Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

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


Risk Factors

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

Risks Relating to Brazil

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

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

In the past, the Brazilian Government has often changed monetary, fiscal, taxation and other policies to influence the course of Brazil’s economy. We have no control over, and cannot predict, what measures or policies the Brazilian government may take in response to the current or future situation of the Brazilian economy or how the Brazilian government intervention and government policies will affect the Brazilian economy and, both directly and indirectly, our operations and revenues.

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

Brazil has underwent extremely high inflation rates in the past, with annual rates (IGP – DI from Getulio Vargas Foundation) during the last fifteen years reaching as high as 1.158% in 1992, 2.708% in 1993 and 1.093% in 1994. More recently, Brazil’s inflation rates were 26.4% in 2002, 7.7% in 2003 and 12.1% in 2004. Inflation itself and governmental measures to combat it have had in past years significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy. Inflation, actions taken to combat inflation and public speculation about possible future actions have also contributed to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian marketable securities markets. If Brazil suffers a period of high inflation in the future, our costs may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor’s confidence lags, the price of our stocks and ADSs may drop. Inflationary pressures may also curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and may lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of government policies that may adversely affect the overall performance of the Brazilian economy.

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

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

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

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

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

Risks Relating to Bradesco and the Brazilian Banking and Insurance Industries

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

Brazilian banks and insurance companies, including our banking and insurance operations, are subject to extensive and continuous regulatory review by the Brazilian Government. We have no control over government regulations, which govern all facets of our operations, including the imposition of minimum capital requirements, compulsory deposits, lending limits and other loan restrictions. The regulatory structure governing Brazilian banks and insurance companies is continuously evolving. Existing laws and regulations could be amended, the manner in which laws and regulations are enforced or interpreted could change, and new laws or regulations could be adopted. Such changes could materially adversely affect our operations and our results.

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

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

We face significant competition in all of our principal areas of operation from other large Brazilian banks and insurance companies, public and private. Brazilian regulations raise limited barriers to market entry and do not differentiate between local or foreign commercial and investment banks and insurance companies. As a result, the presence of foreign banks and insurance companies in Brazil, some of which have greater resources than we do, has grown and competition both in the banking and insurance sectors. The privatization of publicly owned banks has also made the Brazilian markets for banking and other financial services more competitive. The increased competition may negatively affect our business results and prospects by, among other things, limiting our ability to increase our customer base and expand our operations, reducing our profit margins on the banking, insurance, leasing and other services and products we offer; and increasing competition for foreign investment opportunities.

Furthermore, additional publicly-owned banks and insurance companies may be privatized in the future. The acquisition of a bank or insurance company in a privatization process or otherwise 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) A majority of our common stocks are held by two stockholders, whose interests may conflict with other investors’ interests

On June 30, 2005 Cidade de Deus – Companhia Comercial de Participações, which we call “Cidade de Deus Participações”, directly held 48.19% of our common stocks and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 45.42% 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.

Profitability

Bradesco’s net income reached R$ 2,621 million in 1H05, which corresponds to a 109.7% growth when compared to same period of previous year. The stockholders’ equity of Bradesco amounted to R$ 17,448 million on June 30, 2005, equivalent to a 27.8% increase when compared to balance of 2004. As a result, the annualized return on stockholders’ equity (ROE) reached 32.3% . Consolidated total assets reached R$ 194,542 million at the end of June 2005, up 10.4% when compared to the balances for same date of previous year. The annualized return on total assets (ROA) in the first six months of 2005 was 2.7% . Earnings per stock reached R$ 5.34.

In 2Q05, net income was R$ 1,416 million, which represents an increase of R$ 211 million, or 17.5%, when compared to 1Q05 figures. The annualized return on stockholders’ equity (ROE) reached 36.6% in the quarter and return on total assets (ROA) was 2.9% .

The 2Q05 was marked by a good performance of revenues composing the Financial Margin, mainly due to better results in the interest line, which reached the amount of R$ 3,580 million, representing a growth of R$ 300 million, compared to the previous quarter, basically as a result of the expansion in business volumes, which is directly connected with the sustained maintenance of the economic activity. The non-interest line, in turn, reached the amount of R$ 775 million, an increase of R$ 56 million, principally due to: (i) R$ 400 million, part of income from derivatives used for hedge effects of investments abroad, that simply annulled the tax effect (Income Tax/Social Contribution and PIS/COFINS) in net income of this hedge strategy; offset by: (ii) lower TVM and treasury gains of R$ 17 million in 2Q05; and (iii) the positive result verified in the partial sale of our stake in Belgo-Mineira, in the amount of R$ 327 million in 1Q05. Also deserves highlight the evolution of Revenues from Services Rendered, up 6.0% when compared to 1Q05, in which revenues from loan operations and income on cards stood out.

Another important contribution in 2Q05 was a R$ 312 million raise in the Operating Income on Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bonds, mainly due to the recording in 1Q05 of extraordinary allowance in the Individual Health portfolio, in the amount of R$ 324 million to set out the leveling of premiums for those insured above 60 years of age and for fully settled plans whose holders are still entitled to their benefits (“planos remidos”).

The current environment of improvement in loan portfolio, associated with our ongoing selectiveness in the loan granting policy, resulted in an improved portfolio of risk ratings, with AA-to-C rated credits totaling 92.6% of the total portfolio, against 92.5% in 1Q05. This performance, connected with the evolution observed in loan portfolio’s volume, resulted in the record of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts in the amount of R$ 562 million in 2Q05, with Allowance for Doubtful Accounts reaching the level of R$ 4,450 million on June 30, 2005.

Operating Efficiency Ratio in the 12-month period comprised between July 1, 2004 until June 30, 2005 was of 48.1%, improving by 4.6 percentage points when compared to the 12-month period ended on March 31,2005, principally as a result of the combination of strict expense control with the revenue growth in this period.

As a result of all these efforts, the Expanded Coverage Ratio [(revenues from services rendered/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses)] increased from 68.8% in 1Q05 to 70.8% in 2Q05.

Bradesco PN (BBDC4) x Ibovespa – Appreciation Index – in percentage


Stock Performance

Bradesco’s preferred stocks had a 31.2% appreciation in the 1H05 if we consider the closing price of the last business day of the period, while Ibovespa decreased 4.4% . This good performance is believed to be due to the combination of positive factors that influenced the sector during the period, such as the maintenance of Selic interest rate at high levels, the expansion of individuals’ loan portfolio and the control of default levels.

Furthermore, the change in the profitability level and the market perception that such results are sustainable caused a positive impact on the stocks, as a result of the efforts to control costs and expand the revenue base.

1,221    353    (71.1) 358    (5)   – 
           
The decreased expense is mostly due to: (i) exchange loss variation of 11.5% in 1H05, against an exchange gain variation of 7.6% in 1H04, impacting on foreign currency indexed and/or denominated loans and onlendings operations, which account for 45.2% of the Loan and Onlendings Portfolio; and partially offset by: (ii) increased average interest rates, observing the 8.9% CDI variation in 1H05, against 7.6% in 1H04.

The increased expense of R$ 122 includes the preventive formation of PDD over the loans granted to a large utilities concessionaire, in the amount of R$ 166 in 1H05. If this effect is excluded, a R$ 44 reduction in expenses would be observed, even with the 19.5% increase recorded in the loan portfolio. This performance is an effect of the continuous selectivity and improvement of tools/instruments used in the granting, recovery and management of loan portfolio, coupled with the recovery of the Brazilian economy, reflecting in the quality of our loan portfolio. In June/04 and June/05, our portfolio classified between AA and C ratings accounted for 91.3% and 92.6%, respectively, of total portfolio. 
Excluding the preventive formation of PDD over the loans granted to a large utilities concessionaire, in 1Q05, in the amount of R$ 166, we verify an increase in expense of R$ 93, which is consistent with the growth of average volume of loan portfolio.

(1,123)   (1,373)   22.3  (745)   (628)   (15.7)
           
The variation was due to the increase in pension plans redemptions and also to the characteristics of PGBL plans, allowing the participant to redeem at any time, observing the grace period, in addition to the change in redemption withholding income tax, which also led to the transfer of redemptions that would occur in 4Q04 to be carried out in 1Q05. 
The variation of this item resulted from the strong concentration of redemptions requests in 2Q05, related to the change in redemption withholding income tax, which also led to the transfer of redemptions that would occur in 4Q04 to be carried out in 1Q05.

Financial Market Indicators


Analysis of Financial Margin

The Financial Margin, under the terms of BACEN Regulation, in periods compared, includes the income earned in the sale of our stake in Belgo-Mineira’s capital stock in 1Q05, as well as the partial income on derivatives used for hedge effect of investments abroad, which, simply annulled the tax effect (Income Tax/Social Contribution and PIS/COFINS) in Net Income of such hedge strategy. This tax effect is triggered by the fact that exchange variation is not deductible when losses are verified and is not taxable when gains are recognized. On the other hand, the earnings from derivative instruments are taxable when gains occur and deductible when losses occur. Therefore, gross income from hedge is reflected in Financial Margin, under the line “Derivative Financial Instruments”, and its respective taxes are reflected under the lines “Tax Expenses” and “Income Tax and Social Contribution”, as follows:

In 2Q05, the adjusted financial margin reached R$ 3,946 million, a 7.7% growth when compared to R$ 3,663 million in 1Q05. By comparing 1H05 with same period of previous year, the growth was 18.7%, reaching R$ 7,609 million and R$ 6,411 million, respectively.

The improvement in the adjusted Financial Margin of R$ 1,198 million in 1H05, compared to 1H04, results from increase in (i) interest income of R$ 924 million, caused by higher business volumes and (ii) non-interest income of R$ 274 million, mainly as a result of higher gains from Securities Portfolio (TVM) and Treasury.

When compared to the previous quarter, the variation is due to: (i) a R$ 300 million increase in interest income, basically composed of higher business volumes; and (ii) the R$ 17 million drop in non-interest income.

This result shows the good performance and a sustainable growth of Bradesco Conglomerate’s financial margin during this period, based on the diversification of business and growth in market niches with better returns and controlled risks. Higher volume of business also contributes to the financial margin increment, emphasizing, especially, the loan operations.

It is worth to take into account that the balance of loan operations was negatively influenced by foreign exchange variation over the past twelve months and also in 2Q05, due to the fact that part of the portfolio is indexed by foreign currency and during these periods, the U.S. dollar dropped 24.4% and 11.8%, respectively, against the real.

The loan destined to individuals offset the negative impact of foreign exchange variation and stood out as the segment that presented the largest growth of operations, considering the 50.6% evolution recorded between June 2004 and June 2005. Only in 2Q05, the segment grew 13.1%. Below are listed the major factors contributing to the evolvement of loan operations of this segment:

– recent partnerships made by Bradesco with retailers for the granting of consumer loan.

– growth of consigned loan operations with deduction from payroll, including partnership with other banks.

– increase in the individuals’ checking accounts base of 330 thousand in 2Q05 and 675 thousand between December 2004 and June 2005.

– acquisition of Banco Morada’s consumer financing network in April 2005 through Finasa Promotora de Vendas. It is worth mentioning that this last event has not fully contributed to financial margin result, which should occur over the next periods, since the operations started on April 15, 2005, i.e., with a less than two-month impact on results.

The increment of individuals operations within the Organization attests the efficiency of strategy and positioning adopted by Bradesco in market niches, with a view to better rates and spread.

Hence, the adjusted financial margin average rate, which reflects the income compared to the total average assets, reached 8.2% in 1H05, against 7.6% in 1H04, accounting for a 0.6 percentage point increase. In the quarterly analysis, it reached 8.4% in 2Q05, compared to 8.0% in 1Q05, a 0.4 percentage point

Revenues from Services Rendered increased 27.0% in 1H05, or R$ 727 million when compared to 1H04, totaling R$ 3.421 billion. The expansion in business volume over the last 12 months, directly linked to a sustained economic recovery activity, was the main reason for the growth in the “Revenues from Loan Operations”, up by R$ 245 million. The tariff realignment and client base growth boosted the “Checking Accounts”, up by R$ 167 million. The 22.3% expansion in the volume of managed assets was the main factor for the growth in “Asset Management”, which increased by R$ 82 million, from R$ 88.7 billion on June 30, 2004 to R$ 108.5 billion on June 30, 2005. The 22.7% growth on “Cards” over the comparison between first half of 2004 and 2005, represented by the rise of R$ 110 million, is directly related to the increase of 11.5% in the cards base, from 43.5 million to 48.5 million.

When compared to 1Q05, Revenues from Services Rendered showed an expansion of 6.0% with a R$ 99 million growth, as a result of the increase in the client base and in business volumes in 2Q05, pointing out evolutions of 13.0%, 4.8%, 7.9% and 18.2% under the items “Loan Operations”, “Cards”, “Tax Payment”, “Tax Collection” and up by R$ 37 million, R$ 14 million, R$ 13 million and R$ 8 million, respectively.

In 1H05, the Administrative and Personnel Expenses remained practically stable when compared to the same period last year, reaching R$ 4,899 million against R$ 4,835 million in 1H04 due to successful efforts in controlling administrative expenses. The nominal change in Administrative Expenses, between the 1H04 and 1H05, shows a slight increase of R$ 8 million, reaching the amount of R$ 2,432 million. However, if we attribute an adjustment index according to the average inflation of the period, of 7.2%, the real decrease would have been of R$ 159 million. Personnel Expenses presented a slight raise of R$ 56 million when compared to 1H04, reaching R$ 2,467 million, mainly due to: (i) the payroll increase resulted from the collective bargaining agreement (8.5%) in September/04 – R$ 228 million; (ii) higher employee profit sharing expenses – R$ 58 million; offset by: (iii) lower employment contract termination expenses and provisions for labor claims, R$ 66 million; and (iv) reduction in personnel expenses, related to the synergies obtained in administrative processes, in the amount of R$ 165 million.

When compared to 1Q05, Administrative and Personnel Expenses increased R$ 73 million, down by 3.0%, from R$ 2,413 million in 1Q05 to R$ 2,486 million in 2Q05. Administrative Expenses increased R$ 48 million, higher variations occurred in the items “Third Party Services” and “Advertising and Publicity”, growing R$ 26 million and R$ 17 million, respectively. Increase in “Third Party Services” expenses is basically due to the growth in business volumes, as well as investments in the improvement and optimization of IT (information technology) platform, while the increase in “Advertising and Publicity” expenses is basically due to the launching of new campaign “Bradescompleto”. Personnel Expenses were influenced by lower expenses volume in 1Q05, as a result of usual concentration of vacation in this period of R$ 45 million. In addition, the 2Q05 was impacted by: (i) lower labor allowance expenses of R$ 21 million; (ii) higher investment in employees training, in the amount of R$ 8 million; (iii) higher employee profit sharing expenses in the amount of R$ 12 million; and (iv) lower employment contracts termination expenses, in the amount of R$ 14 million. Excluding these effects, we verify a “structural” reduction in expenses in the amount of R$ 6 million in the quarter.

Operating Efficiency 
 

The Operating Efficiency Ratio (accumulated for the 12-month period) for 2Q05, was of 48.1%, down by 4.6% as compared to 2004, mainly as a result of the successful efforts in controlling administrative expenses, pointing out that administrative and personnel expenses remained practically steady, despite the combination of increase in business volume with average inflation (IGP-M/IPCA), of 7.2% over the past 12 months allied with the efforts to increasing revenues, pointing higher financial margin in the amount of R$ 1,272 million, as a result of combination of increase in business volume with higher TVM and treasury gains in 2Q05 with an increase in revenues from services rendered, in the amount of R$ 385 million, as a result of increased customer base with improved cross-selling index. It is worth pointing out that part of the increase financial margin of R$ 1,272 million include R$ 409, which is part of derivatives used for hedge effect of investments abroad, which in terms of net income, simply annulled the tax effect of this hedge strategy in the period. This negative tax effect is directly reflected on the item “Income Tax and Social Contribution”, which is not considered in the calculation of the Operating Efficiency Ratio. If we disregard this part of derivatives in the calculation basis of Operating Efficiency Ratio, we would reach an index of 49.0%, with a drop of 3.7% percentage points compared to March 2005.

If we also exclude the Operating Efficiency Ratio from the calculation basis, the goodwill amortization expenses over the past 12 months, in the amount of R$ 585 million, we would have a drop of 1.4 percentage points, from 49.0% to 47.6%.

The Amplified Coverage Ratio [revenue from services rendered/(personnel expenses + administrative expenses)] improved from 68.8% in 1Q05 to 70.8% in 2Q05, as shown in the graph below:

Administrative Expenses + Personnel and Revenues from Services Rendered


Among other results, through the use of Activity-Based Costing methodology (ABC), the Bradesco Organization is enhancing the criteria used to formulate and negotiate bank tariffs, the supply of costing information to GDAD (Performance and Decision Making Support Management) and for customer profitability determination purposes, as well as establishing a reliable basis for ongoing rationalization analyses.

As regards cost control practices, Bradesco adopts ABM (Activity-Based Management) methodology, a pro-active approach which allows for rapid evolution, including the identification of opportunities on a timely basis. Accordingly, in line with the improvement of processes, operating performance is seamlessly integrated with strategic objectives.

The strict control of expenses, enhanced with the establishment of the Expenditure Assessment Committee in March 2004, coupled with the successful synergy obtained from the Institutions acquired, are being positively reflected on the Operating Efficiency Ratio.

Classification of Marketable Securities by Segment – in percentage

N.B.: the Breakdown of Marketable Securities Portfolio consolidated by issuer, maturity, business segment and by category can be found in the Note 10.

Loan Operations 
 

The consolidated balance of loan operations at the end of 1H05 reached a total of R$ 69.8 billion, up by 11.1% in the 1H05 and by 19.5% in the last twelve months.

As in 2004, the most important highlight concerning Bradesco’s loan portfolio growth was again guided by operations for individuals, mainly related to the consumer sales financing and personal credit. In the corporate segment, grantings remained concentrated in lines concerned with meeting the working capital and foreign trade needs, not observing a significant demand for long-term financings, focused on increasing the productive capacity and infrastructure.

For the next half of the year, our expectations are directed to a growth of the loan portfolio, coupled with the maintenance of the expansion of consumer sales financing, whether due to existing restrained demand, or in view of agreements made with various retailers, besides the seasonality, which is typical over the past months of the year. In addition, in the corporate scope, we expect a higher volume of operations concerned with foreign trade financing, regardless of current foreign exchange parity, since main Brazilian exporters are more and more focused on long-term commercial strategies, aiming at effectively conquering greater participation in the international market.

63


Loan Operations – Total Portfolio

Loan for individuals continued to lead the growth of the portfolio in the 1H05, recording an increase of 26.7% in the period, accumulating 50.6% over the last twelve months, as an effect of recovery of the economic activity encouraging higher consumer and durable goods financing, assisted by a growth in the consigned loan market and also by recent partnerships established by Bradesco, which included not only the acquisition of consumer financing portfolios, as well as the direct financing to our partners’ clients.

Loan Operations – per Type of Client


On the other hand, the behavior of loan granted to companies continued to show a more moderate performance (3.2% in 1H05 and 5.8% over the past 12 months), especially between large corporations, influenced by higher utilization of other types of funding operations from the capital markets and the solid appreciation of real versus U.S. dollar, with a high impact on foreign currency-indexed portfolios, which despite having shown a solid growth of businesses in the period, these were not reflected on a nominal basis over the portfolio, due to fall in U.S. dollar price.

64


Loan Portfolio – per Business Segment

In the wake of the higher increase in the individuals segment operations, its relative participation in the loan portfolio was meaningful in the period, already representing, in June 2005, 38.5% of the total portfolio compared to 30.5% observed in June 2004.

The performance strategy developed up to now, focused on retail, has been allowing the enlargement of businesses in different client profiles, both individuals (especially automobile financing lines, personal loan, and consigned loan) and micro, small and medium-sized companies through the expansion of borrowings and cashing of drafts, basically destined to supply the demand for working capital. Another benefit resulting from this process were both the diversification in terms of client profile and the change in the mix of the assets profile.

Loan Portfolio Quality

Similarly to the income reached in 2004, the 1H05 kept the bias of progressive and constant improvement in the loan portfolio profile, resulting in a higher contribution from credits under the “AA – C” ratings, amounting to 92.6% of total balance, compared to 92.3% in December 2004.

The total volume of the allowance for doubtful accounts presented a slight decrease in 1H05, reaching R$ 4,450 million in percentage terms in relation to the total loan portfolio (6.6% in December 2004 to 6.4% in June 2005) as a result of improved quality of the loan portfolio mentioned above.

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

66


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

We verify in the chart above that for a total allowance of 7.2% of the loan portfolio in June 2004, the loss over the next twelve months was 3.3% of the portfolio, i.e., the allowance existing in June 2004 showed to be more than sufficient to cover losses occurred in the subsequent period.

Overdue operations with final rating between E and H, important portfolio quality index, have been showing a downward trend as percentage of loan portfolio, demonstrating the solidity of methodology for recording of allowance.

It is worth pointing out that over the past years, we have been observed a great adherence between behavior of overdue loan classified between E and H final ratings and the volume of losses incurred in 12 subsequent months, as we can see in the chart above.

Loan Portfolio Profile

Breakdown of the Normal Course Loan Portfolio by Maturity – R$ million


The maturity of the normal course loan portfolio also shows a concentration of short-term operations, with 37.9% maturing in up to 90 days. However, the prior 12 months indicate a gradual lengthening of loan operation average terms, as a result of the growth of higher medium term portfolios, such as car financing and personal loan in the total loan assets.

67



Movement of Loan Portfolio between June 2004 and 2005 – R$ million

The performance of the consolidated loan portfolio over the past twelve months up to June 2005 ratifies an ongoing bias of improvement in the quality of the assets, pointing out the adequacy and convenience of the credit rating instruments used in Bradesco's credit granting process.

Demand Deposits – R$ billion

Checking Accounts
 

The balance of Checking Accounts at Bradesco Organization closed 1H05 at R$ 14.9 billion.

In compliance with the Brazilian Central Bank’s rules, we implemented in June 2005 an automated system to meet judicial orders for locking, unlocking or transfer of locked amounts to other banks. The process is a pilot-operation with two judges. We estimate release to others in 2H05.

In conformity with policy for a continuous improvement in products and services, we optimized the process of account statements on behalf of legal entities, eliminating models and standardizing the periodicity of issuance via mail, resulting in savings in the amount of R$ 7.2 million/year.

Savings Accounts 
 

The balance of Bradesco Organization Savings Accounts totaled R$ 24.5 billion in deposits at the end of 1H05, corresponding to a 19.2% market share of the Brazilian Savings and Loan System (SBPE) and secured the leadership of Bradesco among all private banks in the National Financial System.

The first half of the year is atypical for the savings industry, since between January and March a significant outflow occurs to meet saving account holders’ commitments, such as payment of IPVA (Vehicle Tax), school material, amongst others, which justifies the fluctuations in this portfolio.

Number of insured – in thousands


Up to June 2005, there was an increase of 26.0% in the average customer base when compared to the same period of the previous year.

When comparing 2Q05 to the same period of the prior year, Bradesco Saúde maintained its noteworthy market position, especially in the corporate health insurance segment (source: ANS). Brazilian consumers are increasingly convinced that Health and Dental Insurance are the best alternatives for meeting their medical, hospital and dental care needs. At present, Bradesco Saúde has more than 2.5 million customers.

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

Almost 12 thousand companies in Brazil have acquired Bradesco Saúde insurance products. Out of Brazil’s 100 largest companies in terms of revenues, 31 are Bradesco’s clients in the Health and Dental Health lines and out of the country’s 50 largest companies, 32% are Bradesco Saúde’s clients. (source: Exame Magazine’s Biggest and Best List, July 2005).

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

Until May 2005, the Bradesco Auto/RE maintained its position as one of the main players in the Brazilian Basic Line (RE) Insurance market, with a significant 9.9% share of total market sales in this area.

In the Corporate Risk segment, Bradesco Auto/RE was guarantor of facilities and businesses of 147 Brazil’s largest companies, related to insurance operations of large corporations in the oil, petrochemical, steel, mining, aircraft, automobile, pulp and paper industries, with relevant contracting of policies for operating risks and named, domestic and international transport, engineering risks, aircraft, oil risks and port operator.

Also in the Corporate Risks segment, Bradesco /Auto/RE has been strengthening the relationship with Bradesco Corporate and Bradesco Empresas, aiming a greater success in the insurance renewal, currently under its leadership and conquering new insurance contracts in facilities and businesses of other larges companies in the country.

In the Domestic and International Transport insurance area, we renewed the insurance policies of important companies, such as Sony Ericsson, Gradiente and Petrobras, referring to the latter, we also conquered the International Transport insurance.

In addition, the Group conquered new businesses in the business aircraft niche, with the product BRADESCO SEGURO AERONÁUTICO.

In the mass market insurance segment, whose products are focused on individuals, small and medium-sized companies, we maintained a meaningful number of customers, in particular those of the Residential Insurance line, with more than 600,000 homes insured.

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

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

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

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

Bradesco’s market share of the Auto/RCF portfolio, up to May, 2005 was 17.8%.

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

Regionally, the company holds a leadership position in two Brazilian states, according to the latest figures for May 2005 published by SUSEP. The company’s market share was of 30.89% in Amazonas and 24.67% in São Paulo.

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

Bradesco Capitalização was the first private savings bonds company in Brazil to receive ISO 9002 Certification, which in December 2002 was upgraded to the 2000 Version ISO 9001:2000. Granted by Fundação Vanzolini, the certification attests to the management quality of Bradesco savings bonds and confirms the principles on which their creation was based: good products, good services and continuous growth.

Following Bradesco Capitalização’s fast-growing pace, the volume of Technical Provisions totaled R$ 2.052 billion in June 2005, a growth rate of 2.1% compared to the same period in 2004. According to data for May 2005 disclosed by SUSEP, the company has 21.1% of the total market volume of Technical Provisions.

These results transmit confidence and confirm the company’s financial soundness and capacity to honor the commitments to its clients.

Number of Customers – in thousands 



As a result of a customer loyalty building policy, focused on the quality customer service and the offer of innovative products, the number of Bradesco Capitalização’s clients totaled more than 2.6 million at the end of 1H05.

Outstanding Traditional Savings Bonds – in thousands

89


Total Outstanding Savings Bonds – in thousands 



The outstanding savings bonds portfolio varied from 59.9 million in June 2004 to 11.9 million in June 2005. This decrease was motivated by the redemption of a major series of bonds with “Transfer of Draw Participation Rights”, which were sold in 2004 via partnership agreements in various market segments. Of the total portfolio, 62.8% comprise bonds with “Transfer of Draw Participation Rights”, including Bradesco Cartões, Bradesco Vida e Previdência, Banco Finasa etc. Since the purpose of this type of savings bonds certificate is to add value to partners’ products or to provide incentives for customer due payments, these are low-priced bonds which are sold with reduced terms and grace periods and at a lower unit purchase price.

Operating overview 

On December 9, 2002, Bradesco Consórcios commenced the sale of consortium quotas to the Bank’s employees and on January 21, 2003, these sales were extended to Bradesco account holders and non-account holders, including the consortium purchase system in the Bank’s product portfolio.

Operating in the Administration of Consortium Groups for the purchase of real estate, Vehicles, Tractors, Trucks and Combine Harvesters, the Company relies on Banco Bradesco’s customer service infrastructure.

The Company relies on all the facilities offered by the Bradesco Branch Network to commercialize its products, which is a distinct market advantage responsible for the rapid growth presented by the consortium purchase system segment. The extensive nature and security associated with the Bradesco Brand Name are added advantages for expanding consortium plan sales.

Mission Statement 

The Company’s mission is to manage consortium plans and groups for individuals and corporations regardless of whether they are Bradesco account holders or not.

To operate in the car, truck, tractor and combine harvester segment, as well as in real estate, maintaining excellent standards in the quality of the services offered and in consortium system practice, pursuant to regulations determined by the Brazilian Central Bank and in line with the Bradesco’s Organization philosophy.

Segmentation 

The Bradesco Organization’s entry into this segment is part of its strategy to offer the most complete range of product and services possible to its clients.

Provide all social classes with the opportunity to purchase items through the consortium quota system, filling a market lacuna at accessible prices, especially taking into account in relation to real estate product, the country’s current high housing deficit.

Bradesco Corporate Banking 
 

Mission and Values

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

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

– team work;

– ongoing pursuit of innovation and excellence in customer service;

– transparency in all actions;

– commitment to self-development;

– adherence to strategic guidelines;

– creativity, flexibility and initiative;

– agile customer delivery.

Background and Achievements

The Corporate Banking segment was introduced in 1999, designed to serve companies from its target market based on a customer, rather than product standpoint, under a centralized relations management, offering as well as traditional products, structured, Tailor-made and Capital Market solutions, through specific Managers who have a clear vision of risk, market, industries and relationship. In February, a training program was started in order to coach 25 new Managers, as a result of the continuous search for providing to customers the sales team with the best qualification of the market.

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

Brazilian Desk

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

This partnership between the different professionals from the two banks, which was entered into two years ago, offers checking accounts and products and services destined to meet the needs of this community.

Customers have access to an exclusive UFJ-Bradesco Branch 7-days-a-week with 40 bilingual (Japanese and Portuguese) employees who answer via Automated Consulting and Contract Machines –ACMs, which are fully integrated with the UFJ Branch Network, for local bank services and remittances to Brazil.

These facilities will also be available, initially, via 5,000 ATMs with screens in Portuguese, offering ease and convenience to customers.

The operating agreement establishes a strategic alliance between Bradesco and the UFJ Bank, which will become the world's largest bank following its merger with Banco Tokyo Mitsubishi.

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

Total resources comprising assets (credit, bonds and guarantees) and liabilities (deposits and funds/portfolios) amount to R$ 59.6 billion.

Risk Management and Compliance 
 

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

Activity and Structure

Risk management is becoming increasingly important, not only as a result of the global economy but also because of the most complex services and products provided to communities. Accordingly, Bradesco is constantly enhancing its risk management related activities in the pursuit to incorporate best international practices.

At Bradesco, risk management is seen as a competitive advantage, which adds value to the Bradesco Brand, since it provides the support required by the business areas for planning their activities, ensuring that resources are optimized and capital is allocated to the benefit of stockholders and society as a whole.

Accordingly, Bradesco has been providing important incentives over the years to its technical staff training programs, in particular regarding the professional qualification of those involved in the control and of risk management. The Department relies on an employee certified by GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals) as financial risk manager, which consists of an internationally recognized exam for risk management professionals.


Aware that integrated risk management provides a competitive edge to activities, Bradesco established the Risk Management Department in July 1998 which, subsequent to the incorporation of compliance duties in March 2002, became the Risk Management and Compliance Department – DGRC. In July 2003, the department gained a statutory department director, aggregating the activities related to credit risk and other initiatives already in place in other areas of the Organization. The department became structured to perform the integrated management of loan, market, and operating risks, besides the compliance duties (comprising money laundering prevention, internal controls, information security, validation of transactions and Brazilian Payments System risks).

Organizational Structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department:

122


The structure of the Risk Management and Compliance Department is designed not only to guarantee its independence, but also to place greater focus on these important value-added activities, demonstrating the Organization's commitment to the implementation of best corporate governance practices. Every effort is made to invest in and build its risk management capabilities. This is due to the fact that, as well as its own banking activities, Bradesco is extending risk analysis procedures to cover its equity related companies, such as BRAM –Bradesco Asset Management and all the insurance companies (Life, Private Pension Plans, Health, Savings Bonds and others), referring to market and actuarial risks, consolidating a single risk management culture throughout the Organization.

The Risk Management and Compliance Department is also responsible for coordinating compliance with the regulations to be issued by the Brazilian Central Bank, complementing Notice 12,746 as regards the New Capital Accord (Basel II) introduced by the Basel Committee in June 2004, and also the provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Risk Management Process

Bradesco adopts a comprehensive and integrated approach for managing all risks inherent to its activities, based on the support from its Internal Controls and Compliance structure. This integrated

view allows the improvement of its risk management models, filling possible gaps, which could jeopardize the correct identification and assessment of risks.

Credit Risk Management

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

Efforts are focused on the adoption of advanced and robust models which are used to assess the risks inherent to all the components of the loan process, in line with best practices, as well as the recommendations of the most advanced models comprising the New Basel Capital Accord.

An important instrument – settled in 2004 – is the Executive Credit Risk Committee, which takes place monthly with the participation of senior management, focusing on assuring the strategic management of the Organization’s loan portfolio.

123



The following efforts, among others, are pointed out:

Operating Risk Management

Operating risks are those which could occur as a result of the interruption of business, system failures, errors, omission, fraud or external events in the Bank's various activities, affecting both customers and the Institution.

Operating risk management at Bradesco is based on the application of its own processes, methodologies and tools enabling, among other benefits, a decrease in unsubscribed regulatory capital and potential operating loss events. This concept includes the dissemination of risk management culture at different levels, disclosure of its corporate policies and the establishment of ongoing monitoring procedures of exposure levels.

The Organization has prepared an action plan designed to achieve full compliance with the 10 principles of Good Operating-Risk-Management Practices and the New Capital Accord, established by the Basel Committee and to meet Brazilian Central Bank regulatory requirements.

In line with the definition and development of the methodology and accounting and management criteria used for managing operating risk, the area has implemented a specific management system for streamlining this information, aiming at monitoring and properly understanding operating loss events, facilitating an in-depth assessment, based on either management or accounting controls.

Considering its important status in the Brazilian financial scenario, the Bradesco Organization has established as its operating risk management goal the Advanced Model Approach, as defined by the Basel Committee. The efficient use of this model will require less allocation of capital and increase its competitive advantage, as a result of improved operating efficiency and decreased loss events.

124




The mitigation of operating risk is considered as a key objective for improving efficiency and business quality.

Market Risk Management

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

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

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

As from March 2005, VaR started to include positions abroad (previously followed-up on an independent basis), thus, consolidating the market risk. In the chart below, we show Global VaR positions (Treasury, position in Brazil and abroad, and Trade Portfolio). In order to allow comparisons, the calculation for June, September and December 2004 was retroactive.

125


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

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

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

Management of Internal Controls and Compliance

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

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

– information is sent to Bradesco is fully and securely stored and undergoes no modification with access restricted to authorized personnel only;

– information is only used for purposes which have been properly approved by the Organization;

– clients information is never disclosed to third parties, except upon legal or judicial determination.

Liquidity Risk Management 
 

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

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

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

Capital Risk Management 
 

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

Loan Policy

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

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

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

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

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

The Loan Committees located at the Bank's Headquarters play an important role in defining, approving the Organization’s loan policy, as well as in the joint decision-making within the competences referring to consultations proposed by the Branches (Prime, Private, Retail, Corporate and Corporate and Exchange Departments, including External Branches), previously analyzed and with opinion of the Loan Department.

128


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

Methodology Used for Loan Portfolio and Client Classification

In addition to supporting the establishment of minimum parameters for granting loan and managing risk, the credit risk scoring system also facilitates the definition of differentiated loan policies based on the client’s specific characteristics and size, providing basis for the correct pricing of operations and for establishing the most appropriate guarantees in each situation.

In accordance with internal policy, Bradesco Client risk ratings are established on a corporate basis and are periodically reviewed to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio, segmented as follows:

Classification – Corporate

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

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

Bradesco already uses a Digital Certification system for foreign exchange contracts. This new service allows the customer to electronically sign exchange contracts, which, besides making the clients transaction easier, speeds up the flow of contracting, reducing operating risks and costs.

The foreign exchange portfolio is financed by credit lines obtained from correspondent Banks. Until the end of June of the current fiscal year approximately 84 U.S., European and Asian Banks had extended credit lines to Bradesco. At the end of 1H05, the cost of obtaining export financing lines reached its lowest level in recent years, between 20 and 30 basis points above LIBOR for a period between 180 days and 360 days, respectively. Compared to the same period of 2004, the decrease totaled approximately 24 basis points, evidencing a substantial improvement in the Brazil risk perception by the international market.

In view of the liquidity surplus, after 10 years, Bradesco opted for not renewing its US Commercial Paper program, which expired on 6.13.2005. The improvement in market conditions also led us to decide to settle in advance the Series 2003-2 of the MT 100 Securitization Program, in the amount of US$ 200 million.

International Area 
 

The core objective of the Foreign Branches and Subsidiaries is to obtain funds in the international market for onlending to clients, mainly through the financing of Brazilian foreign trade.

The main activity of the subsidiary Banco Bradesco Luxembourg S.A. is to provide additional services to private banking clients and to increase foreign trade operations.

The Organization continued the rationalization process started in 2004, designed to close down certain units abroad. In 1H05, BCN and Mercantil Cayman were merged into Bradesco Cayman, followed by the closing down of Boavista Banking Ltd. Nassau.

At the end of 1H05, as well as short-term funds obtained from correspondent banks for foreign trade financing, US$ 634 million in loans were raised on a consolidated basis by Bradesco Organization by means of public and private, medium and long-term placements, earmarked for foreign trade financing and working capital loans.

It is worth pointing out in this funding environment, the US$ 300 million operation, named as “Perpetual Non-cumulative Junior Subordinated Securities”, concluded on 6.3.2005. This instrument will pay to investor, annual interest of 8.875% . The operation, led by Merrill Lynch, was the first one carried out by an emerging country financial institution, which evidences the quality of the Institution’s image with foreign investors. In addition, when perpetual securities are issued, Bradesco contributed in reinforcing the perception towards the Brazilian economy in the foreign market. This also shows Bradesco’s confidence in the ongoing expansion of credit in the country.

– coordination of syndicated loan processes, including the extension of debts which can be refinanced, structured by the Bank or by third parties.

Tax Payment and Collections 
 

In particular, we point out the activities of the Government Authority area, whose mission is to provide a specialized service to federal, state and municipal bodies, identifying business opportunities and structuring customized solutions, through a specific Internet portal (www.bradescopoderpublico.com.br).

Among the key product and service solutions made available by Bradesco, we point out the following:

Business Processes 
 

Bradesco Ombudsman

Bradesco Organization always had the philosophy of giving voice to its clients and users of banking products and services, innovatively creating in April 1985, the service “Alô Bradesco” (Hello Bradesco), which was the first financial market communication channel for suggestions and complaints, five years prior to the launching of Consumer Defense Code. This channel contributed to enhance these relations and has been an important strategic tool for relations transparency.

We implemented the In-house Ombudsman, dealing with all manifestations, whether these stem from “Alô Bradesco” service, which answers by phone and e-mail, or those deriving from Brazilian Central Bank, Procon (Consumer Protection Agency) and Press. It is incumbent upon the Ombudsman to manage these manifestations, follow-up term and quality of answers offered, provide the managers of products, services and processes with updated information so that they can learn from these warnings received and anticipate compatible solutions with needs and demands of our clients.

NBR ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certificate

The Bradesco Organization ended the year with 82 Products and Services certified by this high-level distinction, confirming the Bank's commitment to assuring ongoing ease and convenience for its clients and users.

Methodology for Mapping Processes

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

Activity-Based Costing – ABC

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

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

We stress that as a result of the application of Activity-Based Costing, the Bank is now meeting the following targets: improved allocation of costs to products, channels and customers; information for supporting studies on which the structuring and negotiation of bank fees are based; product, unit and customer profitability systems support; support for studies concerning outsourcing, incorporation and equipment sharing, as well as support for cost rationalization studies

142


Business Processes 
 

Activity-Based Management Program

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

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

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

Integrated Management System – ERP

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

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

Initially, the system will integrate processes in the Human Resources, Training, Purchases, Accounts Payable, and Fixed Assets, as well as the Accounting processes on which they are based. The areas integrated through this technology will be able to renew processes and review organizational structures and some 72 thousand system users will be trained via in-class training and e-learning.

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

Expenses Assessment Committee

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

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

Business Processes 
 

Recycled Paper

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

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

6 - Social Responsibility

 


Human Resources 
 

Bradesco offers its staff the opportunity to continually develop their professional careers in a healthy and ethical work environment, where the Bank's commitments and objectives are clearly defined. The Organization values its staff very highly and adopts the management policy of encouraging its people to seek promotion at all hierarchal levels. A customary affirmation at Bradesco is "Everyone can make it". One of our Organization's most outstanding business features is as the saying goes that "You can build your career at Bradesco". There is a closed-career policy, whereby the admission occurs at apprentice levels or upon the acquisition of other banks, which means that all in-house job vacancies are filled from our own ranks. This policy requires substantial investments in staff training, online or in-class, what provides our employees with the opportunity to develop their careers, through agile, extensive and permanent capacity building programs.

We are present both nationwide and abroad. The employees are given the chance to work in a number of different environments, in different operating and territorial areas.

Bradesco has a commitment to respect cultural and ethnic diversity which is considered a strategic factor for the good performance of a Bank which is present in almost all of Brazil's municipalities.

Great Place to Work

Bradesco was listed for the fifth time in the prestigious Guia Exame – Você S/A guide – The Best Companies to Work, based on a study carried out by the Exame and Você S/A magazines in partnership with the consulting firm Great Place to Work Institute. In addition to being ranked among the 150 best companies to work in Brazil, Bradesco was also rated among the 50 best companies for women to work, for the second consecutive year.

This Guia Exame is considered the best and most comprehensive study on the workplace environment in Brazil. The study assessed the working environment of all these companies, as well as elements such as benefits, remuneration, professional development opportunities, ethics, citizenship values and social responsibility. Approximately 900 employees were selected by the researchers to take part in the survey.

In 2004, Bradesco was also distinguished in the list of "Best Companies in Managing People" organized by the Hay Group and published in the “Valor Carreira” yearbook, distributed by the “Valor Econômico” newspaper. According to this survey, based on interviews with 2,051 employees, who were asked to assign scores to various statements about the workplace. Bradesco was rated first place in the category for companies with more than 15 thousand workers. Some 250 companies took part in this survey.

People Management

This area is designed to integrate a complete map of the Organization's human capital, with current HR policy and to present innovations in internal relations, through the development of leaders in people management.

The program has been implemented in several areas, providing a profile ID of the employees. Based on this knowledge, leaders and employees are gained conditions and are able to share actions focused on improving their performance and relationships, as well as establishing goals designed to improve their key skills.

Social-cultural Events 
 

In the 1H05, Bradesco supported different social projects throughout the country, decisively collaborating for the cultural enrichment of the Brazilian society.

Bradesco sponsored the exhibition “Henry Moore –Uma Retrospectiva/Brasil 2005” (Henry Moore – A Retrospective/2005), which inaugurated the Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (Art Gallery of the State of São Paulo) festivities calendar of its 100th anniversary, becoming the artist’s largest retrospective out of Europe. 239 works were exhibited, of which 117 sculptures, 72 drawings and 50 carvings, representing all the artist’s phases.

One of the most important cultural events in the north region of the country, the “IX Festival Amazonas de Ópera” (9th Amazonas Opera Festival), performed in May at the Amazonas Theater, in the city of Manaus (Amazonas state), also had Bradesco’s sponsorship. The event had 14 different presentations, such as operas, concerts and debate sessions, totalizing 27 performances in six cultural spaces.

Bradesco also sponsored the Project Music in Museums which consists in Brazilian classical music concerts in the main museums of Rio de Janeiro. Beyond bringing art to the people of Rio de Janeiro, the goal is to value and to make known contemporary Brazilian composers.

Bradesco also supported the Agrishow (agriculture) editions in the cities of Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo), Rio Verde (Goiânia), Rondonópolis (Mato Grosso), Luís Eduardo Magalhães (Bahia), besides “Expo Zebu” in the city of Uberaba (Minas Gerais), “Show Rural Coopavel”, in the city of Cascavel (Paraná), “Feira Internacional Máquinas-Ferramentas e Sistemas Integrados de Manufatura” (International Fair of Machinery-Tools and Manufacturing Integrated Systems) (Feimafe 2005), in the city of São Paulo (São Paulo), 21st Congress of Management and Supermarket Business International Fair (Apas 2005), in São Paulo (São Paulo), “Hospitalar 2005”, the most important fair in the Latin America of health products, equipment and services, performed in São Paulo (São Paulo).

Social Activities: Finasa Sports Program 
 

The Bradesco Organization channels its support of sports activities through the FINASA Sports Program (FINASA ESPORTES), successor of the BCN Sports Program. This initiative, which completed 17 years of activity in 2004, gained momentum in 1997, following its integration with Bradesco's other social projects. Along its history, the program has become a benchmark for assistance in the education of young people, using sports through the formation of women basketball and volleyball teams as an instrument for social inclusion. At present, 3,882 girls from 10 to 16 years of age, enrolled at school and attending classes on a regular basis are included in the program. Approximately 70% of these girls derive from deprived backgrounds and are considered to be at social risk.

FINASA ESPORTES maintains 78 training centers, 50 for volleyball and 28 for basketball, installed on the premises of state schools, at Osasco's city hall sports centers, at Fundação Bradesco school, at a SESI unit and at three private schools, all located in the municipality of Osasco, in the Greater São Paulo. Acting in partnership with the local government, the Bradesco Organization offers a full support structure which includes the supply of sports and learning materials, as well as a team of 60 professional instructors, including municipal and state coordinators and teachers.

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

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

Fundação Bradesco – The Bradesco Organization’s Social Arm 
 

Background

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

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

152


Objectives and Goals

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

Accordingly, the reach of Fundação Bradesco has been expanded yearly, increasing the number of enrolled students from 13,080 to more than 107,699 over the last twenty-four years. The schools of Fundação Bradesco run free education for Kindergarten, Elementary School and High School, as well as Basic Professional and Technical education in IT, electronics, industry, management and agribusiness. Distance learning is also offered as part of the Youth and Adult Basic Education Equivalency programs via Tele-education and the Virtual Classroom site.

Areas and Methods of Action

Basic Education

Kindergarten and Elementary School comprise more than 43% of all students on courses provided by Fundação Bradesco each year. In addition, the students receive free school materials, uniforms, meals and health care.

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

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

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

On this intent, Fundação Bradesco offers various continuing education opportunities, including e-learning.

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

Technical Professional Education

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

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

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

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

153


Basic Professional Education

Fundação Bradesco runs free Basic Professional Education designed for the update and qualification of workers with different school levels. There are more than 105 options for free courses, presenting flexible programs, in the same track of the labor market conditions in the following professional areas: Management, Personal Image, (Fashion and Personal Beauty Care), Industry (Electrical, Electronics and Printing Technology), IT, Leisure and Social Development, Tourism and Hospitality ( Tourism, Hospitality and Catering). In the Agribusiness Area, Fundação Bradesco offers courses which include Artificial Insemination techniques.

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, avoiding the need for students to travel to the school units. Another reason for the good performance is related to the investments made by Fundação Bradesco in learning technology resources.

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

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

Material Facts

On March 6, all the School Units of Fundação Bradesco participated in the “International Day of the Voluntary Action”. More than 700 thousand people benefited from activities promoted in leisure and entertainment, education, culture, sports, preventive health, community development and citizenship. The action attracted 11 thousand volunteers in more than 100 facilities, that included schools of the Public Network, CIDs – Digital Inclusion Centers and the own schools of Fundação Bradesco.

Aiming to provide basic learning in computers and free access to public services via Internet, besides of appraising citizenship with actions development pronounced with the communities, Fundação Bradesco already has 26 CIDs – Digital Inclusion Centers. The most recent one is located in Javaés (Tocantins state), which is the first digital inclusion center located at Native Brazilian indian community. The project together with large IT companies aims to avoid digital exclusion and to boost the compliance to people that live next to the schools, in places managed by the community’s volunteers. High School students offer monitoring for the activities, acting as main characters of local development.

The agreement with Fundação Roberto Marinho was renewed for maintaining the TV channel Canal Futura. Fundação Bradesco is a partnership of this initiative since 1997, being known by its education programming and community rendering.

The support to “Alfabetização Solidária” (Solidary Literacy) was renewed with investments in the amount of R$ 1 million. Approximately six thousand students and 240 educators will be benefited with Fundação Bradesco’s funds in 16 Northeast municipalities with high illiteracy levels.

An agreement was executed between Fundação Bradesco, Sesi and Fundação Roberto Marinho to offer and certify courses of Education for Youngsters and Adults to employees of Cia. Vale do Rio Doce. The purpose of the agreement is to assist, only in the first phase, nearly 600 employees of the company in Espírito Santo state.

The 1st Distance Learning YearBook, published by Brazilian Association of Distance Learning Entities (ABED) ranked the Fundação between the top ten institutions training the largest number of students per EAD in the Education for Youngsters and Adults.

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

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

4) Metal, Glass and Plastics

We are implementing at the headquarters, and later we will be implementing in other administrative buildings, the selective collection of metal, glass and plastics. The start of the effective selective collection is estimated for next September.

A measure adopted nearly 4 years ago is the utilization of re-manufactured cartridges as consumption items for our Premises, aiming besides cost savings, the benefits of reducing pollution and environmental wear.

5) Lamps

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

The replacement of 50% of 255 mercury lamps by other sodium steam lamps, in 178 posts installed on the streets of Cidade de Deus

158


(headquarters), and the exchange over the past 3 years of approximately 30,000 40Watts lamps with 32Watts, has substantially reduced the energy consumption, without loosing the lighting efficiency.

6) Electricity and Water

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

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

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

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

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

Same concern is expressed as to the rational use of water. Thus, our premises are periodically guided concerning the monthly follow-up of consumption and maintenance aiming at correcting possible leakage in valves, flushings and faucets.

The adequate garden watering, observing the best hour and periodicity, also has been deserved attention. Also concerning the gardening areas, our headquarters maintain approximately 115,000m2 of green area, with more than 3 thousand trees cataloged under the replacement and planting program. Grass pruning, the collection of leaves and branches, add approximately 12 tons monthly. The possibility of using grinding machine for these natural residues has been examined, avoiding discard in landfills and optimizing its utilization as organic fertilizer.

Equator Principles

Equator Principles rules are based on environmental criteria and social responsibility developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank’s arm, which shall be observed in the granting of loans for projects exceeding the amount of US$ 50 million.

When Bradesco adopted these principles, it believed that all the society will be benefited, as the Bank is consolidating the management of exposure to risks associated with these projects, as well as a pro-active involvement in environmental and social issues.

Taking into account Bradesco’s adhesion to the Equator Principles, our Real Estate Valuation department is attentive in requesting the submission of reports attesting the non-existence of environmental liabilities, upon eventual proposals for undertakings exceeding US$ 50 million, or lower amount, when deemed convenient, due to real estate peculiarities.

8 - Financial Statements, Independent Auditors' Report and Report of the Fiscal Council



Management Report
 

We are pleased to present the Financial Statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. for the 1H05, as well as the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Brazilian Corporate Laws.

The economic scenario in the period was marked by inflationary pressures, which obliged the Brazilian monetary authority to maintain a tight movement of the interest rates started in September last year. Hence, the economic activity slowed down and the GDP growth reduced its level, especially impacting on total investment. Taking into account certain uncertainties in the political scenario, we observe the Brazilian economy relatively protected from turmoil, thanks to its healthy macroeconomic fundamentals. Prospects for the second half of the year are improved inflationary scenario and a less restrictive monetary policy. The loan activity tends to continue dynamic and with default under control.

Among the important events for the period at Bradesco Organization, it is worth mentioning the following:

1. Result in the Period

In the 1H05, Bradesco recorded a Net Income of R$ 2.621 billion, equivalent to R$ 5.34 per stock, annualized profitability of 32.30% on the final stockholder’s equity and of 34.94% on the average stockholder’s equity.

Taxes and social contributions, including social security, paid or provisioned in the period, calculated based on the main activities of Bradesco Organization, totaled R$ 2.422 billion, 92.39% of the Net Income.

164



On June 30, the Operating Efficiency Ratio – IEO, 12-month accumulated, was 48.05% against 60.10% in June/04, in view of the successful efforts to control administrative expenses and increased revenues.

Monthly and interim interest on own capital distributed to stockholders amounted to R$ 457.119 million. Thus, for each stock, R$ 0.981332 was attributed (R$ 0.834132 net of withholding tax), which include an additional of 10%, for preferred stocks and R$ 0.892120 (R$ 0.758302 net of withholding tax) for common stocks.

2. Capital and Reserves

The paid-in Capital Stock at the end of the 1H05 was increased to R$ 10 billion, by means of subscription of new stocks by stockholders in the amount of R$ 700 million, resolved on 12.9.2004 and approved on 3.10.2005, which raised more R$ 24.250 million as premium in the auction of unsubscribed stocks, recorded in the “Capital Reverse” – Premiums on Stocks account; the increase by R$11.856 million through the issuance of new stocks to the minority stockholders of Bradesco Seguros S.A.; and the increase of R$ 2.288 billion by means of Capitalization of Reserves, without issuing stocks, resolved on March 10.

Added to the Equity Reserves of R$ 7.448 billion, Stockholders’ Equity totaled R$ 17.448 billion, up 27.82% over the same period of the prior year, corresponding to a book value of R$ 35.53 per stock.

Stockholders’ Equity is equivalent to 9% of the consolidated Assets, which increased 10.38% in relation to June/2004, totaling R$ 194.542 billion. Therefore, the capital adequacy ratio reached 18.21% on the consolidated financial basis and 15.83% on the consolidated economic and financial basis; hence, over the minimum of 11% established by the Resolution 2099, as of 8.17.1994, of the National Monetary Council of Brazil, in conformity with the Basel Committee. At the end of the 1H05, the ratio of permanent assets, related to the Consolidated Reference Equity, was 41.36% in the consolidated financial basis and 19.05% in the consolidated economic and financial basis, within the maximum limit of 50%.

In compliance with the provisions of the Article 8 of the Brazilian Central Bank Circular 3068, as of 11.8.2001, Bradesco declares that it has the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified under “securities held to maturity” category.

Bradesco’s stocks now compose Level 1 of BOVESPA’s Corporate Governance, since June/2001. As the Bank has its stocks traded on exchanges overseas, it prepares its financial statements also in USGAAP.

It is worth mentioning that under the terms of the Instruction 381, issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, the Bradesco Organization in the 1H05 neither contracted nor had services rendered by KPMG Auditores Independentes unrelated to the independent audit in levels higher than 5% of total costs thereof. The policy adopted complies with the principles preserving the Auditor’s independency, pursuant to the internationally accepted criteria, such as: the auditor shall neither audit his own work, nor perform management duties with his client or promote his interests. In view of Brazilian Central Bank’s regulation, each independent audit is contracted for a period no longer than five years.

The Annual Stockholders’ Meeting as of March 10, 2005, resolved to maintain the Fiscal Council, composed of 3 sitting members and 3 deputy members, with a term of office until 2006, being 1 sitting member and deputy chosen amongst preferred stockholders.

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

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

3) Significant Accounting Policies

     a) Determination of net income

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

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

The revenue from savings bonds plans is recognized at the time it is effectively received. The expenses for placement of bonds, classified as “Commercialization Expenses”, are recorded as they are incurred. Brokerage expenses are recorded at the time the savings bonds certificate revenues are effectively received.

The supplementary pension plan contributions are recorded in income at the time they are effectively received.

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

    b) Interbank investments

Purchase and sale commitments subject to unrestricted movement agreements are adjusted to 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 exists intention and financial capacity for maintenance through to maturity are recorded at acquisition cost, plus income earned, as a counter-entry to income for the period.

    d) Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

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

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

180



The derivative financial instruments used for protection against exposure to risk or for changing the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities and which are: (i) significantly correlated in relation to the adjustment of their market value to the market value of the hedged item, at both the start and over the duration of the contract; and (ii) considered to be effective in mitigating the risk associated with the exposure which is to be protected, are classified as hedges in accordance with their specific nature:

– Market risk hedge – the hedged financial assets and liabilities and the corresponding derivative financial instruments are recorded at market value, with corresponding mark-to-market adjustments recorded directly in income for the period; and

– Cash flow hedge – hedged financial assets and liabilities and the corresponding derivative financial instruments are recorded at market value, with corresponding mark-to-market adjustments, net of tax effects, recorded in the stockholders’ equity account. The non-hedged portion is recorded directly in results for the period.

    e) Loan and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

181



    g) Investments

Significant investments in subsidiary and affiliated companies and jointly controlled investments are recorded on the equity method. The financial statements of the foreign branches and subsidiaries are adjusted to comply with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, translated into reais and their related effects recognized in income for the period.

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

    h) Fixed assets

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

    i) Deferred charges

Deferred charges are recorded at cost of acquisition or formation, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization at 20% to 50% per annum, calculated on the straight-line method.

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

    j) Deposits and funds obtained in the open market

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

    k) Technical provisions relating to insurance, private pension plans and savings bonds activities Unearned premiums reserve

These are recorded based on the retained insurance premiums deferred over the terms of the insurance contracts, in accordance with criteria established by SUSEP and ANS.

Reserves for benefits to be granted and benefits granted

Mathematical reserves comprise the amounts of the liabilities assumed under the form of income, pension and savings plans and are calculated based on the financial method determined in the contract, under the responsibility of a legally qualified actuary registered with the Brazilian Institute of Actuaries (IBA). The mathematical reserves comprise the present value of future benefits estimated based on actuarial methods and assumptions. The reserve for benefits to be granted comprises participants whose receipt of benefits has not yet commenced and the reserve for benefits granted comprises participants who are currently receiving benefits.

Savings bonds – mathematical reserves for redemptions and draws

These were recorded in conformity with the actuarial technical notes approved by SUSEP, based on a variable percentage applicable to the amounts of the savings bonds certificates effectively received and adjusted for price-level restatement.

Unsettled claims reserve and IBNR

The unsettled claims reserve is recorded based on the estimated payments of claims incurred, including claims which are under dispute in the courts, net of recoveries and adjusted for price-level restatement up to the balance sheet date. The claims reserve incurred but not reported (IBNR) is calculated on an actuarial basis to quantify the volume and amount of the claims incurred, but which have not yet been reported to the insurance companies by the policyholders/beneficiaries.

    l) Other assets and liabilities

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

Bradesco Organization’s policy is not to record the active contingencies while the final decision, when no more appeals are possible, is not effectively established.

(1)      Investments in fund quotas were distributed based on the securities comprising their portfolios, maintaining the fund category classification;
(2)      Reclassifications held on December 31, 2004, in compliance with BACEN Circular 3068:
 
  • In BEM – Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários Ltda., securities mainly comprised of investment funds in the amount of R$ 3,008 thousand, which were classified as securities held to maturity, were reclassified: R$ 3,006 thousand as trading securities and R$ 2 thousand as securities available for sale, with no effects on income or stockholders’ equity;
     
  • In Banco Mercantil de São Paulo, trading securities in the amount of R$ 51,738 thousand, mainly comprising privatization currencies, were reclassified to securities available for sale, with no effect on income or stockholders’ equity;
    (3)      Investment fund and managed portfolio resources invested in purchase and sale commitments with Banco Bradesco, the investors in which are subsidiary companies, included in the consolidated financial statements;
    (4)      The number of days to maturity was based on the maturity of the securities, regardless of their accounting classification;
    (5)      This column reflects book value subsequent to mark-to-market, except for securities held to maturity, whose market value is higher than the updated book value in the amount of R$ 836,704 thousand (March 31, 2005 – R$ 786,677 thousand – June 30, 2004 – R$ 761,775 thousand);
    (6)      The market value of securities is determined based on the market price available on the balance sheet date. In the event no market prices are available, amounts are estimated based on the prices quoted by dealers, on price definition models, quotation models or quotations for instruments with similar characteristics; in case of investment funds, the updated cost reflects the value of respective quotas already at market value;
    (7)      In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of BACEN Circular 3068, Bradesco declares that it has both the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified in the ‘securities held to maturity’ category. This financial capacity is evidenced in Note 7, which presents the maturities of asset and liability operations on the reference date of June 30, 2005; and
    (8)      In order to compare with the criterion adopted by the BACEN Circular 3068 and by the securities characteristic, the derivative financial instruments were recorded in the “Trading Securities” category.

Arrendamento Mercantil, of which one matures on February 1,2025 and has a 100% of CDI remuneration, and the other matures on May 1, 2011 and has a 102% of CDI remuneration.
    (2)      These consist of funds obtained from banks abroad, from the issuance of notes in the international market and under National Monetary Council (CMN) Resolution 2770 for:
      (i)      onlending to local customers, maturing until 2009, under terms which do not exceed those of the funds obtained, with interest payable at LIBOR, plus a spread or prefixed interest;
      (ii)      foreign exchange operations for customers, through purchase and sale of foreign currencies, discounts of export bills, pre-financing of exports and financing of imports, mainly on a short-term basis.
    (3)      Securitization of money orders and credit card bill receivables from cardholders abroad.
      From 2003 onwards, Bradesco Organization enters into certain agreements designed to optimize its funding and liquidity management activities through the use of Specific Purposes Entities (SPEs). These SPEs, Brasilian Merchant Voucher Receivables Limited and International Diversified Payment Rights Company are financed through long-term obligations and settled through the future cash flows of the corresponding assets, which basically comprise:
      (i)      current and future flows of money orders remitted by individuals and corporate entities located abroad to beneficiaries in Brazil for which the Bank acts as paying agent; and
      (ii)      current and future flows of credit card receivables arising from expenses made in the Brazilian territory by holders of credit cards issued outside Brazil.
     

    209



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

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

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

    20) Contingent Liabilities

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

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

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

    Labor claims

    These are claims brought by former employees seeking indemnity, especially, the payment of unpaid overtime. Following the effective control over working hours implemented in 1992, via electronic time cards, overtime is paid regularly during the employment contract and accordingly, claims on an individual basis subsequent to 1997 are no longer significant.

    The amount for labor contingencies is provisioned based on the average amount of the indemnities paid.

    Civil lawsuits

    These arise during the normal course of certain work routines and comprise claims for pain and suffering and pecuniary damages, mainly protests, bounced checks and the inclusion of names in the restricted credit registry.

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

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

    Tax proceedings

    The Bradesco Organization is disputing the legality 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.

    Allowances established, divided by nature are as follows:

    c) Interest on own capital

    Non-voting preferred stocks are entitled to all rights and benefits attributed to common stocks and, in conformity with the Bank’s Bylaws, have priority to repayment of capital and 10% additional interest on own capital and/or dividends, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1, item II of Article 17 of Law 6404, as amended by Law 10.303/2001.

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

    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 revenue reserves in amounts that are equivalent to, or exceed twice the amount of such interest.

    It is the Bank’s policy to distribute, during the year all the interest on own capital, determined in conformity with the criteria mentioned above and to compute this interest for purposes of the minimum compulsory dividend, net of withholding tax (IRRF).

    The Board of Directors’ Meeting held on June 29, 2005, resolved on the payment of interim interest on own capital related to the 1H05, in the amount of R$ 0.57000 and R$ 0.62700 per common and preferred stock, respectively, paid on July 20, 2005, by the net amount of R$ 0.48450 and R$ 0.53295, already deducting withholding tax, per common and preferred stock, respectively.

    The calculation of interest on own capital related to 1H05 is shown as follows:

    33) Financial Instruments

    a) Risk Management Process

    Bradesco approaches on a comprehensive and integrated basis the management of all risks inherent to its activities, supported on its Internal Control and Compliance structure. This integrated vision enables the improvement of risk management models and avoids the existence of any gap, which may compromise the correct identification and measurement of risks.

    Credit Risk Management

    As part of its Credit Risk Management enhancement process, Bradesco is working uninterruptedly to improve the procedures for gathering and controlling portfolio information, develop new loss estimation models, enhance and prepare rating inventories used in the various sectors in which the Bank operates, to supervise the processes used in credit analysis, granting and settlement, monitor credit concentration, identify the causes of default and to prepare risk mitigation plans.

    Efforts are focused on the utilization of advanced and strict risk assessment models fully integrated with all the credit process components, in line with best practices and the recommendations established by the New Basel Capital Accord most advanced models.

    The Credit Risk Executive Committee – started in 2004 – performed monthly by the senior management, is an important body which aims to ensure the strategic management of Bradesco’s loan operations portfolio.

    We highlight, among others, the following efforts:

    • implementation of expected and unexpected losses’ calculation system, in addition to the allocation of the corresponding capital in compliance with the New Basel Accord requirements;

    • backtesting of models used to assess the loan portfolio risks;

    • improvement of the management information systems designed to meet the requirements of the present customers’ and departments’ segmentation approach, with the emphasis on decision making and loan portfolio management;

    • management of critical risks: continuous monitoring of the main default events through individual analyses based on customers’ balance evolution and recovery estimates by the main areas involved (Business, Loan and Recovery); and

    • ongoing review and restructuring of internal processes, embracing roles and responsibilities, capacity building, review of organizational structures and information technology demands.

    Market Risk Management

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

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

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

    As from March 2005, VaR started to include positions abroad (previously followed-up independently), thus consolidating the market risk. In the next chart, we show Global VaR of positions (Treasury, position in Brazil and abroad, and Trade Portfolio).

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

    Besides following-up and controlling via VaR, a daily Gap Analysis is performed to measure the effect of the movement in the local interest rate and foreign exchange coupon curves (interest spread paid above the foreign exchange variation) on the portfolio, as well as potential impacts on stress scenarios positions that are also periodically assessed.

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

    Liquidity risk

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

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

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

    Capital risk

    Bradesco's capital is managed to optimize the risk-return ratio, aiming at minimizing losses, through the implementation of well-defined business strategies and maximizing efficiency in the combination of factors which impact the Capital Adequacy Ratio (Basel).

    c) Derivatives

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

    34) Employee Benefits

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    230



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

    In its foreign premises, Bradesco provides its employees and management a defined contribution pension plan, allowing to accumulate funds during the participant’s professional career, by means of contributions paid by himself/herself and equal share by Bradesco. The contributions jointly paid by Bradesco’s employees and managers of foreign premises correspond to, at most, 5% of the benefit annual salary.

    Expenses with contributions made during the 1H05 totaled R$ 124,201 thousand (1H04 – R$ 100,595 thousand) 2Q05 –R$ 61,068 thousand (1Q05 – R$ 63,133 thousand).

    In addition, Bradesco and its subsidiaries offer their employees and directors a number of other benefits including: healthcare insurance, dental care, group life and personal accident insurance, as well as professional training, the expenses for which, including the aforementioned contributions, totaled R$ 563,268 thousand in 1H05 (1H04 – R$ 500,032 thousand), 2Q05 –284,462 thousand (1Q05 – R$ 278,806 thousand).

    Summary of Audit Committee Report – June 2005
     

    Introduction

    The Audit Committee, established in the Special Stockholders’ Meeting as of 12.17.2003, is composed of four members, appointed in the Special Meeting of the Board of Directors held on 3.10.2005, with a term of office valid until the 1st Board of Directors’ Meeting to be held after the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting of 2006, and its charter is available on the website www.bradesco.com.br, Investor Relations section.

    The Committee has as Coordinator a member of Bradesco’s Board of Directors, and the other members, including an expert, do not participate in other Organization’s bodies.

    It is incumbent upon the Committee to ensure the integrity and quality of financial statements of Bradesco Financial Conglomerate, the observance to the internal and external rules, the effectiveness and independency of audit activity and the quality and efficiency of internal control systems.

    It is the Management’s responsibility to prepare the financial statements of the companies composing Bradesco Organization, and it is essential to ensure the quality of processes related to financial information, as well as control activities and risk management.

    It is incumbent upon KPMG Auditores Independentes, as public accountant of the financial statements to ensure that they accurately represent the equity and financial condition of the conglomerate, pursuant to the generally fundamental accounting principles, the Brazilian corporate law, the rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission – CVM, the National Monetary Council, Brazilian Central Bank and Superintendence of Private Insurance – SUSEP.

    Audit Committee’s Activities

    The Audit Committee, as it is a Board of Directors’ advisory body, has been using existing structures at the Organization to establish a direct communication channel and a structured flow of information, with content and frequency, enabling its members to render their opinion on an independent basis about the internal control systems, the quality of financial statements and the efficiency of independent and internal audits.

    The Audit Committee’s work program has defined a Meeting Schedule and Work Sessions for 2005, focused on risks and more relevant processes for Bradesco Organization’s businesses.

    The Committee has also been following-up the development of most important projects within Bradesco Organization, with a view to better assessing their impact on the quality of internal control systems and risk management upon their implementation. Amongst the projects of this Committee’s interest, we point out those related to the Section 404 of U. S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and New Capital Accord – Basel II.

    Internal Control System

    Bradesco Organization’s internal control system is adequate to the size and complexity of its businesses and was structured to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of its operations, financial reports generating systems and the observance to the internal and external rules, to which these are subject and must be periodically evaluated in order to identify issues deserving improvements to better serve businesses and the good risk management practices at the Organization.

    In this regard, the Audit Committee sent its suggestions of improvement in certain processes of information technology, controllership, information security and compliance to the Board of Directors.

    Independent and Internal Audit

    In meetings held with KPMG Auditores Independentes and General Inspectorate, the Committee assessed that works developed by those teams are adequate to the Organization’s businesses, not identifying significant deficiencies, which would jeopardize its effectiveness.

    In addition, independent audit works were assessed, as well as its independency policy, without any evidence of facts, which could harm its performance and the adoption of independent position in its actions.

    Consolidated Financial Statements

    In the first half of 2005, the Committee held meetings with the General Accounting Department, Budget Department Control and General Inspectorate to assess the monthly, quarterly and semi-annual financial statements. These meetings analyzed and assessed the aspects of preparing individual and consolidated interim balance sheets and balance sheets, notes to the financial statements and financial reports published jointly with consolidated financial statements.

    Bradesco accounting practices were also considered in the preparation of financial statements, as well as the observance to the fundamental accounting principles and the compliance with the applicable laws.

    The Committee also has held a restricted meeting with the public accountants prior to the releases of quarterly information and semi-annual balance sheet, by assessing, besides the issues mentioned above, the aspects of independency and control environment in the production of figures released.

    Based on reviews and discussions aforementioned, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the approval of the audited financial statements related to the half-year ended as of June 30, 2005.

    Glossary of Technical Terms

    Activity Based Costing: is a methodology used to facilitate the analysis of the costs of activities that consume the most significant volume of resources. The volume, relationship between cause and effect and the effectiveness with which the resources are consumed during the activities comprise the objective of the strategic ABC cost analysis, ensuring that indirect costs are directed as a priority to these activities and processes and subsequently to products, services and customers.

    Added value: value created by the company as a result of its productive activities, representing the level of the company’s contribution to society.

    Advanced Model Approach (AMA): method used to allocate capital to operating risk, whereby complex internal variables are applied and integrated with management processes. The Bank must meet qualitative and quantitative criteria, as well as maintaining a database of loss for the prior 5 years and be apt to calculate operating V@R (Value at Risk).

    Advisor: economic/financial consultant.

    Asset management companies: the main activity of these companies is to manage third-party funds. The companies may be part of a financial group, but must create operating barriers, such as a “Chinese Wall” to avoid possible conflicts of interest and focus their business on the management of investors’ funds.
