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, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict and which could be beyond our control. Furthermore, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions which, 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; 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 are made. Except as required under applicable legislation, we assume no obligation whatsoever to update these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other motive.


Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Practices

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 price of our stocks and ADSs

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

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

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

In the last 15 years, Brazil has undergone extremely high inflation rates, with annual rates (IGP – DI from Fundação Getulio Vargas) reaching as high as 1,158% in 1992, 2,708% in 1993 and 1,093% in 1994. More recently, Brazil’s inflation rates were 7.7% in 2003, 12.1% in 2004, 1.2% in 2005 and 3.8% in 2006. Inflation and governmental measures to combat it have had in past years significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. In addition, public speculation about possible future actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets. If Brazil suffers a period of high inflation in the future, our costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor’s confidence lags, the price of our stocks and ADSs may drop. Inflationary pressures may also curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and may occasionally lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.

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

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

II


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

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

Occasionally, developments in other countries have adversely affected the market price of our and other Brazilian companies’ stocks, as investors’ high risk perception due to crisis 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 Argentina and Latin America deteriorates, or if similar developments occur in the international financial markets in the future, the market price of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Bradesco and the Brazilian Banking and Insurance Industries

1) The Brazilian Government regulates the operations of Brazilian banks and insurance companies, and changes in prevailing laws and regulations or the imposition of new ones may 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 capital requirements, compulsory deposits, loan limits and other loan restrictions.

The regulatory structure governing Brazilian banks and insurance companies is continuously evolving. Existing 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) The majority of our common stocks are held by two stockholders, whose interests may conflict with other investors’ interests

On March 31, 2007 Cidade de Deus – Companhia Comercial de Participações held 48.46% of our common stocks and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 47.25% 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.

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 the note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in chapter 8 of this Report.

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

1) Allowance for Loan Losses

We periodically adjust our allowance for loan losses, 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 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 March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses would increase approximately R$43 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 shares traded and also may not reflect the “control premiums” resulting from shareholders’ agreements, those holding significant investments. However, the Management believes that market-quoted prices are the fair value best indicators.

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.

Corporate Strategy

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

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

In the banking segment, we aim at rendering the most varied range of services as retail bank, supported by a staff with more than 79 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 also are focused on the frequent improvement of products and distribution channels. It is also fundamental to promote the business, the treatment given to our team in terms of qualification, promotion and creation of a solidarity culture at work, with a view to fomenting an environment where our employees may develop a career enduring during their entire professional life.

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

The key elements of our business strategy are:

– expansion by means of organic growth;

– performance based on the business model of a large banking institution, having as subsidiary an important insurance company, which we name as “Modelo Banco-Seguros” (Insurance Bank Model), with a view to maintaining our profitability and consolidate our leadership in the insurance industry;

– increase of revenues, profitability and value to stockholders, by consolidating our loan operations, our main activity, and the expansion of new products and services;

– maintenance of our commitment to the technological innovation;

– 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 the 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 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 the Internet and our creativity in developing new distribution channels.

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

– maintaining our current policy of carefully assessing the car insurance risks and rejecting them in events where risks are too high;

– intensively trading our products; and

– maintaining acceptable risk levels in our operations by means of a strategy of:

• setting priorities to insurance underwriting opportunities, according to the risk spread between the revenue expected pursuant to the terms of insurance agreement and the amount of projected claims (statistically) to be due under the terms of such agreement;

• carrying out hedge transactions, so as to set out the mismatch between the real inflation index and provisions for adjustments of interest rates and inflation in long-term agreements; and

• entering into reinsurance agreements with renowned reinsurance companies, executed by means of IRB-Brasil Resseguros (IRB), viewing to reducing the exposure to great risks.

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 the assets management.

4) To maintain Bradesco’s commitment to technological innovation

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

VII


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 organic growth over the next years. In addition, we believe that acquisition opportunities will be smaller size institutions, mainly available by means of privatizations. Notwithstanding, we deem that certain institutions, susceptible to be acquired, could present niche opportunities, such as consumer financing, credit cards and investment bank. Therefore, we continuously evaluate potential strategic alliances as well as consolidation opportunities, including privatization and acquisitions proposals, and other forms, which offer potential opportunities to Bradesco 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 Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$26,029 million as of March 31, 2007, equivalent to a 27.7% increase compared to the balance as of March 31, 2006. Consequently, the annualized return on Average Stockholders’ Equity (ROAE) reached 30,2%.

The main items influencing net income in the three-month period ended on March 31, 2007, compared to the previous period, can be seen below:

(a) Net Interest Income – R$44 million
Such growth is due to “interest” component, with a share of R$331 million (R$855 million due to the increase in business volume, and R$(524) million to the decrease in spreads), pointing out a 16.5% increase in the volume of loan operations for individuals carried out in the twelve-month period ended on March 31, 2007, mainly concerned with consumer sales and personal loan financing, the spread of which is higher if compared to corporate loans. The reduced result of the “non-interest” component amounted to R$287 million, basically due to higher gains of TVM and treasury in 1Q06.

(b) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$(222) million
The variation is mostly due to a 20.2% increase in the volume of loan operations in the twelve-month period ended on March 31, 2007, pointing out the individual client operations, mainly under the type “personal loan”, with an increase of 15.2%, which, in view of its specific characteristic requires, a higher volume of provision.

(c) Income from Insurance,Private Pension Plans and Certificated Savings Plans Operations – R$126 million
The evolution in the period is mostly due to: (i) the better results obtained in insurance products R$149 million and private pension products R$50 million; mitigated : (ii) by the constitution of technical provision in the “individual plan” portfolio.

(d) Fee and Commission Income – R$519 million
The increase in the period is mainly due to a higher volume of operations, combined with the improvement in the segmentation process and Amex Brasil consolidation, pointing out the items “Income from Cards” R$208 million, “Checking Accounts” R$79 million, “Loan Operations” R$81 million and “Assets under Management” R$31 million.

(e) Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$(341) million
Out of such amount, R$41 million of personnel expenses is due to: (i) the increase in salary levels resulting from the collective bargaining agreement of 2006 (3.5%), benefits and other R$30 million; (ii) the higher PLR expenses R$24 million; (iii) the consolidation of Amex Brasil and Fidelity R$42 million; mitigated by: (iv) lower expenses with provision for labor proceedings R$55 million.

The R$223 million of other administrative expenses basically refer to: (i) the effects on increased volume of business; (ii) the consolidation of Amex Brasil; (iii) the investments in the improvement and optimization of the technological platform; and (iv) contractual adjustments in the period.

The R$77 million of tax expenses derive basically from (i) the increase in PIS/Cofins expenses R$28 million, due to the increase in taxable income; (ii) the increase in ISS expenses R$13 million; and (iii) the increase in IPTU expenses R$13 million.

(2) extraordinary technical provision in the “Individual Health” portfolio related to the differences between the restatement of the plans and the corresponding medical and hospital costs;
(3) positive result recorded in the sale of our share in Usiminas in the 4th quarter of 2006; and

In the 1st quarter of 2007, Bradesco’s Net Income reached R$1,705 million, which corresponds to a 5.2% growth when compared to the 4th quarter of 2006. Bradesco’s Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$26,029 million on March 31, 2007, a 5.7% increase in relation to December 2006. Total consolidated assets reached R$281,944 million as of March 31, 2007, growing 6.2% in the quarter.

The main items influencing net income in the 1st quarter of 2007 compared to the previous quarter can be seen below:

(a) Net Interest Income – R$(26) million
Such variation is due to the reduction in the “non-interest” income in the amount of R$132 million, in view of the lower TVM and treasury gains in 1Q07, partially mitigated by the increase in the result of interest -bearing operations in the amount of R$106 million (R$233 million due to the increase in business volume, especially consumer financing operations, and R$(127) million to the decrease in spreads) .

(b)Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – R$29 million
The variation is result of the stability in the delinquency ratio of the consolidated portfolio as compared to the previous quarter, due to the greater share of loans granted to corporate clients, who usually present a lower delinquency, combined with the slight decrease in individuals’ delinquency reversing the growth trend seen during 2006.

(c) Income from Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Certificated Savings Plans Operations –R$(103) million
The variation results basically from the constitution of technical provision in the “individual plan” portfolio in the amount of R$236 million, as complement to the extraordinary technical provision of R$387 million, recorded in 4Q06, related to differences between plans adjustments and the corresponding medical and hospital costs.

(d)Fee and Commission Income – R$135 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$30 million; “Checking Accounts” R$27 million; “Assets under Management” R$25 million; and “Income from Cards” R$16 million.

(e) Personnel, Administrative and Tax Expenses – R$123 million
That variation is partly due to the lower administrative expenses – advertising, related to the intensification of media broadcasting at the end of 2006. In what concerns personnel and tax expenses, they remained practically stable when comparing 1Q07 with 4Q06.

Bradesco Stock Performance
 

Bradesco’s preferred stocks depreciated by 2.7% (adjusted by dividends) in 1Q07, whereas Ibovespa appreciated by 3.0% .

The period was marked by ongoing concerns about the performance of the United States’ and China’s economies, affecting the performance of the markets, in particular emerging ones. These concerns led to two strong movements of market adjustments and showed once more that local grounds were in second place.

The banking sector has presented a good performance so far. The delinquency, one of the sector’s main concerns last year, seems to be under control up to now.

4,649    5,126    10.3    5,304    5,126    (3.4)
 
In the period, income was up mainly as a result of: (i) the increase in the volume of the loan portfolio, which totaled R$101,473 in March/07 against R$84,426 in March/06, i.e., a 20.2% increase, particularly in the corporate portfolio, with an increase of 22.9%, focusing on “BNDES Onlending”, “Guaranteed Account”, “Operations Abroad” and “Working Capital” products. In the individual portfolio, the growth was 16.5%, with focus on the “Auto” and “Personal Loan” products; (ii) lower exchange loss variation of 4.1% in 1Q07, against an exchange loss variation of 7.2% in 1Q06, affecting foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, which comprise 9.5% of total Loan and Leasing Operations, basically derived from corporate portfolio (excluding Advances on Foreign Exchange Contracts (ACC); which was partially affected: (iii) by the decrea se in average interest rates, observing the 3.0% CDI variation in 1Q07, against 4.0% in 1Q06. 
The variation in income in the quarter was mainly due to: (i) the drop in the average interest rates, observing the 3.0% CDI variation in 1Q07, against 3.1% in 4Q06; (ii) by higher exchange loss variation of 4.1% in 1Q07, against exchange loss variation of 1.7% in 4Q06, affecting our foreign currency indexed and/or denominated operations, comprising 9.5% of total Loan and Leasing Operations, basically derived from the corporate portfolio (excluding Advances on Foreign Exchange Contracts (ACC)); which was partially mitigated: (iii) by an increase of 5.5% in the loan portfolio volume, which reached the amount of R$101,473 in March/07, against R$96,219 in December/06, considering that in the corporate portfolio, there was an increase of 5.7%, with focus on the “Operations Abroad”, “Working Capital” and “Guaranteed Account” products, whereas in the individual portfolio the increase was 5.1%, with focus on products linked to consumer financing.

It is worth pointing out the increase of 5.8% in “Working Capital”, of 10.0% in “Operations Abroad” and 20% in “Guaranteed Account”, as a result of the maintenance of the economic activity level. The 5.1% growth in the individual client portfolio, especially in the “Auto” products, with a 3.6% increase and “Personal Loan”, with a 5.8% increase, is a result of a stable economic scenario; offset: (ii) by the exchange loss variation of 4.1% in 1Q07, impacting foreign currency indexed and/or denominated contracts, which account for 9.5% of total portfolio. In terms of concent ration, the 100 largest borrowers accounted for 21.4% of the portfolio in December/06 and 22.7% in March/07.

PDD ratio in relation to the loan portfolio increased from 6.3% in March/06 to 6.7% in March/07. Provision coverage ratio in relation to the loan portfolio under abnormal course, respectively, rated between E and H, decreased from 164.3% in March/06 to 148.3% in March/07, and between D and H, reduced from 132.7% in March/06 to 123.3% in March/07. However, the preventive maintenance of high provision levels made all performance indicators remain in adequate levels. In the period, PDD in the amount of R$4,634 was recorded, R$90 was incorporated arising from acquired institutions and R$3,264 was written off. The exceeding PDD volume in relation to the minimum required increased from R$1,032 in March/06 to R$1,103 in March/07.

Profitability
 

Bradesco’s Net Income reached R$1,705 million in 1Q07, against R$1,530 million reached in the same period of 2006, which corresponds to an 11.4% increase. If we compare it to the R$1,620 income of 4Q06, there was an R$85 million increase, or 5.2% . Stockholders’ Equity amounted to R$26,029 million on March 31, 2007, with a growth of 27.7% compared to the balance of March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the annualized Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity (ROAE) reached 30.2% . Total Assets added up to R$281.944 million at the end of March 31, 2007, growing 30.3% and 6.2% when compared to the balance of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The annualized Return on Average Assets (ROAA) in 1Q07 was 2.5% . Earnings per stock reached R$0.85.

1Q07 showed a decrease in the income composing the Net Interest Income, composed mainly by lower “non-interest” results, reaching the amount of R$411 million, a R$132 million decrease, compared to 4Q06, deriving, basically, from lower gains of treasury and TVM operations. On the other hand, the result with interest reached the amount of R$4,608 million, a R$106 million increase (R$233 million related to business volume increase and R$(127) million related to spread reduction). That increase is mainly due to the increase in business volume, particularly the 5.5% 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 1Q07 a decrease of R$103 million, a reflection of the constitution of technical provision in the “individual plan” portfolio in the amount of R$236 million, as complement to the extraordinary technical provision of R$387 million, recorded in 4Q06, related to differences between plans adjustments and the corresponding medical and hospital costs.

In 1Q07, we could see a slight fall in the delinquency ratio, due to the greater share in the business volume of loan operations of corporate clients, which require a lower level of provisioning, jointly with a slight decrease in individuals’ delinquency. As a result, there was recording of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, in the amount of R$1,160 million in 1Q07, which results in a R$29 million decrease when compared to the recording of R$1,189 million in 4Q06, reaching a level of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of R$6,775 million on March 31, 2007.

The Operating Efficiency Ratio, in the 12-month period ended on March 31, 2007 was 42.1%, keeping stable when compared to the 12-month period ended on December 31, 2006, which was also 42.1%, and presenting an improvement of 2 percentage points when compared to the period ended on March 31, 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 2.6 percentage points, increasing from 75.4% in December 2006 to 78.0% in March 2007, and 6.3 percentage points when compared to the 71.7% of March 2006.

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, according to the table above, as well as the result of R$219 million result obtained in the sale of the stake in Usiminas, occurred in 4Q06, as follows:

b) Comments on the Adjusted Net Interest Income Variation

In 1Q07, the adjusted net interest income reached R$5,019 million, against R$5,045 million in 4Q06, i.e., a slight decrease of 0.5% . The analytical opening of the net interest income result among “interest” and “non-interest” results is shown below:

(=) Adjusted Net Interest Income    4,975    5,019    44    5,045    5,019    (26)

Despite the small 0.5% decrease of the adjusted net interest income quarter-on-quarter, we can see that Consolidated Bradesco’s net interest income rate of “interest” grew by R$106 million, or 2.4%, as compared to the previous quarter (R$233 million related to business volume increase and R$(127) million related to spread reduction).

The economic scenario over the periods under analysis evolved positively with the increase in the Brazilian economic activity, especially with the maintenance of favorable conditions for the growth of financial operations and services. On the other hand, with the reduction in the interest rates (Selic), several of Bradesco’s assets and liabilities had impacts on the spreads, mainly on fundings and loan operations products.

However, the effect of the reduction in the spread was more than offset by the increase in Bradesco’s business volume, which may be confirmed by the expansion of the loan operations which, in the quarter alone, evolved by 5.5%, and in the last twelve months reached a 20.2% increase, particularly in the operations of loans granted to companies, which had a 5.7% evolution in the quarter and 22.9% year-on-year, comparatively higher than the operations with individuals, which had a 5.1% and 16.5% increase, respectively.

In this quarter, by means of marketing campaigns, as well as by the greater sales efforts, real estate financing operations obtained a marked growth of around 10%, in terms of average balance, in the first three months of 2007 alone.

It is worth pointing out that Bradesco, with its strategy of credit democratization, is committed towards expanding and diversifying the financing offer through its wide Service Network and also seeking to expand the volumes of operations and ensure leadership among the Private Financial Institutions.

65


The loan operation products that contributed the most to the improvement of Bradesco’s net interest income rate of “interest” were, essentially, the vehicle financing operations, financing of rotating private label and credit cards.

Another important factor for the expansion of the net interest income rate of “interest” was the evolution in terms of final balance of time and savings deposits, which over the last twelve months showed a 23.9% and 8% growth, respectively, as opposed to the spread reduction in these operations due to the fall in the interest rate (Selic) in the periods.

The increase in the volume of operations was again a fundamental factor for the restructuring of Bradesco’s net interest income in detriment of the global decrease of spreads. Thus, Bradesco constantly searches for strategic positioning by means of the expansion of the operations, with the purpose of expanding net interest income in a sustainable manner, as we can observe the “interest” net interest income in the table below, which compares the quarterly history since 2005.


The annualized net interest income rate of “interest” in the last two quarters of 2006 has presented a retraction due, mostly, to the drop in the interest rate (Selic), which directly influenced the remuneration of own working capital, technical provisions of insurance, private pension plans and certificated savings plans, funding and floating. Another factor that reduced the margin rate was the largest contribution of corporate entities in the loan operation that present smaller spreads when compared to individual clients, which also presented a reduction in spread over the last three quarters, which, on the other hand, will result in a reduction in the need of allowance for doubtful accounts, in view that the delinquency level in the operations with corporate clients is lower compared to operations with individual clients.

The result of the adjusted net interest income coming from “non-interest” results in 1Q07 showed a decrease of R$132 million when compared to 4Q06, due to lower gains with securities and treasury.

Fee and Commission Income increased by 25.4 % in the 1st quarter of 2007, or a R$519 million growth when compared to the same period of the previous year, amounting to R$2,559 million.

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

– the growth of 59.6%, represented by the increase of R$208 million in the item “Cards” (including R$113 related to the consolidation of Amex Brasil), directly related to the increase of 19.9% of the cards base, from 50.2 million to 60.2 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$79 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$81 million improvement; and

– the volume growth of 15.5% in assets under management, from R$131.3 billion on March 31, 2006 to R$151.7 billion on March 31, 2007, which was the main reason for the growth in the item “Assets under Management”, which increased by R$31 million.

When compared to the previous quarter, Fee and Commission Income showed an expansion of 5.6%, with a R$135 million growth, as a result of the increased volume of businesses in 1Q07, pointing out increases of 8.1%, 7.3%, 4.9% and 3.0%, respectively, in the items “Assets under Management” R$25 million, “Loan Operations” R$30 million, “Checking Accounts” R$27 million and “Credit Cards” R$16 million.

In 1Q07, Administrative and Personnel Expenses showed a R$264 million increase when compared to 1Q06, reaching the amount of R$3,000 million against R$2,736 million in the same period of 2006. The nominal variation of Administrative Expenses between 1Q06 and 1Q07 shows a R$223 million increase, reaching the amount of R$1,540 million, mainly due to: (i) the consolidation of Amex Brasil and Fidelity in 2006; (ii) the contractual adjustments in the period; and (iii) the investments in the improvement and optimization of the technological platform.

Personnel Expenses increased R$41 million when compared to the same period of 2006, reaching R$1,460 million, mainly: (i) the increase in the salary levels, resulting from the Collective Bargaining Agreement of 2006 (3.5%), benefits and other R$30; (ii) higher PLR expenses R$24; (iii) the consolidation of Amex Brasil and Fidelity R$42; mitigated: (iv) by the lower expenses with provisions for labor proceedings R$55.

When compared to the previous quarter, Administrative and Personnel Expenses decreased R$131 million, with a drop of 4.2%, from R$3,131 million in 4Q06 to R$3,000 million in 1Q07.

Administrative Expenses decreased by R$131 million compared to the previous quarter, basically due to the reduction: (i) in advertising expenses R$116 million due to the seasonality of 4Q06; and (ii) in outsourced services R$26 million.

Personnel Expenses in 1Q07 remained stable as compared to the previous quarter.

The Operating Efficiency Ratio (year-to-date) up to March 2007 was 42.1%, keeping stable when compared to the 12-month period ended in December 2006. It is also worth mentioning the higher net interest income in the amount of R$43 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 the amount of R$519 million, as a result of the increase in the average volume of transactions of fee realignment and the segmentation process.

We continue the effective control of expense accounts, especially personnel and administrative expenses.

The Coverage Ratio accumulated in the last 12 months (fee and commission income)/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses) improved 2.6 percentage points, increasing from 75.4% in December 2006 to 78.0% in March 2007.

Loan Operations 
 

The consolidated balance of loan operations (according to the concept defined by Bacen which does not include debentures, guarantees, credit letters, interbank deposit certificates etc.) reached at the end of 1Q07 a total of R$101.5 billion, representing a 5.5% increase in the quarter and a 20.2% growth in the last twelve months. Growth in the total loan portfolio could have been higher if it were not for the reduction of the loan acquisition and operating agreements operations, taking into consideration the reduction of the demand of this kind of product, once the market has found other financing alternatives outside the banking market. If the effect of such modalities is not considered, the balance of the loan portfolio in the last twelve months would be approximately R$725 million higher. 

Growth in the loan portfolio of Bradesco Conglomerate was more intense in operations for corporate clients in the last twelve months, especially in the lines directed to business turnover and operations abroad, despite the 5.6% depreciation of the dollar in the period. In the individual businesses, it is worth highlighting the vehicle financing and personal loan portfolios.

Loan Operations – by Currency (in percentage)
 


The loans and onlendings balance indexed and/or denominated in foreign currency (excluding ACCs) reached the amount of U$4.7 billion in March 2007, showing a growth of 10.2% in dollars in the quarter and of 5.7% in Reais, due mainly to the higher volume of operations carried out in Branches and Subsidiaries abroad. In the last twelve months, the growth was 50.9% and 42.4%, respectively.

The loan expansion for individuals, despite maintaining a good growth rate, with evolution of 5.1% in the quarter, showed a slowdown in the last twelve months, accruing 16.5%. The main reasons for the portfolio growth in the quarter were the vehicles financing and personal loan types.

Loan Operations – Individual 
 


We highlight in the loan portfolio for individuals the consumer financing (vehicles, personal loan, leasing, credit card and assets financing), which reached the amount of R$37.0 billion in March 2007, showing a 4.9% growth in the quarter and 25.3% in the last twelve months. Vehicle financing, which remained with the highest volume of loans, aligned to the consigned loans that are linked to payroll charges, for its guarantees and characteristics, provided the portfolio with an adequate loan risk level, as in March 2007 the share of these portfolios in the total balance of consumer financing was 61.1%.

The growth pace of loans granted to companies was higher, in the quarter and in the last twelve months, than loans granted to individuals, with an evolution of 5.7% and 22.9%, respectively. Such behavior in the quarter was influenced by the good performance of the guaranteed account and operations carried out in the Branches and Subsidiaries Abroad portfolios, basically with clients of the Corporate segment. 


Loan Operations – Corporate
 


It is worth pointing out the increase in the relative share in the micro, small and medium-sized companies’ loan portfolio in the last twelve months, due not only to the increase of loans for corporate clients of a smaller size, but also to the maintenance of more favorable conditions to other means of collection with the capital markets for large corporations. 


Loan Operations – Client Characteristic (in percentage)

In the table below, we can observe the evolution in the representativeness of the Bank’s business segments, in which it is worth highlighting the Corporate and Companies segments, which showed an evolution higher than the total portfolio in the quarter and in the last twelve months, reflecting on the increase of its shares in the loans of Bradesco Conglomerate. 

Loan Operations – per Business Segment (in percentage)
 


Loan Operations – By Activity Sector 
 

In 1Q07, the distribution by activity sector had as highlight the growth of Commerce (mainly clothing and footwear). The industry remained with higher loan volume and share of the portfolio (24.8%), followed by the Services (16.4%) and Commerce (15.0%) sectors.

Loan Operations – By Type 
 

The evolution of balance and share in the type of loans and securities discounted in 1Q07 is once more worthy of mentioning due to its performance, which is higher than the growth of the portfolio. We also point out the growth in the balance of operations with Sureties and Guarantees granted, mainly carried out with clients of the Corporate segment. We present below the total loan operations, including sureties and guarantees and credit card (cash and credit purchases store owners).

Loan Operations – Portfolio Quality 
 

Compared to the previous quarter, it was possible to notice stability in the quality of the loan portfolio, whose share of credits rated between “AA” and “C” compared to the total was of 92.2%. 


Loan Operations – by Rating (in percentage)
 


82


 

Loan Operations – Delinquency and Provision Sufficiency 
 

In March 2007, the stability in the delinquency ratio of the consolidated portfolio compared to the previous quarter was verified. That fact was due to the greater share of loans granted to corporate clients, which usually present a lower delinquency, and the slight decrease in delinquency of individual clients, inverting the growth trend seen during 2006. 


Loan Operations – Delinquency up to 90 days x PDD (in percentage)
 


The total volume of allowance for doubtful accounts reached R$6,775 million, representing 6.7% of the total loan portfolio (6.9% in December 2006), ensuring the maintenance of adequate coverage levels for future losses in the current profile of the loan portfolio.
 
In this regard, we point out the strength of the provision criteria adopted, which may be evidenced through the analysis of historical data of allowances for doubtful accounts and losses effectively occurred in the subsequent period of twelve months throughout the analyzed period – we mention, for example: in March 2006, for an existing provision of 6.3% of the portfolio, the loss in the following twelve months was 3.9% of the portfolio, i.e. the provision covered the actual loss with a great margin.

Loan Operations – Portfolio Distribution by Maturity 
 

The term of operations to mature have been extending, mainly due to consumer financing operations, which by their nature have a longer term. The operations with maturity exceeding 180 days represented 51.2% of total portfolio in March 2007, against 48.6% one year ago. It is worth mentioning that the increase in the average term of the portfolio has been occurring in low credit risk products, i.e. vehicle financing and consigned loan.

Loan Operations – Portfolio Movement

In the 1st quarter we saw an overall evolution in Bradesco Conglomerate’s loan portfolio, mainly in operations aimed at corporate clients, and stability in the delinquency ratio, not taking into account the seasonal trend for growth in the period. 

For 2007, Bradesco remains prepared to take full advantage of all business opportunities, focused on increasing the loan portfolio, while respecting the established loan granting parameters, based on the security, consistency, selectivity, diversification and adequate assessment of the risk/return ratio.

Checking Accounts 
 

The balance of the Checking Accounts of Bradesco Organization at the end of 1Q07 was R$20.1 billion, representing an increase of 23.9% compared to the balance at the end of March 2006. 

As of January 2007, we changed the calculation criterion for Banco Bradesco’s active checking account base, so that the accounts held by the same person transferred from one branch to another are not regarded in this base.

Savings Accounts 
 

The balance of Bradesco Organization Savings Accounts, at the end of 1Q07, was R$27.6 billion, corresponding to a 17.8% market share in the Brazilian Savings and Loan System (SBPE) and secured the leadership of Bradesco among all private Banks in the Brazilian Financial System. 

Savings Account Deposits – R$ billion
 


Traditionally, in the first quarter of the year, the balance of the savings account has a slight decrease in view of withdrawals for common expenses, such as IPVA (vehicle ownership tax), IPTU (municipal real estate tax), and school supplies, among others. 

However, the fall in the interest rates observed in the market made savings accounts more appealing, causing a different behavior in which investments offset withdrawals, thus keeping the balance on the same level as in December 2006.

Prêmio Segurador Brasil (“Brazil Insurer” Award)

– “Best Performance in Private Pension Plan” –Segurador Brasil magazine.

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, the company holds a leadership position in one Brazilian state, according to the latest figures for February 2007 published by Susep. The company’s market share was 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 products with a social-environmental character, in September 2006 the products Pé Quente Bradesco SOS Mata Atlântica Empresarial and Pé Quente Bradesco GP Ayrton Senna Empresarial, both designed to corporate clients, were launched. The new products require lump-sum payment of R$10 thousand, and offer monthly raffles of R$100 thousand, gross, and part of the amount collected is given to Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica and Instituto Ayrton Senna, respectively.

We also point out the performance of other 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, 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+/Stable to brAA+/Positive the rating of Bradesco Capitalização, which is the only company of the certificated savings plans segment with this rating. The solid financial and equity protection standard that Bradesco Capitalização ensures to its clients contributed to the result.

Operating Overview 
 

Bradesco Consórcios started to sell consortium purchase plan quotas to Bradesco Organization’s employees on December 9, 2002, and on January 21, 2003, started to sell to its account holders and non-account holders, both for individual and corporate clients.

Bradesco Consórcios sells automobile, trucks, tractors, agricultural implements and real properties plans, according to the rules of the Brazilian Central Bank.

Referring to the sale of plans offered, the company relies on Banco Bradesco Branches Network, liable for higher Bradesco Consórcios share in the consortium purchase plan market. The extensive nature and security associated with the Bradesco Brand are added advantages for expanding consortium purchase plan sales.

Segmentation 
 

Banco Bradesco’s entry into this market is part of its strategy to offer the most complete range of product and services options to its clients, with a view to providing all social classes with the opportunity to purchase items at accessible prices through the consortium quota system, and filling a market gap, especially taking into account that, in relation to real estate product, there is currently high housing deficit in the country.

Operating Performance 
 

The differentiated way of trading products (Real Estate, Automobiles and Trucks), with a specialized and focused team, provided Bradesco Consórcios with a growth of 32% in 1Q07 when compared to the previous period.

Operating Risk 
 

Bradesco Consórcios and DGRC (Department of Risk Management and Compliance) started in February 2005 the works related to the identification and collection of operating losses. Accounting accounts specific for accounting of losses resulting from operating risk events were opened. We understand that these actions meet the concepts introduced by the New Basel Capital Agreement, and this work aims to establish a statistic basis for modeling of the operating risk, with the purpose of lower allocation of capital required, as well as increase the mitigation capacity of risks identified.

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 1Q07, 30 groups were inaugurated and 20.7 thousand consortium quotas were sold. Until March 2007, we recorded total accumulated sales exceeding 295.1 thousand consortium quotas, achieving sales results in excess of R$9.1 billion and recording 110.9 thousand draws, with 83.5 thousand properties delivered and 1,526 active groups.

Leadership 
 

According to a strategy defined by the Organization, Bradesco Consórcios leads the Automobile and Real Estate segments, and searches for a highlighting position in the segment of Trucks, Tractors and Agricultural Implements.

In the Real Estate segment, Bradesco ended March with 106,263 active quotas. In the Automobile segment, Bradesco ended with 154,732 active quotas, surpassing consortium management companies associated with car makers, consolidated in the market, such as Volkswagen, Fiat and General Motors.

In the Trucks, Tractors and Agricultural Implements segment, Bradesco ended this quarter with 8,329 active quotas moving up from the 11th place in 1Q06 to the 7th place in 1Q07 in Bacen’s ranking. The public is getting to know the advantages to acquire an asset, such as Trucks, Tractors and Agricultural Implements, by means of a consortium, thus, Bradesco Consórcios has shown that it has strength to be among the first ones in 2007.

Leadership (Real Estate and Automobile) is conquered and consolidated as a result of ongoing and determined efforts, motivated by the enthusiasm and strength of the Bradesco Branch Network.

Risk Management and Compliance 
 

Credit Risks, Operating Risks, Market Risks, Internal Controls and Compliance 
 

Activity and Structure 
 

The risk management activity is considered to be greatly relevant, due to the growing complexity of services and products offered by the Organization, and also in view of the globalization of its activities. 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.

Bradesco deems the risk management a strategic factor which provides a competitive advantage to the Organization, as its use is focused on adding value to Bradesco Brand name, 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. In this regard, Bradesco foments the technical improvement of its team, and, particularly, the professionalization of those connected with the risk management and control.

The organizational structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department – DGRC reflects the Organization’s commitment to the issue, since the treatment and the integration of the three 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: 
 


The Organization constantly carries out considerable investments in activities related to Risk Management and Compliance, 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.

Additionally, the Risk Management and Compliance Department coordinates all the actions necessary to comply with the regulations issued by the Brazilian Central Bank, as regards the New Capital Accord (Basel II). These works are directed by an Executive Committee designated by the Board of Directors, under the coordination of the Organization’s CEO.

The Department also has as attribution the responsibility for the compliance with the Resolutions 2,554 (Internal Control) and 3,380 (Operating Risk) of the Brazilian Central Bank, and with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 404.

143



Risk Management Process 
 

Bradesco approaches the management of all the risks inherent to its activities in an integrated manner, based on the support from its Internal Controls and Compliance structure. This multi-disciplinary view allows the improvement of its risk management models, avoiding gaps that could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment.


Credit Risk Management 
 

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

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 concession models and credit recovery, 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 quality and performance of the credit portfolio, both in terms of results and solidity, to various past and future scenarios.

We also point out the following actions and events:

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

– 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;

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

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

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

144



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

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

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

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

Operating 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.

The operating 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 operating risk management. We point out that we are under the conditions to meeting the guidelines enacted by the New Capital Basel Accord and to the schedule set forth by the Brazilian Central Bank, by means of Notice #12,746, issued in December 2004.

The Brazilian Central Bank published, on June 29, 2006 the Resolution no. 3,380 which provides for the implementation of the operational risk management structure. Since 2003, the Bank is aligned with the requirements comprised in this Resolution.

In December 2006, we took part in an impact study specific of Operating Risk requested by the Brazilian Central Bank, with reference-date of 2005. This study contemplated the calculations referring to the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), the Alternative Standardized Approach (ASA), and the one called Aggregated Alternative Approach, provided for in the New Capital Agreement, paragraph 652, footnote 97. That consists in the segregation of the products into only two lines of businesses, over which coefficients of 15% and 18% are applied, therefore resulting in alterations in the composition of the gross result.

We show below the results obtained with these methods of capital allocation and we emphasize that the Alternative Standardized method requires a lower capital allocation when compared to the other ones.

Participation among Approaches in the Calculation of Capital Allocation for Operating Risk (*)
 

Approach    1st Quarter of 2007 
   
Basic Indicator (BIA)   100.00% 
Standardized (STA)   90.9% 
Alternative Standardized (ASA)   44.1% 
Alternative Standardized 2 (ASA 2)   47.3% 

(*) Calculated according to the Brazilian Central Bank criteria, considering the Financial Consolidated.

145



In 2006, the process of reviewing the record of events of the companies that comprise the Insurance Group was concluded. That process resulted in the opening of specific accounting items, focusing on improving the records, the knowledge and the analysis of loss events related to operating risk, in compliance with the same standardization adopted for the Bank and for financial companies connected.

This effort aims at the synergy and rationalization of resources, for the convergence of implementation of concepts of Basel II and Solvability II, focused on the development of the advanced (operating losses) and intermediate (based on gross result) methodology, unifying the criteria within Bradesco Organization, in conformity with Resolution no. 3,380 in what concerns the financial economic consolidated statement.

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

When determining the regulatory capital for Operating Risk, we use the Loss Distribution Approach methodology (LDA), which comprises the estimate of distribution of severity (loss amount), frequency (number of loss events) and the calculation of VaR (Value at Risk), considering a trust level of 99.9% .

That methodology allows the measuring of the expected loss (EL), not only in compliance with Basel II rules, but also in assistance, with statistical focus, for the establishment of necessary provisions for possible operating losses. The losses not classified as expected (EL), i.e., the unexpected losses (UL) are calculated by the difference obtained between the expected loss and the VaR measure, which will be reflected on future capital allocations.

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

Market Risk Management 
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Management of Internal Controls and Compliance 
 

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, classifying, assessing and 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, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that Organização Bradesco’s 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 foreign 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 a technical nature, criteria and procedures related to internal controls and compliance; that area reports directly to our Chief Executive Officer, and supplies periodical status reports to the Internal Controls and Compliance and Audit Committees and to the Board of Directors.

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

– The internal control structure implemented was built based on 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

147



adheres to the 13 Basel Internal Control Principles. That structure strengthens the ongoing improvement of the process used to identify and assess controls and mitigate risks, including those related to the preparation of the financial and accounting statements, contemplated in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

– Our Compliance Agents are 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;


– SPB Management – Brazilian Payment System has the purpose of ensuring the execution of the messages among the Banks of the Organization and all the entities participating in this system.

The activity is supported by monitoring tools of the Organization’s information systems, combined with the continuous training and professional qualification, with the purpose of ensuring full operationality and availability of the system. Additionally, the Organization has a PCN – Business Continuity Plan for SPB, documented in a specific tool and with corporate access, comprising predefined scenarios and actions, which enable the reduction of systemic unavailability risk. The areas involved in the process also count on a physical environment located in Alphaville, for operational continuity of the SPB processes, in the occurrence of a possible claim (fire, landslide, strike, etc.), in the facilities of the Headquarters or of Nova Central, which hinder the performance of activities. PCN – SPB is continuously tested and the evidences are published in standard reports disclosed in our Corporate Intranet.

– Measures preventing and combating Money “Laundering” observe the best market practices and are based on the policy “Conheça seu Cliente” (Know your Client). 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 avoiding 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.

148



– Information Security Management, consolidated in the Security Policy, is designed to protect client and corporate information. Bradesco Organization has a formal structure, with specific objectives and responsibilities, for defining, maintaining and improving information security in the corporate environment, which is based on the Corporate Information Security Policy and Standards approved by the Executive Information Security Committee. The following policies are adopted in relation to client information:

Liquidity Risk Management 
 

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

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

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

Capital Risk Management 
 

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

Loan Policy 
 

The Organization's Loan Policy complies with resolutions of the Board of Executive Officers and Brazilian Central Bank, besides guiding their actions by goals of security, quality, liquidity and diversification in the assets utilization.

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

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

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

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

150



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 Branches (Prime, Private, Varejo (Retail) and Empresas (Middle Market)) and by the Departments (Corporate and Exchange), including External Branches, previously analyzed and with opinion of the Loan Department.

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


Methodology Used for Loan Portfolio and Client Classification 
 

The credit risk assessment methodology, besides delivering data to establish minimum parameters in the loan granting and risk management, also enables to define 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.

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

Classification – Corporate 
 

Rating    Bradesco    % Provision    Concept 
       
AA    Excellent    0.0    Premium clients, with size, tradition and market leadership, with excellent reputation and 
      economic and financial position. 
       
  Very good    0.5    Clients with size, sound economic and financial position, operating in markets with good 
      prospects and/or potential for expansion. 
       
  Good    1.0    Clients, which, regardless of size, have a good economic and financial position. 
       
  Acceptable    3.0    Clients with a satisfactory economic and financial position but with performance sensitive to 
      economic scenario variations. 
       
  Fair    10.0    Clients with economic and financial position in decline or unsatisfactory accounting 
      information, under risk management. 
       
  Deficient    30.0    Loan operations with some expectation of not being paid or in default, classified under the possibility of loss. 
     
  Bad    50.0   
     
  Critical    70.0   
     
  Uncollectible    100.0   

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

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 3 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, reduces costs and operating risks.

The funding for the foreign trade financing is obtained with the international financial community, by means of credit lines from correspondent banks abroad. At the end of the 1st quarter of 2007, 73 banks, especially U.S., European and Asian Banks had extended credit lines to Bradesco.

Methodology for Mapping and Documentation 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 production resources, such as practices recommended for decreasing costs, Bradesco adopts the Activity-Based Costing System – ABC, which measures the cost and performance of its activities, resources and cost centers.

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.

167



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 adopts 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 79 thousand system users will be 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.

Equator Principles 
 

Since 2004, Bradesco is a signatory of the Equator Principles, a set of social-environmental measures based on criteria defined by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), used in the evaluation and concession of financing of infrastructure projects under the Project Finance category.

In July 2006, Bradesco ratified its adhesion to the new version of Equator Principles, which comprises all project financings – new or expansion ones, including its assistance, with total capital cost higher or equal to US$10 million. The adoption of these principles is voluntary, with no dependence or support of IFC or the World Bank. Thus, the institutions which will adopt them must take them as basis for the development of practices and internal and individual credit 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 
 

On 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 
 

In 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.

Launch of the English and Spanish versions of the Social-environmental Responsibility website 
 

With a view to attending all its stakeholders in Brazil and abroad, Bradesco launched English and Spanish versions of its Social-environmental Responsibility website. Besides Bovespa, Bradesco’s shares are also currently traded in New York and Madrid Stock Exchanges. Thus, the website is an important tool for building an increasingly positive relationship between the Bank and the market.

Launched in September 2006, the Social-environmental Responsibility website is a result of months of work and of the effective interaction among several areas, departments and suppliers. It brings a detailed outlook of the Organization’s operation in all the segments of the social-environmental responsibility, showing a Bradesco beyond leadership, pioneer in technology and innovation in the offer of products, services and financial solutions.

Creation of the Programa EcoFinanciamento de Veículos Bradesco (Vehicle EcoFinancing Program)
 

Through a new partnership entered into with Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, Bradesco created the EcoFinanciamento de Veículos ( Vehicle EcoFinancing) Program. The initiative contributes for the development of Florestas do Futuro (Forests of the Future) program, aimed at the recovery of riparian forest areas in the Atlantic Rainforest. For each vehicle financed, by means of CDC or Leasing, tree seedlings are planted, aiming at reducing the effects of carbon emission in the atmosphere.

Implemented by Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica in 2004, the Florestas do Futuro Program aims at the reforestation of areas that used to integrate the Atlantic Rainforest zone in the past. Since its creation, more than 455 thousand of native tree seedlings have been planted. The areas of Bradesco Capitalization and Cards are also partners of SOS Mata Atlântica in similar projects, reaffirming Bradesco’s vocation of contributing permanently for the Brazilian economical, environmental and social potentials, in a balanced and responsible manner.

Bradesco Suppliers Meeting 
 

In 2006, Bradesco carried out two events with representatives of more than 100 suppliers of products and services from several different segments – from furniture to security companies – in order to disseminate the Organization’s commitment to the adoption of actions linked to social-environmental responsibility.

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 May.

Bovespa’s Social Stock Exchange Program 
 


Aiming at the social inclusion, Bradesco collaborates with the Social Stock Exchange Program. The purpose of the initiative, launched in 2003 by BOVESPA and its brokers, is put together representatives of the Third Sector that need financial resources for its projects and investors willing to provide these resources. The program was acknowledged by UNESCO – United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – as the first one in the world.

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 four basements totally refurbished and adapted, aiming at complying with all the specifications and rules required for the referred certificates.

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.

172


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) Program for the Neutralization of Carbon Emissions

With a view to neutralizing the 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 effort in the medium term.

Initially, the environmental impact caused by the Organization will be offset by the planting of 37.2 thousand trees (in partnership with 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.

2) 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 permanent research of 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 articles about the rational use of electricity and water.

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 the ligths in non-used areas and using natural light have been encouraged.

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

In addition, in 200 lampposts installed on the streets of Cidade de Deus, 80% of 255 mercury lamps were replaced by sodium steam lamps. During the last 3 years, approximately 30 thousand 40 Watts lamps have been replaced by 32 Watts, reducing 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.

173


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.

3) Solid Residues Destination

a. Paper and Cardboard

Currently, approximately 100 tons of paper and cardboard are collected monthly in some of our administrative centers, which are submitted to a selective process. 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 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 1Q07, approximately 400 kilograms 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. 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.

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 1Q07, approximately 3 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.

4) 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 implemented gradually in our Organization. The option to use recycled paper was made after long negotiations with suppliers, and even if it does not mean cost optimization, the beneficial result for the environment 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, business cards and statements distributed to clients and check books. Currently, nearly 90% of the paper consumed monthly is recycled.

174


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 50 types of toner cartridges composing the consumption list, 31 are remanufactured products. With the constant renovation of the printing facility, an increase in the use of remanufactured cartridges is expected.

c. Certified Wood

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

In 2006, 100 cubic meters of wood were used at the headquarters and administrative buildings for maintenance and small works, 60% of the services were executed with wood coming from reforestation and with a sustainable management.

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 
 

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 Specialists’ Centers, in volleyball and basketball.

Most of these girls come from deprived backgrounds considered to be in a social risk situation.

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.

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.

175


Bradesco Organization and the Social-environmental Responsibility
 

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, to 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.

Social-cultural Events 
 

Bradesco once more started the year supporting and sponsoring several social-cultural events in different locations in the Country. It took part in the Summer Festival and the Carnival of Salvador (BA), in the carnivals of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Olinda (PE), in the musical event Planeta Atlântida, in Capão da Canoa (RS) and Florianópolis (SC), in the Brazilian Symphonic Orchestra, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), in the II Chamber Music Festival, in Icó and Iguatu (CE), in the National Grape Party, of Caxias do Sul (RS) and in the National Wine Festival (Fenavinho), in Bento Gonçalves (RS).

It also took part in the Coopavel Rural Show, in Cascavel (PR), in the Agriculture and Cattle Raising Exhibition (Expogrande) of Campo Grande (MS) and in the Expodireto Cotrijal Agronegócio (Agribusiness Exhibition), of Não-Me-Toque (RS).

The Organization was directly involved in the sponsorship of great cultural events that started in the 1st quarter, with the exhibition Da Vinci A Exibição de um Gênio, and the exhibition, that are occurring simultaneously at Oca, in Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo (SP). Da Vinci – A Exibição de um Gênio relies on Bradesco’s sponsorship and on the educational support of Fundação Bradesco. The Corpo Humano – Real e Fascinante exhibition also has the educational support of Fundação Bradesco. The mega production My Fair Lady, masterpiece of world theatre and the best musical comedy in the Broadway history, performed in São Paulo (SP), has Bradesco Prime’s exclusive sponsorship.

Bradesco Seguros e Previdência was one of the sponsors of the I Life and Insurance Forum, promoted By Sincor-SP, in São Paulo (SP).

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.

176


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.

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 high 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 achievement of 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 
 

Searching for what is best done in the worldwide level, we achieved the certification of Rule OHSAS 18001 of Occupational Safety and Health that allows establishing and developing conditions that contribute to a safe and healthy work environment.

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 1Q07, Banco Bradesco received the Rule SA 8000®:2001 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 was recommended to Banco Bradesco by the Certifying Organism DNV – Det Norske Veritas, in the management of the human resources that operate 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, which in the future will result in the expansion of the certification scope 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, remuneration, professional development opportunities, 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. A proof to that 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. In March 2007, 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 this year 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.

We strongly invest in our in-house communication so that our employees are effective participants of the Organization’s expansion strategy of results.

Simultaneously and from any location in the country, Bradesco’s employees receive key information via Intranet and e-mail.

The Organization makes available, day to day, the newsletter Sempre em Dia (Always Updated), with issues about the Bank’s strategic direction, launch of products, quality practices and business focus.

Brochures and magazines are periodically published and addressed to each employee.

Produced according to the best quality standards, the editions in video of Bradesco TV approach, monthly, institutional messages and technical guidance. Created in 1990, Bradesco TV is one of the country’s oldest corporate television projects.

The annual goals and strategies are disclosed at meetings with the Presidency, where Directors, Regional Managers, Managers of Branches and Departments of the Organization take part. All the issues are referred to respective teams.

With the purpose of making the communication between the Human Resources Department and the staff closer, more energetic and transparent, we have created ALÔ RH, an effective and fast communication channel that guides about benefits, legislation, policies and practices of human resources, in addition to responding to suggestions and complaints, with the option of anonymity, ensuring complete secrecy.

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 also currently records 24 thousand employees’ profiles in this process.

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.

Believing in people, understanding and welcoming differences are pioneering values present throughout Bradesco’s history, making it a Bank that works towards being more and more a development agent, for which the people are in the core of everything.

The issue is broadly supported in the Code of Ethics and Social-environmental Policy of the Organization.

Occupational Health and Safety Policies 
 

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

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.

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.

In 2006, we conquered the certification of Rule OHSAS 18001, internationally recognized, which establishes an Occupational Safety and Health System Management.

These programs benefit youngsters in the beginning of their careers, with qualification, social inclusion, as well as personal and professional development. Also under this context, Bradesco developed preparatory training in Libras (the sign language for deaf-mute people), for employees providing direct services to disabled clients, in order to guarantee this public accessibility to our Branches.

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.

Objectives and Goals 
 

Through the pioneer action of private social investment, the main mission of Fundação Bradesco is to provide formal quality education to children, young people and adults, so that they achieve personal fulfillment through their work and 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. Distance learning is also offered as part of the Youth and Adult Basic Education Equivalency programs via Tele-education and the Virtual Classroom site.

192


Areas and Methods of Action 
 

Basic Education 
 

Basic Education comprises the Kindergarten, Elementary School (first to ninth grades) and High School, comprising more than 43.2% of all students on courses provided on a free basis by Fundação Bradesco each year. 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 interactions 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 above all 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.

193


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 
 

On March 18, all the school units of Fundação Bradesco promoted for the 5th year running the “National Day of Voluntary Action”. Over 1.6 million services were provided in its 40 schools and in other locations near the Institution’s units. Compared to last year, the number of services grew by 65%.

The number of volunteers has also grown, from 21 thousand people in 2006 to 27.5 thousand this year. In every location over 140 types of free activities were carried out, benefiting directly needy people who do not have access to a series of basic services in their daily lives.

Over two thousand employees of Bradesco Organization from all across the Country gave their contribution as volunteers in the activities. Before the event, employees of the Headquarters, Alphaville Nucleus and Administrative Building on Avenida Paulista rallied in their departments to collect donations, which resulted in tons of food, cleaning products, electrical appliances, disposable diapers, mattresses, school supplies, wheelchairs, among others.

The donations were sent to 88 registered institutions such as daycare centers, orphanages, retirement homes and institutions that shelter needy people. In every region of the Country, the Organization’s employees from the cities where the Foundation Schools are located took active part in the Volunteering Day.

Bradesco sponsored the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci – A exibição de um Gênio, at Oca in Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo. With Fundação Bradesco’s educational support, the exhibit contemplates Leonardo da Vinci’s (1452-1519) creative essence, in all aspects of its legacy. In view of the limited number of existing originals and the strict legislation that restrains their circulation, all the works were conceived on Italian ground, by a group of European craftsmen and specialists coordinated by Modesto Veccia, chairman of the Anthropos Foundation and a world reference in the research on daVincean legacy.

Also with educational support by Fundação Bradesco, the Exhibition Corpo Humano: Real e Fascinante opened at Oca in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo.

The exhibit resorts to 16 bodies and 225 organs to reveal – in all its aspects – the functioning of the human body and its systems, from a special and novel standpoint. Developed under a primarily educational approach, “Corpo Humano: Real e Fascinante” also stimulates interactivity, as there are sectors where the audience can touch real internal organs – thus far, an unimaginable experience for the absolute majority of individuals.

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 Jardim Padroeira in Osasco, at São Geraldo Monastery in São Paulo, and at Universidade Federal do Amazonas in Manaus, totaling 51 units. It is a joint project between the Foundation and companies in the technology sector, aiming at 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.

Management Report 
 

Dear Stockholders,

We are pleased to present the Financial Statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. and consolidated companies for the quarter ended on March 31, 2007, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law.

At the Bradesco Organization, among the material events of the period, the most outstanding were:

In the quarter, Bradesco recorded a Net Income of R$1.705 billion, equivalent to R$0.85 per share, and an annualized profitability of 28.90% on the final Stockholders’ Equity and of 30.16% on the average Stockholders’ Equity. The annualized return on Total Assets was 2.44% as compared to 2.86% in the same period of the previous year.

Due to the main activities carried out by Bradesco Organization, taxes and contributions in the period, including paid or accrued pension taxes and contributions, totaled R$1.733 billion, 101.64% of the Net Income.

The control of administrative expenses, together with the permanent effort for increasing revenues, has contributed, over the periods, to the improvement in the year-to-date Operating Efficiency Ratio – IEO, from 44.14% in March 2006 to 42.09% on March 31, 2007.

At the end of the quarter, the paid-up Capital Stock was R$18 billion, which includes the R$3.800 billion increase, with 100% stock bonus, by using part of the “Income Reserve – Statutory Reserve” account, as per resolution in the Special Stockholders’ Meeting held on March 12 and ratification by the Brazilian Central Bank on March 15. Added to Equity Reserves of R$8.029 billion, it comprised the Stockholders’ Equity of R$26.029 billion, with an evolution of 27.75% when compared to the same period of the previous year, corresponding to the equity value of R$13.01 per stock.

The Managed Stockholders’ Equity corresponds to 9.25% of the consolidated Assets, which added up to R$281.944 billion, a 30.29% increase over March/2006. Thus, the capital adequacy ratios reached 17.76% in the financial consolidated and 15.74% in the economic-financial consolidated, therefore higher than the minimum of 11% set forth by Resolution 2,099, as of 8.17.1994, of the National Monetary Council, in accordance with the Basel Committee. At the end of the quarter, the stockholders' equity to fixed assets ratio, compared to the Consolidated Reference Stockholders’ Equity, was 49.23% in the financial consolidated and 11.45% in the economic-financial consolidated, thus placed within the maximum limit of 50%.

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.

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, the Foundation 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, the Foundation 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.

It is worth pointing out Bradesco’s support to Finasa Esportes Project, with 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.

In the Human Resources area, Bradesco maintains its intense training program, aimed at the staff ’s qualification and professional development, with increasingly more positive results in the evolution of assistance and efficiency of services provided. In the period, 534 courses were conducted, with 173,448 participations. The assistance benefits aimed at the improvement of the quality of life, well being and safety of the employees and their dependents comprised 176,050 lives at the end of the quarter.

It is worth pointing out that Bradesco is the first financial institution of the Americas to receive Rule SA 8000, 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.

The results accomplished reflect Bradesco’s efforts to exceed expectations and always offer the best. In view of the success reached, we 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, Bradesco carried out the following operations in the three-month period ended on March 31, 2007:

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, reduced 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 (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 provisions for insurance, supplementary pension plans and certificated savings plans and the determination of the useful economic 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.

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 exists 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.

219


d) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

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

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

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 chance, pursuant to CMN Resolution no. 2,682, the operation may be reclassified to a lower risk category.

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

f) 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 pension plan activities”.

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.

220


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 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 related effects recognized in income for the period.

The exchange membership certificates of Stock Exchanges, the Custody and Settlement Chamber (Cetip) and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) are recorded at their unaudited book values, informed by the corresponding exchanges, and fiscal incentives and other investments 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 charges

Deferred charges 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, had an amortization of 10% to 20% per annum and was recorded in deferred assets, until June 30, 2006.

Goodwill was reviewed by the Management Bodies and was fully amortized in 3Q06, as mentioned in Note 15a.

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. 120/2004.

• 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 calculations, 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.

221


– “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 health” 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 supplementary pension 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).

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 financial statements (Note 18a);

• Contingent Liabilities: They are established taking into consideration the opinion of the legal advisors; the nature of the lawsuits; similarity with previous processes; complexity; and, in the 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 and disclosure (Notes 18b and 18c);

• 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 Brazilian Central Bank’s 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)     
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 March 31, 2007;
(5)     
The number of days to maturity was based on the maturity of the securities, regardless of their accounting classification;
(6)     
This column reflects book value subsequent to mark-to-market, except for securities held to maturity, whose market value is higher than the restated cost value in the amount of R$1,103,877 thousand (December 31, 2006 – R$998,798 thousand and March 31, 2006 – R$965,701 thousand); and
(7)     
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 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$1,161,041 thousand (December 31, 2006 – R$1,157,601 thousand and March 31, 2006 – R$1,066,514 thousand) based on appraisal reports prepared by independent experts in 2007, 2006 and 2005.

The fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio, in relation to “consolidated” reference stockholders’ equity is 11.45% (December 31, 2006 – 12.23% and March 31, 2006 13.94%), on the “consolidated financial” basis it is 49.23% (December 31, 2006 – 48.01% and March 31, 2006 – 42.62%), within the maximum 50% limit.

The difference between the fixed assets to stockholders’ equity ratio of the “consolidated” and of the “consolidated financial” 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 “consolidated financial”. 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.

(2) These consist of funds obtained from banks abroad, from the issuance of notes in the international market and under National Monetary Council (CMN) Resolution no. 2770 for: 
       (i) onlending to local customers, maturing until 2011, under terms which do not exceed those of the funds obtained, with interest payable at libor, plus a spread or prefixed interest; and

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, however, there are proceedings whose perspective of success is probable. The main ones are:

– Tax on Net Income – (ILL) R$350,047 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$101,822 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.

255


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 in the 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$1,167,922 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$1,070,325 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$446,082 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 article 195, I, of the Federal Constitution provides for that this contribution is only due by employers;

– INSS Autonomous Brokers – R$482,558 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$546,687 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$243,445 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$113,882 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 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. The process was ratified by Bacen on March 15, 2007.

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, to preferred stocks, to become effective as from the Interest referring to March 2007, and to be paid on 4.2.2007, benefiting the stockholders who are registered at the Company’s records as of 3.1.2007.

The stock 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$0.03605500 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.

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.

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.

Besides, 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, to sundry 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.

In the chart below, we show VaR as of March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006:

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

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management is designed to control the different unhedged settlement terms of the 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.

Its content is updated periodically and includes information on all major listed companies. The inclusion of companies in this report is directly related to their share liquidity. The companies are grouped under different sectors, facilitating a comparative analysis of their performance (share behavior and profitability) in their own activity segment and between the different sectors.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Track record: accumulated experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These statements are statements that are not historical facts, and are based on management's current view and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, company performance and financial results. The words "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "plans" and similar expressions, as they relate to the company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements regarding the declaration or payment of dividends, the implementation of principal operating and financing strategies and capital expenditure plans, the direction of future operations and the factors or trends affecting financial condition, liquidity or results of operations are examples of forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of management and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. There is no guarantee that the expected events, trends or results will actually occur. The statements are based on many assumptions and factors, including general economic and market conditions, industry conditions, and operating factors. Any changes in such assumptions or factors could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.
