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 credit operations; increases in the allowance for loan loss; loss of funding capacity; loss of clientele or revenues; our capacity to sustain and improve performance; changes in interest rates which could, among others, have an adverse effect on 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 undue 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 Form 20-F, the annual report filed at 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 lacunas 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 preferred shares 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 the preferred shares 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; base interest rate fluctuations, inflation; 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 experiences substantial inflation in the future, our revenues and the market price of our preferred shares and ADSs may be reduced

Brazil has experienced extremely high inflation rates in the past, with annual rates (IGP – DI from Fundação Getúlio Vargas) 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 securities markets. If Brazil experiences substantial inflation in the future, our costs (if not accompanied by an increase in interest rates) may increase, our operating and net margins may decrease and, if investor confidence lags, the price of our preferred shares and ADSs may fall. 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 hurt 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 faced higher costs for raising 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 to us.

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

The market price of the preferred shares 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 can 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’ preferred shares, 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 the preferred shares 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 existing laws and regulations or the imposition of new ones may negatively affect our operations and income

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 reserve requirements, lending limits and other credit 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 income.

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 income.

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 client 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 shares are held by two shareholders, whose interests may conflict with other investors’ interests

On March 31, 2005 Cidade de Deus – Companhia Comercial de Participações, which we call “Cidade de Deus Participações,” directly held 48.00% of March 31, 2005 our common shares and Fundação Bradesco directly and indirectly held 45.16% of our common shares. As a result, these shareholders 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 shareholders, as well as to approve related-party transactions or corporate reorganizations.

Profitability

In 1Q05, Bradesco reported consolidated net income of R$ 1,205 million, compared to R$ 609 million for the same period in 2004, which corresponds to a growth of 97.9%. When compared to 4Q04`s net income, there was a positive increase of R$ 147 million, or 13.9%. On March 31, 2005 the stockholders’ equity totaled R$ 16,538 million, up 21.4% and 8.7% when compared to the balances for March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2004, respectively. As a result, the return on stockholders’ equity (ROE) reached 32.5%. Assets totaled R$ 191,299 million at the end of 1Q05, a growth rate of 18.8% and 3.4% compared to the balances for March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Return on total assets (ROA) for 1Q05 was 2.5%. Earnings per stock reached R$ 2.45.

1Q05 was marked by the maintenance of the good performance of revenues comprising the Financial Margin, which grew 13.7% when compared to the previous quarter, essentially due to the expansion in business volumes, in particular the Credit Portfolio, up by 5.1% in the quarter, influenced by the economic growth retake started in 2H04, and also by higher gains from securities, in which we highlight the positive result recorded with the sale of part of our stake in Belgo Mineira’s capital stock, amouting to R$ 327 million.

The current scenario of continuous credit portfolio improvement, in sync with our ongoing preoccupation with the selective credit granting policy, reflected an improved portfolio of risk ratings, with AA-to-C rated credits reaching 92.5% of the total portfolio, against 92.3% in 4Q04. This performance, related to the evolution observed in credit portfolio’s volume, coupled with the R$ 166 million preventive PDD constitution linked to the operations of a large utilities concessionaire

which is under a debt restructuring process, resulted in the constitution of Allowance for Loan Losses in the amount of R$ 635 million in 1Q05, with Allowance for Loan Losses reaching the level of R$ 4,301 million on March 31, 2005.

It is worth highlighting that was recorded extraordinary reserve of R$ 324 million in the Individual Health portfolio, to bring to the same level the premiums for insurance holders over 60 years old and for fully settled plans whose holders are still entitled to their benefits (planos remidos).

Operating Efficiency Ratio in the 12-month period comprised between April 1st, 2004 until March 31, 2005 was of 52.7%, improving by 2.8 points when compared to 2004, mainly as a result of the combination of strict expense control with the revenue growth in this quarter. As a consequence of all those efforts, the Expanded Coverage Ratio (revenues from services rendered/personnel expenses + administrative expenses) increased from 65.1% in 4Q04 to 68.8% in 1Q05.

Analysis of Financial Margin

Bradesco’s consolidated financial margin (before PDD) totaled R$ 3,999 million in 1Q05, up by 13.7% when compared to 4Q04 (R$ 3,516 million) and by 20.1% in relation to the same quarter in 2004 (R$ 3,330 million).

The average volume of operations in 1Q05 was responsible for a growth of R$ 146 million in financial margin when compared to 4Q04 and of R$ 410 million when compared to 4Q04.

The main business lines responsible for the raise in financial margin were:

The credit portfolio, which totaled R$ 66.0 billion, representing a growth of 5.1% in the quarter. When compared to the last twelve months, the increase was even higher, reaching 20.2%.

The Insurance business also played an important role for the improvement of financial margin, mainly due to the good performance of the Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds activities, considering that the technical reserves went up 4.9% in 1Q05 and 26.4% when compared to the last twelve months.

The increase in the volume of transactions is based on the Bradesco`s ongoing efforts of expanding its businesses in different niche markets, supported by the diversification of its products, aiming at servicing the most diverse demands, mitigating possible market risks, prioritizing the best relationship with the clients and reaching, as a consequence, an organic growth of its client base, a movement that could be confirmed in 1Q05, when more than 350 thousand new checking accounts were opened, 97.7% of which from individual customers.

The recent partnerships involving the acquisition of specific portfolios, as well as the agreements with large retail chains, were key for the increase in the Credit Operations with individual customers, up by 11.9% when compared to December/04 balance and by 44.2% in the last twelve months.

This expansion also helped to improve the breakdown of the credit portfolio, positively contributing for the evolution of the average fees and spreads, in line with Bradesco’s strategy to focus on segments with better profitability opportunities. The effect on the financial margin, influenced by the improvement in fees in 1Q05 was of R$ 65 million when compared to 4Q04 and of R$ 3 million over 1Q04.

Non-interest income grew financial margin by R$ 272 million in 1Q05 as compared to 4Q04 and by R$ 321 million when compared to 1Q04, mainly as a result of increased gains on securities transactions in 1Q05, in which we highlight the positive result recorded with the sale of part of our stake in Belgo-Mineira’s capital stock.

Thus, the annualized financial margin rate, which reflects the financial margin/average total assets ratio reached 8.8% for 1Q05, up by 0.9 percentage point compared to 4Q04 and by 0.7 percentage point compared to 1Q04.

Revenues from Services Rendered increased 25.9% in 1Q05, or R$ 342 million when compared to 1Q04, totaling R$ 1,661 million. The expansion in business volume in the last 12 months, directly linked to the economic recovery triggered in 2Q04, was the main reason for the growth in the “Revenues from Credit Operations”, up by R$ 118 million. The tariff realignment of and client base growth boosted the “Income from Checking Accounts”, up by R$ 80 million. The 22.2% expansion in the volume of managed assets was the main factor for the growth in “Asset Management”, which increased by R$ 40 million, from R$ 85.7 billion on March 31, 2004 to R$ 104.8 billion on March 31, 2005. The 20.0% growth on “Income on Cards” in the last 12 months, represented by the elevation of R$ 48 million, is directly related to the increase of 9.8% in the cards base, from 42.7 million to 46.9 million.

When compared to 1Q04, Revenues from Services Rendered dropped by 0.8%, or R$ 14 million, as a result of the effect of the elimination of dates differences in the consolidation of our stake in the affiliated company VISANET in the previous quarter, which had an impact of R$ 47 million on the “Income on Cards”. The increase in the client base and in business volumes in 1Q05 was responsible for the expansion of 14.1% and 5.9% on the “Income on Credit Operations” and “Income on Checking Accounts”, up by R$ 35 million and R$ 22 million, respectively.

Administrative and Personnel Expenses remained practically stable in 1Q05 when compared to the same period last year, reaching R$ 2,413 million against R$ 2,385 million in 1Q04, as a result of the focus on the cost reduction and control. The nominal change in Administrative Expenses y-o-y presents a R$ 16 million decrease. However, if such expenses were adjusted by the average inflation of the period, of 9.3%, the real decrease would have been of R$ 127 million. Personnel Expenses presented a slight raise if R$ 44 million when compared to 1Q04, mainly dueto:(i)thepayrollincreaseresultedfromthecollective bargaining agreement (8.5%) in September/04 –R$ 109 million; (ii) higher employee profit sharing expenses – R$ 20 million; offset by: (iii) reduction in personnel expenses, related to the synergies obtained in administrative processes.

When compared to 4Q04, Administrative and Personnel Expenses decreased by R$ 160 million, down by 6.2%, from R$ 2,573 million in 4Q04 to R$ 2,413 in 1Q05. Administrative Expenses were reduced in R$ 97 million when compared to 4Q04, but when the seasonal effect from advertising and personnel expenses is excluded, Administrative Expenses remained practically stable when compared to 4Q04. Personnel Expenses in 4Q04 and 1Q05, were influenced by extraordinary effects, such as: (i) single payment bonus in 4Q04 – R$ 29 million; and (ii) concentration of vacation period in 1Q05 –R$ 37 million. In addition, 1Q05 was impacted by: (iii) higher employee profit sharing expenses –R$ 10 million; and (iv) higher expenses from dismissals – R$ 16 million. If these effects are excluded, a R$ 15 million recurring decrease in expenses is observed.

Operating Efficiency Ratio in percentage


The Operating Efficiency Ratio (accumulated for the 12-month period) for 1Q05, was of 52.7%, down by 2.8% as compared to 2004, mainly as a result of the jointly successful and simultaneous efforts to increase revenues, in particular, the growth of R$ 669 million in the Financial Margin, resulted from both the expansion of income on securities in 1Q05 and the increase in revenues for services rendered, totaling R$ 342 million, as a consequence of the client base growth coupled with the cross-selling index improvement, in addition to emphasis an focus on keeping administrative costs under strict control by the establishing goals for the maintenance of their nominal value. It is worth highlighting that personnel and administrative expenses remained practically stable, taking into consideration that in the prior 12 months the average inflation rate (IGP-M/IPCA) reached 9.3%. (N.B. If we had excluded from the calculation basis of the Operating Efficiency Ratio the expenses from goodwill amortization of the last 12 months, in the amount of R$ 354 million, would result in a drop of 1.0 percentage point, from 52.7% to 51.7%) .

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 a 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 Securities by Segment – in percentage


Credit Operations

The consolidated balance of credit operations at the end of 1Q05 reached a total of R$ 66.0 billion, up by 5.1% in the quarter and by 20.2% in the last twelve months. The result is in line with the performance of the Financial Market as a whole, which, in the same periods, increased 4.3% and 21.0% respectively, according to the Brazilian Central Bank data as from April 27, 2005.

As in 2004, Bradesco’s credit portfolio growth was once more guided by operations for individuals, related to the consumer sales financing and revolving credit. In the corporate segment, reflecting an elevated preoccupation related to the behavior of the basic interest rate (Selic), there is still no higher demand for credit aimed at the increase in the productive capacity nor infra-structure, remaining the demand concentrated in lines to supply the companies´ immediate working capital needs. Additionally, the generalized improvement noticed in the operating results from most of the sectors in 2004 and the maintenance of more favorable conditions to obtain funding from the capital markets led companies to use alternative ways to supply the demand for funds.

For the next quarters, our expectations are directed to a gradual growth in the credit granting activity for the banking sector, coupled with the maintenance of the expansion of consumer sales financing, considering not only the unattended demand but also the recent enlargement by the banks of distribution channels and products destined to this segment. Moreover, a more uniform increase between foreign market businesses and those related to local consumption and to infrastructure is expected.

Credit Operations – Total Portfolio


Credit for individuals continued to lead the growth of the portfolio in the 1st quarter, recording an increase of 11.9% in the period, accumulating 44.2% in the last twelve months. The sustainable recovery of the economic activities raised the trust of individuals and guaranteed a more stable scenario, therefore pushing the increase of concessions directed to consumer sales financing as well as to the investment of families. Also contributed for this higher dynamism the recent partnerships established by Bradesco, which included the acquisition of specific portfolios from smaller institutions, as well as the effects of agreements signed with banks and retail chains.


Credit Operations per Type of Client



On the other hand, in line with the economic movements that prevailed in 2004, the behavior of credit conceded to companies continued to show a more moderate performance (1.6% in 1Q05), which was also strongly influenced by the use of other types of funding operations from the capital markets (debentures and credit assignment funds, among others), accessed mainly by large corporations.

Credit Portfolio per Business Segment


In the wake of the higher increase in the individuals segment operations, its relative participation in the credit portfolio was more meaningful in the period, already representing, in March 2005, 36% of the total portfolio.

When sector distribution is concerned, the industry remained in absolute terms with the highest credit volume (27.7% of the total portfolio), especially the segments related to exports, such as agribusiness, steel, metallurgy and automotive, followed by Services (17.4%) and Commerce (15.4%) .

Regardless of the distribution at end of the quarter, the segmentation strategy developed up to now has been allowing the enlargement of businesses in different client profiles, both individuals (especially vehicles financing lines and personal credit) and micro, small and medium companies through the expansion of borrowings and discounted securities, basically destined to supply the demand of working capital. Another benefits resulting from this process were both the diversification in terms of client quantity and the change in the mix of the credit profile. It shall be stressed the continuity of the increase of operations with Sureties and Guarantees, whose balance evolved 12.2% in the quarter and 40.2% in the last twelve months, especially in the large companies segment.

Credit Portfolio Quality

Similarly to the income reached in 2004, the 1st quarter of 2005 kept the bias of progressive and constant improvement in the credit portfolio profile. AA-to-C rated credits, classified by BACEN as normal course operations, totaled 92.5% of the total balance, compared to 92.3% in December 2004.

Credit Operations by Rating in percentage


As a preventive measure, the Bank decided to raise in R$ 166 million the allowance for loan losses in this quarter, related to the operations of a large utilities concessionaire which is under a debt restructuring process.

The volume of the allowance for loan losses presented a slight decrease in the quarter, from 6.6% in December 2004 to 6.5% in March 2005, totaling R$ 4,301 million. We stress, however, that out of this amount, only 43.4% effectively comprises operations past due for more than 15 days (installments overdue and falling due) and the remaining portion is recorded as a precaution only, based on the customers' internal rating (34.8%) or to cover specific and general portfolio risks (21.8%), in excess of the minimum required.

In this respect, we highlight that the volume recorded as allowance in recent years has proved sufficient not only to cover, comfortably, the minimum requirements established by Resolution 2682 of the Brazilian Central Bank, but also to cover credit losses (recorded subsequent to the regulatory 12-month period), confirming the consistency of Bradesco's policy for recording the allowance for loan losses.

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


Considering that, as a rule, Bradesco transfers its non-performing loans to loss, subsequent to a default period of 12 months, in compliance with BACEN regulations, the percentage of credits written off to loss for the prior 12 months, compared to the percentage of existing credits in the prior year, is an important indicator of portfolio quality.

For our readers' convenience , the curve of the amounts written off for the 12 months prior to the corresponding determination was moved to permit a direct comparison between the percentage of expected loss and the amounts effectively written off.

Both historically and in March 2005 status, the percentage of overdue credits rated E-to-H of total credit operations shows a similar path to that recorded by losses, anticipating their behavior.

Credit Portfolio Profile

Breakdown of the Normal Course Credit Portfolio by Maturity
R$ million


The maturity of the normal course credit portfolio evidences a concentration of short-term lines, with 39.2% maturing in up to 90 days. However, the prior 12 months indicate a gradual lengthening of credit operation terms, as a result of the ervironment of greater economic stability.

Movement of Credit Portfolio between March 2004 and 2005 R$ million


The performance of the consolidated credit portfolio over the prior twelve months up to March 2005 evidences 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.

As a result of the maintenance of the tendency of the proportion of credits granted to individuals, the concentration of credit among the Bank's largest borrowers kept decreasing in March 2005 in relative terms, though the balances’ total significance have presented a small increase, as can be evidenced in the following table:

Number of Policyholders in thousands


Up to March 2005, there was an increase of 20.7% in the average client base when compared to the same period of the previous year.

When comparing 1Q05 to the same period of the prior year, Bradesco Saúde maintained its outstanding 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 policyholders employed by 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, 32 are Bradesco clients in the Health and Dental Health lines and out of the country's 50 largest companies, 28% are Bradesco Saúde clients. (source: Exame Magazine's Biggest and Best List, July 2004).

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 policyholders, prospects and brokers.

Until March 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 9.7% share of total market billings in this area.

In the major risk segment, Bradesco Auto/RE participates in the insurance coverage of 150 out of Brazil's 500 largest companies and maintains the outstanding position among the Brazilian market's largest insurance companies in this business segment.

Bradesco Seguro Aeronáutico (Flight Insurance), which was launched in February 2004, increased Bradesco Auto/RE's competitiveness in that particular portfolio and facilitated the securing of a number of new premiums, in particular, for executive aircraft.

SIGA – (Integrated Policy Management System) has already celebrated its 1st anniversary in March 2005, being considered as a success by providing our Transports operations with facility and dynamics. This new tool can be easily used by our policyholders and brokers concerning several situations, of which we highlight the surveys to policies (conditions and changes), legal departures, invoices' status, certifications issuance, quotations requirements etc. Costumers can visit the site www.sigatransportes.com.br , and the brokers and producers may visit the 100% Broker's site ( www.bradescoseguros.com.br ).

Special emphasis should also be given to the combined actions carried out by the Production and Corporate areas, facilitating increased success in the renewal of policies and the securing of new business in the non-mass insurance segment.

The interaction among Bradesco Auto / RE's Corporate Area with the other companies belonging to Bradesco Organization is under constant expansion. Besides continuing to complement Bradesco Consórcios and Banco Bradesco – Department of Cards' operations, it is in process of final approval a new product focused on protecting debit cards for all Banco Bradesco's account holders. Moreover, during the 1st half-year, we will be making available an exclusive product of Engineering Risks for buildings financed by Banco Bradesco.

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

Other high profitability segment was the Diverse Risks directed to equipments, 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 customers and contributing significantly for the increase in income of the current period.

In the Auto/RCF line, the market was affected by intense competition, aggravated by a small growth in insured vehicle market. Although sales of new vehicles had a significant growing of 8.7%, it has represented an average addition of only 1.5% on vehicles insured in the market. During the period, we maintained our technically correct pricing policy, focused on balanced portfolio results. Emphasis should also be given to the launching of our new pricing policy based on the policy holders' specific characteristics and maintenance of the 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 February 5, 2005 was 18.0%.

In February, a training program was started in order to coach 25 new Managers, as a result of the continuous concern for providing to customers the sales team with the best qualification of the market.

Among the various significant achievements obtained, we highlight 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 some 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 designed to meet the needs of this special ex-pat community.

Customers have access to an exclusive UFJ-Bradesco Branch 7-days-a-week with 40 bilingual (Japanese and Portuguese) employees who attend 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$ 55.8 billion.

Target Market


The 1,239 Economic Groups comprising Bradesco Corporate’s target market, which is comprised by large corporations which record billings in excess of R$ 180 million per annum, are located in the states of São Paulo, both the capital and inner state, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Goiás, Pernambuco and Bahia.


Specialized Structures

In addition to the teams specialized in the different economic sectors, this service also maintains structures entirely dedicated to the management of specific customers:

Euro Desk – this structure is focused on the management of customers of Spanish origin and the development of financial solutions for Bradesco Corporate companies, prospecting business synergies in Europe, the U.S. and Latin America.

Asian Desk – this structure is focused on the management of customers of Asian origin and the development of financial solutions, acting as an economic and financial advisor in business carried out with Japan and the Asian continent as a whole.

Agribusiness – the structure operates throughout this economic segment's production chain in the pursuit to implement feasible structured solutions to meet the specific needs of companies, as well as offering traditional services and products.

Bradesco Empresas (Middle Market)

Bradesco's middle market segment, Bradesco Empresas, was created in 2002, designed to offer quality corporate customer service for companies with annual billings from R$ 15 million to R$ 180 million, through 66 exclusively reserved Branches in the main Brazilian capitals.

Aiming the proximity to the customer base, Bradesco Private Banking holds two offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro as well as 7 service units in Porto Alegre, Blumenau, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador and Recife.

Bradesco Prime

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 provided 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. One of the Compliance Department employee is a GARP (Global Association of Risk Professionals) certified financial risk manager, having sat and passed this internationally recognized exam.

Aware that integrated risk management provides a competitive edge to activities, Bradesco formed the Risk Management Department in July 1998 which, subsequent to the incorporation of compliance functions 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 credit, market, and operating risks besides the compliance functions (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

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, making every effort 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), in respect to market and actuarial risks, consolidating a single risk management culture on an Organization-wide basis.

The Risk Management and Compliance Department is also responsible for coordinating compliance with the regulations to be issued by the Brazilian Central Bank, complementing Communiqué 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 permits the enhancement 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 enhancement process, Bradesco is working uninterruptedly to improve the procedures for gathering and controlling portfolio information, developing new loss estimation models, enhancing and preparing the rating inventories used in the different sectors in which the Bank operates, as well as overseeing credit analysis, granting and settlement processes, monitoring credit concentration and identifying the causes of default and in the preparation of 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 credit 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, that takes place once a month with the participation of senior management, focusing on assuring the strategic management of the Organization’s credit portfolio.

The following efforts, among others, are highlighted:

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 different activities, affecting both customers and the Institution.

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

The Organization has prepared an action plan designed to achieve full compliance with the 10 principles of Good Operating-Risk-Management Practice 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, designed to monitor and properly comprehend operating loss events, facilitating an in-depth assessment, based on either management or accounting controls.

Considering its important status in the Brazilian financial scenario, 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.

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 is monitored on a strict basis by the financial market to avoid losses for institutions.

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; V@R (Value at Risk) limits are defined by Senior Management, and compliance is monitored daily by an area which is independent from portfolio management. The methodology used to determine V@R has a reliability level of 97.5%. The volatilities and correlations used by the models are calculated on statistical bases and used in processes based on future prospects in accordance with economic studies.

Investments abroad are strategically protected by hedge transactions, in amounts that consider tax effects, which minimize risk sensibility and the consequent impact on results. Thus, as they are differently managed, they are not included in the V@R calculation.

The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

In addition, a daily Gap Analysis is performed to measure the effect of the movement in the internal interest rate and foreign exchange coupon curves (interest spread paid above the foreign exchange variation) on the portfolio.

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 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, designed to optimize processes and procedures, among which we highlight the following:


– information is gathered legally and with the customers' knowledge;

– information transmitted to Bradesco is stored integrally and securely 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;

– customer 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 liquidation 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).

Credit Policy


Designed to ensure maximum security, quality and liquidity in the investment of assets, minimizing risks inherent to all types of credit operation, the Organization's Credit Policy also seeks to offer agile and profitable business, applying appropriate methodology for each of the Bank's business segments, as well as directing the establishment of operating limits and the granting of credit.

Credit is granted based on a highly automated and efficient approvals system, supported by assessment policies which are geared by constantly improving technical parameters designed to ensure proper support for credit decisions.

As part of this system, the Branches operate within varying limits depending on the size and type of guarantee offered, while specialized Credit Scoring systems maximize the speed and security of the approvals process, based on strict protection standards.

The Credit Committees located at the Bank's Headquarters also play an important role, centralizing, analyzing and authorizing credit operations at amounts above the Branch limits and managing this core strategic activity.

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 presumed, considering the purpose and terms of the credit granted.



Methodology Used for Credit Portfolio Classification


In addition to supporting the establishment of minimum parameters for granting credit and managing risk, the credit risk scoring system established by the Brazilian Central Bank also facilitates the definition of differentiated credit policies based on the customer's specific characteristics and size, providing a basis for the correct pricing of operations and for establishing the most appropriate guarantees for each situation.

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

Classification Corporate


Rating  Bradesco  % Provision  Concept 




AA  Excellent  0.0 
Premium company/group, with size, tradition and market leadership, with excellent reputation and economic and financial position. 




A  Very good  0.5 
Company/group with size, sound economic and financial position, acting in markets with good prospects and/or potential for expansion. 




B  Good  1.0 
Company/group which, regardless of size, has a good economic and financial position. 




C  Acceptable  3.0 
Company/group with a satisfactory economic and financial situation but with performance subject to economic scenario variations. 




D  Fair  10.0 
Company/group with economic and financial position in decline or unsatisfactory accounting information, under risk management.




E  Deficient  30.0 
Abnormal course credit operations, classified based on expected loss as per percentage shown. 
F  Bad  50.0 
G  Critical  70.0 
H  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, as well as performance and past relationship with the Bank.

The number of transactions grew by 17.2% in 1Q05 compared to same quarter in 2004. Billings for the year reached the mark of R$ 3.1 billion, a growth rate of 15.3% as compared to the same period in 2004, with a market share of 13.0% of cards under the Visa and MasterCard banners.

This is a strategic partnership, as it improves the Bank’s access to a larger number of customers in the South and Central West regions.

In the 1Q05, Brazilian exports reached the significant volume of US$ 24.4 billion, a 25.7% growth rate as compared to the same period of 2004. It is worth highlight that for the first time in the foreign trade history, Brazil reached US$ 100 billion in exports when considering the performance of the period from March/2004 to February/2005.

In the import market, total business conducted by the International Area in the 1Q05 presented a better performance if compared to the same period of 2004.

The foreign exchange portfolio is financed by credit lines obtained from correspondent Banks. Until the end of March of the current fiscal year approximately 81 U.S., European and Asian Banks had extended credit lines to Bradesco. At the end of 1Q05, the cost of obtaining export financing lines reached its lowest level in recent years, between 22 and 35 basis points above LIBOR for a period between 180 days and 360 days, respectively. Compared to the same term of 2004, the decrease totaled some 21 basis points, evidencing a substantial improvement in the Brazil risk perception by the international market.

In addition to this source of funding, the Bank also has a US$ 300 million Commercial Paper program in the United States.

We present below the balance of assets and stockholders' equity of the foreign units on 3.31.2005:

The core objective of the Foreign Branches and Subsidiaries is to obtain funds in the international market for onlending to customers, principally 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 customers and to increase foreign trade operations.

The Organization continued the rationalization process started in 2004, designed to close down certain units abroad. In 1Q05, BCN and Mercantil Cayman were merged into Bradesco Cayman and Boavista Banking Ltd Nassau was merged into Boavista Cayman, followed by the closing down of Boavista Banking Ltd Nassau.

At the end of 1Q05, as well as short-term funds obtained from correspondent banks for foreign trade financing, US$ 195 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.

Emphasis should also be given, among funding operations in 1Q05, to the issuance, in February, of Eurobonus equivalent to US$ 100 million, with a 3-year term.

Business Processes


Alô Bradesco

The Alô Bradesco service, a direct and open channel with users of the Bank's different sectors, facilitates the improvement of customer relations through the suggestions and complaints received in relation to the Organization's products and services. From its creation, prior even to the introduction of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code, this service has proved to be an instrument of important strategic value, as a result of its transparency, capacity to detect trends and conciliate interests, anticipating solutions in line with the constantly evolving market.

NBR ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certificate


The Bradesco Organization ended the year with 81 Products and Services certified by this high-level distinction, confirming the Bank's commitment to assuring ongoing ease and convenience for its customers 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.

A thorough knowledge of the Bank's activities, as well as the correct measurement of the resources consumed by these activities, permit 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 charges are based; product, unit and customer profitability systems support; support for studies concerning outsourcing, incorporations and equipment sharing, as well as support for cost rationalization studies.

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 pro-active 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 customers 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 solution mySAP Business Suite.

This sistem’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 sync 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.

Recognition


Bradesco is the first private Brazilian institution to be listed in the Forbes Global 2000 ranking, from the Forbes American magazine, which lists the 2 thousand largest companies in the world. The survey evaluates criteria such as sales results, profits, assets and market value. The Bank is ranked with sales of US$ 17.38 billion and market value of US$ 13.42 billion.

The Bank was also rated as the asset manager with the more “5 stars” funds by the Invest Tracker – O Estado de São Paulo newspaper ranking, in March, with 18 investment funds. This is the third consecutive year that the Bank is highlighted in the poll, performed by Thomson Financial Brasil, which takes into consideration the adherence, risk, yield and performance.

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 regards its staff very highly and adopts the management policy of encouraging its people to seek promotion at all hierarchal levels. A customary saying 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". We have a closed-career policy, whereby the majority of our employees are admitted at apprentice levels or following 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. As well as being ranked among the 150 best companies in which to work in Brazil, Bradesco was also rated among the 50 best companies for women 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. Some 900 employees were selected by the researchers to take part in the survey.

In 2004, Bradesco was also highlighted 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, created in 2003, 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 is being deployed in several areas, providing a profile ID of the collaborators. Based on this knowledge, leaders and employees are able to share actions focused on improving their performance and relationships, as well as establishing goals designed to improve their key skills.


Workplace Health and Safety Policies

Bradesco adopts preventive measures about health through information and guidance programs focusing on the employees. The issues addressed include: RSI/WRMD (Repetitive Stress Injury/ Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders), Stress, Chemical Dependence, (Alcoholism/Drugs), Obesity, Cardiovascular Diseases, Fire Prevention and Combat , Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Aids and other. Those campaigns take place through the Interação magazine and in the Sipat (Internal Week of Work Accidents’ Prevention).

When hired, the employee also receives a brochure about Physical and Relaxing Exercises.

The quality of the furniture, machinery and equipment used by employees is based on the guidelines contained in the Ergonomic Workplace Analysis designed to reduce physical effort and discomfort and correct harmful posture.

We are permanently alert to the number of normal and overtime hours worked by our staff, guaranteeing that employees have time for their personal commitments and leisure.

Winding Down Room: the Bank offers its Call Center staff at the Santa Cecília building, a room for winding down, which is designed to offer a comfortable environment and extra emotional support. The room is completely different to the other Organization environments and is equipped with furniture and apparatus to assist relaxation and soften the impact of the operators' day-to-day activities in and out of the call center. The room is open to all the employees of that section in the event of conflicting situations or psychological and emotional necessities.

Social Inclusion

Youth Apprenticeship Program: This is another Bradesco initiative focused on promoting Brazilian social inclusion. Based on Law 10,097, of December 19, 2000, this project is focused on enabling young people to know about banking services and it is carried out in partnership with the Fundação Bradesco. Besides of the job, it includes a knowledge process to greatly enlarge the opportunities for young people to gain experience and preparation for the employment market and for their own lives.

This project creates future prospects for these young people, seeking to transform their personal and social reality. At present, Bradesco has 404 Young People on its Apprenticeship Program and expects to double this number thru 2006.

Equal Opportunity for the Disabled: Bradesco has a policy which includes opportunities for Disabled People, and under efforts of increasing the hiring number of these professionals, it is becoming partner of specialized institutions for pointing out the candidates.

On March 31, 2005, Bradesco's employees, including staff at the subsidiaries, totaled 72,619.

Training

The Staff Training Department has created and provides specific professional capacity building and enhancement programs providing employees with technical knowledge and behavioral skills, which are in sync with the Organization's needs and market requirements.

Designed to provide ongoing improvement and quality staff training activities, this area is ISO 9001:2000 certified, guaranteeing that course requests are approved and that employees are satisfied with the programs offered and that training activities are efficient.

The on-line training, internally called TreiNet, allows the employees to practice their knowledge by their own, involving 437,728 employee participations in the 34 courses available. At the 1st quarter, 3 more technical programs were made available: GDAD –Basic Concepts, Windows’ Basic Information and Fixed Assets’ Inventory. Up to the end of the year we estimate to develop new courses. Together with Fundação Bradesco, there are 13 courses available via TreiNet for customers who have Conta Universitária Bradesco (a special account for students).

In this period, together with other medias used for trainings, we made available 4 more on-line trainings, that are: Projeto Nikkei (Nikkei Project), Conta PAB de Relacionamento (PAB Relationship Account), Consórcio-Contemplação de Imóveis e Canais de Conveniência (Securities and Convenience Channels’ Contemplating-Consortium). Besides we also distributed 3 on-line trainings, with materials included, that broach the following subjects: Business Prospecting System, New Rules related to Taxes and Income Tax and Support to the Operators of Self-Service’s Terminals.

In compliance with Resolution 3,158/03, of the National Monetary Council, preparatory programs for the compulsory Investment Product Certification Exam, were implemented by the Bank. These programs are specifically designed for our specialists in investments responsible for providing investment advice in the Branch Network and to institutional investors. Some 4,750 of our professionals have successfully sat this exam to date.

In this period, the Insurance Universe – UNIVERSEG project was continued for brokers and dealerships that sell Bradesco Seguros e Previdência’s products. Courses are offered in-class or online, via TreiNetSeg, TreiNetPrev and TreiNetCapi with specific courses for the Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bonds areas.

The new strategies towards the Retail Market Segment were greatly improved with the Customers’Management, that broach, among other subjects, the customers’ managements model in order to simplify the relationship, taking into account its potential for increasing the assets and the branches’ incomes, with 775 participations in the period and estimating 3,000 participations up to the end of the year. The Crédito no Varejo (Retail Market Credit) program is also highlighted, aiming to qualify the Accounts Managers that work with corporate customers and in allowance to credit for micro and small businesses. This program’s development could count on Sebrae’s partnership and the estimate for this year is about 3,000 participations.

Since 1996, in partnership with educational institutions such as FIA, FIPE, FGV and Ibmec, 1,076 of the Organization's employees obtained MBAs or other Post-Graduate Degrees and Specialization courses. In this quarter, a group commenced studying for the Controller-MBA, in partnership with Fipecafi, with 30 participants, from diverse areas. Three other groups started their MBAs in banking business (two in-class groups and one on-line group) developed for branch managers Organization-wide in partnership with FGV – São Paulo and FGV – Rio de Janeiro, with 100 participants.

Sociocultural Events

In 1Q05, Bradesco participated in the Summer and Carnival Festival in Salvador (State of Bahia), the musical event Planeta Atlântida in Florianópolis (State of Santa Catarina) and Porto Alegre (RS) and the Fenavinho – National Festival of Wine in Bento Gonçalves (State of Rio Grande do Sul). Bradesco also took part in the Show Rural Coopavel in Cascavel (PR), ExpoAgrodinâmica in Não-Me-Toque (State of Rio Grande do Sul) and Expogrande – Expo Agropecuária of Campo Grande (Sate of Mato Grosso do Sul).

In the cultural area, Bradesco sponsored the Project Music in Museums (Concertos de Verão – Summer Concerts), 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.

In the educational area, Fundação Bradesco continued the development project of Digital Inclusion Center – CID, which allows, among others, the access of low-income people to computer courses. In January 2005, the first Centre was opened, addressed to the Native Brazilian Community, in Canuanã, Ilha do Bananal, in the State of Tocantins.

On March 6, Fundação Bradesco promoted, for the third year in a row, the National Day of Volunteer Action in its 40 schools and in other 50 nation wide community facilities. The action executed more than 700 thousand services, benefiting thousands of deprived people with 650 activities developed in the areas of: health, citizenship, art, environment, technology, sport and leisure. About 11 thousand volunteers took part, comprising a wide range of people such as: students, teachers, employees, doctors, dentists, nutritionists, nurses, psychologists and lawyers.



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. From that time on, the program has become a benchmark for assistance in the education of young people, using sports through the formation of womens' basketball and volleyball teams as an instrument for social inclusion. At present, 3,882 girls from 10 to 16 years old, enrolled at school and attending classes on a regular basis are included in the program. Some 70% of these girls come 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 Greater São Paulo. Acting in partnership with the local City Hall, 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.

From its creation, 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 not-for-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.



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 assistance.

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 interchange 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, Philosophy for High School and Cultural Diversity as well as other important support 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 job 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 job market, Fundação Bradesco provides access to the emerging and fast-changing business world.



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 courses, presenting flexible programs, in the same track of the job 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 Hosting (Tourism, Hosting 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 can attend 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 philosophy education alone is capable of forming citizens who are participative and aware of their role in society.



Significant Events

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 access to public services via Internet, besides of appraising citizenship with actions development pronounced with the communities, Fundação Bradesco deployed two more CIDs – Digital Inclusion Centers: one located at Rio de Janeiro and the other one at Javaés/TO, which is the first digital inclusion center located at Native Brazilian indian community. The project together with 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 provide reinforcement for the activities, acting as main characters.

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.



School’s Location

The majority of the Fundação Bradesco’s educational units are located on the outskirts of major cities or in rural areas where there is a significant lack of educational and welfare assistance. Thousands of students in all over Brazil are given the opportunity to study at these schools.

Management Report

We are pleased to present the Financial Statements for the quarter ended on March 31, 2005 of Banco Bradesco S.A., as well as the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Brazilian Corporate Legislation.

Among the important events for the quarter at the Bradesco Organization, we highlight the following:

In the quarter, Bradesco presented Net Profit of R$ 1.205 billion, equivalent to R$ 2.45 per stock, annualized profitability of 32.50% on the final Net Equity and of 34.72% on the average Net Equity.

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

Stockholders’ Equity is equivalent to 8.67% of the consolidated Assets, which increased 18.84% in relation to March/2004, totaling R$ 191.299 billion. Therefore, the capital adequacy ratio reached 17.11% on the consolidated financial basis and 14.97% on the consolidated economic and financial basis; hence, over the minimum of 11% established by the Resolution 2099, from 8.17.1994, of the National Monetary Council of Brazil, in conformity to the Basel Committee. After the end of the quarter, the ratio of permanent assets, related to the Consolidated Reference Equity, was 43.85% in the consolidated financial basis and 21.13% 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, of 11.8.2001, Bradesco declares that it has the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified in the “securities held to maturity” category.

Global income funded and managed by Bradesco Organization, on March 31, recorded an increase of 20.50% when compared to the same period last year, totaling R$ 276.767 billion, distributed as follows:

Credit Operations, at the end of the period, recorded the balance of R$ 65.979 billion, with an increase of 20.19% in relation to March/2004, including in this amount:

The consolidated balance of the allowance for loan loss reached R$ 4.301 billion, corresponding to 6.52% of the total volume of credit operations.

Bradesco destined for Real Estate Financing activities during 1Q05 the amount of R$ 150.157 million for the building and acquisition of homes, corresponding to 1,898 real estates.

In Capital Markets, Bradesco intermediated important operations of public placement of stocks, debentures and promissory notes, which totaled, in the quarter, R$ 715.852 million, representing 6.51% of all issuances recorded at CVM. Moreover, the Bank participated vigorously in the advisory of special operations, especially credit assignment funds, mergers and acquisitions, project finance and financial and partnership restructurings.

At the end of the quarter, the Bradesco Organization Network, at service of customers and users, comprised 12,800 outlets, parallel to 22,060 Bradesco Night and Day ATMs, 19,873 of which also operate at weekends and on bank holidays:

In compliance with the provisions of CVM Instruction 381, no non-audit services were contracted by the Bradesco Organization or provided by KPMG Auditores Independentes for an amount which exceeds 5% of the total external audit costs. This policy complies with the principles designed to maintain the independence of external auditors as follows: auditors should not audit their own work, nor exercise management functions for their clients, nor promote the interests of such clients. Each external audit is contracted for a maximum five-year period pursuant to the Brazilian Central Bank regulations.

The social work of the Organization is focused on educational and assistance programs developed through Fundação Bradesco, with presence in all of Brazil’s states and the Federal District, with an educational network comprising 40 schools installed as a priority in regions which are both socially and economically deprived. More than 107 thousand students received education free of charge, including those enrolled on its youth and adult education and basic professional training courses. Another important aspect of the Fundação Bradesco’s work, on a national level, is the provision of free meals, uniforms, school materials and medical/dental care to its more than 50 thousand junior, middle and high school and technical training students.

In the Human Resources Area, Bradesco continued its wide ranging training and qualification programs, designed to the qualification and development of the staff, for enhancing service and the required level of products and services rendered. In the quarter, 393 courses were given, with 116,201 participants. The assistance benefits that target to assure the well-being, the improvement in the quality of life and security of employees and its offspring comprised, on March 31, 175,535 lives.

The accomplishments and positions conquered reflect the dimension of the strategy developed by the Bradesco Organization, always based on concepts of quality and efficiency. For the achievements reached, we thank the support and the trust of our stockholders and customers and the efficient and dedicated work of our employees and other collaborators.

1) OPERATIONS

Banco Bradesco S.A. is a private-sector open-capital company which, operating as a Multiple Bank, carries out all types of authorized banking activities through its commercial, foreign exchange, investment, consumer financing, housing loan and credit card portfolios. The Bank also operates in a number of other activities through its direct and indirect subsidiary companies, particularly in Leasing, Consortium Management, Insurance, Savings Bonds and Private Pension Plan activities. Operations are conducted within the context of the companies comprising the Bradesco Group, which are jointly active in the market.

2) PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of Banco Bradesco S.A. include the financial statements of Banco Bradesco S.A., its foreign branches and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and jointly controlled investments, in Brazil and abroad, and Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). They were prepared based on accounting policies determined by Brazilian Corporation Law for the recording of operations, as well as the rules and instructions of the National Monetary Council (CMN), Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Agency for Supplementary Healthcare (ANS), and comprise the financial statements of the leasing companies based on the capital leasing method of accounting, whereby leased assets are reclassified to the leasing operations account.

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 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.

We highlighted the main ownerships included in the consolidation:

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 income on commissions, 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 provision for unearned premiums and deferred selling expenses. The accepted coinsurance and retrocession operations are recorded based on the information received from other companies and the Brazilian Institute of 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 “Selling 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 therefrom is recognized

b) Interbank investments

Purchase and sale commitments subject to unrestricted movement agreements are adjusted to market value. Other assets are recorded at purchase cost, including accrued income 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 results 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 cost, plus accrued earnings, as a counter-entry to results 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.

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) Credit and leasing operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables and allowance for loan and leasing losses

Credit 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 credit operations past due up to 60 days is recorded in income on credit operations and subsequent to the 61st 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 loan losses 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)

Deferred 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 - Taxes and social security contributions”. Only deferred tax assets which have already acquired tax deductibility rights are recorded on amortization of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets on temporary additions are realized upon use and/or reversal of the corresponding provisions on which they were recorded. Deferred tax assets 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% for income over established limits. 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.

g) Technical reserves relating to insurance, pension plan and savings bonds activities

Provision for unearned premiums

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 standards.

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 are adjusted for price-level restatement.

Unsettled claims and IBNR

The reserve for unsettled claims 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 reserve for claims 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.

h) Investments

Significant investments in subsidiary and associated 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 Chamber of Financial Clearance and Custody of Private Securities (CETIP) and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) were recorded at their unaudited net book values, informed by the corresponding exchanges and fiscal incentives and other investments were recorded at cost, less the provision for loss, when applicable.

i) Property and equipment in use

This is stated at cost, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation, calculated on the straight-line method at annual rates which take into consideration the economic useful lives of the assets as follows: buildings in use - 4% per annum; furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment – 10% per annum; data processing systems - 20% to 50% per annum; and transport systems - 20% per annum.

j) 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.

k) Deposits and funds obtained in the open market

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

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 effectively established.

(1) 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, repayable through 2009, under terms which do not exceed those of the funds obtained, with interest payable at LIBOR, plus a spread or pre-fixed interest;
(ii) for financing 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.

(2) Securitization of money orders and credit card bill receivables from cardholders abroad
From 2003 on, Organization Bradesco 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.

These assets consist mainly of the following:

(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 effected in Brazilian territory by holders of cards issued outside of Brazil.

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

The funds derived from the sale of current and future money orders and credit card receivables, received by the SPE, 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 provisions were recorded based on the opinion of the Organization’s legal advisors, the types of lawsuit, similarity with previous suits, complexity and jurisprudence and prior court sentences, whenever loss is deemed probable.

The Organization’s Management considers that the provision 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 1977 are no longer significant.

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

Civil suits

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 suits were brought at the small claims court, i.e., for amounts of less than the maximum limit of 40 minimum wages. Moreover, some 50% of these suits are judged unfounded and the average cost of each indemnity is some 5% of the total amount claimed.

At present, there are no significant administrative suits 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 their legal advisors.

The provisions recorded segregated by legal sphere are as follows:

c) Interest attributed to own capital

Non-voting preferred shares are entitled to all rights and benefits attributed to common shares and in conformity with the Bank’s statutes have priority to repayment of capital and 10% additional interest attributed to 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 10303/2001.

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

Interest attributed to 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 attributed to own capital, determined in conformity with the above criteria and to compute this interest for purposes of the minimum compulsory dividend, net of withholding tax (IRRF).

Interests were paid on the own capital, as follows:

33) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

a) Risk and risk management

The main risks related to financial instruments, arising from the business carried out by the Bank and its subsidiaries are as follows: credit risk; market risk; liquidity risk; and capital risk. Risk management involves an integrated series of controls and processes, embracing a range of different policies and strategies. These risk management policies are designed to limit possible loss for the Organization.

Credit risk

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 robust 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’s most advanced models.

Begun in 2004, the Credit Risk Executive Committee, performed monthly by the senior management, aims to ensure the strategic management of Bradesco’s credit operations portfolio.

We highlight, among others, the following:

Market risk

Market risk is related to the possibility of the loss of income from fluctuating rates caused by the unhedged terms, currencies and indices of the Institution's asset and liability portfolios. This risk is closely monitored by the financial market to avoid loss for the institutions.

At Bradesco Organization, market risks are managed through 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.

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

Investments abroad are strategically protected by hedge transactions, in amounts that consider tax effects, which minimize risk sensibility and the consequent impact on results. Thus, as they are differently managed, they are not included in the V@R calculation.

The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

We present below the V@R of the Own Portfolio positions (Treasury):

In addition, a daily Gap Analysis is performed to measure the effect of the movement in the internal interest rate and foreign exchange coupon curves (interest spread paid above the foreign exchange variation) on the portfolio.

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 fixed 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 liquidation terms of the Bank'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 is critical since it enables the Organization to settle transactions on a timely and secure 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

The Organization's capital is managed to optimize the risk-return ratio, 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).

Determination of market value of financial instruments:

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 are used by the Bank to hedge its asset and liability positions against the effect of exchange 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 administration of the FIE funds.

The contributions paid by employees and by Bradesco and its subsidiaries total 4% of salary, except for participants who in 2001 opted to migrate to the PGBL plan from the defined benefits plan and 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.

As well as 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. (into which Banco Baneb S.A., which had previously merged BEA S.A., was merged) maintains a supplementary pension plan managed by Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do BEA - CABEA, which is currently undergoing a sponsorship withdrawal process, with base date established at November 30, 2002 and whose sponsor’s contributions ceased from December 1, 2002. The plan’s actuarial liabilities are fully covered by the plan’s net assets.

Banco Alvorada S.A. (into which Banco Baneb S.A. was merged) sponsors supplementary pension plans of the defined contribution (PGBL) and defined benefits type, 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 the defined benefit and defined contribution type, through Caixa de Assistência e Aposentadoria dos Funcionários do Banco do Estado do Maranhão – CAPOF. The actuarial liabilities of the defined benefit and defined contribution plans are fully covered by the net assets of the plans.

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

Expenses with contributions made during the 1st quarter of 2005 totaled R$ 63,133 thousand (in the 4th quarter of 2004 -R$ 56,966 thousand and in the 1st quarter of 2004– R$ 50,354 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 in the 1st quarter of 2005 –R$ 278,806 thousand (4th quarter of 2004 – R$ 286,487 thousand and 1st quarter of 2004 – R$ 246,207 thousand).
