Estimated disbursements relating to construction works already contracted are estimated to be approximately R$ 957,000 for fiscal years from 2006 to 2011 (unaudited).
(d) Expropriations
Development of major water and sewage systems frequently requires the expropriation or establishment of rights of way through third-party properties. The owners of these properties are generally compensated either through negotiated settlements or judicial arbitration in conformity with applicable legislation.
Disbursements to be effected as from fiscal year 2006 are estimated to be approximately R$ 279,621 (unaudited), which will be paid out of Company funds. The related assets acquired as a result of these negotiations are recorded as property, plant and equipment when the expropriation is complete. The total amount of property, plant and equipment referring to expropriations in 2005 was R$ 11,472 (R$ 5,423 in 2004).
(e) Assets in guarantee
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had assets in the amount of R$ 249,034 provided as guarantee under the Special Tax Debt Refinancing Program - PAES (Note 11).
(f) Non-operating assets
The Company had R$ 31,832 at December 31, 2005 (2004 - R$ 31,903) referring to other nonoperating assets, comprised primarily of land surrounding reservoirs.
(g) Revaluation
Property, plant and equipment items were revaluated in 1990 and 1991 and have been depreciated at annual rates which take into consideration the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the assets as determined in the respective valuation reports that, as a rule, fall within the ranges of the above presented rates.
As permitted by CVM Instruction 197/93, the Company did not record a provision for the tax effects (deferred taxes) on the surplus of the revaluation of property, plant and equipment carried out in 1990 and 1991. Had the income tax and social contribution on the revaluation reserve been accounted for, the unrealized amount at December 31, 2005 would be R$ 461,068 (2004 - R$ 491,475). In the years ended on December 31, 2005 and 2004, the realized revaluation reserve amounts were R$ 89,449 and R$ 104,500.
(h) Totally depreciated assets
On December 31, 2005 the gross accounting value of the totally depreciated assets which are still in use is R$ 336,086 (2004 – R$ 307,078).

(ii) Fixed Assets in operation
The fixed assets in operation represent the assets involved in the service providing of supply of water and collection of sewage in 352 municipalities. In the other municipalities, which were negotiated by financial economic appraisal, described in the item above, SABESP holds the possession of the assets. In the case of Sao Bernardo do Campo, the negotiation occurred in December, 2003 was based on a financial economic appraisal that arrived at the amount of R$ 415,471 and there was the transfer of services, as well as the ownership of the assets. In December, 2004 the property evaluation of the assets has been completed for the Municipality. The amount arrived at of R$ 175,858 was reclassified in December 31, 2004 from “intangible assets” to “operating assets”.
The concession contracts foresee that the assets shall be transferred to the conceding power at the end of the term.
In 2005, 17 (seventeen) concession contracts expired, being that 8 (eight) were extended for a period from 3 (three) months to 1 (one) year and 9 (nine) are under negotiation. The net accounting value of the fixed assets in the Municipalities where the concessions are under negotiation (2005) or that will expire in 2006, amount to R$ 1.57 billion.
