QUARTERLY RESULTS

NET SALES

In the third quarter of 2007, GCS sales totaled $5,821.95 million, an increase of 0.33%.

Our divisions of Government Pharma and Health, Beauty, Consumer Goods, General Merchandise and Others grew by 7.15% and 2.98%, respectively, versus the third quarter of 2006. The growth in Health, Beauty, Consumer Goods, General Merchandise and Others division was due to greater volume sales, which offset a lower average unit price. In the case of the Government Pharma division, the increase in sales reflects a higher participation in bidding processes during the quarter.

Publications sales declined 1.53% due to lower prices, despite the fact that the number of items sold increased 10.10%. Sales in the Private Pharma division decreased marginally,
