Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Economic and Financial Analysis contains forward-looking statements relative to our business, which are based on managements current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends which could affect our business. Words such as: believes, anticipates, plans, expects, intends, aims, evaluates, predicts, foresees, projects, guidelines, should and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, however, do not guarantee future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, which could be beyond our control. Furthermore, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions which, depending on future events, may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, projections and intentions expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements.
Factors which could modify actual results include, among others, changes in regional, national and international commercial and economic conditions; inflation rates; increase in customer delinquency on the account of borrowers in loan operations, with the consequent increase in the allowance for loan losses; loss of funding capacity; loss of clients or revenues; our capacity to sustain and improve performance; changes in interest rates which could, among others, adversely affect our margins; competition in the banking sector, in financial services, credit card services, insurance, asset management and other related sectors; government regulations and fiscal matters; disputes or adverse legal proceedings or ruling; as well as credit risks and other loan and investment activity risks.
Accordingly, the reader should not place excessive reliance on these forward-looking statements. These statements are valid only as of the date they were prepared. Except as required under applicable legislation, we assume no obligation whatsoever to update these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other motive.
Risk Factors and Critical Accounting Practices
To assure Bradescos commitment 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 measuring of these risks.
Risks Relating to Brazil
1) Brazilian political and economic conditions have direct impact on our business and on the market value of our stocks and ADSs
All of our operations and clients are mainly located in Brazil. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on the Brazilian economy, which in the past has been characterized both by frequent intervention of the Brazilian Government and volatile economic cycles. In addition, our financial condition and the market value of our stocks and ADSs may also be adversely affected by changes in policies involving exchange and tax controls, as well as factors such as: fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, inflation rates and other political, diplomatic, social and economic events inside and outside Brazil that affect the country.
We cannot control or predict which measures or policies the Brazilian Government may take in response to the current or future situation of the Brazilian economy or how these measures or policies may affect the Brazilian economy and, both directly and indirectly, our operations and revenues.
2) If Brazil undergoes a period of high inflation in the future, our revenues and the market value of our stocks and ADSs may be reduced
In the last 15 years, Brazil has faced periods of extremely high inflation rates, with extremely high annual rates (IGP DI from Fundação Getulio Vargas) reaching, like in 1993, 2,708%. More recently, Brazils inflation rates were 1.2% in 2005, 3.8% in 2006 and 7.9% in 2007. Inflation and governmental measures to combat it have had in past years significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. In addition, public speculation about possible future measures has also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets. If Brazil suffers a period of high inflation in the future, our costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investors confidence lags, the price of our stocks and ADSs may drop. Inflationary pressures may curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and may occasionally lead to further government interventions in the economy, including the implementation of policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.
3) Access to international capital markets by Brazilian companies is influenced by the perception of risk in emerging economies which may harm our ability to finance our operations
The market of securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil and, at different levels, by the market conditions in other Latin American countries and other emerging countries. Although economic conditions in these countries may significantly differ from the Brazilian economic conditions, the investors reaction to events in these countries may have an adverse effect on the market value of the Brazilian companies securities. Crises in other emerging countries or economic policies in other countries, especially in the United States and European Union countries, may reduce the demand of investors for Brazilian companies securities, including ours. Any of the events described above may negatively affect the market price of our stocks and make harder, or even prevent, our access to capital markets and our financing in future operations in acceptable conditions.
II
4) Developments in other emerging markets may adversely affect the market value of our stocks and ADSs
The market value of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected by declines in the international financial markets and world economic conditions. The Brazilian securities market is influenced by the local and other emerging countries economy, especially those in Latin America. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors reaction to developments in one country may affect the securities markets and the securities issued in other countries, including Brazil.
Occasionally, developments in other countries have adversely affected the market value of our and other Brazilian companies stocks, as investors high risk perception due to 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 Latin America deteriorates, or if similar developments occur in the international financial markets in the future, the market value of our stocks and ADSs may be adversely affected.
Risks Relating to Bradesco and the Brazilian Banking and Insurance Industries
1) The Brazilian Government regulates the operations of Brazilian banks and insurance companies, and changes in prevailing laws and regulations or the imposition of new ones may adversely affect our operations and results
Brazilian banks and insurance companies are subject to extensive and continuous regulatory review by the Brazilian Government. We have no control over government regulations, which govern all facets of our operations, including the imposition of minimum reference equity and capital requirements, compulsory deposits, loan limits and other loan restrictions.
The regulatory structure governing Brazilian banks and insurance companies is continuously evolving, and the laws and regulations could be amended. Besides, the enforcement or interpretation of laws and regulations could change, and new laws and regulations could be adopted. Such changes could materially affect in a negative manner our operations and our results.
Regulatory changes affecting other businesses in which we are engaged, including our broker dealer, consortium and leasing operations, could also have an adverse effect on our operations and our results.
2) The increasingly competitive environment in the Brazilian banking 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 the foreign investment opportunity.
Furthermore, additional publicly-owned banks and insurance companies may be privatized in the future. The acquisition of a bank or insurance company in a privatization process by one of our competitors would generally add to the acquirers market share, and as a result we may face increased competition from the acquirer.
3) Some of our common stocks are held by two stockholders, whose interests may conflict with other investors interests
On December 31, 2007 Cidade de Deus Companhia Comercial de Participações held 48.22% of our common stocks and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 48.22% of our common stocks. As a result, these stockholders have the power to prevent a change in control of our company, even if a transaction of that nature would be beneficial to our other stockholders, as well as to approve related-party transactions or corporate reorganizations, which may not be beneficial to our other stockholders.
III
Critical Accounting Practices
Bradescos results are susceptible to accounting policies, assumptions and estimates. It is incumbent upon the Management to adopt proper accounting policies and provide reasonable and suitable judgments and estimates when preparing the financial statements.
Our relevant accounting policies are outlined in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in chapter 8 of this Report.
In terms of materiality, the following 5 items outline the accounting policies deemed as critical, as well as areas requiring a greater judgment and estimate or involving a higher level of complexity, which may affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. The accounting estimates made under such context impel us to make assumptions on highly uncertain issues. In each case, if we had made other estimates, or if changes in estimates had occurred period by period, these could have significantly impacted our financial condition or the results of our operations:
1) Allowance for Loan Losses
We periodically adjust our allowance for loan losses, which include leasing operations and other operations with loan characteristic, based on the analysis of our portfolio, including probable losses estimate in these segments at the end of each period.
The determination of allowance for loan losses amount by its nature requires us to make judgments and assumptions related to our loan operations portfolio, not only on an individual basis, but also on a portfolio basis. When we revise our portfolio as a whole, various factors may affect our estimate of probable extension of losses, including the methodology we use to measure historical rates of delinquency and the historical period we take into account in such measurements. When we revise loan operations on an individual basis, we make judgments related to the factors, which most probably should affect the risk levels and which specific credit rating we should attribute. Additional factors, which may affect our determination of allowance for loan losses include:
general economic conditions in Brazil and conditions of relevant sector;
previous experience with borrower or relevant sector of economy, including losses recent experience;
credit quality trends;
guarantees amounts and quality of a loan operation;
volume, composition and growth of our loan operations portfolio;
Brazilian Governments 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 December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses would increase approximately R$50 million. Such sensitivity analysis is hypothetical and intends to illustrate the risk rating and loss severity impact on our allowance 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) Classification of Securities and Derivatives
The classification of securities occurs in three categories: for trading, available for sale and held to maturity. This classification is based on the Managements 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.
IV
3) Assessment of Securities and Derivatives
The financial instruments recorded at fair value in our financial statements mainly include securities classified as for trading, available for sale and other trading assets, including derivatives. The fair value is defined as the value in which a position could be closed or sold in a transaction with a party aware of the issue and willing to trade, without any benefit.
We estimate the fair value by using market-quoted prices when available. We observe that the fair value may be affected by the volume of stocks traded and also may not reflect the control premiums resulting from stockholder agreements, those holding significant investments. However, the Management believes that market-quoted prices are the fair value best indicators.
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 and options volatility, when these are relevant and available.
In the determination of fair value, when market-quoted prices are not available, we have the Managements 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.
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. Generally, our assessment requires us to estimate the future values of deferred tax assets and taxes on income. 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 Bradescos 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 and contributions; the assumptions for the calculation of allowance for loan losses; the assumptions for calculations of technical provisions for insurance, private pension plans and certificated savings plans; the choice of useful lives of certain assets; and the determination of whether an asset or group of specific assets was deteriorated. The estimates are based on the judgment and available information. Therefore, effective results may differ from such estimates.
V
Commercial Strategy
We understand that the expansion of the Brazilian economy, jointly with a strong growth of the Brazilian population, will increase the demand for our products services. Under such context, our main objective is to maintain the focus on the domestic market and take advantage of our position as the largest private bank in Brazil, to expand profitability, maximize value to our stockholders and generate higher returns compared to other Brazilian financial institutions.
We intend to achieve such goals with a strategy not only to continuously expand our customer base, but also to consolidate our role as the priority bank of each of our clients, so that to be their first option towards their financial services needs. Our goal is to be a Banco Completo (All-inclusive Bank) in the Brazilian market. In this regard, we strive to maintain a remarkable presence in every line of financial services.
In the banking segment, we aim at rendering the most varied range of services as a retail bank, supported by a staff with more than 82 thousand employees, a wide Service Network, including our Branches, Corporate Site Branches, Banco Postal and Bradesco Expresso (Correspondent Banks), besides the ATMs (Own, Banco24Horas and sharing of the Network with Banco do Brasil), always concerned with the expansion of business volume. We are also focused on expanding our businesses as a wholesale bank in all its aspects (investment bank and corporate business) and expand our private banking business.
In the insurance segment, we intend to consolidate Bradesco Seguros e Previdência leadership, and in relation to the supplementary private pension segment, we intend to take advantage of our ongoing expansion of demand for our private pension products.
In every line of our operation, we intend to stand out and be recognized by our clients as leaders in terms of performance and efficiency.
We understand that the essence of business success in the financial sector consists of the combination between winning the client and a team highly qualified and devoted to the rendering of services, permanently trained and with rigid discipline standards at work. Our growth plans are not only translated into seeking the addition of new clients but are also focused on the frequent improvement of products/services and distribution channels. It is fundamental to promote the business, the treatment given to our team in terms of qualification, promotion and creation of a solidarity culture at work, with a view to fomenting an environment where our employees may develop a career enduring during their entire professional life.
Finally, the main component of our philosophy is to conduct the business according to the highest ethical standards. Therefore, our strategy is always guided by seeking the best Corporate Governance and sustainability practices.
The key elements of our business strategy are:
to search for convergence of business goals with social-environmental responsibility aspects;
expansion by means of organic growth;
performance based on the Bank-Insurance Model, which is a business model of a large banking institution, having as subsidiary an important insurance company, with a view to maintaining our profitability and consolidating our
leadership in the insurance industry;
increase of revenues, profitability and value to our stockholders, by consolidating our loan operations, our main activities 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 products/services distribution, by using creativity in developing new products/services, solidly employing
non-traditional means, for instance, expanding our credit cards offer and extension of loan granting to stores, by utilizing alliances with such stores and rendering services via Banco Postal;
VI
using the distribution channels in benefit of the Bank, including our traditional branch network and technology to access the Internet in order to identify demand for new products and services;
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 and services by clients, so that to drive them to the appropriate sale, delivery and commercialization platforms; and
developing varied products and services, 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 Bradescos 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 products and services and other financial activities in order to sell our traditional banking products and services and insurance and private pension products and services, by means of our branch network, our brokers and dealerships network, distribution services via Internet and our creativity in developing new distribution channels.
Concurrently, we aim at increasing profitability levels of insurance and supplementary private pension plans segments, by using the profitability measure rather than the volume of underwritten premiums 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 services; and
maintaining acceptable risk levels in our
operations by means of a strategy of:
3) Increased revenues from banking activities, profitability and value to stockholders, by reinforcing loan operations and expanding new products and services
We are concerned about the increase of revenues and profitability in our banking operations, with the following measures:
carrying out our traditional deposit-taking activities and loan operations, continuously seeking to improve the quality
of our loan portfolio, by means of risk mitigation plans and improvement in the assessment of loan granting ratings;
building our customer base, legal entities and individuals, by offering and products and services meeting the needs of
specific clients, including foreign exchange products and 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 and wealthy customer base, by providing a varied range of tailor-made financial products and services, and offering
maximum efficiency in asset management.
VII
4) To maintain Bradescos 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 Bradescos market leadership in the industry in terms of technology. Thus, Bradesco set a task force devoted to the advance of our profile and public perception towards technology.
We believe that technology offers unequalled opportunities to reach our clients efficiently in terms of costs and with satisfactory levels of security. We maintain the commitment of being ahead in the banking automation process, by creating opportunities for Brazilians to contact us via the Internet. We expect to continue increasing the number of clients and operations carried out through the Internet, by means of techniques, such as:
by continuously installing stations of
access to the Internet (Web Points) in public sites, allowing clients to use our banking system via the Internet, whether or not they have access to a personal computer;
by enlarging our mobile banking service (Bradesco Mobile Banking),
allowing clients to carry out their banking operations via the Internet, with compatible mobile phones; and
by providing Pocket Internet Banking for palmtops and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) allowing our clients to see their checking
and savings accounts, credit card transactions, provide for payments, transfer funds and also obtain institutional information.
5) To obtain profitability and return to stockholders by improving the efficiency ratio
We intend to improve our efficiency levels:
by maintaining the austerity as guideline for our cost control policy;
by consolidating the synergies enabled by our recent acquisitions;
by still reducing our operating costs, by means of technology investments, decreasing the costs per transaction, always maintaining our automated distribution channels updated, including our distribution systems by phone, Internet and teller
machines; and
by still incorporating institutions to be acquired in our existing system, in order to remove potential overlaps, redundancies and inefficiency.
6) To maintain acceptable risk levels in our operations
Bradesco is constantly identifying and assessing the risks inherent to the activities we developed and we maintain proper controls, ensuring the conformity of processes and capital efficient allocation, with a view to maintaining levels similar to international standards, as well as to obtain competitive advantages.
7) To enter into strategic alliances and selective acquisitions
We understand that the expansion phase of Brazilian financial institutions will occur due to the organic growth over the next years. In addition, we believe that acquisition opportunities will be smaller size institutions available. Notwithstanding, we deem that certain institutions, susceptible to be acquired, could present niche opportunities, such as consumer financing, credit cards and investment bank. Therefore, we continuously evaluate potential strategic alliances as well as consolidation opportunities, including privatization and acquisition 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 Stock Performance |
In 4Q07, Bradescos preferred stocks appreciated by 6.4% (adjusted by dividends), surpassing Ibovespas performance, which had a gain of 5.7% . In 2007, the accrued appreciation of Bradescos stocks was 32.9% (adjusted by dividends), whereas Ibovespas gain was 43.7% in the period.
The Brazilian stock market had a good performance until the beginning of the 2nd half, but concerns regarding subprime real estate loans in the United States and lately the economys performance affected the performance of the markets, especially the securities of the financial sector due to the decreased exposure of foreign investors to the sector, even those without exposure to subprime, such as Bradesco.

Bradescos Adjusted Net Income reached R$7,210 million in 2007, against R$6,363 million reached in 2006, which corresponds to a 13.3% increase. Stockholders Equity amounted to R$30,357 million on December 31, 2007, with a growth of 23.2% compared to the balance as of December 31, 2006. Accordingly, the Return on Average Stockholders Equity (ROAE) reached 28.3% (*). Total Assets added up to R$341,184 million at the end of December 31, 2007, growing 28.5% when compared to the balance of December 31, 2006. The annualized Return on Average Assets (ROAA) in 2007 was 2.4% . Earnings per stock reached R$3.57.
In 4Q07, the income was R$1,854 million, representing an increase of R$4 million or 0.2% when compared to the Net Income in 3Q07. The annualized Return on Average Stockholders Equity (ROAE) reached 29.4% (*) in the quarter and the Return on Average Assets (ROAA), in 4Q07, was 2.3% . Earnings per stock reached R$0.92.
4Q07 showed an increase in the income composing the Net Interest Income, in the amount of R$417 million, mainly composed of the result with interest, which reached R$5,229 million, a R$265 million increase (R$476 million related to business volume increase and R$211 million related to spread reduction). That increase is mainly due to the growth in business volume, particularly the 12.8% growth in the volume of loan operations for individual and corporate clients that was offset by the fall in the interest rates, which had a negative impact on the result of several Bradescos assets and liabilities which generate interest. Non-interest result amounted to R$768 million, an R$152 million increase when compared to 3Q07, mainly due to the higher gains with loan recovery and treasury.
In 4Q07, the allowance for doubtful accounts expenses was R$1,556 million, an increase of R$118 million when compared to the previous quarter. This variation is due to the growth of our loan portfolio and mainly to the growth in the operations with individual clients, which requires a higher provision volume due to its characteristic.
The Operating Efficiency Ratio in 2007 was 41.8%, which remained steady when compared to the ratio of the 12-month period ended on September 30, 2007, increased 0.3 percentage point when compared to 2006, principally as a result of the combination of strict expense control with permanent efforts for increase in revenue.
The Coverage Ratio in 2007 (fee and commission income)/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses) was 80.2% in December 2007, against 80.6% in the twelve-month period ended in September 30, 2007, and increased 4.8 percentage points when compared to the 75.4% of 2006.

Financial Market Indicators |
Analysis of Net Interest Income |
a) Net Interest Income Adjustment |
We show separately the hedge fiscal effect referring to investments abroad in the compared periods, which in terms of Net Income simply annuls the fiscal effect (IR/CS and PIS/Cofins) of this hedge strategy.
The fiscal effect is caused by the fact that 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 item, and in the Tax Expenses and Taxes on Income items, the respective taxes, as shown below:

In 2007, the net interest income reached R$22,300 million, a 12.4% increase on the R$19,838 million recorded in 2006. Quarter-over-quarter, the result in 4Q07 was R$5,997 million, representing a 7.5% increase over 3Q07. The analytical opening of the net interest income result among interest and non-interest results is shown below:

The interest net interest income in 2007 amounted to R$19,633 million against R$17,668 million recorded in the previous year, accounting for an increase of 11.1% or R$1,965 million. This variation had a strong impact due to the increase in the volume of operations, which positively contributed to the net interest income in R$4,147 million. This result more than offset the effect in the margin due to the decrease of spreads in the amount of R$2,182 million.
Comparing 4Q07 and 3Q07, the increase in interest net interest income amounted to R$265 million. This variation was positively impacted in R$476 million as a result of the increase in volumes, while the decrease in spreads had an adverse effect on the net interest income in R$211 million.

Among the main products which contributed to the increase in net interest income, related to the comparison between the quarters and between the years, the loan portfolio was the one which recorded greater increase reaching R$2,100 million in 2007 and R$184 million in the last quarter alone.
The increase in loan operations for individual clients was an important factor for the net interest income increase in the analyzed periods. The main products of the individual segment which contributed to the increase of the net interest income were payroll deductible loan operations, strengthened this year with the acquisition of Banco BMC, as well as vehicle financing operations, Private Label card operations, mainly in the revolving credit line and the material leasing product increase.
In relation to the loan operations for corporate clients, a strong growth mainly in micro, small and medium-sized companies operations is observed, due to the excellent strategic positioning of Banco Bradesco, which has shown a consistent growth in this business segment by means of its commercial actions and selling efforts. The products which contributed the most to the net interest income in the corporate segment were the working capital operations, guaranteed checking account and foreign exchange operations, i.e., mainly the lines related to the business flow.
It must be highlighted that in spite of the reduction in the margin of Funding and Insurance products throughout 2007, the business volume increase was an important factor to mitigate the drop of the Selic interest rates, which had a negative impact on spreads in these operations, and the quarterly comparison shows a lower growth in the margin of these products, since the Selic interest rate also had a lower growth among the periods.
In relation to TVM and Treasury operations, the increase presented in the comparison between the quarters and in 2006 and 2007 YTD reflects the good positioning of Bradescos portfolio.
Below, we can observe the interest net interest income comparing the quarterly history since 2006:
66
The annualized interest net interest income rate amounted to 8.5% in 4Q07, a slight decrease when compared to the 8.6% observed in the previous quarter. The increase in loan volumes and funding, as shown above, was essential to mitigate the effect of this decrease, as the accumulated CDI rate reached 11.8% in 2007, against the 15.0% rate in 2006.
It is worth pointing out, considering the growth in operations portfolios for individual clients, that the spreads in these operations are higher than those with corporate clients. They require, however, higher allowance for doubtful accounts, due to the higher delinquency level.
Quarter-over-quarter, the adjusted net interest income coming from non-interest results reached R$768 million in 4Q07 against R$616 million in the previous quarter when comparing 2007 and 2006, a growth of R$497 million is observed due to the higher loan recovery that increased R$245 million between 2006 and 2007 and higher treasury and TVM gains.

Classification of Securities by Segment in percentage |
N.B.: The composition of Securities Portfolio consolidated by issuer, maturity, business segment and category can be found in Note 8.
Loan Operations |
The consolidated balance of loan operations (according to the concept defined by Bacen which does not include debentures, guarantees, loans to be granted, credit letters, interbank deposit certificates etc.) reached at the end of 4Q07 a total of R$131.3 billion, representing a 12.8% increase in the quarter and a 36.5% growth in the year of 2007.
77
We highlight the increase of the loan portfolio of Bradesco Conglomerate in the quarter and in the last twelve months, which was influenced by the favorable macroeconomic and credit environment, characterized by salary raise, interest drop and extended terms for loans and financings. These factors promote the increase in consumption and in companys investments.
Loan Operations Total Portfolio |
In December 2007, the balance of loans and onlendings indexed and/or denominated in foreign currency (excluding ACCs) reached the total of U$6.8 billion, showing a growth of 10.8% in dollars and of 6.8% in reais in the quarter, due to the appreciation of this currency in the period, which caused a decrease in their interest in the total loan portfolio. In the year of 2007, the growth was 59.3% and 31.9%, respectively.
Real Estate Loan |
The balance of real estate financings at the end of 4Q07 was R$3.3 billion, a 68.1% increase when compared to December 2006, whereas in the year of 2007 the number of operations contracted showed a 107.9% growth when compared to the same period of 2006. Some actions carried out have been responsible for the portfolio performance in 2007, such as term extension of operations, and the creation of the website www.bradescoimoveis.com.br, aimed at rendering services to help those interested in the acquisition of their own house by means of partnerships with construction companies, developers and real estate agencies, which are clients of the Bank.
BNDES |
It is worth pointing out Bradescos leadership in BNDES onlending operations for the fifth consecutive year. Out of the total operations sold up to November 2007, 41.0% of the amount, representing 90.5% of contracts, were directed to SMEs, including operations carried out for individuals.
Rural |
It is worth pointing out the creation of the website www.bradescorural.com.br, aiming at subsiding this sector with information related to agribusinesses, products and credit services.
78
Loan Operations By Purpose |
The performance of the loan portfolio for individuals showed an upturn in the quarter and in the last twelve months of 8.5% and 35.0%, respectively. The main products responsible for the portfolio growth in these periods were the vehicles financing, personal loan and leasing.
Loan Operations Individual |
In the graph below, the types related to the consumer financing for individuals were considered (vehicles, personal loan, leasing, assets financing and credit card; in the latter, the amounts related to cash and credit purchases store owners and which are not in the total loan operations are included). The balance reached the amount of R$48.1 billion in December 2007, representing a 9.8% growth in the quarter and 36.4% in the last twelve months. We point out the vehicle financing and the payroll-deductible loans that are linked to payroll charges types, for its guarantees and characteristics, provided the portfolio with an adequate loan risk level. Thus, these two portfolios represented, at the end of 4Q07, 56.0% of the total consumer financing balance.
Loan Operations Consumer Financing |

The pace of the growth in loans granted to companies was significant in the quarter and in the last twelve months, increasing 16.0% and 37.5%, respectively.

Grupo Bradesco maintained an outstanding position among the main insurance companies in the Brazilian Basic Line (RE) Insurance Market, with an 8.1% share of total market sales in November 2007 in this area.
The improvement of investors trust in the solidity of the Brazilian economy and the consistent increase in the internal consumption reaffirm the scenario of increasing internal and external investments. In addition, the intention of the Government to improve the infrastructure (by means of Public and Private Partnerships PPPs) and investments for the enlargement of the settled industrial park are an excellent source of new businesses in the Great Risks area.
In Lines related to Equity Insurances, Bradesco Auto/RE has updated the insurance programs of its main clients, by means of partnerships with brokers specialized in the segment and closeness to Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas. The fact that the oil industry had an outstanding performance and the civil construction had picked up stream has also contributed to the growth of Bradesco Auto/RE in this segment.
In the insurance of Aeronautic products and Sea Hull, the exchange with managers of Bradesco Corporate and Empresas has been largely used, taking advantage of the market increase in the sales of new aircraft, as well as in the sea segment, of naval constructions.
The Transportation segment is still the main focus, with material investments to improve new businesses, specially, among others, the qualification of Managers of Transportation Products, which will be established in the main Brazilian economic centers, and the creation of Bradesco Cargo System, a complete Transports Insurance Management System in the Internet.
In the mass market insurance segment of Basic Lines, whose products are designed to individuals, self-employed professionals and SMEs, the launch of new products and continuous improvement of processes and systems has contributed to the growth of the client base, mainly in the residential and equity insurances, such as Bradesco Seguro Residencial and Bradesco Seguro Empresarial. We also highlight the new insurance line destined to support machinery and equipment that operate in expansion activities, such as agriculture, civil construction and industries: Bradesco Seguro Equipamentos, Bradesco Seguro Benfeitorias, Bradesco Seguro Penhor Rural Público and Bradesco Seguro Penhor Rural Privado. These products gained more competitiveness and a new issue process, enabling a faster quoting process and a better use of business opportunities.

In the Auto/RCF Lines, despite the strong competition, the Insurance Company has increased its client base, mainly due to the current products improvement and to the creation of products for specific publics, such as Bradesco Seguro Exclusivo Cliente Bradesco, for Banco Bradescos account holders, Auto Mulher, for the female public, and Auto Corretor, for insurance brokers. One of the positive factors is the maintenance perspective of the growth in sales of new vehicles, which contributes to increase the insurance production of this line.

The extensive nature and security associated with the Bradesco Brand name are added advantages for expanding consortium purchase plan sales.

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 4Q07, 83 groups were inaugurated and 33.6 thousand consortium quotas were sold. Until December 2007, we recorded total accumulated sales exceeding 334.1 thousand consortium quotas, achieving sales results in excess of R$10.8 billion and recording 151.3 thousand draws, with 114.6 thousand properties delivered and 1,778 active groups.

Risk Management and Compliance |
Credit Risks, Market Risks, Liquidity, Operational Risks, Internal Controls and Compliance |
Bradesco deems the risk management essential in all its activities, using it with the purpose of adding value to its business, to the extent this enables support to the business areas in the planning of their activities, maximizing the utilization of own funds and of third parties, in benefit of stockholders and the company.
We also understand that the risk management activity is greatly relevant, due to the growing complexity of services and products offered by the Organization, and also in view of the globalization of its business. Therefore, Bradesco is constantly improving its risk management-related activities, in pursuit of the best internationally used practices, however duly adjusted to Brazils reality.
The Organization carries out considerable investments in activities related to risk management process, 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.
147
Corporate Governance |
In the wide sense, the Corporate Governance process represents the set of practices that aims to optimize the performance of a company and protect stakeholders, such as stockholders, investors, clients, employees, suppliers etc, as well as to facilitate access to capital, add value to the company and contribute to its sustainability, involving, mainly, aspects focused on transparency, equity of treatment of stockholders and accountability.
In this context, Bradesco Organizations Risk Management Process counts on the participation of all segments comprised by the scope of Corporate Governance, which comprises the Senior Management until the several business and product areas in the identification of risks in addition to stakeholders.
Governance Scope |
This structure is aligned with the best market practices, counting on independent Board members, policies, Committees with specific functions and dedicated directive structure, establishing guidelines and rules, providing human resources and technology focused on these activities.
148
Risk Management Process |
Bradesco approaches the management of all the risks inherent to its activities in an integrated manner, within a process, based on the support from its Internal Controls and Compliance structure (concerning regulations, rules and internal policies). This view allows the ongoing improvement of its risk management models, minimizing gaps that could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment.
Risk Management |
The structure of the Organizations Risk Management Process allows Credit, Market, Liquidity and Operational risks to be effectively identified, evaluated, controlled and mitigated in a unified manner. In order to ensure unicity to the risk management process, there is a high-level permanent forum about the theme with the intention to obtain synergy among these activities at the Organization. This instance called Committee of Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation, Statutory Committee, has as attribution to advise the Board of Directors in the approval of institutional policies, operational guidelines and establishment of exposure limits to risks within the scope of the economic-financial consolidated. Additionally, there are three Executive Committees for issues related to Credit, Market, Liquidity and Operational Risk which, among their attributions, suggest the tolerance limits to their respective risks and preparation of mitigation plans to be submitted to the Committee of Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation.
149
Below we show Bradesco Organizations Risk Management Structure |
We also point out the existence of its Risk Management and Compliance Department DGRC, which is a dedicated and independent department exclusively focused on activities related to global risk and internal controls management, reflecting the Organizations commitment to the theme, besides showing the concepts enacted by the New Capital Accord (Basel II) to the best Corporate Governance practices. The department has as attribution to coordinate the work to comply with Resolutions 2,554 (Internal Controls), 3,380 (Operational Risk), 3,464 (Market Risk) of the National Monetary Council and with the provisions of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley act, Section 404.
The risk management process in Bradesco Organization comprises a virtuous circle, which involves:
Identification of risks: present in the daily basis of the units of businesses and products this activity considers the definition, identification and diagnostic of the risk, task made by means of the structure of Internal Controls and Compliance;
150
Measurement of risks: it involves the use of a series of methodologies, such as calculation of the expected and unexpected losses, calculation of VaR (Value at Risk), stress tests and use of market benchmarks;
Mitigation of risks: it represents the reduction of the gross exposure level to risks, leading to an acceptable residual by means of the adoption of instruments aiming at its transfer or implementation of effective controls, periodically revaluated and regularly tested as to its adequate execution;
Monitoring and control of risks: it uses the results of measurement models for the establishment of policies and limits. These limits are divided and monitored daily, weekly, monthly or according to each situation. In addition, we have an integrated management system which incorporates several elements, such as specific models for measurement of each one of the risks, historical data base, strict procedures of internal controls and a highly qualified team in the risk management function; and
Report of risks: for each business unit, information aiming at the integrated risk management is reported in analytical and consolidated bases.
New Capital Accord Basel II |
Structure and Fundamentals |
One of the main functions of the central banks of several countries is the supervision of the financial system under their jurisdiction, in the sense of avoiding and mitigating possible banking crises which may deeply affect local economies.
With the financial globalization, a banking crisis in a certain Country may affect the banking and economic activities of other countries, with the need of alignment of the supervision activities of the several central banks, so as to level the measurement criteria of the banking risk among countries and ensure the solvability of the international financial market. This need was met by the Basel Capital Accord of 1988. The main guideline of this Accord was the requirement of minimum capital in relation to the credit risk. The supervisors of each country require from the banks under their jurisdiction a minimum capital amount in relation to their portfolio assets, weighted by the risk level determined by supervisors. Later, in 1996, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision added market risk as one more risk factor to be considered for capital allocation.
With the evolution of the world banking scenario and the acceleration of the integration pace of several national financial systems through complex and sophisticated instruments, there was the need to improve the Capital requirement rules established 1988 and 1996. The New Capital Accord (Basel II), disclosed in June 2004, after more than six years of studies, deepens the conquests of the previous Accord, based on the three pillars:
151
The First Pillar has two main innovations concerning the previous Accord: a) the risk weighing rules which currently are established by the regulator, may be based on internal classifications of the banks themselves; and b) the addition to the capital requirement of the amounts related to the operational risk.
The Second Pillar comes from the fact that the supervising authority excludes from the function of determining the risk level of banking assets in the internal evaluation models. The exclusion fundamental is that the banks themselves have the best capacity to determine them. On the other hand, the supervising tasks of the banking authority are added to the internal risk measurement processes of the banks under its jurisdiction.
The Third Pillar recommends to the banks a set of minimum information for the disclosure to the market, so that it can make a better evaluation based on the risks incurred by each one of the institutions in their activities.
Implementation in Brazil |
As of 1994, the Central Bank of Brazil started disclosing normative rulings based on the orientations given by the Basel Accord (Basel I) for follow-up of the financial instructions risk, continuously updated.
In September 2007, the Central Bank of Brazil issued the Notice no. 16,137, which updated the initial schedule defined by the Notice no. 12,746 of December 2004 for implementation of the New Basel Accord (Basel II), as the following table:

In accordance with the New Accord, the Central Bank published Resolutions 3,380 and 3,464 which deal with the structures for operational and market risk management, respectively. Resolution 3,444 was also published, changing the ascertainment rules of the Reference Equity.
Implementation of Basel II in the Bradesco Conglomerate |
Based on the consulting documents disclosed by the Basel Committees and on the exercises of quantitative impacts (QIS) for implementation of Basel II, Bradesco, since 2003, prepares in an integrated manner to its adequacy to the requirements proposed by these documents.
In 2004, with the publication of the definite document about the New Capital Accord (International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards), an internal implementation plan was established, under the coordination of the Risk Management and Compliance Department, involving areas of Bradesco Organization, and follow-up by a structure of PMO (Project Management Office), under the responsibility of the Department of Organization and Methods.
The main activities established for adequacy are focused on:
historical data storage on default, recoveries and operational losses;
review and update of the loan granting and recovery models;
review of limit and guarantee management processes;
definition, formalization and structuring of data, processes and management of banking and trading portfolios;
evaluation of the market and liquidity risks data and models;
definition and formalization of the mark-to-market processes;
refining in the capture of data and models of operational risks;
backtesting structure of risk models;
development and effective application of economic capital models; and
certification by the internal audit of all processes and models related to Basel II.
153
All these works are directed by an Executive Committee designated by the Board of Directors, under the coordination of the Organizations CEO, showing the total commitment of our management to the implementation of Basel II.
We believe that the implementation of the approaches of Basel II, connected to the best market practices, will bring to our Organization improvements to the risk management processes.
Credit Risk Management |
Credit Risk is the possibility of a counterparty of a loan or financial operation might not intend nor suffer any change in its ability to comply with its contractual liabilities, thus may generate any loss for the Organization.
Loan Granting |
Under the responsibility of the Loan Department, the loan process of the Organization meets the determinations of the Loan Executive Committee and the Brazilian Central Bank, in addition to being based on the pursuit of security, quality, liquidity and diversification in the application of the loan assets.
In a constant search for agility and profitability in businesses, we use methodologies directed and adequate to each segment the Bank operates, guiding the granting of loan operations and the determination of operational limits when adequate.
Loan Policies |
Within rules and Loan Policy, the branches maintain their limit values variable, according to the size and guarantees of operations, whose 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, thus minimizing the risks inherent to loan operations.
For the granting of mass loans, the specialized Credit and Behavior Scoring systems enable greater agility and reliability, besides the standardization of procedures in the credit analysis and granting processes.
The Executive Loan Committee located at Bradesco's Headquarters aims at joint decision-making processes within its skills referring to consultations about limits or operations proposed by the Bradesco Conglomerate, previously analyzed and with opinion of the Loan Department.
Operations are diversified, non-selective and focused on individuals and corporate customers with sound payment capacity and proven creditworthiness. Care is taken to ensure that the underlying guarantees are sufficient to cover the risks assumed, considering the purpose and terms of the loan granted.
154
Loan Granting |
Methodology Used for Loan Portfolio and Client Classification |
The credit risk assessment methodology, besides delivering data to establish minimum parameters in the loan granting and risk management, also enables to define special loan policies in view of characteristics and size of client, providing grounds not only for the correct pricing of operations, but also the definition of adequate guarantees according to each situation.
The risk ratings for corporate clients are given on a corporate basis and periodically followed up, with a view to preserving the quality of loan portfolio.
In the case of individuals, the risk ratings are mainly defined based on their registered reference variables out of which we point out: income, equity, restrictions and indebtedness, besides standard and past relationship with the Bank.
Credit Risk Control |
Aiming at mitigating the Credit Risk, Bradesco is continuously following up the processes of loan activities, in the improvement, examination and preparation of inventories of credit risk models, on the monitoring of credit concentration and on the identification of new components that offer credit risks.
In addition, the efforts, which are focused on the utilization of advanced models of measuring risks and on the continuous improvement of processes, have reflected on performance of the credit portfolio, both in terms of results and solidity, in various scenarios.
The credit risk control is made in a corporative manner and monthly followed by the Executive Board and Officers of the main management areas at Credit and Recovery Portfolio Follow-up meetings and followed by the Executive Credit Risk Management Committee, which has the following attributions:
a) to evaluate and recommend risk measurement strategies, policies, rules and methodologies to the Committee of Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation;
b) to follow and evaluate credit risk and measures taken to mitigate risks;
c) to follow and evaluate alternatives for credit concentration risk mitigation, aware of those people who may cause unexpected and unacceptable losses for Bradesco Organization;
d) to follow the implementation of methodologies, models and corporate credit risk management tools;
155
e) to evaluate the sufficiency of allowance for doubtful accounts for coverage of expected losses on credit operations;
f) to follow the movements and development of the credit market, evaluating implications, risks and opportunities for Bradesco Organization; and
g) to regularly position the CEO and the Integrated Risk Management and Capital Allocation Committee about its activities and make the recommendations deemed appropriate.
We point out the following credit risk management activities:
backtesting and gauging of the models used for measuring loan portfolios risks;
active participation in the process of improving risk rating models of clients, respecting the particular characteristics of the business and product segments in which Bradesco operates;
concentration analysis, by economic groups, activities, regions etc.;
follow-up of critical risks: periodical monitoring of the main events of default, by means of individual analysis based on the growth of clients balances and recovery estimates;
follow-up of the provisioning on expected and unexpected losses;
continuous review and restructuring of the internal processes, including roles and responsibilities, qualification, organizational structures review and IT demands; and
participation in the evaluation of credit risks upon creation or review of products.
In addition, the whole process of control comprises periodical review of projects related to the compliance with best market practices and requirements of New Capital Basel Accord, by monitoring actions in progress and identifying new gaps and needs emerged for the improvement of management process, preparing action plans.
We point out that we are focused on the adequacy of processes for alignment to the requirements of the approach IRB Advanced of Basel II.
Credit Risk Analysis |
For the credit risk control and management, we point out mainly the quality topics (classification and evaluation of clients), portfolio composition and concentration (by client/economic group, activity sector and maturity).
Portfolio Quality |
In relation to the previous quarter and in the last twelve months, there was an increase in the quality of the total portfolio due to the growth in the participation of credits classified between AA and C in the operations focused on Individuals, as well as Micro, Small and Medium-sized Companies.

Provisioning |
The processes to constitute the allowance for doubtful accounts (PDD) meet the requirements of the Central Bank of Brazil, based on Resolutions 2,682 and 2,697 and complementary circulars, with the purpose of ensuring the adequate classification and quality of loan operations. The classification process for purposes of provision is composed by stages:
evaluation and classification of the client/ economic group: quantitative (economic and financial indicators) and qualitative aspects (registration and behavioral data), connected to the clients capacity to honor their commitments, are considered;
classification of the operation: evaluation of the classification of the client connected to the liquidity and sufficiency level of the guarantee; and
reclassification by delay and term of the operation and by renegotiation.
After all classification steps for purposes of provision are carried out, the loss expected in 1 year is evaluated, trying to maintain a minimum coverage margin above this loss in order to ensure possible impacts by quick acceleration of default, not captured by means of classification models applied to the portfolio. For the composition of this margin, exceeding provisions are constituted, which are allocated in the operations.
For the determination of this margin the highest amplitude of default above 90 days occurred in the last two years and applied on the expected loss in a year of the portfolio is calculated. For the portfolio of December 2007, the minimum margin verified was 43%.
The total amount of the provision is constituted by the generic (classification of the client and/or operation), specific (delay higher than 14 days) and exceeding (internal criteria and policies) provisions.

The total volume of allowance for doubtful accounts reached R$7,826 million, representing 6.0% of the total loan portfolio (6.4%, in September 2007), ensuring a coverage level of 48% above the expected loss of 1 year.
In this sense, it is important to highlight the adherence of the provisioning criteria adopted, which may be proved by means of analysis of historical data of allowances for doubtful accounts and losses effectively occurred in the subsequent period of twelve months during the analyzed period. For instance, in December 2006, for an existing provision of 6.9% of the portfolio, the loss in the twelve subsequent months was 4.6% of the portfolio, that is, the existing provision covered with the margin the loss which really occurred.

Portfolio Concentration |
By Activity Sector |
The distribution of the portfolio by economic activity sector did not have a concentration. Operations for individuals, despite their significant participation, are covered. In the last twelve months we point out the participation and balance growth of the Services sector (especially in Transportation, Storage and Civil Construction).

The term of operations falling due has been extended, mainly due to the consumer financing operations, which are, by their nature, of larger term.
The operations with term larger than 180 days represented 56.2% of the total portfolio in December 2007, against 51.6% twelve months ago.

By Debtor |
In the last twelve months the concentration levels of credit operations of the total portfolio had a reduction in all intervals of debtors, whereas in the quality of the portfolio there was an improvement in the range of the one hundred largest debtors due to the growth in the participation of the rating AA and A (excellent and great concept and economic-financial condition).

Market Risk Management |
Market risk is related to the possibility of the loss of income from fluctuating prices and rates caused by mismatched maturities, currencies and indexes of the Institution's asset and liability portfolios. This risk has been accompanied by growing strictness by the market, with significant technical growth over the past years, with a view to avoiding, or at least, minimizing, occasional losses to institutions, due to higher complexity in operations carried out in the markets.
Market Risk Control |
Market risks are managed through methodologies and models, which are consistent with local and international market realities, ensuring that the Organization's strategic decisions are implemented with speed and a high level of reliability.
The market risk control is weekly followed by the meetings of the Executive Treasury Committee, whose main attributions are:
a) to define operation strategies for optimization of results and present positions held by the Organization;
b) to analyze the national and international political-economic scenario;
c) to evaluate and define investment limits in public federal, private, national and international securities;
d) to evaluate and define limits of VaR (Value at Risk) and Stop Loss of the portfolios;
e) to define the liquidity policy;
f) to establish operational limits of separation of assets, liabilities and currencies; and
159
g) to hold special meetings to analyze positions and situations in which the position limits, Stop Loss or VaR, are exceeded.
Among the main activities of the market risk management activities, we point out:
to follow, calculate and analyze the market risk of the positions of the Conglomerate, by means of the VaR methodology;
to follow the limits of Stop Loss established for the positions by the Senior Management;
to make backtesting of the models adopted for measurement of market risks;
to prepare sensibility analysis and simulate results in stress scenarios for the positions of the Conglomerate;
to meet the demands of regulatory bodies concerning the calculation and sending of information related to prefixed positions, as well as the requirement of resulting capital (Circulars 2,972 and 3,046); and
to analyze and follow the evolution of the markets, involving operations, quotations and liquidity of assets, including pricing methods and evaluation of structured operations and derivatives, in addition to calculation systems of volatilities and correlations.
Concerning the Resolution no. 3,464 of the National Monetary Council, which provides for the implementation of the market risk management structure, Banco Bradesco is aligned with the main demands carried out by the Central Bank, mainly related to policies, strategies and systems for risk management, in addition to stress tests.
Market Risk Analysis |
The Organization adopts a conservative policy regarding market risk exposure. VaR (Value at Risk) limits are defined by the Executive Treasury Committee and validated by the Board of Executive Officers, compliance therewith is daily monitored by an independent area to the manager of positions. The methodology used to determine VaR has a reliability level of 97.5% and time horizon of 1 day. The volatilities and correlations used by the models are calculated on a statistical basis and are adjusted, when necessary, at facts not captured yet by the data used in the models and the sensibility of the participants of the work.
The last quarter was characterized by the high volatility level in international financial markets, a fact which has been observed since 3Q07. The maintenance of this volatility level was a result of the ongoing problems in the American mortgage market, which infected other types of assets, due to the importance of this sector to the American financial system and to the exposure of institutions from other countries to this market. The central banks of the main economies maintained a joint action to provide higher liquidity to the financial systems affected and, thus, contain the deterioration of the growth prospects of the world economy, mainly for the high funds investments and two reductions, in October and December, of 25 basis points in the basic interest rate in the U.S., from 4.75% p.a. to 4.25% p.a. Additionally, the institutions affected have obtained success in keeping adequate capitalization levels. These actions contributed to soften problems faced by the markets, but they were not enough to remove them definitively, since the risk of a stronger downturn of the North American economy remains.
Despite the high volatility level observed in 4Q07, there was a decrease in relation to the level recorded in 3Q07, and the Global VaR decreased in the period.

N.B.: Investments abroad protected by hedge operations are not considered in the VaR calculation, since these are strategically managed differently, with amounts taking into account the tax effects, which minimize the sensitivity to risks and corresponding impacts on results, as well as foreign securities positions, which are funding-matched.
The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated on a daily basis using backtesting techniques. The backtesting compares the daily VaR calculated with the result obtained with these positions (excluding result with intraday positions, brokerage rates and commissions). The main purpose of the backtesting is to monitor, validate and evaluate the adherence to the VaR model, and the number of disruptions must be in accordance with the reliability interval previously established in the modeling. The following chart shows the daily VaR and the corresponding result of the last 12 months, in which the adverse results exceed VaR only four times, that is, the number of disruptions is within the limit defined by the reliability level of the model adopted, showing its efficiency.

With the purpose of estimating the possible loss not included in VaR, Banco Bradesco daily evaluates the possible effects on the positions of stress scenarios. Stress Analysis is a tool that tries to quantify the negative impact of shocks and economic events financially unfavorable to the positions of the institution. Thus, crisis scenarios are determined for risk factors in which the Trading portfolio has a position. Thus, considering the diversification effect among risk factors, the possibility of average estimated loss in a stress situation would be R$474 million in the 4th quarter of 2007, and the maximum estimated loss would be R$578 million. In the quarter analyzed, the positions which would contribute the most, in terms of risk in a stress situation, were related to the short/medium term Brazilian sovereign risk securities and IPCA coupon.

Besides the follow-up and control via VaR and stress analysis, a Sensitivity Analysis is made daily, which measures the effect on the portfolio of the movement of the market curves and prices.
Liquidity Risk Management |
The liquidity risk management is made by the Department of Operational Control and 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.
Liquidity Risk Control |
The Bradesco Conglomerate has a Liquidity Policy approved within the scope of the Executive Treasury Committee. On a daily basis, different information is consolidated and distributed - some are updated in real time - to the Treasury Department and to the Board of Executive Officers. In this Policy the minimum liquidity levels are defined to be maintained by the Banks of the Organization, as well as the liquidity management instruments in a normal scenario and a crisis scenario. The policies and controls established fully comply with Resolution 2,804 of the National Monetary Council.
The several reports comprise historical information which allows the evaluation of the behavior and level of liquidity maintained, as well as simulations for the time horizon of, at least, one year. The simulations are made with information of scenarios produced by the Department of Research and Economic Studies, and the balances of products budgeted by the Department of Budget and Control.
162
Management of Internal Controls and Compliance |
We are continually developing policies, systems and internal controls to mitigate possible potential losses generated by our risk exposure and strengthen the processes and procedures focused on Corporate Governance. We have also adopted additional methodologies and criteria for identifying, measurement, monitoring risks and respective controls. The network of dedicated staff and the investments in technology and in personnel training and recycling, together, allow us to assert that Bradesco Organizations internal control and compliance management is effective and is in line with international standards, so as to comply with the requirements set forth by national and international regulatory agencies. The Internal Control Area is one of the units of the Risk Management and Compliance Department, and is responsible for preparing and disclosing instructions of technical nature, criteria and procedures related to internal controls and compliance providing periodical status reports to the Internal Controls and Compliance and Audit Committees and to the Board of Directors.
The Internal Controls and Compliance Committee, each half year, issues opinion on the effectiveness of the Internal Controls System maintained in the Organization and submits it to the approval of the Board of Directors, at a specific meeting about the subject, with the following attributions:
a) to evaluate if the recommendations of improvements in the internal controls were duly implemented by the managers;
b) to certify the conformity of procedures with rules, regulations and applicable laws;
c) to follow the implantation and implementation of methodologies, models and corporate management tools of the operational risk, in conformity with the applicable rules; and
d) to appreciate the reports issued by the Regulatory Bodies and Internal and External Audits concerning the deficiencies of internal controls and respective measures of the areas involved.
Among the main items focused on internal control and compliance management, we highlight:
the internal control structure has as basis the control component and objectives included in the methodology of Committee of Sponsoring Organizations COSO for business areas and on the framework of Control Objectives for Information and related Technology Cobit, for the Information Technology environments, and adheres to the 13 Basel Internal Control Principles and to the requirements of the Brazilian Central Bank. That structure strengthens the ongoing improvement of the process used to identify and assess controls and mitigate risks.

the Brazilian Payment System (SPB) Management, whose main activity is to monitor the delivery of all messages of SPB sent to and/or received by the Banks of the Organization and other participating entities. This activity is supported by an infrastructure of monitoring tools of the Organizations information systems combined with continuous training and professional qualification with a view to ensuring full operationality and availability of funds. The said infrastructure has a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to SPB, which is documented in a specific tool and with corporate access covering all possible risk scenarios, alternative operating website, human and technological resources and predefined actions enabling the reduction of the impact that an operating unavailability, for any reason, may cause in business processes. In order to ensure the effectiveness of PCN-SPB, tests and simulations defined in an annual calendar are carried out. After each test evidences are generated, with improvement actions whenever the case may be, and results are published in our corporate intranet. Aiming at the clients protection against fraud and errors, the messages about financial transferences generated through SPB of the Organizations Banks, are monitored online by means of an intelligent system called TED (Available Electronic Transference) Legitimation, with a view to hinder improper money outflow and, accordingly, to ensure more security and reliability to the transactions.
the Organization maintains specific policies, processes and systems to prevent the utilization of its structure, products and services for money laundering, illegal businesses, connected to corruption or, also, to the financing of terrorism. Strong investments are made in the training of its employees, with programs in several formats such as videos, e-learning and presence courses, including specific courses for the areas in which the activities require it. A multidepartmental commission evaluates the pertinence of the submission of the suspicious or atypical cases identified to the proper authorities, whether the operation has been carried out or not. The Executive Committee of Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering and Financing to Terrorism meets on a quarterly basis to evaluate the progress of the work and the need to adopt new measures with the intention to align the Organizations Program of Prevention and Fight against Money Laundering and Financing to Terrorism to the rules from the regulatory bodies and to the best international practices.
Information Security basically comprises a set of controls, including policies, processes, organizational structures and security rules and procedures. It aims at protecting clients and the Organizations information, in the confidentiality, integrity and availability aspects.
Bradesco Organization created the Corporate Policy on Information Security, whose guidelines are made available on our website, and maintains a formal infrastructure, whose purpose is to promote the corporate management of Information Security, and thus providing effective protection to Information Assets. The Corporate Policy on Information Security includes Privacy Guidelines, voluntarily set forth by Bradesco Organization, aiming at protecting the privacy of its clients data. This reflects the values of the Organization and reassures its commitment to the continuous improvement of Data Protection process efficiency.
A Business Continuity Plan BCP was also set forth, in which actions to be taken are standardized, in order to, in crisis periods, make effective the recovery and continuity of business crucial process, avoiding or minimizing financial losses for the Organization and its clients.
In order to maintain total compliance to these procedures, constant training and awareness programs, as well as reviews of the policies, are carried out.
164
In this context, Bradesco Organization obtained in June 2007, according to Form 20-F filed with the SEC U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the certification of its internal controls, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, focused on the preparation of the accounting and financial statements related to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2006, in accordance with the requirement in Section 404 of U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Continuous Improvement |
Operational Risk Management |
Under the corporate scope, Bradesco Organization defines operational risk as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or faulty internal processes, people and systems and from external events which may or may not cause the interruption of businesses.
Operating Risk Control |
The operational risk management is based on the preparation and implementation of methodologies and tools that standardize the format of collection and treatment of the loss historical data and is in accordance with the best practices of operational risk management. The works related to operational risk are in line with the best market practices, as well as the new corporate platform, which is under validation process. This new corporate system, called Operational Risk and Internal Control System ROCI, has the advantage of integrating in a single data base Operational Risk and Internal Controls information and will also meet the requirements established in Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
165
This new systemic outline via the web will increment the Organizations Operational Risk Management, as it improves the activities of capture, identification, measurement, monitoring and report, by means of a unified platform, providing the necessary qualitative support given by the Internal Controls Areas to analyses made by the Operational Risk Area. It also allows to meet the guidance in the New Capital Basel Accord, the schedule established by the Brazilian Central Bank, by means of the Notice no. 12,746, issued in December 2004 (and substituted by Notice 16,137/07) and the requirements in Resolution no. 3,380 of Bacen which provides for the implementation of the operational risk management structure in financial institutions.
The historical data base of Operational Risk completed 4 years of storage at the end of 2007, and is in compliance with the minimum provided for according to paragraph 672 of Basel II for application of the advanced methodology. The data for preparation of the model calculation are obtained by means of accounting accounts opened exclusively for registration of losses resulting from Operational Risk events. From this information internally obtained we made the calculations related to the advanced method of capital allocation separated by company which comprises the financial consolidated.
The centralized operational risk management meets all activities of the Organization, including the ones of the Insurance Group. As a result of this strategy, it was possible to obtain synergy and rationalization of resources, for the convergence of implementation of concepts of Basel II and Solvability II, unifying the criteria within Bradesco Organization, in conformity with Resolution no. 3,380 in what concerns the financial economic consolidated statement.
Approaches and Implementation of Basel II |
For purposes of operational risk management and respective capital allocation, the recommendations in the New Capital Accord - Basel II and concepts required by the Brazilian Central Bank by means of Impact Studies carried out in 2005 and 2006, comprise the following approaches:
Basic (BIA Basic Indicator Approach): application of a single percentage on the gross result for the last 36 months.
Standardized (STA - Standardized Approach): application of distinct percentages on gross result for the last 36 months segregated by business lines.
Alternative (ASA Alternative Standardized Approach): application of a fixed percentage (factor M) on the average of credit assets (Business Lines: Retail and Commercial Bank) and distinct percentages on the gross result segregated by other business lines.
Aggregated Alternative (ASA 2): guided by the Brazilian Central Bank, it is different from ASA Alternative Standardized Approach as to the segregation of the business lines.
Advanced (AMA Advanced Measurement Approach): the focus on losses resulting from operational events by means of the construction of proprietary models for purposes of management and capital allocation.
For the advanced approach (AMA), which is the purpose of the Organization, we used the Loss Distribution Approach methodology (LDA), which comprises the estimate of distribution of severity (loss amount) and frequency (number of events) for each Business Line and Loss Event. To model the severity, we used statistic distributions, from which we point out the exponential, gamma, weibull and lognormal. For the modeling of the frequency distribution, we used distributions of poisson, geometric and negative binomial.
166
We made the simulation of distributions of severity and frequency using the simulation methodology of Monte Carlo and thus we determined the distribution of aggregated loss that reflects the estimate of expected loss (EL) and exposure to risk in the horizon of certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, annually etc.), considering the businesses and controls environment existing at the time of the calculations. In the simulation methodology of aggregated losses we included the possibility of using the correlation between events of loss or business lines, allowing a more accurate determination of the capital related to the exposure of Operational Risk. Key indicators of risk, controls and analysis of scenarios are used to estimate loss models considering changes in businesses and controls environments.
We consider the exposure to the Operational Risk, that is, the capital to be allocated, as the unexpected loss (UL), which is represented by the difference obtained between the expected loss (EL) and the VaR (Value at Risk) measure with 99.9% of reliability, which will be reflected on future capital allocations by the advanced method. Additionally, we calculated the TVaR ( Tail Value at Risk) measure which is the expected loss value in case this is higher than the VaR with 99.9% of reliability. Below there are the classifications of losses arising from the operational risk:
Aggregated Loss Value |
We are analyzing the possibility of participating in the world consortium of data base of losses for financial intuitions, called ORX (Operational Riskdata eXchange Association) to use information made available with the intention of assisting in the calculations of analyses of scenarios and comparisons of the positioning of Bradesco concerning large global players in relation to loss events.
167
Operational Risk Analysis |
The Brazilian Central Bank required in September/2007 to 12 financial institutions the participation in an impact study of all operational losses recorded, called LDCE Loss Data Collection Exercise. The reference data required was June 2007 and applied to the financial consolidated. The recovery concept to be adopted in the calculation of the exposure to the risk would be only that coming from insurance.
We participated in this study and sent the data establishing a cut line of one thousand reais for events registered in Banco Bradesco and cut line exemption for those belonging to connected financial companies. However, there are events registered in the Bank that were fully reported inclusively below the cut line as we have managerial information that supports registrations, such as: losses in credit and debit cards, civil and labor indemnifications, maintenance etc. Below we show a comparative table between the methods determined of capital allocation and the analyses of frequency and severity by events of loss and business lines updated until the reference date of September/2007.

For a better understanding of the following tables, initially we present the definitions of the 8 categories of loss events and 9 business lines composing the matrix 8 x 9 which we use for the behavior analyses of operational losses we adopt in our internal model: They are as follows:
Loss Events |
1. External Fraud fraudulent actions practiced by clients or third parties.
2. Internal Fraud fraudulent actions practiced by an employee of the Organization or with his/her indirect participation.
3. Human Resources practices related to the management of human resources, labor demands, security and occupational medicine.
4. Commercial Relations improper commercial practices used in the trading of products and services to clients or in the relationship with third parties, suppliers and service providers.
5. External Events damages to physical assets and to persons which result or not in the total or partial interruption of the Organizations activities.
168
6. Information Technology failures in equipment, systems and/or technological infrastructure which result or not in the total or partial interruption of the activities.
7. Processes deficiencies in the drawing of products and services or in the execution of the operational and control activities.
8. Regulatory legal modifications established by governmental authorities that interfere in the private relations and change rights and obligations legally contracted.
Business Lines: |
1. Corporate Finance complex operations carried out by banks involving intermediation of mergers, spin-offs, acquisitions and incorporations of companies, as well as structuring of financial and investment operations to make them viable with national or foreign funds.
2. Negotiation and Sales treasury operations.
3. Retail Bank banking operations for the large public, offering different products and services.
4. Commercial Bank operations that provide funds for short and medium-term financing, commerce, industry and companies that provide services.
5. Payments and Settlements services provided to clients and state-owned organizations related to payments and collections, transfers of funds, compensation and settlement.
6. Centralized Services services provided within the scope of branches, however the processing occurs in back office through premises that carry out these activities in a centralized manner.
7. Fund Management it is related to the management of funds from third parties (clients) under our responsibility whose resources are allocated in funds for separation of the management of the resource.
8. Retail Brokerage it is about values charged from clients for the provision of services related to the intermediation of securities (operations on the stock exchange).
9. Corporate it is about values not liable of registration in any business line suggested by Basel II. They represent events that are not necessarily connected to products and/or services provided by the Organization.

During 4Q07, Bradesco opened six new exchange platforms assisting service units in ABC, Caxias do Sul, Joinville, Jundiaí, Londrina and Novo Hamburgo. These platforms, like the other 7 ones in the structure, were installed with Bradesco Empresas segment, aiming at the areas synergy in the prospect of new potential clients, and in the increment of the market share with existing clients.
We also highlight in the area structure, the creation, in the second half of 2007, of the Regional Exchange Management composed by: North, South and São Paulo Regional.

Methodology for Mapping and Documentation of Processes |
This is a corporate methodology whose goal is to enable the Banks 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.
189
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 |
Designed to support the Bank in its actions to improve processes and optimize productive resources, such as practices recommended for decreasing costs, Bradesco adopts the Activity-Based Costing System ABC, which measures the cost and performance of its activities, resources and cost centers.
Thus, the knowledge of the Bank's activities, as well as the correct measurement of the resources consumed by these activities, allows a more accurate analysis of the cost/benefit ratio of each of the Organization's productive processes and results centers.
We stress that as a result of the application of Activity-Based Costing, the Bank is now meeting the following targets: improved allocation of costs to products, channels and customers; support to qualification studies and negotiation of bank fees; subsidy to product, unit and client profitability systems; support to studies concerning outsourcing, incorporation and equipment sharing; as well as support to cost rationalization studies.
Activity-Based Management Program |
Seeking to explore the potential applications of the information base of the Activity-Based Cost, we are to adopt a Cost Management model by means of the Activity-Based Management ABM, which will rapidly lead to the prevention of costs and a proactive approach regarding the identification of opportunities.
Concurrently, 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.
Integrated Management System ERP |
For purposes of providing permanent and appropriate support for its operations and in the pursuit of improving results, as well as extending its capacity to manage the Organization's resources, Bradesco adopted one of the most modern concepts for integrating organizational processes, using SAP's Integrated Management System - ERP, mySAP Business Suite solution.
The implementation of this system 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.
190
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 Banks administrative expenses.
Currently, the processes of Works Management, Maintenance Management, Cash Management, Real Estate Management, Supplies Management (Auction and Electronic Quotation), Audit Management, Banking Accounting and Consolidation of Financial Statements are being implemented.
The adoption of the Integrated Management System by the areas integrated through this technology allowed them to renew processes and review organizational structures and nearly 83 thousand system users were qualified via presence and e-learning training.
As a result of the implementation of the Integrated Management System, Bradesco will benefit most from the organization and standardization of the processes carried out in different areas, agile decision-making, secure data processing, as well as decreased operating costs and increased productivity. These factors are crucial for the Organization's growth, especially in view of current fierce competition in the financial area, prompting us to pursue increasingly effective management methods designed to ensure that all of Bradesco's business potential is properly leveraged.
Corporate Governance |
The adoption of best Corporate Governance practices has enabled a greater emphasis on the improvement of internal controls and a rigid establishment of professional conduct standards, whose effort to maintain the image of a safe, reliable and dynamic Institution has been evident throughout all the segments of performance, improving the relationship and the transparency with Investors. This is, at same time, an incentive to the Managers so that their decisions aim the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, consolidating Bradescos positive perception in the market.
The results have been evidenced by the figures recorded up to date, ensuring that such purpose has been achieved, both in terms of operating efficiency and in the increase of the deposit capacity in Brazil and abroad.
Bradesco always sought to be present in the acts aiming at reinforcing the capital markets. Bradescos stocks were listed on the Stock Exchange in Brazil in 1946, three years after its foundation, when Bradescos operations were restricted to the São Paulo state.

Practices for the Payment of Dividends and Interest on Own Capital |
Banco Bradesco S.A. has distributed monthly dividends since 1970, which makes it the pioneering financial institution in the adoption of this practice.
Since January 1, 1996, when Law no. 9,249/95 entered into force, the companies have been allowed to pay interest on own capital to their stockholders, to be credited, net of Withholding Income Tax, in the amount of the minimum mandatory dividend.
Minimum Mandatory Dividend
According to section III of Article 29 of the Bylaws, it is ensured to the stockholders, each year, as a minimum mandatory dividend, thirty percent (30%) of the net income, adjusted according to the decrease or increase of the values specified in sections I, II and III of Article 202 of Law no. 6,404/76 (Brazilian Corporate Law).
Therefore, the minimum percentage of thirty percent (30%) stated in the Bylaws is above the minimum percentage of twenty-five percent (25%), set forth by Law no. 6,404/76.
Over the past years, R$ 849 million was distributed in 2001 (41.17% of the adjusted net income), R$ 947 million in 2002 (49.28% of the adjusted net income), R$ 1.347 billion in 2003 (61.48% of the adjusted net income), R$ 1.325 billion in 2004 (45.58% of the adjusted net income), R$1.881 billion in 2005 (35.91% of the adjusted net income), R$2.160 billion in 2006 (35.27% of the adjusted net income) and R$2.823 in 2007 (37.10% of the adjusted net income).
Interim Dividends
The Board of Executive Officers, upon approval by the Board of Directors, is authorized to state and pay interim dividends, half-yearly or monthly, to the Retained Earnings or to the Existing Profit Reserves account (paragraph 1 of Article 29 of the Bylaws).
Stockholders Owning Preferred Stocks
Preferred stocks shall yield their owners dividends ten percent (10%) higher than those assigned to common shares (letter b of paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Bylaws).
System of Monthly Payment of Interest on Own Capital
For the purposes provided for in Article 205 of Law no. 6,404/76, the dividend shall be paid to the stockholders who are registered in the Companys books on the date the dividend is declared, which takes place on the first business day of each month.
The payments are made on the first business day of the subsequent month, through monthly advancement of the compulsory dividend, by means of credit on the account given by the stockholder or made available to them at the Company.

6- Socialenvironmental Responsibility
Bradesco Organization and the Social-environmental Responsibility |
Bank of the Planet |
Aligned with the strong tendency that is also present in the financial sector, Bradesco has decided to intensify its social-environmental commitments being aware of the new world reality of climate changes and prevention of the global warming. Besides spreading the concept of sustainability among its employees, suppliers and commercial partners, Bradesco aims at incorporating, day-by-day, innovative management practices. Thus, it has been trying to align the responsible conduct of the Organization with the commitment to the environment preservation, with a view to ensuring its commitment to a sustainable development and, at the same time, ensuring the financial return.
In order to ratify this posture, at the end of 2007, the Organization took a historical step, expanding the role of a bank and the focus on sustainability , when it launched the Bank of the Planet. The initiative represents a milestone in its path and aims at unifying social-environmental actions, creating new products and services and investing in a more seamless interaction of people with the environment. More than guaranteeing the continuity of its business, Bradesco decided to expand its market operations in order to contribute with the continuity of the planet.
Such initiative is in sync with the main international agreements and commitments that Bradesco adopts in its management: Equator Principles (since September 2004), Global Compact (November 2005) and the Millennium Development Goals.
Further information on Bradescos social-environmental initiatives at www.bradesco.com.br/rsa.
The material events for the period are as follows:
Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (FAS) |
By means of an innovative partnership with the government of the State of Amazonas, which was announced in November, Bradesco became one of the co-founders of Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (FAS). The initiative estimates and investment of R$70 million to support FASs actions, which will be obtained by selling new products to be launched in the market, exclusively directed to this initiative.
FASs main challenge will be to preserve 31 units of environmental preservation in Amazonas, which cover 17 million hectares , where 8.5 thousand families live, with funds obtained through the profit of these initial investments.
ISE Corporate Sustainability Index |
In December, Bradesco started integrating for the third consecutive year the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) new stock portfolio of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa).
Elected among the 137 issuers of 150 stocks with the highest liquidity of Bovespa, the third ISE portfolio comprises 40 stocks from 32 companies and accounts for a market value of R$927 billion.
Being in ISE, Bradesco shows its commitment to solidity, transparency and liquidity of its securities, as well as reaffirms its position before the market and its values related to corporate sustainability and social-environmental responsibility.
Bank statement in Braille |
In an innovative initiative in the Brazilian market, Bradesco launched the first bank statement printed in Braille, so as to enable its reading by the visually impaired checking account holders. In order to make the reading easy even to those who are partially visually impaired, the bank statement may also be printed in an enlarged format.
This initiative aims at better meeting the needs of totally or partially visually impaired clients with no additional costs, enabling accessibility, privacy and security when consulting their financial transactions.

For further information, access the Bradescos Volunteers Program Portal: www.voluntariosbradesco.com.br.
Bradescos 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 Banks 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 its greenhouse gases (GHG) emission, Bradesco was the first bank to launch a measurement program of its direct and indirect participation in the emission of these gases in the atmosphere. The proposal is that all Bradescos business chain - including clients, suppliers and other stakeholders - takes part in this cause in the medium term.
In the first stage of the program, a survey of all the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions referring to operations at Cidade de Deus Bradescos 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 GHG emissions.
Initially, the environmental impact caused by the Organization will be offset by the planting of 38 thousand trees (in partnership with Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica).
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 the permanent research of more efficient and intelligent new technologies for the equipment, observing the environment preservation policy.
Bradesco invests in the Branches Network awareness about the issue, by indicating consumption targets for each unit - based on size, quantity of equipment installed and headcount, as well as release of information about the rational use of electricity and water, by means of circulars, internal periodicals, Intranet, among others.
199
a. Electricity
Timing machines were installed in the branches for the automatic turning-off of lights, allowing an easy utilization in scheduled hours. Turning-off lights in non-used areas and using natural light are also 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, more than 250 mercury light bulbs installed in the lampposts of Cidade de Deus were replaced by sodium steam light bulbs. Approximately 30 thousand 40-Watt light bulbs have been replaced by 32-Watt light bulbs, substantially 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 and common valves for coupled boxes, in the building of Avenida Paulista, with an estimated reduction of 50% of consumption.
The adequate garden watering, observing the best hour and periodicity, has also been deserving attention. There is a feasibility study related to the reuse of water that comes from the partial sewage treatment generated at the headquarters, with the purpose of watering and usage in the air conditioning towers. At Avenida Paulista, a former fuel tank of the generating group was adapted as a container to receive and store rainwater destined to garden watering.
This measure will enable an economy of up to 30 m3 in the monthly water consumption.
3) Solid Residues Destination
a. Paper and Cardboard
Currently, approximately 120 tonnes of paper and cardboard are collected monthly in our main administrative centers, which are submitted to a selective process. Bradesco is contemplating the possibility of its implementation in other regions. In addition, methods to assess the quantity of paper consumed by the Organization are under study, both office paper and forms. The purpose is to identify possible measures that may be adopted to reduce that consumption.
Bradesco also standardized the dispensers and respective consumption products used in bathrooms of Cidade de Deus and administrative buildings. Besides the economic aspects and quality improvement, this 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 2007, approximately 30 tonnes 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 has also been implemented in all of Bradescos premises. This material degrades completely within a short period of time, minimizing the impacts to the environment. At Cidade de Deus and administrative centers, plastic bags with colors corresponding to waste collected are also used, with a view to facilitating the recycling process of these materials.
200
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 companys obligation to conduct the ecologically correct discard. In 2007, approximately 30 thousand lamps of the headquarters and administrative buildings were sent to recycling.
In August 2007, the correct collection and destination of this type of material were implemented in more than 200 branches in the city of São Paulo, and a future expansion to other Network branches is expected.
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, based on the belief that Bradesco is able to contribute to the dissemination of environmental responsibility, has been gradually implemented in our Organization. The option to use recycled paper was made after long negotiations with suppliers, and even if it does not mean costs optimization, the beneficial result for the 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, circulars, business cards, statements distributed to clients and check books. Currently, nearly 90% of the paper consumed per month is recycled.
b. Remanufactured Cartridges
For five years Bradesco has used remanufactured cartridges in printers, aiming besides cost savings at the reduction of environmental pollution. Out of 37 types of toner cartridges composing the consumption list, 27 are remanufactured products.
c. Certified Wood
Recently pencils manufactured with certified wood were made available in the premises. The raw material used contributes to the fight against exploration of illegal wood with a predatory origin, besides minimizing the environment degradation.
d. Biodegradable Products for Cleaning
In Cidade de Deus, biodegradable products are used in cleaning and maintenance services. Contracted companies are encouraged to use products of such type, which will later become one of the requirements to be considered in a further agreement renewal.
Such measure integrates an improvement program seeking to standardize the biodegradable products, appropriate dilution, in conformity with the manufacturers guidance and the obligation to present information about chemical products used on the Organizations premises.

Human Resources |
Since the inception of Bradescos activities, the Company acknowledges the value of its teams performance and achievement potential as the foundation to sustain Bradesco Organizations businesses.
The Company offers to its employees ongoing professional development opportunities, in a healthy, safe and ethical environment, with transparent commitments and these 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, through the continuous investment in development, sharing of knowledge and valuing of the human being, without discrimination.
Bradesco adopted a closed-career policy, whereby the admission occurs at apprentice levels and 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 senior management. That is a motivational factor for all the staff, stimulating creativity, innovation and the ceaseless search for knowledge and updating.
When an employee joins the Bradesco Organization, whose closed-career system privileges, incentivizes and strongly invests in the growth and development of its staff, the employees start a career full of opportunities, connected with their 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 Bradesco and is one of the assumptions of its Human Resources Management Policy.
Only creative and innovative teams, highly skilled, with ensured career opportunities can surpass the goals and show the 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 Bradescos success, strongly contributing to its brand solidity and the accomplishment of its market strategies.
Bradescos 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 Companys strategic vision towards good performance, since Bradesco is inserted throughout the Brazilian territory.
Certification in International Rules |
In 2006, we achieved the certification of OHSAS 18001:1999 Rule of Occupational Safety and Health that allows establishing and developing conditions that contribute to a safe and healthy work environment. The certification was granted to the building located at Avenida Paulista, no 1.450, city and state of São Paulo and, in June 2007, we obtained the certification again. In December 2007, we updated the certification in the 2007 version.
Aligned with the sustainability concept added to our business strategy, in 2006 we implemented the Bradesco Social Responsibility Management System, based on the SA 8000®:2001 International Rule.
202
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 relationships and the work environment, including the commitment to respecting Human Rights, Childrens Rights and Labor Fundamental Rights to its suppliers.

Aiming at expanding the scopes, Bradesco is working for the certification of the main administrative centers in the country.
A Great Place to Work |
Over the last years, the Organization has shared with all its employees the satisfaction and importance of being included in indexes based on the quality of relations and the work environment.
Every year, around 4 thousand employees in all structure levels, from all lines of businesses and activities, voluntarily answer to surveys about the organizational environment through questionnaires and interviews. They assess items such as the work environment, benefits, compensation, professional development, ethics, citizenship values and social responsibility of companies.
The Company seeks to promote transparency, respect and confidence, so as to ensure a motivating and challenging organizational environment. Evidence is that Bradesco is currently recognized in several rankings.
The Company was listed for the eighth 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 has also been acknowledged among the 50 Best Companies for Women to Work for, for four years. In 2006, Bradesco was also highlighted as one of the Best Companies for Businessmen in the Country.
Guia Você S/A-Exame is considered the best and most comprehensive study on the work environment in Brazil, and since 2006 it has presented the index of happiness at work, in which we are highlighted for providing our employees with a positive corporate environment, promoting everyones well-being.
In 2007, Bradesco once more was elected one of the 100 Best Companies to Work in Brazil in a research developed by the Great Place To Work Institute, published in a special edition of Época magazine.
We were also pointed out among the 100 Best Companies in Organizational Human Development Index, the 20 Best Companies in Human Resources Practices and the Best Companies for Executives. This list presents the companies in which the executive group, which comprises officers, managers and supervisors, reports feeling more satisfaction at work.

It was the first bank to be in the ranking. In 2007, Bradesco ranked first among all the companies in the survey.
These results show the acknowledgment of 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.

Bradesco offers to 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 relationships, 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, among others. Those campaigns are carried out monthly through Interação magazine and in the Sipat (Internal Week of Occupational Accident Prevention).

Since hiring, Bradescos employees receive information and guidance on behavior and conduct adequate to the maintenance of health and improvement of life quality.
Bradesco has been an active member of the National Business Council for HIV/AIDS Prevention CEN, which aims at promoting and strengthening the combat against such epidemic in the work environment, diffusing information to a considerable portion of workers, family members and the community as a whole about the safe ways for prevention from the infection by HIV virus.
Another outstanding issue related to life quality is the balance between the employees 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 day-to-day activities inside and outside of call center. The room is available to all the employees of that section in case they go through situations related to psychological and emotional aspects.
Thus, we consider that the Bradesco Occupational Safety and Health System Management reassures the commitment to the safety and health of our employees, with the adoption of programs for ergonomic management and awareness about the importance of safety and health in the work environment.

Fundação Bradesco The Bradesco Organizations 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 innovative action of private social investment, the main mission of Fundação Bradesco is to provide formal quality education to children, young people and adults, so that they achieve personal fulfillment through their work and the effective exercise of citizenship.
In the last ten years, Fundação Bradesco has provided presence and distance education courses on a free of charge basis and with quality to 1,474,000 students comprising children, youngsters and adults.
In 2007, Fundação Bradesco surpassed the 384 thousand services in its several performance segments, of which 109 thousand students in its own schools, in the basic education, from Kindergarten to High School and High School Technical Education, youngsters and adults education and in the preliminary and continuing qualification of workers. Also, through virtual school, its e-learning portal, and CIDs Digital Inclusion Centers, there are more than 275 thousand services. Uniform, school supply, food and medical and dental assistance are ensured to the 50 thousand students of Fundação in the basic education on a free of charges basis.
224
Areas and Methods of Action |
Basic Education |
Basic Education comprises the Kindergarten, Elementary School (first to ninth grades) and High School, comprising more than 45% 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 interaction among them.
The schools are understood as a privileged environment for citizenship values and for regarding students as original, creative human beings and culture producers. 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 Bradescos 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 distance education courses.
Concomitantly to teacher education, there is the production of teaching materials and resources. Books used by students from the 1st to the 5th year of Elementary School, Philosophy material for High School, CD-ROMs and DVDs for teachers with guidelines for their work.
Technical Professional Education |
Based on the commitment of offering technical professional education capable of guaranteeing to the student the continuous right to develop their skills for a fruitful and social life, Fundação Bradesco is in consonance to a new model of technical education in force in Brazil. Bradesco structured the course syllabuses, prioritizing the demands from the market and the society from a brand new perspective, offering work preparation.
High School Technical Education |
Based on the professional areas of Agribusiness, Management, Industry (Electronics) and Information Technology, a number of courses were developed and offered according to the specific needs of the communities in which the school units are located.
The syllabus of these courses aims to ensure a close relationship among work, knowledge and citizenship. The final target is to bring out creative, productive and business-minded citizens, as well as showing students the importance of permanent education.
Through offering students, who arise from underprivileged backgrounds, courses whose syllabus will facilitate their entry and re-entry into the labor market, Fundação Bradesco provides access to the emerging and fast-changing business world.
Preliminary and Continuing Qualification of Workers |
Fundação Bradesco offers on a free of charge basis this mode of education, designed for the needs of update, qualification and re-qualification of workers with different school levels. There are more than 100 options for free courses, presenting flexible programs, in the same track of the labor market conditions, in the following professional areas: Management, Personal Image, (Fashion and Personal Beauty Care), Industry (Electrical, Electronics and Printing Technology), IT, Leisure and Social Development, Tourism and Hospitality (Tourism, Hospitality and Catering Services). In the Agribusiness Area, Fundação Bradesco offers courses which include Artificial Insemination techniques.
225
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 commute to 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 Bradescos philosophy education alone is capable of forming citizens who are participative and aware of their role in society.
Distance Learning Virtual School |
The e-learning Virtual School portal, maintained by Fundação Bradesco since 2001, in partnership with worldwide well-known content providers, enables the spread of service of its 40 Schools to locations out of where they are
placed.
Based on pedagogical mediation concept, in which the student is the main agent of his/her learning, the Virtual School currently offers 184 distance and hybrid education courses in the IT area, benefiting around 165 thousand students and teachers. The portal allows experience, knowledge and information exchange, through online tools, such as chats,
conferences and virtual campus which may comprise more than 150 thousand users.
Digital Inclusion |
Fundação Bradesco promotes fast and easy access to new information technologies to people who live near its schools by means of Digital Inclusion Centers (CIDs).
In addition to be a learning and professional qualification center, by offering short and long-term courses similar to those provided in Fundação Bradesco schools, CIDs also work as a discussion forum of local problems, associated with
companies in partnership with Bradesco Organization, Public Schools, Universities and Brazilian and Foreign Research Centers, such as Universidade de São Paulo USP and Media Lab MIT.
Currently, Fundação counts on 69 Digital Inclusion Centers which provided services to 109 thousand users of different profiles, such as Indians, Afro-descendents, young people, adults, elderly and people living in urban and rural
communities from all regions of Brazil.

The activities for children and young adults in the Specialists Centers, besides sports learning with medical, psychiatric, psychological and nutritional follow-up, comprise regular information on hygiene, stress, adolescence, drug use and teen pregnancy prevention, turning these places into true citizenship centers.
This program also offers, according to categories, a support structure, with benefits such as: life insurance, health care, among others, including sporting material used in training and competitions.
The sports practice, in addition to contributing to a healthy life, is responsible for the formation of high level athletes, enabling the players participation in Finasa/Osascos Adult Volleyball team and in the childrens and junior Brazilian female volleyball and basketball teams.

Message to Stockholders |
Dear Stockholders,
For Bradesco, 2007 was a rewarding year, with new achievements and advances that become more valuable when we see an environment of turbulence and volatility in the international markets. Under this aspect, we can see two different scenarios: on a global scope, the reverberation in the financial markets of the problems in loan management, mainly the mortgage crisis of the United States; and on a domestic scope, the achievement by Brazil of new conditions to reach the investment grade rating, expected for 2008, affirms the stability of the economy.
In this context, large banks, as a whole, and Bradesco, in particular, already holders of this rating, have advanced, year after year, in all senses, in volume of businesses, security, technological improvement, territory scope, transparency, mainly in the support to the economic growth, through the direct financing of the business activity and in the intermediation, in a record volume, of public offerings of stocks, in their majority coming from going public processes, one of the most auspicious indicators of growth trends.
The Net Income for the year once again was the largest of its history, R$8.010 billion. Stockholders received interest on own capital and dividends in the amount of R$2.823 billion, 37.10% of the adjusted result, exceeding the minimum of 30% provided for in the Bylaws. It is important to point out that the contribution of Grupo Bradesco de Seguros e Previdência was significant in the result for the year.
It is worth pointing out that we reached this Income after we destined to public coffers an amount of R$ 6.795 billion in taxes and contributions. Other indicators were also significantly higher than the previous year: total assets, funding, Customer Service
Network, operating efficiency ratio. More than advances, they show the firm trend of continuity of the leadership role of Bradesco in the national private market.
Along with these figures, we can see the significant market value, which, on 12.31.2007, reached R$109.463 billion, a growth of 29.08% on the previous year. This evolution has a higher extension by verifying that 2/3 of the stocks are held by minority stockholders, an evidence of the commitment to the capital markets and a positive factor for their tradeability on the stock exchange.
In the year there were several events that showed the advances of the Organization, such as the conclusion of the construction of the building which will be the new Information Technology Center, with characteristics that will make it one of the worlds most modern centers; the strategic alliance with Banco de Chile, defining new horizons in the activities of fund management; the permanence of Bradesco in Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI), among the 318 best companies of the world in terms of good corporate governance and social-environmental responsibility; and the constitution of a brokerage firm in London. And also the creation of the Bank of the Planet, which will be the convergence center of all actions of Bradesco in the social-environmental responsibility area.
A reason of pride, Fundação Bradesco was considered once again Brazils largest private social-educational project. Contributing to overcome one of the largest needs of the Brazilian society education Fundação Bradesco, with 40 schools distributed throughout Brazil, provided, in its 51 years of existence, free and quality education to more than 2 million students, which, along with distance courses, exceeded 2.5 million assistances.
244
The way how Brazil absorbed, with tranquility, the recent turbulences of the world scenario, a benefit of factors such as sustained economic growth, strong democratic structure, currency stability, interest reduction, control of public accounts, creation of jobs, accumulation of external reserves, expansion of the capital markets and social inclusion programs, supports our conviction that the next years will also be favorable and will produce even better results than the ones recorded so far. That is what the more than 180 million people living in Brazil deserve.
In this scenario and in the frame of prudence that distinguishes all its actions, Bradesco Organization will continue to pursue growth organically or by means of acquisitions or partnerships, maintain an extremely strict control of risks and see in the capital markets an old and more and more promising partnership, to exercise, with ethics, competence and endeavor, the function it has in the generation and distribution of wealth.
We credit to officers, employees and other collaborators the dominant portion of the great results obtained. We thank them, as well as our stockholders and clients, for the support, trust and preference they have distinguished us.

Management Report |
We are pleased to present the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended on December 31, 2007, of Banco Bradesco S.A., pursuant to the Corporate Legislation.
The year of 2007 will be remembered for a strong turbulence and a lot of volatility in the international markets. The uncertainties were increased by the impact of the mortgage and loan crisis in the United States and in Europe on the emerging economies, such as the Brazilian, which resisted in a relatively comfortable manner, inclusively obtaining, in this disturbed environment, an upgrade by Moodys agency, which placed Brazil only one level from the investment grade.
Despite the uncertainties about the global slowdown level already in progress, the behavior of the commodities exported by Brazil was mainly influenced by the large Chinese demand and also by other developing countries. The Brazilian economy had in 2007 a very satisfactory growth, higher than 5%, estimating for 2008 a rate growth similarly above the historical average, around 4.5% . The basis of this growth has been the maintenance of the trust of entrepreneurs and families, in view of a favorable job market and of the preservation of the inflationary stability.
The maintenance of the inflation rate around the target of 4.5% shows that the Central Bank will maintain, for a while, stable interest rates until the global pressures dissipate. Still, the expansion pace of investments continues among the economic sectors, mainly motivated by the perception of the increase in internal demand.
Low inflation, social programs and mainly abundant loan explain the recent growth of the Brazilian retail trade at rates similar to the ones practiced in Asia. Total Brazilian banking loan to individuals should be maintained in satisfactory growth rates higher than 25% in 2008. As for loan to companies, it is estimated a significant growth as they have benefited from an important reduction of bank spreads. Real estate loan is made viable with prefixed operations which reach 30 years, gaining a growing importance in the total bank loan. As a proportion of the GDP, the total banking loan represented around 35% in 2007 and it is estimated to reach something around 41% in 2008. Delinquency, which is under control, keeps historical standards and terms tend to a gradual and consistent extension with higher foreseeability of the economy and the good performance of the job market. The capital markets should increase its role as an important financing channel for companies.
At Bradesco Organization, among the material events in the period, we can highlight:
on August 24, Meeting of merger of all shares representing the Capital Stock of Banco BMC S.A., turning it into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bradesco;

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | (A free translation from the original in Portuguese) |
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. Operations are conducted within the context of the companies comprising the Bradesco Organization, working in an integrated manner in the market.
In this context, on January 23, 2007, Bradesco entered into a Private Instrument of Commitment for Stock Merger and Other Agreements with controlling stockholders of Banco BMC S.A. (BMC), for the acquisition of BMC and its subsidiaries. The operation involved the transfer of 100% of representative stocks of BMCs capital stock to Bradesco, and it was approved by the Brazilian Central Bank (Bacen) on August 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, deducted from the residual amount received in advance.
Accordingly, for preparation purposes, intercompany investments, asset and liability account balances, revenue, expenses and unrealized profit were eliminated from these financial statements, as well as the portions of the net income and the stockholders equity referring to the interest of minority stockholders were highlighted. In the case of investments which are jointly controlled with other stockholders, asset, liability and income components were included in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the percentage capital ownership of each investee. Goodwill on the acquisition of investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled investments has been fully amortized in the period in which the investments acquisition occurred (Note 15a). The exchange variation arising from transactions of foreign branches and subsidiaries was allocated to the statement of income accounts according to the corresponding assets and liabilities from which it was originated.
The financial statements include estimates and assumptions, such as the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, estimation of the fair value of certain financial instruments, provision for contingencies, other provisions, quantification of technical provisions for insurance, supplementary pension plans and certificated savings plans and the determination of the useful life of specific assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Supplementary Information to Financial Statements:
With the purpose of providing supplementary information, we present the cash flow statement by the indirect method and the value added statement, not required by the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and by Bacen up to December 31, 2007, 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, coinsurance and commission premiums, net of premiums assigned in coinsurance and reinsurance and corresponding commissions, are appropriated to results upon effectiveness 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 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 market value. 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 market value 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 market value as a counter-entry to a specific account in stockholders' equity, at amounts net of tax effects; and
Securities held to maturity securities for which there are intention and financial capacity for maintenance in portfolio through to maturity are recorded at acquisition cost, plus income earned, as a counter-entry to income for the period.
281
d) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)
These are classified based on Managements intended use thereof on the date of the operation and whether it was carried out for hedging purposes or not.
The derivative financial instruments, which do not comply with the hedging criteria established by Bacen, particularly derivatives used to manage general exposure to risk, are recorded at market value, with the 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) Managements 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 | B | |
From 31 to 60 days | C | |
From 61 to 90 days | D | |
From 91 to 120 days | E | |
From 121 to 150 days | F | |
From 151 to 180 days | G | |
More than 180 days | H |
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 in memorandum accounts, for at least five years, no longer being recorded in equity accounts.
Renegotiated operations are maintained, at least, with a classification equal to their prior rating. Renegotiated loan operations, already written-off against the provision and which are recorded in memorandum accounts, are classified at H level and the possible revenues derived from their renegotiation are recognized as revenue only when they are effectively received. When there is a significant amortization of the operation or when new material facts justify the risk level change, the operation may be reclassified to a lower risk category.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated in an amount sufficient to cover probable losses and takes into consideration Bacen rules and instructions, connected to assessments carried out by the Management, in the loan risks determination.
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 depreciation excess and mark-to-market adjustments of securities are recorded in Other liabilities Fiscal and social security 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, considering the 30% limit of the actual profit of the reference period. 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.
Provision for income tax is recorded at the base rate of 15% of taxable income, plus 10%. Provision for social contribution is calculated on profit before income tax, considering a 9% rate.
Provisions were recorded for other taxes on income in accordance with specific applicable legislation.
282
g) Prepaid expenses
These record investments of resources in prepayments, whose rights of 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 12b.
Thus, based on the accrual method of accounting and the confrontation between income and expense, incurred costs related to corresponding assets which will generate income in subsequent periods are recorded in prepaid expenses. These assets are appropriated to the income in accordance with terms and amounts of benefits which are expected and directly written-off in the income when corresponding assets and rights are no longer part of the institutions assets or the expected future benefits can not be realized.
h) Investments
The investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled investments and affiliated companies, when relevant, are valuated by the equity accounting method. The financial statements of the foreign branches and subsidiaries are adjusted to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, translated into Reais and their effects recognized in income for the period.
The exchange membership certificates of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) (up to the date of demutualization), and the Custody and Settlement Chamber (Cetip) are evaluated and adjusted at their unaudited book value, informed by the corresponding stock exchanges as counterentry to the account highlighted in the stockholders equity, and fiscal incentives and other investments are recorded at acquisition cost, net of the provision for losses, when applicable.
i) Fixed assets
This is shown at acquisition cost, net of respective accumulated depreciations, calculated by the straight-line method according to the estimated useful-economic life of assets of which: real estate in use 4% p.a.; furnishings and fixtures, machinery and equipment 10% p.a.; transport systems 20% p.a.; and data processing systems 20% to 50% p.a.
j) Deferred assets
Deferred assets are recorded at acquisition or formation cost, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization at 20% per annum, calculated on the straight-line method.
Goodwill in the acquisition of investments in subsidiaries and shared-control subsidiaries, based on future profitability expectation, with amortization of 10% to 20% per year, was recorded in deferred assets until June 30, 2006. The goodwill related to June 30, 2006 was reviewed by Management Bodies and fully amortized in 3Q06, as well as the goodwill verified in the acquisition of investment in subsidiaries, in 2007, 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. 162/2006.
Insurance of basic lines, life and health
The provision of unearned premiums (PPNG) 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 provisions insufficiency is ascertained by means of actuarial calculation, the Provision of Premium Insufficiency will be formed.
The provision of claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) is calculated on an actuarial basis to quantify the amount of claims incurred and not reported by those insured/beneficiaries. The provision is established net of recoveries of co-insurance and re-insurance.
The provision of unsettled claims is established based on the estimates of payments of indemnities, net of recoveries of co-insurance and re-insurance, pursuant to notices of claims received from those insured until the balance sheet date. The provision is monetarily restated and includes all the claims under litigation.
283
The supplementary premium provision (PCP) is recorded monthly to complement PPNG, considering the effective risks issued or not. The value of the PCP is the difference, if positive, between the average of the sum of the PPNG values verified daily and the recorded PPNG;
Other Technical Provisions refer to the provision to face the differences of future readjustments of premiums and those required for the technical balance of the individual health plan portfolio, adopting a formulation with Actuarial Technical Note approved by ANS.
Supplementary private pension plans and life insurance covering survival
The mathematical provision of benefits to be granted refers to participants whose benefits have not started yet. The mathematical provision of benefits granted refers to participants already using the benefits. Mathematical provisions related to private pension plans known as traditional represent the difference between the current value of the future benefits and the current value of the future contributions, corresponding to the obligations assumed under the form of retirement plans, disability, pension and savings funds. They are calculated according to the methodology and premises set forth in Actuarial Technical Notes. The provisions linked to life insurance covering survival (VGBL) and to the private pension plans of the unrestricted benefits generating (PGBL) category represent the amount of the contributions made by the participants, net of loadings and other contractual charges, plus financial earnings generated by the investment of resources in investment funds specially established (FIEs).
The contribution insufficiency provision is constituted to complement the mathematical provisions of benefits to be granted and granted, should they not be sufficient to guarantee future commitments. The provision is calculated on an actuarial basis and takes into consideration the actuarial table AT.2000 (mitigated).
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 constituted for each active or suspended security during the term estimated in the General Conditions of the plan. It is calculated according to the methodology set forth in the Actuarial Technical Notes approved by Susep.
The provisions for redemptions are established 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 notes to the financial statements (Note 18a);
Contingent Liabilities: they are established taking into consideration the opinion of the legal advisors, the nature of the lawsuits, the similarity with previous processes, the complexity and positioning of Courts, whenever the loss is evaluated as probable, what would cause a probable outflow of resources for the settlement of liabilities and when the amounts involved are measurable with enough safety. The contingent liabilities classified as possible losses are not recognized on an accounting basis, and they must only be disclosed in the notes, when individually relevant, and those classified as remote do not require provision nor disclosure (Notes 18b and 18c); and
Legal Liabilities Tax and Social Security: they result from judicial proceedings related to tax liabilities, whose purpose of contestation is their legality or constitutionality, which, regardless of the evaluation about the probability of success, have their amounts fully recognized in the financial statements (Note 18b).
n) Other assets and liabilities
The assets are stated at their realizable amounts, including, when applicable, related income and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis), and provision for loss, when deemed appropriate. The liabilities include known or estimated amounts, plus related charges and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis).

(1) For comparison purposes with the criterion adopted by Bacen Circular no. 3068 and due to securities characteristics, we are considering the derivative financial instruments under the category Trading Securities;
(2) These refer to
investment funds and managed portfolios 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 maturitys category. This financial capacity is evidenced in Note 32a, which presents the maturities of asset and liability operations on the reference date of December 31,
2007. On June 30, 2007, R$8,321,604 thousand was transferred from Securities Available for Sale to Securities held to Maturity, due to the managements intention as to its realization;
(5) The number of days to maturity
was based on the maturity of the securities, regardless of their accounting classification;
(6) This column reflects book value subsequent to mark-to-market according to item (7), except for securities held to maturity, whose market value is higher
than the restated cost value in the amount of R$1,246,211 thousand (September 30, 2007 R$1,425,854 thousand and December 31, 2006 R$998,798 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 price quotations for instruments with similar characteristics;
in case of investment funds, the restated cost reflects the market value of respective quotas.
e) Derivative financial instruments
Bradesco carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments, which are recorded in equity 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$1,251,168 thousand (September 30, 2007 R$1,191,596 thousand and December 31, 2006 R$1,157,601 thousand) based on appraisal reports prepared by independent experts in 2007, 2006 and 2005.
The fixed assets to stockholders equity ratio, in relation to economic-financial consolidated reference stockholders equity is 14.46% (September 30, 2007 14.72% and December 31, 2006 12.23%), and the financial consolidated basis is 45.81% (September 30, 2007 48.94% and December 31, 2006 48.01%), within the maximum 50% limit.
The difference between the fixed assets to stockholders equity ratio of the economic-financial consolidated and of the financial consolidated derives from the existence of non-financial subsidiaries which have high liquidity and 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 reorganization between the financial and non-financial companies, thus allowing the improvement of that ratio.

18) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and legal Liabilities Tax and Social Security
a) Contingent Assets
Contingent assets are 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$359,410 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 deemed unconstitutional by the Federal Supreme Court; and
Social Integration Program - (PIS) R$51,503 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 positioning of Courts, whenever loss is deemed probable.
315
Bradescos 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. In the proceedings requiring judicial deposit, the amount of the labor claims is recorded considering the effective perspective of loss of these deposits. For the other proceedings, the provision is recorded based on the average value determined by the total payments made of the claims ended in the last 12 months, considering the year of the determination of judicial deposits.
Following the effective control over working hours implemented in 1992, via electronic time cards, overtime is paid regularly during the employment contract and accordingly, claims on an individual basis subsequent to 1997 substantially reduced its amounts.
II Civil lawsuits
These are claims for pain and suffering and property damages, mainly protests, bounced checks, the inclusion of information about debtors in the restricted credit registry and the reposition of inflation rates excluded as a result of economic plans. These lawsuits are individually controlled and provisioned whenever the loss is evaluated as probable, considering the opinion of the legal advisors, the nature of the lawsuits, similarity with previous lawsuits, complexity and positioning of Courts.
The issues discussed in the lawsuits usually are not events that cause a representative impact on the financial results. Most of these lawsuits are brought at the Special Civil Court (JEC), in which the requests are limited to 40 minimum wages. Moreover, approximately 50% of JECs lawsuits are judged unfounded and the amount of the condemnation imposed corresponds to the historical average of only 5% of the total amount claimed.
It is worth pointing out the increase in claims pleading the incidence of inflation rates which were excluded as a result of the savings accounts balance correction due to Economic Plans (specially Bresser and Verão Economic Plans), although the Bank had complied with the legal requirements in force at the time.
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 Banks 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:
Cofins R$1,715,595 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$1,296,498 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;
IRPJ/Credit Losses - R$574,742 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 2006, 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;
INSS Autonomous Brokers R$535,625 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;
CSLL R$480,051 thousand: it pleads the non-collection of CSLL of the reference years from 1996 to 1998, years in which some companies of Bradesco Organization did not have employees, once the subsection I, article 195, of the Federal Constitution provides for that this contribution is only due by employers; and
PIS R$250,098 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$161,276 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 proceeding was ratified by Bacen on March 15, 2007.
The Special Stockholders Meeting held on August 24, 2007 resolved on a R$789,559 thousand increase in the capital stock, raising it from R$18,000,000 thousand to R$18,789,559 thousand by means of the issuance of 18,599,132 new stocks, all non-par registered, book-entry stocks, 9,299,618 of which are common stocks and 9,299,514 are preferred stocks, due to the merger of the totality of stocks representing BMCs capital stock by Bradesco, in the proportion of 0.086331545 fraction of Bradescos stocks for each of BMCs, granted to BMCs former stockholders, of which 0.043166014 is a fraction of common stock and 0.043165531 of preferred stock, changing BMC into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bradesco.

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 Bradescos 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 Bradescos 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.
Bradescos 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 Companys Bylaws.
The Board of Directors Meeting held on February 7, 2007 resolved on the approval of the Board of Executive Officers proposal to increase by 10% the amount of the monthly interest on own capital paid to stockholders in advance pursuant to the monthly compensation system, raising it from R$0.032775000 to R$0.036052500, related to common stocks, and from R$0.036052500 to R$ 0.039657750, referring to preferred stocks, to become effective as from the interest on own capital referring to March 2007 paid on April 2, 2007, benefiting the stockholders who were registered at the Companys records as of March 1, 2007.
The stocks resulting from the bonus resolved at the Special General Meeting held on March 12, 2007 are entitled to monthly dividends and/or interest on own capital, and, occasionally, supplementary dividends declared after March 23, 2007, but did not entail an increase in the distribution of the latter, as they aim solely at improving their liquidity. Thus, the amount of monthly interest on own capital, declared after March 23, 2007, was adjusted, decreasing from R$0.036052500 to R$0.018026250 per common stock, and from R$0.039657750 to R$0.019828875 per preferred stock, so that stockholders continue to receive an equal amount of interest on own capital.
At a meeting held on June 27, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the Board of Executive Officers proposal for the payment of interim dividends corresponding to 1H07 to stockholders, at the amount of R$0.153223130 per common stock and R$0.168545440 per preferred stock, whose payment was made on July 23, 2007.
At the Special Meeting of the Board of Directors held on December 28, 2007 resolved to approve the Board of Executive Officers proposal for the payment of supplementary interest on own capital related to 2007, in the amount of R$0.536962584 (net of tax R$0.456418196) per common stock and R$0.590658842 (net of tax R$0.502060016) per preferred stock, to be paid on March 17, 2008. In complement to the interest on own capital of the year, the dividends distribution was proposed, in the amount of R$850,000 thousand, at the ratio of R$0.401017613 per common stock and R$0.441119374 per preferred stock to be paid on March 17, 2008, at the declared amount, not occurring Withholding Income Tax, pursuant to Article 10 of Law no. 9249/95.

In addition, efforts, focused on the use of advanced standards of risk measurement and on the ongoing improvement of processes, have reflected on loan portfolio quality and performance, in both results and strength, in the different scenarios in the past and future.
326

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 December 31, 2007, September 30, 2007 and December 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, specially to 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.

35) Other Information
a) Bradesco Organization manages investment funds and portfolios, whose net equity on December 31, 2007 amount to R$177,486,660 thousand (September 30, 2007 R$167,586,946 thousand and December 31, 2006 R$147,107,803 thousand).
b) The Special Stockholders Meeting held on January 4, 2008 resolved to increase the capital stock by R$1,200,000 thousand, by means of the issuance of 27,906,977 new stocks, all non-par registered, book-entry stocks, 13,953,489 of which are common stocks and 13,953,488 are preferred stocks, at the price of R$43.00 per stock, by means of the private subscription by stockholders from January 22 to February 22, 2008, in the proportion of 1.382441029% on the stock position which each one had on the date of the meeting. The payment will be in cash and will occur on March 17, 2008 in 100% of the amount of subscribed stocks in the same date of the payment of supplementary interest on own capital and declared dividends; the cancellation of 2,246,224 non-par registered book-entry stocks, with 827,700 common stocks and 1,417,524 preferred stocks in treasury, representing its own capital stock, without reduction.
c) On December 28, 2007, Law no. 11,638/07 was published, which amends the Corporation Law, as to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as of the fiscal year which will end on 12.31.2008.
According to the new Law, the issuance of accounting standards by CVM to publicly-held companies shall be made in compliance with international standards. In a notice to the market, with its preliminary understanding, CVM informs that the standards adopted by IASB International Accounting Standards Board are currently considered as an international reference for accounting standards.
A representative portion of the main amendments promoted by the Law are already substantially adopted by the Bank and its subsidiaries (i) voluntarily, as in the case of the presentation of the Statements of Cash Flows and of the Statement of Value Added, or (ii) due to the requirements of Bacen and Susep, for the adoption of the classification and mark-to-market criterion of the financial instruments (Notes 3 (c) (d) and (8).
It is expected that other amendments or legal previsions are the purpose of regulation by Bacen, Susep and CVM, during 2008, considering the scope of each regulatory body. At the moment, the Bank is promoting studies and evaluation of the impacts of this new Law, including with the support of the representative entities of the sector to, subsequently, measure the effects of the changes of accounting practices. Among the main changes promoted by the law, we point out:
Permanent assets start comprising the subgroup Intangible assets and include, formally, the rights that have as purpose incorporeal assets destined to the maintenance of the company or exercised with this purpose, including the acquired goodwill. Fixed assets start including assets resulting from operations where there is transfer of benefits, control and risk, regardless of having transfer of property. Deferred assets are restricted to pre-operating expenses and to increasing restructuring expenses;
Creation of a new subgroup in the stockholders equity called Equity Evaluation Adjustment, destined to register the counterentry of the exchange variation of corporate investments abroad when the functional currency of the investee is different from the functional currency of the parent company, and in counterparty of increases and decreases of amounts attributed to elements from assets and liabilities, as a result of its market price evaluation;
Introduction of the concept of Adjustment to Present Value for the long-term assets and liabilities operations to short-term relevant operations;
Obligatoriness of the periodical analysis to verify the recovery level of amounts recorded in fixed assets, intangible assets and deferred charges;
Change of treatment of tax incentives, which starts to transit by the result, subjecting its allocation to profit reserves reserve of tax incentives and excluded from the base of minimum mandatory dividends; and
In the operations of incorporation, merger or spin-off (combination of companies) all assets and liabilities of the company subject to incorporation, merger or spin-off shall be identified, evaluated and accounted for at market value, as long as carried out between non-related parties and subject to the effective transfer of control.
Management estimates in its initial evaluation that the changes above will not cause material effects in the financial statements of the Bank as of 12.31.2008, however, at the moment and in this circumstances, it is not practicable to determine with security the effects of the full adopted of the new law.
d) The Provisional Measure (MP) no. 413, as of January 3, 2008, increased the rate of the Social Contribution on the Net Income CSLL of the financial sector from 9% to 15% of the taxable income. Once it is approved, it will increase expenses related to the Social Contribution on the net income generated as of May 1, 2008, as well as increase the deferred tax asset, proportionally to the increase in the rate (Note 34 (d)).
By means of Decrees nos. 6,339 and 6,345 both of 2008, the rate of the Tax on Credit, Exchange and Insurance Operations, or those related to Securities IOF, was changed, producing effect as of 01.04.2008. As it is a tax replacement, the Bank has only the responsibility to make the retention and the payment of the referred tax.
