2. Basis for preparation (Continued)

The quarterly financial information of the parent company and consolidated were prepared based on the historical cost, except for the derivative financial instruments, which were measured by fair value.

The consolidated quarterly financial information has been presented in Brazilian Reais.

The items included in the quarterly financial information of the parent company and each one of the Company’s subsidiaries were measured by adopting the currency of the main economic scenario where the subsidiary operates (“functional currency”). The quarterly financial information of the parent company and consolidated has been presented in reais, which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The quarterly financial information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 were approved by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2011.

The consolidated quarterly financial information was prepared and has been presented according to the technical pronouncement CPC 21 Interim Financial Statements and pursuant to the international standard IAS 34, observing the provisions contained in the Official Circular Letter – CVM/SNC/SEP 003/2011 of April 28, 2011.

In the individual quarterly financial information, the investments in subsidiary are evaluated by the equity method, while for the purposes of international accounting standards issued by IASB, these would be evaluated by cost or fair value.

However, there are no differences between shareholders’ equity and consolidated result reported by the Company, shareholders’ equity and results of controlling entity in its individual quarterly financial information.

3. Basis for consolidation

a) Subsidiaries

The consolidated interim financial statements include the interim financial statements of all subsidiaries over which the parent company exercises control either directly or indirectly.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies and generally holds shares of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The interim financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared on the same closing date as those of the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intragroup balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

Gains or losses resulting from changes in equity interest in subsidiaries, not resulting in loss of control are directly recorded in shareholders’ equity.

Losses are attributed to the non-controlling interest, even if it results in a deficit balance.

The primary direct or indirect subsidiaries, included in the consolidation and the percentage of the company’s interest comprise:

Novasoc

Although the Company’s interest in Novasoc Comercial Ltda. ("Novasoc") represents 10% of its shares, Novasoc is included in the consolidated interim financial statements as the Company controls 99.98% of the entity’s voting rights, pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement. Moreover, under the Bylaws of Novasoc, the appropriation of its net income does not need to be proportional to the shares of interest held in the company.

The consolidation is justified by the fact that most of the risks and benefits related to the fund are linked to subordinated shares owned by the Company and its subsidiaries.

Globex

b) Associates – BINV and FIC

The Company’s investments in its associates (FIC – Financeira Itaú CBD and BINV –Banco Investcred, both are the entities that finance sales directly to GPA customers, and are result of an association between Banco Itaú Unibanco with GPA and Globex) are accounted for using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence, but not the control.

Prevailing decisions related to the operational and financial management of FIC and BINV lies with Banco Itaú – Unibanco S.A. (Itaú-Unibanco). Therefore, the Company poses material influence on its investments and recognized them by the equity accounting method.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the statement also reflecting changes in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate following the acquisition. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment.

The income statement reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the shareholders’ equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The share of profit of associates is shown on the face of the income statement as equity pickup results, corresponding to the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate and therefore is profit after tax and non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associates. The interim financial statements of the associates are prepared for the same closing date as the parent company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

3. Basis for consolidation - Continued

b) Associates – BINV and FIC (continued)

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an additional loss due to non-recoverability on the Company’s investment in its associates. The Company determines at each balance date whether there is any evidence that the investment in the associate will not be recoverable. If applicable, the Company calculates the impairment amount as the difference between the investment recoverable value of the associate and its carrying amount and recognizes the loss in the income statement.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any remaining investment at its cost. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the remaining investment and proceeds from write-off are recognized in the income for the period.

c) Participation in joint venture – Bartira

The Company maintains a joint venture with a jointly-owned subsidiary named Indústria de Móveis Bartira Ltda. (“Bartira”), in which the participants (GPA through Nova Casa Bahia S.A. (“NCB”), with 25% and Klein family with 75%) have an agreement setting forth the joint control over the entity’s economic activities.

The agreement requires the unanimous resolution of participants in the financial and operational decision-making process. The Company recognizes its interest in the joint venture using the proportional consolidation method. In addition, it combines the proportional amount of each asset, liabilities, income and expenses of joint venture with similar items– line by line – in its consolidated interim financial statements. The joint venture interim financial statements are prepared for the same period adopted by the Company. Adjustments are made when necessary in order to be in line with the accounting practices.

4. Main accounting practices

a) Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognized as of the date on which the Company enters into the contract. When recognized, these are recorded at their fair value plus the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance. Their subsequent measurement occurs every balance sheet date according to the rules established for each type of financial asset and liability.

(i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets within the scope of CPC 38 (IAS 39) are classified as financial assets measured at their fair value through income statement, loan receivables, held to maturity investments or as derivatives designated as hedge instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value, and in the case of investments not at fair value through income statement, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (negotiations under regular conditions) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

The Company’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, related party receivables and judicial deposits. The Company does not have any available-for-sale investments as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Subsequent measurement

Assets are classified among categories mentioned below, according to the purpose to which they were acquired or issued:

Financial assets measured at fair value through income statement: these financial assets are measured at their fair value at each balance sheet date. Interest rates, monetary restatement, exchange variation and variations deriving from the valuation at fair value are recognized in the income statement when incurred as financial revenues or expenses. These financial assets are classified as available-for-sale if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedge instruments, as defined by CPC 38 (IAS 39).
Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified in this group, unless they are designated as effective hedge instruments. Financial assets measured by fair value through income statement are recorded at fair value with changes recognized in financial income or financial expense. The Company has not designated any financial assets upon initial recognition as at fair value through income statement other than derivatives and cash and cash equivalents.
Loans granted and receivables: these are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After the initial recognition, these are measured using amortized cost through the effective interest rate method. Interest income, monetary restatement, exchange variation, less impairment losses, where applicable, are recognized in the income statement when incurred as financial income or expenses.

(i) Financial assets (continued) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations retained by the Company.

(i) Financial assets (continued)

Derecognition of financial assets (continued)

On the balance sheets dates, the Company verifies if there is any sign of impairment of an asset or group of financial assets. The impairment of an asset or group of financial assets is only considered if there are objective pieces of evidence resulting from one or more events occurred after the asset initial recognition (“loss event”), and if said event affects the estimated future cash flows of asset or group of financial assets, which can be safely estimated. The evidence of impairment may include signs that debtors (or group of debtors) are going through relevant financial constraints, moratorium or default in the amortization of interest or principal, probability of filing for bankruptcy or another type of financial reorganization and when these data point a measurable drop in future cash flows, such as, default interest variations or economic conditions related to defaults.

Held-to-maturity financial assets

Referring to the held-to-maturity financial assets, the Company firstly verifies if there is objective evidence of impairment individually for the financial assets which are individually relevant or collectively for the assets, which individually, are not relevant. If the Company determines the non-existence of objective evidence of impairment of a financial asset evaluated on an individual basis, whether or not this loss is material, the Company classifies it into a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, which are evaluated collectively. The assets evaluated on an individual basis as to impairment or to which the impairment is (or still is) recognized are not included in the loss collective evaluation.

In the event of objective evidence of impairment, the corresponding loss amount is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of assets and the present value of estimated cash flows (excluding estimated credit losses and not incurred yet). The present value of estimated cash flows is discounted at the financial assets original interest rate. If a financial asset bears variable interest rates, the discount to measure eventual impairment will be the interest rate effective at the present date.

Held-to-maturity financial assets (continued)

The asset’s carrying amount of the asset is reduced through an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in the income statement. The financial revenue is still accumulated over the carrying amount less the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows in order to measure the impairment. In addition, the interest income is recorded as part of the financial result in the income statement. Loans and receivables, together with respective provisions, are written off when there is no real prospect of future recovery and all guarantees have been realized or transferred to the Company.

If in the subsequent year, the amount of estimated loss of recoverable value suffers any variation due to an event occurred after its recognition, an adjustment is made in the allowance account. If a future write-off is later recovered, it is credited to financial expenses in the income statement.

Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or that may be calculated, without quote on the active market. After initial measurement, these financial assets are subsequently measured at the amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method (“TEJ”), less impairment. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account eventual discounts or premiums over the acquisition and tariffs or costs composing the TEJ. The TEJ amortization is included in the net financial result under the income statement. Impairment expenses are recognized in the income statement under financial expenses.

The Company securitizes its accounts receivable with special purpose entities, the PAFIDC and Globex FIDC. (See Note 10).

Accounts receivable deriving from business agreements are related to bonus and rebates granted by vendors, contractually established and calculated over purchase volumes, marketing actions, freight cost reimbursements, etc.

Non-derivative financial assets with fixed payments or determinable and fixed maturities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the intention and the capacity to hold them to maturity. After initial measurement, the held-to-maturity investments are measured and amortized at cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. The amortized cost is calculated including any discount or premium on the acquisition and rates or costs composing the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortization is included in the financial result under the income statement. The impairment losses are recognized in the income statement under financial costs.

(ii) Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities under the scope of CPC 38 (IAS 39) are classified as financial liabilities measured by fair value through the income statement, loans or borrowing or derivatives designated as hedge instruments in an effective hedge, where applicable. The Company defines the classifications of its financial liabilities upon initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, and in the case of loans and borrowing, plus directly attributable transaction costs.

The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft accounts, loans and borrowings, debentures and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement depends on the classification of liabilities as follows:

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through income statement: these include financial liabilities that are usually traded before maturity, liabilities designated in their initial recognition at fair value through income and derivatives, except for those designated as hedge instruments. These are measured by their fair value at each balance sheet date. Interest expense, monetary restatement, exchange variation and variations deriving from fair value valuation, where applicable, are recognized in the statement of income when incurred.
Loans and borrowings: After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the effective interest rate method amortization process.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income.

Put options granted to minority shareholders

The classification of equity instruments issued by the Company in equity or debt depends on each instrument’s specific characteristics. An instrument is deemed to be an equity instrument when the following two conditions are met: (i) the instrument does not contain a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity, or to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavorable to the entity; and (ii) in the case of a contract that will or may be settled in the Company’s own debt instruments, it is either a non-derivative that does not include a contractual obligation to deliver a variable number of the Company’s own equity instruments, or a derivative that should be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Accordingly, instruments that are redeemable at the Company’s discretion and for which the remuneration depends on the payment of a dividend are classified in shareholders’ equity.

When the Company has a present ownership interest in the shares subject to an option agreement, no non-controlling interest is recorded and the shares subject to the instrument are accounted for as own shares. The Company’s policy is to treat any liability associated with the instrument as a liability under CPC 15 (IFRS 3) with changes recognized as contingent consideration against goodwill. Changes to the liability related to the passage of time such as the unwinding of a discount rate or monetary restatement are recognized as finance expense.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and stated net in the quarterly financial information only if there is a legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details as to how they are measured are provided in Note 18.

Reclassification of debt and equity instruments

In order to reclassify debt and equity instrument, the Company shall record them as follows:

an equity instrument (shareholders’ equity) shall be reclassified as debt instrument (financial liability) as of the date the instrument no longer shows all its characteristics and conditions necessary to support its recognition. The financial liability shall be measured by fair value of instrument on the reclassification date. The Company shall recognize in shareholders’ equity any difference between the carrying amount of equity instrument and the fair value of financial liability on the reclassification date;
a debt instrument shall be reclassified as equity instrument (shareholders’ equity) as of the date it shows all the characteristics and meets all the conditions related to its recognition, as set forth by CPC 39 (IAS 32). The equity instrument shall be measured by carrying amount of debt instrument on the reclassification date.

Hedge accounting

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as, interest rate swaps and exchange variation. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives are taken directly to income statement.

For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Company wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine if they actually have been highly effective throughout the periods for which they were designated.

Hedge accounting (continued)

Hedges which meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as fair value hedges, observing the following procedures:

The change in the fair value of an interest rate hedging derivative is recognized as financial result. The change in the fair value of the hedged item is recorded as a part of the carrying amount of the hedged item and is also recognized in the income statement.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, the adjustment to carrying amount is amortized in the income statement over the remaining term to maturity. Effective interest rate amortization may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and shall begin no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged.
If the hedge item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

In accordance with CPC 3 (IAS 7), cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, investments that are short-term, highly liquid, readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value with an original maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included within current liabilities in the quarterly financial information.

c) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories purchased is recorded at average cost, including warehouse and handling costs, to the extent these costs are necessary so that make inventories available for sale in the Company’s stores.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories are also reduced by an allowance for losses and breakage, which are periodically reviewed and evaluated as to it is adequacy.

d) Present value adjustment of assets and liabilities

Noncurrent monetary assets and liabilities and current assets and liabilities, when relevant, are adjusted to their present value. The present value adjustment is calculated taking into account contractual cash flows and the respective explicit or implied interest rates.

Embedded interest rates on revenues, expenses and costs associated with said assets and liabilities are adjusted to the appropriate recognition in conformity with the accrual basis of accounting. The present value adjustment is recorded in those items, subject to the application of rule and “financial result” as corresponding entry. The discount rate used is the same of the asset impairment test.

e) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators exist, or when there is the annual impairment testing for an asset, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the highest between an asset’s or the value in use of its cash-generating unit’s (CGU) fair value; the recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the recoverable amount, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. When determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each balance date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, or the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in previous periods. Such reversal is recognized in the income for the period.

e) Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)

The following criteria are also applied when assessing impairment of specific assets:

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually (as of December 31) or when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired.

Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. Recoverable amount is the higher of a CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

Intangible assets

The intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but tested annually in relation to impairment losses, individually or at the level of the CGU. The evaluation of indefinite useful life is reviewed annually in order to determine if this evaluation is still justifiable. Otherwise, the change in the indefinite useful life to definite useful life occurs prospectively.

Gains and losses resulting from the write-off of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net amount obtained from the sale and the asset's carrying amount and recognized in the income statement upon the asset write-off.

f) Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such amount includes the cost of replacing a component of the equipment and borrowing costs for long term construction projects if the recognition criteria are met. When significant components of property and equipment are replaced, the Company recognizes such components as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation. Likewise, when a major replacement is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.


	Annual depreciation	Annual depreciation
	rate % – before	rate % – after
Asset category	January 1, 2010	January 1, 2010

Buildings	3.3	2.5
Improvements	6.7	4.2
Data processing equipment	10.0 to 33.0	10.0 to 50.0
Installations	20.0 to 25.0	4.2 to 10.0
Furniture and fixtures	10.0	8.3 to 33.3
Machinery and equipment	10.0	2.8 to 50.0
Vehicles	20.0	20

Items of property and equipment and any significant part are derecognized when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the assets (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is written-off.

f) Property and equipment (continued)

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

g) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized software development costs, are not capitalized and the expenditure is reflected in the income statement when incurred.

Intangible assets consist mainly of purchased software, software developed for internal use and commercial rights (stores’ right to use), list of customers, call option of Bartira’s controlling shareholders, profitable lease agreements, profitable supply agreements of furniture and banners.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method. Assets with definite useful lives represented by profitable lease agreement and profitable supply agreement of furniture are amortized according to the economic benefits raised by agreements and tested for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and method is reviewed at least at each end of period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense on intangible assets with definite useful lives is recognized in the income statement in the corresponding category consistent with the function of the intangible asset.

Software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Software is amortized over five years.

g) Intangible assets (continued)

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at each year-end or whenever there is an indication that their carrying amount cannot be recovered, either individually or at the cash generating unit level. The assessment is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life continues to be valid. If not, the change in useful life from the indefinite to definite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the income statement when the asset is recognized.

h) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current

Assets (excluding deferred income and social contribution tax assets) that are expected to be realized in or are intended for sale or consumption within twelve months after the balance sheet date, are classified as current assets. Liabilities (excluding deferred income and social contribution tax liabilities) that are expected to be settled within twelve months as of the balance sheet date are classified as current. All others assets and liabilities (including deferred taxes) are classified as “noncurrent”.

All deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets or liabilities.

i) Leasing

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, leasing is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date: whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use an asset.

i) Leasing (continued)

Company as a lessee

Financial lease agreements, which transfer to the Company substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the commencement of the agreement at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between finance charges and reduction of liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognized in the income statement.

Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the agreement term, the asset is depreciated over the shortest of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.

Lease agreements are classified as operating leasing when there is no transfer of risk and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item.

The installment payments of leasing (excluding costs of services, such as insurance and maintenance) classified as operating lease agreements are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease term.

Company as a lessor

Lease agreements where the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the agreement term on the same bases as rental income.

Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

j) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or not formalized) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement, net of any reimbursement.

k) Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the interim financial statements at the end of period, based on the minimum mandatory dividends established by the statutory law. Any amount above of that amount is only recorded at the date on which such incremental dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.

l) Pension plan

The pension plan is funded through payments to insurance companies, which are classified as defined contribution plans according to CPC 33 (IAS 19). A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and previous periods.

m) Shareholders’ equity

Common and preference shares are classified as shareholders’ equity.

When any related party purchases the Company’s equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from capital of Company’s shareholders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs, is included in capital to the Company’s shareholders. No gain or loss is recognized on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration is recognized in other capital reserves.

n) Share-based payment

Employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

In situations where equity instruments are issued and some or all of the goods or services received by the Company as consideration cannot be specifically identified, the unidentified goods or services received (or to be received) are measured as the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment transaction and the fair value of any identifiable goods or services received at the grant date. This is then capitalized or expensed as appropriate.

Equity-settled transactions

When any related party buys the Company’s shares (treasury shares, consideration paid, including any directly attributable cost is deducted from shareholders’ equity until shares are cancelled or issued again. When these shares are subsequently issued again, any consideration paid, net of attributable transaction costs are included in shareholders’ equity. There is no gain or loss recognized in the acquisition or sale in the issue or cancellation of equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid is recorded as capital reserve.

n) Share-based payment (continued)

Equity-settled transactions (continued)

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in shareholders’ equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The cumulative expense recognized for equity instruments at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments to be acquired.

The expense or income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognized for services that do not complete its acquisition period, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where an equity instrument is modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity instrument is cancelled, it is treated as if it totally vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognized for the premium is recognized immediately. This includes any premium where non-vesting conditions within the control of either the Company or the employee are not met. However, if the cancelled plan is replaced by another plan and designated as a replacement grants on the date that it is granted, the cancelled grant and new plan are treated as if they were a modification of the original premium, as described in the previous paragraph. All cancellations of equity-settled transaction are treated equally.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share (See Note 29).

o) Customer loyalty programs

These are used by entities in order provide incentives to its customers on the sale of products or services. If customer buys products or services, the Company grants credits thereto. Customer may redeem the credits free of charge or discounting from the amount of products or services.

The Company estimates the fair value of points granted according to the “Programa Mais” loyalty plan, applying statistical techniques, considering the maturity of plans defined in the regulation.

p) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares issued in payment of dividends and treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by the treasury stock method, as follows:

- numerator: earnings for the period;
- denominator: the number of shares is adjusted to include potential shares corresponding to dilutive instruments (stock options ), less the number of shares that could be bought back at market, if applicable.

Equity instruments that will or may be settled in Company’s shares are included in the calculation only when their settlement would have a dilutive impact on earnings per share.

q) Determination of net income

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, and sales taxes or duty. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Company has concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements, except for those referring to extended warranty. Specifically in these cases, the Company operates as an agent, and revenue is recognized in a net basis, which reflects the commission received by insurance companies. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

(i) Revenue

a) Sales of goods

Revenues are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and service. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when their value can be measured reliably, all risks and benefits inherent to the product are transferred to the buyer, the Company no longer has the control or responsibility over the goods sold and the economic benefits generated to the Company are probable. Revenues are not recognized if their realization is uncertain.

b) Interest income

For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Interest income is included in the financial result under the income statement.

(ii) Gross profit

Gross profit corresponds to the difference between net sales and the cost of goods sold. The cost of goods sold comprises the cost of purchases net of discounts and bonuses received from vendors, changes in inventory and logistics costs.

Bonus received from vendors is measured based on contracts signed with vendors.

Cost of sales includes the cost of logistics operations managed or outsourced by the Company, comprising all warehousing, handling and freight costs incurred after goods are first received at one of the Company stores or warehouses. Transport costs are included in acquisition costs.

(iii) Selling expenses

Selling expenses consist of all store expenses, such as salaries, marketing, occupancy, maintenance, etc.

(iv) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses correspond to overheads and the cost of corporate units, including the purchasing and procurement, IT and finance functions.

(v) Other operating expenses, net

Other operating income and expense correspond to the effects of major events occurring during the period that do not meet the Company’s definition for the other income statement lines.

Finance income includes income generated by cash and cash equivalents and judicial deposits, gains related to the new measurement of derivatives at fair value, purchase discounts obtained from vendors, and revenues referring to discounts.

r) Taxation

Current income and social contribution taxes

Current income and social contribution tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the balance sheet dates.

The taxation on income comprises the Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and Social Contribution on Net Income (“CSLL”) and is calculated based on taxable income (adjusted income), at rates applicable according to the prevailing laws – 15% over taxable income and 10% surcharge over the amount exceeding R$ 240 in taxable income yearly for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL.

r) Taxation (continued)

Deferred income and social contribution taxes

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income and social contribution tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which to deduct the temporary differences and unused tax credits and losses except where the deferred income and social contribution tax assets relating to the deductible temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor tax profit or loss.

With respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred income and social contribution taxes are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income and social contribution tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income and social contribution taxes to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income and social contribution tax assets are reassessed at the balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow these assets to be recovered.

Deferred income and social contribution tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet dates.

r) Taxation (continued)

Deferred tax (continued)

Deferred taxes related to items directly recognized in shareholders’ equity are also recognized in shareholders’ equity and not in the income statement. Deferred tax items are recognized according to the operation that originated it, in the income for the period or directly in shareholders' equity.

Deferred income and social contribution tax assets and liabilities are reported net if there is a legal or contractual right to offset the tax assets against the tax liability and deferred taxes refer to the same taxed entity and submitted to the same tax authority.

Other taxes

Revenues from sales and services are subject to taxation by State Value-Added Tax (“ICMS”), Services Tax (“ISS”), Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for the Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”) at rates prevailing in each region and are presented as deductions from sales in the income for the period.

The amounts recoverable derived from non-cumulative ICMS, PIS and COFINS are deducted from cost of goods sold.

Taxes recoverable or prepaid taxes are shown in the current and noncurrent assets, in accordance with the estimated timing of their realization.

r) Taxation (continued)

Sales taxes

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of sales tax except:

Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the sales tax is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable;
Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included. The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

s) Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are recorded using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum between the consideration transferred, measured at fair value on the acquisition date and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired company. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquired company at fair value or through the proportional interest in acquired company’s identifiable net assets. The acquisition costs incurred are treated as expense and included in the administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses financial assets and liabilities to the appropriate classification and designation according to contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions on the acquisition date. This includes the separation of derivatives embedded in agreements by the acquired company.

Should the business combination occur in phases, the fair value on the acquisition date of interest previously held by acquirer in acquired company is adjusted to fair value on the acquisition date through income statement.

s) Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

Any contingent payment to be transferred by acquirer will be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in fair value of contingent payment considered as an asset or liability will be recognized under CPC 38 (IAS 39) through income statement or as change in other comprehensive income. If the contingent payment is classified as equity, it will not be adjusted until it is finally settled under shareholders’ equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost and the excess between payment transferred and the amount recognized for minority interest over identified net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this payment is lower than the fair value of net assets of acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognized in the income statement as gain due to profitable purchase.

After initial recognition, the goodwill is measured at cost, less eventual impairment losses. For the purposes of impairment test, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of the acquisition date, allocated to each one of the Company's cash generating units which shall reap the business combination benefits, regardless if other assets or liabilities of the acquired company will be assigned to these units.

In cases the goodwill composes a cash generating unit and part of the operation at this unit is sold, the goodwill related to the sold operation is included in the book amount of the operation when profit or loss earned with the sale of operation is calculated. This goodwill is then measured based on the sold operation-related amounts and part of the cash generating unit which was maintained.

5. Rules issued but not effective yet

There are no CPCs issued which are not effective yet, but there are IFRS issued to which there is no change in CPCs in force, but we expect the Brazilian standards will be in conformity with the international standards until the start date thereof. Below a summary of the main standards issued but not effective yet, as well as our expectations of their effects on the Company’s interim financial statements:

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement - IFRS 9 concludes the first part of the replacement project of “IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. IFRS 9 uses a simple approach to determine if a financial asset is measured at the amortized cost or fair value, based on the way how an entity administers its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow, which is a characteristic of the financial assets. The standard also requires the adoption of only one method to determinate asset impairment. This standard will be effective for the fiscal years starting as of January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect that this change will adversely affect its financial statements.

IASB issued clarifications on the IFRS rules and amendments applicable as of April 1, 2011.

Below, the main amendments:

IAS 12 – Income Tax;
IFRS 1 – First-Time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards
IFRS 7 – Disclosure of Financial Instruments;
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments - Measurement and Classification

The Company will evaluate the effects on the quarterly financial information due to the adoption of these pronouncements and interpretations and expects to not adversely affect its consolidated quarterly financial information.

There are no other rules or interpretations issued that have not been adopted yet that according to the Management’s opinion, may adversely affect the Company’s results or shareholders’ equity.

6. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, Management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the quarterly financial information:

a) Operating lease commitments – Company as lessor

The Company has entered into commercial property leases and determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and benefits of ownership of these properties and recorded them as operating lease.

b) Goodwill impairment

The Company tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any loss, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 4 and CPC 1 (IAS 36). The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on recoverable amount and market quotes calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates, which are disclosed in Note 15.

c) Income taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the nature and complexity of Company’s business, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to income tax and expense already recorded. The Company records provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for eventual consequences of audits by the tax authorities. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective company's domicile.

c) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred income and social contribution tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred income and social contribution tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the profit estimates and the level of future taxable profits, based on the business plan approved by the Board of Directors.

The Company has tax loss carry forwards amounting to a tax benefit of R$745,677 on March 31, 2011 (R$720,530 in 2010). These losses do not have limitation periods and relate to subsidiaries that have tax planning opportunities available to support a portion of these balances. The Company recorded a provision for impairment of these deferred tax assets in the amount of R$79,196 on March 31, 2011.

Further details on taxes are disclosed in Note 24.

d) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the interim financial statements cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded on organized markets is determined based on the market quotes, on the balance sheet dates, without any deduction for transaction costs. For financial instruments that are not actively traded, the fair value is based on valuation techniques defined by the Company and compatible with usual practices on the market. If there is no active market, then the market value is determined through valuation techniques. These techniques include the use of recent market arm’s length transactions, benchmark to the fair value of similar financial instruments, analysis of discounted cash flows or other valuation models.

d) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments (continued)

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be observed in active markets, these are determined by valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. These models inputs are collected from the market, where applicable, when these observations are not possible, judgment is required to determine the fair value. This judgment includes considerations on inputs, such as: liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in these factors assumptions may affect the financial instruments fair value.

e) Share-based payments

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the stock options, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 25.

a) Impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles

Goodwill and intangible assets are annually tested for impairment by the method described in Note 4 – “Significant Accounting Policies”.

Management made an estimate of recoverable amounts or values in use for all assets. The assumptions used are set out below.

As a result of the impairment tests carried out in 2010 and impairment indicators evaluation, the Company did not recognize impairment losses.

Impairment testing consists of determining the values in use of the cash generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGU to which the goodwill and intangible assets are allocated and comparing them with the carrying amounts of the related assets. Goodwill arising on the initial acquisition of companies is allocated to the groups of CGU in accordance with the classifications set out in Note 26 (Segment Information).

14. Intangible assets - Continued

a) Impairment testing of goodwill and intangibles

For internal valuation, impairment testing is carried out annually at the closing date and generally consists of determining the value in use of each CGU in accordance with the principles set out in Note 4. Value in use is determined by the discounted cash flows method, based on a pre-tax cash flow and using the following rates:


	Growth rate	Discount rate (i)
Cash flow	Between 3.9% and 4.9%	11.3%

(i) The discount rate is represented by the Company’s average cost of capital in current Reais (Capital Assets Pricing Model - CAPM)

The future cash flow assumptions and growth prospects are based on the Company’s annual budget and long-term business plans, approved by the Board of Directors, as well as comparable market data and they represent Management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that exist during the economic useful life of group of the assets that generate cash flows.

Key assumptions used in the impairment analysis are outlined below:

1. Revenues – projected based on the annual budget of the following year and the Company’s business plan comprising the period between 2011 to 2015;

2. Costs and operational expenses – projected based on the Company’s business plan.

3. Capital investments – capital investments were estimated considering the infrastructure required to support the growth set forth in the business plan.

Key assumptions were estimated considering the Company’s historical performance and based on reasonable macroeconomic assumptions and are compatible with external sources of information based on financial market projections, and are documented and approved by Company’s Management.

Acquisition of minority interest in Sendas Distribuidora

At January 5, 2007, Sendas S.A. notified the Company about the exercise of its right to swap its entire interest in Sendas Distribuidora with preferred shares of the Company. This share swap right would prevail if final decision on the arbitration proceeding filed by Sendas S.A at October 19, 2005 were unfavorable to Sendas S.A. The subject-matter of said arbitration proceeding was to recognize if the partnership between Diniz Group and Casino Group would represent a change of control, fact of which would enable to recognize the exercise of swap option of Sendas Distribuidora’s shares by Sendas S.A.

Acquisition of minority interest in Sendas Distribuidora (continued)

As at April 29, 2009, the Panel of Conciliation and Arbitration of FGV-RJ rendered an unfavorable decision to Sendas S.A., the swap of interest exercised at January 5, 2007 became legally valid, and as of this date, it is reasonable to define the swap option at the fair value.

As the fair value has been negotiated, under CPC 38 the Company’s interim financial statements as of January 1, 2009 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (including the full adoption of CPCs) reflected the exercise of swap option with Sendas S.A., estimated at R$128,096, by means of recognition of an equity instrument, determined by the number of preferred shares of CBD (3,566,000 shares) which would be delivered to Sendas S.A, using CBD’s preferred share price on the exercise date of swap option, i.e., January 5, 2007.

Within this context, the Company fully consolidated Sendas Distribuidora in the interim financial statements of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009, not recognizing the corresponding non-controlling interest.

16. Business combinations and acquisition of minority interest

a) Association with Nova Casa Bahia

Context of the partnership

At December 4, 2009, Casas Bahia Comercial Ltda. (“CB”) and GPA entered into a Partnership Agreement (“Partnership Agreement”) aiming at merging their retail trade of durable goods and electronic commerce of durable goods businesses.

At February 3, 2010 the parties signed a Provisional Agreement for the Maintenance of Operation Reversibility (“APRO”) with the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (“CADE”), which determined that the following actions to be taken: (i) maintenance of “Casas Bahia” and “Ponto Frio” brands, as well as separate advertising campaigns, ensuring investments in propaganda and marketing at levels compatible with previous fiscal years, except for the assumptions resulting from the economic scenario; (iii) the maintenance of stores existing in 146 cities where both “Casas Bahia” and “Ponto Frio” are located; (iii) maintenance of respective warehouses and the Bartira’s furniture plant; (iv) maintenance of respective loan policies; and (v) maintenance of separate procurement structures and their commercial contractual instruments, even though they may jointly operate in this segment. Except for these specific conditions, both Globex and NCB may adopt the measures necessary to merge their activities and capture the synergies resulting from this operation. This present operation is pending approval from CADE.

At July 1, 2010, NCB’s shareholders entered into an addendum to the Partnership Agreement, in which the parties reviewed certain conditions of the partnership, as well as defined the actions required for their implementation.

As a preliminary phase of this businesses merger, at October 1, 2010, the operating assets of CB were transferred to NCB through a partial spin-off. This transfer included an equity interest of 25% in Bartira (remainder 75% still under the possession of CB).

Thus, as of October 1, 2010, NCB now operates under the "Casas Bahia” brand, which operates in 11 Brazilian states and in the Federal District, represented by 526 stores and 8 warehouses, selling a wide range of electronic products, home appliances and devices, such as furniture, electronic toys, office supplies, mobile phones, computers and accessories.

a) Association with Nova Casa Bahia (continued)

Context of the partnership (continued)

At November 9, 2010, as a preparatory phase of the process to merge NCB’s shares into Globex, CDB centralized the retail trade of durable goods and the electronic commerce of durable goods in Globex.

Thus, the Company injected capital into its subsidiary Globex, used in this specific transaction as intervening party and of the consideration transferred to the acquisition, in the following amount: (i) net assets from the Company’s electronic products operations, established by the “Extra-Eletro” brand, in the amount of R$89,826; (ii) financial investments of R$290,143; and (iii) receivables between the Company’s subsidiaries, in the amount of R$375,550.

As a final phase of the process to merge the retail trade of durable goods, at November 9, 2010, all NCB’s shares were merged into the capital of Globex at the carrying amount, thus, as of that date, NCB became a wholly-owned subsidiary and CBD’s control was maintained. As a result of the share merger, GPA diluted its direct interest in Globex, now holding 52.41% of its capital stock, but maintaining the control of operating and financial decisions pertaining to Globex and its subsidiaries.

The share swap ratio was based on an economic valuation of NCB and Globex, at the reference date of June 30, 2010, duly supported by reports drafted by a specialized company.

Determination of the consideration transferred due to the takeover of NCB

With capital contributions established and as part of the merger process of NCB’s shares into the shareholders’ equity of Globex, GPA transferred approximately 47% of its entire investment in Globex to CB, which is determined as total consideration transferred for the takeover of NCB ("total consideration transferred").

Determination of the consideration transferred due to the takeover of NCB (continued)

Since Globex is a publicly held company, with its shares quoted and traded on the organized market (Bovespa) by independent purchasers and sellers and experts in electric/electronic products segment, for accounting purposes, the fair value of the consideration transferred was determined by the final price of Globex’s common share traded on Bovespa at November 9, 2010, as follows:


	12.31.2010
Number of common shares held by CBD, corresponding to a 98.77% interest	168,927,975

Non-controlling interest over assets received (v)	130,571
Value of total consideration transferred	1,055,159

(i)

According to the Partnership Agreement, Bartira will disproportionally distribute mandatory dividends to its shareholders, in order to ensure that CB receives a total of R$12 million as dividends in the next three years. This mandatory minimum dividend that Bartira shall pay to the Klein family, as a disproportional sharing was considered according to CPC 15 and IFRS 3R, as part of the total consideration transferred for takeover of NCB;

(ii)

Furniture supply agreement with Bartira: NCB has an exclusive supply agreement with Bartira. This agreement holds profitable conditions to NCB in the acquisition of furniture compared to the margins established in the sector. The amount was defined using information on comparable transactions in the market;

18. Financial instruments - Continued

The Company adopts risk control policies and procedures, as outlined below:

a) Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company

(i) Credit risk

Cash and cash equivalents: in order to minimize credit risk of these investments, the Company adopts policies restricting the marketable securities that may be allocated to a single financial institution, and take into consideration monetary limits and financial institution credit ratings, which are frequently updated (Note 7).
Receivables: the Company sells directly to individual customers through post-dated checks, in a very small portion of sales, 0.13% in the quarter ended March 31, 2011 (0.27% at March 31, 2010).
The Company also has counterparty risk related to the derivative instruments; such risk is mitigated by the Company’s policy of carrying out transactions with renowned financial institutions and credit card and/or tickets sales are mostly assigned to PAFIDC, the risk of which is related and limited to the amount of subordinated shares held by the Company (Note 10).

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company is subject to increased interest rate risk, due to the CDI related debts. Balances of marketable securities indexed by CDI, partially offset this effect.

(iii) Exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase the liabilities balances of foreign currency-denominated loans. Therefore, the Company enters into swap agreements to hedge against exchange variation deriving from foreign currency-denominated loans.

a) Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company (continued)

(iv) Derivative financial instruments

The Company’s derivatives contracted before December 31, 2008, are measured at fair value through income statement, including: (i) Swap agreements of foreign currency debts (U.S. dollars and Japanese yen), to convert from fixed interest rates and foreign currencies to Brazilian Reais and domestic variable interest rates (CDI). These agreements amounted to a notional amount of R$3,400,941 and R$2,760,149 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. These instruments are contracted with the same financing terms and the with same financial institution, within the limits approved by Management and (ii) The remaining swap agreements are primarily related to debentures and BNDES loans, exchanging variable domestic interest rates plus fixed interest rates with variable interest rates (CDI).

According to the Company’s treasury policy, swaps with caps are not allowed, as well as return clauses, double index, flexible options or any other types of options different from traditional swaps, for speculative purposes, rather than for hedging purposes.

The Company designates some of its swap agreements as fair value hedges. These agreements cover a portion of foreign currency debts (U.S. dollars), to convert from fixed interest rates and foreign currencies to Brazilian Reais and domestic variable interest rates (CDI). These agreements amounted to a notional amount of R$188,962 and R$115,209 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. These instruments are contracted with the same terms of the financing agreement, preferably with same financial institution and within the limits approved by Management.

(vi) Fair values of derivative financial instruments

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.

Fair values are calculated by projecting the future cash flows of operations, using the curves of BM&F Bovespa and discounting them to present value, using CDI market rates for swaps published by BM&F Bovespa.

Fair values of swaps –the exchange of the dollar and fixed coupon rate for the CDI projection was obtained by using exchange rates prevailing in the market on the balance sheet dates and rates projected by the market obtained from currency coupon curves. In order to determine the coupon of foreign currency indexed-positions, the straight line

b) Sensitivity analysis of derivative financial instruments

Below is a sensitivity analysis chart, for each type of market risk deemed as relevant by Management.

The Company assessed the most likely scenario, at each contract maturity date using the BM&F BOVESPA market projection for currency and interest rates. The reasonably possible scenario is used by the Company to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments. For scenarios II and III, the Company assumes a deterioration of 25% (scenario II) and 50% (scenario III – extreme situation scenario) of the market projection for currency and interest rates.

The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivatives and corresponding financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis chart below, for each of the scenarios mentioned:

(i) Fair value hedge (at maturity dates)

Sensitivity assumptions

The Company used projected future interest and U.S. dollar rates, obtained with BM&F on the maturity date of each agreement, considering an increment of 25% in scenario II and an increment of 50% for scenario III.

In order to calculate the net exposure, all derivatives were considered at fair value on respective maturity dates, as well as their related debts (hedged items) and other Company’s financial instruments.

The total net effect of scenarios mentioned above is primarily due to the Company’s exposure to CDI.

The Company has in its subsidiary Globex, at March 31, 2011, an amount of R$16,046 (US$9,857 thousand) related to cash balances in banks.

19. Provision for litigations - Continued

a) Taxes

Tax claims are indexed to the Central Bank Overnight Rate (“SELIC”), 9.98% at March 31, 2011 (9.37% at December 31, 2010), and are subject, when applicable, to fines. In all cases, both interest charges and fines, when applicable, have been computed and fully accrued with respect to unpaid amounts.

Tax claims are subject to monthly adjustment to the amount of provisions for litigations according to the index rates used by each tax jurisdiction. The monetary adjustment is required by laws for all tax amounts, including provision for litigations.

COFINS and PIS

With the non-cumulativeness treatment when calculating PIS and COFINS, the Company and its subsidiaries started calling into question the right to exclude the ICMS from the calculation basis of these two contributions.

Regarding the debt referring to the Cofins rate increase, the Company filed a lawsuit requesting to exclude the default charges in the consolidated debt from the federal installment payment, established by Law 11,941/08. Additionally, a Company’s subsidiary offset PIS and Cofins tax debits with IPI credits – inputs submitted to zero rate or tax exemption - acquired from third parties (transferred based on a final and unappealable court decision).The claims amounts of PIS and COFINS at March 31, 2011 is R$105,512 (R$104,468 at December 31, 2010).

Other

The Company and its subsidiaries have other tax claims, which after analysis of its legal counsels, were deemed as probable losses and accrued by the Company. These are: (i) tax assessment notices related to purchase, industrialization and sale of soybean and byproducts exports (PIS, COFINS and IRPJ); (ii) disagreement on the non-application of Accident Prevention Factor (FAP) for 2010; (iii) disagreement on the “Fundo de Combate à Pobreza” (State Government Fund Against Poverty), enacted by the Rio de Janeiro State government (transferred from other civil claims this year); and (iv) other less relevant issues. The amount recorded at March 31, 2011 is R$62,715 (R$55,519 at December 31, 2010).

a) Taxes (continued)

Other (continued)

In addition, the Company discusses in court the eligibility to not pay the contributions provided for by Supplementary Law 110/2001, referring to the FGTS (Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees) costs.

The accrued amount at March 31, 2011 is R$32,536 (R$31,088 at December 31, 2010), and a judicial deposit of R$9,668 was made (R$9,644 at December 31, 2010).

In view of the procedural progress of certain claims, the Company’s legal counsels changed the chances of loss from possible to probable, recognizing at March 31, 2011 the amount of R$181,772 (R$198,621at December 31, 2010).

This amount includes judicial and administrative litigations within federal and states scopes, as well as discussed in several states where the Company operates.

These contingencies derive from discussions related to the offset of outstanding balance, tax loss and evidence of credits validated by mergees’ legal process, as well as credits and/or administrative proceedings adopted by the Company questioned in relation to the appropriation of credits for tax replacement ICMS refund, vendors acquisitions deemed as unqualified with the state treasury department, return of goods at stores, error when applying tax rate, ancillary obligations by tax authorities.

Tax provisions for contingent liabilities were recorded in Globex subsidiary, which upon business combination are recorded, according to CPC 15 (IFRS 3) requirements. The Company re-evaluated Globex claims on the reference date of acquisition by CBD (July

6, 2009) and recognized at March 31, 2011 the amount of R$155,483 (R$159,244 at December 31, 2010) in tax contingent liabilities.

Main tax contingent liabilities recorded refer to R$70 million of administrative proceedings related to the offset of PIS contribution, under the protection of Decrees 2445/88 and 2449/88, generated in view of credits deriving from legal proceedings and R$51 million referring to the offset of tax debts with contribution credits incurring on coffee exports.

b) Labor

The Company is party to numerous lawsuits involving disputes with its employees, primarily arising from layoffs in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a provision of R$106,814 (R$88,078 at December 31, 2010) referring to lawsuits whose risk of loss was considered probable; the Company also has lawsuits with risk of loss estimated as possible in the amount of R$84,601 (R$92,730 at December 31, 2010). Management, assisted by its legal counsels, evaluates these contingencies and provides for losses where reasonably estimable, bearing in mind previous experiences in relation to the amounts sought. Labor claims are indexed to the Referential Interest Rate (“TR”) (0.86% accumulated in the period ended March 31, 2011 and 0.69% in 2010) accrued of 1% monthly interest. The balance of the net provision for restricted judicial deposits is R$22,765 (R$6,809 at December 31, 2010).

Labor provisions were recorded in Globex subsidiary referring to contingent liabilities recognized upon business combination amounting to R$18,481 (R$20,765 at December 31, 2010).

c) Civil and other

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

Among these lawsuits, we point out the following:

The Company files and answers various lawsuits in which it requests the review of lease amounts paid by the stores. In these lawsuits, the judge determines a provisional lease amount, which then is paid by the stores, until report and decision define the final lease amount. The set up provision of difference between the amount originally paid by the stores and that defined provisionally in these lawsuits. In other lawsuits, the Company recorded a provision for the difference between the amount paid as provisional rental and that one pleaded by adversary party, based on technical assistant’s report of the adversary party. At March 31, 2011, the accrual amount for these lawsuits is R$33,658 (R$33,349 at December 31, 2010), for which there are no judicial deposits.

The Stock Option Plans are managed by an internal committee designated by the Board of Directors.

The granting price for each share is, at least, 60% of the weighted average price of the preferred shares traded in the week the option is granted.

The number of shares may vary for each beneficiary or series. The vesting right to exercise the option may occur as follows and according to the following terms: (i) 50% in the last month of third year subsequent to the granting date (1^sttranche) and ii) until 50% in the last month of fifth year subsequent to the granting date (2^ndtranche), and the remaining portion of the second tranche subject to restraint on alienation until the beneficiary’s retirement, as per formula defined in the regulation.

Shares subject to restraint on alienation (Q), upon the options exercise are calculated using the following formula:

Where: Q =	(Q1* Pm)- (Q1* Pe)
Where: Q =	Pm

Q1 = 50% of the Company total shares on the granting date.
Pm = Company share market price on the exercise date.

(ii) New stock option plan for preferred shares

Pursuant to the resolutions at the Special Shareholders’ Meeting, held at December 20, 2006, the amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan was approved, and originally approved by the Special Shareholders’ Meeting held at April 28, 1997.

As of 2007, the granting of stock options to the Management and employees will take place as follows:

Shares will be classified as follows: Silver and Gold, and the quantity of Gold-type shares may be decreased and/or increased (reducer or accelerator), at the discretion of the Plan management committee, in the course of 35 months following the granting date.

The price for the Silver-type share will correspond to the average of trading closing price of the Company preferred shares occurred over the last 20 trading sessions of BOVESPA, prior to the date on which the Committee resolves on the granting of option, with a 20% discount. The price for the Gold-type share will correspond to R$0.01 and the granting of these options are additional to the Silver options, and the granting or the exercise of Gold options is not possible separately.

26. Segment information

The Management divided the entities recently acquired into four segments, as follows.

	Retail – Includes the banners Pão de Açúcar, CompreBem, Extra, Sendas and explores the retail activity;
	Home Appliances – Includes the banner Ponto Frio, Casas Bahia;
	Cash & Carry – Includes the banner ASSAI;
	E-commerce includes the web sites www.pontofrio.com.br, www.extra.com.br and www.casasbahia.com.br

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with operating profit or loss in the consolidated quarterly financial information. GPA financing (including financial costs and financial income) and income taxes are managed on a segment basis.

The Company is engaged in operations of retail stores located in 20 states and the Federal District of Brazil. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker who has been identified as the chief executive officer.

The chief operating decision-maker allocates resources and assesses performance by reviewing results and other information related to four segments. These four segments are identified based on the decentralization of management of the businesses. These three segments include the Retail segment which is comprised of the Company’s legacy stores and fully integrated acquisitions operating principally under the trade names “Pão de Açúcar”, “Comprebem”, “Extra”, “Extra Perto”, “Extra Fácil”, and “Sendas”, the Cash & Carry segment which includes the Barcelona acquisition and operates under the trade name “Assai”, and the Home Appliances segment which includes the Globex and Casas Bahia acquisitions that operate under the trade names “Casas Bahia” and “Ponto Frio”. Operating segments have not been aggregated to form the reportable segments.

In 2010, the Company identified the e-commerce segment separate from the home appliances segment due to different strategy and business management, which includes the web sites pontofrio.com.br, extra.com.br and casasbahia.com.br.

30. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares issued in payment of dividends and treasury shares.

Equity instruments that will or may be settled in Company’s shares are included in the calculation only when their settlement has a dilutive impact on earnings per share.

In Brazil, preferred and common shares give different voting and liquidation rights.

Beginning in 2003, preferred shares are entitled to a dividend 10% greater than that distributed to the common shares. As such earnings may be capitalized or otherwise appropriated, there can be no assurance that preferred shareholders will receive the 10% premium referred to above, unless earnings are fully distributed, and, accordingly, earnings per share have been calculated for preferred shares.

The Company computes earnings per share by dividing the net income pertaining to each class of share by the weighted-average number of the respective class of shares outstanding during the period.

The Company granted a share-based compensation plan to its employees (Note 26), the dilutive effects of which are reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the "treasury stock" method.

Under the treasury stock method, earnings per share are calculated as if options were exercised at the beginning of the period, or at time of issuance, if later, and as if the funds received were used to purchase the Company's own stock.

When the stock option exercise price is greater than the average market price of the preferred shares, diluted earnings per share are not affected by the stock options.

The table below presents the determination of net income available to common and preferred shareholders and weighted average common and preferred shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the periods reported:

Reports and Statements / Special Review Report - Unqualified

REPORT ON QUARTERLY INFORMATION REVIEW

To the Management and Shareholders of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

São Paulo - SP

Introduction

We have audited the interim, individual and consolidated financial statements of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and subsiduaries, contained in the Quarterly Financial Information From – ITR for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which comprised the balance sheet and related income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the quarter then ended, including the explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with the Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim financial statement and consolidated interim financial statements according to CPC 21 and the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of this information consistently with the rules issued by Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to the preparation of the quarterly financial information – ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity). A review of the interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and accordingly does not allow us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual interim information

Based on our review, we are not aware of any facts that would lead us to believe that the individual interim financial information included in the aforementioned quarterly financial information are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information – ITR and are fairly presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, we are not aware of any facts that would lead us to believe that these statements are not fairly presented, in all their material respects, in relation to the individual and consolidated interim financial statements taken as a whole.
