Forward-Looking Statements

This Report on Economic and Financial Analysis contains forward-looking statements relative to our business, which are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends, which could affect our business. Words such as: “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “evaluates”, “predicts”, “foresees”, “projects”, “guidelines”, “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, 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 which, 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 forward-looking statements.

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

Accordingly, the reader should not place excessive reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements are valid only as at 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 any other motive.


Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Practices

To assure Bradesco’s adhesion to the best international practices for transparency and corporate governance, we point out “Risk Factors” and “Critical Accounting Practices”. We consider these factors and practices the most significant and those which could affect our daily business, the results of our operations or our financial position. We stress that Bradesco addresses the management of all risks inherent to its activities in a complete and integrated manner. This integrated approach facilitates the improvement of risk management models and avoids the existence of any gap that could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment of these risks.

Risks Relating to Brazil

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

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

We cannot control or predict which measures or policies the Brazilian Government may take in response to the current or future situation of the Brazilian economy or how these measures or policies may affect the Brazilian economy and, both directly and indirectly, our operations and revenues.

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

In the last 15 years, Brazil has undergone extremely high inflation rates, with annual rates (IGP – DI from Fundação Getulio Vargas) reaching as high as 2,708% in 1993. More recently, Brazil’s inflation rates were 1.2% in 2005, 3.8% in 2006 and 1.4% in the 1st half of 2007. Inflation and governmental measures to combat it have had in past years significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. In addition, public speculation about possible future actions has also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets. If Brazil suffers a period of high inflation in the future, our costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor’s confidence lags, the price of our stocks and ADSs may drop. Inflationary pressures may curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and may occasionally lead to further government interventions in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.

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

The market of securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil and, at different levels, by the market conditions in other Latin American countries and other emerging countries. Although economic conditions in these countries may significantly differ from the Brazilian economic conditions, the investors’ reaction to events in these countries may have an adverse effect in the market value of the Brazilian companies’ securities. Crises in other emerging countries or economic policies in other countries, specially in United States and European Union countries, may reduce the demand of investors for Brazilian companies’ securities, including ours. Any of the events described above may negatively affect the market price of our stocks and make harder or even prevent our access to capital markets and our financing in future operations in acceptable conditions.

II


4) Developments in other emerging markets may adversely affect the market value of our stocks and ADSs

The market value of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected by declines in the international financial markets and world economic conditions. The Brazilian securities market is influenced by the local and other emerging countries’ economy, especially those in Latin America. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reaction to developments in one country may affect the securities markets and the securities issued in other countries, including Brazil.

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

Risks Relating to Bradesco and the Brazilian Banking and Insurance Industries

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

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

The regulatory structure governing Brazilian banks and insurance companies is continuously evolving, and the laws and regulations could be amended. Besides, the enforcement or interpretation of laws and regulations could change, and new laws and regulations could be adopted. Such changes could materially affect in a negative manner our operations and our results.

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

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

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

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

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

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

On June 30, 2007 Cidade de Deus – Companhia Comercial de Participações held 48.46% of our common stocks and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 48.32% of our common stocks. As a result, these stockholders have the power to prevent a change in control of our company, even if a transaction of that nature would be beneficial to our other stockholders, as well as to approve related-party transactions or corporate reorganizations, which may not be beneficial to our other stockholders.

III


Critical Accounting Practices

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

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

In terms of materiality, the following 5 items outline the accounting policies deemed as critical, as well as areas requiring a greater judgment and estimate or involving a higher level of complexity, which may affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. The accounting estimates made under such context impel us to make assumptions on highly uncertain issues. In each case, if we had made other estimates, or if changes in estimates had occurred period by period, these could have significantly impacted our financial condition or the results of our operations:

1) Allowance for Loan Losses

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

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

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

Our determination of allowance for loan losses is influenced by the risk rating of each loan operation. By assuming a positive fluctuation of 1% in delinquency ratio expected for our loan operations portfolio in full performance on June 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses would increase approximately R$44 million. Such sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and intends to illustrate the risk rating and loss severity impact on our allowance for loan losses and, thus, must not be considered as an observation of our expectations for future determinations of risk rating or future alterations in loss severity. In view of the procedures we observe, in order to determine our risk rating of loan portfolio and our assessment of loss severity, we believe that the current risk rating and the estimate of loss severity for our loan portfolio are appropriate.

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

2) Assessment of Securities and Derivatives

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

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

IV


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

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

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

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

3) Classification of Securities

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

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

4) Taxes on Income

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

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

5) Use of Estimates

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

V


Corporate Strategy

We understand that the expansion of the Brazilian economy, jointly with a strong growth of the Brazilian population, will increase the demand for such services. Under such context, our main objective is to maintain the focus on the domestic market and take advantage of our position as the largest private bank in Brazil, to expand profitability, maximize value to our stockholders and generate higher returns compared to other Brazilian financial institutions.

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

In the banking segment, we aim at rendering the most varied range of services as a retail bank, supported by a staff with more than 80 thousand employees, a wide Service Network, including our Branches, Corporate Site Branches, Banco Postal and Bradesco Expresso (Correspondent Banks), besides the ATMs, always concerned with the expansion of business volume. We are also focused on expanding our businesses as a wholesale bank in all its aspects (investment bank and corporate business) and expand our private banking business.

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

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

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

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

The key elements of our business strategy are:

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

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

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

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

VI


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VII


4) To maintain Bradesco’s commitment to technological innovation

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

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

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

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

We intend to improve our efficiency levels:

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

6) To maintain acceptable risk levels in our operations

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

7) To enter into strategic alliances and selective acquisitions

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

Bradesco’s Net Income in 1H07 reached R$3,506 million, accounting for an 11.9% increase in relation to Net Income of the same period of the previous year. Bradesco’s Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$27,515 million as of June 30, 2007, equivalent to a 28.2% increase compared to the balance as of June 30, 2006. Consequently, the annualized return on Average Stockholders’ Equity (ROAE) reached 28,8%. Total consolidated assets reached R$290,568 million as of June 30, 2007, accounting for a 24.7% growth in relation to the balance of same date of the previous year. The annualized return on Average Assets (ROAA), in 1H07, was 2.5% . Earnings per stock reached R$1.75.

The main items influencing net income in 1H07, compared to the previous period, can be seen below:

(a) Net Interest Income – R$798 million

Such growth is mainly due to “interest” component, with a share of R$823 million (R$1,848 million due to the increase in business volume, and R$1,025 million to the decrease in spreads), pointing out a 19.0% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals carried out in the twelve-month period ended on June 30, 2007, mainly concerned with consumer sales and personal loan financing, the spread of which is higher if compared to corporate loans.

(b)Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$(450) million

The variation is mostly due to a 22.1% increase in the volume of loan operations in the twelve-month period ended on June 30, 2007, pointing out the individual client operations, mainly under the type “consumer financing”, with an increase of 24.0%, which, in view of its specific characteristic requires, a higher volume of provision.

(c) Fee and Commission Income – R$1,037 million

The increase in the period is mainly due to a higher volume of operations and to Amex Brasil consolidation, pointing out the items “Card Income” R$435 million, “Loan Operations” R$170 million, “Checking Accounts” R$152 million, “Assets under Management” R$70 million, “Charging” R$52 million, “Custody and Brokerage Services” R$29 million and “Collections” R$16 million.

(d)Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$(839) million

Out of such amount, R$221 million of personnel expenses is due to: (i) the increase in salary levels resulting from the collective bargaining agreement of 2006 (3.5%); (ii) higher PLR expenses R$68 million; (iii) the consolidation of Amex Brasil and Fidelity R$77 million; mitigated by: (iv) lower expenses with provision for labor proceedings R$44 million.

The R$492 million of other administrative expenses basically refers to: (i) the effects on increased volume of business; (ii) the investments in the improvement and optimization of the technological platform; and (iii) contractual adjustments in the period.

The R$126 million of tax expenses derives basically from (i) the increase in PIS/Cofins expenses R$65 million, due to the increase in taxable income; (ii) the increase in ISS expenses R$26 million; and (iii) the higher CPMF expenses R$15 million.

In the 2nd quarter of 2007, Bradesco’s Net Income reached R$1,801 million, which corresponds to a 5.6% growth when compared to the 1st quarter of 2007. Bradesco’s Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$27,515 million on June 30, 2007, an 5.7% increase in relation to March 31, 2007. Total consolidated assets reached R$290,568 million as of June 30, 2007, growing 3.1% in the quarter.

The main items influencing net income in the 2nd quarter of 2007 compared to the previous quarter can be seen below:

(a) Net Interest Income – R$685 million

Such variation is due to the growth in the “non-interest” income in the amount of R$463 million, in view of the higher TVM and treasury gains in 2Q07 and the increase in the result of interest -bearing operations in the amount of R$222 million (R$283 million due to the increase in business volume, especially due to consumer financing operations, and R$61 million to the decrease in spreads) .

(b)Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$(184) million

The increase of the expense in 2Q07 is consistent with the growth of our loan portfolio (by R$6,718 million or 6.6%) and mainly with the growth in operations with individual clients, which, due to its characteristic, requires higher provisioning volume.

(c) Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Certificated Savings Plans Operations –R$(125) million

The variation is basically due to the higher recording of technical provision in the traditional pension plan and “PGBL/Traditional” and “VGBL” products.

(d)Fee and Commission Income – R$50 million

The increase is mostly due to an expansion in the volume of operations in the quarter, reflecting substantially in the following items: “Loan Operations” R$27 million; and “Card Income” R$24 million.

(e) Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$(290) million

Out of this amount, R$189 million of personnel expenses is due to: (i) the increase in expenses with provisions for labor proceedings in the amount of R$73 million; (ii) the increase in the PLR expense in the amount of R$10 million; and (iii) the higher expenses incurred this quarter as compared to the previous one due to the concentration of vacation in the 1st quarter.

The R$104 million of other administrative expenses refers basically to higher expenses with: (i) “Third -party Services” R$40 million; (ii) “Advertising” R$22 million; (iii) “Communication” R$12 million; and (iv) “Data Processing” R$9 million.

Analysis of the Statement of Income – R$ million 
 

Income from Loan Operations and Leasing Result 
 


1st Half/2006    1st Half/2007    Variation %    1st Qtr./2007    2nd Qtr./2007    Variation % 
9,966    10,311    3.5    5,126    5,185    1.2 
   
In the period, income was up mainly a result of: (i) the increase in the volume of the loan portfolio, which totaled R$108,191 in June/07 against R$88,643 in June/06, i.e., a 22.1% increase, particularly in the corporate portfolio, with an increase of 24.3%, focusing on “BNDES Onlending”, “Guaranteed Account”, “Operations Abroad” and “Working Capital” products. In the individual portfolio, the growth was 19.0%, with focus on the products connected to consumer financing; which was partially affected by; (ii) higher exchange loss variation of 9.9% in 1H07, against an exchange loss variation of 7.5% in 1H06, affecting foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, which comprise 10.1% of total Loan and Leasing Operations, basically derived from corporate portfolio (excluding Advances on Foreign Exchange Contracts – ACC); and (iii) de crease in average interest rates, observing the 6.0% CDI variation in 1H07, against 7.8% in 1H06. 
 
The variation in income in the quarter was mainly due to: (i) an increase of 6.6% in the loan portfolio volume, which reached the amount of R$108,191 in June/07, against R$101,473 in March/07, considering that in the corporate portfolio there was an increase of 6.1%, with focus on “Operations Abroad”, “Working Capital” and “BNDES Onlending” products, whereas in the individual portfolio the increase was 7.4%, with focus on products linked to consumer financing, which was partially mitigated: (ii) by the drop in the average interest rates, observing the 2.9% CDI variation in 2Q07, against 3.0% in 1Q07; and (iii) by the higher exchange loss variation of 6.1% in 2Q07, against exchange loss variation of 4.1% in 1Q07, affecting our foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, comprising 10.1% of total Loan and Leasing Operations, basically d erived from the corporate portfolio (excluding Advances on Foreign Exchange Contracts – ACC).

The increase in income in the period is practically due to: (i) the increase in the portfolio’s average volume; which was partially offset by: (ii) the higher exchange loss variation of 9.9% in 1H07, against an exchange loss variation of 7.5% in 1H06, impacting on the foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, comprising 6.3% of the portfolio; (iii) the lower “non-interest” income R$194; and (iv) the reduction in the average interest rates, observing the 6.0% CDI variation in 1H07, against 7.8% in 1H06. 
 
The variation in income in the quarter is mainly due to: (i) the increase in the portfolio’s average volume; (ii) the higher “non-interest” income gains of R$376; partially offset by: (iii) the higher exchange loss variation of 6.1% in 2Q07, against exchange loss variation of 4.1% in 1Q07, impacting on the foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, comprising 6.3% of the portfolio; and (iv) the reduction in the average interest rates, observing the 2.9% CDI variation in 2Q07, against 3.0% in 1Q07.

Profitability 
 

Bradesco’s Adjusted Net Income reached R$3,506 million in 1H07, against R$3,132 million reached in the same period of 2006, which corresponds to an 11.9% increase. Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$27,515 million on June 30, 2007, with a growth of 28.2% compared to the balance as of June 30, 2006. Accordingly, the annualized Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity (ROAE) reached 28.8% . Total Assets added up to R$290,568 million at the end of June 30, 2007, growing 24.7% when compared to the balance of June 30, 2006. The annualized Return on Average Assets (ROAA) in 1H07 was 2.5% . Earnings per stock reached R$1.75.

In 2Q07, the income was R$1,801 million, representing an increase of R$96 million or 5.6% when compared to the Net Income in 1Q07. The annualized Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity (ROAE) reached 29.5% in the quarter and the Return on Average Assets (ROAA), in 2Q07, was 2.5% . Earnings per stock reached R$0.90.

2Q07 showed an increase in the income composing the Net Interest Income which, composed mainly by higher “non-interest” results, reached the amount of R$874 million, a R$463 million increase, compared to 1Q07, deriving, basically, from higher gains of treasury and TVM operations. In addition, the result with interest reached R$4,830 million, a R$222 million increase (R$283 million related to business volume increase and R$61 million related to spread reduction). That increase is mainly due to the growth in business volume, particularly the 6.6% growth in the volume of loan operations for individual and corporate clients, which was offset by the fall in the interest rates, which had a negative impact on the result of several of Bradesco’s assets and liabilities which generate interest.

The Operating Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Certificated Savings Plans showed in 2Q07 a decrease of R$125 million, a reflection of the higher constitution of technical provision in the “PGBL/Traditional” and “VGBL” products.

In 2Q07, the allowance for doubtful accounts expenses was R$1,344 million, an increase of R$184 million when compared to the previous quarter. This variation is due to the growth of our loan portfolio and mainly to the growth in the operations with individual clients, which requires a higher provision volume due to its characteristic.

The Operating Efficiency Ratio, in the 12-month period ended on June 30, 2007 was 42.0%, an improvement of 0.1 percentage point when compared to the ratio of the 12-month period ended on March 30, 2007, which was 42.1%, and 1.2 percentage point when compared to the period ended on June 30, 2006, principally as a result of the combination of strict expense control with permanent efforts for increase in revenue.

The Coverage Ratio in the last 12 months [(fee and commission income)/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses)] improved 1.4 percentage point, increasing from 78.0% in March 2007 to 79.4% in June 2007 and 7.0 percentage points when compared to the 72.4% of June 2006.

Financial Market Indicators 
 



Analysis of Net Interest Income 
 
a) Net Interest Income Adjustment 
 

We show separately the hedge fiscal effect referring to investments abroad in the compared periods, which in terms of Net Income, simply annuls the fiscal effect (IR/CS and PIS/Cofins) of this hedge strategy.

The fiscal effect is caused for the foreign exchange variation of investments abroad is not deductible when there is loss and not taxable when there is gain, while the derivatives result is taxable when it generates gain and deductible when it generates loss.

Thus, the gross hedge result is reflected in the Net Interest Income, in the “Results of Derivative Financial Instruments” account, and in the “Tax Expenses” and “Taxes on Income” accounts, the respective taxes, as shown below:

For a better evaluation of Net Interest Income evolution in the periods, the effects of this hedge and the foreign exchange variation of investments abroad in net interest income were excluded, as well as the sale of our stake in Arcelor in 2Q07, as follows:

% Adjusted over Average Assets    9.3    7.8    –    7.5    8.2    – 

b) Comments on the Adjusted Net Interest Income Variation 
 

In 1H07, the adjusted net interest income reached R$10,723 million, an 8.0% increase on the R$9,925 million recorded in 1H06. The result in 2Q07 was R$5,704 million, a 13.6% increase compared to the R$5,019 million in 1Q07. The analytical opening of the net interest income result among “interest” and “non-interest” results is shown below:

Interests due to spreads            (1,025)           (61)
(=) Net Interest Income – Interest     8,615    9,438    823    4,608    4,830    222 
(+) Net Interest Income – Non-Interest     1,310    1,285    (25)   411    874    463 
(=) Adjusted Net Interest Income     9,925    10,723    798    5,019    5,704    685 

The “interest” net interest income in 1H07 amounted to R$9,438 million against R$8,615 million recorded in the same period of the previous year, accounting for an increase of 9.6% or R$823 million. This variation was essentially due to the increase in the volume of operations, which positively affected the “interest” net interest income in R$1,848 million, offsetting the drop of R$1,025 million resulting from the spreads shrinkage occurred between the periods compared.

Comparing 2Q07 and 1Q07, the “interest” net interest income amounted to R$4,830 million, an increase of R$222 million. This variation was positively impacted in R$283 million as a result of the increase in volumes. The drop in spreads, however, had an adverse effect on the net interest income in R$61 million.

The evolution of loan operations significantly contributed to the increase of the financial intermediation result, as it grew by 6.6% only this quarter and 22.1% in the last 12 months, amounting to R$108.2 billion at the end of 2Q07.

The loan operations portfolios, mainly responsible for the increase of the net interest income, were the consumer financing operations portfolios.

We point out that the partnerships entered into with retail networks for the management of the Private Label credit cards also contributed to the increase of loan operations. The management of Private Label credit cards comprises Bradesco’s products and services trading and the acquisition of credit card operations of Amex Brasil, which impacted mainly on the comparison between 1H07 and 1H06, since the merger of this company was in June 2006.

65


Despite the exchange loss variation of 6.1% in 2Q07 and of 9.9% in 1H07, the balance of loan operations indexed and/or denominated borrowings and onlendings (excluding ACCS) increased by 20.0% in dollars and 12.7% in reais in the quarter. In the last 12 months, the increase was 70.5% and 51.7%, respectively, mainly due to the increased volume of operations carried out in Branches and Subsidiaries abroad.

Another highlight was the growth of checking accounts base, reaching the number of 303 thousand new checking accounts in 2Q07, 275 thousand of which for individual clients and 28 thousand for corporate clients. This growth positively impacted on, among others, the expansion of the volume of demand and savings deposits which, during 2Q07, increased 4.5% and 2.9%, respectively. The comparison between the last 12 months shows a higher increase of 26.3% in demand and 14.4% in savings deposits. It is worth pointing out that this growth was essential to mitigate the drop of spread of the funding operations due to the decrease in the interest rates (Selic).

Below, we can observe the “interest” net interest income comparing the quarterly history since 2005:


The annualized “interest” net interest income rate amounted to 7.0% in 2Q07, the same as the previous quarter. The operations with individual clients had a growth of 7.4% in the last quarter, higher than the 6.1% growth in corporate clients operations. It is worth pointing out that the spreads in operations with individual clients are higher than those with corporate clients. They require, however, higher allowance for doubtful accounts, due to the higher delinquency level.

The result of the adjusted net interest income coming from “non-interest” results in 2Q07 showed an increase of R$463 million when compared to 1Q07. This is due to higher gains with securities and treasury. In 1H07, the net interest income from “non-interest” results was practically the same as the previous year.

Fee and Commission Income increased by 25.1 % in the 1st half of 2007 totaling R$5,168 million, which represents a R$1,037 million growth when compared to the same period of the previous year.

The main items that influenced the expansion of Fee and Commission Income between the periods were:

– the growth of 61.9%, represented by the increase of R$435 million in the item “Income from Cards”, related to the increase of 20.4% of the cards base, from 52.5 million to 63.2 million, influenced by the consolidation of Amex Brasil;

– the strategy of client segmentation (Private, Prime, Corporate, Middle Market and Retail), jointly with the tariff realignment and client base growth, which boosted the item “Checking Accounts”, up by R$152 million;

– the increase in the volume of Loan Operations, especially to individuals, with highlights to the products “Personal Loan” and “Vehicles”, which was the major factor for the increase in the item “Revenues from Loan Operations”, with a R$170 million improvement; and

– the volume growth of 17.2% in assets under management, from R$137.6 billion on June 30, 2006 to R$161.3 billion on June 30, 2007, which was the main reason for the growth in the item “Assets under Management”, which increased by R$70 million.

When compared to the previous quarter, Fee and Commission Income showed an expansion of 2.0%, with a R$50 million growth, as a result of the increased volume of businesses in 2Q07, pointing out increases in the items “Loan Operations” R$27 million and “Income from Cards” R$ 24 million.

Operating Efficiency Ratio – in percentage 
 


70


The Operating Efficiency Ratio (year-to-date) up to June 2007 was 42.0%, an increase of 0.1 percentage point when compared to the 12-month period ended in March 2007. It is also worth mentioning the higher net interest income in R$754 million, basically stemming from the “interest” component, stimulated by an increment in business volume, with highlights to an increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals, mainly focused on consumer financing, the profitability of which is higher if compared to the corporate loans, and to an increased fee and commission income, in R$518 million, as a result of the increase in the average volume of transactions, the fee realignment and the segmentation process.

The Coverage Ratio accumulated in the last 12 months (fee and commission income)/ (personnel expenses + administrative expenses) improved 1.4 percentage point, increasing from 78.0% in March 2007 to 79.4% in June 2007, and 7.0 percentage points when compared to the 72.4% of June 2006.

The loan portfolio for individuals showed an upturn when compared to the previous quarter, with evolution of 7.4% in the quarter, accruing 19.0% in the last twelve months. The main products responsible for the portfolio growth in the quarter were the vehicles financing and personal loan.

The balance reached the amount of R$40.1 billion in June 2007, representing an 8.3% growth in the quarter and 24.0% in the last twelve months. We point out the vehicle financing and the payroll-deductible loans that are linked to payroll charges types, for its guarantees and characteristics, provided the portfolio with an adequate loan risk level. Thus, these two portfolios represented, at the end of 2Q07, 60.5% of the total consumer financing balance.

The fall in the interest rates observed in the market made savings accounts more appealing, causing a different seasonal behavior in which investments offset withdrawals, thus resulting in a balance higher than the levels as in December 2006.

In this half, Grupo Bradesco maintained an outstanding position among the main insurance companies in the Brazilian Basic Line (RE) Insurance Market, with a 7.6% share of total market sales in this area.

The Brazilian economic growth has been providing the obtainment of new insurances in the Great Risks area, due to the establishment of new industries, expansion of industrial park of several companies and circulation of goods in the Brazilian ports, highways and railroads. In addition, the development of the oil area and growth of aircraft fleet in Brazil has determined new business opportunities in the Oil and Aeronautic Risks segment.

In Lines related to Equity Insurances, Bradesco Auto/RE has updated the insurance programs of its main clients, by means of partnerships with brokers specialized in the segment and closeness to Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas.

The Transportation segment is still the main focus, with material investments to improve new businesses, specially, among others, the qualification of Managers of Transportation Products, which will be established in the main Brazilian Economic Centers, and the creation of Bradesco Cargo System, a complete Transports Insurance Management System in the Internet.

In the mass market insurance segment of Basic Lines, whose products are designed to individuals, self-employed professionals and SMEs, the launch of new products and continuous improvement of processes and systems has contributed to the growth of the client base, mainly in the residential and equity insurances, such as Bradesco Seguro Residencial and Bradesco Seguro Empresarial. These products were updated, and a new system for sale in the Internet was developed, which enabled a faster and more efficient contracting process.

Another positive aspect is the increase in sales of agricultural machinery and equipment, which enables opportunities of contracting insurance lines related to these segments: Bradesco Seguro Equipamentos, Bradesco Seguro Benfeitorias, Bradesco Seguro Penhor Rural Público and Bradesco Seguro Penhor Rural Privado.

In the Auto/RCF Line, despite of the strong competition, the Insurance Company has increased its client base, mainly due to the creation of products for specific publics, such as Bradesco Seguro Exclusivo Cliente Bradesco, for Banco Bradesco’s account holders, Auto Mulher, for the female public, and Auto Corretor, for insurance brokers.

Bradesco Capitalização 
 

Bradesco Capitalização’s outstanding position in the certificated savings plans market is the result of its transparent operating policy, which is focused on adjusting its products to meet the potential consumer demand.

Regionally, Bradesco Capitalização is a leading company in two Brazilian states, according to the latest figures for May 2007 published by Susep. The company’s market share was 29.3% in Amazonas and 27.2% in São Paulo.

Aiming at offering the bond that best suits its clients’ different profiles and budgets, a number of products were developed, which vary in accordance with the type of payment (single or monthly), contribution terms, regularity of draws and related prize amounts. That phase was important due to the closeness to the public, by means of the consolidation of Pé Quente Bradesco family products.

Continuing the consolidation process of traditional products, in March 2007, the product Pé Quente Bradesco Sorte Dia&Noite was launched. The monthly-paid new product arouses interest due to the low value installments (R$10.00) and offers raffles of R$25 thousand, gross, every Saturday, and one special prize of R$50 thousand from July to December. The public may obtain this new product through the Internet, Fone Fácil Bradesco and ATMs.

We also point out the important performance of social-environmental products, such as Pé Quente Bradesco SOS Mata Atlântica, which, in addition to enabling the formation of a financial reserve, contributes to reforestation projects of Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, as well as Pé Quente Bradesco GP Ayrton Senna, whose great competitive advantage is the destination of a percentage of the amount collected with bonds to social projects of Instituto Ayrton Senna and O Câncer de Mama no Alvo da Moda (Breast Cancer in the Fashion Target). Upon acquiring this last product, the client contributes to the development of projects of prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of cancer in Brazil, since part of the amount collected is given to IBCC – Brazilian Institute of Cancer Control.

 Rating
 

Standard & Poor’s increased from “brAA+/Positive” to “brAAA/Stable” the rating of Bradesco Capitalização, which is the only company of the certificated savings plans segment with this rating.

111


Capital Markets
 

During 1H07, BBI coordinated important variable and fixed income transactions, which amounted to R$12.6 billion. That volume represents 31.4% of the total amount of stocks issues, stocks deposit certificates, debentures, FIDCs and promissory notes recorded by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) in the same period.

We highlight our participation as joint bookrunner in the public offerings of stocks of Marfrig Frigoríficos e Comércio de Alimentos S.A., in the amount of R$1.2 billion and Drogasil S.A., in the amount of R$447.5 million. As coordinators, we highlight the operations of JBS S.A., in the amount of R$1.6 billion, LOG-IN Logística Intermodal S.A., in the amount of R$848.2 million and PDG Realty S.A. Empreendimentos e Participações, in the amount of R$724.5 million.

We point out our coordination in the issue of debentures of Cyrela Brazil Realty S.A., in the amount of R$500.0 million, and of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição, in the amount of R$779.6 million.

In addition to the local market, BBI also operates in the international capital markets, originating, structuring debt transactions (commercial papers, notes and bonds) for placement with foreign investors. Among the operations we took part in, we highlight CVRD’s bond in the total amount of US$3.8 billion, and the Minerva Overseas Ltd. bond, in the amount of US$150.0 million, with the subsequent reopening in a further US$50 million.

Mergers and Acquisitions
 

BBI is also responsible for financial advisory services in mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, joint ventures, corporate restructuring and privatization.

In 1H07, we provided advisory services in three important operations: the acquisition of Banco BMC S.A. by Banco Bradesco S.A., the acquisition of the sugar and alcohol businesses of Grupo Tavares de Mello by Louis Dreyfus Commodities Bioenergia S.A and the sale of part of the stake held by Bradesco Organization at Serasa S.A.

Project Financing
 

BBI has a solid track record playing the role of financial advisor and structurer for several greenfield projects in the Project and Corporate Finance categories, always seeking the best financing solution for projects. It operates in the most important sectors of the economy and has an excellent relationship with several different promotion agencies, such as BNDES, BID and IFC, as well as with export credit agencies (ECAs).

In 1H07, among the projects carried out by BBI, it is worth pointing out the completion of the long-term financing advisory and structuring, in the amount of approximately R$490.0 million, in the Project Finance type, for Itumbiara Transmissora de Energia S.A., a 811-km power transmission line between Cuiabá (state of Mato Grosso) and Itumbiara (state of Minas Gerais).

Structured Operations
 

The Structured Operations area develops structures used to segregate credit risks, through securitization, using Special Purpose Entities (SPEs), Loan Grants with shared risk, Credit Right Investment Funds (FIDCs), Certificates of Real Estate Receivables (CRIs) and Medium- and Long-term Financing Structuring, based on receivables and/or other collaterals.

In addition, this area is capable of structuring models of properly protected medium and long-term financings based on pre-defined cash flows pursuant to specific covenants and guarantees, which minimize the risks of each transaction, and seek solutions with the purpose of meeting the specific needs of the companies, such as decrease in the use of

112


working capital, increase in liquidity, optimization of the financial and tax costs, demobilization, and structured financings. It coordinates syndicated loan processes, including the extension of debts, which can be refinanced, structured by the commercial Bank or by third parties.

Within this context, it creates efficient solutions of specific structures focused on the financing and the execution of acquisition finance operations, highlighting, in 1H07, the acquisition finance of Companhia Açucareira Vale do Rosário, in the amount of R$1.3 billion, FIDC CESP IV, Cesp – Companhia Energética de São Paulo, in the amount of R$1.3 billion and FIDC Hiper, Supermercados G.

Bradesco has been playing an important role in the consortium purchase plan industry, providing the population with access to loan for the acquisition of personal and real property. The freedom to select an asset is one of the main characteristics of the plans sold by Bradesco Consórcios, since the consortium member is free to choose, according to value of the Letter of Credit, the automobile, real property, truck, tractor or agricultural implement of his/her preference when he/she wins the draw.

In 2Q07, 88 groups were inaugurated and 38.1 thousand consortium quotas were sold. Until June 2007, we recorded total accumulated sales exceeding 306.5 thousand consortium quotas, achieving sales results in excess of R$9.6 billion and recording 123.9 thousand draws, with 94.2 thousand properties delivered and 1,614 active groups.

Risk Management and Compliance 
 

Credit Risks, Market Risks, Liquidity, Operational risks, Internal Controls and Compliance
 

Bradesco deems the risk management essential in all its activities, using it with the purpose of adding value to its business, to the extent this enables support to the business areas in the planning of their activities, maximizing the utilization of own funds and of third parties, in benefit of stockholders and the company.

We also understand that the risk management activity is greatly relevant, due to the growing complexity of services and products offered by the Organization, and also in view of the globalization of its business. Therefore, Bradesco is constantly improving its risk management-related activities, in pursuit of the best internationally used practices, however duly adjusted to Brazil’s reality.

The Organization carries out considerable investments in activities related to risk management, especially in the qualification of employees. The purpose of these activities is enhancing the quality of risk management of the Conglomerate, and to ensure the necessary focus on these activities, which produce a strong added value.

Corporate Governance
 

In the wide sense, the Corporate Governance process represents the set of practices that aims to optimize the performance of a company and protect stakeholders, such as stockholders, investors, employees, etc, as well as to facilitate access to capital, add value to the company and contribute to its sustainability, involving, mainly, aspects focused on transparency, equity of treatment of shareholders and account rendering.

Under the Risk Management focus, the Corporate Governance structure at Bradesco Organization includes an effective follow-up of the risk management which protects the interests of stakeholders, internal and external parties of the company, upon the operation of 4 bylaws committees proposed by the Board of Directors and by approval of the Stockholders’ Meeting and, also, 34 executive committees, subordinated to the CEO and established by approval of the Board of Directors. The committees comply with specific rules of establishment, alteration and extinguishment and each one has clearly defined in its regulation: the purpose, subordination, attributions, compositions, duties and responsibilities of its members, the frequency, call and quorum of the meetings.

Governance Structure
 

147


This structure is aligned with the best practices, considering that it counts on independent Board members, Committees with specific functions and dedicated directive structure, establishing policies, guidelines and rules, and proving human resources, materials and technology focused on these activities.

Risk Management Process
 

Bradesco approaches the management of all the risks inherent to its activities in an integrated manner, within a process, based on the support from its Internal Controls and Compliance structure.

This view allows the ongoing improvement of its risk management models, avoiding gaps that could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment.

Risk Management
 

The positioning of the Risk Management and Compliance Department – DGRC in the organizational structure reflects the Organization’s commitment to the issue, since the treatment and the integration of the Credit, Market and Operational risks into one independent Department bring great advantages to risk management, meeting the concepts enacted by the New Capital Accord (Basel II) and the best Corporate Governance practices.

Organizational Structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department:
 

148


The Department also has as attribution the responsibility for the compliance with the Resolutions 2,554 (Internal Control), 3,380 (Operational risk), 3,464 (Market Risk) of the Brazilian Monetary Council, and with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404.

The risk management process in Bradesco comprises a virtuous circle, which involves the identification, measurement, mitigation, control, monitoring and report of these risks to several areas and Committees involved. This process is supported by a structure which comprises the Senior Management, by means of Executive Committees (responsible for the definition of the tolerance to risks in the Organization), including the Risk Management and Compliance Department to quantify and monitor risks, up to the several areas of businesses and products in the risk identification.

Identification of risks: present in the day to day of the units of businesses and products this activity considers the definition, identification and diagnostic of the risk, task made by means of the structure of Internal Controls and Compliance;

Measurement of risks: it involves the use of a series of methodologies, such as calculation of the expected and unexpected losses, calculation of VaR (Value at Risk), stress tests and use of market benchmarks;

Mitigation of risks: it represents the reduction of the gross exposure level to risks, leading to an acceptable residual by means of the adoption of instruments aiming at its transfer or implementation of effective controls, periodically revaluated and regularly tests as to its adequate execution;

Monitoring and control of risks: it uses the results of measurement models for the establishment of policies and limits. These limits are divided and monitored daily, weekly, monthly or according to each situation. In addition, we have an integrated management system which incorporates several elements, such as specific models for measurement of each one of the risks, historical data base, strict procedures of internal controls and a highly qualified team in the risk management function; and

Report of risks: for each business unit information aiming at the integrated risk management is reported in analytical and consolidated bases.

New Capital Accord – Basel II
 

Structure and Fundamentals
 

One of the main functions of the central banks of several countries is the supervision of the financial system under their jurisdiction, in the sense of avoiding and mitigating possible banking crises which may deeply affect local economies.

With the financial globalization, a banking crisis in a certain country may affect the banking and economic activities of other countries, with the need of alignment of the supervision activities of the several central banks, so as to level the measurement criteria of the banking risk among the countries and ensure the solvability of the international financial market. This need was met by the Basel Capital Agreement of 1988. The main guideline of this Agreement was the requirement of minimum capital in relation to the credit risk. The supervisors of each country require from the banks under their jurisdiction a minimum capital amount in relation to their portfolio assets, weighted by the risk level determined by supervisors. Later, in 1996, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision added market risk as one more risk factor to be considered for capital allocation.

149


With the evolution of the world banking scenario and the acceleration of the integration pace of several national financial systems through complex and sophisticated instruments, there was the need to improve the Capital requirement rules established 1988 and 1996. The New Capital Agreement (Basel II), disclosed in June 2004, after more than six years of studies, deepens the conquests of the previous Agreement, based on the “three pillars”:


The First Pillar has two main innovations concerning the previous Agreements: a) the risk weighing rules which currently are established by the regulator, may be based on internal classifications of the banks themselves; and b) the addition to the capital requirement of the amounts related to the operational risk.

The Second Pillar comes from the fact that the supervising authority excludes from the function of determining the risk level of banking assets in the internal evaluation models. The exclusion fundamental is that the banks themselves have the best capacity to determine them. On the other hand, the supervising tasks of the banking authority are added to the internal risk measurement processes of the banks under its jurisdiction.

The Third Pillar recommends to the banks a set of minimum information for the disclosure to the market, so that it can make a better evaluation based on the risks incurred by each one of the institutions in their activities.

Implementation in Brazil
 

As of 1994, the Central Bank of Brazil started disclosing normative rulings based on the orientations given by the Basel Agreement for follow-up of the credit risk of the financial instructions and as of 2001 for market risk.

The Notice 12,746 of the Central Bank of Brazil, as of December 2004, establishes a schedule for the implementation of the structure of the New Capital Agreement – Basel II. In Brazil, the implementation of the standardized approach is estimated for 2007/2008. This approach must be adopted by all banks of Brazil.

The Notice 12,746 also provides for the implementation of advanced approaches, as the table below:

150


2008 – 2009   
– Validation of internal models for market risk; 
 
– Establishment of a validation schedule of the basic approach version based on internal systems, and 
 
– Disclosure of criteria for the recognition of internal models for operational risk. 
 
2009 – 2010   
– Validation of the advanced approach version based on internal systems; and 
 
– Establishment of the validation schedule for the advanced approach of operational risk. 
 
2010 – 2011   
– Validation of internal methodologies to ascertain the capital requirement for operational risk. 

In accordance with the New Agreement, the Central Bank of Brazil published Resolutions 3,380 and 3,464 which deal with the implementation of structures for operational and market risk management, respectively. Resolution 3,444 was also published, changing the ascertainment rules of the Capital (Reference Equity).

Implementation of Basel II in the Bradesco Conglomerate
 

Based on the consulting documents disclosed by the Basel Committees and on the exercises of quantitative impacts (QIS) for implementation of Basel II, Bradesco, since 2003, is getting prepared in an integrated manner to the adequacy to the requirements proposed by these documents.

In 2004, with the publication of the definite document New Capital Accord (International Convergence on Capital Standards and Capital Measurement), an internal implementation plan was established, under the coordination of the Risk Management and Compliance Department, involving areas of Bradesco Organization, and follow-up by a structure of PMO (Project Management Office).

The main activities established for adequacy are focused on:

– historical data storage on default and operational losses;

– review of the internal control procedures;

– review of the loan granting models;

– review of limit and guarantee management processes;

– evaluation of the credit recovery management models;

– development of economic capital models for operational risk and credit; and

– certification by the internal audit of all processes related to Basel II.

All these works are directed by an Executive Committee designated by the Board of Directors, under the coordination of the Organization’s CEO, showing the total commitment of our management with the implementation of Basel II.

We understand that the implementation of the approaches of Basel II, connected to the best market practices, will bring to our organization improvements to the risk management processes.

151


Credit Risk Management
 

Credit Risk is the possibility of a counterparty of a loan or financial operation might not intend nor suffer any change in its ability to comply with its contractual liabilities, thus may generate any loss for the Organization.

Loan Granting
 

Under the responsibility of the Loan Department, the loan process of the Organization meets the determinations of the Executive Loan Committee of the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to being based on the goals of security, quality, liquidity and diversification in the application of the loan assets.

In a constant pursuit of agility and profitability in businesses, we use methodologies directed and adequate to each segment the Bank operates, guiding the granting of loan operations and the determination of operational limits when adequate.

Loan Policies
 

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

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

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

The Executive Loan Committee located at Bradesco's Headquarters aims at joint decision-making processes within its skills referring to consultations about limits or operations proposed by the Bradesco Conglomerate, previously analyzed and with opinion of the Loan Department.

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

Loan Granting
 

152


Methodology Used for Loan Portfolio and Client Classification
 

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

The risk ratings for corporate clients are given on a corporate basis and periodically followed up, with a view to preserving the quality of loan portfolio.

In the case of individuals, the risk ratings are mainly defined based on their registered reference variables which include: income, equity, restrictions and indebtedness, besides standard and past relationship with Bradesco.

Credit Risk Control
 

Aiming at mitigating the Credit Risk, Bradesco is continuously following up the processes of loan activities, in the improvement, examination and preparation of inventories of credit risk models, on the monitoring of credit concentration and on the identification of new components that offer credit risks.

In addition, the efforts, which are focused on the utilization of advanced models of measuring risks and on the continuous improvement of processes, have reflected on the performance of the credit portfolio, both in terms of results and solidity, to various past and future scenarios.

The credit risk control is made in a corporative manner and monthly followed by the meetings of the Executive Credit Risk Management Committee, which has the following attributions:

a)     
to approve strategies, policies, rules and corporate procedures related to the credit risk management, compatible with the strategic credit goals defined by the Senior Management of Bradesco Organization;
 
b)     
to follow the performance of the credit portfolio of Bradesco Organization, aiming to ensure adequate qualify and profitability, in accordance with the parameters established by the Senior Management;
 
c)     
to follow and evaluate alternatives for credit concentration risk mitigation, aware of those people who may cause unexpected and unacceptable losses for Bradesco Organization;
 
d)     
to follow the implementation of methodologies, models and corporate credit risk management tools;
 
e)     
to evaluate the sufficiency of allowance for doubtful accounts for coverage of expected losses on credit operations;
 
f)     
to follow the movements and development of the credit market, evaluating implications, risks and opportunities for Bradesco Organization; and
 
g)     
to regularly position the CEO and the Board of Directors about its activities and make the recommendations deemed appropriate.
 

We point out the following credit risk management activities:

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

– active participation in the process of improving risk rating models of clients, respecting the particular characteristics of the business and product segments in which Bradesco operates;

153


– concentration analysis, by economic groups, activities, regions etc.;

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

– backtesting and follow-up of the provisioning on expected and unexpected losses;

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

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

In addition, the whole process of control comprises periodical review of projects related to the compliance with best market practices and requirements of New Capital Basel Accord, by monitoring actions in progress and identifying new gaps and needs emerged for the improvement of management process, preparing action plans.

We point out that we are focused on the adequacy of processes for alignment to the requirements of the approach IRB – Advanced of Basel II.

Credit Risk Analysis
 

In accordance with the procedures for credit risk control and management, we point out mainly the quality topics (classification and evaluation of clients), portfolio composition and concentration (by client/economic group, activity sector and maturity).

Portfolio Quality
 

In relation to the previous quarter, there was a slight increase in the quality of the total portfolio, mainly due to the growth in the participation of credits classified between “AA” and “C” in the operation focused on micro, small and medium-sized companies.

Provisioning
 

The processes to constitute PDD meet the requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil, based on Resolutions 2,682 and 2,697 and complementary circulars, with the purpose of ensuring the adequate classification and quality of loan operations. The provision process is composed by stages:

– evaluation and classification of the client/ Economic Group: quantitative (economic and financial indicators) and qualitative aspects (registration and behavioral data) are considered;

– classification of the operation: evaluation of the classification of the client connected to the liquidity and sufficiency level of the guarantee; and

– reclassification by delay and term of the operation by renegotiation.

The total provision amount is recorded by the generic (classification of the client and/or operation), specific (overdue more than 14 days) and exceeding provision (internal criteria and policies).

154


PDD x Delinquency x Losses (Percentage over Loan Operation Balance)
 

The total volume of allowance for doubtful accounts reached R$7,033 million, representing 6.5% of the total loan portfolio (6.7%, in March 2007), ensuring the maintenance of adequate coverage levels for future losses within the current profile of the loan portfolio.

In this sense, its is important to highlight the strength of the provisioning criteria adopted, which may be proved by means of analysis of historical data of allowances for doubtful accounts and losses effectively occurred, in the subsequent period of twelve months during the analyzed period. For instance, in June 2006, for an existing provision of 6.6% of the portfolio, the loss in the twelve subsequent months was 4.1% of the portfolio, that is, the provision covered with the margin the loss which really occurred.

Portfolio Concentration
 

By Activity Sector
 

The distribution of the portfolio by economic activity sector did not have a concentration. Operations for individuals, despite their significant participation, are covered.

155


By Flow of Maturities
 

The term of operations falling due has been extended, mainly due to the consumer financing operations, which are, by their nature, of larger term. The operations with term larger than 180 days represented 52.6% of the total portfolio in June 2007, against 49.8% twelve months ago. It is worth pointing out that the increase of the average term of the portfolio has been occurring in products of lower credit risk, that is, financing of vehicles and payroll deductible loan.

Loan Operations – Flow of Loan Portfolio Falling Due by Terms (in percentage)
 


By Debtor
 

In relation to the previous quarter, the concentration levels of credit operations of the total portfolio had a reduction in all intervals of debtors. In the last twelve months, the growth of the participation of the rating “AA and A” (excellent and great concept and economic-financial condition) in the range of the one hundred and fifty largest debtors indicated an improvement in the quality of the portfolio.

Market Risk Management
 

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

Market Risk Control
 

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

The market risk control is weekly followed by the meetings of the Executive Treasury Committee, whose main attributions are:

a)     
to define operation strategies for optimization of results and present positions held by the Organization;
 
b)     
to analyze the national and international political- economic scenario;
 
c)     
to evaluate and define investment limits in public federal, private, national and international securities;
 
d)     
to evaluate and define limits of VaR (Value at Risk) and Stop Loss of the portfolios;
 
e)     
to define the liquidity policy;
 
f)     
to establish operational limits of separation of assets, liabilities and currencies; and
 
g)     
to hold special meetings to analyze positions and situations in which the position limits, Stop Loss or VaR, are exceeded.

Among the main activities of the market risk management activities, we point out:

• to follow, calculate and analyze the market risk of the positions of the Conglomerate, by means of the VaR methodology;

• to follow the limits of Stop Loss established for the positions by the Senior Management;

• to make backtesting of the models adopted for measurement of market risks;

• to prepare sensibility analysis and simulate results in stress scenarios for the positions of the Conglomerate;

• to meet the demands of regulatory bodies concerning the calculation and sending of information related to prefixed positions, as well as the requirement of resulting capital (Circulars 2,972 and 3,046); and

• to analyze and follow the evolution of the markets, involving operations, quotations and liquidity of assets, including pricing methods and evaluation of structured operations and derivatives, in addition to calculation systems of volatilities and correlations.

Concerning the Resolution #3,464 of the National Monetary Council, which provides for the implementation of the market risk management structure, Banco Bradesco is aligned with the main demands carried out by the Central Bank, mainly related to policies, strategies and systems for risk management, in addition to stress tests.

157


Market Risk Analysis
 

The Organization adopts a conservative policy regarding market risk exposure, VaR (Value at Risk) limits are defined by the Executive Treasury Committee and validated by the Board of Executive Officers, compliance therewith is daily monitored by an independent area to the manager of positions. The methodology used to determine VaR has a reliability level of 97.5% and time horizon of 1 day. The volatilities and correlations used by the models are calculated on a statistical basis and are adjusted, when necessary, at facts not captured yet by the data used in the models.

The last quarter was highlighted by the increase of volatilities in the world market. This movement resulted from the deterioration of expectations of the behavior of the North American economy, in addition to a higher inflation pressure in Europe. The fear of the maintenance of the monetary tightness in the American market by a larger period and the expectation of the increase of the interest rate of other markets caused an increase in the aversion to the risk, causing an increase in the interest rate paid by North America treasury securities. However, even with these happening, the capital flow for emerging countries did not have large impacts.

Despite the increase of volatilities, the Global VaR had a reduction in the period, due to the change of the portfolio composition, mainly of prefixed risk factors and IPCA coupon.

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

The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques. The backtesting compares the daily VaR calculated with the result obtained with these positions (excluding result with intraday positions, brokerage rates and commissions). The main purpose of the backtesting is to monitor, validate and evaluate the adherence to the VaR model, and the number of disruptions must be in accordance with the reliability interval previously established in the modeling. The chart below shows the daily VaR and the corresponding result of the last 12 months, in which the adverse results exceed VaR only twice, that is, the number of disruptions was within the limit defined by the reliability level adopted, showing the efficiency of the model.

158


Backtesting – Global VaR
 


With the purpose of estimating the possible loss not contemplated by VaR, Banco Bradesco daily evaluates the possible impacts on the positions of stress scenarios. Stress Analysis is a tool that tries to quantify the negative impact of shocks and economic events financially unfavorable to the positions of the institution. Thus, crisis scenarios are determined for risk factors in which the Trading portfolio has a position. The average estimated loss in a stress situation would be R$581 million in the 2nd quarter of this year, and the maximum estimated loss would be R$865 million.

Liquidity Risk Management
 

The liquidity risk management is made by the Department of Operational Control and liquidity risk management is designed to control the different mismatched settlement terms of the Institution's rights and obligations, as well as the liquidity of the financial instruments used to manage the financial positions. Knowledge and monitoring of this risk are critical since they enable the Organization to settle transactions on a timely and secure manner.

159


Liquidity Risk Control
 

The Bradesco Conglomerate has a Liquidity Policy approved within the scope of the Executive Treasury Committee. Daily different information is consolidated and distributed - some are updated in real time - to the Treasury Department and to the Board of Executive Officers. In this Policy the minimum liquidity levels are defined to be maintained by the Banks of the Organization, as well as the liquidity management instruments in a normal scenario and a crisis scenario. The policies and controls established fully comply with Resolution #2,804 of the National Monetary Council.

The several reports comprise historical information which allows the evaluation of the behavior and level of liquidity maintained, as well as simulations for the time horizon of, at least, one year. The simulations are made with information of scenarios produced by the Department of Research and Economic Studies, and the balances of products budgeted by the Department of Budget and Control.

Management of Internal Controls and Compliance
 

We are continually developing policies, systems and internal controls to mitigate possible potential losses generated by our risk exposure and strengthen the processes and procedures focused on Corporate Governance. We have also adopted additional methodologies and criteria for identifying, measurement, monitoring risks and respective controls. The network of dedicated staff and the investments in technology and in personnel training and recycling, together, allow us to assert that Bradesco’s Organization internal control and compliance management is effective and is in line with international standards, so as to comply with the requirements set forth by national and international regulatory agencies. The Internal Control Area is one of the units of the Risk Management and Compliance Department, and is responsible for preparing and disclosing instructions of technical nature, criteria and procedures related to internal controls and compliance providing periodical status reports to the Internal Controls and Compliance and Audit Committees and to the Board of Directors.

The Internal Controls and Compliance Committee, each half year, issues an opinion on the effectiveness of the Internal Controls System maintained in the Organization and submits it to the approval of the Board of Directors, at a specific meeting about the subject, with the following attributions:

a)     
to evaluate if the recommendations of improvements in the internal controls were duly implemented by the managers;
 
b)     
to certify the conformity of procedures with rules, regulations and applicable laws;
 
c)     
to follow the implantation and implementation of methodologies, models and corporate management tools of the operational risk, in conformity with the applicable rules; and
 
d)     
to appreciate the reports issued by the Regulatory Bodies and Internal and External Audits concerning the deficiencies of internal controls and respective measures of the areas involved.
 

Among the main items focused on internal control and compliance management, we highlight:

– the internal control structure has as basis the control component and objectives contemplated in the methodology of Committee of Sponsoring Organizations – COSO and on the framework of Control Objectives for Information and related Technology – Cobit, for the Information Technology environments, and adheres to the 13 Basel Internal Control Principles and to the requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil. That structure strengthens the ongoing improvement of the process used to identify and assess controls and mitigate risks.

– the Compliance Agents responsible for executing the activities for identification, classification, assessment and monitoring of risks and controls, as well as for performing adherence tests and preparing and implementing action plans, according to models defined by the Internal Control Area.

- the prevention and fight against money “laundering” and financing to terrorism, which follows the best market practices and is based on the internal policies “Know your Client and Know your Employee”. Training and awareness programs are exhaustively provided to all employees and the use of technological tools to monitor financial transactions are constantly upgraded, with a view to protecting the Institution and its management, stockholders, clients and employees. Thus, the use of the Organization in transactions or situations which may be directly or indirectly related to crimes preceding the money “laundering”, characterized in Law 9,613/98, and to the financing to terrorism, are avoided at most, by the knowledge of the activities of clients and, taking place, are quickly identified by the efficient monitoring exercised by our systems and notices to competent authorities.

- Information Security basically comprises a set of controls, including policies, processes, organizational structures and security rules and procedures. It aims at protecting clients’ and the Organization’s information, in the confidentiality, integrity and availability aspects.

Bradesco Organization created the Corporate Policy on Information Security, whose guidelines are made available on our website, and maintains a formal infrastructure, whose purpose is to promote the corporate management of Information Security, and thus providing effective protection to Information Assets. The Corporate Policy on Information Security includes Privacy Guidelines, voluntarily set forth by Bradesco Organization, aiming at protecting the privacy of its clients’ data. This reflects the values of the Organization and reassures its commitment to the continuous improvement of Data Protection process efficiency.

A Business Continuity Plan – BCP was also set forth, in which actions to be taken are standardized, in order to, in crisis periods, make effective the recovery and continuity of business crucial process, avoiding or minimizing financial losses for the Organization and its clients.

In order to maintain total compliance to these procedures, constant training and awareness programs, as well as reviews of the policies, are carried out.

In this context, Bradesco Organization obtained in June 2007, according to Form 20-F filed with the SEC – U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the certification of its internal controls, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, focused on the preparation of the accounting and financial statements related to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2006, in accordance with the requirement in Section 404 of U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Operational Risk Management
 

Under the corporate scope, Bradesco Organization defines operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or faulty internal processes, people and systems and from external events which may or may not cause the interruption of businesses.

Operating Risk Control
 

The operational risk management is based on the preparation and implementation of methodologies and tools that standardize the format of collection and treatment of the loss historical data and is aligned to the best practices of operational risk management. The works related to operational risk are in line with the best market practices, as well as the new corporate platform, which in under validation process. This new corporate system, called - Operational Risk and Internal Control System, has the advantage of integrating in a single data base Operational Risk and Internal Controls information and will meet, inclusively, the requirements established in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

This new systemic outline via the web will increment the Organization’s Operational Risk Management, as it improves the activities of capture, identification, measurement, monitoring and report, by means of a unified platform, providing the necessary qualitative support given by the Internal Controls Areas to analyses made by the Operational Risk Area. It also allows to meet the guidance in the New Capital Basel Accord, the schedule established by the Brazilian Central Bank, by means of the Notice #12,746, issued in December 2004 and the requirements in Resolution #3,380 of Bacen which provides for the implementation of the operational risk management structure in financial institutions.

The historical data base of Operational Risk will complete 4 years of storage at the end of 2007, minimum provided for according to paragraph 672 of Basel II for application of the advanced methodology. The data for preparation of the model calculation are obtained by means of accounting accounts opened exclusively for registration of losses resulting from Operational Risk events. From this information internally obtained we made the calculations related to the advance method of capital allocation separated by company which comprises the financial consolidated.

The centralized operational risk management meets all activities of the Organization, including the ones of the Insurance Group. As a result of this strategy, it was possible to obtain synergy and rationalization of resources, for the convergence of implementation of concepts of Basel II and Solvability II, unifying the criteria within Bradesco Organization, in conformity with Resolution #3,380 in what concerns the financial economic consolidated statement.

Approaches and Implementation of Basel II
 

For purposes of operational risk management and respective capital allocation, the recommendations in the New Capital Accord - Basel II and concepts required by the Brazilian Central by means of Impact Studies carried out in 2005 and 2006, comprise the following approaches:

– Basic (BIA – Basic Indicator Approach): application of a single percentage on the gross result for the year.

– Standardized (STA – Standardized Approach): application of distinct percentages on gross result segregated by business lines.

– Alternative (ASA – Alternative Standardized Approach): application of a fixed percentage (factor M) on the average of credit assets (Business Lines; Retail and Commercial Bank) and distinct percentages on the gross result segregated by other business lines.

– Aggregated Alternative (ASA 2): guided by the Brazilian Central Bank, it is different from ASA –Alternative Standardized Approach as to the segregation of the business lines.

– Advanced (AMA – Advanced Measurement Approach): the focus on losses resulting from operational events by means of the construction of proprietary models for purposes of management and capital allocation.

162


For the advanced approach (AMA), which is the purpose of the Organization, we used the Loss Distribution Approach methodology (LDA), which comprises the estimate of distribution of severity (loss amount) and frequency (number of events) for each Business Line and Loss Event. To model the severity, we used statistic distributions, from which we point out the exponential, gamma, weibull and lognormal. For the modeling of the frequency distribution, we used distributions of poisson, geometric and negative binomial.

We made the simulation of distributions of severity and frequency using the simulation methodology of Monte Carlo and thus we determined the distribution of aggregated loss that reflects the estimate of expected loss (EL) and exposure to risk in the horizon of certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, annually etc.), considering the businesses and controls environment existing at the time of the calculations. In the simulation methodology of aggregated losses we included the possibility of using the correlation between events of loss or business line, allowing a more accurate determination of the capital related to the exposure of Operational Risk. Key indicators of risk, controls and analysis of scenarios are used to estimate loss models considering changes in businesses and controls environments.

We consider the exposure to the Operational Risk, that is, the capital to be allocated, as the unexpected loss (UL – Unexpected Loss), which is represented by the difference obtained between the expected loss (EL) and the VaR measure (Value at Risk) with 99.9% of reliability, which will be reflected on future capital allocations by the advanced method. Additionally, we calculated the TVaR (Tail Value at Risk) measure which is the expected loss value in case this is higher than the VaR with 99.9% of reliability. Below there are the classifications of losses arising from the operational risk:

Aggregated Loss value
 

We are contacting the world consortium of data base of losses for financial intuitions, called ORX (Operational Riskdata eXchange Association) to verify the procedures to be adopted to participate and use information made available with the intention of assisting in the calculations of analyses of scenarios and comparisons of the positioning of Bradesco concerning large global players in relation to loss events.

163


Operational Risk Analysis
 

For the standardized methods of Operational Risk, we made calculations by company which comprises the financial consolidated. Below we show the results obtained by the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), the Alternative Standardized Approach (ASA), and the one called Aggregated Alternative Approach, provided for in the New Capital Accord, paragraph 652, footnote 97. We emphasize that the Alternative Standardized method requires a lower capital allocation when compared to the other ones.

With the clear purpose of intensively supporting companies operating in the foreign trade, and, mainly, those intending to enter this market, Bradesco, through its International Area, is investing in the expansion of its structure, through exchange platforms to be installed in the main export centers of the country. These platforms, added to the seven platforms already installed with the segment Bradesco Empresas, reinforce the synergy in the prospect of new clients, as well as in the increment to business with existing clients.

It is also worth pointing out that Bradesco already uses a digital certification system for foreign exchange contracts, allowing the customer to sign them electronically. That, besides making the transactions easier, speeds up the exchange operation contracting flow and reduces costs and operational risks.

The funding for the foreign trade financing is obtained from the international financial community, by means of credit lines from correspondent banks abroad. At the end of the 1st half of 2007, 96 banks, especially U.S., European and Asian banks had extended credit lines to Bradesco.

The spreads paid by Bradesco in these fundings were, throughout this half, between 10 and 18 basis points above Libor for a period between 180 and 360 days. It is important to point out that this spread level had never been recorded in fundings performed by Brazilian banks.

It is worth recording that in addition to traditional funding with correspondent banks, aimed at financing the Brazilian foreign trade, in 1H07 Bradesco Organization raised US$793.8 million in the international capital markets through long and medium-term public and private placements. These funds were also allocated to the financing of the foreign trade and to working capital loans. In this amount, we point out the securitization operation of US$500.0 million, with a 7-year term, called MT100 Securitization, completed on 6.11.2007.

Methodology for Mapping and Documentation of Processes
 

This is a corporate methodology whose goal is to enable the Bank’s Departments to map and document the product and service processes it manages, in a systematized and standardized manner.

The result of the documentation is stored in a specific Corporate Database, from which the documentation requested is provided concomitantly, in order to comply with:

– Activity-Based Costing System - ABC;

– Bradesco Quality Management System – NBR ISO 9001:2000;

– Internal Controls and Compliance;

– the Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and

– Ongoing Improvement of Processes.

The methodology establishes a standardized document structure, which is adopted by the Departments and allows an overview of processes from products/services, as follows:

– Organization Chart;

– Product and Service Tree;

– Context Diagram;

– Process Macro Vision;

– Process Flow; and

– Activity Detailing.

The structure defined for the methodology, combined with the information on products and services, effectively allows the analysis and diagnosis for the development of operations aimed at improving processes and complying with the requirements of the management systems.

Activity-Based Costing – ABC
 

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

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

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

Activity-Based Management Program
 

Seeking to explore the potential applications of the information base of the “Activity-Based Cost”, we are to adopt a Cost Management model by means of the “Activity-Based Management” – ABM, which will rapidly lead to the prevention of costs and a proactive approach regarding the identification of opportunities.

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

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

180


Integrated Management System – ERP
 

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

This system’s implementation represents an innovation in the treatment of the value chain supporting Bradesco's financial industry, comprising analyses dimensions focused on processes, people, organizational structure and technology.

Initially, the system will integrate processes in the Human Resources, Training, Material and Service Purchases, Accounts Payable, Physical and Fiscal Receiving, Fixed Assets and Accounting, in addition to the Availability Control process, for the effective follow-up of the Bank’s administrative expenses.

Currently, the processes of Works Management, Maintenance Management, Currency Management, Real Estate Management, Supplies Management (Auction and Electronic Quotation), Banking Accounting and Consolidation of Financial Statements are being implemented.

The adoption of the Integrated Management Systems by the areas integrated through this technology allowed them to renew processes and review organizational structures and nearly 80 thousand system users were qualified via presence and e-learning training.

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

Thus, the institutions which will adopt them must take them as basis for the development of practices and internal and individual loan granting policies.

In 2006, 11 projects evaluated by Bradesco were in accordance with criteria set forth by the Equator Principles.

Global Compact 
 

Aligned with its corporate responsibility guidelines, Bradesco, in November 2005, adhered to the Global Compact principles, assuming the commitment to promote actions to contribute for the development of an inclusive and sustainable economy, increasing its performance within the social-environmental scope.

With ten main principles, based on the defense of human and labor rights, environmental protection and fight against corruption, the Global Compact is a result of an invitation made by the United Nations (UN), at the World Economic Forum in Davos, in January 1999, to companies, NGOs and other governmental and civil entities, to follow and disclose its principles.

Millennium Development Goals
 

Bradesco also supports the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), a commitment executed in 2000 by 191 countries members of the UN, which seeks sustainability and the improvement of the quality of life throughout the world. Even though the initiative is executed by governments, the successful achievement of these Goals depends on society as a whole and, specially, on the business sector.

ISE – Corporate Sustainability Index
 

In November 2006, Bradesco started integrating the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) new portfolio of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa). ISE is comprised of stocks issued by companies which have a high level of commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

The Sustainability Study Center of the São Paulo School of Business Administration of Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV-EAESP) was contracted to evaluate the performance of the companies eligible to ISE. For that purpose, a questionnaire was developed with the triple bottom line concept, which comprises the evaluation of economic, social and environmental elements in an integrated way.

The choice of Bradesco’s common and preferred stocks to comprise ISE strengthens the Organization’s commitment to the good corporate governance practices in the relationship with stockholders, clients, investors, employees and the general public.

DJSI – Dow Jones Sustainability World Index 
 

Since September 2006, Banco Bradesco started taking part in the selected group which comprises the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) portfolio. Currently, DJSI is comprised of 318 companies that materially demonstrate having corporate sustainability rooted in their initiatives, practices and business management.

SA 8000 Certification 
 

Bradesco received the SA8000®:2001 international standard of social responsibility, granted by the Human Resources Management in the Administrative Center, at Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo, and in the Human Resources Department, placed in the ground floor of Prédio Novíssimo, in Cidade de Deus, Osasco (SP). Upon this recognition, the Bank became the first financial organization in America to receive the SA 8000. The certification was recommended by the certifying agency DNV – Det Norske Veritas.

3rd Bradesco Suppliers Meeting 
 

In May 2007, Bradesco carried out the 3rd Suppliers Meeting. The event gathered representatives of more than 100 suppliers of products and services from several different segments – from furniture to security companies. This event aims at committing the suppliers of products and services to Bradesco’s social-environmental guidelines, by showing the Bank’s actions towards the social-environmental area and informing what the Organization expects from its suppliers about this aspect. With other support and guidance actions, the event aims at helping the suppliers to incorporate the social-environmental responsibility in the every day work.

The commitment of suppliers to the adoption of social-environmental guidelines determined by Bradesco is a determining factor for contracting new suppliers and in the continuity of existing contracts. New events will be carried out semiannually. Bradesco’s target is to reach, in two years, all the Bank’s 1.5 thousand suppliers. The next event will be carried out in November 2007.

Launching of Leasing to Basic Sanitation Projects 
 

Bradesco entered into a partnership with Biosistemas, a company specialized in technology for treatment of water and industrial/urban effluents, with headquarters in São Paulo, to facilitate the access to new basic sanitation technologies. According to this agreement, the Bank created a special leasing line, offering clients special conditions in the financing of projects for the implementation of water treatment stations (ETA) and sewage treatment stations (ETE) in companies, as well as residential and commercial condominiums or other places where this environmental measure is made necessary to preserve natural resources.

The delivery term of these special lines may range from 36 to 60 months, with grace period of up to five months for the payment of the first installment. Upon the payment, the contractor enjoys all the structure installed, and became its definitive owner up to the end of the agreement period.

ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Certifications 
 

Bradesco was the first financial institution in Brazil to receive the ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications. The unit certified was the building on Avenida Paulista, in the city of São Paulo. This is a 12-story building with 4 basements refurbished and adapted, aiming at complying with all the specifications and rules required for the referred certifications.

ISO 14001 is a rule internationally accepted which defines the requirements for establishment and operation of an Environmental Management System. OHSAS 18001 defines the requirements for an Occupational Safety and Health Management System.

Bradesco’s Contribution to Preserve the Environment 
 

Aware of the need to maintain its adequate facilities, without disregarding the environmental aspects, Bradesco has adopted practical measures that contribute to environmental preservation.

The Organization permanently seeks to apply new technologies minimizing the impact on ecosystems. It also seeks the contracted companies’ commitment to the Bank’s goals, as well as the ongoing awareness of our staff in pursuit of eco-efficiency.

1) World Environment Day

On June 5, 2007, Bradesco distributed more than 200 thousand native plant seedlings from Atlantic Forest in several places in the city of São Paulo, such as intersections of the main avenues and entrances of subway stations. The action was developed in partnership with Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, which provided the seedlings.

In another action to celebrate the date, more than 7 thousand plant seedlings from the Atlantic Forest were distributed to Bradesco’s employees who work in its headquarters, in Cidade de Deus, in the city of Osasco, state of São Paulo.

As a tradition, Bradesco effectively contributes to the environmental preservation and to the planet sustainability. Among other actions, it maintains a partnership with Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, which made feasible the allocation of 21.5 million seedlings to reforestation of the Atlantic Forest.

2) Program for the Neutralization of Carbon Emissions

With a view to neutralizing its carbon emissions, Bradesco was the first bank to launch a measurement program of its direct and indirect participation in carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in the atmosphere. The proposal is that all Bradesco’s business chain – including clients, suppliers and other stakeholders – takes part in this cause in the medium term.

Initially, the environmental impact caused by the Organization will be offset by the planting of 38 thousand trees (in partnership with Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica), by the purchase of carbon credits or by entering into partnerships to generate carbon credits.

On the first stage of the program, a survey of all the greenhouse effect gas emissions (GEE) referring to operations at Cidade de Deus –Bradesco’s headquarters, in Osasco (SP) – was carried out, calculated in accordance with GHG Protocol methodology and ISO 14064. In 2007, the Organization will increase the inventory scope of GEE emissions.

3) Resources Consumption Rationalization

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

Bradesco has invested in the Branches Network awareness about the issue, by indicating consumption targets for each unit - based on size, quantity of equipment installed and headcount, as well as release of information about the rational use of electricity and water, by means of circulars, internal periodicals, Intranet etc.

a. Electricity

Timing machines were installed in the branches for the automatic turning-off of lights, allowing an easy utilization in scheduled hours. Turning-off lights in non-used areas and using natural light have been encouraged.

187


Similar care is adopted in the acquisition and installation of air-conditioning systems, such as thermo-accumulation devices, which reduce the energy consumption in peak hours. The employees are guided towards optimizing the use of lifts, air conditioning and other energy consuming equipment.

In addition, more than 250 mercury light bulbs installed in the lampposts of Cidade de Deus were replaced by sodium steam light bulbs. Approximately 30 thousand 40 Watts light bulbs have been replaced by 32 Watts light bulbs, reducing substantially energy consumption, without losing lighting efficiency.

b. Water

Same concern is expressed as to the rational use of water. Thus, our premises are periodically guided concerning the monthly follow-up of consumption and maintenance aiming at correcting possible leakage in valves, flushing and faucets. Technical measures contributing to the water consumption reduction have been adopted, such as the replacement of mechanical faucets with automatic ones for use on the headquarters’ premises and common valves for coupled boxes, in the building of Avenida Paulista, with an estimated reduction of 50% of consumption

The adequate garden watering, observing the best hour and periodicity, has also been deserving attention. There is a feasibility study related to the reuse of water that comes from the partial sewage treatment generated at the headquarters, with the purpose of watering and usage in the air conditioning towers. At Avenida Paulista, a former fuel tank of the generating group was adapted as a container to receive and store rain water destined to garden watering. This measure will enable an economy of up to 30 m3 in the monthly water consumption.

4) Solid Residues Destination

a. Paper and Cardboard

Currently, approximately 100 tons of paper and cardboard are collected monthly in our main administrative centers, which are submitted to a selective process. Bradesco is contemplating the possibility of its implementation in other regions. In addition, methods to assess the quantity of paper consumed by the Organization is under study, both office paper and forms. The purpose is to identify possible measures that may be adopted to reduce that consumption.

Bradesco is also seeking the standardization of dispensers and respective consumption products used in bathrooms of Cidade de Deus and administrative buildings. Besides the economic aspects and quality improvement, such measure will contribute to the aware consumption, since the new liberation system of toilet paper and paper towel inhibits the waste and reduces the consumption.

b. Metal, Glass and Plastics

At Cidade de Deus and in administrative centers, Bradesco maintains the selective collection of metal, glass and plastics. In 1H07, approximately 30 tons of these materials were recycled, arising from the maintenance process. This practice has been encouraged and improved by means of in-house campaigns and actions, in the expectation of increasing to other centers, as well as to increase the quantity of recycled products.

The use of biodegradable plastic bags was also implemented on all of Bradesco’s premises. This material degrades completely within a short period of time, consumed by microorganisms, without harming the environment. At Cidade de Deus and administrative centers, plastic bags with colors corresponding to waste collected are also used, with a view at facilitating the recycling process of these materials.

188


c. Lamps

In Cidade de Deus buildings there are more than 36 thousand installed lamps. Monthly, more than 600 lamps are replaced. Concerned with the appropriate destination of this material, the Organization included in maintenance agreements a specific clause about the service company’s obligation to conduct the ecologically correct discard. In 1H07, approximately 11 thousand lamps of the headquarters and administrative buildings were sent to recycling.

d. Other Residues

In Cidade de Deus, approximately 115,000 m2 of green area is maintained, with more than 4 thousand trees cataloged under the replacement and planting program. In the maintenance of these areas, dried leaf crushers are used. The crushed material (nearly 1.5 tonne/month) is used in gardening. The parings of grass are also used as input.

5) Use of Sustainable Products

a. Recycled Paper Usage Program

This Program, a result of Bradesco’s belief that it is able to contribute to the dissemination of environmental responsibility, has been gradually implemented in our Organization. The option to use recycled paper was made after long negotiations with suppliers, and even if it does not mean costs optimization, the beneficial result for the environmental was the most important factor for the change. Recycled paper is used in the production of internal and external communication material, such as posters, magazines, circulars, business cards and statements distributed to clients and in check books. Currently, nearly 90% of the paper monthly consumed is recycled.

b. Remanufactured Cartridges

For five years Bradesco has used remanufactured cartridges in printers, aiming – besides cost savings – at the reduction of environmental pollution. Out of 38 types of toner cartridges composing the consumption list, 27 are remanufactured products. With the constant renovation of the printing facility, an increase in use of remanufactured cartridges is expected.

c. Certified Wood

Recently pencils manufactured with certified wood were made available in the premises. The raw material used contributes to the fight against exploration of illegal wood with a predatory origin, as well as minimizing the environment degradation.

d. Biodegradable Products for Cleaning

In Cidade de Deus, biodegradable products are used in cleaning and maintenance services. Contracted companies are encouraged to use products of such type, which then will be one of the requirements to be considered in a further agreement renewal.

Such measure integrates an improvement program seeking to standardize the biodegradable products, the appropriate dilution, in conformity with the manufacturer’s guidance and the obligation to present information about chemical products used on the Organization’s premises.

Bradesco’s Contributions to Social Issues 
 

Finasa Sports Program 
 

By means of Finasa Sports Program, Bradesco Organization demonstrates its support for the development of citizenship and social inclusion of children and youngsters between 9 and 18 years old.

With almost 20 years of activity, Finasa Sports entered into many partnerships, among which the most outstanding is the agreement with Osasco’s Local Government. This partnership contributes to expand the Program’s social reach.

Currently, the Program has a total of 148 professionals carrying out activities at state and local schools, at Osasco’s city hall sport centers, at SESI-Osasco unit and at private schools, assisting nearly 3,000 girls free of charge in 52 qualification centers and 180 athletes in 13 Specialists’ Centers, in volleyball and basketball.

The Program’s main goal is the whole development by means of a healthy activity such as sport practice, education, health and well-being actions that help raise these girls’ awareness about citizenship, so that they can be in charge of their own lives and make responsible choices in their actions before society. Most of these girls come from deprived backgrounds considered to be in a social risk situation.

It also supports the formal education process by adopting as a requirement the girls’ enrollment and attendance in regular schools.

At the Training Centers, all students have guaranteed access to quality sports education, regardless of their physical characteristics, such as weight, height or abilities for sports.

The activities for children and youngsters in the Specialists’ Centers, besides sports learning with medical, psychological, psychiatric and nutritional follow-up, comprise regular information on hygiene, stress, adolescence, drug use and teen pregnancy prevention, turning these places into true citizenship centers.

This program also offers, according to categories, a support structure, with benefits such as: life insurance, health care, among others, including sporting material used in training and competitions.

The sports practice, besides contributing to a healthy life, is responsible for the formation of high level athletes, enabling the players’ participation in Finasa/Osasco’s Adult Volleyball team and in the children’s and junior’ Brazilian Female Volleyball and Basketball teams.

It is the first social sports program to receive funds from tax incentive, made available by the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (Statute of Children and Adolescents), through the agreement executed between the National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (Conanda) and Ministry of Sports in 2004. The Finasa Sports Program is a benchmark in sporting activities of this nature.

Human Resources 
 

Since the inception of Bradesco’s activities, the Company acknowledges the value of its team’s performance and achievement potential as the foundation to sustain Bradesco Organization’s businesses.

The Company offers its employees ongoing professional development opportunities, in a healthy, safe and ethical environment, with transparent commitments and goals.

Bradesco believes in its ability to promote a sustained growth for people and through these people.

The Company seeks to maintain an excellence model in Human Resources Management, guided by respect and transparency in its relations, continuous development investment, sharing of information and human being value, without discrimination.

Bradesco maintains a closed-career policy, whereby the admission occurs at apprentice levels. All the growth opportunities are destined to employees, allowing access to all hierarchical levels.

191




This assurance of professional development and growth opportunities allows employees to see the possibility of holding all the positions: leadership, supervision, management and also the senior management. That is a motivational factor for all the staff, stimulating creativity, innovation and the ceaseless search for knowledge and updating.

We may say that when a youngster joins the Organization, whose closed-career system privileges, incentives and strongly invests in the growth and development of its employees, this professional starts a career full of opportunities, connected with his/her effort and dedication.

Encouraging the professionals to exceed their limits and stimulating their creativity in search for solutions, aiming at the self satisfaction, clients’ satisfaction and business expansion, have been a priority for the Bank and is one of the assumptions of its Human Resources Management Policy.

Only creative and innovative teams, highly skilled, with ensured career opportunities can surpass the goals and show excellent results that have highlighted the Organization.

The stimulus to creativity and investment in the professional and personal qualification of the employees are essential for Bradesco’s success, strongly contributing to its brand solidity and the accomplishment of its market strategies.

Bradesco’s performance is disseminated and is continuously expanded throughout the country, enabling job opportunities in all the operation segments.

Bradesco is a bank which takes into account, by means of its clients and partners, the diversity which is the own expression of the Brazilian social structure, with a fundamental commitment to respecting cultural and ethnical diversity. The respect to the Brazilian diversity is part of the Company’s strategic vision towards good performance, since Bradesco is inserted throughout the Brazilian territory.

Certification in International Rules 
 

In 2006, we achieved the certification of OHSAS 18001 Rule of Occupational Safety and Health that allows establishing and developing conditions that contribute to a safe and healthy work environment. The certification was recommended for the building at Avenida Paulista, 1.450, city and state of São Paulo and, in July 2007, we obtained the certification again. Aligned with the sustainability concept added to our business strategy, we implemented in 2006 the Bradesco Social Responsibility Management System, based on the SA 8000®:2001 International Rule.

This Rule establishes requirements in conformity with the Human Resources Management Policy of Bradesco Organization and has the purpose of promoting an ongoing improvement of relations and the work environment, including the commitment to respect for Human Rights, Children’s Rights and Labor Fundamental Rights to its suppliers.

In 1H07, Banco Bradesco received the SA 8000®:2001 Rule certification, and is considered the first among the financial institutions in the Americas to receive an international certification in Social Responsibility.

The SA 8000®:2001 International Rule of Social Responsibility certification was recommended to Banco Bradesco in the management of the human resources that operates in the business and related companies located in the building on Avenida Paulista, no. 1.450, city and state of São Paulo, and in the Human Resource Department, located in Bradesco’s headquarters, in Cidade de Deus, city of Osasco, state of São Paulo.

Aiming at expanding the scopes, Bradesco is working for the certification of the main administrative centers in the country.

A Great Place to Work 
 

Over the last years, the Organization has shared with all its employees the satisfaction and importance of being included in indexes based on the quality of relations and the work environment.

Every year, around 4,000 employees, in all structure levels, from all lines of businesses and activities, voluntarily answer to surveys about the organizational environment through questionnaires and interviews. They assess items such as the work environment, benefits, compensation, professional development, ethics, citizenship values and social responsibility of companies.

The Company seeks to promote transparency, respect and confidence, so as to ensure a motivating and challenging organizational environment. Evidence is that Bradesco is currently recognized in several rankings.

The Company was listed for the seventh time in Guia Você S/A - Exame – As Melhores Empresas para Você Trabalhar (The Best Companies to Work for), and in addition to being part of this selected group, Bradesco was also acknowledged among the 50 Best Companies for Women to Work for, for the forth consecutive year. Bradesco Bank was also highlighted as one of the Best Companies for Businessmen in the Country. This list presents the companies in which the executive group, which comprises officers, managers and supervisors, reports feeling more satisfaction at work.

Guia Você S/A Exame is considered the best and most comprehensive study on the work environment in Brazil and introduced in 2006 the index of happiness at work, in which we are highlighted as we provide our employees a positive corporate environment, in the pursuit of everybody’s well-being.

Bradesco was also elected one of the 100 Best Companies to Work in Brazil, in a research prepared by Great Place To Work Institute, published in a special edition of Época magazine.

For the third consecutive year, Bradesco stood out in the survey As Melhores na Gestão de Pessoas (The Best Companies in People Management) of Valor Carreira magazine, edited by Valor Econômico newspaper. It was the first bank to be in the ranking.

These results show the acknowledgment to our commitment not only to clients, but also to our employees. Improving talents with professional training, stimulating education and maintaining a fair and dynamic organizational structure, we try to offer conditions so that each employee can grow and build a solid career, from a relationship policy based on respect and valuation.

People Management 
 

Bradesco maps the human capital through individual interviews with employees and their leaders, aiming at identifying corporate and essential competencies by supporting professional growth and the search for goals and results by means of the development of the competencies of the Organization’s human resources.

The Company already recorded 27.6 thousand employees’ profiles in this process.

Based on this knowledge, leaders and employees are gained conditions to share actions focused on improving their individual and team performance and make effective the practice of feedback by generating professional improvement and short, medium and long-term results.

The maintenance of such work is the management of competencies with the employees’ and their leaders’ involvement, by means of constant follow-up, guidance and technical and behavioral development.

Respect to Diversity – Social Inclusion 
 

Bradesco respects the diversity and self-respect of human being, by preserving the individuality and privacy, not accepting the practice of discriminatory acts of any nature: at the work environment and in all the Company’s relations with internal and external public.

The diversity appreciation is incorporated in the Human Resources Management Policy of Bradesco Organization. The guidelines of relationship with employees are based on appreciation of professionals and are in accordance with the Global Compact principles, among other international regulations concerning human rights.

Bradesco’s success is based on group effort, meaning that each employee adds something so that the Organization may constantly innovate and modernize, embracing more and more the possibilities of diversity, which is a constant value in its daily operations, through client magnitude, geographical comprehensiveness and staff.

Being present in so many places shows the commitment to catering equally for all our publics. Bradesco has gone far beyond the commercialization of products and services, seeking to know better people from all the different groups in society, in order to ensure a service that meets each of their needs, and, thus, work together towards the country’s sustainable development.

With a view to effectively contributing to an improved relationship of the Company with different people, as well as to maintaining a balanced internal demography, both in the admission and retention of talents, Bradesco created the Diversity Appreciation Work Group, composed of representatives of different areas.

With a view to reinforcing Bradesco’s actions in the Social Responsibility area, the Company entered into a partnership with São Paulo State Government by means of the Young Citizen Program – My First Job.

The purpose is to provide students with their first professional experience opportunities preparing them to exercise the citizenship, by means of paid internship, the students originated from families with higher social vulnerability, between 18 and 21 years old, regularly enrolled and effectively attending high school classes of the state public school system.

Currently we count on 251 hired youngsters, with the participation of around 487 youngsters in the program.

Occupational Health and Safety Policies 
 

Bradesco is a company that develops actions in health, disease prevention, safety and work conditions.

The occupational safety and health aspect is approached in two premises of the Organization’s Human Resource Management Policy:

• Ensuring the good relationship among all the Organization’s professionals, maintaining a safe and healthy work environment, and provide conditions for excellent levels of performance and productivity; and

• Contributing for the improvement of employees’ quality of life, offering them conditions to balance work, health and family.

Bradesco offers its employees an adequate work environment with conditions for a complete physical, mental and emotional well-being.

Bradesco invests in programs and methodologies allowing mapping and identifying the causes of symptoms and diseases occurred in the work environment and relations, viewing to promoting health and disease prevention, on a broad basis.

The issues addressed include Repetitive Stress Injury, Stress, Chemical Addiction (Alcoholism/Drugs/ Tobacco), Obesity, Cardiovascular Diseases, Sexually Transmitted Diseases, AIDS and others. Those campaigns are carried out monthly through Interação magazine and in the Sipat (Internal Week of Occupational Accident Prevention).

Since contracting, Bradesco’s employees receive information and guidance on behavior and conduct adequate to the maintenance of health and improvement of life quality.

Bradesco has been an active member of the National Business Council for HIV/AIDS Prevention – CEN, which aims at promoting and strengthening the combat against such epidemic in the work environment, diffusing information to a considerable portion of workers, family members and the community as a whole about the safe ways to prevent the infection by HIV virus.

Another outstanding issue related to life quality is the balance between the employee’s personal and professional life. We are permanently concerned with the working hours, so that the contract time is not surpassed, guaranteeing that employees have time for their personal commitments and leisure.

In order to offer an appropriate environment and extra emotional support to employees, the Bank created in its Call Center at the Santa Cecília building, in the city of São Paulo, a room for winding down. It is a reserved room with a different infrastructure from all other Organization environments, offering comfort and material that help to relax and soften the impact caused by the day-to-day activities in and out of the call center. The room is available to all the employees of that section in case they go through situations related to psychological and emotional aspects.

Thus, we consider that the Bradesco Occupational Safety and Health System Management reassures the commitment to the safety and health of our employees, with the adoption of ergonomic management and awareness programs about the importance of safety and health in the work environment.

Training 
 

Believing in people value and in the capacity of development of each individual is one of the values declared by the Organization, made feasible by means of a strong educational process comprising all staff, in all positions and activities developed, aiming at supporting people in their self development by means of a full strategic alignment, and motivating them to constantly seek their improvement.

The Staff Training Department is responsible for the training actions of Bradesco Organization, and by means of the “Bradesco Organization Training Management” process, was granted the NBR ISO 9001:2000 certification in December 2002 and the Company was certified again in December 2005. Thus it ensures an ongoing improvement of processes and the quality of actions of training, reinforcing its commitment to contributing to the development and appreciation of the staff and the employees.

Investments in educational actions to the employees of Bradesco Organization increase each year and show the importance given to the team qualification as a competitive advantage to the success of its results. Among others, these aspects make Bradesco a Complete Bank, which respects the client and shows its various actions with transparency and credibility, reflecting the value added of being a Bank which invests the most in its staff qualification – and this justifies and makes the “120 reasons to be a Bradesco Client” become a real belief practiced by the Organization.

For 2007, a budget of R$69.9 million was made available, 28% higher than the average of investments made over the last 5 years, providing the continuity of the main training programs targeted at several areas of the Organization and at the implementation of new programs aimed at meeting corporate business strategies.

Fundação Bradesco – The Bradesco Organization’s Social Action 
 

Background 
 

Fundação Bradesco, a non-profit entity, headquartered at Cidade de Deus, Osasco - SP, was founded in 1956 and declared to be of Federal Public Utility by Decree no. 86,238, on July 30, 1981.

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

209


Objectives and Goals 
 

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

Accordingly, the reach of Fundação Bradesco has been expanded yearly, increasing the number of enrolled students from 13,080 to 108,151 over the last twenty-five years. The schools of Fundação Bradesco run free education for Kindergarten, Primary School and High School, Continued and Preliminary Education of Workers as well as High School Technical Professional Education in IT, Electronics, Industry, Management and Agribusiness.

In addition, the students receive free school materials, uniforms, meals and health and dental care assistance.

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

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

Fundação Bradesco’s multi-disciplinary learning seeks to provide students with access to practical and theoretical cognitive content, based on the principle that the development process is both dialectic and constructive.

On this intent, Fundação Bradesco offers various continuing education opportunities to educators, including presence and long-distance courses.

Concomitantly to teacher education, there is the production of teaching materials and resources. Books used by students from the 1st to the 5th year of Elementary School, Philosophy material for high school, CD-ROMs and DVDs for teachers with guidelines for their work.

Technical Professional Education 
 

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

High School Technical Education 
 

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

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

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

Preliminary and Continuing Qualification of Workers 
 

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

Youth and Adult Education 
 

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

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

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

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

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

Material Facts 
 

Fundação Bradesco renewed its support to Alfabetização Solidária (Solidary Literacy), investing R$900 thousand. In 2007, approximately 10 thousand students and 430 teachers will be benefited with resources from Fundação Bradesco in 14 municipalities of the Northeast region with high illiteracy indices.

In June, in order to celebrate the environment month, Fundação Bradesco took part in Viva a Mata event, promoted by Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica in Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo, by presenting works developed in the mini-nurseries of SOS Mata Atlântica, established in ten of its school units.

Fundação Bradesco supported and sponsored the International Exhibition of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, carried out in São Paulo, which comprised in two pavilions the main companies and research institutions related to robotics in Brazil: Robots Exhibit, for general public, with robotics attractions and competitions, space for humanoids and educational space and Robotics Conference & Expo, with technology innovations and trends for professionals of robotics and artificial intelligence areas, as well as the handling of products involving technology to solve problems. Fundação Bradesco took part in both pavilions, presenting projects of Campinas/SP, Gravataí/RS and Osasco/SP schools.

Aiming to offer basic education in information technology and access to public services on the Internet, besides valuing citizenship with the development of actions articulated with the communities, Fundação Bradesco has implemented three more “Digital Inclusion Centers” (CID): in Casa Acolhida, in Belo Horizonte, in the city of Embu das Artes/SP and Lagoa Tapeba II indigenous village, in Caucaia/CE, the latter is the fourth digital inclusion center established in an indigenous community. It is a joint project between Fundação Bradesco and companies in the technology sector, aiming at fighting against the digital exclusion and expanding the service to people who live close to the Schools, in spaces managed by the community’s volunteers. High School Students offer monitoring for the conduction of the activities, acting as protagonists.

Teresina School Unit celebrated 25 years of activities, with the presence of authorities who pointed out the importance of Fundação Bradesco’s work for the region of the district Grande Dirceu, which has currently more than 20 thousand inhabitants. 25 years ago Fundação Bradesco was established in the community and since has graduated many students.

During the Annual General Meeting of GIFE – Group of Institutes, Foundations and Companies, the 52 attending members approved the people appointed to constitute the new Fiscal and Governance Councils for the 2007-2009 management. Teacher Denise Aguiar Alvarez Valente, Fundação Bradesco’s officer and member of Bradesco’s Board of Directors, was appointed as the president of GIFE Network of Social Investment.

Dear Stockholders,

The Brazilian economy has shown unequivocal signs of growth. The stimulus given to families and companies to take risks increases as the basic interest rate has been constantly decreasing since September 2005. The inflation is expected to remain steady, lower than the government target. The private investment responds to the higher predictability and favorable dynamics of the domestic consumption market, enabling expectations for the loan volume increase. The positive assessment of markets in relation to the Brazilian economic principles makes Brazil Risk converges to the situation observed in countries already classified as investment grade, thus generating good perspectives for direct foreign investments.

With the intention to reaffirm the permanent commitment to strengthen the Organization and, consequently, contribute to its continuity, Bradesco Organization’s Board of Directors approved the Corporate Governance Policy, as well as the Policies of Disclosure of Material Act or Fact and Trading of Securities, Internal Controls and Compliance, Corporate Social-environmental Responsibility, Human Resources Management, Information Security and Operational Risk Management.

In March 2007, the IT Governance Area was created, with the purpose of harmonizing the IT Management processes, towards the achievement of goals and real needs of the businesses resulting from strategic decisions.

222


The Bank has the specific Corporate Governance rating with classification AA (Great Practices), showing the Organization’s commitment to its stockholders, clients, investors, employees and the general public, highlighting the different aspects of solidity, transparency, liquidity and social-environmental responsibility.

In the period, it is worth mentioning that Bradesco Organization, in compliance with Instruction 381, issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, did not contract or had services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes unrelated to the independent audit in levels higher than 5% of total costs thereof. The policy adopted complies with the principles preserving the auditor’s independence, pursuant to the internationally accepted criteria, such as: the auditor shall neither audit his own work, nor perform management duties with his client or promote his interests.

The Annual Stockholders’ Meeting as of March 12 resolved to maintain the Fiscal Council, composed of 3 sitting members and 3 deputy members, with a term of office until 2008, being 1 sitting member and deputy chosen amongst preferred stockholders.

8.1 Internal Controls and Compliance

The Internal Controls and Compliance System adopted by Bradesco Organization is an important instrument of risk management and Corporate Governance.

More generally, it is a structured project comprising the Board of Directors, its advisory Committees, the Board of Executive Officers, Managements and all Organization’s employees, with the purpose of allowing a safer, more adequate and efficient conduct of business aligned with regulations set forth by the National Monetary Council.

The Organization continuously revaluates the flows of its processes and systems and, at the same time, has regularly performed adherence tests to assess the effectiveness of existing controls, involving the Areas, the Internal Controls and Compliance and Audit Committees, with a summarized report to the Board of Directors. The work is structured based on the main control framework, such as COSO – Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway

Commission and COBIT – Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology, which comprise Business and Technology aspects, respectively, as well as PCAOB – Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. It also fully complies with Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Since Bradesco has ADRs – American Depositary Receipts traded on the New York Stock Exchange and is classified in the foreign issuer category, it filed in the Securities and Exchange Commission – SEC, in June 2007, the form 20-F, which has as one of its purposes to record the certification and efficiency of internal controls adopted by the Organization, as well as ensure the veracity of accounting, economic and financial information for the previous fiscal year, in compliance with Section 404 requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The certifications were issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes and by the Chief Executive Officer – CEO and Chief Financial Officer – CFO of the Bank. The internal controls of Bradesco Organization were proved effective in December 31, 2006.

Money “Laundering” Prevention

The Bank counts on a program to avoid and fight against the use of its products and services in the money “laundering” arising from illegal activities, including those related to corruption and terrorism cases. Therefore, it has specific policies, processes and systems to control and prevent money “laundering”.

The participation of the Senior Management in the Executive Committee of Money “Laundering” Prevention and Detection ensures the alignment between the different areas and activities of the Organization, meeting every quarter to evaluate the works and the adoption of measures necessary to maintain it in compliance with the best international practices related to the prevention and fight against money “laundering” and terrorism financing.

The “Know your Client” and “Know your Employee” policies, the substantial investments in training, processes and control systems and operation monitoring allow the appropriate identification of unusual situations which, after being analyzed by an specialized team, are sent to the aforementioned Committee in order to decide whether the cases shall be submitted to competent authorities, regardless

223


the operation has been carried out or not. The business units have autonomy to refuse businesses and operations considered suspicious or unusual, and the unusual business proposal is refused and reported to this Committee.

Information Security

The Information Security is basically constituted by a set of controls, including polices, processes, organizational structures and security rules and procedures. It aims at protecting information of clients and Organization, in the confidentiality, integrity and availability aspects.

Bradesco Organization established the Information Security Corporate Policy, which may be found at our website www.bradesco.com.br, and maintains a formal infrastructure, with the purpose of promoting the corporate management of Information Security, providing effective protection to Information Assets. The Information Security Corporate Policy comprises Privacy Directives, voluntarily established by Bradesco Organization, with the purpose of protecting data privacy of clients, reflecting the Organization’s values and reaffirming its commitment to the continuous improvement of the efficiency of the Data Protection process.

With the purpose of preserving total compliance with these procedures, constant training programs are carried out, as well as awareness of employees and reviews of policies.

8.2 Policies of Transparency and Disclosure of Information

In its relationship with investors and the market in general, 75 internal and external meetings with analysts were promoted in the period, 17 conference calls, 6 presentations to APIMEC – Association of the Capital Markets Investment Analysts and Professionals and 8 events abroad, besides quarterly release of Report on Economic and Financial Analysis, a detailed collection of information most requested by specialized readers. Bradesco also took part in the “Meeting with the Investor”, promoted by INI –Brazilian Institute of Investors, answering the questions of individuals investors.

At the website www.bradesco.com.br, Investor Relations Section, you can access information related to Bradesco Organization, for instance, its profile, history, ownership structure, management reports, financial results, last acquisitions, meetings at the APIMECs, in addition to other information about the financial market, in the Portuguese, English and Spanish versions.

The Bank monthly distributes a newsletter called “Cliente Sempre em Dia” (Updated News for the Client), with circulation of 700 thousand copies; quarterly, “Acionista Sempre em Dia” (Updated News for the Stockholder), with 35 thousand copies, “Revista Bradesco” (Bradesco Magazine), with 26 thousand copies and “Revista Bradesco Rural” (Bradesco Rural Magazine), with 5 thousand copies, all of them targeting external readers. Annually it publishes the Management and the Sustainability Reports.

9. Risk Management

Directly subordinated to an Executive Officer and to the CEO of the Bank and carried out independently, the risk management involves an integrated set of controls and processes, comprising credit risk, market risk and operational risk. By principle, the Organization adopts a conservative policy in terms of exposure to risks, and the guidelines and limits are defined by the Senior Management.

9.1. Credit Risk

The Credit Risk management in the Organization, aligned with the best practices, always recognizing the Brazilian market situation, is a continuous and evolutionary process of mapping, assessment and diagnosis of models, instruments, policies and procedures in force, requiring a high level of discipline and control in the analyses of operations, preserving the integrity and independence of processes. It also aims to comply with the requirements proposed in the New Basel Accord.

9.2 Market Risk

Based on methodologies and models aligned with the best practices of the domestic and foreign markets, the market risk is carefully followed, assessed and managed, also complying with the recommendations and rules of the regulatory bodies. The market risk management policy is conservative, and the VaR ( Value at Risk) limits are defined by the Senior Management and daily monitored, in an independent way.

224


9.3 Operational Risk Management

Bradesco Organization considers the Operational Risk Management activity essential for the generation of value added, and its success is based on the dissemination of culture, tools availability, disclosure of policies and implementation of corporate methodologies. These assumptions allow the improvement of internal processes, as well as the support to the business areas, with the purpose of improving the operational efficiency and decreasing the capital commitment.

With a continuous work to be aligned with the best market practices in the operational risk management, Bradesco is ready to meet the guidance of the New Basel Capital Accord, pursuant to the schedule established by the Brazilian Central Bank. The Organization’s goal is to reach a qualification for the Capital Allocation Model by the Advanced Internal Measuring Approach (AMA), as the adoption of this method will provide lower capital allocation.

It is also worth pointing out that a new corporate systemic platform is under development, which will integrate in a single database the information of Operational Risk and Internal Controls, comprising inclusively the requirements set forth by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

10.Bradesco Organization’s Social-environmental Action

10.1 Social-environmental Responsibility

The social-environmental issue and its impacts on the economic development of the country play an important role in Bradesco’s strategic planning. The Bank adopted the reviewed version of the Equator Principles, ratifying the commitment of evaluating all project financing with amount equal or higher than US$10 million. It was the first Bank to launch a measurement program of its direct and indirect participation in the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, with the purpose of neutralizing this production, and among its consumption materials, it also started using recycled paper to make checkbooks and printed matters with the same safety, quality and reliability already seen by all the market. Currently, around 90% of the paper consumed is recycled.

In this line, and reinsuring the commitment to transparency and accountability concerning its practices, Bradesco started to adopt, in 2006, the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative – GRI in its Sustainability and Annual Reports.

It is worth pointing out that Bradesco is the first financial institution of the Americas to receive SA 8000® Rule, a certification granted by Social Accountability International – SAI, which evaluates the adoption of good social responsibility practices, such as respect to human rights, child rights and the main labor rights, in addition to a safe and healthy work environment.

With the purpose of disseminating the social-environmental responsibility practices, Bradesco has been carrying out, within the scope of its relationships, meetings with suppliers of products and services it consumes, of the most different segments, aiming at the diffusion and awareness about the vital importance of this matter.

At the Bank’s Social-environmental Responsibility website, www.bradesco.com.br/rsa, the Social-environmental Responsibility Corporate Policy is made available, defining the guidelines about the theme, increasing the visibility of the Organization’s actions towards sustainable development.

10.2 Fundação Bradesco

In the social area, the Organization is mainly focused on the educational and assistance work developed for more than 50 years by Fundação Bradesco, aimed at the education of low-income children, youngsters and adults. Through its own 40 schools set up in all Brazilian States and in the Federal District, Fundação Bradesco has already graduated and qualified more than 662 thousand students in Elementary School, High School Technical Professional Courses, Adult and Youngster Education Courses, and Initial and Continuing Education of Workers, in the country’s largest private program for investment in social education. This year, with a planned budget of R$189.851 million, Fundação Bradesco will provide free quality education to more than 108 thousand students, of whom over 50 thousand are elementary students and will also receive free food, medical and dental assistance, uniforms and school supplies.

225


10.3 Finasa Sports Program

Finasa Sports Program, promoted by Bradesco Organization, has as main purpose the development of children and adolescents by means of activities such as sports, education actions, health and well-being. It is one more demonstration of support of the Organization towards citizenship and social inclusion.

Structured in 52 volleyball and basketball training centers at Fundação Bradesco in Osasco, SP, and in local schools and sports centers in the city, it currently assists 3,000 girls from 9 to 18 years of age.

11. Human Resources

Bradesco Organization, recognizing in the value of performance and in the achieving potential of people the sustenance basis of its businesses, encourages the professional improvement of its staff, by means of training programs, aiming at their qualification to always provide clients an assistance of excellence, in addition to ensuring growth opportunity and professional development. Thus, in the first half of 2007, 1,028 courses were conducted, with 462,225 participations.

It is also worth pointing out that the assistance benefits aimed at the improvement of the quality of life, well being and safety of the employees and their dependents comprised 175,633 lives on June 30.

These are facts that consolidate the Management Policy of Human Resources as one of the priorities of the Organization.

12. Recognitions

Ranking – In the first half of 2007, we can highlight:

Rating – In the period, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Rating increased the risk rating in foreign currency of the Bank, placing it in the investment grade category.

13. Acknowledgments

All these facts shows Bradesco’s commitment to always offer high standard products and services. For the achievements and advances reached, we wish to thank our stockholders and clients for their support and trust and our employees for their dedicated and efficient work.

1) Operations

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

In this context, on January 23, 2007, Bradesco executed with controlling stockholders of Banco BMC S.A. (BMC) “Private Instrument for Commitment of Merger of Stocks and Other Covenants”, for the acquisition of BMC and its subsidiaries BMC Asset Management Ltda. – Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários, BMC Previdência Privada S.A. and Credicerto Promotora de Vendas Ltda. The operation comprises the transfer to Bradesco of 100% of the stocks representing BMC’s capital stock. The payment will be by delivering to BMC’s stockholders stocks issued by Bradesco corresponding to approximately 0.94% of its capital stock, which will be increased by R$800 million. The merger will provide Bradesco with an increasing platform in the fastest-growing sector of the Brazil consumer financing market, as well as with a strengthened presence in the financing of SMEs. The operation was ratified by the Brazilian Central Bank (Bacen) on August 1, 2007, thus it did not impact the current financial statements.

2) Presentation of the Financial Statements

The 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 Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). They were prepared based on accounting policies determined by Brazilian Corporate Law for the recording of operations, as well as the rules and instructions of the National Monetary Council (CMN), Bacen, Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), Brazilian Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), Superintendence of Private Insurance (Susep) and the National Agency for Supplementary Healthcare (ANS), and consider the financial statements of the leasing companies based on the capital leasing method of accounting, whereby leased assets are reclassified to the leasing operations account, deducted from the residual amount received 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 the portions of the net income and the stockholders’ equity referring to the interest of minority stockholders were highlighted. In the case of investments which are jointly controlled with other stockholders, asset, liability and income components were included in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the percentage capital ownership of each investee. Goodwill on the acquisition of investments in subsidiaries and in the jointly controlled investments was presented in deferred assets until June 30, 2006, and was fully amortized in 3Q06. Goodwill calculated in acquisitions after this date has been fully amortized in the periods in which the investments acquisition occurred (Note 15a). The exchange variation arising from transactions of foreign branches and subsidiaries was allocated to the statement of income accounts according to the corresponding assets and liabilities from which it was originated.

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

Supplementary Information to Financial Statements:

With the purpose of providing supplementary information, we present the cash flow statement by the indirect method and the value added statement, not required by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and by Bacen, which have been prepared in conformity with the structure set forth in the Chart of Accounts for National Financial System Institutions (Cosif).

3) Significant Accounting Policies

a) Determination of net income

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

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

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

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

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

b) Interbank investments

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

239


c) Securities

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

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

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

d) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

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

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

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

Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts and other receivables with characteristics of loan granting are classified at their corresponding risk levels in compliance with: (i) the parameters established by CMN Resolution no. 2,682, at nine levels from “AA” (minimum risk) to “H” (maximum risk); and (ii) Management’s risk level assessment. This assessment, which is carried out on a periodic basis, considers current economic conditions and past loan loss experience, as well as specific and general risks relating to operations, borrowers and guarantors. Moreover, the length of the delay in payment defined in CMN Resolution no. 2,682 is also taken into account for customer risk classification purposes as follows:

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

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

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

Renegotiated operations are maintained, at least, with a classification equal to their prior rating. Renegotiated loan operations, already written-off against the provision and which are recorded in memorandum accounts, are classified at “H” level and the possible revenues derived from their renegotiation are recognized as revenue only when they are effectively received. When there is a significant amortization of the operation or when new material facts justify the risk level change, pursuant to CMN Resolution no. 2,682, the operation may be reclassified to a lower risk category.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses and takes into consideration Bacen rules and instructions, connected to assessments carried out by the Management, in the loan risks determination.

240


f) Taxes on income (asset and liability)

Tax credits on taxes on income, calculated on tax losses, negative basis of social contribution and temporary additions are recorded in “Other receivables – Sundry”, and the provision for deferred tax liabilities on excess depreciation and mark-to-market adjustments of securities is recorded in “Other liabilities – Fiscal and Social security”.

Tax credits on temporary additions are carried out upon use and/or reversal of the corresponding provisions on which they were recorded. Tax credits on tax losses and negative basis of social contribution will be carried out as taxable income is generated. Such tax credits are recorded based on the current expectations for their realization, taking into account the technical studies and analyses carried out by the management.

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

g) Prepaid expenses

These record investments of resources in prepayments, whose benefits or service provision will take place in future periods, therefore, they are recorded in assets considering the accrual method of accounting, which determines that income and expenses must be included in the determination of the income for the periods in which they occur, always simultaneously when they are correlated, regardless of receipt or payment.

Prepaid payments correspond to the installment already paid for service rights to be received or for the future use of financial assets or resources from third-parties.

This group is basically represented by: commission in the placement of financings, contracts in the rendering of banking services, insurance selling expenses, insurance expenses and other costs on funding abroad and advertising expenses, as described in Note 12 b.

Thus, based on the “accrual method of accounting” and the “confrontation between income and expense”, incurred costs related to corresponding assets which will generate income in subsequent periods are recorded in prepaid expenses. These assets are appropriated to the income in accordance with terms and amounts of benefits which are expected and directly written-off in the income when corresponding assets and rights are no longer part of the institution’s assets or the expected future benefits can not be realized.

h) Investments

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

The exchange membership certificates of Stock Exchanges, the Custody and Settlement Chamber (Cetip) and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) are evaluated and adjusted at their unaudited book values, informed by the corresponding exchanges as counterentry to the account highlighted in the stockholders’ equity, and fiscal incentives and other investments are recorded at acquisition cost, less the provision for losses, when applicable.

i) Fixed assets

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

j) Deferred assets

Deferred assets are recorded at cost of acquisition or formation, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization at 20% per annum, calculated on the straight-line method.

Goodwill in the acquisition of investments in subsidiary companies and shared control subsidiaries, based on future profitability expectation, with an amortization of 10% to 20% per annum, was recorded in deferred assets, until June 30, 2006. Goodwill as of June 30, 2006 was reviewed by the Management Bodies and was fully amortized in 3Q06, as well as goodwill calculated in 1H07, as mentioned in Note 15a.

241


k) 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 pro rata basis.

l) Provisions relating to insurance, private pension plans and certificated savings plans activities

Technical provisions are calculated according to actuarial technical notes approved by Susep and ANS, and criteria set forth by CNSP Resolution no. 162/2006.

• Insurance of basic lines, life and health

– The provision of unearned premiums is comprised of retained premiums which are deferred during the term of effectiveness of the insurance agreements, determining the pro rata day value of the unearned premium of the period of the risk to accrue (future risk of policies in effect). When this provision’s insufficiency is ascertained by means of actuarial calculation, the Provision of Premium Insufficiency will be formed.

– The provision of claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is calculated on an actuarial basis to quantify the amount of claims incurred and not reported by those insured/beneficiaries. The provision is established net of recoveries of co-insurance and re-insurance.

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

– “Other provisions” refers to 59-year-old or over insurance policy holders owning individual health insurance plans sold after Law 9,656/98, for remission benefits, and to offset the difference between the amounts resulting from applying to the monthly fees of the “individual plan” insurance the restatements authorized by the ANS annually, and those calculated based on the sector’s price restatement, which burden the average amount of the indemnified events.

• Supplementary private pension plans and life insurance covering survival

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

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

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

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

• Certificated savings plans

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

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

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

242


m) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Legal Liabilities – Tax and Social Security

The recognition, measuring and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and legal liabilities are made according to the criteria defined in CVM Resolution 489/05.

• Contingent Assets: they are not recognized on an accounting basis, except when the Management has total control of the situation or when there are real guarantees or favorable judicial decisions, on which more resources are not provided for, characterizing the gain as practically certain. The contingent assets with probability of probable success are only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements (Note 18a);

• Contingent Liabilities: they are established 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, what would cause a probable outflow of resources for the settlement of liabilities and when the amounts involved are measurable with enough safety. The contingent liabilities classified as possible losses are not recognized on an accounting basis, and they must only be disclosed in the notes, and those classified as remote do not require provision nor disclosure (Notes 18b and 18c); and

• Legal Liabilities – Tax and Social Security: they result from judicial proceedings related to tax liabilities, whose purpose of contestation is their legality or constitutionality, which regardless of the evaluation about the probability of success, have their amounts fully recognized in the financial statements (Note 18b).

n) 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 pro rata basis), and provision for loss, when deemed appropriate. The liabilities include known or estimated amounts, plus related charges and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis).

(1)   For comparison purposes with the criterion adopted by Bacen Circular no. 3068 and due to securities characteristics, we are considering the derivative financial instruments under the category “Trading Securities”; 
(2)   These refer to investment funds and managed portfolio applied in purchase and sale commitments with Bradesco, the owners of which are subsidiaries, included in the consolidated  financial statements; 
(3)   The investment fund quotas were distributed according to instruments composing their portfolios and preserving the classification of funds category; 
(4)   On June 30, 2007, R$8,321,604 thousand were transferred from “Securities Available for Sale” to “Securities Held to Maturity”, due to the management’s intent to its realization; 
(5)   In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of Bacen Circular no. 3068, Bradesco declares that it has both the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified in the securities held to maturity’s category. This financial capacity is evidenced in Note 32a, which presents the maturities of asset and liability operations on the reference date of June 30, 2007; 
(6)   The number of days to maturity was based on the maturity of the securities, regardless of their accounting classification; 
(7)   This column reflects book value subsequent to mark-to-market, except for securities held to maturity, whose market value is higher than the restated cost value in the amount of     R$1,539,794 thousand (March 31, 2007 – R$1,103,877 thousand and June 30, 2006 – R$789,106 thousand); and 
   
(8)   The market value of securities is determined based on the market price available on the balance sheet date. In case no market prices are 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 respective quotas. 

e) Derivative financial instruments

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

Property, plant and equipment in use of Bradesco Organization present an unrecorded increment of R$1,205,034 thousand (March 31, 2007 – R$1,161,041 thousand and June 30, 2006 – R$1,108,382 thousand) based on appraisal reports prepared by independent experts in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio, in relation to “economic-financial consolidated” reference stockholders’ equity is 8.49% (March 31, 2007 – 11.45% and June 30, 2006 16.40%), and the “financial consolidated” basis is 47.43% (March 31, 2007 – 49.23% and June 30, 2006 – 48.03%), within the maximum 50% limit.

The difference between the fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio of the “economic-financial consolidated” and of the “financial consolidated” derives from the existence of non-financial subsidiaries which have a high liquidity and a low fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio, with the consequent increase in the fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio of the “financial consolidated”. Whenever necessary, we may reallocate the funds for the financial companies through the payment of dividends/interest on own capital to financial companies or corporate restructuring between the financial and non-financial companies, thus allowing the improvement of that ratio.

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

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

(ii) current and future flows of credit card receivables arising from expenses made in Brazilian territory by holders of credit cards issued outside Brazil.
The long-term securities issued by the SPEs and sold to investors will be settled through funds derived from the money order flows and credit card bills. Bradesco is obliged to redeem these securities in specific cases of default or if the SPEs’ operations are discontinued.

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

18) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Legal Liabilities – Tax And Social Security

a) Contingent Assets

Contingent assets were not recognized on an accounting basis in the period, however, there are proceedings whose perspective of success is probable. The main ones are:

– Tax on Net Income - (ILL) R$353,390 thousand: it pleads the return, by means of compensation or restitution, of the amounts collected as Tax on Net Income established by article 35 of Law no. 7,713/88, once the referred tax was unconstitutionally judged by the Federal Supreme Court; and

– Social Integration Program – (PIS) R$101,756 thousand: it pleads the compensation of PIS on the Operating Gross Revenue, collected under the terms of the Decrees Laws no. 2,445 and no. 2,449/88, in what exceeded the amount due under the terms of the Supplementary Law no. 07/70 (PIS Repique).

b) Contingent Liabilities classified as probable losses and Legal Liabilities – Tax and Social Security

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

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

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

The liability related to the legal liability in judicial discussion is maintained until the definite gain of the lawsuit, represented by favorable judicial decision, on which resources are not provided, or its prescription.

I – Labor claims

These are claims brought by former employees seeking indemnity, especially the payment of unpaid overtime. The amount of the labor claims is provisioned based on the average value determined by the total payments made of the claims ended in the last 12 months, considering the similarity of these proceedings.

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

II – Civil lawsuits

These are claims for pain and suffering and property damages, mainly protests, bounced checks and the inclusion of information about debtors in the restricted credit registry. These lawsuits are individually controlled and provisioned for specific lawsuits based on the opinion of the legal advisors, taking into consideration the nature of the lawsuits, similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and positioning of Courts.

The issues discussed in the lawsuits usually are not events that cause a representative impact on the financial results. Approximately 60% of the lawsuits were brought at the small claims court, in which the requests are limited to 40 minimum wages. Moreover, approximately 50% of these lawsuits are judged unfounded and the amount of the condemnation imposed corresponds to the historical average of only 5% of the total amount claimed.

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

III – Legal Liabilities – Tax and Social Security

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

The main matters are:

– CSLL – R$1,185,652 thousand: questioning of CSLL required from financial institutions in the reference years from 1995 to 1998 by rates higher than the ones applied to general legal entities, not complying with the constitutional principle of isonomy;

– Cofins – R$1,312,320 thousand: it pleads to calculate and collect Cofins, as from October 2005, on the effective sales results, whose concept is in the article 2 of Supplementary Law no. 70/91, removing the unconstitutional increase of the calculation basis intended by paragraph 1 of article 3 of Law no. 9,718/98;

– CSLL – R$458,636 thousand: it pleads the non collection of CSLL of the reference years from 1996 to 1998, years in which some companies of Bradesco Organization did not have employees, once the subsection I, article 195, of the Federal Constitution provides for that this contribution is only due by employers;

273


– INSS Autonomous Brokers – R$493,541 thousand: it discusses the incidence of the social security contribution on the remunerations paid to the autonomous service providers, established by the Supplementary Law 84/96 and subsequent regulations/amendments, to the rate of 20% and additional of 2.5%, under the argument that the services are not provided to the insurance companies, but to the insured, thus being out of the incidence field of the contribution provided for in the item I, Article 22, of Law no. 8,212/91, with new wording in Law no. 9,876/99;

– IRPJ/Credit Losses – R$571,103 thousand: it pleads to deduct, for purposes of determination of the calculation basis of due IRPJ and CSLL, the amount of the effective and definite losses, total or partial, suffered in the reference years from 1997 to 2005, in the reception of credits, regardless of the compliance with the conditions and terms provided for in articles 9 to 14 of Law no. 9,430/96 which only apply to the provisory losses; and

– PIS – R$246,553 thousand: it pleads the compensation of the amounts unduly overpaid in the reference years of 1994 and 1995 as contribution to PIS, corresponding to the exceeding amount to what would be due on the calculation basis constitutionally provided for, i.e. operating gross revenue, as defined in the income tax legislation – concept in article 44 of Law no. 4,506/64, not included financial revenues.

c) Contingent Liabilities classified as possible losses

Bradesco Organization maintains a follow-up system for 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 non-success. In this context the contingent proceedings evaluated as risk of possible loss are not recognized on an accounting basis, and the principal is related to leasing companies’ ISSQN, in the amount of R$130,942 thousand. In this proceeding, the demand of the referred tax by municipalities other than those where the companies are set up and to which the tax is collected in compliance with law is discussed.

The Special Stockholders’ Meeting held on October 5, 2006 resolved to increase the capital stock by R$1,200,000 thousand, by means of the issuance of 21,818,182 new stocks, all non-par registered, book entry stocks, 10,909,152 of which are common stocks and 10,909,030 are preferred stocks, at the price of R$55.00 per stock, by means of the private subscription by stockholders from October 19 to November 20, 2006, in the proportion of 2.226746958% on the stock position which each one had on the date of the meeting. The stockholders paid up the subscribed stocks on December 7, 2006, which correspond to 96.41% of stocks issued; the remaining stocks equivalent to 3.59% of the total offer were sold in an auction carried out on December 4, 2006 in Bovespa, and the financial settlement also occurred on December 7. The exceeding of the amount destined to the capital stock formation, in the amount of R$18,295 thousand, calculated by the difference between the issuance price and the sale price of stocks in auction, was recorded in the item “Capital Reserve – Stocks Goodwill”. The proceeding was ratified by Bacen on January 2, 2007.

The Special Stockholders’ Meeting held on March 12, 2007 resolved on a R$3,800,000 thousand increase in the capital stock, raising it from R$14,200,000 thousand to R$18,000,000 thousand, by using part of the balance in the account “Profit Reserves – Statutory Reserve”, assigning to Company’s stockholders, free of charge, as a bonus, one new stock of the same type for each stock owned. 1,000,679,724 non-par registered, book-entry stocks were issued, 500,042,656 of which were common stocks and 500,637,068 were preferred stocks.

Simultaneously and in the same proportion to the transaction in the Brazilian Market, Depositary Receipts (DRs) were granted as bonus in the American (NYSE) and European (Latibex) Markets, and investors received one new DR for each DR owned, which continued to be traded in the proportion of one preferred stock to one DR, in the respective markets.

c) Interest on own capital/dividends

Non-voting preferred stocks are entitled to all rights and benefits attributed to common stocks and, in conformity with Bradesco’s Bylaws, have priority to repayment of capital and 10% (ten per cent) additional of interest on own capital and/or dividends, in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 1, item II of Article 17 of Law no. 6,404/1976, as amended in Law no. 10,303/2001.

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

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

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

The Board of Directors’ Meeting held on February 7, 2007 resolved on the approval of the Board of Executive Officers to increase by 10% the amount of the monthly interest on own capital paid to stockholders in advance pursuant to the monthly compensation system, raising it from R$0.032775000 to R$0.036052500, related to common stocks, and from R$0.036052500 to R$ 0.039657750, referring to preferred stocks, to become effective as from the interest on own capital referring to March 2007 paid on 4.2.2007, benefiting the stockholders who were registered at the Company’s records as of 3.1.2007.

279


The stocks resulting from the bonus resolved at the Special General Meeting held on March 12, 2007 are entitled to monthly dividends and/or interest on own capital, and, occasionally, supplementary dividends declared after March 23, 2007, but did not entail an increase in the distribution of the latter, as they aim solely at improving their liquidity. Thus, the amount of monthly interest on own capital, declared after March 23, 2007, was adjusted, decreasing from R$0.036052500 to R$0.018026250 per common stock, and from R$0.039657750 to R$0.019828875 per preferred stock, so that stockholders continue to receive an equal amount of interest on own capital.

At a Special Meeting held on March 5, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Board of Executive Officers’ proposal for the payment of dividends supplementary to the interest on own capital and dividends corresponding to 2006 to stockholders, at the amount of R$0.038062452 per common stock and R$0.041868697 per preferred stock, whose payment was made on March 15, 2007.

At a meeting held on June 27, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Board of Executive Officers’ proposal for the payment of interim dividends corresponding to 1H07 to stockholders, at the amount of R$0.153223130 per common stock and R$0.168545440 per preferred stock, whose payment was made on July 23, 2007.

32) Financial Instruments

a) Risk Management Process

Bradesco approaches on an integrated basis the management of all risks inherent to its activities, supported by its Internal Controls and Compliance structure. Such multidisciplinary vision enables the improvement of risk management standards and avoids the existence of gaps which may jeopardize its correct identification and measurement.

Credit Risk Management

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

Aiming at mitigation of Credit Risk, Bradesco continuously works in the follow-up of credit activities processes, in improvements, examination and preparation of inventories of credit granting and recovery standards, in the monitoring of concentrations and identification of new components offering credit risks.

In addition, efforts, focused on the use of advanced standards of risk measurement and on the ongoing improvement of processes, have reflected on loan portfolio quality and performance, in both results and strength, in the different scenarios in the past and future.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is related to the possibility of loss from fluctuating rates caused by mismatched maturities, currencies and indices of the Institution's asset and liability portfolios. Such risk has been observed by the market with an increasing severity, with a substantial technical evolution in the last years, aiming at avoiding, or at least minimizing, possible losses for institutions, taking into consideration the increase in the complexity of operations carried out in the country and abroad.

At Bradesco, market risks are managed by means of methodologies and standards adherent and compatible with the national and international market reality, enabling to base the Organization’s strategic decisions with high agility and level of reliance.

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

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

Liquidity risk

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

The knowledge and monitoring of this risk are crucial, since they enable the Organization to settle transactions on a timely and secure manner.

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