Forward-Looking Statements

This Report on Economic and Financial Analysis contains forward-looking statements relating to our business, which are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends, which could affect our business. Words such as: “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “evaluates”, “predicts”, “foresees”, “projects”, “guidelines”, “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and which could be beyond our control. Furthermore, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions, which future events may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, projections and intentions expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.

Factors which could modify actual results include, among others, changes in regional, national and international commercial and economic conditions; inflation rates; increase in customer delinquency on the account of borrowers and any other delays in loan operations; increase in the allowance for loan losses; loss of funding capacity; loss of clientele or revenues; our capacity to sustain and improve performance; changes in interest rates which could, among others, adversely affect our margins; competition in the banking sector, in financial services, credit card services, insurance, asset management and other related sectors; government regulations and fiscal matters; disputes or adverse legal proceedings or ruling; as well as credit risks and other loan and investment activity risks.

Accordingly, the reader should not place excessive reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are valid only as at the date they are made. Except as required under applicable legislation, we assume no obligation whatsoever to update these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other motive.


Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Practices

We transcribe below the annual report filed with the SEC – “Risk Factors” and “Critical Accounting Practices” sections of Form 20-F, to assure Bradesco’s adhesion to best international practices for transparency and corporate governance, describing the risk factors and the critical accounting practices which we consider most significant and which could affect our daily business, the results of our operations or our financial position. We stress that Bradesco addresses the management of all risks inherent to its activities in a complete and integrated manner. This integrated approach facilitates the improvement of risk management models and avoids the existence of any gap that could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment of these risks.

Risks Relating to Brazil

1) Brazilian political and economic conditions may have direct impact on our business and on the market price of our stocks and ADSs

All of our operations and clients are mainly located in Brazil. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on Brazil’s economy, which in the past has been characterized by frequent intervention by the Brazilian government and volatile economic cycles. In addition, our financial condition and the market price of our stocks and ADSs may also be adversely affected by changes in policy involving exchange controls, tax and other matters, as well as factors such as: fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rate, inflation rates, and other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments within and outside of Brazil that affect the Country.

In the past, the Brazilian Government has often changed monetary, fiscal and taxation policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. We cannot predict what measures or policies the Brazilian government may take in response to the current or future situation of the Brazilian economy or how the Brazilian government intervention and government policies will affect the Brazilian economy and, both directly and indirectly, our operations and revenues.

2) If Brazil undergoes a period of high inflation in the future, our revenues and the market price of our stocks and ADSs may be reduced

In the last 15 years, Brazil has undergone extremely high inflation rates, with annual rates (IGP – DI from Getulio Vargas Foundation) reaching as high as 1,158% in 1992, 2,708% in 1993 and 1,093% in 1994. More recently, Brazil’s inflation rates were 7.7% in 2003, 12.1% in 2004 and 1.2% in 2005. Inflation and governmental measures to combat it have had in past years significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. In addition, public speculation about possible future actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian marketable securities markets. If Brazil suffers a period of high inflation in the future, our costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor’s confidence lags, the price of our stocks and ADSs may drop. Inflationary pressures may also curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and may lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.

3) Access to international capital markets for Brazilian companies is influenced by the perception of risk in emerging economies, which may harm our ability to finance our operations

Since the end of 1997, and in particular during the last four years, as a result of economic problems in various emerging market countries, including the economic crisis in Argentina, investors have had a heightened risk perception for investments in emerging markets. As a result, in some periods, Brazil has experienced a significant outflow of U.S. dollars and while Brazilian companies have borne higher costs to raise funds, both domestically and abroad, and have been impeded from accessing international capital markets. We cannot assure you that international capital markets will remain open to Brazilian companies or that prevailing interest rates in these markets will be advantageous for us.


4) Developments in other emerging markets may adversely affect in a negative manner the market price of our stocks and ADSs

The market price of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected in a negative manner by declines in the international financial markets and world economic conditions. Brazilian securities markets are influenced by the local economy and other emerging countries, especially those in Latin America, including Argentina, which is one of Brazil’s principal trading partners. Although economic conditions are different in each Country, investors’ reaction to developments in one Country may affect the securities markets and the securities of issuers in other countries, including Brazil. Since the fourth quarter of 1997, the international financial markets have experienced significant volatility, and a large number of market indices, including those in Brazil, have declined significantly.

Occasionally, developments in other countries have adversely affected the market price of our and other Brazilian companies’ stocks, as investors’ high risk perception due to crises in other emerging markets can lead to reduced levels of investment in Brazil and, in addition, may hurt our ability to finance our operations through the international capital markets. If the current economic situation in Argentina and Latin America deteriorates, or if similar developments occur in the international financial markets in the future, the market price of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Bradesco and the Brazilian Banking and Insurance Industries

1) The Brazilian government regulates the operations of Brazilian banks and insurance companies, and changes in prevailing laws and regulations or the imposition of new ones may negatively affect our operations and results

Brazilian banks and insurance companies are subject to extensive and continuous regulatory review by the Brazilian Government. We have no control over government regulations, which govern all facets of our operations, including the imposition of minimum capital requirements, compulsory deposits, lending limits and other loan restrictions.

The regulatory structure governing Brazilian banks and insurance companies is continuously evolving. Existing laws and regulations could be amended. The manner in which laws and regulations are enforced or interpreted could change, and new laws or regulations could be adopted. Such changes could materially adversely affect our operations and our results.

Regulatory changes affecting other businesses in which we are engaged, including our broker dealer, consortium and leasing operations, could also have an adverse effect on our operations and our results.

2) The increasingly competitive environment in the Brazilian bank and insurance industries may negatively affect our business prospects

We face significant competition in all of our principal areas of operation from other large Brazilian banks and insurance companies, public and private. Brazilian regulations raise limited barriers to market entry and do not differentiate between local or foreign commercial and investment banks and insurance companies. As a result, the growing presence of foreign banks and insurance companies in Brazil, some of which have greater resources than we do, has grown the competition both in the banking and insurance sectors. The privatization of publicly-owned banks has also made the Brazilian markets for banking and other financial services more competitive.

The increased competition may negatively affect our business results and prospects by, among other things, limiting our ability to increase our customer base and expand our operations, reducing our profit margins on the banking, insurance, leasing services and other products we offer; and increasing competition for foreign investment opportunities.

Furthermore, additional publicly-owned banks and insurance companies may be privatized in the future. The acquisition of a bank or insurance company in a privatization process by one of our competitors would generally add to the acquirers’ market share, and as a result we may face increased competition from the acquirer.

3) The majority of our common stocks are held by two stockholders, whose interests may conflict with other investors’ interests

On March 31, 2006 Cidade de Deus – Companhia Comercial de Participações, which we name as “Cidade de Deus Participações”, held 48.44% of our common stocks and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 46.20% of our common stocks. As a result, these stockholders have the power to prevent a change in control of our company, even if a transaction of that nature would be beneficial to our other stockholders, as well as to approve related-party transactions or corporate reorganizations.


Critical Accounting Practices

Bradesco’s results are susceptible to accounting policies, assumptions and estimates. It is incumbent upon the Management to adopt proper accounting policies and provide reasonable and suitable judgments and estimates when preparing the financial statements.

Our relevant accounting policies are outlined in the note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in chapter 8 of this Report.

The following discussion outlines the accounting policies deemed as critical, in terms of materiality, areas requiring a greater judgment and estimate or involving a higher level of complexity, affecting our financial condition and the results of our operations. The accounting estimates made under such context impel us to make assumptions on highly uncertain issues. In each case, if we had made other estimates, or if changes in estimates had occurred period by period, these could have significantly impacted our financial condition or the results of our operations:

1) Allowance for Loan Losses

We periodically adjust our allowance for loan losses and leasing based on the analysis of our loan operations portfolio, including probable losses estimate in these segments at the end of each period.

The determination of allowance for loan losses amount by its nature requires us to make judgments and assumptions related to our loan operations portfolio, not only on an individual basis, but also on a portfolio basis. When we revise our portfolio as a whole, various factors may affect our estimate of probable extension of losses, including the methodology we use to measure historical rates of delinquency and the historical period we take into account in such measurements. When we revise loan operations on an individual basis, we make judgments related to the factors, which most probably should affect the risk levels and which specific credit rating we should attribute. Additional factors, which may affect our determination of allowance for loan losses include:

– general economic conditions in Brazil and conditions of relevant sector;
– previous experience with borrower or relevant sector of economy, including losses recent experience;
– credit quality trends;
– guarantees amounts of a loan operation;
– volume, composition and growth of our loan operations portfolio;
– Brazilian government’s monetary policy; and
– any delays when receiving information necessary to assess loan operations or confirm the deterioration of existing credit.

Our determination of allowance for loan losses is influenced by the risk rating of each loan operation. By assuming a positive fluctuation of 1.0% in delinquency rate expected for our loan operations portfolio in full performance on December 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses would increase approximately R$ 30 million. Such sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and intends to illustrate the risk rating and loss severity impact on our determination of allowance for loan losses. The analysis should not be considered as an observation of our expectations for future determinations of risk rating or future alterations in loss severity. In view of the procedures we observe, in order to determine our risk rating of loan portfolio and our assessment of loss severity, we believe that the current risk rating and the estimate of loss severity for our loan portfolio are appropriate.

For further information about our practices referring to the allowance for loan losses see content of loan operations included in Chapter 3 of this Report and notes 3e and 10 included in the Chapter 8 hereof.

2) Assessment of Securities and Derivatives

The financial instruments recorded at fair value in our financial statements mainly include securities classified as for trading, available for sale and other trading assets, including derivatives. The fair value is defined as the value in which a position could be closed or sold in a transaction with a party aware of the issue and willing to trade, without any benefit.

We estimate the fair value by using market-quoted prices when available. We observe that the price market-quoted price may be affected by the volume of shares traded and also may not reflect the “control premiums” resulting from shareholders’ agreements, those holding significant investments. However, the Management believes that market-quoted prices are the fair value best indicators.


When market-quoted prices are not available, we use models to estimate the fair value. The factors used in these models include distributors’ quotations, pricing models, prices of instruments with similar characteristics and discounted cash flows. The pricing based on models also uses information about interest rates, exchange rates, options volatility, when these are relevant and available.

In the determination of fair value, when market-quoted prices are not available, we have the Management’s judgment, since the models depend on our judgment concerning the weight to be attributed to different factors and the quality of information we receive. For instance, reliable market data, when estimating the impact of maintaining a high position are generally limited. Likewise, we use our judgment in the estimate of prices when there is no external parameter. Should we make incorrect assumptions or the model itself makes correlations or incorrect assumptions, the value of income or loss recorded for a specific asset or liability may be improper. The judgment shall also determine if a decline in fair value below the up-to-date cost of a security held to maturity or security available for sale is not temporary, so that to require we recognize a devaluation of up-to-date cost and we may reflect such reduction as expense. In the assessment, if devaluation is not temporary, the Management decides the historical period to be considered and the level of severity of a loss.

Such assessment methods may lead Bradesco to different results, if models used or assumptions and estimates are inaccurate.

For further information about our practices referring to the assessment of marketable securities and derivative financial instruments, see notes 3c, 3d and 8 included in the Chapter 8 of this Report.

3) Classification of Securities

The classification of securities occurs in three categories: for trading, available for sale and held to maturity. This classification is based on the Management’s intent, on the date of acquisition of securities, of maintaining or trading such securities. The accounting treatment of securities held depends on whether we classify them in the acquisition as for trading, available for sale or held to maturity. Circumstantial changes may modify our strategy related to a specific security, which will require a transfer among the three categories.

The classification of securities can be found in the note 8 included in the Chapter 8 of this Report.

4) Income Tax and Social Contribution

The determination of the amount of our taxes and contributions is related to the analysis of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and income tax and social contribution payable. Generally, our assessment requires us to estimate the future values of deferred tax assets and income tax and social contribution payable. Our assessment about the possibility of a deferred tax asset to be realized is subjective and involves evaluations and assumptions originally uncertain. The realization of deferred tax assets is subject to alterations in future tax rates and the development of our tax planning strategies. The support to our assessments and assumptions may change over time, as a result of occurrences or unpredictable circumstances, influencing our determination of value of our tax liabilities.

Constantly we monitor and assess the impact of new tax laws on our liabilities, which could affect the assessments and assumptions of our analysis about the possibility of realizing deferred tax assets. For further information about Bradesco’s income tax and social contribution, see notes 3f and 34 to our financial statements included in the Chapter 8 of this Report.

5) Use of Estimates

Our Management estimates and makes assumptions, which also include the amount of provisions for deferred taxes, the assumptions for the calculation of allowance for loan losses, the assumptions for calculations of technical provisions for insurance, private pension plans and savings bonds, the choice of useful lives of certain assets and the determination if an asset or group of specific assets was deteriorated. The estimates are based on the judgment and available information. Therefore, actual results may differ from such estimates.


Corporate Strategy

We understand that the expansion of the Brazilian economy will stimulate a solid growth in a portion of the population needing financial services, and accordingly, an expansion of demand for such services. Under such context, our main objective is to maintain the focus on the domestic market and take advantage of our position, as the largest private bank in Brazil, to expand profitability, maximizing value to our stockholders and generating higher returns compared to other Brazilian financial institutions.

We intend to achieve such goals with a strategy not only to continuously expand our customer base, but also to consolidate our role as “the priority bank” of each of our clients, so that to be the first option of all our clients towards all their financial services needs. Our goal is to be a “Banco Completo” (all-inclusive Bank) in the Brazilian market. In this regard, we strive to maintain a remarkable presence in every line of financial services.

In the banking segment, we aim at rendering the most varied range of services as retail bank, supported by a staff with more than 74 thousand employees, a wide service network, including our branches, corporate site branches, Banco Postal and correspondent banks, besides the ATMs, always concerned with the expansion of business volume and also operate as a wholesale bank in all its aspects (investment bank and corporate business) and expand our private banking business.

In the insurance segment, we intend to consolidate Bradesco Seguros leadership, and in relation to the supplementary private pension segment, we intend to take advantage of our ongoing expansion of demand for our private pension products.

In every line of our operation, we intend to stand out and be recognized by our clients as leaders in terms of performance and efficiency.

We understand that the essence of business success in the financial sector consists of the combination between winning the client and a team highly qualified and devoted to the rendering of services, permanently trained and with rigid discipline standards at work. Our growth plans are not only translated into seeking the addition of new clients but also are focused on the frequent improvement of products and distribution channels. It is also fundamental to promote the business, the treatment given to our team in terms of qualification, promotion and creation of a solidarity culture at work, with a view to fomenting an environment where our employees may develop a career enduring during their entire professional life.

Finally, the main component of our philosophy is to conduct the business according to the highest ethical standards. Therefore, our strategy is always guided by seeking the best Corporate Governance practices and by the understanding that Bradesco, besides being a source of profits to its stockholders, should also be a building element in the Company.

The key elements of our business strategy are:

– expansion by means of organic growth;
– performance based on the business model of a large banking institution, having as subsidiary an important insurance company, which we name as “Modelo Banco-Seguros” (Insurance Bank Model), with a view to maintaining our profitability and consolidate our leadership in the insurance industry.
– increase of revenues, profitability and value to stockholders, by consolidating our loan operations, our main activity, and the expansion of new products and services;
– maintenance of our commitment to the technological innovation;
– obtain profitability and return to the stockholders by means of improved efficiency ratio;
– maintain acceptable risk levels in our operations; and
– expansion by means of strategic alliances and selective acquisitions, when these are beneficial.

1) To expand main business areas by means of organic growth

The Brazilian economy has been showing solidity over the past years and has been creating strategic opportunities for growth in the financial and insurance segments, mainly by means of increased business volume. We intend to take advantage of such opportunities, increase our revenues, obtain profitability and maximize value to the stockholders, as outlined as follows:

– benefiting from the opportunity in the Brazilian markets to obtain new clients with loan and financial needs only partially met, incrementing the competition for a small level of clients with higher income levels;
– expanding our financial services distribution, by using creativity in developing new products, solidly employing non-traditional means, for instance, to expand our credit cards offer and extension of loan granting to stores, by utilizing alliances with such stores and rendering services via the Banco Postal;


– using the distribution channels in benefit of the Bank, including our traditional Branch Network and technology to access the Internet in order to identify demand for new products;
– offering our customer base, broadly, our products and services;
– using the systems of our branches, with a view to assessing and monitoring the use of our products by clients, so that to drive them to the appropriate commercialization platforms; and
– developing varied products, in compliance with the needs of our clients, both current and potential clients.

2) To operate based on the Insurance Bank Model,in order to maintain the profitability and consolidate Bradesco’s leadership in the insurance industry

Our goal is to be “the priority bank” of our clients, thus increasing attendance to meet their banking, insurance and private pension needs. We believe to be in a privileged position to capitalize the synergy among banking, insurance, private pension services and other financial activities in order to sell our traditional banking products and insurance and private pension products, by means of our branches network, distribution services via the Internet and our creativity in developing new distribution channels.

Concurrently, we aim at increasing profitability levels of insurance and supplementary private pension plans segments, by using the profitability measure rather than the volume of underwritten premium or amounts deposited, as observed as follows:

– maintaining our current policy of carefully assessing the car insurance risks and rejecting them in events where risks are too high;
– intensively trading our products; and
– maintaining acceptable risk levels in our operations by means of a strategy of :

  setting priorities to insurance underwriting opportunities, according to the risk spread between the revenue expected pursuant to the terms of insurance agreement and the amount of projected claims (statistically) to be due under the terms of such agreement;
  carrying out hedge transactions, so that to set out the mismatch between the real inflation index and provisions for adjustments of interest rates and inflation in long-term agreements;
  entering into reinsurance agreements with renowned reinsurance companies, executed by means of IRB-Brasil Resseguros (IRB), viewing to reducing the exposure to great risks; and
  should IRB be privatized, participate in reinsurance business by means of partnership with renowned reinsurance company, by using our total share of 21% in IRB.

3) Increased revenues from banking activities, profitability and value to stockholders, by reinforcing loan operations and expanding new products and services

We are concerned with higher revenues and profitability in our banking operations, with the following measures:

– carry out our traditional activities of deposits and loan operations, continuously seeking to improve the quality of our loan portfolio, by means of risk mitigation plans and improvement in the assessment of loan granting ratings;
– build our customer base, legal entities and individuals, by offering services meeting the needs of specific clients, including foreign exchange services and import/export financing;
– intensively seek the development of paid services based on fees, such as collection and payment processing for current and potential clients;
– expand our financial services and products distributed out of our conventional means of branches, such as credit card activities, taking advantage of change in the consumers’ behavior concerning the financial services consumption;
– increase our revenues from assets management and private pension plans; and
– continuously build our high income customer base, by providing a varied range of tailor-made financial products and services, and offering maximum efficiency in the assets management.

4) To maintain Bradesco’s commitment to technological innovation

The development of efficient means to reach clients and to process operations is a key element of our goal to increase our profitability and thus obtain coordinated growth opportunities. Recently, Bradesco resolved to reinforce such strategy with the challenge of changing our technological model, with a view to definitively maintaining Bradesco’s market leadership in the industry in terms of technology. Thus, Bradesco set a task force devoted to the advance of our profile and public perception towards technology.


We believe that technology offers unequalled opportunities to reach our clients efficiently in terms of costs. We maintain the commitment of being ahead in the banking automation process, by creating opportunities to the Brazilians to contact us via the Internet. We expect to continue increasing the number of clients and operations carried through the Internet, by means of techniques, such as:

– by continuously installing stations of access to the Internet (WebPoints) in public sites and allowing clients to use our banking system via the Internet, whether or not they have access to a personal computer;
– by enlarging our mobile banking service (Bradesco Mobile Banking), allowing clients to carry out their banking operations via the Internet, with compatible mobile phones; and
– by providing Pocket Internet Banking for palmtops and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) allowing our clients to check their bank accounts and savings accounts, credit card transactions, provide for payments, transfer funds and also obtain institutional information.

5) To obtain profitability and return to stockholders by improving the efficiency ratio

We intend to improve our efficiency levels:

– by maintaining the austerity as guideline for our cost control policy;
– by consolidating the synergies enabled by our recent acquisitions;
– by still reducing our operational costs, by means of technology investments, decreasing the costs per transaction, always maintaining our automated distribution channels updated, including our distribution systems by phone, Internet and teller machines; and
– by still incorporating institutions to be acquired in our existing system, in order to remove potential overlaps, redundancies and inefficiency.

6) To maintain acceptable risk levels in our operations

Bradesco is constantly identifying and assessing the risks inherent to the activities we developed and we maintain proper controls, ensuring the conformity with processes and capital efficient allocation, with a view to maintaining levels similar to international standards, as well as to obtain competitive advantages.

7) To enter into strategic alliances and selective acquisitions

We understand that the expansion phase of Brazilian financial institutions will occur due to organic growth over the next years. In addition, we believe that acquisition opportunities will be smaller size institutions, mainly available by means of privatizations. Notwithstanding, we deem that certain institutions, susceptible to be acquired, could present niche opportunities, such as consumer financing, credit cards and investment bank. Therefore, we continuously evaluate potential strategic alliances as well as consolidation opportunities, including privatization and acquisitions proposals, and other forms, which offer potential opportunities to Bradesco increase its market share or improve its efficiency. Besides focusing on the value and the quality of assets, Bradesco takes into account potential operating synergies, crossed sales opportunities, know-how acquisitions and other advantages of potential alliance or acquisition. Our analysis of potential opportunities is guided by the impact these would have over our results.

(1) Adjustments

The effects outlined below were annulled between items:

(i) partial income from derivatives used for hedge effects of investments abroad, which in terms of net income simply annuls the fiscal and tax effect (IR/CS and PIS/COFINS) of such hedge strategy of R$ 10 million and R$ 285 million in the 1st quarter of 2005 and 2006, respectively; and

(ii) extraordinary provision in the amount of R$ 324 million was recorded in the Individual Health portfolio, to bring to the same level the premiums for insurance holders over 60 years of age whose health insurance plans are prior to the Law 9,656/98 and for benefits related to fully settled plans whose holders are still entitled to their benefits (“planos remidos”), which was offset by a positive result verified in the partial sale of our stake in Belgo-Mineira, R$ 327 million in the 1st quarter of 2005.

Excluding these adjustments, the main items, which influenced the net income in the 1st quarter of 2006 compared to the 1st quarter of 2005 are outlined below:

(2) Net Interest Income – R$ 1,313 million

Such growth is basically due to “interest” component, with a share of R$ 1,048 million, caused by an increment in the business volume, pointing out a 50.6% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals in the 12-month period ended on March 31, 2006, mainly concerned with consumer sales and personal loan financing, the spread of which is higher when compared to the corporate portfolio. In the “non-interest” component, with a share of R$ 265 million, the highlight was for the largest gains of TVM and treasury in the 1st quarter of 2006.

(3) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$ 303 million

The variation is mostly due to a 28.0% increase in the volume of loan operations in the 12-month period ended on March 31, 2006, pointing out the individual client operations, under the type “personal loan”, climbing 73.5%, which in view of its specific characteristic requires a higher volume of provision.

(4) Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bonds Operations – R$ 2 million

The Result of Operations of Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bonds remained practically stable in the 1st quarter of 2006 compared to the 1st quarter of 2005.

(5) Fee Income – R$ 379 million

The increase in the period is mainly due to a higher average volume of operations, combined with the improvement in the segmentation process.

(6) Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$ 427 million

Out of such amount, R$ 198 million of personnel expenses basically due to the increase in salary levels resulting from the collective bargaining agreement of 2005, for higher “PLR” expenses, for higher expenses with provision for labor proceedings in the 1st quarter of 2006, and for the acquisition of Banco BEC; and R$ 125 million of other administrative expenses basically referring to effects on increased volume of business, for the acquisition of BEC in the 1st quarter of 2006 and for contractual adjustments in the period; and R$ 104 million of tax expenses derive basically from the increase of PIS/COFINS expenses, due to the increase in taxable income in the 1st quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005.

Total consolidated assets reached R$ 216,391 million at the end of March 2006, growing 3.7% in the quarter.

(1) Adjustments

The partial income from derivatives used for hedge effects of investments abroad, which in terms of net income simply annuls the fiscal and tax effect (IR/CS and PIS/COFINS) of such hedge strategy was R$ (174) million and R$ 285 million in the 4th quarter of 2005 and in the 1st quarter of 2006, respectively. Excluding these adjustments, main items, which influenced the net income in the 1st quarter of 2006 are outlined below:

(2) Net Interest Income – R$ 372 million

Such growth is basically due to “non-interest” component, with a share of R$ 311 million, motivated b higher treasury and TVM gains in the quarter. The “interest” component, with a share of R$ 61 million was the result of a business volume expansion in the quarter, pointing out a 7.5% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals, mainly concerned with consumer financing and personal loan.

(3) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$ 168 million

The variation is mainly due to the growth of 4.1% in the volume of loan operations in the 1st quarter of 2006, mainly operations for individuals, in the “personal loan” category, with an increase of 7.5%, which, due to its specific characteristics, requires a higher volume of provision, in addition to the typical seasonal increase of the 1st quarter.

(4) Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds Operations – R$ (148) million

The variation is basically due to the better performance in the 4th quarter of 2005, in the sale of "PGBL" and "VGBL" products, due to the seasonality of that period.

(5) Fee Income – R$ 30 million

Such increase is mostly due to an expansion in the average volume of operations in the period, pointing out the items “Fund Management”, “Loan Operations” and “Checking Account”.

(6) Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$ (79) million

Such variation is mostly due to: (i) lower administrative expenses – advertising, referring to the intensification of ads at the end of 2005; (ii) lower CPMF tax expenses, in view of the issuances of debentures which took place in the 4th quarter of 2005; mitigated by: (iii) higher personnel expenses, due to the higher “PLR” expenses and higher labor proceedings expenses in the 1st quarter of 2006 and for the acquisition of Banco BEC, which were partially mitigated by vacation concentration.

Bradesco Stock Performance 
 

Bradesco’s preferred stocks had a 14.5% appreciation in the 1st quarter of 2006 (15.1% adjusted by dividends), while Ibovespa appreciated 13.4% .

We believe that the good performance of Bradesco’s stocks in the 1st quarter of 2006 mainly reflects the recognition of the market that the new level of profitability attained recently by the Bank is sustainable due to, among other factors, its positioning in favored segments with the current macroeconomic conditions, for example, loan for individuals.

Another factor which contributed to the performance of Bradesco’s stocks and the general market was the improvement in indicators such as the risk premium aligned to a strong international liquidity scenario, translated into a period of optimism in the market on the account of foreign investors, who had a great participation in the performance of the market during the 1st quarter of 2006.

The growth of the quarter is mainly due to: (i) individual client portfolio, with an 7.5% growth, especially in the Auto products, with a 6.5% increase, and Personal Loan, with a 7.5% increase, reflecting the operating agreements recently executed with retailers, combined with a stable economic scenario and an upturn of real income. The 1.7% growth recorded in the corporate portfolio resulting from the 3.0% increase in the portfolio of large companies (Corporate) and from the 0.3% hike in the portfolio of small and medium-sized companies (SME). In the corporate portfolio, we point out the 10.0% increase in “Working Capital” and the 8.5% hike in “Financing to Exports”, as a result of the maintenance of the economic activity level; and partially offset by: (ii) exchange loss variation of 7.2% in 1Q06, affecting foreign currency indexed and/or denominated contracts, which account for 8.0% of total portfolio. In terms of concentration, the 100 largest borrowers accounted for 22.4% of the portfolio in December/05 and 22.6% in March/06.

(4,301)   (5,315)   23.6    (4,959)   (5,315)   7.2 
   
The variation in the PDD balance for the period was mostly due to: (i) a 28.0% increase in the volume of loan operations, pointing out individual clients operations, with a 50.6% increase, which due to its specific feature, requires a higher volume of provisioning. On a comparative basis, PDD ratio in relation to the loan portfolio decreased from 6.5% in March/05 to 6.3% in March/06, and provision coverage ratio in relation to the loan portfolio under abnormal course, respectively, rated between E and H, decreased from 197.1% in March/05 to 164.3% in March/06, and between D and H, reduced from 162.2% in March/05 to 132.7% in March/06. However, the preventive maintenance of high provision levels made all performance indicators remain with a comfortable coverage for losses. In the period, PDD in the amount of R$ 2,811 was recorded, was incorporated R$ 11 arising from acquired institutions and R$ 1,808 was written off. The exceeding PDD volume in relation to the minimum required increased from R$ 938 in March/05 to R$ 1,032 in March/06.

However, the preventive maintenance of high provision levels made all performance indicators remain with a comfortable coverage for losses. In the quarter, PDD in the amount of R$ 938 was recorded, was incorporated R$ 11 arising from acquired   institutions and R$ 593 was written off.

Profitability 
 

Bradesco’s consolidated net income reached R$ 1,530 million in 1Q06, against R$ 1,205 million reached in the same period of 2005, which corresponds to a 27.0% growth. Compared to the net income of the 4th quarter of 2005, there was an increase of R$ 67 million, or 4.6% . Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$ 20,375 million on March 31, 2006, with a growth of 23.2% and 5.0% compared to the balance of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Accordingly, the annualized Return on Stockholders’ Equity (ROE) reached 33.6% . The total assets added up to R$ 216,391 million at the end of 1Q06, growing 13.1% and 3.7% compared to the balance of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The annualized return on total assets (ROA) in the 1st quarter of 2006 was 2.9% . The earnings per stock reached R$ 1.56.

The 1Q06 was marked by a continued good performance of income composing the Net Interest Income, composed mainly by better results in the “non-interest” component, reaching the amount of R$ 990 million, representing a R$ 770 million growth, compared to 4Q05, basically due to: (i) higher income from derivatives used for hedge effects of investments abroad, which in terms of Net Income, simply annuls the fiscal and tax effect (IR/CS and PIS/COFINS) of such hedge strategy of R$ 459 million; and (ii) higher TVM and Treasury gains of R$ 311 million, while the “interest” component reached the amount of R$ 4,270 million, a R$ 61 million growth in relation to the previous quarter. This increase is basically due to an increment in the business volume. We point out a 7.5% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals, mainly concerned with consumer sales and personal loan financing, which shows a higher profitability than the corporate portfolio.

The Operating Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds showed in 1Q06 a R$ 148 million reduction, as a result of a better performance in the 4th quarter of 2005 in sales of “PGBL” and “VGBL” products, due to the seasonality of such period.

In the 1st quarter of 2006, there was a growth of the overall delinquency ratio, both due to the change in the portfolio profile, with higher share in individual operations, intensified by the typical seasonal increase of the 1st quarter of each year, and due to the slight deterioration of the payment capacity of clients, observed in all the Brazilian Financial System. As a result, there was recording of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, in the amount of R$ 938 million in 1Q06, which results in a R$ 168 million increase when compared to the recording of R$ 770 million in 4Q05. We also established surplus provisions at the amount of R$ 62 million in 4Q05 and R$ 18 million in 1Q06. Excluded such effects, the provision would be R$ 920 million in 1Q06 against R$ 708 million in 4Q05, i.e., a 29.9% growth, reaching a level of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of R$ 5,315 million on March 31, 2006.

Operating Efficiency Ratio in the 12-month period ended on March 31, 2006, was of 42.9%, improving by 1.9 percentage point when compared to the 12-month period ended on December 31, 2005, and by 9.8 percentage point when compared to the period ended on March 31, 2005, principally as a result of the combination of strict expense control with permanent efforts for increase in revenue.

The Expanded Coverage Ratio in 1Q06 [(fee income)/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses)] improved 2.8 percentage points, increasing from 71.8% in 4Q05 to 74.6% in 1Q06.

Analysis of Net Interest Income 
 

a) Net Interest Income Adjustment 
 

Similarly to the previous quarters, the tax effect of hedge of investments abroad is presented separately in the compared periods, which include the partial income on derivatives used for hedge effect on investments abroad, which, in terms of Net Income, simply annuls the tax effect (Income Tax/Social Contribution and PIS/COFINS) of such hedge strategy.

This tax effect is triggered by the fact that exchange variation of investments abroad is not deductible when losses are verified and is not taxable when gains are recognized. On the other hand, the income from derivative instruments is taxable when gains occur and deductible when losses occur.

Therefore, gross income from hedge is reflected in Net Interest Income, under the line “Income from Derivative Financial Instruments”, and its respective taxes are reflected under the lines “Tax Expenses” and “Income Tax and Social Contribution”, as follows:

For a better evaluation of Net Interest Income growth among the periods, hedge effects and exchange variation of investments abroad occurred in the Net Interest Income were excluded, as shown in the previous chart, as well as the R$ 327 million income earned with the sale of our stake in Belgo-Mineira, which took place in 1Q05, as follows:

b) Comments on the Adjusted Net Interest Income Variation 
 

In 1Q06, the adjusted Net Interest Income reached R$ 4,975 million, a 8.1% growth or R$ 372 million, when compared to R$ 4,603 million in 4Q05. When comparing 1Q06 against the same period of the previous year, we can notice a growth of 35.9%, representing an improvement of R$ 1,312 million.

In spite of the drop of the CDI rate from 4.3% in 4Q05 to 4.0% in 1Q06, the growth of volumes of operations provided an increase in the global margin of Consolidated Bradesco, also offsetting the drop of spreads to clients.

The growth of volume of operations represented a positive impact of R$ 232 million in the evolution of the net interest income between 4Q05 and 1Q06, while the drop of spread made the margin decrease from R$ 171 million between the periods analyzed. Thus, the result of operations that earn interest had an evolution of R$ 61 million.

When comparing 1Q06 and 1Q05 the evolution of the result of operations that earn interest was R$ 1,048 million, motivated, mainly, by the increase in the volume of loan operations in the period and by the increase that will be commented below.

Bradesco’s strategy in the retail market, in the last quarters, was mainly focused on the increase of loan operations with individual clients, specially, vehicle financing and personal loan. The result of this effort is shown in the evolution of 7.5% of the balance of individual client loan operations in 1Q06 and the growth of 50.6% compared to the balance of March 2005, resulting from the maturation of some partnerships entered into in 2005.

Corporate loan operations had a slight increase of 1.7% compared to December, in spite of the foreign exchange appreciation in 1Q06 of 7.2%, a fact that negatively impacts the balance of operations Overseas and loan operations in the Country indexed to this currency, when converted into reais. Comparing the evolution of the last twelve months, corporate loan operations had a growth of 15.3% .

The contribution of Grupo Segurador was also positive for the increase of the net interest income, basically, due to the increase in business volume, confirmed by means of the evolution of 10.9% of the number of insured in the last twelve months. In 1Q06 the number of insured practically did not change, standing at about 13 million, in spite of the seasonal effects of demands of this market between the last and the first quarter of the year. In view of that, there was the need to strengthen technical provisions of insurance, private pension plans and savings bonds, which increased 4.1% in 1Q06 and 20.5% compared to the last twelve months.

The result of the adjusted net interest income arising from “non-interest” result in 1Q06 increased R$ 311 million compared to the last quarter of 2005 and R$ 265 million, when compared to the same quarter of 2005, mainly arising from higher gains of marketable securities and treasury in view of the adequate positioning of consolidated Bradesco’s marketable securities portfolio.

It is worth pointing out that the strategy adopted by Bradesco jointly with the stability process of the economic scenario is positively reflecting on the net interest income, once in the last years this item had constant evolutions since 2Q04, as shown in the graphic below:

Evolution – Adjusted Margin – R$ million 
 


The annualized net interest income adjusted rate, obtained by dividing the income from adjusted net interest income over the average balance of total assets, increased from 9.3% in 4Q05 to 9.7% in 1Q06, accounting for 0.4 percentage point increase, and when comparing the 1Q06 to the same quarter of 2005, we can notice an evolution even higher of 1.7 percentage points, i.e., it increased from 8.0% in 1Q05 to 9.7% this quarter.

The evolution of Bradesco net interest income through the years is directly related with the improvement of Bradesco Consolidated assets mix, with a highlight on loan operations that started representing in March 2006 39.0% of the total assets while in March 2005 those operations represented 34.5%, i.e., there was an increase of 4.5 percentage points.

It is also worth pointing out the evolution of the share of loan operations with individual clients in the total loan portfolio that in Mar/05 represented 35.9% of the total and started representing 42.3% . Accordingly, it is important to point out the evolution of the quarterly rates of the adjusted net interest income of 2004, 2005 and 1Q06.

Fee Income increased 22.8% in 1Q06, or a R$379 million growth when compared to the same period of previous year, amounting to R$ 2,040 million.

Major components for growth of Fee Income were:

  the strategy of clients segmentation (Private, Prime, Corporate, Middle Market and Retail), jointly with the tariff realignment and client base growth boosted the “Checking Accounts”, up by R$ 92 million;
     
  the increase in the volume of Loan Operations, especially individuals, with highlights to the products “Personal Loan” and “Vehicles”, which is directly related to the maintenance of economy activity, was the major factor for the increase in item “Revenues from Loan Operations”, a R$ 75 million improvement in the last 12 months;
     
  the growth of 20.3%, represented by the increase of R$ 59 million, in the item “Cards”, in the last 12 months is directly related to the increase of 7.3% in the cards base, from 46.8 million to 50.2 million; and
     
  the volume growth of 25.3% in managed funds, from R$ 104.8 billion on March 31, 2005 to R$ 131.3 billion on March 31, 2006, was the main reason for the growth in the item “Fund Management”, which increased by R$ 57 million in the last 12 months.

When compared to 4Q05, Fee Income showed an expansion of 1.5% with a R$ 30 million growth, as a result of the increased volumes of businesses in 1Q06, pointing out increases of 10.2%, 3.4% and 11.8% under the items “Fund Management”, “Loan Operations” and “Checking Accounts”, up by R$ 28 million, R$ 12 million and R$ 5 million, respectively.

(*) In 2004, the lump-sum payment bonus refers to the additional food basket.

In 1Q06, the Administrative and Personnel Expenses showed a R$ 323 million increase when compared to the same period last year, reaching the amount of R$ 2,736 million against R$ 2,413 million in the same period of 2005. The nominal variation of Administrative Expenses between periods of three months ended on March 31, 2005 and 2006 shows a R$ 125 million increase, reaching the amount of R$ 1,317 million mainly justified: (i) by the increase in the client base; (ii) by the acquisition of BEC in the first quarter of 2006; and (iii) by contractual adjustments in the period.

Personnel Expenses increased R$ 198 million when compared to the same period of 2005, reaching R$ 1,419 million, pointing out: (i) higher expenses: employee profit sharing (PLR) in the amount of R$ 35 million; (ii) higher labor claims provisions R$ 58 million; (iii) the acquisition of Banco BEC R$ 15 million; and (iv) the increase in the salary levels, resulting from the Collective Barganing Agreement of 2005 (6%), benefits and other of R$ 90 milion.

When compared to 4Q05, Administrative and Personnel Expenses decreased R$ 64 million, with a reduction of 2.3%, from R$ 2,800 million in 4Q05 to R$ 2,736 million in 1Q06.

Administrative Expenses decreased by R$ 122 million compared to the previous quarter. However, excluding the seasonal effect of advertising expenses in the 4th quarter of 2005, we can notice that such expenses remained almost stable compared to the 4th quarter of 2005.

Personal Expenses in 1Q06 increased by R$ 58 million mainly due to: (i) higher expenses with “PLR” of R$ 37 million; (ii) higher expenses with provisions for labor proceedings of R$ 25 million; (iii) the acquisition of Banco BEC R$ 15 million; which were mitigated: (iv) by the concentration of net accrual of the increase in salary levels R$ 19 million.

The Efficiency Ratio (accumulated in the 12 months) for March 2006 was of 42.9%, improved by 1.9% percentage point compared to the 12-month period ended in December 2005, mainly as a result of the expenses control, pointing out administrative and personnel expenses coupled with the permanent efforts for increase in revenues. Deserves highlight the higher net interest income in the amount R$ 1,261 million, basically stemming from “interest” component, generated by an increment in business volume, pointing out a 50.6% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals, mainly concerned with consumer sales and personal loan financing, the profitability of which is higher if compared to the corporate loans, and increased fee income, in the amount of R$ 379 million, as a result of increase in the average volume of transactions of fee realignment and the segmentation process.

The Efficiency Ratio for (accumulated in the 12 months) March 2006 posted significant improvement of 9.8 percentage point, from 52.7% in March 2005 to 42.9% in March 2006, due to, basically, the effective control of expenses account, especially, personnel and administrative expenses, which in the last 12-month period evolved 13.4% . Another factor that deserved attention in the improvement of efficiency ratio was the 31.5% evolution of net interest income in the period compared, pointing out higher revenues from loan operations at 22.6%, boosted by an increase in the loan portfolio volume, particularly, the individual client portfolio.

It is worth pointing out that part of the increase in the net interest income of R$ 1,261 million includes R$ 682 million, which is part of derivatives used for hedge effect on investments abroad, which in terms of net income, simply annuls the tax effect of this hedge strategy in the period. This negative tax effect is directly reflected on the items “Tax Expenses” and “Income Tax and Social Contribution”, which are not considered in the calculation of the Efficiency Ratio. If we disregard this part of derivatives in the calculation basis of Efficiency Ratio, both in March 2006 and December 2005, we would reach an index of 44.1% in March 2006 and 45.6% in December 2005, a 1.5 percentage point improvement when compared to December 2005.

If we also exclude from the Efficiency Ratio calculation basis the goodwill amortization expenses over the past 12 months, in the amount of R$ 476 million, we would have an improvement of 0.8 percentage point, from 44.1% to 43.3% .

The Expanded Coverage Ratio (fee income)/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses) improved 2.8 percentage points, from 71.8% in 4Q05 to 74.6% in 1Q06, as shown in the following graph:

Loan Operations 
 

The consolidated balance of loan operations reached at the end of 1Q06 a total of R$ 84.4 billion, representing a 4.1% increase in the quarter and a 28.0% growth in the last 12 months.

Bradesco’s growth in the loan portfolio was more pronounced in the operations for individuals,especially the portfolios of vehicle financing and personal loan, in view that, in businesses involving legal entities, the lines targeted at working capital and export financing stood out, in spite of the dollar depreciation of 7.2% in the period.

Loan Operations – Total Portfolio 
 

The loan for individuals showed a less intense rhythm of 7.5% in the quarter, although maintaining a good growth with a 50.6% increase when compared to the balance of March 2005, mainly due to the consolidation of some categories, such as consigned loan and operating agreements.

Accordingly, the loan granted to companies increased 15.3% in the last 12 months with a better behavior in the quarter, with an increase of 1.7%, due to the drop of loan acquisitions and to the balance of operations portfolios carried out in Branches and Subsidiaries Overseas due to the exchange fluctuation, as previously mentioned.

Loan Operations – per Type of Client

Loan Operations – Client Feature 
 


The higher increase in the individuals segment operations was reflected in the increase of its relative participation in the loan portfolio, starting representing, in March 2006, 42.3% of the total portfolio compared to 35.9% observed in March 2005, besides also changing the representativeness of the Bank’s business segments, as observed in the table bellow:

Loan Operations – per Activity Sector – in percentage 
 


The loan portfolio of Banco Finasa, mainly targeted at vehicle financing for individual clients, has been showing the highest evolution among the business segments, starting being responsible for 18.8% of the loan portfolio of Bradesco Conglomerate. On the other hand, the share of the Corporate segment, even with a growth of R$ 2.0 billion in the last twelve months, decreased from 35.7% in March 2005 to 30.3% in March 2006. The other representative segments (Retail and Companies) remained with a share practically steady in the period.

When distribution is concerned, by activity sector, the industry had a drop in the balance and in the share of the portfolio, due to the reduction of loans for the food and automobile industries, however remained with the highest loan volume (with 23.0% of the total portfolio), followed by Services (16.9%) and Commerce (15.0%).

We point out in the quarter the growth in the share and in the balance of the Services sector, mainly influenced by a short-term operation.

The evolution of balance of operations with Sureties and Aval Guarantees rendered was recorded again, with a growth of 11.5% in the quarter, pointing out the operations carried out with clients of the Corporate segment.

Loan Portfolio Quality 
 
The change in the share of credits under the “AA and C” ratings, compared to the total portfolio, was already expected due to the change of its profile, as previously observed. This trend must remain during the next quarters, following the changes of distribution of credits among the business segments, offset by the higher profitability generated by these assets.

78



Loan Operations by Rating – in percentage 
 


Consistently with the growth of individual client operations, the total volume of allowance for doubtful accounts reached R$ 5,315 million, presenting a slight increase in relative terms, when compared to the total loan portfolio (6.1% in December 2005 to 6.3% in March 2006), ensuring the maintenance of adequate levels of PDD coverage.

In this regard, we point out the strength of the provision criteria adopted, which may be evidenced through the analysis of historical data of allowances for doubtful accounts and losses effectively occurred in the subsequent period of twelve months.

Allowance for Loan Losses (PPD) x Default x Losses – Percentage over Loan Operation Balance 
 


It can be verified in the previous graph that are PDD coverage ratios on loan losses had comfortable margin over all the period analyzed. The trend for the next quarters is maintenance of the relation between the PDD coverage and the write-offs for loss.

79



Delinquency up to 90 days x PDD 
 




In the 1st quarter , it can be verified a growth of the general delinquency ratio, both due to the already mentioned change of the portfolio profile, with higher share in individual client operations, intensified by the seasonal increase normally verified in the 1st quarter of each year, and due to the slight deterioration of their payment capacity, noticed in all the National Financial System. For next months, a slight increase in the delinquency indicators is expected, already duly priced in our products and services.

80



Distribution of the Loan Portfolio of Normal Course by Terms – in percentage 
 


The terms of loan operations, reflected by loan portfolio profile under normal course has been extending, mainly in view of consumer financing operations, which by their nature have a longer term.

The operations with maturity exceeding 180 days represent 48.6% of total portfolio in March 2006, against 46.2% in twelve months.

Loan Portfolio Movement between March 2005 and 2006 – R$ million 
 


At the same time Bradesco has tried to conquer new clients in the market, mainly among individuals, the concern of having the loyalty of those previously existing remains, by means of the offer of new financing lines and revaluation of current loan limits, maintaining the high quality of clients, as shown in the table below:

In the 1st quarter, we noticed, in general, a slight growth of the delinquency ratios. The increase was already estimated, due to changes in the portfolio breakdown and to a slight increase in the delinquency of our clients, in particular of individuals, intensified by the seasonal trend in the period, as noticed in past years. Anyway, the preventive maintenance of high provision levels could absorb such fluctuations, maintaining all performance indicators with comfortable coverage indices.

For 2006, Bradesco remains prepared to take full advantage of all business opportunities, focused on increasing the loan portfolio, while respecting the established loan granting parameters, rooted by the traditional concepts of security, consistency, selectivity and diversification.

Number of Insured – in thousands 
 


Until March 2006, there was an increase of 10.9% in the customer base compared to March, 2005.

When comparing 1Q06 to the same period of the prior year, Bradesco Saúde maintained its noteworthy market position (source: ANS). Brazilian companies are increasingly convinced that Health and Dental Insurance are the best alternatives for meeting their medical, hospital and dental care needs. At present, Bradesco Saúde has more than 2.5 million customers, of which 2.2 million pertain to the corporate segment.

The increasing number of insured from large corporations that have contracted Bradesco Saúde, confirms the insurance company’s high level of expertise and personalization in the Corporate Insurance services, a distinct advantage in the Supplementary Health Insurance market.

Almost 12 thousand companies in Brazil have acquired Bradesco Saúde insurance products. Out of Brazil’s 100 largest companies in terms of revenues, 31 are Bradesco’s insurance clients and out of the country’s 50 largest companies, 32% are Bradesco Saúde’s clients. (source: Exame magazine’s Maiores e Melhores de julho de 2005 – Biggest and Best List, July 2005).

Finally, emphasis should also be given to the user-friendly nature of the Bradesco Saúde Portal (www.bradescosaude.com.br), which, in addition to providing information on available products, also offers access to a number of services for the insured, prospects and brokers.

Until February 2006, Bradesco maintained an outstanding position among the main insurance companies in the Brazilian Basic Line (RE) Insurance market, with a significant 8.3% share of total market sales in this area.

In the Asset Risks segment, Bradesco Auto/RE insures the assets of a significant number of large companies of the country related to the home-building, steel, petrochemical, pulp and paper, aircraft, automotive and food sectors by means of issuances of insurance policies for Operational Risks, Named, Oil, Port Operator, Civil Liability, Engineering Risks, Domestic and International Transport, Hull and Aircraft.

Concerning Large Risk insurance, in addition to others, we point out that in the 1st quarter of 2006, we issued policies for the following insured companies: INFRAERO, Companhia Paulista de Fornecimento de Energia Elétrica – CPEL, Queiroz Galvão Perfurações, Special Vessel, Arsenal de Marinha, Industrias Nucleares Brasileira – INB, PETROBRAS etc. In the D&O segment we can highlight that Bradesco Auto/RE, in partnership with Chubb do Brasil, intensified the commercialization of insurance policies for executives’ responsibility protection of many companies.

In the area of Domestic and International Transport insurance, from the implementation of several visits to clients of the segments Corporate and Companies, mainly in the south, central-west and southeast, we got closer to some important corporate groups, such as: Assolan, Mabel, Maggi, Jolivan, etc.

Similarly, we adopted the strategy to intensify visits to brokers with potential in the transportation insurance portfolio for achievements of new accounts.

We are also being successful in the maintenance of our profitable policies and, as possible, excluding from the portfolio the accounts which are not adding a satisfactory result.

We are also being successful in keeping profitable insurance policies and, as possible, removing from the portfolio the accounts not adding satisfactory results.

We achieved several insurance of business aircraft, in view of the larger disclosure and increase of products “Bradesco Seguro Aeronáutico” (Bradesco Aircraft Insurance). In the Maritime Hull area, we renewed the account of DOCENAVE’s fleet.

We also point out that the relation of Bradesco Auto/RE with Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas (Middle Market), including with own structure, has allowed greater closeness with Bradesco’s clients and enabled the achievement and renew of policies of large companies installed in the country.

In the mass market insurance segment, whose products are focused on individuals, small and medium-sized (SME’s) companies, we maintained a meaningful number of customers, in particular those of the Residential Insurance line.

Another high profitability segment was the Diverse Risks directed to equipment, mainly the insurance arising from operations of leasing, FINAME and CDC of Banco Bradesco.

The continuous upgrading of products provides the improvement of the services rendered to our clients and contributed significantly for the increase in income of the current period.

In the Auto/RCF line, the market was affected by intense competition in big metropolitan areas, aggravated by a small growth in insured vehicle market.

During the period, we maintained our technically correct pricing policy, focused on balanced portfolio results. We consolidated our pricing policy based on the insured specific characteristics, after one year it was launched. We also maintained differentiated services, which add value to our products, such as discounts given through the nationwide customer service networks and autoglass repair, as well as the increase in the number of electronic relationships with brokers and those insured, which are carried out via the Internet.

Bradesco’s market share of the Auto/RCF portfolio, up to February, 2006 was 15.2% .

Bradesco Capitalização’s outstanding position in the savings bonds market is the result of its transparent operating policy, which is focused on adjusting its products in line with potential consumer demand.

Regionally, the company holds a leadership position in two Brazilian states, according to the latest figures for February 2006 published by SUSEP. The company’s market share was of 29.9% in Amazonas and 26.3% in São Paulo.

In pursuit of a bond which is suited to its customers’ different profiles and budgets, a number of products were developed, which vary in accordance with the type of payment, contribution terms, regularity of draws (weekly or monthly) and related prize amounts. This phase brought the general public closer and consolidated the success of the popular “Pé Quente Bradesco” (Lucky Bond) savings bonds series).

We can highlight the performance of products with a social-environmental character such as Pé Quente Bradesco SOS Mata Atlântica which, in addition to enabling the formation of a financial reserve, it contributes for reforestation projects of Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica and Pé Quente Bradesco GP Ayrton Senna, launched in July 2005, whose great differential is the destination of a percentage of the amount collected with securities to social projects of Instituto Ayrton Senna. Thus, in addition to competing for prizes, the product allows the client to help to develop the potential of new generations and participate in the construction of a better Brazil.

Rating 
 

Bradesco Capitalização S.A. received from the risk rating agency Standard & Poor’s, the “brAA” rating, with highlight to the solid financial and equity protection standard guaranteed to its clients.

Quality Management System 
 

Bradesco Capitalização S.A. was the first private savings bonds company in Brazil to receive ISO 9002 Certification. On December 2005, it received again the certification of its quality management system, in the ISO 9001:2000 version within the scope of “Bradesco Savings Bonds Management”. Granted by Fundação Vanzolini, it shows the quality of its internal processes and confirms the principle which is the origin of Bradesco Savings Bonds: good products, good services and permanent evolution.

The share of balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on Loan and Leasing Operations, in March 2006, was 3.9%, above the 3.0% reached in the same period of 2005, due to the larger share of products of Personal Loan and Other Assets and Services in the portfolio composition, to the market behavior in the first 3 months of 2006 and to the provision policy of the Organization, above the minimum required by BACEN.

Bradesco Securities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banco Bradesco, operates as a broker dealer in the United States. The company's activities are focused on the intermediation of stock purchases and sales, with emphasis on ADR operations. The company is also authorized to operate with Bonds, Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposit, among others, and to provide Investment Advisory services. This Bradesco initiative was motivated by the more than 90 ADR programs of Brazilian companies traded in New York and by the growing interest of foreign investors in the emerging markets, and is designed to offer support for global economy investors who invest part of this flow in countries such as Brazil.

Banco Bradesco obtained the Financial Holding Company status from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, on January 30, 2004, which will allow the expansion of Bradesco Securities’ activities.

This status, given based on a rigorous analysis of various aspects determined in US banking legislation, including Bradesco’s high level of capitalization and the quality of its Management, will allow the Bank, either directly or through its subsidiaries, to operate in the US market, whenever considered convenient, carrying out financial activities under the same conditions as local banks, in particular the following:

• Securities trading (underwriting, private placement and market-making);

• Acquisitions, mergers, portfolio management and financial services (merchant banking);

• Mutual funds portfolio management; and

• Sale of insurance.

Accordingly, Banco Bradesco has strengthened its role in the Investment Banking segment, increasing opportunities for exploiting various financial activities in the US market and contributing to the increase in the volume of transactions carried out with Brazilian companies.

In line with a world market trend, Bradesco's structure allows to grouping together customers with similar profiles, facilitating superior quality customer service, extending business opportunities with a greater focus on relationship actions.


Bradesco Corporate Banking 
 

Mission and Values 
 

Bradesco Corporate's mission is to meet client’s needs, developing long-term ethical and innovative relationship in harmony with stockholders' interest.

The area’s principal values and which permeate its day-to-day activities comprise the following:

– teamwork;
– ongoing pursuit of innovation and excellence in customer service;
– transparency in all actions;
– commitment to self-development;
– adherence to strategic guidelines;
– creativity, flexibility and initiative; and
– agile customer delivery.

Background and Achievements 
 

The Corporate Banking segment was introduced in 1999, designed to serve companies from its target market based on a customer, rather than product standpoint, under a centralized relations management, offering as well as traditional products, structured, Tailor-made and Capital Markets solutions, through specific Managers who have a clear vision of risk, market, industries and relationship.

Among the various significant achievements obtained, we point out the ISO 9001:2000 quality certification received by all areas of the Corporate Banking structure, including its Corporate Banking exclusive customer service platforms, as well as the important partnerships entered into with major international banks: UFJ – Japan, BBVA – Spain and BES – Portugal.

Brazilian Desk

Bradesco was the first Brazilian Bank to carry out an operating agreement with a Japanese bank allowing the inclusion of approximately 300 thousand Brazilians living and working in Japan.

This partnership between the different professionals from the two Banks, which was carried out during two years, offers checking accounts, products and services destined to meet the needs of this community.

Customers have access to an exclusive UFJ-Bradesco Branch 7-days-a-week with bilingual (Japanese and

Portuguese) employees who answer via Automated Consulting and Contract Machines – ACMs, which are fully integrated with the UFJ Branch Network, for local bank services and remittances to Brazil.

These facilities will also be available, via 6,000 ATMs with screens in Portuguese, offering ease and convenience to customers.

Such operational agreement sets forth a strategic alliance between Bradesco and the UFJ Bank, which after its merge with Banco Tokyo Mitsubishi as from January 1, 2006, became the world's largest Bank: Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi-UFJ (MUFG).

BES

The partnership with Banco Espírito Santo (BES) to provide for funds remittance services from Portugal to Brazil directly benefits more than 100 thousand Brazilians living and working in that Country.

Besides processing the remittance service, the agreement also provides for the opening of checking accounts of Brazilians, allowing their banking inclusion. The opening of checking accounts will give access to various financial products, such as debit card, savings accounts and life insurance.

The funds remittance from Brazilians working in Portugal represents nearly 300 million Euros per year. Brazilians using the remittance service offered by the partnership Bradesco/BES will have competitive cost and more processing alternatives, such as the Internet and 10 thousand ATMs, besides the telephone and the Internet Banking. Inflow of funds will occur and these will be distributed to the beneficiaries in Brazil by Bradesco.

Another example of a solution with significant added value for the Institution are the partnerships entered into with major retail networks for consumer sales financing, made feasible as a result of the relationship and familiarity with this industry's production chain and the synergy which exists among the Bank's various segments.

Total resources comprising assets (credit, bonds and guarantees) and liabilities (deposits and funds/ portfolios) amount to R$ 64.8 billion.

Risk Management and Compliance 
 

Credit Risks, Operational Risks, Market Risks, Internal Controls and Compliance 
 
 
Activity and Structure 
 

The risk management activity plays a significant role, not only as a result of a growing complexity of services and products offered by the Organization, but also in view of the globalization of its activities. Therefore, Bradesco has improved its risk management-related activities, in pursuit of the best internationally used practices, however duly adjusted to Brazil’s reality.

Bradesco deems the risk management a generating factor of competitive advantage employed by the Organization with a view to adding value to Bradesco Brand, to the extent this enables support to the business areas in the planning of their activities, optimizing the utilization of own funds and of third parties, in benefit of stockholders and the company. In this regard, Bradesco foments the technical improvement of its team on a permanent basis and particularly, the professionalization of those connected with the risk management and control.

The organizational structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department – DGRC, reflects the Organization’s commitment to the issue. DGRC has the independency necessary and the integration of three risks into a single area brings great advantages to risk management, meeting the concepts enacted by the New Capitals Agreement (Basel II) and the best Corporate Governance practices.

Organizational Structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department: 
 


137



The structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department also aims at ensuring the necessary focus to such activities and generate a solid added value. Robust investments are made, especially in the qualification of employees, to enhance the quality of risk management of the Conglomerate, not restricted to the banking activities, but on the contrary, extended with the same relevance to the other activities of the Organization.

Additionally, the Risk Management and Compliance Department coordinates all the actions necessary to comply with the regulations issued by the Brazilian Central Bank, as regards the New Capital Accord (Basel II) and also the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Risk Management Process 
 

Bradesco adopts a comprehensive and integrated approach for managing all risks inherent to its activities, based on the support from its Internal Controls and Compliance structure. This integrated view allows the improvement of its risk management models, filling possible gaps, which could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment of risks.

Credit Risk Management 
 

Credit Risk is the possibility of a counterparty of a loan or financial operation might neither intend nor suffer any change in its ability to comply with its contractual liabilities, thus may generate any loss for the Organization.

As part of its Credit Risk Management improvement process, Bradesco is working uninterruptedly to improve the procedures for gathering and controlling portfolio information, developing and improving loss estimation models to examine and prepare the rating inventories used in the follow-up of credit analysis, granting and settlement processes, monitoring credit concentration and identifying new components offering credit risks and preparing risk mitigation strategies.

Efforts, which are focused on the utilization of advanced models, used to assess the risks and improve processes, have demanded exhaustive works by all the areas comprising the loan chain, and on the other hand, have reflected on the quality and performance of the portfolio seen over the past quarters, both in terms of results and solidity to various past and future scenarios.

We also point out the following actions and events:

– The Executive Committee of Credit Risk Management monthly holds a meeting, enabling the follow-up and the participation of the Top Management in the major facts and decisions referring to credit risk;

138



– incentives to improve risk rating models of clients within particular characteristics in the business segments Bradesco operates;

– participation in the evaluation of credit risks upon review of formalization of products;

– implementation of expected and unexpected losses calculation system, besides the allocation of corresponding capital;

– a periodical review of projects related to the compliance with best practices and requirements of New Capital Basel Accord, by monitoring actions in progress and identifying new gaps and needs emerged for the improvement of management process, preparing action plans;

– backtesting of the models used for measuring loan portfolio’s risks;

– optimization of the manageable information systems in order to meet the current approach of department and customers’ segmentation, emphasizing decision-making process and loan portfolio’s management;

– follow-up of critical risks: periodical monitoring of the main events of default, by means of individual analysis based on the growth of clients’ balances and recovery estimates; and

– continuous review and restructuring of the internal processes, including roles and responsibilities, qualification, organizational structures review and IT demands.

Operational Risk Management 
 

Under the corporate scope, Bradesco Organization defines operational risk as a manifestation of events resulting in the business interruption, systems failure, errors, omissions, frauds, or events in various activities, with impacts over clients and the Institution.

The operational risk management is based on the preparation and implementation of methodologies, using a standardization specific system of collection format and treatment of operating loss historical data and is aligned to best practices in the market in operational risk management. We point out that we are under the conditions to meeting the guidelines enacted by the New Capital Basel Accord and to the schedule set forth by the Central Bank of Brazil, by means of Notice #12,746, issued in December 2004.

Since 2002, we have been annually conducting a theoretical calculation of operational risk capital allocation, using the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), Standardized Approach (STA) and the Alternative Standardized Approach (ASA), as defined by Basel II. Through such studies, we verified a lower utilization of capital with the Alternative Approach (ASA), when compared to the others.

In 2005, Bradesco concluded an exhaustive process of reviewing the corporate accounts plan, which included the review of the Organization’s products and services. As a result of such work, Bradesco opened specific accounting items, improved the records and the analysis of events related to operational risk, by also resulting in the improvement of internal processes, associating them to the lines of business enacted by Basel II, which on their turn, are aligned to the concepts used in the credit risk management. Such work carried out in 2005 at affiliated companies, Branches and subsidiaries Abroad, should be extended to the Insurance Group in 2006.

In addition, in 2005, we directed our efforts to identify operational losses occurred with loan instruments, by observing the concepts enacted by Basel II, and obtained solid results in the Retail line of business, specifically Finasa and Credit Cards.

The Organization participated in the 5º Estudo de Impacto Quantitativo (Quantitative Impact Study 5 –QIS 5) prepared by the Central Bank of Brazil and BIS (Bank for International Settlement), and based on the average of the three-year period (2004, 2003 and 2002), in which a lower allocation of capital by the Alternative Standardized Approach (ASA) was again verified, according to the table as follows:

139



Participation among Approaches in the Calculation of Operational Risk Capital Allocation 
 

 Approach    Central Bank *    BIS* 
     
Basic Indicator (BIA)   100.00%    100.00% 
Standardized (STA)   95.57%    93.63% 
Alternative Standardized (ASA)   49.62%    43.08% 
* The differences refer to the adoption of distinct criteria determined by the Central Bank of Brazil and by Basel Committee (Basel II) (Base: December 2004)

The Bradesco Organization’s goal is to obtain qualification for the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA). The data to prepare the calculations required are obtained by means of book accounts opened for registration of Operational Risk loss events. This structure enables a better understanding of the events, as well as a detailed evaluation of their occurrences by means of inferences about the operational data base.

When determining the regulatory capital for Operational Risk, by the Advanced Methodology, we measure the expected losses (EL), not only in compliance with Basel II rules, but also for the establishment of operational losses provisions necessary with statistical assistance.

Those losses not classified as expected (EL), i.e., the unexpected losses (UL) are calculated by using the LDA (Loss Distribution Approach) methodology, which comprises the estimate of distribution of severity (loss amount), frequency (number of losses events) and the calculation of VaR (Value at Risk), which represents a maximum loss with 99.9% of chance of occurring. Therefore, we consider as unexpected loss (UL), the difference obtained between the expected loss and the VaR measure, which will reflect on future capital allocations.

In addition, a new systemic business platform is under validation process, which will integrate into a single data base, the Operational Risk and Internal Controls information (quantitative and qualitative portion of the risk), and will comprise the requirements set forth by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Market Risk Management 
 

Market risk is related to the possibility of the loss of income from fluctuating rates caused by mismatched maturities, currencies and indexes of the Institution's asset and liability portfolios. This risk has been accompanied by growing strictness by the market, with significant technical evolvement over the past years, with a view to avoiding, or at least, minimizing, eventual losses to institutions, due to higher complexity in operations carried out domestically and internationally.

At Bradesco, market risks are managed through methodologies and models, which are consistent with local and international market realities, ensuring that the Organization's strategic decisions are implemented with speed and a high level of reliability.

The Organization adopts a conservative policy regarding market risk exposure; VaR (Value at Risk) limits are defined by Senior Management, and compliance therewith is daily monitored by an independent area to the portfolio management. The methodology used to determine VaR has a reliability level of 97.5% . The volatilities and correlations used by the models are calculated on a statistical basis and used in processes based on future prospects in accordance with economic studies. The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

Investments abroad protected by hedge operations are not considered in the VaR calculation, since these are strategically managed differently, with amounts taking into account the tax effects, which minimize the sensitivity to risks and corresponding impacts on results, as well as foreign securities positions, which are funding-matched.

Besides the follow-up and control via VaR, a Sensitivity Analysis is made daily, which measures the effect on domestic interest rate curve portfolio and exchange coupon curve (differential of interest paid above the exchange variation), as well as possible impacts on stress scenarios positions are periodically assessed.

Complementing the market risk monitoring, control and management structure and in accordance with Central Bank regulations, a daily verification is made of the values at risk for the pre-fixed and foreign exchange positions of the Organization's entire portfolio and of remaining capital requirements.

Management of Internal Controls and Compliance 
 

The Organization is continually developing policies, systems and internal controls to mitigate possible potential losses generated by its exposure to risk, destined to optimize processes and procedures, among which we point out the following:

Internal Control System based on 25 Basel Internal Control Principles and in the methodology of Committee of Sponsoring Organizations – COSO, in the businesses areas, referring to control environment components, risk assessment, control activities, information, communication and monitoring and Control Objectives for Information and related Technology – COBIT, for the information technology areas. This system reinforces the ongoing improvement in the identification process and assessment of controls used in risks mitigation, also in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404.

Liquidity Risk Management 
 

Liquidity risk management is designed to control the different mismatched settlement terms of the Institution's rights and obligations, as well as the liquidity of the financial instruments used to manage the financial positions.

Knowledge and monitoring of this risk are critical since they enable the Organization to settle transactions on a timely and secure manner.

At Bradesco, liquidity risk management involves a series of controls, mainly with respect to the establishment of technical limits, with constant assessment of the positions assumed and the financial instruments used.

Capital Risk Management 
 

The Organization's capital is managed to optimize the risk to return ratio, in such a way to minimize losses through the implementation of well-defined business strategies and maximizing efficiency in the combination of factors which impact on the Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel).

In a continuous search to offer agile and profitable business, we apply appropriate methodology directed to each Bradesco’s business segment, as well as guiding the establishment of operating limits and the granting of loan operations.

Within rules and Loan Policy, the Branches maintain their limit values variable, according to the size and guarantees of operations, and the automatic classification is verified against global risk of client/ economic group.

The loan proposals pass through an automated system and under parameters in a continuous improvement process, with a view to supplying indispensable subsidies for analysis, granting and follow-up of loans granted, minimizing the risks inherent to loan operations.

For the granting of mass loan, the specialized Credit Scoring systems enable to attain greater agility and reliability, besides the standardization of procedures in the credit analysis and granting processes.

The Loan Committee located at the Bradesco's Headquarters aim joint decision-making processes within its skills referring to consultations about limits or operations proposed by the Branches (Prime, Private, Varejo (Retail and Corporate) and by the Departments (Corporate and Exchange), including External Branches, previously analyzed and with opinion of the Loan Department.

Operations are diversified, non-selective and focused on individuals and corporate customers with sound payment capacity and proven creditworthiness. Care is taken to ensure that the underlying guarantees are sufficient to cover the risks assumed, considering the purpose and terms of the loan granted.


Methodology Used for Loan Portfolio and Client Classification 
 

The credit risk assessment methodology, besides delivering data to establish minimum parameters in the loan granting and risk management, also enables to define differentiated loan policies in view of characteristics and size of client, providing grounds not only for the correct pricing of operations, but also the definition of adequate guarantees according to each situation.

Concerning the internal policy, the risk ratings of Bradesco’s clients are given on a corporate basis and periodically followed-up, with a view to preserving the quality of loan portfolio, according to the following levels:

Methodology for Mapping Processes 
 

This methodology is designed to codify and standardize processes mapping works carried out by the Organization's different departments on a stage-by-stage basis which, in conjunction with the information on related products, services and activities, ensures that these processes are effectively analyzed in the pursuit for ongoing improvement, as well as providing the documentation required by the Internal Controls and Compliance System, the Bradesco Quality Management System based on the NBR ISO 9001:2000, the Activity-Based Costing System –ABC and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Activity-Based Costing – ABC 
 

Designed to support the Bank in its actions to improve processes and optimize production resources, such as practices recommended for decreasing costs, Bradesco adopts the Activity-Based Costing System –ABC, which measures the cost and performance of its activities, resources and cost centers.

The knowledge of the Bank's activities, as well as the correct measurement of the resources consumed by these activities, allows a more accurate analysis of the cost/benefit ratio of each of the Organization's productive processes and results centers.

We stress that as a result of the application of Activity-Based Costing, the Bank is now meeting the following targets: improved allocation of costs to products, channels and customers; support to qualification studies and negotiation of bank fees; subsidy to product, unit and client profitability systems; support to studies concerning outsourcing, incorporation and equipment sharing, as well as support to cost rationalization studies.

Activity-Based Management Program 
 

Bradesco has commenced the development of Activity- Based Management, seeking to exploit the potential benefits of this cost management model, which will rapidly lead to the prevention of costs and a proactive approach regarding the identification of opportunities.

Accordingly, as processes are improved, operating performance can be seamlessly integrated with Bradesco's strategic goals, designed to create and/or sustain Bradesco's competitive advantages and add value both for clients and stockholders.

The future mission of Activity-Based Management is to provide permanent support to the planning and control of the Bank's business processes, ensuring that tactical and operational issues are continually improved, as well as supporting their strategic gearing.

Expenses Assessment Committee 
 

In the pursuit of enhanced cost control and the adoption of strategies, policies and measures designed to restrain expenses, in March 2004, Bradesco created the Expenses Assessment Committee, responsible for monitoring administrative and personnel expenses, as well as expenditures with capitalization, analyzing their origin with the related areas, seeking to obtain a maximum cost/benefit ratio.

In line with good Corporate Governance practices, the Committee is an important tool, as a result of its permanent activity and capacity to anticipate events, for improving and enhancing processes, capable of carrying out an in-depth analysis of Bradesco's costs, from all standpoints and producing savings which reflect positively on the Organization's results.

159


Integrated Management System – ERP 
 

For purposes of providing permanent and appropriate support for its operations and in the pursuit of improved results, as well as extending its capacity to manage the Organization's resources, Bradesco adopts one of the most modern concepts for integrating organizational processes, using SAP's Integrated Management System, mySAP Business Suite solution.

This system’s development represents an innovation in the treatment of the value chain supporting Bradesco's financial industry, through the adoption of an approach, which is focused on processes, people, organizational structure and technology.

Initially, the system will integrate processes in the Human Resources, Training, Purchases, Accounts Payable, Fixed Assets and Accounting, processes on which they are based. The areas integrated through this technology will be able to renew processes and review organizational structures and nearly 74 thousand system users will be qualified via in-class and e-learning training.

As a result of the implementation of the Integrated Management System, Bradesco will benefit most from the organization and standardization of the processes carried out in different areas, secure data processing, increased productivity and agile decision-making, as well as decreased operating costs. These factors are crucial for the Organization's growth, especially in view of current financial area competition, prompting us to pursue increasingly effective management methods designed to ensure that all of Bradesco's business potential is properly leveraged.

Projects for Bradesco Seguros e Previdência are in progress supported by the UniverSeg (Insurance Knowledge Universe) brand, which aims to provide all the training for employees, insurance brokers and dealerships, targeted at the insurance segment, as a single, corporate project, contributing to the Insurance Company to be the best place for the broker set his/her production, the best place for the insured insure his/her life, health, assets and the best place to work for. This quarter more than 2,000 professionals were qualified.

New Projects are under development for Universeg with highlights to UNIVERSEG ON THE STAGE, using the interactive theater methodology, which works with themes connected to the performance of insurance brokers and dealerships that sell products of Bradesco Seguros within the scope of our branches. The outcome of the project has been surprising and significant, for it meets all the goals proposed by the Insurance Company and in view of this experience, this program may be offered to the internal public, focusing actions on quality of assistance and on the improvement of professional performance.

Certification in Investment Products 
 

Programs that prepare for the exam of Certification in Investment Products are in progress and, in this 1st quarter, one more certification exam was carried out with the participation of 1,106 employees, with a 73% approval index.

The approval index reached by Bradesco in all exams was 81.2%, while the market index stood at 72.3% . This fact consolidates the concern the Organization has to adequately prepared professionals and also the involvement shown by employees during the certification process.

These figures enabled the certification, until the end of this quarter, of more than 8,300 professionals directly involved in the assistance to clients of the Network of Branches and to qualified investors in conformity with the compliance with the Resolution 3,158/03, of the Brazilian Monetary Council.

Incorporation of BEC 
 

In March Bradesco started incorporation training of employees of former BEC, Banco do Estado do Ceará, for the appropriate operationalization of Bradesco system, client assistance and performance of businesses, by means of the understanding of concepts, techniques and business policies of the Organization, which will involve the participation of 434 employees.

On-line training 
 

Bradesco is pleased to announce that it surpassed the record of more than 1.2 million participations in TreiNet – Training through the Internet, in the 62 courses available, since its implementation in 2000. By means of a methodology that enables dissemination of new knowledge indistinctly, TreiNet is a differential for our employees, which meets the Organization’s interests, and makes them be able to plan their learning actions according to their needs, respecting their personal time and place preferences and absorption of the content. In partnership with Fundação Bradesco, TreiNet courses are available for clients who hold a Bradesco University Account. Furthermore, by means of the website 100% broker of Bradesco Seguros e Previdência, TreiNet is also available for brokers and dealerships that sell the Organization’s insurance products.

170


On-line training is also used in the implementation of new business or back-office tools, for example the recent implementation of SAP, which in this 1st quarter recorded nearly 480 thousand participations in the several courses made available for the use of the tool. It would not be possible to adequately train 73 thousand presence employees in the same period and the use of other distance training media, such as videotraining or even brochures, would not allow the same results.

In English learning, on-line training has been a differential, enabling the participation of around 1,000 employees in courses from basic to advanced level.

Brochures and Videotraining 
 

Based on the demands of Bradesco areas of standard and operational issues, with a view at the awareness of employees, in this period we made available two Brochures, one about the Alert System (SALE), with the purpose of providing employees with a basic view of the Alert Systems, in order to facilitate the understanding of how the system organizes information coming from the data base and how to use this information for loan analysis and management. The other brochure is about the Management of Administrative Expenses, mainly the importance of the effective follow-up and control of administrative expenses in all premises of Bradesco.

Other two new videotrainings were also launched: A Matter of Posture, which makes employees aware of the importance of posture in the prevention of occupational diseases and the video Code of Defense of the Bank Client – New Edition, which was reedited with the purpose of training employees about the main rules and procedures defined in the Resolution 2878 – Code of Defense of the Bank Client.

Social and Corporate Responsibility 
 

We continued with the projects that focus on human valuation such: Youth Apprentice Program, Young Citizen Program and Internship Programs, among them, the Unipalmares Project (Universidade Zumbi dos Palmares). These programs benefit youngsters in the beginning of their careers, with qualification, social inclusion, as well as personal and professional development. Also under this context, Bradesco developed preparatory training in Libras (the sign language for deaf-mute people), for employees providing direct services to disabled clients.

Finasa Sports Program 
 

The Bradesco Organization channels demonstrate its support of sports activities through the FINASA ESPORTES (Finasa sports) program, successor of the BCN Sports Program. This initiative, with 18 years of activity, gained momentum in 1997, following its integration with Bradesco's other social projects. Along its history, the program was known by its seriousness and has become a benchmark for assistance in the education of young people, using volleyball and basketball as an instrument for social inclusion. At present, 3,093 girls from 10 to 16 years of age, enrolled at school and attending classes on a regular basis are included in the program. Approximately 70% of these girls derive from deprived backgrounds and are considered to be at social risk.

FINASA ESPORTES maintains 73 training centers, 47 for volleyball and 26 for basketball, installed on the premises of state schools, at Osasco's city hall sports centers, at Fundação Bradesco school, at a SESI unit and at three private schools, all located in the municipality of Osasco, in the Greater São Paulo. Acting in partnership with the local government, the Bradesco Organization offers a full support structure which includes the supply of sports and learning materials, as well as a team of 70 professional instructors, including local and state coordinators and teachers.

The community integration has been the outstanding feature of this important work. The PROGRAM is designed to transform sports practice into a powerful tool for strengthening the ties with citizenship values. At the FINASA ESPORTES training centers, 2 classes every week are dedicated to counseling on various topics, such as notions of hygiene, teen pregnancy, stress, drug abuse and other teen-related issues, always emphasizing the importance of team spirit. The training centers are also used to disseminate values that favor healthy living in society, including respect for others, union, dedication, persistence and excellence. Classes also stress the importance of having a positive and participative attitude, emphasizing the need to foster activities related to the recycling of materials, the rational use of water and electricity and the promotion of campaigns related to social issues, such as collecting donations in food and clothing.

The FINASA ESPORTES program shows that sports practice is much more than a way to discover vocations or create athletes, it lays the basis for the formation of citizens, who are the essence of a better country for everyone.

Fundação Bradesco – The Bradesco Organization’s Social Action 
 

Background 
 

Fundação Bradesco, a non-profit entity, headquartered at Cidade de Deus, Osasco, SP, was founded in 1956 and declared to be of Federal Public Utility by Decree 86,238, on July 30, 1981.

Aware that education lies on the roots of equal opportunities and personal and collective fulfillment, Fundação Bradesco currently holds 40 schools installed as priority in the country's most underprivileged regions, in all Brazilian states and in the Federal District.

Objectives and Goals 
 

Through the pioneer action of private social investment, the main mission of Fundação Bradesco is to provide formal quality education to children, young people and adults, so that they achieve personal fulfillment through their work and citizenship.

Accordingly, the reach of Fundação Bradesco has been expanded yearly, increasing the number of enrolled students from 13,080 to more than 107,944 over the last twenty-five years. The schools of Fundação Bradesco run free education for Kindergarten, Primary School and High School, Continued Preliminary Education of Workers as well as High School Technical Professional Education in IT, electronics, industry, management and agribusiness. Distance learning is also offered as part of the Youth and Adult Basic Education Equivalency programs via Teleeducation and the Virtual Classroom site.

173


Areas and Methods of Action 
 
 
Basic Education 
 

Basic Education comprises the Kindergarten, Primary School (first to eight grades) and High School, consisting more than 43.61% of all students on courses provided by Fundação Bradesco each year. In addition, the students receive free school materials, uniforms, meals and health and dental care.

Fundação Bradesco is always evaluating contemporary learning trends and, therefore, is always bringing new challenges for learning practices so that the conclusions are spread throughout all school units, ongoing interactions among them.

The schools are understood as a privileged environment for appraising citizenship values and for regarding students as original and creative human beings, who learn through experiences in both school and society. Hence, their potential and needs to interact and reflect on the diversity of knowledge are essential.

The multi-disciplinary learning seeks to provide students with access to practical and theoretical cognitive content, based on the principle that the development process is both dialectic and constructive and that their role in learning is faced as a producer of knowledge.

On this intent, Fundação Bradesco offers various continued education opportunities to educators, including e-learning.

These resources have resulted in the compilation of diverse learning materials, including text books used up to the fourth grade of primary school, Philosophy for High School and Cultural Diversity as well as other important supporting materials.

Technical Professional Education 
 

Based on the commitment of offering technical professional education capable of guaranteeing to the student the continuous right to develop their skills for a fruitful and social life, Fundação Bradesco is in consonance to a new model of technical education in force in Brazil. Bradesco structured the subjects of the course, prioritizing the demands from the market and the society from a brand new perspective, offering work preparation.

High School Technical Education 
 

Based on the professional areas of Agribusiness, Management Industry (Electronics) and Information Technology, a number of courses were developed and offered according to the specific needs of the communities in which the School units are located.

The content of these courses aims to ensure a strict relation among work, knowledge and citizenship. The final target is to bring out creative, productive and business-minded citizens, as well as showing students the importance of permanent education.

When offering to students, who arise from underprivileged backgrounds, courses whose content will facilitate their entry and re-entry into the labor market, Fundação Bradesco provides access to the emerging and fast-changing business world.

Preliminary and Continued Qualification of Workers 
 

Fundação Bradesco offers on a free of charge basis this mode of education, designed for the update, qualification and re-qualification of workers with different school levels. There are more than 100 options for free courses, presenting flexible programs, in the same track of the labor market conditions in the following professional areas: Management, Personal Image, (Fashion and Personal Beauty Care), Industry (Electrical, Electronics and Printing Technology), IT, Leisure and Social Development, Tourism and Hospitality (Tourism, Hospitality and Catering). In the Agribusiness Area, Fundação Bradesco offers courses which include Artificial Insemination techniques.

174


Youth and Adult Education 
 

These students come from different regions but often have similar life histories and comprise in their majority, workers and housewives who were unable to attend or remain at school when they were supposed to. At Fundação Bradesco, they are given adult literacy courses and graduate at both Elementary and High School levels, apply for university entry, in order to improve their employment prospects and most importantly to increase their skills.

Youth and Adult Education courses are given in two segments: Youth and Adult Literacy and Tele-education for Elementary and High School Equivalency.

The Tele-education courses are offered in the own schools of the Fundação or on the premises of the companies that have entered into operating agreements with it, with flexible timetables to suit the different work shifts, once the classrooms are taken up to the companies, respecting the different working hours and avoiding the need for students to travel to the school units. Another reason for the good performance is related to the investments made by Fundação Bradesco in learning technology resources.

Developed for the parents of students who attend the schools of Fundação Bradesco, the Adult Literacy Course is structured around a social-constructive concept, whereby the student becomes an active subject in the learning process. The topics addressed during classes awake the interests and motivate learners, guaranteeing the success of the course.

The main purpose of Fundação Bradesco is to prepare students to improve their lives, based on the acquisition of organized knowledge, since according to Bradesco’s philosophy education alone is capable of forming citizens who are participative and aware of their role in society.

Material Facts 
 

The support to “Alfabetização Solidária” was renewed with investments of R$ 1 million. In 2006, nearly six thousand students and 240 teachers will be benefited with funds from Fundação Bradesco in 16 cities of the northeast region with high illiteracy levels.

Among 700 finalists, from schools all over the Country, five students from Fundação Bradesco from the school units of Boa Vista, Cacoal, Paragominas, Rio Branco and São Luís were chosen to participate in the II Youth Environment Conference. The students helped to write the “Letter of Responsibilities about the Environment” delivered to the President of Brazil.

On March 19, all the school units of Fundação Bradesco promoted the National Day of Voluntary Action. More than 1 million services were rendered in the citizenship, education, leisure, sports and environment areas. Such action gathered approximately 21 thousand volunteers in more than 150 service centers which include the public schools, Digital Inclusion Centers – CIDs and Fundação’s schools.

Main Acknowledgments 
 

Two compositions written by students from São João Del Rei were rated in the V Composition Contest “Reading is Needed”, promoted by Ayrton Senna and Ecofuturo Institutes, which has as purpose to encourage and value creativity among children and youngsters by means of writing. More than 5,800 schools participated with 21 thousand compositions. The 60 best texts were published in the book “We are and we want”.

Projects from students of the 8th grade of the Middle School, High School and Technical Courses from public and private school from all over Brazil participated in the IV FEBRACE, Brazilian Science and Engineering Fair, promoted by USP – São Paulo University with the purpose of encouraging new vocations in Sciences and Engineering by means of creative and innovative projects. Fundação Bradesco was represented with ten projects that achieved important awards, such as the right to attend an international science fair in Mexico.

Bradesco’s Contribution to Preserve the Environment 
 

Bradesco aware of the dimension of sustained responsibility and the need of balancing our mission in maintaining adequate facilities, without disregarding the social and environmental aspects, we have adopted practical measures contributing to preserve the environment.

In this regard, we permanently seek to apply new technologies minimizing the impact on ecosystems.

In addition, the contracted companies’ commitment to our social and environmental goal and a continued awareness of our staff in pursuit of eco-efficiency, reinforces our commitment to foment sustainability. Below, we present some measures already adopted or under implementation.

1) Solid Residues derived from Civil Works 
 

Concerned with the impact on environment, we made an addendum to our agreements with segment companies, holding the building contractors responsible for complying with the Resolution 307 of the Environment National Council concerning the correct destination of residues produced in site office (debris, wood, plastic, metal etc.), upon refurbishments and alterations in layouts of our premises. Referring to the maintenance of buildings at the headquarters, the agreements were added with a specific clause on the correct destination of painting residues (inks, glue, paint brush used etc.)

This responsibility includes the submission of a document recording that residues were deposited in licensed landfills, in the cities served thereby, under the selection of works remains as indicated by the above-mentioned Resolution.

180


2) Paper and Cardboard 
 

Currently, approximately 100 tons of paper and cardboard are collected monthly in some of our administrative centers, which are submitted to a selective process. It has been examined the possibility of its implementation in other regions.

Methods to assess the quantity of paper consumed by the Organization is under study, both office paper and forms, with a view to knowing, besides the amount, which are the possible measures, that may be adopted aiming at reducing such consumption.

3) Recycled Paper Usage Program 
 

Now we hold a special initiative, whether due to its dimension and comprehensiveness, or due to a positive standing towards the environment preservation: Recycled Paper Usage Program at Bradesco Organization.

This Program, a result of Bradesco’s belief that it is able to highly contributing to disseminate theory and practice of environmental responsibility, has been implemented gradually in our Organization. The option to use Recycled Paper was made after long negotiations with suppliers, and even if it does not mean costs optimization, we are aware that the result will be beneficial for the country development. We already started to use recycled paper to produce internal prints and also in the routine information to our Investors, Market Analysts and Clients.

4) Metal, Glass and Plastics 
 

In September 2005, we started at the headquarters and in two other administrative centers the selective collection of metal, glass and plastics, which has been encouraged by means of in-house campaigns. In order to improve our concern in this regard, we have been using at the headquarters, biodegradable plastic bags with colors corresponding to waste collected. We estimate to optimize the use of this type of material, on a short-term basis, in all our network. A measure adopted nearly 4 years ago is the utilization of remanufactured cartridges as consumption items for our Premises, aiming besides cost savings, the benefits of reducing pollution and environmental tear and wear. Out of the 51 types of toner cartridges composing our consumption list, 34 are remanufactured products, which participate in the reutilization cycle, as much as this is technically feasible, aiming at maintaining a good quality when printing documents.

5) Biodegradable Products for Cleaning 
 

At Bradesco’s headquarters, the Company started the cleaning and maintenance services by using biodegradable products and one of the service companies started to employ 13 less aggressive items to the environment, out of a total of 21 cleaning necessary products. Other companies are being encouraged to use products of such type, which then will be one of the requirements to be considered in a further agreement renewal. Such measure integrates an improvement program seeking to standardize the biodegradable products, the appropriate dilution, in conformity with the manufacturer’s guidance and the obligation to present information about chemical products applied in our Premises.

181


6) Lamps 
 

We have more than 36 thousand lamps at our headquarters buildings and monthly more than 600 lamps are replaced. Concerned with the appropriate destination of this material, the maintenance agreements contain specific clause about the service company’s obligation to conduct the ecologically correct discard.

The replacement of 50% of 255 mercury lamps by other sodium steam lamps, in 178 posts installed on the streets of Cidade de Deus (headquarters), and the exchange over the past 3 years of approximately 30,000 40 Watts lamps with 32 Watts has substantially reduced the energy consumption, without losing the lighting efficiency.

7) Electricity and Water 
 

With a view to rationing electricity and water consumption, we destined an area to manage the consumption of these strategic resources. Its attributions consist of managing agreements of demand for electricity with the concessionaires and permanent research of efficient and intelligent new technologies for our equipment, observing the environment preservation policy.

The Branches Network awareness about this issue has been deserved continual attention by indicating consumption targets for our units, based on size, quantity of equipment installed and headcount, as well as release of articles about the rational use of electricity and water.

For instance, we installed and guided the use of timing machines for the automatic turning-off of lamps and lights, allowing an easy utilization at scheduled hours. The turning-off of illuminations, non-used areas, and the employment of natural light have been encouraged.

Similar care is adopted in the acquisition and installation of air-conditioning systems, such as thermo-accumulation devices, which reduce the energy consumption in peak hours, and water treatment in its towers, without using chemical products.

We recommend the optimization in the use of lifts and air conditioning. We also recommend that equipment, energy consumers, is only turned on when under use.

Same concern is expressed as to the rational use of water. Thus, our Premises are periodically guided concerning the monthly follow-up of consumption and maintenance aiming at correcting possible leakage in valves, flushings and faucets. In addition, technical measures contributing to the water consumption reduction have been adopted, for instance, the replacement of mechanical faucets with automatic ones for use at headquarters Premises, amounting to 736 units.

The adequate garden watering, observing the best hour and periodicity, also has been deserved attention. There is a feasibility study related to the reuse of water that comes from the partial sewage treatment generated at head offices, with the purpose of watering and usage in the air conditioning towers. Also concerning the gardening areas, our headquarters maintain approximately 115,000m2 of green area, with more than 3 thousand trees cataloged under the replacement and planting program. Grass pruning, the collection of leaves and branches, add approximately 12 tons monthly. We have been using on an experimental basis, a crushing machine of such natural residues, preventing the discard in embankments and optimizing its utilization as organic fertilizer, the measure of which we intend to adopt, depending on its results.

182


8) ISOs 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Certifications – Building 
 

Bradesco is under a pre-analysis phase to obtain the ISOs 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certificates for the building “Avenida Paulista”, in the city of São Paulo. This is a 12-story building with three basements totally refurbished and adapted, aiming at complying with all the specifications and rules required for the referred certificates.

In September 2004, Bradesco adhered to Equator Principles, a set of rules that establishes environmental and social responsibility criteria developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank’s arm for granting of loan to projects exceeding the amount of US$ 50 million.

It is important to point out that the adoption of these principles is voluntary, with no dependence or support of IFC or the World Bank. Thus, the institutions which will adopt them must take them as basis for the development of practices and internal and individual policies.

By adhering to Equator Principles, Bradesco increases its commitment to the sustainable development and reaffirms its role as one of the largest financing companies of the country’s economic activity, besides providing significant opportunities for a responsible environmental management.

Bradesco’s Contributions to Social Issues 
 
 
1 – Global Compact 
 

Banco Bradesco S.A., at the beginning of November 2005, aligned with the corporate responsibility guidelines, supported Global Compact principles, assuming the commitment to promote actions to contribute for the development of a more inclusive and sustainable economy, increasing its performance within the social-environmental scope.

Global Compact is a result of an invitation made by the Secretary-General of the UN, Kofi Annan, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, in January 1999, to companies, NGOs and other governmental and civil entities, to follow and disclose the ten principles that guide it, concerning Human and Labor Rights, Environmental Protection and Anticorruption.

2 – BOVESPA Social Stock Exchange Program 
 

The Program was launched in June 2003 by BOVESPA and its brokers as a social initiative to raise funds for non-governmental organizations, being acknowledged by UNESCO as the first one in the world. The idea is to gather institutions of the Third Sector that need funds and investors (donors) willing to provide them. Thus, the NGOS get stronger and develop “investments” as “social profit”, that is, result in a fairer society, where thousands of children and youngsters may have better opportunities.

Management Report 
 

Dear Stockholders,

We are pleased to present the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. for the quarter ended on March 31, 2006, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law.

Among the material events in the first quarter of 2006 at Bradesco Organization, we point out the following:

In the 1st quarter, Bradesco recorded a Net Income of R$ 1.530 billion, equivalent to R$ 1.56 per stock and an annualized profitability of 33.60% on the final Stockholders’ Equity and of 34.58% on the average Stockholders’ Equity. The annualized return on Total Assets was 2.86%, compared to 2.54% in the same period of the previous year.

Due to the main activities developed by Bradesco Organization, taxes and contributions, including social security ones, paid or provisioned, in the period, added up to R$ 1.619 billion, equivalent to 105.77% of the Net Income.

The strict control of administrative expenses, jointly with the permanent effort for the increase in revenues, reflected on the improvement of the Operating Efficiency Ratio – IEO, accumulated for 12 months, from 44.80%, in December 2005, to 42.90%, in March 31.

At the end of the quarter, the realized Capital Stock was R$ 13 billion. Added up to Equity Reserves of R$ 7.375 billion, the Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$ 20.375 billion, with a growth of 23.20% compared to the same period of the previous year, corresponding to the equity amount of R$ 20.81 per stock.

It is important to point out that the Managed Stockholders’ Equity represents 9.45% of the consolidated Assets, which added up to R$ 216.391 billion, an increase of 13.12% over March/2005. Thus, the capital adequacy ratios reached 19.04% in the financial consolidated and 16.74% in the economic-financial consolidated, therefore higher than the minimum of 11% set forth by Resolution 2,099, as of 8.17.1994, of the National Monetary Council, in conformity with the Basel Committee. At the end of the quarter, the permanent assets to stockholders' equity ratio, compared to the Consolidated Reference Stockholders’ Equity, was 42.62% in the financial consolidated and 13.94% in the economic-financial consolidated, placed in the maximum limit of 50%.

Relatively to the provision in the Article 8 of the Circular 3,068, as of 11.8.2001, of the Central Bank of Brazil, Bradesco states it has financial capacity and intention to hold to maturity securities rated in the “securities held to maturity” category.

On March 31, global funds raised and managed by Bradesco Organization recorded a growth of 17.40% compared to the same period of the previous year, totaling R$ 324.920 billion, distributed as follows:

The balance of loan operations added up to R$ 84.426 billion at the end of the period, including in this amount:

In the Capital Markets Area, in support to the capitalization of companies, Bradesco intermediated the public placement of stocks and debentures, and also took part in structured operations, pointing out Credit Right Funds, which, in the period, added up to R$ 4.784 billion, corresponding to 32.25% of the total volume of issuances of stocks, debentures, promissory notes and FIDCs registered at the CVM –Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. Bradesco also assisted special operations, comprising mergers and acquisitions, Project Finance and corporate and financial restructurings.

Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência, with a strong operation in the Insurance, Supplementary Pension Plans and Savings Bonds areas, recorded on March 31 a Net Income of R$ 461.021 million and a Stockholders’ Equity of R$ 6.276 billion.

In compliance with the Instruction 381, of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, it is worth pointing out that, in the quarter, Bradesco Organization neither contracted nor had services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes not related to external audit in levels higher than 5% of the total costs thereto. The policy adopted observes the principles that preserve the Auditor’s independence, pursuant to internationally accepted criteria, i.e., the auditor must neither audit his/her own work nor carry out management duties in his/her client or promote his/her interests. In the social area, the Organization continues with its important work by means of the educational and assistance program developed by Fundação Bradesco, which maintains 40 Schools set up mainly in regions with social-economic needs, in all Brazilian States and in the Federal District. The program provides more than 108 thousand students with totally free education, including education courses targeted at youngsters and adults and initial and continued education of workers. Out of these, more than 50 thousand students of the elementary, middle and high schools and technical professional courses receive, also on a free basis, food, uniform, school supply and medical and dental assistance.

In the Human Resources Area, the focus continues on the professional qualification and development of the staff, by means of an intense training program, with more and more positive results in the improvement of assistance and in the efficiency of services provided. The assistance benefits, which try to ensure welfare, the improvement in the quality of life and safety of employees and their dependents, comprised, at the end of the quarter, 172,856 lives.

The performance and the results achieved ensure our commitment to offer always the best. In this sense, the support and trust of our stockholders and clients and the dedicated work of our employees and other collaborators were really important. We thank you all.

1) Operations

Banco Bradesco S.A. is a private-sector publicly-held company which, operating as a Multiple Bank, carries out all types of authorized banking activities through its commercial, foreign exchange, investment, consumer financing, housing loan and credit card portfolios. The Bank also operates in a number of other activities through its direct and indirect subsidiary companies, particularly in Leasing, Consortium Management, Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bonds activities. Operations are conducted within the context of the companies comprising the Bradesco Organization, working on an integrated manner in the market.

On December 21, 2005 Bradesco acquired the stock control of Banco do Estado do Ceará S.A. – BEC and its subsidiary (Note 4), whose process was concluded on January 3, 2006, date of the execution of the Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stocks and of the Special Stockholders’ Meeting which elected the new Managers.

2) Presentation of the Financial Statements

The financial statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. include the financial statements of Banco Bradesco S.A., its foreign branches and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and jointly controlled investments, in Brazil and Abroad, and Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). They were prepared based on accounting policies determined by Brazilian Corporate Law for the recording of operations, as well as the rules and instructions of the National Monetary Council (CMN), Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), Brazilian Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), and Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Agency for Supplementary Healthcare (ANS), and comprise the financial statements of the leasing companies based on the capital leasing method of accounting, whereby leased assets are reclassified to the leasing operations account.

Accordingly, for preparation purposes, intercompany investments, asset and liability account balances, revenue, expenses and unrealized profit were eliminated from these financial statements and, in the case of investments which are jointly controlled with other stockholders, asset, liability and income components were included in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the parent company's percentage capital ownership of each investee. Goodwill on the acquisition of investments in subsidiaries and in the jointly controlled investments is presented in deferred assets and minority interests in net income and stockholders’ equity are separately disclosed. The exchange variation arising from transactions of subsidiaries and foreign branches was allocated to the statement of income accounts according to the corresponding assets and liabilities from which it was originated.

The financial statements include estimates and assumptions, such as the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, the estimation of the fair value of certain financial instruments, provision for contingencies, other provisions, the quantification of technical provisions for insurance, pension plans and savings bonds and the determination of the useful economic life of specific assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

3) Significant Accounting Policies

a) Determination of net income

Income and expenses are determined on the accrual basis of accounting. Transactions with prefixed rates are recorded at their redemption amounts and income and expenses for the future period are recorded as a discount to the corresponding asset and liability accounts. Income and expenses of a financial nature are prorated daily and calculated based on the exponential method, except when relating to discounted notes or to cross-border transactions which are calculated based on the straight-line method. Post-fixed or foreign-currency-indexed transactions are adjusted to the balance sheet date.

The insurance and coinsurance premiums and commissions, net of premiums assigned in coinsurance and reinsurance and corresponding commissions, are appropriated to results upon issuance of the corresponding insurance policies and invoices and are deferred for appropriation on a straight-line basis over the terms of the insurance policies, during the risk coverage period, by means of recording and reversal of unearned premiums reserve and deferred selling expenses. The accepted coinsurance and retrocession operations are recorded based on the information received from other companies and the Brazilian Institute of Reinsurers (IRB), respectively.

The supplementary private pension plans contributions and life insurance premiums covering survival are recognized in income when effectively received.

The revenue from savings bonds plans is recognized at the time it is effectively received. The expenses for placement of bonds, classified as “Selling Expenses”, are recorded as they are incurred. Brokerage expenses are recorded when the saving bonds contributions are effectively received. The payment for draw redemptions is considered as expenses of the month when these occur.

The corresponding expenses for technical provisions for private pension plans and savings bonds are recorded at the same time as revenue there from is recognized.

b) Interbank investments

Purchase and sale commitments subject to unrestricted movement agreements are adjusted to mark-to-market. Other assets are recorded at acquisition cost, including income earned up to the balance sheet date, net of loss accrual, when applicable.

c) Marketable Securities

Trading securities – securities which are acquired for the purpose of being actively and frequently traded are adjusted to mark-to-market as a counter-entry to income for the period;

Securities available for sale – securities which are not specifically intended for trading purposes or as held to maturity are adjusted to mark-to-market as a counter-entry to a specific account in stockholders' equity, at amounts net of tax effects; and

Securities held to maturity – securities for which there exists intention and financial capacity for maintenance through to maturity are recorded at acquisition cost, plus income earned, as a counter-entry to income for the period.

d) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

These are classified based on management’s intended use thereof on the date of the operation and whether it was carried out for hedging purposes or not.

The derivative financial instruments, which do not comply with the hedging criteria established by BACEN, particularly derivatives used to manage general exposure to risk, are recorded at market values, with the corresponding mark-to-market adjustments taken directly to income for the period.

203


e) Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables with characteristics of loan granting and allowance for doubtful accounts

Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts and other receivables with characteristics of loan granting are classified at their corresponding risk levels in compliance with: (i) the parameters established by CMN Resolution2682, at nine levels from “AA” (minimum risk) to “H” (maximum risk); and (ii) management’s risk level assessment. This assessment, which is carried out on a periodic basis, considers current economic conditions, and past loan loss experience, as well as specific and general risks relating to operations, borrowers and guarantors. Moreover, the length of the delay in payment defined in CMN Resolution 2682 is also taken into account for customer risk classification purposes as follows:

Past-due period  Customer classification 
   
  • From 15 to 30 days 
  • From 31 to 60 days 
  • From 61 to 90 days 
  • From 91 to 120 days 
  • From 121 to 150 days 
  • From 151 to 180 days 
  • More than 180 days 

The accrual of loan operations past due up to 59 days is recorded in revenues from loan operations and subsequent to the 60th day, in unearned income.

Past-due operations classified at “H” level remain at this level for six months, subsequent to which time they are written-off against the existing allowance and controlled over a five-year period in memorandum accounts, no longer being recorded in balance sheet accounts.

Renegotiated operations are maintained with a classification equal to their prior rating. Renegotiated operations, already written-off against the provision and which are recorded in memorandum accounts, are classified at “H” level and the possible revenues derived from their renegotiation are recognized as revenue only when they are effectively received.

In the case of mortgage loans, the contractual capitalization period (monthly or quarterly) for income appropriation purposes complies with applicable legislation and end-borrower financings are adjusted to the present value of the installments receivable.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded at an amount considered sufficient to cover estimated losses and considers BACEN requirements and instructions, as well as Management’s appraisal of the related credit risks.

f) Income tax and social contribution (asset and liability)

Tax credits, income tax and social contribution, calculated on tax losses, negative basis of social contribution and temporary additions are recorded in “Other receivables - Sundry”, and the provision for deferred tax liabilities on excess depreciation and mark-to-market adjustments of securities is recorded in “Other liabilities – Fiscal and pension plan activities”. Only tax credits which have already acquired tax deductibility rights are recorded on goodwill amortization.

Tax credits on temporary additions are realized upon use and/or reversal of the corresponding provisions on which they were recorded. Tax credits on tax losses and negative basis of social contribution will be realized as taxable income is generated.

The provision for federal income tax is calculated at the standard rate of 15% of taxable income, plus an additional rate of 10%. The provision for social contribution is recorded at the rate of 9% of pre-income tax. Provisions were recorded for other taxes and social contributions in accordance with specific applicable legislation.

g) Prepaid expenses

This records investments of resources in prepayments, whose benefits or service provision will take place in subsequent years.

h) Investments

The investments in subsidiaries, shared control subsidiaries and affiliated companies (when relevant) are valuated by the equity accounting method. The financial statements of the foreign branches and subsidiaries are adjusted to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, translated into Reais and their related effects recognized in income for the period.

The exchange membership certificates of Stock Exchanges, the Custody and Settlement Chamber (CETIP) and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) are recorded at their unaudited book values, informed by the corresponding exchanges, and fiscal incentives and other investments were recorded at acquisition cost, less the provision for losses, when applicable.

204


i) Fixed assets

This is shown at acquisition cost, net of respective accumulated depreciations, calculated by the straight-line method according to estimated useful-economic life of assets of which: real estate in use – 4% p.a.; furnishings and fixtures, machinery and equipment – 10% p.a.; transport systems – 20% p.a.; and data processing systems – 20% to 50% p.a

j) Deferred charges

These are recorded at the amount of the liabilities and include related charges up to the balance sheet date, on a daily pro rata basis.

Goodwill on the acquisition of investments in subsidiary companies, and shared control subsidiaries based on expected future results, is amortized at rates of 10% to 20% per annum and is presented in deferred charges.

k) Deposits and funds obtained in the open market

These are recorded at the amount of the liabilities and include related charges up to the balance sheet date, on a daily pro rata basis.

l) Technical provisions relating to insurance, private pension plans and savings bonds activities

Technical provisions are calculated according to actuarial technical notes approved by SUSEP and ANS, and criteria set forth by CNSP Resolution 120/2004.

– The provision of unearned premiums is comprised of retained premiums which are deferred during the term of effectiveness of the insurance agreements, determining the pro-rata-die value of the unearned premium of the period of the risk to accrue (future risk of policies in effect).

– The provision of claims incurred but nor reported (IBNR) is calculated on an actuarial basis to quantify the amount of claims incurred in assumed risks and not reported by those insured/beneficiaries. The provision is established net of recoveries of co-insurance and re-insurance.

– The provision of unsettled claims is established based on the estimates of payments of indemnities, net of recoveries of co-insurance and re-insurance, pursuant to notices of claims received from those insured until the balance sheet date.

The provision is monetarily restated and includes all the claims under litigation.

– The mathematical provision of benefits to be granted refers to participants whose benefits have not started yet. The mathematical provision of benefits granted refers to participants already using the benefits. Mathematical provisions related to private pension plans known as “traditional” represent the difference between the current value of the future benefits and the current value of the future contributions, corresponding to the obligations assumed under the form of supplementary pension plans, disability, pension and savings funds. They are calculated according to the methodology and assumptions set forth in Actuarial Technical Notes. The provisions linked to life insurance covering survival (VGBL) and to the private pension plans of the “unrestricted benefits generating” (PGBL) category represent the amount of the contributions made by the participants, net of loadings and other contractual charges, plus financial earnings generated by the investment of resources in investment funds specially established (FIEs).

– The contribution insufficiency provision is constituted to complement the mathematical provisions of benefits to be granted and granted, should they not be sufficient to guarantee future commitments. The provision is calculated on an actuarial basis and takes into consideration the actuarial table AT-2000.

– The financial fluctuation provisions is established until the limit of 15% of the mathematical provision of benefits to be granted related to the private pension plans in the category of variable contribution with guarantee of earnings to meet possible financial fluctuations.

– The administrative expenses provision is constituted to cover administrative expenses of the defined benefit and variable contribution plans. It is calculated in conformity with the methodology set forth in the Actuarial Technical Note.

– The mathematical provision for redemptions is calculated on nominal amounts of savings bonds and monetarily restated, when applicable, based on Actuarial Technical Notes approved by SUSEP.

– The provisions for redemptions are established by the values of the expired savings bonds and also by the values of the savings bonds which have not expired but whose redemption has been early required by the clients. The provisions are monetarily restated based on the indexes estimated in each plan.

– The provisions for unrealized and payable draws are constituted to meet premiums arising from future draws (unrealized) and also to premiums arising from draws in which clients were already selected (payable).

205


m) Other assets and liabilities

The assets were stated at their realizable amounts, including, when applicable, related income and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis), and provision for loss, when deemed appropriate. The liabilities include known or estimated amounts, plus related charges and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis).

Bradesco Organization does not recognize on an accounting basis the assets contingencies, while it is not effectively ensured that these are obtained in final decision to which remedies are no longer suitable.

(1)     
For comparison purposes, the criterion adopted by Central Bank of Brazil’s Circular 3068 and due to securities characteristics, we are considering the derivative financial instruments under the category “Trading Securities”;
(2)     
These refer to assets under management funds applied in purchase and sale commitments with Banco Bradesco, the owners of which are subsidiaries, included in the consolidated financial statements;
(3)     
The investment fund quotas were distributed according to instruments composing the portfolio and preserving the classification of funds category;
(4)     
In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of BACEN Circular 3068, Bradesco declares that it has both the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified in the ‘securities held to maturity’ category. This financial capacity is evidenced in Note 32a, which presents the maturities of asset and liability operations on the reference date of March 31, 2006;
(5)     
The number of days to maturity was based on the maturity of the securities, regardless of their accounting classification;
(6)     
This column reflects book value subsequent to mark-to-market, except for securities held to maturity, whose market value is higher than the restated cost value in the amount of R$ 965,701 thousand (December 31, 2005 – R$ 793,018 thousand and March 31, 2005 – R$ 786,677 thousand); and
(7)     
The market value of securities is determined based on the market price available on the balance sheet date. In the event no market prices are available, amounts are estimated based on the prices quoted by dealers, on price definition models, quotation models or quotations for instruments with similar characteristics; in case of investment funds, the restated cost reflects the value of respective quotas already at market value.

e) Derivative financial instruments

Bradesco carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments, which are recorded in balance sheet or memorandum accounts, for its own needs and for customers. The derivative financial instruments, when used by the Bank, aim at hedging its asset and liability positions against the effect of exchange and interest rate variations. The derivatives generally represent future commitments for exchanging currencies or indices, or purchasing and selling other financial instruments according to the terms and dates set forth in the contracts. Under the option contracts, the purchaser is entitled, but not obliged, to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specific strike price in the future.

d) Since 2003, Bradesco Organization has been entering into certain agreements designed to optimize its funding and liquidity management activities through the use of Specific Purposes Entities (SPEs). These SPEs, named Brazilian Merchant Voucher Receivables Limited and International Diversified Payment Rights Company, are financed through long-term liabilities and settled through the future cash flows of the corresponding assets, which basically comprise:

(i) current and future flows of money orders remitted by individuals and corporate entities located abroad to beneficiaries in Brazil for which the Bank acts as paying agent; and

(ii) current and future flows of credit card receivables arising from expenses made in Brazilian territory by holders of credit cards issued outside Brazil.

The long-term securities issued by the SPEs and sold to investors will be settled through funds derived from the money order flows and credit card bills. Bradesco is obliged to redeem these securities in specific cases of default or if the SPEs’ operations are discontinued.

The funds derived from the sale of current and future money orders and credit card receivables, received by the SPEs, must be maintained in a specific bank account until such time as a specific minimum limit is attained.

18) Contingent Liabilities

The Bradesco Organization is currently a defendant in a number of legal suits in the labor, civil and tax spheres, arising from the normal course of its business activities.

The provisions were recorded based on the opinion of the legal advisors, the types of lawsuit, similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and jurisprudence and prior court sentences, whenever loss is deemed probable.

Bradesco’s Management considers that the provision recorded is sufficient to cover losses generated by the corresponding legal proceedings.

Labor claims

These are claims brought by former employees seeking indemnity, especially, the payment of unpaid overtime. Following the effective control over working hours implemented in 1992, via electronic time cards, overtime is paid regularly during the employment contract and accordingly, claims on an individual basis subsequent to 1997 substantially reduced its amounts.

Civil lawsuits

These are claims for pain and suffering and property damages, mainly protests, bounced checks and the inclusion of names in the restricted credit registry.

In general, the amounts under dispute are unlikely to affect financial results since more than 60% of new lawsuits were brought at the small claims court, i.e., for amounts of less than the maximum limit of 40 minimum wages. Moreover, approximately 50% of these lawsuits are judged unfounded and the average cost of each indemnity is nearly 5% of the total amount claimed.

At present, there are no significant administrative lawsuits in course, moved as a result of the lack of compliance with National Financial System regulations or payment of fines, which could cause representative impacts on the Bank’s financial results.

c) Interest on own capital

Non-voting preferred stocks are entitled to all rights and benefits attributed to common stocks and, in conformity with Bradesco’s Bylaws, have priority to repayment of capital and 10% additional interest on own capital and/or dividends, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1, item II of Article 17 of Law 6404/1976, as amended by Law 10,303/2001.

In conformity with Bradesco’s Bylaws, stockholders are entitled to interest on own capital and/or dividends, which total, at least, 30% of net income for the year, adjusted in accordance with Brazilian corporate laws.

Interest on own capital is calculated based on the stockholders' equity accounts and limited to the variation in the long-term interest rate (TJLP), subject to the existence of profits, computed prior to the deduction thereof, or of retained earnings and profit reserves in amounts that are equivalent to, or exceed twice the amount of such interest.

Banco Bradesco S.A.’s capital compensation policy, aims at distributing the interest on own capital, at the maximum amount calculated in conformity with the prevailing laws, which is estimated, net of Withholding Income Tax, in the calculation of mandatory dividends of the year provided for in the Company’s Bylaws.

In a meeting held on November 11, 2005, Bradesco’s Board of Directors approved the Board of Executive Officers’ proposal of October 10, 2005, for the payment of supplementary interest on own capital to the Company’s stockholders referring to the year 2005, in the amount of R$1.755955872 per common stock and R$1.931551459 per preferred stock, which represent approximately 30.8 times the interest monthly paid, benefiting the stockholders registered at the Bank on that date (November 11, 2005).

The payment shall be made on April 28, 2006, by the net amount of R$ 1.492562491 per common stock and R$ 1.641818741 per preferred stock, already deducting the fifteen per cent (15%) withholding income tax, except for the corporate stockholders already exempted from the referred taxation, which will receive by the declared amount.

A distribution of dividends at the amount of R$ 344,000 thousand was proposed, supplementing the interest on own capital for the 2005, of which R$ 0.334531 are common stocks and R$ 0.367984 are preferred stocks, to be paid on June 30, 2006, at the amount previously declared, with no withholding income tax, according to Article 10, Law 9249/95.

The calculation of Interest on own capital related to the 1st quarter of 2006 is shown as follows:

32) Financial Instruments

a) Risk Management Process

Bradesco approaches on a comprehensive and integrated basis the management of all risks inherent to its activities, supported on its Internal Control and Compliance structure.

Credit Risk Management

Credit Risk is the possibility of a counterparty of a loan or financial operation might neither intend nor suffer any change in its ability to comply with its contractual liabilities, thus may generate any risk of loss for the Organization.

As part of its Credit Risk Management improvement process, Bradesco has been working uninterruptedly to improve the procedures for gathering and controlling portfolio information, developing and improving loss estimation models to examine and prepare the rating inventories used in the follow-up of credit analysis, granting and settlement processes, monitoring credit concentration and identifying new components offering credit risks and preparing risk mitigation strategies.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is related to the possibility of loss of income from fluctuating rates caused by mismatched maturities, currencies and indices of the Institution's asset and liability portfolios.

Bradesco adopts a conservative policy regarding market risk exposure, being VaR (Value at Risk) limits defined by Senior Management, and compliance monitored on a daily basis by an area which is independent from portfolio management. The methodology used to determine VaR has a reliability level of 97.5% . The fluctuations and correlations used by the models are calculated on statistical bases that are used on forward-looking processes, in accordance with economic studies. The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

In the chart below, we show Global VaR positions (Treasury, position in Brazil and abroad, and Trade Portfolio):

Investments abroad protected by hedge operations are not being considered in the VaR calculation, as these are strategically managed and on a differential basis, in amounts taking into account the tax effects, which minimize the sensitivity to risks and corresponding impacts on results, as well as foreign notes positions, which are matched with funding.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management is designed to control the different unhedged settlement terms of the Organization's rights and obligations, as well as the liquidity of the financial instruments used to manage the financial positions.

33) Employee Benefits

Banco Bradesco and its subsidiaries sponsor a supplementary private pension plan for employees and directors. The unrestricted benefits generating plan (PGBL) is of the variable contribution type, which permits the accumulation of savings by participants over their professional careers through contributions paid by themselves and the sponsoring company. The related resources are invested in an Exclusive Financial Investment Fund – FIE.

The PGBL is managed by Bradesco Vida e Previdência S.A. and BRAM – Bradesco Asset Management S.A. DTVM is responsible for the financial management of the FIE funds.

The contributions paid by employees and directors of Bradesco and its subsidiaries are equivalent to 4% of salary, except for participants who in 2001 opted to migrate to the PGBL plan from the variable benefits plan, whose contributions to the PGBL plan were maintained at the levels in force for the defined benefits plan at the time of migration, respecting nevertheless the 4% minimum.

The actuarial liabilities of the defined contribution plan (PGBL) are fully covered by the net assets of the corresponding FIE fund.

In addition to the aforementioned variable contribution plan (PGBL), former participants of the defined benefits plan are guaranteed a proportional deferred benefit, corresponding to their accumulated rights in the latter plan. For participants of the defined benefits plan, transferred or not to the PGBL plan, retired participants and pensioners, the present value of the plan’s actuarial liabilities is fully covered by guaranteeing assets.

Banco Alvorada S.A. (merging company of Banco Baneb S.A., which had previously merged Banco BEA) maintains a supplementary pension plan managed by Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do BEA – CABEA, which is currently undergoing a sponsorship withdrawal process, with reference date established on November 30, 2002 and whose sponsor’s contributions ceased from December 1, 2002. Participants also no longer contribute as from the same date. The plan’s actuarial liabilities are fully covered by the plan’s net assets.

Banco Alvorada S.A. (merging company of Banco Baneb S.A.) sponsors supplementary pension plans of both variable contribution (PGBL) and defined benefit types, through Fundação Baneb de Seguridade Social – BASES (for former Baneb employees). The actuarial liabilities of the variable contribution and defined benefit plans are fully covered by the net assets of the plans.

Banco BEM S.A. sponsors supplementary pension plans of both variable benefit and defined contribution types, through Aid Fund and Retirement of Banco do Estado do Maranhão’s Employees – CAPOF. The actuarial liabilities of the variable benefit and defined contribution plans are fully covered by the net assets of the plans.

Banco BEC S.A. sponsors a defined benefit plan by means of Cabec – Caixa de Previdência Privada do Banco do Estado do Ceará. The actuarial liabilities of the plan are fully covered by the net assets of the plan.

The funds guaranteeing the private pension plans are invested in compliance with applicable legislation (government bonds and private securities, listed company’s stock and real estate properties).

Bradesco and its facilities abroad provide its employees and managers with a private pension plan with variable contribution, which enables to accumulate financial resources during the professional career of the participant, by means of contributions paid by himself/herself and in equal proportion by Bradesco. The contributions of employees and managers and of Bradesco in its facilities overseas are jointly equivalent to at most 5% of the annual salary of the benefit.

Expenses with contributions made during 1Q06 amounted to R$ 79,098 thousand (4Q05 – R$ 87,404 thousand and 1Q05 – R$ 64,786 thousand).

In addition, Bradesco and its subsidiaries offer their employees and directors a number of other benefits including: healthcare insurance, dental care, group life and personal accident insurance, as well as professional training, the expenses for which, including the aforementioned contributions, amounted to R$ 310,305 thousand in 1Q06 (4Q05 – R$ 324,794 thousand and 1Q05 – R$278,806 thousand).

Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404: established to restore confidence in the financial information disclosed by companies listed in the U.S. stock exchanges. The U.S. politicians, Sarbanes (senator) and Oxley (federal congressman) drew up legislation to provide improved orientation on the following: clarity in the presentation of financial information, corporate governance, internal controls process and independence of the independent auditors and increased assurance procedures. Pursuant to Section 404, both companies and their auditors must identify all key controls for each of their processes and test thoroughly the effectiveness and management appraisal capacity of these controls.

Securitization: is the financial transaction whereby a loan and other debts are converted into securities which are negotiable in the market.

SMS: short message service, used in cell phones. The service allows the user to send and receive text messages containing different types of information.

Social responsibility: is the philosophy whereby certain companies conduct their business as a partner, co-responsible for social development. The socially responsible company is capable of assimilating the interests of different stakeholders (stockholders, employees, service providers, suppliers, consumers, community, government and environment), ensuring that these interests are fully integrated into the planning of its activities, in the pursuit to meet the demands of all segments, not just those of the stockholders or owners.

Sovereign risk: this is an index calculated by the US investment bank J. P. Morgan used to measure the degree of risk to which a foreign investor is exposed when investing in a particular country. Technically, this risk is the surcharge payable in relation to the guaranteed returned on US treasury bonds, since the US is considered to offer less risk to investors. Every 100 points represent 1% of additional interest as compared to US interest.

Spread: this is the difference between the interest rate charged to the borrower by the bank and the rate paid to customers for the use of the funds invested.

Stock guide: this is a report used as a guide for those interested in accompanying the performance of the secondary share market and an important tool for use in capital market area studies. Its content is updated periodically and includes information on all major listed companies. The inclusion of companies in this report is directly related to their share liquidity. The companies are grouped under different sectors, facilitating a comparative analysis of their performance (share behavior and profitability) in their own activity segment and between the different sectors.

Stress testing: a technique used to assess the response of an asset and/or liability portfolio to extreme variations in the prices, interest and exchange rates which affect these portfolios. The purpose of the stress test is to quantify possible loss on the portfolio in the event of an adverse market situation.

Structured transactions: a combination of two or more financial instruments (e.g. a purchase and sale commitment + Swap), designed to take advantage of market opportunities or secure protection against financial risks.

Subordinated debt: this is an instrument customarily used by financial institutions for obtaining funds since it is classified as tier II capital for purposes of calculating the capital adequacy ratio (Basel) and accordingly increases their credit granting capacity. In the event of bankruptcy, this debt is the ultimate obligation payable by the financial institution and is subordinate to the payment of all other creditors.

Subordinated perpetual debt: this is a security without maturity, which pays interest on a periodical basis on dates set out in advance. It includes an exclusive redemption option for the issuer after the term contractually determined has elapsed as from the issuance date.

Supplementary private pension plan: a method used to accumulate resources over the years in the form of savings to be withdrawn during retirement. This plan is supplementary to the government retirement pension scheme.

Sustainability: assumes that the companies will commit with the economic-social-environmental tripod, i.e., value generation, environmental care and social development.

Swap: financial derivative with a view to promoting the swap (simultaneously) of financial assets between economic agents involved.

Tag Along: right assured by law through which the minority stockholders holding common stocks have the power of selling their stocks for a predetermined percentage, when a publicly-held company’s control is sold.

Technical reserves: these are liabilities recorded by the insurance companies to guarantee the payment to policyholders of claims occurred or which will occur in the future as a result of the risks assumed. For the supplementary private pension entities and savings bonds companies, these liabilities comprise the amounts accumulated with funds derived from the cost of the benefits contracted, for payment purposes of such benefits. All technical reserves are calculated established on actuarial bases.

Third-party position: securities with repurchase commitments not subject to resale commitments, i.e., they are the institutions own portfolio securities related to the open market, recorded as fixed income securities – subject to repurchase.

Track record: accumulated experience.

Treasury stocks: own company stocks acquired to remain in treasury or for further cancellation.

Underwriting: term used internationally to define the launching of stocks or debentures for public subscription, generally carried out by financial institutions authorized by the CVM, via three types of contracts: straight (the financing institution subscribes the total launch and payment is made directly to the issuing company), stand-by (the financing company is bound to subscribe the securities not acquired by the public) and best-efforts (the financing company does not assume the responsibility to subscribe the securities and returns those that were not acquired by the public to the issuing company).

Verified by Visa: electronic means of debit and credit card transactions verification at virtual stores, providing clients with greater protection and security.

VGBL (Long-term life insurance): this is a life insurance guaranteeing insured’s coverage in case of his/her survival with a view to accumulating funds and converting them into future income. It works as a private pension plan, as it was developed based on PGBL. VGBL is very flexible, since amongst other facilities, it allows that funds invested in this plan may be redeemed at any time (observing the grace period). The most important difference between PGBL and VGBL is the tax treatment given to each one. While in PGBL income tax is levied over the total redeemed or received as income, in VGBL the taxation occurs only over financial investments yields, according to prevailing laws (progressive or regressive tables). VGBL is more indicated for those participants submitting simplified income tax return. In addition, this is an option for those insured who already exceeded the limit of income tax deduction in a supplementary private pension plan (12%) and who are planning to invest a bit more in his/her future.

V@R (value at risk): is the expected maximum potential loss of an asset and/or liability portfolio with pre-established confidence level and over a specific time horizon.

Web point: this is a self-service terminal providing access to Internet Banking services.

WebTA: is the online transfer of files between the Bank and its corporate customers with security, efficiency and economy, using cryptography and data compaction.

Wireless: this technology permits connection between equipment with no direct physical link. For example, internet access by cell phones is made feasible through the use of wireless technology.
