,373.9 million. EBITDA would have come to R$ 3,115.2 million R$2,741.7 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The EBITDA margin would have stood at 42.9% in 2010 and 40.7% in 2009.

$$/page=

Gross operating revenue from water and sewage grew from R$ 7.0 billion in 2009 to R$ 7.7 billion in 2010, an increase of R$ 609.8 million or 8.7%. The main factors that led to this variation were the tariff adjustments as of September 2009 (4.43%) and as of September 2010 (4.05%), and the increase of 3.8% in water billed volume and of 4.5% in sewage billed volume. Considering the 5.04% inflation, measured by the average IPCA of 2010 in comparison to the average IPCA of 2009, operating revenue actually grew 3.5%.

4. Construction revenue

Construction revenue grew R$ 90.9 million, or 4.5% when comparing to the previous year, moving from R$ 2,039.8 million to R$ 2,130.7 million, mostly due to the adoption of a new index for the calculation of construction margin. In 2009, 1.5% was used, and in 2010 the ratio was 2.6%.

5. Billed volume

6.1. Payroll and benefits

In 2010 payroll and benefits decreased by R$ 202.2 million or 12.6%, from R$ 1,603.2 million to R$ 1,401.0 million, due to the following:

  • Decline of R$140.4 million resulting from the 2009 provision for the payment of severance to employees who requested retirement in order to comply with the Term of Adjustment of Conduct - TAC;
  • Adjustment of actuarial calculation relating to the migration of approximately four thousand employees from the Defined Benefits Plan to Sabesprev Mais in December 2010, amounting to R$ 104.9 million;
  • Adjustment in the provision for Profit Sharing in the amount of R$ 18.3 million due to the reversal of the amounts provisioned in 2009; and
  • Reduction of R$ 13.9 million in payroll and benefits as a result of the layoffs under the TAC + 2% of the staff, despite the 5.05% salary raise in May 2010.

This decrease was partly offset by the following factors:

  • Complementary contribution of R$ 31.7 million to the actuarial liability relating to the complementary pension (G0 Plan) due to the change in the parameter with the reduction in the discount rate from 6.6% to 6.0%; and
  • Company’s contribution of R$ 33.0 million relating to the deficit caused by employees that migrated to Sabesprev-Mais.

In 4Q10 payroll and benefits decreased by R$ 70.5 million or 21.1%

6.2. Supplies

In 2010, expenses with Supplies decreased by R$ 9.3 million or 6.0%, when compared to 2009, from R$ 156.0 million to R$ 146.7 million. The main factors for this variation were lower expenses with materials for the maintenance of the equipment, maintenance in the production and of the aqueduct systems, water and sewage treatment station, and the pumping stations in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR) in the amount of R$ 10.0 million.

In 4Q10 expenses with supplies decreased by R$ 1.1 million or 2.5%

Page 4 of 13

6.3. Treatment supplies

In 2010 this item did not change significantly when comparing to 2009. However, between 4Q09 and 4Q10, these expenses increased by R$ 6.3 million or 20.0%, from R$ 31.5 million to R$ 37.8 million, due to the following:

Increase of R$ 3.8 million, due to the higher consumption of activated carbon, which is extremely seasonal varying in accordance with climatic conditions, caused by the proliferation of algae in dams that serve the Alto Tiet é production system; and
Increase of R$ 2.2 million in the consumption of a few products, such as: i) aluminum sulphate due to the price adjustment; and ii) hydrogen peroxide, due to a new contract specifically to serve the sewage s ystem in São Vicente and Praia Grande.

6.4. Services

In 2010 this item increased R$ 58.4 million or 6.4%, from R$ 911.1 million to R$ 969.5 million. The main factors were:

Residential connection and sewage network maintenance in the amount of R$ 18.4 million, due to the:
ü Increase in demand and the contractual amounts based on Global Sourcing in the municipalities of the Regional Systems, actions to optimize the sewage systems and the increase in maintenance works in the Baixada Santista region; and
ü Intensification of actions to meet the demands of the Córrego Limpo Program with the increase in sewage connections, cleaning and maintenance of stretches of the stream with the Municipal Government of São Paulo and increase in the execution of the maintenance services in the SPMR.
Paving services and replacement of sidewalks in the amount of R$ 14.2 million, on account of the offsetting of accounts with the Municipal Government of Santana do Parnaiba, in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (SPMR), and with the municipal governments of the cities served by the Regional Systems;
Hiring of consultancy, advisory and specialized services for diverse purposes in the amount of R$ 10.4 million including: organizational restructuring, implementation of value added management, hiring of auditing services, real time forecast information, study of flora and fauna to obtain the environmental license for the Rio Taiaçupeba basin, Contact Center R - teleservice in the municipalities belonging to the Regional Systems, among others;
Hydrometer reading and bill delivery expenses in the amount of R$ 9.4 million as a result of the usage of new technologies that allow greater security and agility in the bill issue and reading system at the SPMR and several municipalities belonging to the Regional Systems, in addition to the higher number of connections and the intensification of loss control actions;
Provision of services by the Companhia de Engenharia de Transito (CET) relating to works on public roads and agreement with Municipal Government of São Paulo for the storm drain cleanup operation, amounting to R$ 6.0 million;
Postage and telegraphs in the amount of R$ 4.6 million related to the delivery of water bills at a few Business Units by post;
Combat frauds of R$ 4.5 million on account of intensified loss control actions through inclusion of the activity in the Global Sourcing; and
Expenses with risk contracts for the recovery of credits, in the amount of R$ 4.1 million, due to the intensification of collection operations, which led to a R$ 311.6 million increase in revenues in 2010.

There was a decrease in the following services:

Agreement with the municipality of São Paulo:
ü Decrease of R$ 13.8 million due to a non-recurring decrease in the implementation of the Program for the Rational Use of Water (PURA) in municipal schools; and
ü Increase of R$ 4.9 million in the provision made in 2010 relating to the actions established in the agreement.

  • Decrease of R$ 7.9 million in the purchase of treated water due to the termination of the contract with Águas de Cajamar S/A in March 2010,and remuneration paid for the water supplied by Geoplan S/A to São Bernardo do Campo, appropriated in 2009; and
  • Decrease of R$ 5.0 million in the expense in 2010, as expected for the second year of the Public Private Partnership Alto Tietê.

In 4Q10 services increased R$ 41.4 million, or 19.1%, mainly due to revision of provisions related to the agreement between Sabesp and the São Paulo Municipal Government in 4Q09.

6.5. Electric power

In 2010 this item increased R$ 45.8 million or 9.4%, from R$ 485.5 million to R$ 531.3 million.

This result is associated with the tariff increase in the free and captive markets and the modest 1.9% increase in consumption, below average growth in the country and consumption class (utilities), especially considering the startup of new production units.

6.6. General expenses

In 2010 general expenses increased R$ 66.7 million or 17.7%, from R$ 377.5 million to R$ 444.2 million, mainly due to the R$ 161.1 million provision envisaged in the agreement with the Municipal Government of São Paulo, which is equivalent to 7.5% of the municipality’s gross revenue after deducting the Cofins and Pasep, calculated from the date of signing of the agreement, that is June 23, 2010.

This increase was partially offset by the lower need for provision for legal contingencies in relation to 2009, amounting to R$ 102.5 million.

In 4Q10 general expenses increased R$ 37.9 million, mainly due to the factors described above with the São Paulo Municipal Government in the amount of R$ 80.6 million, partially offset by the decrease in provision for legal contingencies in comparison to the 4Q09, in the amount of R$ 49.6 million.

6.7. Depreciation and amortization

This item decreased R$ 10.0 million or 1.8%, from R$ 562.2 million to R$ 552.2 million.

6.8. Credit write-offs

Credit write-offs increased by R$ 115.1 million, from R$ 117.4 million to R$ 232.5 million, mainly due to the need for complementing the provision on the billing of private clients and municipal public entities.

6.9. Tax expenses

In 2010 this expense grew R$ 8.4 million or 15.3%, due to the payment of the Municipal Real Estate Tax – IPTU, especially in the municipality of São Paulo in the amount of R$ 9.4 million.

7. Other operating revenues and expenses

Other operating expenses (net of revenues) decreased by R$ 44.7 million or 100.2%, mainly due to the following factors: (i) the adjustment of provision related to the actuarial commitment with the beneficiaries according the Law nº 4819/58 in the amount of R$ 30.9 million in 2009, whereas in 2010, this amount was reclassified to the payroll and related taxes account; and (ii) decline of R$ 4.1 million arising from the write-off of works in progress in 2009.

8.1. Financial expenses

In 2010 financial expenses dropped R$ 86.9 million, or 11.7%. The main factors that influenced this result were:

  • Decrease in the interest over lawsuit in the amount of R$ 158.7 million, due to the lower interest variation of 6.1% according to the judicial debt update table; and
  • Increase in interest by R$ 91.0 million, on domestic loans and financing due to some new funding in the period, such as: (i) the 10 th issue of debentures in November 2009, (ii) the 11 th issue of debentures in March 2010, (iii) the 12 th issue of debentures in June 2010, (iv) the 5 th issue of promissory notes in August 2010, and (v) the payments for financing agreements already signed.

  • Exchange variation on foreign loans and financing generated a negative impact of R$ 470.6 million, due to the 4.3% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar in 2010 compared to the 25.5% depreciation in 2009;
  • Monetary variations on domestic loans and financing increased by R$ 85.9 million, mainly due to the R$ 89.2 million increase due to the positive variation of the IGPM in 2010 of 11.3%, compared to a negative impact of 1.7% in 2009; and the R$ 3.3 million decrease due to the lower variation of the TR interest rate in 2010 of 0.69% compared to 0.71% in 2009; and
  • Other monetary variations increased R$ 23.7 million related to lawsuit.

9.2. Monetary variations on assets

Monetary variations on assets increased R$ 65.3 million, mainly due to the following factors:

  • Installment agreements updates, mainly with the municipalities of Taubaté and Ferraz de Vasconcelos;
  • Monetary updates of deposits related to lawsuits; and
  • Monetary update of the funds raised through the 11 th debenture issue, caused by the change in the Unit Price between the issue date and settlement date.

10. Operating indicators

In 2010 the water loss ratio remained stable in 26%, due to interruption in the water network maintenance services provided by third parties and contractual transition problems. The new companies hired presented a poor performance in meeting the loss ratio goal of 25%. Important to note that the works resumed their normal courses to align losses with our planned trajectory.

11. Loans and financing

In 2010, Sabesp contracted new debt in the amount of R$ 3.4 billion and amortized a total of R$ 1.8 billion. Net debt closed 2010 at R$ 6.2 billion, a 7.4% upturn on 2009. At the end of 2010, debt backed by foreign currency corresponded to 27% of the total, the same level as in 2009, 54% of which from multilateral agencies. Even considering the new funds the Company has been raising to comply with the investment program and the need to refinance debt, in 2010, net debt/EBITDA closed the year at 1.9x, versus 2.1x in 2009.

In December, Sabesp issued Eurobonds in the amount of US$350 million, maturing in 2020, with a 6.25% rate per year and interest paid on a half-yearly basis. These funds will be used to settle financial obligations of the company in 2011.

In February 2011, the company signed an agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency – JICA for an additional financing of the Onda Limpa Program, in the amount of approximately US$ 190.0 million. The funds will be used in construction works and provision of services in the Baixada Santista Metropolitan Region. The financing matures in 18 years, with interest rate ranging between 1.8% and 2.5% per year.

Sabesp is still negotiating financing facilities with JICA for the Program for the Reduction of Water Loss. The program includes an estimated US$ 572.0 million for investments, of which US$366.0 million from financing and US$ 206.0 million as counterpart. Given the current phase of the negotiation, it is not possible to estimate when the financing will be contracted.
