5.1. Payroll and benefits

In 1Q12 payroll and benefits dropped R$ 150.2 million or 27.0%, from R$ 556.5 million to R$ 406.3 million, due to the following:

· Complementation of the actuarial liability totaling R$ 157.5 million, referring to the actuarial calculation made in 1Q11 related to G0 Plan; non-recurring for the next quarters; and

Page 3 of 11

$$/page=

· Drop of R$ 13.6 million referring to actuarial liability of the G0 Plan. Since April of 2011, these expenses have been recognized net of the payment of the undisputed party (benefits of Law 4819/58).

The above mentioned decreases were offset by the 8% increase in wages since May 2011, with an impact of approximately R$ 23.6 million.

5.2. Supplies

In 1Q12, expenses with supplies increased by R$ 3.3 million or 8.9%, when compared to the same period of the previous year, from R$ 37.2 million to R$ 40.5 million. The main factors for this variation were: (i) expenses with water and sewage systems maintenance, in the amount of R$ 0.9 million; (ii) expenses with water and sewage connections, in the amount of R$ 0.7 million, due to the increase and regulation in the execution of the Global Sourcing; (iii) data processing materials for new water meter reading and bill issuing equipment in the metropolitan region in the amount of R$0.4 million; and (iv) maintenance of equipment installed in the strategic maintenance unit in the amount of R$0.6 million.

5.3. Treatment supplies

Treatment supplies expenses in 1Q12 were R$ 1.0 million or 2.3% lower than in 1Q11, from R$ 45.6 million to R$ 44.6 million.

5.4. Services

In 1Q12 this item increased R$ 33.6 million or 14.5%, from R$ 231.4 million to R$ 265.0 million. The main factors were:

· Paving services and replacement of sidewalks and water and sewage network maintenance in the amount of R$ 14.1 million, due to the intensification of the actions against water losses;
· Advertising campaigns focused on social and environmental initiatives broadcast on the radio and TV such as Planeta Sustentável and Projeto Verão, totaling R$ 9.1 million;
· Increase of R$7.5 million related to the fleet renewal program, though leasing; and

5.5. Electric power

In 1Q12, this item increased R$ 9.0 million, or 6.4%, from R$ 141.3 million to R$ 150.3 million, associated to the increase in the average tariff, and the increase in consumption due to the increase of operational stations.

5.6. General expenses

In 1Q12 general expenses increased R$ 40.3 million or 31.6%, from R$ 127.5 million to R$ 167.8 million, due to:

·

5.7. Depreciation and amortization

This item decreased R$ 41.6 million or 18.2%, from R$ 228.1 million to R$ 186.5 million, due to the amortization term adjustment between the asset s useful life and the contract effectiveness, whichever is the shortest one, and the increased transfer of works in progress to operation in 2011. The main adjustment refers to the amortization of intangible assets related to the Service Agreement with the municipal government of São Paulo, non recurring for the coming quarters.

5.8. Credit write-offs

In 1Q12 credit write-offs increased R$ 5.7 million or 17.2%, from R$ 33.1 million to R$ 38.8 million, mainly due to higher provisions of debits related to public entities.

5.9. Tax expenses

In 1Q12 tax expenses grew R$ 7.6 million or 27.7%, due to the payment of the Municipal Real Estate Tax IPTU, mainly in the municipality of São Paulo, in the amount of R$ 5.7 million.

6. Other operating revenues and expenses

6.1. Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues increased R$ 6.1 million or 105.2% in 1Q12, chiefly due to the recognition, on an accrual basis, of part of the funds received from the São Paulo state government for adhesion to the agreement of Alienation of Exclusivity Rights for deposits of Sabesp’s employees' payments from March 2007 to March 2014 with Nossa Caixa and Banco do Brasil and revenue from contractual fines with suppliers.

7.1. Financial expenses

In 1Q12 financial expenses dropped R$ 6.0 million, or 3.4%. The main factors that influenced this result were:

· Decrease in interest by R$ 37.9 million on domestic loans and financing, mainly due to the amortization of the 8 th and 9 th debenture in June and October 2011, respectively; and
· Higher financial expenses arising from higher incidence of interest related to lawsuits against suppliers in the amount of R$23.7 million.

7.2. Financial revenues

Financial revenues decreased by R$ 3.0 million, due to the gradual reduction of the market interest rates obtained in financial investments.

The effect on the monetary variation on liabilities in 1Q12 was R$ 93.4 million lower than in 1Q11, due to:

· Decline of R$11.3 million resulting from the 0.62% variation in the IGPM (the debentures index ) in 1Q12, versus a 2.43% variation in 1Q11;
