Forward-Looking Statements 
 

This Report on Economic and Financial Analysis contains forward-looking statements relating to our business. Such statements 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, however, do not guarantee future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, which could be beyond our control. Furthermore, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that, depending on 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 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 in loan operations, with the consequent increase in the allowance for loan losses; loss of funding capacity; loss of clients or revenues; our capacity to sustain and improve performance; changes in interest rates which could, among other events, adversely affect our margins; competition in the banking sector, financial services, credit card services, insurance, asset management and other related sectors; government regulations and fiscal matters; disputes or adverse legal proceedings or rulings; as well as credit risks and other loan and investment activity risks.

Accordingly, the reader should not rely excessively on these forward-looking statements. These statements are valid only as of the date they were prepared. 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 for any other motive.

 
Few numbers of this Report were submitted to rounding adjustments.
Therefore, amounts indicated as total in certain charts may not correspond to the arithmetic 
sum of figures preceding them.

Net Income and Profitability 
 

In 4Q09, Net Income was R$2,181 million, an increase of 20.4% or R$370 million on the previous quarter. Net Income in the quarter was mainly impacted by: (i) the R$388 million net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); (ii) R$111 million in expenses related to the constitution of a provision for civil liabilities for claims related to impacts from implementation of economic plans; and (iii) gross gain of R$53 million from partial divestment of the investment in Cetip. Meanwhile, Net Income in 3Q09 was impacted by: (i) the gross gain of R$410 million from the sale of the overallotment shares in Cielo; and (ii) R$387 million in expenses related to the constitution of a provision for civil liabilities for claims related to impacts from implementation of economic plans.

In the fiscal year, Net Income came to R$8,012 million, up 5.1% or R$387 million from the previous quarter, despite the negative impacts from the economic contraction in the first half of 2009.

Shareholders’ Equity was R$41,754 million on December 31, 2009, increasing by 21.9% on the previous year. The Capital Adequacy Ratio ended 2009 at 17.8%, 14.8% of which under Tier I Reference Assets.

The main items that contributed to this result are described below. Note that Banco Ibi’s income accounts were consolidated as of November 2009.

Efficiency Ratio 
 

In December 2009, Bradesco’s Efficiency Ratio* stood at 41.0%, representing improvement of 0.7 p.p. from the end of the previous quarter. The decline was basically due to the higher revenue, in particular financial margin and fee and commissions, which were partially offset by the increase in personnel and administrative expenses.

Compared to 2008, the 2.3 p.p. increase was mainly due to the higher revenue from financial margin and fee and commissions, which were offset by the constitution of allowances for contingencies related to economic plans and by higher personnel and administrative expenses.

* Efficiency Ratio (ER) in last 12 months = Personnel Expenses – Employee Profit Sharing (PLR) + Administrative Expenses / Financial Margin + Income from Insurance + Fee and Commission Income + Equity in the Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Companies – Other Operating Expenses + Other Operating Income. If we considered the ratio between total administrative costs (Personnel Expenses + Administrative Expenses + Other Operating Expenses + Tax Expenses not related to revenue generation) and revenue net of related taxes (not considering Claims Expenses from the Insurance Group), our 4Q09 Efficiency Ratio would be 41.3%

11


 
Financial Margin 
 


The decline of R$119 million between the third and fourth quarters of 2009 was due to:

• the R$372 million reduction in non-interest income caused by the lower treasury/securities gains; and

offset by:

• the increase in income from interest-earning operations of R$253 million, due to the higher average business volume.

In the comparison between fiscal years, financial margin improved by R$6,587 million, or 28.5%, driven by the following factors:

• the increase of R$4,290 million in the result of interest-earning operations, basically due to the higher average business volume; and

• the increase in non-interest income of R$2,297 million, basically derived from higher treasury/securities gains.

Total Loan Portfolio 
 

In December 2009, loan operations (considering sureties, guarantees, advances of credit card receivables and assignment of receivables-backed investment funds and mortgage-backed securities) totaled R$228.1 billion. This expansion of 5.8% in the quarter was due to growth of 8.7% in the Individuals portfolio, 7.7% in the SME portfolio and 1.7% in the Large Corporate portfolio.

In the comparison between fiscal years, the portfolio expanded by 6.8%, as a result of the following growth rates: Individuals 11.5%, SMEs 11.2% and Large Corporate -0.6% .

In the Corporate segment, the products registering the strongest growth were: mortgages - corporate plans, operations abroad, BNDES/Finame onlendings and working capital. In the Individuals segment, growth was led by credit cards and payroll-deductible loans.

The above information includes Banco Ibi, since this institution’s asset accounts began to be consolidated into Bradesco as of October 2009. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the Banco Ibi operations, the portfolio grew by 4.0%, composed of 3.7% growth in the Individuals portfolio and 7.2% growth in the SME portfolio, while in fiscal year 2009, this increase was 4.9% on the previous year, composed of 6.4% growth in the Individuals Portfolio and 10.6% growth in the SME portfolio. In both periods, the Large Corporate portfolio remained stable.


 
Allowance for Loan Losses (PLL)* 
 

In 4Q09, the balance of expenses with the allowance for loan losses fell by 7.3% from the previous quarter, due to the decrease in the allowance, which occurred despite the 5.8% expansion in the loan portfolio in that quarter. Bear in mind that the increase recorded in the line Allowance for Loan Losses (inventory)/Loan Portfolio was impacted by the effects of the Banco Ibi merger.

In the comparison of fiscal years, the variation is essentially due to the constitutions required to adjust provisioning levels in view of the weak economic performance, especially in the first six months of 2009, as well as the builds in the Allowance for Loan Losses resulting from rating reviews.


13


Delinquency Ratio > 90 days 
 

The delinquency ratio for credits overdue more than 90 days decreased in 4Q09, benefitted by the improvement in economic indicators resulting from the gradual recovery in economic activity, which fueled growth in loan operations in the quarter. Bradesco ended 4Q09 with a delinquency ratio of 4.9%, indicating an improvement trend.

For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the Banco Ibi operations in 4Q09, the 90-day delinquency ratio was 4.7%, while in the Individuals segment, where the credits from the acquired institution are concentrated, this ratio fell from 7.4% to 7.0% .


Coverage Ratio 
 

The balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses of R$16.3 billion in December 2009 is composed of R$13.3 billion in provisions required by the Central Bank of Brazil and R$3.0 billion in additional provisions.

The graph below presents the coverage ratio of the Allowance for Loan Losses for loans overdue more than 90 days. In December 2009, the ratio stood at 174.6%, representing a comfortable level of provisioning.

Results of the Insurance, Private Pension and Savings Bond Operations 
 

Net Income in 4Q09 was R$828 million (R$607 million in 3Q09), for Return on Average Equity of 37.2% . Net Income in fiscal year 2009 was R$2.723 billion (R$2.648 billion in 2009), for Return on Average Equity of 27.1% .

Continuing to bolster its technical provisions, in the fourth quarter, Bradesco Vida e Previdência concluded the reduction, from 4.3% p.a. to 4% p.a., in the real interest rate used to calculate the provision for insufficient contribution (PIC) and the provision for administrative expenses (PDA). The impacts on Net Income in fiscal year 2009 from the adoption of this methodology was R$507 million.


In 4Q09, revenue grew by 20.3% . Meanwhile, Net Income was 36.4% higher than in the prior quarter due to: (i) the significant improvement in its main performance indicators; (ii) the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); and (iii) equity income in the period, combined with the constitution of a provision for insufficient contribution (PIC) and a provision for administrative expenses (PDA) due to the reduction, from 4.3% p.a. to 4% p.a., in the real interest rate used to calculate these reserves.

Revenue in fiscal year 2009 was R$26.3 billion, an increase of 13.8% on the prior year. Meanwhile, Net Income was 2.8% higher than in 2008, due to: (i) the better financial result, despite the reduction in interest rates; (ii) the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); (iii) the higher equity income; which was partially offset by: (iv) the constitution of the technical provisions described above; and (v) the increase of 6% in the CSLL tax rate.

In November 2009, Net Income at Bradesco’s Insurance Group accounted for 36.5% of net income in Brazil’s entire insurance industry and 49.9% of the net income from insurers associated with banks (Source: Insurance Superintendence – Susep).

Meanwhile, the Insurance Group’s technical provisions represented 31.8% of the insurance industry in November 2009, according to Susep and the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS).

In terms of solvency, Bradesco’s Insurance Group complies with the Susep rules that took effect on January 1, 2008, and also with international standards (Solvency II). The financial leverage ratio stood at 2.4 times Shareholders’ Equity.

15


 
Fee and Commission Income 
 

In 4Q09, Fee and Commission Income was R$3,125 million, representing a significant increase of 9.4% on the previous quarter. This growth was led by the solid performance of income from credit cards, which was impacted by the merger of Banco Ibi and by higher underwriting income.

In the comparison between fiscal years, the increase of 8.1% was fueled by growth in credit card operations and the strong performance of underwriting operations, as well as by the larger business and client base, which expanded some 4.0% over the last 12 months.


 
Personnel Expenses 
 

In 4Q09, the R$45 million drop versus the previous quarter is composed of variations in the following portions:

• “structural” – R$57 million increase related to the increase in salary levels (6.0% increase under the collective bargaining agreement), higher expenses with labor obligations and the Banco Ibi merger; and

• “non-structural” – R$102 million reduction due to the build in 3Q09 in the provision for employee profit sharing (PLR), which was partially offset by higher expenses with employment contract terminations and the provision for labor claims.

In the comparison of fiscal years, the R$577 million increase is basically explained by:

• the R$505 million in “structural” expenses, which were basically related to higher expenses with share-based compensation and charges; and

• R$72 million in "non-structural expenses”, which was basically due to the build in the provision for employee profit sharing (PLR).


Note: Structural Expenses = Share-based compensation + Social Security Taxes + Benefits + Private Pension.
         Non-Structural Expenses = Employee Profit Sharing (PLR) + Training + Labor Provision + Employment Contract Termination Expenses.

16


 
Administrative Expenses 
 

Administrative Expenses grew by 16.4% in relation to 3Q09, mainly due to increases in the following items: (i) advertising and marketing expenses; (ii) third-party services; (iii) communication; and (iv) financial system services, mainly due to seasonality, higher business volume and the Banco Ibi merger in 4Q09.

In the comparison with fiscal year 2008, the 14.3% increase is mainly due to the expansion in the Customer Service Network, the higher business volume and the expansion in the client base.

 
Tax Expenses 
 

Tax Expenses posted a R$55 million increase on the prior quarter, basically due to the increase in taxable revenue, especially fee and commission income.

In the comparison between fiscal years, the 13.7% or R$305 million increase mainly derived from the higher expenses with PIS/Cofins taxes due to taxable revenue from the higher financial margin and fee and commission income in the period.


17


 
Other Operating Income and Expenses 
 

In 4Q09, other operating income net of other operating expenses increased by R$598 million on the previous quarter, primarily due to: (i) the R$388 million gain from the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); (ii) the lower expenses with contingency provisions, especially those related to government economic plans, in the amount of R$111 million in 4Q09, versus R$387 million in 3Q09; which was offset by (iii) the higher operating expenses of R$64 million, which were impacted by the Banco Ibi merger.

In the comparison of fiscal years, the increase in operating expenses net of other operating income of R$1,235 million basically results from the builds in operating provisions, most of which are related to provisions for contingencies involving government economic plans, which were partially offset by the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS).


18


 
Income Tax and Social Contribution 
 

The R$137 million variation in 4Q09 in relation to the previous quarter was basically impacted by the higher non-taxable income. It is important to point out that in 2009 the rate was 32.9%, compared with 33.1% in 2008.

In the comparison with fiscal year 2008, taxes and contributions contracted by 6.0% .

Tax credits from prior periods, which resulted from the increase in the CSLL tax rate to 15%, are recorded in the consolidated financial statements up to the limit of corresponding consolidated tax liabilities. The balance of unused tax credits is R$813 million. Further details can be found in Note 34 to the Financial Statements.


 
Unrealized Gains 
 

Unrealized gains totaled R$10,123 million in 4Q09, a decline of R$39 million from the previous quarter. The variation was mainly impacted by: (i) the R$890 million mark-to-market adjustment in the remaining investment in Cielo; which was offset by: (ii) the inclusion of the investments (OdontoPrev, Cetip and Laboratório Fleury, in the amount of R$967 million).


19


 
Economic Scenario 
 

Many of the most pessimistic economic analyses formulated in early 2009 did not materialize. Thanks to the adoption of unprecedented anti-cyclical economic policies, the worst of the crisis had already passed by the second quarter, followed by recovery in the global economy. However, in many cases these policies resulted in significant deterioration in fiscal situations and/or in interest rates, which reached near-zero levels. With the economic recovery continuing, though with the rate of recovery varying across economies, in the last quarter of 2009 debate centered on the best time to begin the "exit strategy", in other words, removing the stimulus measures adopted. This debate – which intensified in view of the financing difficulties faced by certain governments such as Greece, and the initial moves to normalize monetary policy in countries such as Australia and Norway – should continue over the next coming months.

Brazil, however, continues to show signs of rapid economic recovery. After a cumulative contraction of 3.8% between 4Q08 and 1Q09, Brazil’s GDP registered quarter-on-quarter growth rates of 1.1% and 1.3% in 2Q09 and 3Q09, respectively. The latest data show that capacity utilization in the manufacturing industry continues to rise and is already above the historical average, while job growth, especially in the formal sector, continues to register strong growth. More than just merely

recovering from a weak comparison base, Brazil’s economy has grown at an accelerated pace, though still with no significant inflationary pressures.

With these indicators and the prospects for the favorable scenario remaining in place, we have revised our forecast for Brazil GDP growth in 2010 to 6.0% . If confirmed, this strong growth would be substantially higher than the average annual rate in the last 30 years of 2.7%, and would represent one of the world’s highest economic growth rates. This robust expansion is expected to be driven primarily by the components of domestic demand, which should significantly outpace supply. This imbalance should in turn pose significant challenges for managing economic policy, which must be addressed by the government’s economic team with the seriousness that has characterized recent years. Therefore, we expect monetary policy to normalize, with the Selic basic interest rate rising from the current 8.75% to 11.75% by year-end 2010 and 12.75% by the end of the first quarter of 2011. However, this upward move in rates should not interrupt the expected strong economic expansion, should bring interest rates to below pre-crisis levels and should prevent uncontrolled inflation that could reduce real income levels and generate economic uncertainties.

Financial margin was R$29,730 million in 2009, 28.5% or R$6,587 million higher than in 2008. Note that a major portion of this increase comes from “interest” financial margin, which was positively impacted by the higher average volume of transactions, which contributed R$4,233 million, and by the higher average spread in the period, which contributed R$57 million.

In relation to 4Q09, financial margin contracted by 1.6% or R$119 million. This reduction reflects the R$372 million decline in “non-interest” financial margin, which was impacted by lower gains from “Securities/Other”.

Bradesco ended 2009 with strong growth in interest financial margin, due to its policy of transparency and adjusting its products to the potential demand from consumers.

In the comparison between fiscal year 2009 and 2008, interest financial margin grew by 18.7% or R$4,290 million. This growth was led by the “loans” line, which increased by R$3,942 million, details of which can be found in the item Loan Financial Margin – Interest.

In 4Q09, interest financial margin was R$7,144 million, compared with R$6,891 million in 3Q09, representing growth of R$253 million or 3.7% . The lines that most contributed to this growth were “Loans” and “Insurance”, the effects of which were offset by the decrease in the lines “Funding” and “Securities/Other”. In the line “loans”, the increase in average business volume had a positive impact of R$234 million, while lower spreads contributed negatively with R$11 million.

Interest Financial Margin Rates 
 

The annualized rate of interest financial margin in relation to total average assets was 7.8% in 4Q09, an increase of 0.2 p.p. from the previous quarter. In relation to 4Q08, the positive variation reflects the better funding conditions, with lower funding costs and a higher average volume of operations with individuals.

In 2009, interest financial margin from loan operations was R$20,078 million, compared with R$16,136 million in 2008, for growth of 24.4% or R$3,942 million. This variation was positively impacted by R$3,016 million from the higher average business volume, especially in the portfolios personal loans, real estate financing (Individuals and Corporate), credit cards (Individuals and Corporate) - which were boosted by the Banco Ibi merger, operations abroad, BNDES onlending and rural loans, in addition to improved margins.

In relation to 4Q09, interest financial margin from loan operations grew by 4.3% or R$223 million, driven by the higher average business volume, whose positive impact of R$$234 million was partially offset by the R$11 million reduction in the average spread.  Growth in this comparison period was led by the same portfolios that spurred growth in the comparison between fiscal years.

The increase in the individuals segment was due to Bradesco’s efforts to consolidate its prominent position in the market and to expand its relationship possibilities with clients. In the Corporate segment, growth was led by the SME segment.

Loan Financial Margin – Net Margin 
 

Obs.: Excludes additional allowance for loan losses (PLL): 2Q09 - R$1,303 million, 1Q09 - R$177 million and 4Q08 - R$597 million.

The above graph presents a summary of loan activity. The gross margin line refers to interest income from loans, net of opportunity cost (basically the accrued Interbank Deposit Certificate – CDI over rate in the period).

The curve for PLL shows delinquency costs, which are represented by the allowance for loan losses (PLL) expenses plus discounts granted in negotiations and net of loan recoveries, the result from the sale of foreclosed assets and other items.

The Net Margin curve presents the result of loan interest income, net of losses, which in 4Q09 recorded growth on the previous quarter of 19.4%, which was due to the lower delinquency costs and the higher average volume of operations.

Total Loan Portfolio 
 

Loan operations (including sureties, guarantees, advances of credit card receivables and assignments of receivables-backed investment funds and mortgage-backed receivables) ended 2009 at R$228.1 billion, for an increase of 6.8% in the last 12 months and 5.8% on a quarter earlier.

The above figures include Banco Ibi, since its operations were consolidated at Bradesco as of October 2009. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding Banco Ibi operations in the fourth quarter, this portfolio ended the year at R$224.1 billion, for growth of 4.9% in the last 12 months and 4.0% on a quarter earlier.

(1) December 2009 includes R$3.3 billion from the merger of Banco Ibi;
(2) includes loan assignments (receivables-backed investment funds) of R$351 million in December 2009, R$324 million in September 2009 and R$447 million in December 2008, including R$348 million from the merger of Banco Ibi;
(3) Includes loan assignments (mortgage-backed receivables) of R$378 million in December 2009, R$403 million in September 2009 and R$77 million in December 2008; and
(4) Includes loan assignments (receivables-backed investment funds) related to acquisitions of goods of R$24 million in December 2009, R$28 million in September 2009 and R$49 million in December 2008.

In the individuals segment, which recorded growth of 11.5% in the last 12 months, growth was led by operations with credit cards, payroll-deductible loans, real estate financing and rural loans. In 4Q09, this segment grew by 8.7% on the previous quarter, mainly due to credit card operations, which benefited from the addition of the Banco Ibi portfolio in the period, and to payroll-deductible loans. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the operations of Banco Ibi, the Individuals segment would have posted growth of 6.4% in the year and 3.7% in the quarter.

Total    145,993    140,008    139,956    4.3    4.3 
 

(1) Includes loan assignments (mortgage-backed receivables) of R$393 million in December 2009, R$396 million in September 2009 and R$238 million in December 2008; and
(2) 90.4% of surety and guarantees from Corporate clients are carried out with large corporations.

The corporate segment grew by 4.3% both in the last 12 months and in 4Q09. In 2009, the main highlights were real estate financing products – corporate plans, operations abroad, BNDES/Finame onlending and working capital. In the last quarter of 2009, growth was driven primarily by operations abroad, credit cards, real estate financing - corporate plans and sureties and guarantees.

 
Loan Portfolio – Consumer Financing 
 

The graph below shows the types of credit related to “Consumer Financing” to individuals (CDC/vehicle leasing, personal loans, financing of goods, revolving credit cards and cash and installment purchases from merchants).

Consumer financing amounted to R$65.3 billion, for growth of 10.3% in the quarter and of 13.1% in the last 12 months. Growth was led by the segments vehicle financing (CDC/Leasing) and payroll-deductible loans, which combined amounted to R$40.5 billion, accounting for 62.0% of the total consumer financing balance and, given the guarantees and characteristics, providing the portfolio with an adequate level of credit risk. Excluding the loan assignments (receivables-backed investment funds) in the periods assessed, growth in consumer financing would be 10.4% in the quarter and 13.5% in the last 12 months. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the balance from the Banco Ibi operations (credit card and personal loans), consumer financing operations would have totaled R$61.6 billion at the end of 2009, representing increases of 4.1% in the quarter and 6.8% in the year.

Portfolio Concentration – by Sector* 
 

The table below presents the distribution of the portfolio by sector of economic activity, which presented a slight increase in the share of Individuals, mainly due to the acquisition of Banco Ibi, where clients were mostly individuals.

Changes in the Loan Portfolio* 
 

The R$21.9 billion in assets from new service contracts offset the average volume of loans settled by existing clients and transfers to losses in the period, enabling growth of R$11.0 billion in the loan portfolio in the last 12 months. This fact demonstrates Bradesco’s excellent capacity to expand and diversify its client base, thereby avoiding portfolio concentration.

Loan Portfolio – by Client Portfolio 
 

The table below presents a breakdown of the loan portfolio by client types, with growth in the balance of the Individuals and Micro, Small and Mid-Sized Companies portfolios both in the quarter and in the year. In addition to organic growth, the Individuals portfolio benefited from the incorporation of the Banco Ibi operations in the fourth quarter. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the operations with Banco Ibi, the balance of the Individuals portfolio would have increased by 4.0% in the quarter and 6.3% in the year. The Large Corporations portfolio, on the other hand, was negatively affected primarily by the appreciation in the Brazilian real during 2009, as detailed in the item Loan Portfolio – By Currency.

Loan Portfolio – By Client Portfolio and Rating (%)
 

The reduction in the share of credits rated between “AA - C” continues to reflect the effects from the global financial crisis, which resulted in slower economic growth and temporarily reduced the ability of clients in certain sectors to meet their financial commitments.

Loan Portfolio – By Business Segment 
 

The table below shows the evolution in the shares of individual Business Segments in Bradesco’s total portfolio. Growth in the quarter was led by the Middle Market segment, while growth in 2009 was led by the Retail/Postal/Prime segments.

The Banco Ibi operations, which were incorporated in the fourth quarter, boosted growth in the group of companies composed of Bradesco Promotora de Vendas e Demais. For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the Banco Ibi operations, growth in this segment would be 10.5% in the quarter and 32.0% in the last 12 months. The reduction in Corporate operations mainly reflects the impact from local currency appreciation.

Loan Portfolio – By Currency 
 

In 2009, the share of operations denominated in foreign currencies remained steady, due to the appreciation in the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, which neutralized the strong growth in the average volume of foreign currency operations. In 4Q09, the share of operations in foreign currency registered slight growth.

The balance of foreign currency-indexed and/or denominated loans and onlending operations (excluding ACCs) totaled US$8.5 billion in December 2009, growing in U.S. dollar terms by 43.2% in the year and 21.5% in the quarter (and in Brazilian real terms by 6.7% and 18.9%, respectively). Foreign currency operations totaled R$14.8 billion (R$12.4 billion in September 2009 and R$13.9 billion in December 2008).

In December 2009, total loan operations with domestic currency reached R$176.2 billion (R$168.5 billion in September 2009 and R$166.1 billion in December 2008), representing an increase of 6.1% in the last twelve months.

Loan Portfolio - By Debtor 
 

Compared with the same position in the previous year and quarter, the credit exposure levels of the 100 largest debtors were less concentrated in the fourth quarter of 2009. This trend is also maintained after excluding the Banco Ibi portfolio.


40


 
Loan Portfolio – By Flow of Maturities 
 

The flow of maturities of performing loan operations and/or installments coming due increased in relation to 2008, mainly due to CDC/vehicle leasings and real estate financing operations which inherently have longer terms, but also have lower risk, due to the guarantees typically involved. The maturities of operations and/or installments with terms longer than 180 days represented 57.2% of the total portfolio in December 2009, versus 56.8% in both December 2008 and 3Q09.

41


 
Loan Portfolio – Delinquency over 90 days 
 

As expected, the delinquency ratio for operations overdue 90 days declined in 4Q09, benefited by the improvement in economic indicators in the period, driven by the gradual recovery in economic activity, which allowed for improvement in loan operations in the quarter. Bradesco’s ended the quarter with delinquency of 4.9% . For better comparison between previous periods and excluding the Banco Ibi operations, delinquency was 4.7% .

(*) Excluding Banco Ibi.

The graph below presents the slight decrease in December in delinquency for operations overdue from 61 to 90 days, which signals potential further declines in 90-day delinquency in the coming months.

(*) Excluding Banco Ibi.

42


Analysis of delinquency by client type shows that operations overdue from 61 to 90 days declined both for Individuals as well as for Corporations, suggesting that delinquency for operations overdue more than 90 days could continue to decline in the coming months.

PLL vs. Delinquency vs. Losses 
 

The total average volume of allowance for loan losses (PLL) was R$16.3 billion, corresponding to 8.5% of the total loan portfolio. The total allowance is composed of generic provisions (classification by client and/or operation), specific provision (non-performing) and excess provision (internal policies and criteria).

It is important to highlight the adequacy of the provisioning criteria adopted, which can be tested by analyzing the historical data for the allowances constituted for loan losses and the effective losses in the subsequent 12-month period. For instance, in December 2008, for an existing provision of 5.7% of the portfolio, the loss in the subsequent 12 months was 4.4% on that date, which means the existing provision covered the loss by a margin of more than 30%.

44


Analysis in terms of losses net recoveries shows a significant increase in the coverage margin. For instance: In December 2008, for an existing provision of 5.7% of portfolio, the net loss in the subsequent 12 months was 3.5% on that date, i.e., the existing provision covered the loss by a margin of more than 65%.

45


 
Allowance for Loan Losses 
 

Bradesco holds allowances in excess of Central Bank requirements of R$3.0 billion. The current provisioning levels reflect Bradesco’s cautious approach for supporting potential cyclical scenarios, such as higher delinquency levels and/or changes in the loan portfolio profile.


(*) Loan operations overdue more than 60 days and that do not generate revenue appropriation under accrual accounting method.

Interest Financial Margin         2,596         2,748    603    611         (152)   (8)
   

In 2009, the interest funding financial margin was R$2,596 million, compared with R$2,748 million in 2008, for an increase of 5.5% or R$152 million. This variation was positively impacted by R$556 million from the implementation of new funding policies and strategies, which led to expansion in the average volume of demand, time and savings deposits. Note that the result of this expansion was critical for mitigating the decline in results due to funding spreads of R$708 million.

In 4Q09 in relation to the previous quarter, financial margin fell by 1.3% or R$8 million. The reduction was due to the decrease in spreads of R$28 million, which was partially offset by the increase in the average volume of R$20 million.

48


 
Loans vs. Funding 
 

To analyze Loan Operations in relation to Funding, it is first necessary to deduct the amount committed to compulsory deposits at the Central Bank and the amount of available funds held at units in the customer service network, and to add the funds from domestic and offshore lines that provide the institution’s funding to meet loan and financing needs.

Bradesco presents low reliance on interbank deposits and foreign credit lines, given its effective capacity to obtain funding from clients. This efficiency is a result of its extensive network, broad product portfolio and market’s confidence in Bradesco brand.

Note that the percentage of funds used increased in both the annual and quarterly comparisons. This shows that Bradesco was basically able to meet the funding needs of its loan operations through funding operations with its clients.

Total    265,937    259,016    260,578    2.7    2.1 
   

 
Demand Deposits and Investment Account 
 

The increase of 17.7% or R$5,370 million in the quarter and the 24.6% increase in the year reflects the funds related to the acceleration in economic activity, which led to improvements in funding.


 
Savings Deposits 
 

The variation in the quarter is basically due to the higher inflows and the remuneration of deposits (TR + 0.5% p.m.), which reached 1.6% in 4Q09, representing growth of 7.9% . We believe savings accounts will remain a good investment alternative, especially for smaller-scale savers.

The accrued returns on savings accounts in 2009 mainly reflects the fact that deposits exceeded redemptions and the remuneration of balances (TR + 0.5% p.m.), which reached 6.9%, for growth of 16.9% in the period.

50


 
Time Deposits 
 

In 4Q09, there was a decrease in funds from time deposits due to the measures adopted by the government to boost market confidence in small and midsized financial institutions by creating Time Deposits with Special Guarantee (DPGEs) and to the subsequent drop in the rates practiced.

The variation in the comparison with 2008 is mainly due to: (i) the anti-cyclical measures adopted by the government; and (ii) the reduction in reserve requirements, which normalized funding operations and market liquidity.

 
Debentures 
 

The positive variation of 8.5% in 4Q09 basically reflects: (i) the placement of these securities, which are used to back purchase and sale commitments; and (ii) the better rates of these operations in relation to those practiced for time deposits, which suffered contraction due to the return of liquidity in the market.

 
Borrowings and Onlending 
 

The increase in the quarter is mainly due to the following: (i) the R$516 million increase in the volume of funds from borrowings and onlending in the country, especially through Finame operations; which was partially offset by (ii) the negative variation in the foreign exchange rate of 2.1% in 4Q09, which impacted borrowings and onlendings denominated and/or indexed in foreign currency, whose balance was R$8,218 million in September 2009 and R$8,005 million in December 2009.

The reduction in the year was basically due to: (i) the 25.5% negative exchange rate variation, which directly impacted borrowings and onlendings denominated and/or indexed in foreign currency, whose balance was R$14,204 million in December 2008 and R$8,005 million in December 2009; which was partially offset by (ii) the increase in the volume of funds from borrowings and onlending in the country, especially through Finame and BNDES operations, whose balance was R$17,743 million in December 2008 and R$19,323 million in December 2009.

The increase of 5.2% increase or R$371 million in the quarter was basically due to (i) the issue of MT100 securities, which grew by 5.7% or R$211 million; (ii) new operations with Agribusiness Mortgage Letters in the amount of R$184 million; which was offset by (iii) the negative exchange rate variation of 2.1% .

In the comparison between fiscal years, the reduction of 17.0% or R$1,529 million was mainly due to: (i) the negative exchange rate variation of 25.5%, which directly impacted operations with MT100 securities by R$813 million or 17.2%; (ii) the reduction in funds from Debentures of R$747 million, due to repurchase by third parties in 2Q09; which was offset by (ii) new operations with Agribusiness Mortgage Letters of R$233 million.

In relation to 3Q09, the increase was 22.1% or R$126 million, mainly from higher revenues from securities indexed to the IPCA and multimarket funds, in addition to lower expenses for restatement of reserves according to the IGPM.

In 2009, the result of non-interest financial margin grew by R$2,297 million in relation to 2008. In the fourth quarter this item decreased by R$372 million from the previous quarter. The variations in non-interest financial margin were basically due to the following factors:

• “Loans”, represented by commissions for placing financing and loans. Expenses were lower due to the change in the accounting policy as of 2Q08, with financing commissions incorporated under the balances of financing/leasing operations;

• “Funding”, represented by expenses with the credit guarantee fund Fundo Garantidor de Crédito (FGC). The increase in the comparison periods was mainly due to expansion in the client base in relation to 2008. In 4Q09, this contribution remained stable in relation to 3Q09.

• ”Insurance” represented by gains from equity investments. Variations between the periods are associated with market conditions, which provided better/worse opportunities for profit taking; and

• “Securities/Other”, the increase of R$1,469 million in 2009 from the previous year reflects the higher treasury/securities gains, led by the positive variation in the mark-to-market adjustments of: (i) credit derivatives (Credit Default Swaps - CDSs) linked to Brazilian government bonds issued abroad; and (ii) securities pegged to IPCA inflation, due to the recovery in financial markets in 2009. The R$372 million decrease in the quarterly comparison is due to lower gains from treasury/securities.

For comparison purposes, the R$99.8 million related to lengthening the INBR tail from 5 to 7 years (life line) was excluded from 4Q08. The historical increase in the occurrence date and notice date ratio was adjusted from 60 to 84 months to comply more precisely with the statistical behavior of older judicial claims.
**Data for November 2009, August 2009, May 2009, January 2009, November 2008, July 2008, May 2008, and February 2008.

Obs.: In accordance with Susep Circular Letter 379/2008, as of January 2009, amounts referring to technical provisions are presented in gross amounts and reinsurance balances (PPNG, PSL and IBNR) were reclassified under assets. The balance on December 31, 2009 was R$6 million.

Due to its solid structure, policy of product innovation and the confidence of consumers, Bradesco Vida e Previdência maintained its leadership, holding market share of 31.1% in terms of income from pension plans and VGBL.

It is also the leader in VGBL plans, with 32.6% market share, and in Private Pension Plans, with 25.6% market share (source: Fenaprevi – data of November 2009).

With revenue of R$4.9 billion in 4Q09, for growth of 33.4% on the previous quarter, Bradesco Vida e Previdência posted results 29.4% higher than in 3Q09. This improving was due to: (i) the increase in the financial result; (ii) the net effects from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); (iii) the result from VGBL, combined with creation of a provision for insufficient contribution (PIC) and a provision for administrative expenses, given the decline in the real interest rate, from 4.3% to 4.0%, used to calculate these reserves; and (iv) the higher claims in the group life segment.

Despite the 13.8% growth in revenue from R$13.0 billion in 2008 to R$14.8 billion in 2009, the income from equity investments and the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS), the company posted a slightly lower result, due to: (i) the 6 p.p. increase in the rate of social contribution tax; (ii) the creation of technical provisions (PIC and PDA) totaling R$507 million (R$304 million net of tax) mentioned above; and (iii) the increase in claims in the group life segment, generated by the creation of a provision for insufficiency of premiums.

59


The technical provisions of Bradesco Vida e Previdência in December 2009 totaled R$65.7 billion, of which R$62.8 billion was from private pension and VGBL and R$2.9 billion from life, personal accident and other lines, representing growth of 17.2% in relation to December 2008. The Investment Portfolio of Private Pension Plan and VGBL stood at R$68.8 billion in December 2009.

* Data as of November 2009, August 2009, May 2009, January 2009, November 2008, July 2008, May 2008 and February 2008.

Net Income in 4Q09 was 45% higher than in the previous quarter, due to the 3.1% increase in revenue and (i) the 3.5 p.p. drop in the claims ratio, which in 4Q09 was affected by the higher frequency of consultations and hospital admissions as a result of the outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1); and (ii) the higher use of post-employment benefits in the period.

The Net Income in fiscal year 2009 of R$462 million was relatively unchanged from the R$460 million recorded in 2008, despite lower interest rates and the higher rate of social contribution. The main performance indicators improved slightly from the previous year, with the combined ratio declining 1.4 p.p.

In December 2009, Bradesco Saúde maintained its strong market position in the corporate segment (source: ANS). Brazilian companies are increasingly convinced that health insurance is the best alternative for meeting their medical and hospital needs.

Approximately 35 thousand companies in Brazil have Bradesco Saúde insurance. Of the 100 largest companies in Brazil in terms of revenue, 41 are Bradesco Saúde clients. When considering also Mediservice, this figure increases to 46 (Source: Exame magazine “Melhores e Maiores”, July).

 
Number of Policyholders of Bradesco Saúde – Consolidated 
 

Bradesco Saúde - consolidated has over 4 million clients. The high share of corporate policies in the overall portfolio (94.64% in December 2009) shows the high level of specialization and customization in the corporate segment, which is a major advantage in today’s private health insurance market.

* Data as of November 2009, August 2009, May 2009, January 2009, November 2008, July 2008, May 2008 and February 2008.

The growth in Net Income in the savings bond business in 4Q09 was due to (i) the 10.6% increase in revenue; (ii) stable administrative expenses; (iii) and the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS).

Net Income in 2009 was 6.7% higher than in 2008, due primarily to: (i) the 17.2% growth in revenue; (ii) the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS); and (iii) the reduction in personnel and administrative expenses to 2.2% of revenue, combined with the decrease in financial income, given the lower interest rates and the 6 p.p. increase in the rate of social contribution tax.

Bradesco Capitalização ended 4Q09 as a leader in the savings bond industry, due to its policy of transparency and adjusting its products based on the potential demand from consumers.

To offer savings bonds that are ideally suited to the profile and budget of clients, various products were developed that vary in accordance with the payment conditions (lump-sum or monthly), contribution term, frequency of drawings and premium amounts. This phase was mainly characterized by the closer relationship with the public by consolidating the Pé Quente Bradesco family of products.

A highlight was the performance of social and environmental products, in which part of the amount collected is transferred to social responsibility projects, while also enabling the client to start a financial reserve. Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, which contributes to the development of reforestation projects; Instituto Ayrton Senna, whose main differential is the transfer of a percentage of the amount collected to social projects; Brazilian Cancer Control Institute, which contributes to the development of projects for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer in Brazil; and Fundação Amazonas Sustentável, through which part of the amount collected is used to develop environmental preservation and sustainable development programs and projects.

The portfolio is composed of 16.3 million active bonds. Of this total, 32.4% are represented by Traditional Bonds sold through the Branch Network and the Bradesco Dia&Noite ATM network, which registered growth of 4.1% in relation to December 2008. The remaining 67.6% of the portfolio is represented by Incentive Bonds (transfer of drawing rights), such as those in partnership with Bradesco Vida e Previdência and Bradesco Auto/RE. Since the objective of this type of savings bond is to add value to the partner company’s product or to encourage the performance of obligations by the client, the bonds have shorter terms and grace periods and lower unit sales value.

Bradesco Capitalização maintains a quality management system and holds the latest version of NBR ISO 9001:2008 certification for the “Management of Bradesco Savings Bonds”. This certification, which is granted by Fundação Vanzolini, attests to the quality of its internal processes and confirms the principle that underpins Bradesco Savings Bonds: good products, services and sustainable growth.

(1) In accordance with SUSEP Circular Letter 379/08, as of January 2009, amounts related to technical provisions are presented in gross amounts and reinsurance balances (PPNG, PSL and IBNR) were reclassified under assets. The balance on December 31, 2009 was R$662 million.
(2) 4Q08 excludes R$40 million related to losses from the floods in Santa Catarina state.

Insurance premiums in the Auto/RE line held market share of 10.2% (market data in November 2009).

The higher Net Income in 4Q09 was due to the 2.1 p.p. decrease in the claims ratio and the higher equity income.

In 2009, Net Income was 38% higher than in 2008, supported by the 8% growth in revenue, the declines in the claims ratio and selling costs and the higher equity income.

Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência maintained its leadership position among major insurers of the basic lines in Brazil’s Other Property and Casualty market, with market share of 6.1% in November 2009.

In segments related to Property Insurance, Bradesco Auto/ RE has been renewing the insurance programs of its main clients through partnerships with brokers specialized in the segment and a closer relationship with Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas. The excellent performance of the oil industry and the rebound in the construction industry has also contributed to the growth of Bradesco Auto/RE in this segment.

In Aviation and Maritime Hull insurance, the increased exchange with managers at Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas has been drawn on extensively, taking full advantage of the stronger sales of aircraft and the maritime vessels

The transportation segment is still the primary focus, with essential investments made to leverage new business, especially in the renewal of reinsurance agreements, which gives insurers the important power to assess and cover risk, and consequently increased competitiveness in more profitable businesses, such as international transportation insurance for shipping companies involved in international trade.

Despite strong competition in the Auto/RCF business, the insurer has increased its client base. This is mainly due to the improvement of current products and the creation of new products targeting specific publics. These include Bradesco Seguro Exclusivo Cliente Bradesco, which is exclusively for Banco Bradesco accountholders, Auto Mulher, which targets women, and Auto Corretor, aimed at insurance brokers.

Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência held market share in the Auto/RCF market in November 2009 of 13.4% .

Number of Policyholders in Auto/RE 
 

In the mass insurance segment of Other Property and Casualty, where products target individuals, self-employed professionals and SMEs, the launch of new products and the continuous improvement of methods and systems have contributed to growth in the client base. This increase can be observed mainly in residential insurance, such as Bradesco Seguro Residencial and Bradesco Seguro Auto + Residencial. In addition, the new product Bradesco Seguro Condomínio was remodeled to become more competitive and dynamic, accompanied by a new issuing process and system and a follow-up system accessed by the Internet.

Explanations of the main items that influenced the variation in fee and commission income between periods follow.

66


 
Card Income 
 

In 4Q09, the R$168 million increase on the previous quarter was basically due to the inclusion of the figures from Banco Ibi and to higher card revenue, which is seasonally higher in the last quarter of the year.

In the comparison with 2008, the R$358 million increase reflects the expansion of 59.6% in the cards base, from 83,243 thousand in December 2008 to 132,854 thousand in December 2009, due to organic growth and the Banco Ibi merger.

In the same period, revenue from credit card operations was R$55,303 million, an increase of 18.4%, while the number of credit card transactions increased by 19.0%, from 607,373 thousand to 722,569 thousand.

In 2009, Card Fee Income was R$3,423 million, up 11.7% on 2008, mainly due to the performance of purchases and services income. Fee and commissions income in 2009 includes the partial divestment of the interest in the acquirer Cielo in July 2009, from 39.3% to 26.6% .

67


 
Checking Account 
 

In 4Q09, revenue from checking account services was R$543 million, for growth of approximately 1% in the quarter, mainly due to the net increase of 235 thousand new checking accounts (16 thousand corporate clients and 219 thousand individual clients) and the increase in services provided to clients.

In 2009, fee and commission income from checking accounts grew by 4.5% on the previous year to R$2,120 million. The base (net of accounts closed) expanded by 829 thousand new checking accounts and 1.9 million savings accounts, offsetting the impact from the elimination of the charging of fees for renewing registrations.

 
Loan Operations 
 

In 4Q09, the increase of R$3.8% or R$15 million mainly reflects the recovery in transaction volumes, especially for real estate financing, BNDES onlending and working capital operations.

In 2009, the increase of R$13 million is mainly due to the growth in income from guarantees, which offset the negative impact from the elimination of the charging of loan fees (TAC) from individuals.

68


 
Asset Management 
 

In 4Q09, the growth in asset management income of R$9 million or 2.1% from the previous quarter is mainly due to the increase in assets under management, which offset the fewer number of business days in 3Q09.

In 2009 versus 2008, the R$32 million increase was mainly due to the growth in assets under management at Bradesco of 32.4% . The highlight was income from equity investments, which grew by 122.3%, followed by growth in fixed income investments of 29.4% .

Collections 
 

The R$5 million increase in 4Q09 basically reflects the increase in the number of documents processed in the quarter to 238 thousand, from 224 thousand in the previous quarter.

In 2009, the increase of R$23 million is due to growth in the volume of documents processed to 874 million, from 807 million in 2008.

 
Payment 
 

The R$17 million increase in the year was mainly due to growth in the payment of taxes, public and private utility concession fees and social security contributions, from R$383 million to R$414 million.


70


 
Consortium Management 
 

The 3.9% higher sales of quotas in 4Q09 fueled income growth of 4.4% on the previous quarter at Bradesco Consórcios, which remained the leader in all segments in which it operates.

In 2009, the 10.4% higher income in relation to 2008 mainly reflects the increase in active quotas, from 345,969 on December 31, 2008 to 395,611 on December 31, 2009.

 
Custody and Brokerage Services 
 

In 4Q09, income from custody and brokerage services grew 9.4% on the prior quarter, mainly explained by the higher trading volume on stock exchanges.

In 2009, the 25.2% higher income in relation to 2008 mainly reflects the acquisition of Ágora Corretora, incorporated as of September 2008

 
Underwriting 
 

The R$59 million increase in 4Q09 and R$221 million increase in the annual comparison mainly refer to increased business volumes explained by the better scenario for capital markets.

In 4Q09, Administrative and Personnel Expenses totaled R$4,827 million, up 7.6% on the prior quarter. Note that the consolidation of Banco Ibi in October 2009 impacted income statement accounts as of November.

 
Personnel Expenses 
 

In 4Q09, personnel expenses were R$2,081 million, down 2.1% (R$45 million) from the previous quarter.

In the "structural" portion, the R$57 million increase was basically due to: (i) the wage increase under the collective bargaining agreement (6%) and the restatement of labor liabilities; (ii) the Banco Ibi merger; and (iii) the expansion in the service network (from 42,627 service points in 3Q09 to 44,632 in 4Q09).

In the "non-structural" portion, the R$102 million increase basically reflects: (i) lower expenses with profit sharing for administrators and employees (PLR), due to the R$119 million adjustment made in the previous quarter under the collective bargaining agreement; which was partially offset by higher expenses with: (ii) employment contract terminations (R$8 million); (iii) provisions for labor claims (R$6 million); and (iv) higher expenses with training (R$3 million).

72


 
Personnel Expenses 
 

In 2009, the R$577 million increase from 2008 reflects: (i) the "structural" portion (R$505 million), related basically to higher expenses with payroll and charges due to wage increases; and (ii) the R$72 million increase in the non-structural portion, basically due to:

(a) higher provision for labor claims in the amount of R$45 million; (b) higher expenses with the provision for profit sharing (PLR), as per the collective agreement in September 2009 in the amount of R$38 million; which were offset by (c) lower expenses with training (R$7 million).


73


 
Administrative and Personnel Expenses 
 


 
Administrative Expenses 
 

In 4Q09, administrative expenses were R$2,746 million, up 16.4% (R$387 million) from 3Q09, mainly due to seasonality at year-end, when higher business volume directly impacts some administrative expenses, such as advertising, as well as the consolidation of Banco Ibi. The main variations were in the following items: (i) R$171 million related to higher advertising expenses; (ii) R$64 million increase in outsourcing expenses; (iii) R$30 million increase in communication expenses; and (iv) the R$22 million with financial system services.

In 2009, the increase of R$1,186 million or 14.3% mainly reflects: (i) organic growth and the resulting increase in service points (from 38,183 on December 31, 2008 to 44,632 on December 31, 2009), which directly impacted the principal items under administrative expenses; (ii) the higher business volume; (iii) the Banco Ibi merger; and (iv) the renegotiation of agreements.


74


 
Operating Coverage Ratio (*)
 

In the quarter, the coverage ratio in the last 12 months remained stable due to: (i) the higher administrative and personnel expenses resulting mainly from business expansion and the impact of the collective bargaining agreement; which was offset by (ii) the increase in fee and commission income. Going forward, we expect this ratio to improve, driven by growth in business operations and expansion in the client base.

 
Tax Expenses 
 

The R$55 million growth in tax expenses in relation to 3Q09 was mainly due to the higher expenses with PIS/Cofins taxes of R$47 million, reflecting the higher taxable income in 4Q09, especially fee and commission income.

In 2009, tax expenses rose R$305 million, basically due to the increase in expenses with PIS/Cofins taxes of R$263 million, reflecting the higher taxable income, especially financial margin income, as well as fee and commission income.

75


 
Equity in the earnings of affiliated companies 
 

In 4Q09, equity in the earnings of affiliated companies was R$142 million, up R$103 million on the previous quarter, mainly due to (i) the increase in income at IRB (R$30 million) and Integritas Participações. (R$31 million); and (ii) the gain related to the IPO of Laboratório Fleury obtained by our affiliate Integritas Participações. (R$60 million).

In 2009, the R$64 million increase mainly reflects: (i) the gain from the IPO of Laboratório Fleury (R$60 million); (ii) the higher income from affiliated companies: Integritas Participações. (R$31 million), Serasa (R$14 million) and BES Investimentos (R$15 million); which was offset by (iii) the drop in income from IRB (R$57 million).

 
Other Operating Expenses (Net of Operating Revenue)
 

In 4Q09, other operating expenses, net of other operating revenues, decreased R$598 million. This variation was mainly due to: (i) the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS) of R$388 million; (ii) the lower expenses with operational provisions of R$282 million, led by the decrease in the provision for economic plans, from R$387 million in 3Q09 to R$111 million in 4Q09; which were partially offset by (iii) the incorporation of other operational expenses from Banco Ibi of R$64 million.

In 2009, the increase in the operational expenses, net of other operating expenses of R$1,235 million was mainly driven by: (i) the increase in expenses with operational provisions of R$754 million, of which R$676 million refers to the provision for contingencies related to economic plans; (ii) the higher expenses with goodwill amortization of R$75 million; (iii) higher expenses with sundry losses of R$95 million; (iv) higher expenses with the amortization of operating agreements of R$51 million; (v) expenses with impairment testing of R$40 million; (iv) the Banco Ibi merger (R$64 million); (vii) higher net sundry expenses of R$397 million; which was mainly offset by (viii) the net effect from the payment of taxes through the program for settlement of tax debits through cash and installment payments under Law 11,941/09 (REFIS) of R$388 million.

76


 
Operating Income 
 

In 4Q09, Operating Income was R$2,675 million, up 36.6% or R$717 million from the previous quarter, mainly reflecting: (i) the increase in other operating income (net of other expenses) of R$598 million; (ii) the R$268 million increase in income from fee and commission income; (iii) the decrease in expenses with the allowance for loan losses of R$213 million; and (iv) the increase in administrative expenses of R$387 million.

In 2009, the increase of R$2,093 million or 20.7% on the previous year was mainly due to higher expenses with: (i) the allowance for loan losses of R$6,041 million (including the increase in additional provisioning of R$1,477 million); (ii) the increase in personnel and administrative expenses of R$1,763 million; (iii) other operating expenses (net of other income) of R$1,235 million; and (iv) the decrease in operating income from the Insurance, private pension and savings bond business of R$272 million; which was offset by (v) the increase in financial margin income of R$6,587 million; and (vii) the increase in income from fees and commission of R$872 million.

 
Non-Operating Income 
 

The R$482 million variation on the previous quarter is mainly explained by the gain from the sale of the overallotment shares in Cielo in 3Q09 of R$410 million.

In 2009, the main impact was the gain from the partial divestment in the year of the interest in Cielo.

Sustainability 
 

In October 2009, Bradesco became a member of the Brazilian Platform of Companies for the Climate (EPC) of Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Center of Sustainability Studies (GVCes). The initiative – which companies joined voluntarily – gathers Brazilian sector leaders to identify solutions for climate changes. EPC will support strategies, policies, management systems for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the positioning of companies on the legal framework for low carbon economy in Brazil.

In November, for the fifth consecutive year, Bradesco was included in the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA), composed of 43 shares from 34 companies recognized for their commitment to social, economic and environmental aspects. ISE is a benchmark for investment funds that take into account sustainability and governance practices when preparing their portfolios. The companies whose shares compose the index are deemed capable of generating value to shareholders due to their ability to overcome economic, financial and social-environmental risks more easily.

 
Investor Relations Area – IR 
 

In 2009, the Investor Relations area expanded and improved its communication channels.

In the first half of 2009, in an unprecedented initiative, it hosted its first Video Chat for the disclosure of results aimed at individual investors. Internet users had the opportunity to ask questions on the results online. Interested parties were also able to watch the replay of the full version of the Video Chat during the 6-month period following each disclosure on the Bank’s Investor Relations website. In September 2009, internet users were able to follow 6 Apimec Meetings via Twitter on www.twitter.com/bradesco_ri. The profile remains active and is used by the IR area for disclosing relevant information to shareholders and investors.

In October 2009, Bradesco launched its new IR website featuring new tools and separate contents for institutional investors and individuals.

Furthermore, 18 Apimec and INI (National Association of Investors) Meetings were held in 13 cities across the country, including 8 capital cities; six of these meetings were also broadcast live on the Internet.

In 4Q09, Bradesco’s preferred shares appreciated by 4.9% (adjusted per dividends), while Ibovespa had an 11.5% gain. In 2009, Bradesco’s preferred shares appreciated by 65.5% (adjusted per dividends), while Ibovespa had an 82.7% gain in the period.

The year of 2009 was marked by the beginning of the global markets’ recovery process, especially over the second half of the year, a reflection of the more optimistic expectations regarding the international scenario, mainly concerning the response of economic indicators to the incentive packages promoted by governments.

The solid foundation of the Brazilian economy, combined with a robust financial system, contributed to a faster recovery of the stock market, taking Ibovespa to levels close to those of the pre-crisis period, thus leading it to deliver one of the best performances among global exchanges.

Formula used: amount received by shareholders as dividends and/or Interest on Shareholders’ Equity in the last 12 months, divided by the preferred share closing price of the last trading day of the period.

 
Share Performance 
 

Pay Out Index: it indicates the percentage of net income paid as dividends/Interest on Shareholders’ Equity (YTD).

Formula used: amount received by shareholders as dividends and/or Interest on Shareholders’ Equity (net of income tax) divided by the book net income adjusted by non-recurring goodwill amortization (disregarding legal reserve - 5% of net income).

Investments in Infrastructure, Information Technology and Telecommunication 
 

Information Technology (IT) is a strategic factor for Bradesco Organization, which is constantly updating its technological platform with pioneering and innovative initiatives coupled with infrastructure solutions that allow for secure, fast and convenient operations. Financial services result from the proper treatment and preservation of information, transformed into products and services.

Driven by the best practices and ready for contingency, Bradesco’s TI infrastructure features central computers with processing capacity of more than 170,000 Mips (million instructions per second), in addition to over 5,972 servers and data storage capacity of nearly 2 Petabytes (2.25 quadrillion characters). An average of 188 million transactions are processed daily, with availability above 99.87% . The area’s management aims to make the complex simple and manageable, with low operating risk and scalability to support the Bank’s growth.

In 2009, the IT Improvements project, which began in 2003 with the purpose of preparing the Bank’s TI for the next decades, closed 25 of the 28 fronts, and the largest front, namely, the construction of the Systems New Architecture, is expected to be completed within the next two years. The result – part of which has already been observed – is increased operational flexibility, agility and simplicity, with a fully aligned technological application to the Bank’s advantage, providing clients with quality products and customer service.

Cutting-edge IT innovations not only contribute to the business, but also ensure the loyalty and satisfaction of clients, who can rely on state-of-the-art technology and the best products and services. Information Technology is an important intangible asset, and in 2009 Bradesco invested a total of R$2.827 billion in IT maintenance, expansion and innovation.

The table below shows the total amount invested over the last five years, including infrastructure (facilities, furniture and fixtures):

Market Risk 
 

The world economy continued on its path to recovery in 4Q09. This recovery has not been uniform, being most dynamic in emerging countries, especially Asian countries, whereas developed countries have been recovering more slowly. Most of the exceptional measures adopted to fight the crisis of the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009, including low interest rates, expansionist quantitative monetary and tax policies, remained effective. The central banks, particularly in international financial centers, have signaled their intention of keeping interest rates low for a longer period, but have already started to indicate their exit strategy for quantitative monetary policies. At any rate, most countries should maintain expansionist monetary and tax policies in the next quarters.

The recovery of economic activity has been inconsistent among countries, proving to be slow in several developed countries. Most of the volatility seen in 4Q09 resulted from alternating periods of weakened and increased activity, albeit with prevalence of recovery signs. Stock and interest markets were the most sensitive to these activity indicators.

The tax solvency of the countries most severely hit by the crisis stood out as a risk factor in 4Q09, mainly in relation to developed countries. In particular, European countries were affected by fears regarding the sustainability of their government debts. Issues concerning Dubai’s debt also affected the markets. These events had a particularly relevant impact on the volatility seen in credit and currency markets.

In regard to the domestic scenario, the Brazilian Central Bank decided to keep the interest rate unchanged in the quarter, closing the monetary flexibility cycle. Policies for encouraging internal demand continued in place yielding positive results, with the economy showing signs not only of recovery, but also of activity growth. Although the GDP result for 3Q09 remained below market estimates, the solid growth in added demand elements and other activity data reinforced the signs of vigorous economic recovery. The fast expansion pace led to the increase of market interest rates due to expectations of a raise in the basic interest rate still in the first half of 2010. On the other hand, the stock market benefited from the activity’s quick recovery, despite the volatility owing mainly to external events, as discussed previously.

The Real appreciation trend led the government to levy a Tax on Financial Operations (IOF) of 2% on the inflow of capital for investment in fixed income and equities in the Brazilian market. As early as November, an IOF of 1.5% started to be levied on the issuance of ADRs. The end of the dollar depreciation worldwide and the perspective for a significant increase in the Brazilian current account deficit, along with the tax measures, ended up causing the reversal of part of the exchange rate appreciation at the end of 2009. It is worth noting that, also at the end of 2009, the government regulated the Brazilian Sovereign Fund, signaling that the government may also acquire dollars in the market through this Fund.

The decrease in the 4Q09 volatility as compared to 3Q09, both in the foreign and domestic markets, caused the VaR to drop in the analyzed period more than in proportion to exposure.

Backtesting – Trading Portfolio VaR 
 

The method applied and the current statistical models are validated on a daily basis using backtesting techniques. Backtesting compares the daily calculated VaR both to the result obtained with the same positions used in the VaR calculation (hypothetical result) and to the result obtained considering the transactions on the day for which the VaR was estimated (effective result). Its main purpose is to monitor, validate and evaluate the adherence to the VaR model; the number of disruptions must comply with the reliability interval previously established in the modeling.

Stress Analysis 
 

To estimate the possible loss not included in VaR, Bradesco assesses daily the possible effects on the positions in stress scenarios. Stress analysis is a tool that seeks to quantify the negative impact of shocks and economic events financially unfavorable to the Institution’s positions. For this purpose, crisis scenarios are prepared based on historic and prospective views on risk factors in which the trading portfolio has a position. Thus, considering the diversification effect among risk factors, the average estimated loss in a stress situation would be R$489 million in 4Q09, and the maximum estimated loss would be approximately R$585 million.

Management Report 
 

Dear Shareholders,

The years 2008 and 2009 will be remembered as one of the most challenging periods in recent economic history. Growth models segregated into two main types: one marked by market deregulation and high debt levels, and the other by stringent government oversight or financial system self-regulation, characterized by strict controls over credit quality and leverage.

In this context, Brazil not only took steps to protect itself from any crisis-driven collateral damage, but also made considerable advances in strengthening its economy, putting it in a privileged position in a world connected by real-time information and eager for safe investment opportunities, as underscored by the volume of foreign investment inflow. In addition, Brazil’s economy has all the necessary fundamentals to ensure sustained GDP growth in 2010.

With over 50 million clients, 20 million of whom are checking account holders, Bradesco posted exceptionally solid results in 2009. The Bank’s successful trajectory over the years is based on its retail focus, which prioritizes the universalization of banking services and heavy investments in infrastructure and information technology. At the close of 2009, Bradesco was present in 100% of Brazil’s municipalities, with 37,476 service points nationwide.

The main events of 2009 include the acquisition of Ibi in Brazil and in Mexico, part of which is represented by the partnership with C&A for the joint sale of financial products and services through C&A stores; the association between OdontoPrev and Bradesco Dental to sell dental plans, through the creation of the largest sector company in Latin America; and Bradesco’s continued inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which is clear evidence of the global recognition for its excellent corporate sustainability practices. In addition, Bradesco picked up 8 of the 26 lots in the bid process conducted by the Brazilian Social Security Institute (INSS), allowing it to pay new social security beneficiaries for 20 years as of 2010.

Annual net income stood at R$ 8.012 billion, an increase of 5.14% in relation to 2008. Dividend and interest on equity payments totaled R$ 2.718 billion, equivalent to 35.71% of adjusted net income. Federal tax and contribution payments amounted to R$ 7.743 billion. Once again, Grupo Bradesco Seguros e Previdência accounted for a substantial 33.98% of net income.

The Bank’s common and preferred shares appreciated by 56.41% and 65.49%, respectively, raising its market capitalization to R$ 103.192 billion in December, representing a substantial gain for our shareholders and investors.

On the social and environmental responsibility front, the Organization strives not only to ensure harmonious relations between its employees, clients, suppliers and investors and the environment, but also to create products and services grounded in the principle of sustainability.

It is also worth highlighting the role of Fundação Bradesco, one of the largest private-sector social and basic education projects in Brazil and the world. The Foundation owns and runs 40 schools in underprivileged regions, providing high-quality education free of charge, in addition to free meals, school materials, uniforms and medical and dental care. In its 53 years of operations, 2.288 million students have attended its schools (3.452 million if other types of courses are included).

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Márcio Artur Laurelli Cypriano for his invaluable contribution throughout his 10 years as the Bank’s CEO. Mr. Cypriano is stepping down for statutory reasons, but will remain on the Board of Directors. His successor, Mr. Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi, will receive our full support and we wish him a profitable and successful future in his new position.

Finally, we would like to express our sincere thanks to all our executives and employees for their decisive dedication and support and to our clients and shareholders for the trust they have placed in us.

Cidade de Deus, January 27, 2010

Lázaro de Mello Brandão
Chairman of the Board of Directors

We hereby present the consolidated financial statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. for the year ended December 31, 2009, prepared in accordance with Brazilian Corporation Law.

The year began with the worst possible forecasts for the global economy, but ended with consistent signs of recovery. The actual pace of recovery varied from country to country, accompanied by a lingering degree of uncertainty regarding the developed world, where the adjustments in progress may impose reduced consumption growth over the previous years’ levels. At the same time, we see challenges ahead related to the strong fiscal deterioration in these nations as part of the anti-cyclical response to the risk of an economic depression.

Brazil has successfully overcome the challenges imposed by the crisis. The adoption of anti-cyclical policies resulted in a decline in household consumption, the main component of GDP, but not nearly to the same extent as in previous periods of major turbulence. The decline in investments – temporarily interrupting the expansion cycle of the previous five years – is already showing unmistakable signs of a reversal thanks to reduced idle capacity, the favorable outlook for domestic demand and the opportunities arising from the World Cup and the Olympic Games, as well as from pre-salt oil exploration. Today, Brazil is one of the main destinations for direct investments by foreign companies.

The Brazilian economy is expected to record strong growth in 2010, mainly fueled by household consumption, which should accelerate, and by investments, which are expected to increase by around 20%. The improvement in the job market, borrowing conditions and consumer and business confidence in the last few months should be maintained in a sustainable manner.

Given the expected mismatch between supply and demand growth, the Selic basic interest rate will almost certainly move higher, although it should remain below pre-crisis levels. In fact, the increase in the Selic should be regarded as a normalization of monetary policy and should not act as an impediment to economic growth or reverse the structurally based tendency of a decline in the country’s real interest rates.

Bradesco would like to reaffirm its positive view of Brazil’s future and its continuing belief in universal access to banking services and social mobility, as well as the cumulative advances that should generate a higher level of sustainable economic growth.

The Bradesco Organization’s period highlights include:

On March 10, the date of the 66th anniversary of Fundação Bradesco, Mr. Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi, who has been with the Organization for 40 years, was appointed CEO of the Bank, succeeding Mr. Márcio Artur Laurelli Cypriano, who had reached the statutory retirement age for this position, but who will remain on the Board of Directors.

Also on March 10, an Extraordinary General Meeting approved the reverse split of the Bank’s common and preferred shares in the ratio of fifty (50) to one (1), with a simultaneous split of each share, after the reverse split, in the ratio of one (1) to fifty (50), according to their respective types, in order to adjust the shareholding structure, consequently reducing the Company’s costs and increasing the efficiency of the book-entry system.

On June 3, Bradesco entered into a partnership with the Swedish-owned SEB - Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken to offer cash management solutions for its clients, thus increasing its global market presence.

On June 4, Bradesco entered into an agreement with the controlling shareholders of Banco Ibi S.A. to acquire 100% of the latter’s capital stock. This transaction was part of the 20-year partnership agreement with C&A Modas Ltda. for the exclusive joint sale of financial products and services through the C&A retail chain. On October 29, a Shareholders’ Meeting was held to approve the merger of Ibi Participações, transforming it into a wholly owned Bradesco subsidiary.

On June 30 and July 3 (supplementary lot), the Bank sold part of its interest in Cielo S.A. (formerly Visanet Brasil) through a Secondary Public Offering of Common Shares.

On August 6, Bradesco won 8 of the 26 lots auctioned by the National Social Security Service (INSS) for the payment of new social security beneficiaries over the next 5 years as of 2010. The winning banks were authorized to provide these payments to retirees and pensioners for a 20-year period.

96


On September 3, Bradesco was once again included in the NYSE’s Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI), which comprises the best companies in the world in terms of corporate governance practices and social and environmental responsibility.

On September 16, Bradesco entered into an agreement with Banco Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Brasil to expand collection services, thereby ensuring increasingly efficient and customized services for clients of both institutions.

On October 18, OdontoPrev and Bradesco Dental entered into a partnership agreement to combine their dental plan sales operations. On December 23, meetings to resolve on merger of Bradesco Dental shares by OdontoPrev. In exchange, Bradesco Saúde S.A., Bradesco Dental’s parent company, holds 43.50% of OdontoPrev capital stock.

On December 18, a Shareholders’ Meeting resolved to increase Bradesco’s capital using existing unencumbered reserves through a 10% share bonus program, attributing one (1) new share to each ten (10) existing shares of the same type. The operation was approved by the Central Bank of Brazil on December 30, 2009.

On January 21, 2010, Bradesco entered into a Heads of Agreement with the controlling shareholders of Ibi Services S. de R. L. México (Ibi México) and RFS Human Management S. de R. L., to acquire all of the latter’s capital stock. Simultaneously, the business foresees a 20-year Partnership Agreement with C&A México S. de R.L. (C&A México), for the exclusive joint sale of financial products and services through C&A. This transaction is subject to the approval by the competent authorities.

1. Net Income for the Year

Bradesco’s 2009 results and the creation of value for its shareholders confirmed its excellent performance in a scenario marked by reduced economic turbulence and the beginnings of a recovery. A detailed analysis of the origin and evolution of these figures can be found in the Economic and Financial Analysis Report on the Company’s website www.bradesco.com.br/ri.

R$8.012    billion in Net Income for the year, corresponding to earnings per share of R$2.34 and an annualized Return on Average Equity of 21.41%(*). The annualized Return on Average Total Assets stood at 1.66%, compared to 1.93% in the previous year. 
 
R$2.718    billion was allocated to shareholders in the form of monthly, interim and supplementary Dividends and Interest on Equity, which was included in the calculation of the mandatory dividend. Thus, R$0.917558 (R$0.809437 net of withholding tax) was attributed to each preferred share, which includes the additional 10%, and R$0.834144 (R$0.735853 net of withholding tax)was attributed to each common share. Dividends and interest on equity represented 35.71% of adjusted net income for the year (31.51% net of withholding tax). 

Taxes and Contributions

A substantial proportion of the Bradesco Organization’s earnings, in direct proportion to its volume of operations, was paid to the federal government.

R$7.743    billion in taxes and contributions, including social security contributions, paid or provisioned in the year. 

Taxes withheld and collected related to financial intermediation totaled R$ 5.802 billion.

2. Corporate Strategy

Brazil safely overcame the turmoil triggered by the most recent global crisis, suffering no undue difficulties and gaining the respect and confidence of the market in the process.

This scenario of economic stability, which points to consistent growth in 2010, favors the creation of jobs and increased household income, as well as the expansion of credit, particularly in the real estate sector, where demand offers substantial leverage potential, thanks to the regulations protecting the National Financial System and the stimulus provided by the federal government’s various social programs.

97


Based on such values as respect, ethical conduct and transparency, Bradesco is determined to consolidate its leading presence in Brazil’s economy, demonstrating its strength and unique ability as a financial broker, fostering investments, democratizing credit, expanding its range of products, services and solutions, and promoting banking inclusion and social mobility.

Bradesco aims to do everything possible to cement even closer ties with its clients. Present in every Brazilian municipality, the Bank focuses on the domestic market and is fully equipped to offer a broad range of products and services through its nationwide customer service network comprising 37,476 branches, service points, Banco Postal outlets and Bradesco Expresso outlets, in addition to 37,476 ATMs (30,657 in the Bradesco Dia&Noite network and 7,300 in the Banco24Horas network), not to mention the Internet Banking and Fone Fácil convenience channels. As a result, the Bank is ideally positioned to expand its client base, underpinned by trust in the Bradesco brand and the best corporate governance practices. Aiming to provide greater support to the regional branches and their management teams, the Bank has created 15 Regional Divisions in strategic locations around the country.

For developing related products, Bradesco will continue to use the existing business platforms in its operational segments, such as investment banking, capital market, private banking and fund management operations, among others, through Bradesco BBI; investments in the high-income segment in the credit card market through Amex; and the insurance, private pension plan and savings bond areas through Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência.

In 2009, in order to continue growing, Bradesco invested R$3.457 billion in infrastructure and information technology, aiming to ensure that its IT framework is always equipped with the best available practices and technologies in preparation for the decades ahead. The IT Enhancement Project, most of which was concluded in 2009, will make the Bank a global benchmark for banking technology, providing a rapid, easy-to-use and secure platform fully capable of coping with expected growth in the coming years. It also invested heavily in staff training programs in order to ensure a motivated, innovative and client-focused workforce.

Social and environmental responsibility initiatives play a significant role in the Bradesco Organization’s strategic planning, going well beyond mere philanthropy to become an integral part of its corporate culture.

In this ample area, there are three existing pillars which will be maintained as priority targets:

a) to grow organically, always alert to potential acquisitions, associations and partnerships, fully committed to maintaining secure, high-quality products, solutions and services, and always seeking to improve the Operating Efficiency Ratio;

b) to identity and evaluate the inherent risks of its activities, applying adequate controls and acceptable levels of risk to each operation; and

c) to operate in partnership with the capital markets, conducting its business with total transparency, the highest ethical standards and adequate compensation for investors.

3. Operating Efficiency Ratio – IEO

The Organization adopts the activity-based costing method (ABC) to calculate the cost of products and services, aiming to continually improve the criteria for establishing and negotiating fees for the Performance Management and Decision Support (GDAD) system and to evaluate client profitability, ensuring a secure basis for permanent rationalization analyses.

The activity-based management method (ABM), which is gradually being implemented, adopts a pro-active approach to controlling costs, ensuring rapid progress, including in the identification of opportunities, integrating operating performance with strategic goals while at the same time improving processes.

Increased revenues, the rigorous ongoing control of administrative expenses and the efficient capture of synergies from acquisitions are all positively reflected in the IEO.

41.02%    Operating Efficiency Ratio at the close of 2009, versus 43.33% in  2008 and 43.10% in 2007.

Integrated Management System

The integrated management system, mySAP Business Suite, which has been operational throughout the Organization since 2006, facilitates the interchange of information flows between the various departments and affiliated companies.

98


More than 85 thousand employees have participated in on-site training and e-learning programs, achieving excellent results in the human resources, training, accounts payable, fixed assets, purchases, accounting and financial statement consolidation, work management, maintenance and audit processes already in place.

Interacting with a set of applications in a single database enhances information security and improves data quality, organization and availability, resulting in heightened process optimization, integration and control.

4. Capital and Reserves

R$26.500    billion in Capital Stock at year-end. 
 
R$15.254    billion in Equity Reserves.

Consequently, the Bank’s capital stock will be distributed as follows: 3,427,085,833 registered, book-entry shares with no par value, 1,713,543,005 of which common and 1,713,542,828 preferred.

The Capital Adequacy Ratio stood at 17.75% in the consolidated financial result and 17.83% in the consolidated economic and financial result, considerably higher than the 11% minimum established by National Monetary Council Resolution 2,099 of August 17, 1994, in conformity with the Basel Committee. In relation to Consolidated Reference Assets, the fixed asset ratio (maximum of 50%, according to the Brazilian Central Bank) was 18.63% in the consolidated financial result and 45.68% in the consolidated economic and financial result.

Bradesco’s Subordinated Debt at year-end amounted to R$ 23.104 billion (R$ 3.779 billion abroad and R$ 19.325 billion in Brazil), R$ 10.951 billion of which considered eligible as capital and included in level II of the Reference Assets adopted when calculating the ratios in the previous paragraph.

5.3. Loan Collection and Recovery

13. Integrated Risk Management

The Bradesco Organization considers the integrated management and control of risks essential to its activities, using it to add value to its business by helping commercial areas plan their activities and maximize the use of own and third-party funds to benefit shareholders and the company.

The Bank approaches integrated risk management and control on an integrated basis, drawing on support from the various Statutory and Executive Committees. This approach promotes the continuous enhancement of controls and minimizes the existence of faults that could jeopardize the accurate identification, classification, evaluation and mitigation of risks.

13.1. Credit Risk

In line with best practices, credit risk management is a continuous and evolutionary process of mapping, measuring and diagnosing the models, instruments, policies and procedures in place, and requires a high degree of discipline and control when analyzing the operations carried out in order to preserve the integrity and independence of processes. The policies adopt special procedures for aspects such as concentration, approval, collateral and terms in order to not compromise the expected portfolio quality.

13.2. Market Risk

In accordance with the recommendations and rules of regulatory agencies, and in line with the best methodologies and models used in local and international markets, market risk is carefully monitored, measured and managed. The market risk management policy is conservative, with the limits for risks, results and exposure determined by senior management monitored daily on an independent basis.

13.3. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk management seeks to control the various mismatches in the settlement terms of rights and obligations, as well as the liquidity of the financial instruments used to manage the operations. Therefore, the liquidity policy approved by senior management involves the daily monitoring of the composition of available funds, the observance of the minimum liquidity level and the contingency plan for stress situations.

13.4. Operational Risk

The Organization, based on the dissemination of culture, availability of tools, disclosure of policies and implementation of corporate methodologies, considers the management of operating risk indispensable for creating value and obtaining qualification for an advanced model aimed at strengthening management practices and increasing operating efficiency.

13.5. Management of Business Continuity

The process of managing business continuity is dealt with on a corporate-wide basis and involves the activities that are essential to the Organization’s operations. This management is based on preparing plans that use methodologies and tools to formalize the actions to be adopted that will assure the recovery and continuity of business processes during crisis situations, in turn preventing or minimizing financial losses for the Organization, its clients and stakeholders.

13.6. Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Policies

Bradesco discloses risk factors and critical accounting practices, in accordance with international best practices in transparency and corporate governance and with US GAAP.

The sharp appreciation in the year of 57.90% reflects the market recovery and was driven by the gain in intangible assets, which, although not reflected on the balance sheet, are perceived and assessed by investors.

Bradesco’s strategic planning always seeks the best results, taking into account for the setting of realistic goals: the value of the Bradesco brand; the best practices for corporate governance and culture; the scale of its businesses; the many relationship channels that exist between the various publics and the Organization; an innovative information technology policy; the broad diversification of its products, services and solutions and the coverage and reach of its Customer Service Network, which is present in 100% of Brazil’s municipalities, as well as overseas; a dynamic and responsible policy for its social and environmental responsibility; a robust human resources policy that: a) provides a more solid relationship among all employees and consequently increases the level of mutual confidence; b) indicates the opportunities for valuing professionals and their development; c) substantially reduces the staff turnover rate and associated costs; and d) cultivates, at all levels, a long-term vision, which is inherently linked to sustainability.

15. Marketing

Presence. This summarizes the strategic positioning adopted by Bradesco in 2009 for its communication. The company’s campaign highlighted the Organization’s commitment to Brazil and its people, and the important role it plays in the country’s economic and social development.

Social and environmental responsibility is an integral part of the history of the Bradesco Organization, which since its founding 66 years ago has worked continually to promote the universalization of banking services. With the creation of Fundação Bradesco in 1956, it developed a model for free private education to children and youths, demonstrating that a company’s corporate responsibility extends far beyond its business activities.

Aware of its presence in the daily lives of Brazilians, in 2007, the Organization created the Banco do Planeta, which will organize its socio-environmental initiatives into three main pillars: sustainable finances, responsible management and socio-environmental investments. Through this initiative, the Bank strengthens its foundation to support the demands of its various stakeholders, and reaffirms its commitment to the sustainability of its business, to acting responsibly and to investing in initiatives that promote the wellbeing of society and respect for the environment.

1) OPERATIONS

Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco) is a private-sector publicly traded company that, operating as a Multiple Service Bank, carries out all types of authorized banking activities through its commercial, foreign exchange, consumer financing and housing loan portfolios. The Bank also operates in a number of other activities through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, particularly in leasing, investment banking, brokerage, consortium management, credit cards, insurance, private pension plans and savings bonds. Operations are conducted within the context of the Bradesco Organization companies, working in an integrated manner in the market.

In this context, Bradesco conducted the following operations in 2009:

• On June 4, Bradesco entered into an agreement with the controlling shareholders of Banco Ibi S.A. (Banco Ibi) to acquire the totality of its capital stock and its subsidiaries. Concomitantly, as part of the agreement, a partnership agreement was entered into with C&A Modas Ltda. for a twenty-year term to, jointly, exclusively trade financial products and services through the C&A store network. The operation was approved by the Brazilian Central Bank (Bacen) on September 11, 2009, and the Special General Meeting held on October 29, 2009 resolved on the merger of all shares representing the capital stock of Ibi Participações into Bradesco; and

• On October 18, an association agreement was signed between Odontoprev and Bradesco Dental, to integrate the sales of dental plans with the merger of Bradesco Dental shares into Odontoprev. Subsequently, Bradesco Dental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odontoprev and Bradesco Saúde received shares issued by the latter, holding 43.50% of its capital stock. The operation was previously authorized, on December 2, 2009, by the National Agency for Supplementary Healthcare (ANS) and it is pending the analysis of the Antitrust and Consumer Protection Division of the Brazilian Ministry of Justice.

2) PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements of Bradesco include the financial statements of Banco Bradesco, its foreign branches and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and jointly-controlled investments, in Brazil and abroad, and SPEs. They were prepared based on accounting practices determined by the Brazilian Corporation Law 6,404/76, with the amendments introduced by Law 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure 449/08 (which became Law 11,941/09) related to the accounting of operations, as well as the rules and instructions of the Monetary National Council (CMN), Bacen, Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM), National Private Insurance Council (CNSP), Insurance Superintendence (Susep), ANS and Committee for Accounting Pronouncements (CPC), when applicable, and consider the financial statements of leasing companies based on the finance lease method, whereby leased fixed assets are reclassified to the leasing operations account, less the residual value paid in advance.

Accordingly, for preparation purposes, intercompany investments, asset and liability account balances, revenue, expenses and unrealized profit were eliminated from these financial statements, as well as separate presentation of net income and shareholders’ equity referring to the interest of non-controlling shareholders. In the case of investments which are jointly controlled with other shareholders, asset, liability and income components were included in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the capital stock percentage owned of each investee. Goodwill determined on acquisition of investments in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies up to March 31, 2008 was fully amortized. Goodwill ascertained as of that date is presented under investments and intangible assets (Note 15a). The exchange variation arising from transactions of foreign branches and subsidiaries is presented in the income statement together with derivative financial instruments, in order to eliminate the effect of these investment hedge instruments.

129


The financial statements include estimates and assumptions, such as the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, estimates of the fair value of certain financial instruments, provision for contingencies, losses from impairment of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and non-financial assets, other provisions, the calculation of technical provisions for insurance, supplementary pension plans and savings bonds and the determination of the useful life of specific assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Functional and Presentation Currencies

The financial statements are presented in Reais, which is Bradesco’s functional currency. Operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries are basically a continuation of the activities in Brazil, and therefore, assets, liabilities and results are adjusted to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and translated into Reais using the exchange rate of the applicable currency. Gains and losses arising from this translation process are recorded in the income in the period.

b) Determination of net income

Net income is determined on the accrual basis of accounting which establishes that income and expenses should be included in the determination of the results of the period to which they relate, always simultaneously when they are correlated, regardless of receipt or payment. Transactions with fixed rates are recorded at their redemption value and unearned income and unexpired expenses are recorded as a deduction from the corresponding assets and liabilities. Financial income and expenses are prorated daily and calculated based on the exponential method, except when relating to discounted notes or to foreign transactions which are calculated based on the straight-line method.

131


Floating rate or foreign-currency-indexed transactions are adjusted up 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 income over the period of the corresponding insurance policies and invoices and are deferred for appropriation on a straight-line basis, during the risk coverage period, by means of accrual 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 reinsurance companies, respectively.

The supplementary pension plans contributions and life insurance premiums with a survival clause are recognized in income as they are received.

The revenue from savings bonds is recognized at the time of receipt, except for pre-printed bonds of established amount and lump-sum payment, which are recorded at the time of issue. The expenses for placement of bonds, classified as “Selling Expenses,” are recognized as they are incurred. Brokerage expenses are recorded when the respective savings bonds contributions are effectively received. Redemptions and drawings are recorded simultaneously to the accounting for the corresponding revenues.

The expenses for technical provisions for private pension plans and savings bonds are recorded at the same time as the corresponding revenues thereof are recognized.

c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents are represented by: cash in domestic and foreign currency, investments in gold, open market investments and deposits in other banks, with maturities on the application date of 90 days or less and present an insignificant risk of change in fair value, used by the Bank to manage its short-term commitments.

d) Interbank investments

Purchase and sale commitments with unrestricted movement agreements are adjusted to market value. Other investments are recorded at acquisition cost, plus income earned up to the balance sheet date, net of loss accrual, when applicable.

e) Securities

Trading securities – securities acquired for the purpose of being actively and frequently traded, adjusted to market value against the income in the period;

Available-for-sale securities – securities which are not specifically intended for trading purposes or as held to maturity. They are adjusted to market value against a specific account in shareholders' equity, net of tax effects; and

Held-to-maturity securities – securities for which there is intention and financial capacity to hold in the portfolio up to maturity. They are recorded at acquisition cost, plus earnings recognized against income for the period.

The securities classified in the trading and available-for-sale categories, as well as derivative financial instruments are stated at its estimated fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value generally is based on market prices or quotations for assets or liabilities with similar characteristics. If market prices are not available, fair values are based on traders’ quotations, pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value may require judgment or significant estimates by the Management.

132


f) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

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

Operations involving derivative financial instruments are designed to meet the Bank’s own needs in order to manage the overall exposure, as well as for meeting clients requests for the management of their positions. Gains and losses are recorded in income or expenses accounts of the respective financial instruments.

Derivative financial instruments used to mitigate risks deriving from exposure to variations in the market value of financial assets and liabilities are designated as hedges and are classified according their nature as:

• Market risk hedge: for financial instruments classified in this category as well as the hedge-related financial assets and liabilities, gains and losses, realized or not, are recorded in income statement; and

• Cash flow hedge: for financial instruments classified in this category, the effective valuation or devaluation portion is recorded, net of tax effects, in a specific account in shareholders’ equity. The non-effective portion of the respective hedge is directly recognized in the income statement

g) Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables with credit characteristics and allowance for loan losses.

Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts and other receivables with credit characteristics are classified in their corresponding risk levels in compliance with: (i) the parameters established by CMN Resolution 2,682/99, at nine levels from “AA” (minimum risk) to “H” (maximum risk); and (ii) Management’s assessment risk. 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 2,682/99 is also taken into account for client risk rating purposes as follows:

 
Past-due period (1)   Client rating 
 
•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   
 

(1) For operations unexpired term of over 36 months, the periods are doubled, as allowed by CMN Resolution 2,682/99.

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

133


H-rated past-due operations remain at this level for six months, after which they are written-off against the existing allowance and controlled in memorandum accounts for at least five years, no longer being recognized in the balance sheet.

Renegotiated operations are maintained, at least, at the same classification as their prior rating. Renegotiations already charged-off against the allowance and which are recorded in memorandum accounts are rated as “H” level and any possible revenues derived from their renegotiation are recognized as revenue only when they are effectively received. When there is a significant payment on the operation or when new material facts justify a change in risk level, the operation may be reclassified to a lower risk category.

The allowance for loan losses is calculated at an amount sufficient to cover probable losses and takes into consideration CMN and Bacen rules and instructions, together with assessments carried out by the Management, in the determination of credit risk.

h) Income tax and social contribution (assets and liabilities)

Income tax and social contribution credits, 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 tax difference in leasing depreciation and mark-to-market adjustments of securities is recorded in “Other Liabilities – Tax and Social Security”. Only income tax rate is applied on tax difference in leasing depreciation.

Tax credits on temporary additions will be realized upon use and/or reversal of the corresponding provisions to which they refer. Tax credits on tax losses and negative basis of social contribution will be realized as taxable income is generated, considering the 30% limit of the taxable profit of the reference period. Such tax credits are recorded based on the current expectations for realization, taking into account the technical studies and analyses carried out by the Management.

The provision for income tax is recorded at the base rate of 15% of taxable income, plus a 10% surcharge. As of May 1, 2008, social contribution is calculated at a 15% rate for financial institutions and insurance companies and at 9% for other companies (up to April 30, 2008, this rate was 9% for all companies and for fiscal year 2008 it was calculated pursuant to specific rules issued by the tax authorities).

Tax credits brought forward from previous periods, resulting from the increase of the social contribution rate to 15% are recorded up to the limit of the corresponding consolidated tax liabilities (Note 34).

Provisions were recorded for other income and social contribution taxes in accordance with specific applicable legislation.

Pursuant to Provisional Measure 449/08 (which became Law 11,941/09), the changes in the determination criteria for income, costs and expenses included in the net income for the year, enacted by Law 11,638/07 and by Articles 37 and 38 of Law 11,941/09, shall not have effect taxable income for corporate entities opting for the Transitional Tax Regime (RTT), and, for tax purposes, the accounting methods and criteria in force on December 31, 2007 will be considered. For accounting purposes, the tax effects of adopting Law 11,638/07 are recorded in the corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities.

134


i) Prepaid expenses

These represent payments for future benefits or services recorded in assets according to the accrual method of accounting.

This group is basically represented by: insurance selling expenses, insurance expenses and advertising and marketing expenses, as described in note 12b.

j) Investments

The investments in subsidiaries, jointly-controlled companies and affiliates, with significant influence over the investee or ownership of 20% or more in the voting capital, are evaluated by the equity accounting method.

Tax incentives and other investments are assessed at acquisition cost, net of the provision for impairment, when applicable.

k) Fixed assets

These correspond to tangible assets used in the Bank’s activities or acquired with this purpose, including those deriving from operations which transfer risks, benefits and controls of the assets.

Fixed assets are stated at acquisition cost, net of the respective accumulated depreciations, calculated on the straight-line method according to the estimated economic useful life of assets, being: premises – 4% p.a.; furniture and fixtures, machinery and equipment – 10% p.a.; transport systems – 20% p.a.; and data processing systems – 20% to 50% p.a. and impairment, when applicable.

l) Intangible assets

Intangible assets are intangible rights acquired for business activities or exercised with that purpose. Intangible assets with established useful lives are amortized over the estimated period of economic benefit.

Intangible assets comprise:

• Future profitability of client portfolio acquired and acquisition of the right to provide banking services;

These are recorded and amortized over the period in which the asset will directly and indirectly contribute to the future cash flow and adjusted by the impairment, when applicable; and

• Software

Software is recorded at cost less amortization on the straight-line method during the estimated useful life (20% to 50% p.a.), as from the date it is available for use and adjusted by impairment, when applicable. Internal software development expenses are recognized as assets when it is possible to demonstrate the intention and ability to complete such development, as well as reliably measuring costs directly attributable to the software, which will be amortized during its estimated useful life, considering the future economic benefits generated.

135


m) Asset impairment

The book value of securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and non-financial assets, except other assets and tax credits, are tested, at least annually, for impairment, which is recognized in the income statement for the year if the book value of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable value.

A cash generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash flows materially independent from other assets and groups.

n) Deposits and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase

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

o) Technical provisions related 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 Resolutions 162/06, 181/07, 195/08 and 204/09.

• Basic, life and health insurance lines:

- Unearned Premiums Provision (PPNG) comprises retained premiums (except reinsurance assignment) which are deferred during the term of effectiveness of the insurance policies, determining the daily prorated value of the unearned premium of the unexpired risk period (future risk of policies in effect);

- The provision for claims Incurred but not reported (IBNR) is calculated on an actuarial basis to quantify the amount of claims occurred and not reported by policyholders/beneficiaries. Pursuant to CNSP Resolution 195/08, as of 2009, insurance companies cannot to deduct from calculation of provisions the amounts transferred to third parties through reinsurance operations;

- The provision for unsettled claims is recorded based on the indemnity estimates for notices of claims received from policyholders up to the balance sheet date. The provision is monetarily restated and includes all claims under litigation. In the case of health insurance, according to the technical note approved by ANS, the provision for unsettled claims complements the IBNR provision;

- The Supplementary Premium Provision (PCP) is recorded on a monthly basis to complement the PPNG, considering the effective risks issued or not. The amount of the PCP is the difference, if positive, between the average of the sum of the daily PPNG and the recorded PPNG;

- The provision for insufficient premiums is recorded when there is insufficiency of the unearned premium provision to cover incurred claims, considering expected indemnities and related expenses, throughout periods to be incurred related to risks in effect on the reference date of calculation;

- Other technical provisions refer to provision for future readjustments of premiums and those required for the technical balance of the individual health plan portfolio, adopting a method included in the actuarial technical note approved by ANS;

136


- The provision for benefits to be granted, of the individual health plan portfolio, refers to a 5-year coverage for dependents if the policyholder is deceased, adopting a formulation included in the actuarial technical note approved by ANS; and

- The provision for benefits granted, of the individual health plan portfolio, is comprised by liabilities arising from payment release contractual clauses referring to the health plan coverage, and its accounting complies with Resolution - RN 75/04 of ANS, and by premiums for the payment release of Bradesco Saúde policyholders -“Plano GBS”.

• Supplementary private pension plans and life insurance covering survival:

- The mathematical provision for benefits to be granted refers to participants whose benefits have not yet begun. In the private pension plans known as “traditional”, the provision represents the difference between the current value of the future benefits and the current value of the future contributions, corresponding to the obligations assumed under retirement, disability, pension and regular income plans. The provision related to Long-term Life Insurance (VGBL) covering survival and to Unrestricted Benefits Generating private pension Plans (PGBL) represents the amount of the contributions made by the participants, net of carrying costs and other contractual charges, plus financial earnings generated by the investment of resources in Exclusive Investment Funds (FIEs);

- The mathematical provision for benefits granted refers to participants already using the benefits and corresponds to the present value of future obligations related to the payment of ongoing benefits;

- The contribution insufficiency provision is recorded to complement the mathematical provisions for benefits granted and to be granted, should they not be sufficient to guarantee future commitments. In plans covering survival, the provision is calculated on an actuarial basis and takes into consideration the actuarial table AT-2000 (normalized), increased by 1.5% p.a. (improvement), considering males separately from females, who have higher life expectancy, and the actual interest rate of 4.0% p.a.. In disability plans, the provision is also calculated on an actuarial basis and takes in consideration the biometric AT-49 table (male) and the real interest rate of 4.0% p.a.;

- The financial fluctuation provision is recorded up to the limit of 15% of the mathematical provision for 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; and

- The administrative expenses provision is recorded 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.

• Savings bonds:

- The mathematical provision for redemptions is recorded for each active or suspended savings bonds during the estimated term set forth in the general conditions of the plan. It is calculated according to the methodology set forth in the actuarial technical notes approved by Susep;

- The provisions for redemptions are established for the expired savings bonds and unexpired plans where early redemption has been required by the clients. The provisions are monetarily restated based on the indexes determined in each plan; and

137


- The provisions for unrealized and payable drawings are recorded to cover prizes in future drawings (unrealized) and also for prizes in drawings where clients have already been selected (payable).

p) Contingent assets and liabilities and legal liabilities – tax and social security

The recognition, measurement and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and legal liabilities are in accordance with the criteria defined in CMN Resolution 3,535/08 and CVM Resolution 489/05.

• Contingent Assets: are not recognized in the financial statements, except when Management has total control over the situation or when there are real guarantees or favorable judicial decisions, to which no further appeals are applicable, characterizing the gain as practically certain and confirmed expectations of receipt or compensation with another liability. The contingent assets with probable chances of success is probable are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements (Note 18a);

• Contingent Liabilities: are recorded taking into consideration the opinion of the legal advisors, the nature of the lawsuits, the similarity with previous processes, the complexity and positioning of courts, whenever the loss is evaluated as probable, which would cause a probable outflow of funds for the settlement of liabilities and when the amounts involved are measurable with sufficient reliability. The contingent liabilities classified as possible losses are not recognized in the financial statements, and they must only be disclosed in the notes, when individually material, and those classified as remote do not require provision nor disclosure (Notes 18b and 18c); and

• Legal Liabilities – Tax and Social Security: result from judicial proceedings related to tax liabilities, being contested on the grounds of legality or constitutionality, which, regardless of the assessment of the probability of success, are fully recognized in the financial statements (note 18b).

q) Funding expenses

Expenses related to funding transactions involving the issue of securities are recorded as reduction of the liability and are allocated to income over the term of the transaction.

r) Other assets and liabilities

The assets are stated at their realizable amounts, including, when applicable, related income and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily prorated basis), and less provision for loss, when deemed appropriate. The liabilities comprise known or measurable amounts, including related charges and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily prorated basis).

(1) Consistent with the criterion adopted by Bacen Circular Letter 3,068/02 and due to the characteristics of the securities, we are considering the derivative financial instruments, except those considered as cash flow hedge under the category “Trading Securities”; (2) These refer to investment funds resources and managed portfolios applied on purchase and sale commitments with Bradesco, whose owners are consolidated subsidiaries, except those considered as cash flow hedge;
(3) The investment fund quotas were distributed according to the instruments composing their portfolios and preserving the category classification of the funds;
(4) In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of Bacen Circular Letter 3,068/02, Bradesco declares that it has both the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified as ‘held-to-maturity’ . This financial capacity is evidenced in Note 32a, which presents the maturities of asset and liability operations as of December 31, 2009;
(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 according to item (7), except for held-to-maturity securities, whose market value is higher than the restated cost in the amount of R$3,082,780 thousand (September 30, 2009 – R$3,604,723 thousand and December 31, 2008 – R$1,550,399 thousand);
(7) The market value of securities is determined based on the market price available on the balance sheet date. Should there be no market prices available, amounts are estimated based on the prices quoted by dealers, on price definition models, quotation models or price quotations for instruments with similar characteristics; in case of investment funds, the restated cost reflects the market value of the respective quotas; and
(8) In 4Q09, non-temporary losses totaled R$24,726 thousand, for securities classified as available -for-sale.

e) Derivative financial instruments

Bradesco carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments, which are recorded in the balance sheet or memorandum accounts, to meet its own needs in managing its global exposure, as well as to meet its clients requests, in order to manage their exposures. These operations involve a series of derivatives, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps, futures and options. Bradesco’s risk management policy is based on the utilization of derivative financial instruments with a view to mitigating risks of the operations carried out by the Bank and its subsidiaries.

Securities classified in the trading and available-for-sale categories, as well as derivative financial instruments are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at its estimated fair value. The fair value is generally based on market prices or quotations for assets or liabilities with similar characteristics. Should market prices not be available, fair values are based on dealer quotations, pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques for which the determination of fair value may require judgment or significant estimates by the management.

Market price quotations are used to determine the fair value of derivative financial instruments. The fair value of swaps is determined by using discounted cash flows modeling techniques that use yield curves, reflecting adequate risk factors. The information to build yield curves is mainly obtained at BM&FBovespa (Futures and Commodities Exchange) and in the domestic and international secondary market. These yield curves are used to determine the fair value of currency swaps, interest rate and other risk factors swaps. The fair value of forward and futures contracts is also determined based on market price quotations for derivatives traded at the stock exchange or using methodologies similar to those outlined for swaps. Fair Value of loan derivative instruments is determined based on market price quotation or from specialized entities. The fair value of options is determined based on mathematical models, such as Black & Scholes, using yield curves, implied volatilities and the fair value of corresponding assets. Current market prices are used to price the volatilities.

Derivative financial instruments in Brazil mainly refer to swap and futures operations and are recorded at Cetip (OTC Clearing House) and BM&FBovespa.

Operations involving forward contracts of indexes and currencies are contracted to manage and hedge Bradesco’s overall exposures and to meet client needs.

Derivative financial instruments abroad refer to swap, forward, options, credit and futures operations and are mainly carried out at the stock exchanges of Chicago and New York, as well as the over-the-counter markets.

f) Credit Default Swaps (CDS)

In general these represent a bilateral agreement in which one of the parties purchases protection against credit risk of a certain financial instrument (the risk is transferred) . The selling counterparty receives a remuneration that is usually paid in a linear manner during the operation effectiveness.

In case of a default, the purchasing counterparty will receive a payment to offset the loss incurred on the financial instrument. In such case, the selling counterparty usually receives the asset object of the agreement in exchange for the payment.

Bradesco Organization’s premises and equipment present an unrecorded surplus value of R$1,876,842 thousand (September 30, 2009 – R$1,861,043 thousand and December 31, 2008 – R$1,570,878 thousand) based on appraisal reports prepared by independent experts in 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The Bank has entered into lease agreements, for data processing systems (hardware), which are included in premises and equipment. Under this accounting policy, assets and liabilities are classified in the financial statements and depreciation is calculated according to the depreciation policy adopted for the Bank’s own assets. Interest on the liability is also recognized.

The fixed assets to reference shareholders’ equity ratio in the “economic-financial consolidated” is 18.63% (September 30, 2009 - 15.44% and December 31, 2008 – 13.55%), and in the “financial consolidated” is 45.68% (September 30, 2009 – 44.34% and December 31, 2008 – 48.02%), whereas the maximum limit is 50%.

The difference between the fixed assets to shareholders’ equity ratio in the “economic-financial consolidated” and of the “financial consolidated” is due to non-financial subsidiaries which have high liquidity and low fixed assets to shareholders’ equity ratio, with the consequent increase in the fixed assets to shareholders’ equity ratio of the “financial consolidated.” Whenever necessary, we may reallocate the funds to the financial companies through the payment of dividends/interest on shareholders’ equity to financial companies or a corporate reorganization between the financial and non-financial companies, thus improving the ratio.

15) INTANGIBLE ASSETS

a) Goodwill

Goodwill from investment acquisitions amounted to R$2,541,359 thousand, of which R$203,114 thousand represents the difference between book value and market value of shares recorded in Permanent Assets (BM&FBovespa shares), to be amortized upon their realization and R$2,338,245 thousand representing future profitability/client portfolio, which will be amortized over twenty years. In the period, goodwill amortization totaled R$107,277 thousand.

Goodwill assessed in the acquisition of investments up to March 31, 2008 in subsidiaries and jointly-controlled companies was fully amortized in the amount of R$53,030 thousand on March 31, 2008.

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

(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 expenditures in Brazil by holders of credit cards issued outside Brazil.

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

Funds from the sale of current and future money orders flows and credit card receivables, received by the SPEs, must be maintained in a specific bank account until a minimum limit is attained.

We present below the main features of the notes issued by SPEs:

18) CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND LEGAL LIABILITIES – TAX AND SOCIAL SECURITY

a) Contingent assets

Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, although there are ongoing proceedings with good prospects of success. The main one is:

- PIS - R$54,902 thousand: claiming the compensation of PIS on the Gross Operating Revenue, paid pursuant to Decree Laws 2,445/88 and 2,449/88, over the amount due under the terms of the Supplementary Law 07/70 (PIS Repique).

b) Contingent liabilities classified as probable losses and legal liabilities – tax and social security

The Bradesco Organization is currently party to a number of labor, civil and tax lawsuits, arising from the normal course of its business activities.

Provisions were recorded based on the opinion of the legal advisors, the types of lawsuit, similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and positioning of the courts, whenever a loss is deemed probable.

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

Liability related to litigation is held until the definite successful outcome of the lawsuit, represented by favorable judicial decisions, for which appeals can no longer lodged or due to statute of limitation.

186


I - Labor claims

These are claims brought by former employees seeking indemnity, especially for unpaid overtime. In the proceedings requiring judicial deposit, the amount of labor claims is recorded considering the effective perspective of loss of these deposits. For other proceedings, the provision is recorded based on the average of the total payments made for the claims settled in the last 12 months, considering the year of the judicial ruling.

Following a more effective control over working hours implemented in 1992, via electronic time cards, overtime is paid regularly during the employment contract and, accordingly, the amount of claims on an individual basis subsequent to 1997 substantially decreased.

II - Civil claims

These are claims for pain and suffering and property damages, mainly relating to notarized protests, returned checks, the inclusion of information about debtors in the restricted credit registry and the reincorporation of inflation adjustments excluded as a result of government economic plans. These lawsuits are individually controlled by computer-based systems and provisioned whenever the loss is evaluated as probable, considering the opinion of the legal advisors, the nature of the lawsuits, and similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and positioning of the courts.

The issues discussed in the lawsuits relating to protests, returned checks and information on debtors in the credit restriction registry usually are not events that cause a significant impact on the financial income. Most of these lawsuits are brought at the Special Civil Court (JEC), in which the claims are limited to 40 minimum wages.

It is worth noting the increase in legal claims pleading the incidence of inflation rates which were excluded from the monetary restatement of savings accounts balances due to Government Economic Plans (especially Bresser and Verão Economic Plans) which were part of the Government economic policy to reduce inflation in the past. Although the Bank had complied with the legal requirements in force at the time, these lawsuits have been provisioned taking into consideration claims effectively notified and their assessed loss perspectives, the “APDF”/165 lawsuit (failure to comply with fundamental concepts) brought by CONSIF, with a view to suspending all the pending lawsuits about economic plans is pending judgment by the Federal Supreme Court (STF).

Currently, there are no significant administrative lawsuits in course, filed as a result of the lack of compliance with National Financial System regulations or payment of fines, which could cause significant impacts on the Bank’s interest income.

III - Legal liabilities – tax and social security

The Bradesco Organization is disputing in court the legality and constitutionality of certain taxes and contributions, for which provisions have been recorded in full, although the likelihood of a medium- and long-term favorable outcome is goods based on the opinion of the legal advisors.

The main issues are:

- Cofins – R$3,439,954 thousand: it requests authorization to calculate and pay Cofins, as from October 2005, on the effective income, whose concept is in Article 2 of Supplementary Law 70/91, removing the unconstitutional increase in the calculation basis introduced by paragraph 1 of Article 3 of Law 9,718/98;

187


- IRPJ/Loan Losses – R$701,176 thousand: it requests authorization to deduct, for purposes of determination of the calculation basis of IRPJ and CSLL, the amount of effective and definite credit losses, total or partial, suffered in the reference years from 1997 to 2006, regardless of the compliance with the conditions and terms provided for in Articles 9 to 14 of Law 9,430/96 that only apply to temporary losses;

- INSS Autonomous Brokers – R$711,177 thousand: it questions the incidence of the social security contribution on the remunerations paid to autonomous service providers, established by Supplementary Law 84/96 and subsequent regulations/amendments, at the rate of 20% and additional of 2.5%, under the argument that the services are not provided to the insurance companies, but to policyholders, thus being outside the incidence of the contribution provided for in item I, Article 22, of Law 8,212/91, with new wording given in Law 9,876/99;

- PIS – R$273,506 thousand: it requests the authorization to offset amounts overpaid in the reference years of 1994 and 1995 as contribution to PIS, corresponding to the amount above the calculation basis laid down in the Constitution, i.e., gross operating revenue, as defined in the income tax legislation – concept in Article 44 of Law 4,506/64, not including interest income.

In November 2009, Bradesco adhered to a tax amnesty program, introduced by Law 11941/09, whereby all federal tax and social security obligations owed to the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (RFB) and to the Public Prosecutions Office of the National Treasury (PGFN) may be settled via a one-off payment or in installments. In accordance with this program, all debts past due up to November 30, 2008, owed by individuals or corporate entities, consolidated by the debtor, with suspended liability or not, executable or not, or considered individually, even at the foreclosure stage, or which are part of a prior installment agreement, not yet fully settled or cancelled as a result of default, may be liquidated through a single payment or divided into installments.

Bradesco’s main lawsuits included in the program refer to disputes regarding: (i) the payment of social contribution on net income (CSLL) by financial institutions from 1995 to 1998 at rates in excess of those applicable to companies in general; and (ii) the non-payment of CSLL from 1996 to 1998, during which period certain Bradesco companies had no employees, on the grounds that, pursuant to Item I of Article 195 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, only employers are liable to pay this contribution.

Considering the specific rules of the program, the accounting effects of the lawsuits included in the one-off payment option were recognized upon adherence. The lawsuits to be included in the installment payment option will be subsequently specified and formally included in the debt consolidation with RFB and no accounting effects were recognized, since at present it is not practicable to determine and quantify the corresponding lawsuits or the gains arising there from.

The net total, directly related to the adherence to the program, totaled R$388,162 thousand and was mainly recognized in “Other operating income” (Note 28). Bradesco did not opt to use income tax and social contribution losses to offset the interest payable on the debts included in the program introduced by the above Law.

c) Contingent liabilities classified as possible losses

The Bradesco Organization maintains a system to monitor all administrative and judicial proceedings in which the institution is the plaintiff or defendant and based on the opinion of the legal advisors, classifies the lawsuits according to the expectation of loss. The trends of administrative and judicial proceedings are periodically analyzed and, if necessary, the related risks are reclassified. In this context the contingent proceedings evaluated as having the risk of possible loss are not recognized in the financial statements. The main proceedings are related to leasing companies’ Tax on Services of any Nature (ISSQN), the total processes of which corresponds to R$188,866 thousand. In this lawsuit, the demand of the tax by municipalities other than those where the companies are located and from which the tax is collected in compliance with the law is discussed, as well as the nature of the Leasing Agreement not being a case of formal disallowance when recording tax credit.

c) Interest on shareholders’ equity/dividends

Preferred shares have no voting rights, but are entitled to all rights and advantages given to common shares and, in compliance with Bradesco’s Bylaws, have priority in repayment of capital and additional ten per cent (10%) of interest on shareholders’ equity and/or dividends, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1, item II, of Article 17 of Law 6,404/76, with the new wording given in Law 10,303/01.

According to Bradesco’s Bylaws, shareholders are entitled to interest on shareholders’ equity and/or dividends of, in total, at least 30% of the net income for the year, adjusted in accordance with the Brazilian Corporation Law.

Interest on shareholders’ equity is calculated based on the shareholders' equity accounts and is limited to the variation in the Federal Government Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP), provided there are available profits, computed prior to the deduction thereof, or retained earnings and revenue reserves in amounts equivalent to, or exceeding twice, the amount of such interest.

Bradesco’s capital remuneration policy aims at distributing the interest on shareholders’ equity at the maximum amount calculated pursuant to prevailing laws, and this is included, net of Withholding Income Tax, in the calculation of the mandatory dividends of the year set forth in the Company’s Bylaws.

At a Board of Directors’ Meeting held on July 3, 2009, the Board of Executive Officers proposal for payment of interim interest on shareholders’ equity to shareholders related to 1H09 was approved, in the amount of R$0.155520588 (R$0.1321925 net of tax) per common share and R$0.171072647 (R$0.14541175 net of tax) per preferred share, whose payment was made on July 20, 2009.

The Board of Directors’ Meeting held on December 4, 2009 approved the Board of Executive Officers proposal for the payment of supplementary interest on shareholders’ equity to shareholders for the fiscal year of 2009 in the amount of R$1,632,000 thousand, out of which R$0.499755537 (net of withholding income tax of 15% - R$0.424792206) per common share and R$0.549731091 (net of 15% withholding income tax - R$0.467271427) per preferred share, the payment of which will be made on March 9, 2010.

The Special General Meeting held on December 18, 2009 resolved that the monthly dividends will be held in R$0.01321925 per common share and R$0.014541175 per preferred share, so that the amounts monthly paid to shareholders will be increased by 10%, after the new shares from the stock bonus are included in the shareholding.

32) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a) Risk management process

Bradesco Organization considers the risk management essential to all its activities, using it to add value to its business, as it supports the business areas in the planning of its activities, maximizing the use of own and third party resources, for the benefit its stakeholders and the company.

The risk management activity is highly relevant due to the increasing complexity of services and products offered and the globalization of Bradesco’s business, reason why the Organization is always improving its risk management processes, using the best international practices, Brazilian rules and the recommendations of the New Capital Accord.

Several investments are made in initiatives related to risk management processes, especially in the training of the staff to improve the quality of said processes and ensure the necessary focus, inherent to these activities that generate a strong added value. In this context, the Organization has three large pillars that support the entire risk management structure: i) corporate governance; ii) management structure; and iii) risk management methodology.

Credit risk management

Credit risk is the possibility that a counterparty of a loan or financial operation may not wish, or may suffer some change in its ability to comply with its contractual obligations, which may generate losses for the Organization.

To mitigate credit risk, Bradesco continuously reviews the processes of credit activities processes, implementing improvements, examining and preparing inventories of credit approval and recovery procedures, monitoring concentrations and identifying new areas of credit risks.

Market risk management

Market risk is the possibility of loss by fluctuating market prices and rates, once asset and liability portfolios of the Organization may present mismatches in terms, currencies and indexes.

The market risk management at Bradesco enables the Organization to make strategic decisions with high agility and level of reliance, conducting it by means of methodologies in line with the best international practices and the recommendations of the New Capital Accord.

The performance of limits is daily monitored by the Integrated Risk Control Department, which is independent to the business management and adopts the Parametric VaR (Value at Risk) outlook, in the calculation of the trading portfolio risk, with a 99% confidence level, one-day horizon, and correlations and volatilities calculated using statistical methods in which recent returns are given more importance. In addition, the methodology applied and current statistic models in the measurement of market risks are daily evaluated using backtesting techniques.

Sensitivity analysis

In conformity with good risk management governance practice, Bradesco maintains a continued process of management of its positions, which encompasses control of all positions exposed to market risk by means of measures compatible with the best international practices and the New Basel Capital Accord – Basel II. It is also worth mentioning that financial institutions have risk limits and controls and leverage regulated by Bacen.

Risk limit proposals are validated by specific business committees and submitted to the approval of the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee, complying with limits laid down by the Board of Directors, according to the positions’ targets, which are divided into the following portfolios:

• Trading Portfolio: consists of all financial instruments, commodities, derivatives operations held for trading or as a hedge of other trading portfolios, which are not subject to trading restrictions.
Operations intended for trading are those for resale, to take advantage from expected or effective price movements, or for arbitrage purposes; and

• Banking Portfolio: operations not classified in the Trading Portfolio. These consist of structural operations of various lines of the Organization’s business and eventual hedges.

The following tables present the financial exposure sensitivity analysis (Trading and Banking Portfolios) pursuant to CVM Rule 475/08 and do not reflect how these market risk exposures are managed in the Organization’s daily operations, according to information provided in this note.

The financial exposure impacts of the Banking Portfolio (mainly interest rates and price indexes) stated in the following table do not necessarily represent an accounting loss for the Organization, due to the following reasons:

• part of loan operations held in the Banking Portfolio is funded by demand deposits and/or savings deposits, which provides a natural hedge for eventual interest rate fluctuations;

206


• for the Banking Portfolio, interest rates fluctuations do not necessarily have a material impact on the Organization’s results, since the intention is to hold the loan operations until their maturity; and

• derivative operations of the Banking Portfolio are used to hedge operations with clients or to hedge investments abroad, also considering the tax effect on foreign exchange rate fluctuation.

We present below the sensitivity analysis of the Trading Portfolio, which represents exposures that might cause material impacts on the Organization’s results. It is worth mentioning that results show the impacts for each scenario for a static portfolio position on December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The market dynamism results in continuous changes in these positions and does not necessarily reflect the current position. In addition, as previously mentioned, we maintain a continued process of market risk management, which continuously seeks, through market dynamics, ways of mitigating/minimizing related risks, according to the strategy determined by Senior Management, i.e., in case of signs of deterioration in a certain position, proactive measures are taken to minimize potential negative impacts, aiming at maximizing the risk/return ratio for the Organization.

The sensitivity analysis was carried out based on the scenarios below, always considering that these impacts would negatively affect our positions.

Scenario 1: based on market information of December 31, 2009 (BM&FBovespa, Anbima, etc), one base point stress was applied for interest rates and 1% variation for prices. For instance, the exchange rate of Reais/Dollar of R$1.76 and 1-year fixed interest rates of 10.51% p.a.

Scenario 2: 25% stresses were determined based on the market at December 31, 2009. For instance, the exchange rate of Reais/Dollar was R$2.18 and 1-year fixed interest rates of 13.13% p.a., with fluctuations of other risk factors representing a 25% stress on the respective curves or prices.

Scenario 3: 50% stresses were determined based on the market at December 31, 2009. For instance: the exchange rate of Reais/Dollar was R$2.62 and 1-year fixed interest rates of 15.75% p.a., with fluctuations of other risk factors representing a 50% stress on the respective curves or prices.

The sensibility analysis for December 31, 2008 was carried out complying with the following scenarios:

Scenario 1: consists of the probable scenario for risk factors and is based on market information (BM&FBovespa, Anbima, etc), such as the future interest rate curve. For example: the Real/Dollar quotation was R$2.35 and the 1-year fixed interest rate was 11.60% p.a..

Scenario 2: 25% stresses were determined based on the market at December 31, 2008 and applied on Scenario 1. For example: the Real/Dollar quotation was R$2.93 and the 1-year fixed interest rate was 14.64% p.a., and fluctuations of other risk factors, represented a 25% stress in the corresponding curves or prices.

Scenario 3: 50% stresses were determined based on the market at December 31, 2008 and applied on Scenario 1. For example: the Real/Dollar quotation was R$3.52 and the 1-year prefixed interest rate was 17.68% p.a., and fluctuations of other risk factors represented a 50% stress in the corresponding curve or prices.

Liquidity risk

The Liquidity Risk is the possibility of the Organization not having enough financial funds to honor its commitments due to the mismatch between payments and deposits, taking in consideration different currencies and the settlement terms of its rights and obligations.

Bradesco has a Liquidity Policy that establishes the minimum liquidity levels that the Organization must keep, as well as instruments to manage the liquidity in a regular and crisis scenario. The liquidity risk is daily controlled in an independent manner, with the distribution of reports to the management and control areas, as well as the Executive Committee.

(1) Article 4 of Bacen Circular Letter 3,389/08 gives the option to exclude position sold in foreign currency for purposes of ascertaining the Capital Adequacy Ratio, also computing tax effects, carried out with the purpose of hedging investments abroad. Bradesco opted to do this on September 29, 2008;
(2) As of July 1, 2008, with the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II), risk-weighted assets are determined based on 11%, required reference shareholders’ equity which is the minimum capital required by Bacen; and
(3) The Capital Adequacy Ratio will have the following impacts, which were already identified for 2010 (simulations on December 31, 2009): a) as from January 1, the determination of capital allocation portion of the Financial Conglomerate’s Operating Risk will be calculated using the multiplier (“Z” factor) equivalent to1.0, pursuant to Bacen Circular Letter 3,383, and, in this scenario, the Capital Adequacy Ratio would be 17.47% for the Financial Conglomerate, and 17.55% for the Economic -Financial Conglomerate; b) CMN Resolution 3,825/09 revokes, as from April 1, CMN Resolution 3,674 which allows the full addition of the additional provision for loan losses at the calculation of the Reference Shareholders’ Equity, and, in this scenario, the Capital Adequacy Ratio would be 16.53% for the Financial Conglomerate, and 16.61% for the Economic -Financial Conglomerate ; and c) as from 2H10 the non-financial Operating Risk will be considered for capital allocation, and, in this scenario, the Capital Adequacy Ratio would be 16.17% for the Financial Conglomerate, and 16.25% for the Economic -Financial Conglomerate.

Pursuant to the New Basel Capital Accord, the Bacen published CMN Resolutions 3,380/06, 3,464/07 and 3,721/09, concerning the structures for managing operating, market and credit risks. It also published Circular Letters 3,360/07, 3,361/07 to 3,366/07, 3,368/07, 3,383/08, 3,388/08 and 3,389/08, which define the methodologies for the portions of capital necessary for credit, market and operating risks, as well as CMN Resolutions 3,444/07 and 3,490/07, amending rules for the determination of reference shareholders’ equity and setting the bases for the calculation of required reference shareholders’ equity. Therefore, as of July 2008, the National Financial System started operating according to the rules of the New Basel Capital Accord, standardized approach.

Determination of market value of financial instruments:

• Securities and derivative financial instruments, investments, subordinated debts and treasury shares are based on the market price on the balance sheet date. Should there be no available market price quotations, amounts are estimated based on the prices quoted by dealers, on price definition models, quotation models or quotations for instruments with similar characteristics;

• Fixed rate loan operations were determined by discounting estimated cash flows, using interest rates applied by the Bradesco Organization for new contracts with similar features. These rates are compatible with prices practiced in the market on the balance sheet date; and

• Time deposits, funds from issuance of securities and borrowing and onlending were calculated by discounting the difference between the cash flows under the contract terms and the rates practiced in the market on the balance sheet date.

33) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Bradesco and its subsidiaries sponsor a supplementary private pension plan for employees and directors, in the PGBL modality, which is a private pension plan of the variable contribution type that allows the accumulation of financial resources by participants over their professional careers through contributions paid by themselves and the sponsoring company. The related resources are invested in Exclusive investment Fund (FIE).

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

Contributions paid by employees and directors of Bradesco and its subsidiaries are equivalent to 4% of the salary, except for participants who, in 2001, opted to migrate to the PGBL plan from the defined benefit 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 variable contribution plan (PGBL) are fully covered by the net assets of the corresponding FIE.

In addition to the aforementioned variable contribution plan (PGBL), former participants of the defined benefit plan are guaranteed a proportional deferred benefit, corresponding to their accumulated rights in this plan. For participants of the defined benefit 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 plan assets.

Banco Alvorada S.A. (merging company of Banco Baneb S.A.) maintains supplementary retirement plans of variable contribution and defined benefit, through Fundação Baneb de Seguridade Social - Bases (related to former employees of Baneb). The actuarial liabilities of the variable contribution and defined benefit plans are fully covered by assets of the plans.

Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. (current name of Banco BEM S.A.) sponsors supplementary retirement plans of both defined benefit and variable contribution types, through the Assistance and Retirement Pension Fund for the Employees of the Bank of the State of Maranhão (Capof).

Alvorada Cartões, Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento S.A. (Alvorada CCFI) (merging company of Banco BEC S.A.) sponsors a defined benefit plan by means of the Private Pension Plan Fund of the Bank of the State of Ceará (Cabec).

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with approved Brazilian auditing standards, which require that we perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are fairly presented in all material respects. Accordingly, our work included, among other procedures: (a) planning our audits taking into consideration the significance of balances, the volume of transactions and the accounting and internal control systems of the Bank and its subsidiaries, (b) examining, on a test basis, evidence and records supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and (c) assessing the accounting practices used and significant estimates made by the Bank’s management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

3. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco Bradesco S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations, the changes in stockholders' equity, their cash flows and value added for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

Summary of the Audit Committee
 

Corporate Governance and Related Responsibilities

Bradesco’s Board of Directors opted for a single Audit Committee for all the companies comprising the Financial Conglomerate, including Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência (Insurance Group).

The Management is in charge of defining and implementing managerial information systems to prepare the financial statements of the companies comprising Bradesco Organization, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporation Law, the accounting principles adopted in Brazil, to rules of the National Monetary Council, the Brazilian Central Bank, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM), National Private Insurance Board (CNSP), the Insurance Superintendence (Susep) and the National Agency for Supplementary Healthcare (ANS).

The Management is also responsible for processes, policies and internal control procedures that ensure the protection of assets, the appropriate recognition of liabilities and the elimination or reduction at acceptable levels of Bradesco Organization’s risk factors.

The Independent Audit is in charge of examining the financial statements and issuing an opinion about their compliance with the accounting principles. Additionally, as a result of its works for the purpose of issuing the aforementioned opinion, it also advises on accounting procedures and internal controls, without prejudice to other reports to be prepared, such as quarterly limited reviews.

It is incumbent upon the Internal Audit (General Inspectorate Department) to check the quality of Bradesco Organization’s control systems and the regularity of policies and procedures established by the Management, including those adopted in the preparation of financial reports.

It is incumbent upon the Audit Committee to assess the quality and the effectiveness of the Internal and Independent Audits, the effectiveness and the sufficiency of Bradesco Organization’s control systems and to analyze the financial statements, providing the relevant recommendations, when applicable.

Among the Audit Committee’s duties, are also included those required by the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to companies listed on U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and shares quoted on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Audit Committee’s charter is available on the website www.bradesco.com.br, Corporate Governance website.

Activities performed in 2009

The Audit Committee attended 153 meetings with business, control and risk management areas, and with internal and independent auditors, checking the information on the matters considered relevant or critical by means of different sources.

The Audit Committee’s work schedule for 2009 is focused on the main processes and products referring to Bradesco Organization’s activities. Among the most relevant aspects, we point out the assessment of:

• the market, credit and operating risks management and control systems, preparation for the use of internal models in line with the conditions set forth by the New Basel Capital Accord (Basel II) and Brazilian Central Bank’s rules about the issue;

• the structure and operation of the areas responsible for monitoring the compliance with laws, regulation and Bradesco Organization’s internal rules related to consumer defense; and

• the improvement in the internal controls systems deriving from projects in the IT and Risk Management areas.

Internal Controls Systems

Based on the work program and agenda established for 2009, the Audit Committee informed on the main processes within the Organization, evaluating their managers’ quality and commitment to their continuous improvement.

As a result of meetings with Bradesco Organization’s areas, the Audit Committee had the opportunity to suggest the Board of Directors as to improve processes, as well as to monitor the corrections of gaps identified in the audit process.

Based on the information and remarks collected, the Audit Committee deems that the internal control system of Bradesco Organization is suitable to the size and complexity of its businesses and was structured so as to ensure the efficiency of its operations, the financial report- generating systems, as well as the compliance with the internal and external rules, to which the transactions are subject.

221


Independent Audit

The planning of the independent audit works for 2009 was discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes and, throughout the year, the audit teams responsible for the services presented the results and main conclusions to the Audit Committee.

The material issues pointed out in the report about the study and the evaluation of accounting and internal controls systems, prepared in connection with the examination of the financial statements and respective recommendations for the improvement of these systems, were discussed with the Committee which requested the monitoring of the implementations and improvements in the areas in charge.

Based on the planning submitted by auditors and on the subsequent discussions about the results, the Committee considered that the works developed by the teams were adequate to the Organization’s businesses.

Internal Audit

The Committee requested the Internal Audit to consider in its planning for 2009, several works in line with issues covered by the Committee’s agenda.

Throughout 2009, the teams in charge of executing planned works reported and discussed with the Audit Committee the main conclusions on process and inherent risks.

Based on the discussions on the planning of Internal Audit works focused on risks, processes and presentation of results, the Audit Committee believes that the Internal Audit has adequately met its demands so that the Committee Members can give their opinion on the topics discussed.

Consolidated Financial Statements

In 2009, the Committee held meetings with the General Accounting, Planning, Budget, Control and Internal Audit departments to monitor the preparation of the monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and annual financial statements. These meetings analyzed and assessed the aspects of preparing individual and consolidated trial balances and balance sheets, notes to the financial statements and financial reports published jointly with consolidated financial statements.

Bradesco’s accounting policies were also considered in the preparation of financial statements, as well as the compliance to the accounting principles adopted in Brazil, as well as with the applicable laws.

Prior to the disclosures of the Quarterly Financial Information (IFTs) and the half-yearly balance sheet, the Committee held private meetings with PricewaterhouseCoopers to assess the aspects of independence and control environment when producing the figures to be disclosed.

Based on aforementioned reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommends the Board of Directors the approval of the audited financial statements related to the year ended on December 31, 2009.
