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.

5,758 6,892 19.7 3,181 3,711 16.7


Income was up, despite falling interest rates, mainly as a result of: (i) the increase in the average volume of the credit portfolio, particularly in auto financings in the consumer segment, up by 46.1% and rural loans in the corporate segment, up by 33.6%, indicating improvements in the Brazilian economy for the period; (ii) positive exchange variation of 7.56% for 1H04 against negative exchange variation of 18.72% in 1H03, impacting foreign-currency indexed and/or denominated operations, which comprise 13.8% of total credit and leasing operations (excluding advances on foreign exchange contracts - ACC).
Income was up mostly as a result of : (i) positive exchange variation of 6.84% in 2Q04, against positive exchange variation of 0.67% in 1Q04, impacting foreign-currency indexed and/or denominated operations; and (ii) increase in average volume of the credit portfolio, particularly rural loans in the corporate and consumer segments, up by 35.2%, and auto financing in the consumer segment, up by 9.2%.



Results of Securities (TVM) and Derivative Financial Instrument Operations

2,799 3,928 40.3 1,876 2,052 9.4


The variation for the period is mainly due to: (i) positive exchange variation of 7.56% for 1H04, against negative exchange variation of 18.72% in 1H03, impacting foreign-currency-indexed and or denominated securities, which comprise 16.3% of the total securities’ portfolio; (ii) increase in the average volume of the securities’ portfolio, particularly federal government securities; mitigated in part by (iii) decrease in average interest rates, particularly CDI, of 11.79% in 1H03 to 7.56% for 1H04.
This increase reflects mainly:(i) positive exchange variation of 6.84% in 2Q04, against positive exchange variation of 0.67% in 1Q04, impacting foreign currency-indexed and or denominated securities; and (ii) the increase in the average volume of the securities’ portfolio, particularly federal government securities for the quarter.



Financial Income on Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds

1st Half/2003 1st Half /2004 % Variation   1st Qtr./2004 2nd Qtr./2004 % Variation






2,613 2,426 (7.2) 1,245 1,181 (5.1)


During the period, there was an increase in the average volume of the securities’ portfolio, comprising federal government securities, related to technical reserves, especially VGBL and PGBL products. However, overall results were down mainly due to: (i) the decrease in average interest rates, especially CDI, of 11.79% in 1H03 to 7.56% for 1H04; (ii) decrease in non-interest income following greater gains with variable income in 1H03; partially offset by (iii) variation in the IGP-M index, of 6.78% for 1H04, against 5.89% in 1H03, on which a portion of Federal Treasury Note (NTN) remuneration is based.
The variation for the quarter reflects, substantially: (i) decrease in non-interest income following greater gains with variable income in 1Q04; partially offset by (ii) the increase in the average volume of the securities’ portfolio, comprising federal government securities, related to technical reserves, especially VGBL and PGBL products; and by (iii) the variation in the IGP-M index, from 3.95% in 2Q04, against 2.72% in 1Q04, on which a portion of Federal Treasury Note (NTN) remuneration is based.



Results of Foreign Exchange Transactions

1st Half/2003 1st Half /2004 % Variation   1st Qtr./2004 2nd Qtr./2004 % Variation






268 663 147.4 161 502 211.8


During the period, there was an increase in the average volume of foreign exchange transactions. Considering foreign funding expense adjustments (Note 13a to the financial statements), results would decrease to R$ 134 for 1H03 and R$ 98 for 1H04, affected by the decrease in average fx portfolio interest rates.
During the period, there was an increase in the average volume of foreign exchange transactions. Considering foreign funding expense adjustments (Note 13a to the financial statements), results would decrease to R$ 63 for 1Q04 and R$ 35 for 2Q04, affected by the decrease in average fx portfolio interest rates.



Results of Compulsory Deposits

1st Half/2003 1st Half /2004 % Variation   1st Qtr./2004 2nd Qtr./2004 % Variation






731 558 (23.7) 289 269 (6.9)


During the period, there was an increase in the average volume subject to compulsory deposit. However, the income derived from the remuneration of the additional compulsory deposits, as well as the compulsory deposit on savings decreased as a result of: (i) the drop in the SELIC rate from 11.81% in 1H03 to 7.60% for 1H04, for additional deposits; and (ii) the decrease in the TR reference rate used to remunerate compulsory savings account deposits, from 2.61% in 1H03 to 0.77% for 1H04.
During the period, the increase in the average volume subject to compulsory deposit and the increase in the TR reference rate (used to remunerate compulsory savings account deposits) from 0.35% in 1Q04 to 0.42% in 2Q04 offset partially the decrease in income, generated by the drop in the SELIC rate (used to remunerate the additional compulsory deposit on demand, time and savings deposits) from 3.78% in 1Q04 to 3.69% in 2Q04.



Interest and Charges on Deposits

1st Half/2003 1st Half /2004 % Variation   1st Qtr./2004 2nd Qtr./2004 % Variation






4,496 5,484 22.0 2,454 3,030 23.5


The increase mainly reflects: (i) positive exchange variation of 7.56% for 1H04, against negative exchange variation of 18.72% in 1H03, impacting securities and other funds obtained abroad by Bradesco - R$ 2,310; offset partially by less expense with: (ii) time deposits - R$ 759; (iii) savings deposits - R$ 286; (iv) purchase and sale commitments - R$ 274; mainly as a result of lower average interest rates in 1H04.
The increase mainly reflects: (i) growth in positive exchange variation from 0.67% in 1Q04 to 6.84% in 2Q04, impacting securities and other funds obtained abroad by Bradesco - R$ 795; (ii) time deposits - R$ 77, which despite lower average interest rates, increased in average volume in 2Q04; partially offset by (iii) less expense for purchase and sale commitments - R$ 315; mainly due to decreased average volumes and lower average interest rates in 2Q04.



Price-level Restatement and Interest on Technical Reserves for Insurance, Private Pension Plans and Savings Bonds

1st Half/2003 1st Half /2004 % Variation   1st Qtr./2004 2nd Qtr./2004 % Variation






1,658 1,351 (18.5) 652 699 7.2


The decrease reflects principally the fall in average interest rates despite the increase in the average volume of technical reserves, particularly for PGBL and VGBL products.
This was up following the increase in the IGP-M index and average volume of technical reserves, particularly for PGBL and VGBL products.



Expenses for Borrowings and Onlendings

The increase is directly related to negative exchange variation of 18.72% in 1H03, against positive exchange variation of 7.56% in 1H04, impacting borrowings and onlendings indexed or denominated in foreign currency, offset by the decrease in average interest rates for the period.
The increase is directly related to growth in positive exchange variation from 0.67% in 1Q04 to 6.84% in 2Q04, impacting borrowings and onlendings indexed or denominated in foreign currency for the quarter.

5,977 6,411 7.3 3,330 3,081 (7.5)


The variation for the period was due to: (i) increase in interest income R$ 640, comprising growth in the average volume of business - R$ 637 and the increase in spread (interest rate plus exchange variation )- R$ 3; and (ii) the decrease in non-interest income - R$ 206, generated mainly by less profit on securities and treasury transactions for 1H04.
The variation for the quarter was due to: (i) increase in interest income operations - R$ 130, comprising the drop in the average volume of business - R$ 92 and by the increase in spread – R$ 38; and (ii) the decrease in non-interest income - R$ 379, generated mainly by less profit on securities and treasury transactions in 2Q04.

Excluding: (i) additional provisions - R$ 312 in 1H03 and R$ 46 in 1H04; (ii) extraordinary provisions recorded in 1H04 and R$ 61, as a result of improved determination criteria and (iii) the extraordinary increase in provisions recorded - R$ 120 for 1H04, reflecting the reclassification of certain customer ratings, including the securitization of rural credit - R$ 54, expenses decreased by R$ 235, mainly as a result of our selective credit granting policy, improving our credit portfolio risk ratings.
Excluding: (i) additional provisions - R$ 20 in 2Q04 and R$ 26 in 1Q04 and (ii) extraordinary provisions recorded in 1Q04 and R$ 120, as a result of improved determination criteria, expenses increased by R$ 79, in line with the growth of the average volume of the credit portfolio in 2Q04.

2,100 2,694 28.3 1,319 1,375 4.2

Financial Market Indicators

Analysis of Financial Margin

Banco Bradesco’s consolidated financial margin (before PDD) totaled R$ 3,081 million for the second quarter of 2004 (2Q04), as compared to R$ 3,330 million for the first quarter (1Q04), down by R$ 249 million. However, financial margin for the first half of 2004 (1H04) totaled R$ 6,411 million, compared to R$ 5,977 million for the same period in 2003 (1H03), up by 7.3%.

In terms of quarterly comparison, certain macroeconomic factors had a direct impact on financial margin, particularly in 2Q04, which was affected by a highly volatile market with a negative repercussion on the price of Brazil’s local and foreign debt securities, among others and spiking medium and long-term interest rates in the futures market.

At Bradesco, the impact of this volatile environment was cushioned by the Bank’s strategic policy, ie, its efforts are focused on securing new transactions and business, mitigating market risk and offsetting decreases in interest rates and spread. This policy is more clearly evidenced when we compare results reported for the prior two quarters, which show that Bradesco’s sustainable business volume growth is directly related to operations with customers.

The average volume of the credit portfolios increased by 3.7% between the first and second quarters of 2004, particularly individual consumer credit which grew some 7%, improving the portfolio mix and increasing the segment’s share (largest spread) of total operations.

Emphasis should also be given to the performance of demand deposits from 1Q04 to 2Q04, which totaled average balances of R$ 12,757 million and R$ 13,073 million, respectively, a 2.5% increase for the second quarter. Comparing the growth of closing balances at March 30 and June 30, 2004, this increase was even higher, some 7.4%.

Insurance area transactions also contributed to improving the financial margin, as a result of the good performance by insurance, private pension plan and savings bond activities. Between the first and second quarters, the average volume of technical reserve grew by 5.6%, from R$ 27,178 million in 1Q04 to R$ 28,713 million in 2Q04.

In all, Bradesco’s consolidated financial margin between the first and second quarters of 2004 was down slightly by R$ 249 million. Business volume increases and growth in spread grew interest income by R$ 130 million, offset by a decrease in non-interest income, generated by less profit on securities and treasury transactions in 2Q04, in the amount of R$ 379 million.

Accordingly, the average financial margin rate, which reflects financial margin (before PDD) compared to the average balance of total assets was down slightly, between the first and second quarters of 2004, of 8.1% to 7.5%, respectively.

The strategy adopted by Bradesco becomes clearer when comparing longer periods, for example, 1H03 to 1H04, which evidences that the good performance in operations has compensated for the loss of revenue on investments indexed to the basic interest rate (drop in CDI from 11.8% to 7.6%, respectively), following the growth in volume of business with customers, which in turn boosted financial margin between the six-month periods. We highlight below the main areas of business growth:

The average balance of the Consolidated Bradesco credit portfolio grew by some 9.2%, between the six-month periods, in particular, operations with individual consumers, the average volume of which grew from R$ 13,816 million in 1H03 to R$ 16,638 million in 1H04, an increase of 20.4%.

Similarly, the average balances of deposits for 1H04 was up by 7.9%, from R$ 56,019 million in 1H03 to R$ 60,448 million in 1H04, especially, demand and savings deposits which were up by 8.9% and 7.8%, respectively.

Income from financial intermediation on insurance, private pension plan and savings bond operations for 1H04 were 12.6% higher compared to income for the same six-month period of 2003, mainly as a result of the increase in sale of products, with technical reserves totaling an average balance of R$ 27,945 million in 1H04, a growth rate of 33.2% between these periods.

Increased volumes and spreads were responsible for an increment in interest income, of R$ 640 million in financial margin, offset the decrease in non-interest income as a result of less profit on securities and treasury transactions in 1H04, in the amount of R$ 206 million. Net financial margin grew by R$ 434 million between 1H03 and 1H04.

The sustained growth of Bradesco’s financial margin is directly related to its policy for obtaining scale gains through the increase in business, accordingly, its efforts are centered on growing the number of customers, extending the scope of its sales outlets (Branches, PABs, Correspondent Banks, among others), market segmentation and continually improving products.

Training

The Staff Training Department has created and deploys specific professional capacity building and enhancement programs providing employees with technical and behavioral skills, 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 desire to offer tools which permit employee self-development Organization-wide, prompted Bradesco to implement online training in January 2000. This system called TreiNet, offers 27 courses with 331,838 employee participations. In 2004, 2 more technical and 10 behavioral programs were made available.

In May, the Human Resources and Marketing departments of the Bradesco Insurance Group launched, in partnership, the Insurance Universe - Universeg – for brokers selling the companies’ products. Courses are offered in-class or online, via TreiNetSeg, TreiNetPrev and TreiNetCapi with specific courses for the Insurance, Private Pension Plan and Savings Bond areas.

In order to comply with related legislation, joint actions with the marketing area were required to promote internal-marketing campaigns encouraging staff to participate in courses covering money laundering prevention and internal controls via TreiNet. In addition, written material a was distributed to all staff and 4 specific training films in video widely shown.

In compliance with Resolution 3158/03, 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. During the period some 1,400 of our professionals successfully sat this exam.

From 1996, in partnership with educational institutions such as FIA, FIPE, FGV and Ibmec, 829 of the Organization’s employees obtained MBAs or other post-graduate degrees and specialization courses. In June 2004, two groups concluded their MBAs in banking business, designed for branch managers Organization-wide and developed in partnership with FGV - São Paulo and FGV - Rio de Janeiro, with 60 professionals qualified.

During the period from January to June 2004, 697 courses were given in 6,637 groups, with 215,463 employee participations and a total of 2,601,680 hours spent in training, as well as investments of R$ 21.3 million.

Operating Efficiency Ratio (%)

The variation in the operating efficiency ratio (accumulated for the 12-month period) from 56.6% (December 2003) to 60.1% (June 2004) reflects the increase in operating costs generated by the synergy process of the institutions acquired in prior periods, in particular, the integration of BCN by Bradesco on February 25, 2004.

We also stress, in 2Q04, the negative impact of extraordinary provisions recorded mainly for IBNR and labor and civil contingencies. Disregarding the extraordinary events, the operating efficiency ratio would be 58.7%.

Expenditure Appraisal Committee

In the pursuit of enhanced cost control and the adoption of strategies, policies and measures designed to restrain expenditure, in March 2004, Bradesco created the Expenditure Appraisal Committee, responsible for monitoring administrative and personnel expenses and expenditure with capitalization and analyzing their origin with the related areas, seeking to obtain a maximum cost to 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.

• Activity-Based Costing

As part of the Organization’s ongoing pursuit to optimize its results and performance, our cost management model will be supported by Activity-Based Costing (ABC) methodology which has already provided, among others, support for studies relating to the formation and negotiation of banking charges, costing information for performance and decision-making support management and for customer profitability purposes, and for the formation of a database for analyses regarding the unification and rationalization of the Bank’s different units.

The Organization is currently implementing ABM (Activity-Based Management) methodology which will rapidly lead to cost prevention practices and a pro-active approach as regards the identification of opportunities. Thus, at the same time as we improve our processes, we are also able to seamlessly integrate operating performance with strategic objectives, in the pursuit to create and/or sustain competitive advantages and value for both our customers and stockholders.

Accordingly, the future mission of the activity-based management model is to provide ongoing support for planning and controlling the Bank’s business processes and to promote the permanent improvement of operating and tactical issues and to provide a firm basis for their strategic gearing.

Performance of the credit portfolio for the second quarter of 2004 reflected, albeit timidly, the continuing expansion of economic activity, evidenced by the ongoing good export sector performance and gradual recovery of internal demand.

Specifically in the case of consumers, increased consumption is related to the recovery of employment levels and income, especially in regions outside of major urban centers, prompting a greater volume of financing of consumer durables and personal credit operations, in particular those discounted directly from payroll.

As a result, the balance of Bradesco’s consolidated credit portfolio at June 30 totaled R$ 58.4 billion, an increase of 6.4%, as compared to March 31, or 10.1%, annualized.

In the second half of 2004, economic growth is expected to gain rhythm, also considering seasonal factors, and the projected increase in consumption and private investment should have a positive effect on credit expansion and the country’s GNP.

Composition of the Credit Portfolio by Risk Levels

The classification and quality of the credit portfolio by risk level, at the end of June 2004, remained stable in comparison with the first quarter of 2004. The operations concentrated from levels AA to C, classified by BACEN as normal course operations, totaled 91.3% of the accumulated balance. 2.8% of operations were classified at risk administration level D and will remain so until this risk is reduced or guarantees with greater liquidity are obtained. Only 5.9% were considered to be abnormal course operations, subject to partial loss after the application of customary recovery procedures. The maintenance of these rates reflects the Bank’s permanent use of credit assessment and monitoring instruments.

(3)

Recorded based on the customer/transaction classification.

(4)

The additional provision is recorded based on management's experience and expected collection of the credit portfolio to determine the total allowance deemed sufficient to cover specific and general portfolio risks, as well as the provision calculated based on risk level ratings and the corresponding minimum provision requirements established by CMN Resolution 2682. The additional provision per customer was classified in the above table according to the corresponding risk levels.

The volume of the allowance for loan losses in June 2004 totaled R$ 4,213 million, corresponding to 7.2% of total credit operations. However, of this amount, only 44.5% effectively comprises overdue operations (past due and falling due), compared to 45.9% in March and the remaining portion is recorded as a precaution only, based on the customers' internal classification or to cover specific and general portfolio risks.

Movement of the Portfolio between June 2003 and June 2004

The performance of the consolidated credit portfolio over the prior twelve months up to June 2004, despite the low level of economic activity, evidences the maintenance of the quality of the assets, in particular as a result of new borrowers, corresponding to an increase of 17.1%, compared to the balance of the credit portfolio up to June 2003.

Banco Postal

Bradesco uses the post office bank, Banco Postal, created in partnership with the Brazilian Postal and Telegraph Company (Correios) to offer its banking products and services nationwide in the majority of Brazilian town and cities.

Banco Postal plays a significant role in offering Brazil’s low-income bracket families access to the financial system and in nationwide socio-economic development, increasing the circulation of resources within local towns and villages and encouraging savings.

Today, 1,570 towns and villages, with no previous bank access, can rely on the services offered by Banco Postal, bringing benefits to a population of more than 14.1 million people.

In densely populated areas, Banco Postal also contributes by enhancing the customer service provided by the traditional Bradesco Branches, since a considerable number of the Bank’s customers and other users are now able to use the post-office bank structure as an alternative service channel.

• Risk Management

Activities and Structure

At Bradesco, risk management is seen as a competitive advantage, adding value to the Bradesco name, as well as providing essential support for the planning activities of the diverse business areas. At the same time, risk management facilitates the maintenance of a stable environment and ensures that resources yield maximum benefits and that capital is allocated to the benefit of stockholders and society as a whole.

Bradesco adopts an ongoing strategy designed to enhance its risk management activities, in the pursuit to keep abreast of the best market practices adopted worldwide. These activities have become increasingly important, not only as a result of the global economy, but also on account of the complex nature of the products and services offered to the community.

An independent risk management department, addressing market, liquidity, credit and operating risks, is essential for achieving successful monitoring and risk management activities. These risks, as well as others, including money-laundering prevention, internal controls and compliance are managed by the Risk Management and Compliance Department, under the direct supervision of the Statutory Department Director, who in turn is subordinated to an Executive Director, reporting directly to the Institution’s President:

This organizational structure is designed not only to guarantee area independence but also to place greater focus on these important value-added activities, confirming the Organization’s commitment to the implementation of best corporate governance practices, using every available resource, whether human, technical or financial, to ensure that risk planning and management is carried out by this area using latest generation technology Groupwide. In particular, because Bradesco is now extending its risk analysis strategy to encompass not only its banking business but also its associated companies, including Bradesco Vida e Previdência (private pensions), Bradesco Saúde (healthcare insurance), Bradesco Seguros (insurance), BRAM (asset management) and Bradesco Capitalização (savings bonds) as regards actuarial and market risks, consolidating its 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 relating to the New Capital Accord (Basel II) published by the Basel Committee in June 2004.

Credit Risk Management

As part of its credit risk management enhancement process, Bradesco is working uninterruptedly to improve the procedures for gathering and controlling portfolio information, develop new loss calculation models, enhance and prepare rating inventories used in the various sectors in which the Bank operates, oversee credit analysis, granting and settlement processes, monitor credit concentration and to define the dividing line between operating risks and credit risks.

As part of this ongoing enhancement process, additional efforts are being made to prepare the Bank for the introduction of more advanced risk management techniques, based on the recommendations of the New Capital Accord published by the Basel Committee, among which we highlight the following:

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 consumer and corporate customers with sound payment capacity and proven creditworthiness. Care is taken to ensure that the underlying guarantees are sufficient to cover the risks assumed, considering the purpose and terms of the 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 permanently 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
F Bad 50.0 Abnormal course credit operations, classified based on expected loss as per percentage shown.
G Critical 70.0
H Uncollectible 100.0  

In the case of consumer customers, the above risk ratings 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.

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; VaR (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 VaR has a reliability level of 97.5%. The volatilities and correlations used by the models are calculated on statistical bases and are used in processes based on future prospects in accordance with economic studies. The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

We present below the VaR 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.

Operating Risk Management

Operating risks are those inherent to activities which provide support for transactions in which the Organization participates and may occur as a result of the interruption of business, system failures, errors, omission, fraud or external events impacting the results of the Institution and of its customers.

The Organization is working to adapt its processes to comply with the future regulatory requirements introduced by the Brazilian Central Bank relating to operating risk management, in line with the recent guidelines issued in the New Capital Accord by the Basel Committee in June 2004.

Operating risk is managed at Bradesco based on the dissemination of its culture, disclosure of its policies and development of own methodologies, models and tools designed to permit, among other factors, the decrease in the allocation of regulatory capital to be subscribed, in the pursuit of increased operating efficiency.

Bradesco, through its Operating Risk Management area, prepared a plan designed to achieve full compliance with the 10 principles of good operating risk management practice determined by the Basel Committee.

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 Internal Management System for streamlining this information, designed to manage, enhance and increase the knowledge used to administrate operating loss events, facilitating an in-depth assessment, based on either management or accounting controls.

The cutting-edge nature of this internal operating risk management process can be regarded as a benchmark of Bradesco’s important status within Brazil’s financial scenario, increasing its competitive edge as a result of greater operating efficiency and adding stockholder value, as well as extending its relationship of trust with customers, the market and regulatory bodies.

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 basis.

At Bradesco, 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 Management

The Organization's capital is managed to optimize the risk to 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).

Internal Controls

Credit Cards

The number of Bradesco credit cards increased to 7.0 million in the first half of 2004, an increase of 7.7% as compared to 1H03 (Visa and MasterCard banners).

The number of transactions grew by 20.5% compared to the same period in 2003, against market growth of 19.6%. Moreover, first-half billings reached the mark of R$ 5.5 billion, a growth rate of 16.4% as compared to 1H03.

Our 14.1% share of market billings (cards under the Visa and MasterCard banners) was maintained. Comparing the 7 largest credit card issuers, in the Brazilian banner card market, responsible for 80% of market billings, Bradesco achieved the best performance in comparison with the prior period (1H04 versus 1H03).

The success of its strategy is also confirmed by Bradesco's significant share of the Visa banner in Brazil. More than 90% of Bradesco credit cards are issued under the Visa banner and Bradesco increased its share of this market by 21.8% for the period, against market growth of 19.5%, achieving the best performance out of all the largest issuers.

Debit Cards

In the first half of 2004, the debit card base increased by 20.1%, compared to the same period in 2003, confirming Bradesco's leadership as largest issuer in the Visa Electron market.

In terms of billings, there was a significant 52.8% increase in comparison with 2003. These two indicators demonstrate clearly that Brazilians are changing their payment habits, substituting checks and cash for the use of cards, especially debit cards.

The number of Bradesco card transactions grew by 50.8% in 1H04 compared to 1H03, against a growth rate of 43.7% by the Visa Electron market for the same period.

Income on Credit Cards

Recurring income derived from this business grew by 34.3% in the first half of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003 and total income by 28.8%, results which evidence the strength of our strategy.

Over recent years, the Bradesco Organization has provided important incentives designed to increase Brazil's foreign trade activities.

In similar manner, we highlight the substantial amount of US$ 9.6 billion, recorded at the end of the first half in foreign exchange trading for exports. This corresponds to a 48% increase as compared to the same period in 2003.

Based on data available for January through May 2004, Bradesco's share of the exchange market for exports totaled some 20.7%, an increase in performance of some 9% compared to the 19% share obtained during the same period in 2003.

The financial volume of imports at the end of the first half of 2004 totaled US$ 3 billion, some 11% more than the total of US$ 2.7 billion obtained for the same period in 2003. Market share at the end of the period from January through May 2004 was 11.9%.

As a result of these increases, the International Area ended the first half with a balance of US$ 7.2 billion in export and import financing, foreign collateral provided and onlending to local customers.

- Development of structured solutions designed to meet the specific needs of companies, such as: less working capital requirements, increased liquidity, optimization of financial and tax costs, compliance with legal technical limits/financial covenants, sale of permanent assets and off-balance-sheet financings.

- Coordination of loan syndication processes, including the lengthening of refinanceable debts, structured by the Bank or third parties.

Auto-financing production for 2Q04 totaled R$ 1,350.1 million and R$ 2,586.1 million for 1HO4, growth rates of 9.2% and 59.4%, respectively, compared to R$ 1,236.0 million for 1Q04 and R$ 1,622.3 million for 1H03.

Designed to increase the volume of business, a number of agreements and operating partnerships were entered into by the Bank for credit granting purposes, such as those with Ford Credit, Microsoft and ABRAPAR, subsequent to approval by the Brazilian Association of Fiat Automobile Dealerships.

Consolidated Finasa reported second-quarter net income of R$ 122.1 million and first-half net income of R$ 181.8 million. Stockholders' equity at June 30, increased to R$ 345.1 million.

In addition, income in the amount of R$ 56.9 million was recorded for 2Q04, derived from the mark-to-market adjustment of swap transactions, in compliance with Central Bank Circular 3082, which totaled R$ 79.9 million for the half-year. These transactions are designed to hedge overall credit operations and were entirely successful from an economic viewpoint. However, from a formal standpoint, these transactions are not acceptable as hedges pursuant to the aforementioned legislation. As a result, the asset transactions to which they are a counter entry receive a different accounting treatment, ie, they are adjusted based on the rates established in the corresponding contracts, whereas swaps are marked to market.

Net income for the period is comprised as follows:

Social Action

The Bradesco Organization maintains its support of sports activities through the FINASA Sports Program (PROGRAMA FINASA ESPORTES), which completed 17 years of activity in 2004. Over this period, the program has become a benchmark for youth education, using the formation of womens' basketball and volleyball teams as an instrument for social inclusion and citizenship. At present, 3,889 girls from 10 to 16 years of age, participate in these sports at 78 training centers, 50 for volleyball and 28 for basketball, which are installed on the premises of state schools, at Osasco's city hall sports centers, at the Bradesco Foundation school, at the SESI units and at three private schools, all located in the municipality of Osasco, in Greater São Paulo.

As well as these training centers, the Program also maintains competitive teams in all base categories with 135 girls between 16 and 19 years of age, training to obtain a place in the main senior volleyball team, FINASA OSASCO, which is currently the Brazilian national league champion for the second time.

The Program's social aspects are also strongly focused, since the majority of these young girls live in socially deprived communities on the outskirts of Osasco. For example, the girls must attend school on a regular basis to be accepted in the Program.

At the same time, a number of educational and cultural activities are carried out, designed to develop the concept of citizenship in all participant, including students, teachers and very often parents too.

The annual schedule of the FINASA SPORTS PROGRAM also includes counseling on the prevention of drug abuse, sexuality, solidarity and violence.

Number of Policyholders - Thousand

Up to June 2004, the average number of customers grew by 9.8% compared to the same period in 2003.

In the first half of 2004, compared to the same period in 2003, 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 2.4 million customers.

The increasing number of policyholders employed by micro, small and medium companies, as well as major 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.

More than 12 thousand companies in Brazil have acquired Bradesco Health Insurance. Out of Brazil’s 100 largest companies in terms of billings, 33 are Bradesco clients in the Health and Dental Health lines and out of the country’s 50 largest companies, 34% 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.

Through May 2004, the Bradesco Insurance Group maintained its position as one of the main players in the Brazilian Basic Line Insurance market, with a significant 11.1% share of total market billings in this area.

In the Corporate Risk area, Bradesco maintained its position as one of the sector’s most important insurance companies with a considerable share of the main lines. In particular, emphasis should be given to the launching of Bradesco FLIGHT INSURANCE, specifically focusing the executive aircraft area and which after only 3 months of activity has already achieved excellent results.

In the mass market insurance segment, focusing on consumer and small and medium corporate customers, product line sales registered an important growth, in particular, Bradesco Bilhete Residencial, which achieved a record of 588,901 homes insured, an increase of 15.0% compared to the same period in 2003.

The launching of new products and the reformulation of others, in the pursuit to offer our customers best quality products on a permanent basis, made a significant contribution to the results achieved during the period.

In the Auto/RCF line, the first half of the year witnessed intense competition in a market reduced by slacking vehicle local market sales. During the period, we maintained our technically correct pricing policy, guaranteeing balanced portfolio results. Emphasis should also be given to the launching of our new pricing policy based on the policyholders’ 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 online via the Internet.

Bradesco’s market share of the Auto/RCF portfolio up to May, 2004 was 15.6%.

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

The company is consolidating its outstanding position in diverse regions and holds a leadership position in two Brazilian states, according to the latest figures for May published by SUSEP. The company’s market share in these states was as follows: 34.4% in Amazonas and 25% in São Paulo.

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

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

More than 300 thousand people benefited from activities promoted in the leisure and entertainment, education, culture, sports, healthcare, community development and citizenship action areas. Seven thousand volunteers were involved, including students, parents, support staff, teachers and professionals from partner organizations, providing more than 600 quality services to community members residing in the vicinity of the Foundation schools.

Designed to offer the general public basic IT skills and online access to public services, as well as promoting citizenship values through the development of community actions, the Bradesco Foundation entered into partnership with other high-tech companies to create a number of Digital Inclusion Centers – CIDs. This project was designed to combat digital exclusion and increase IT access by people living near the schools, at specific locations managed by volunteers from the local community. High school students will monitor the activities carried out as well as playing a leading role as IT instructors.

The Center for Educational Technology and Social Inclusion created by the Bradesco Foundation in Campinas, SP, and opened on June 3, 2004, boasts state-of-the-art hard and software technology and a wireless communications network. The Center is designed to promote the skills of students and teachers at the Bradesco Foundation and from the public school network, as well as developing research which will be used to integrate information and communication technology with the educational process and for social inclusion.

School Locations

The majority of the Foundation'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 four corners of Brazil are given the opportunity to study at the Foundation schools.

Directors’ Report

To Our Stockholders,

We are pleased to present the financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, of Banco Bradesco S.A., as well as the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Brazilian corporate legislation.

From a macroeconomic viewpoint, the first half of 2004 was marked by the recovery of economic activity within a scenario of uncertainty prompted by the start of a new international squeeze on liquidity. The good trade balance performance softened the impact of global dynamics on the Brazilian economy. Conditions are still being created for improving the perception of Brazil’s sovereign risk by overseas investors and, accordingly, for the continuing downturn in basic interest rates, as soon as inflationary pressure dissipates.

Credit area activity has also maintained a good performance, albeit slightly below the results projected at the end of last year. All told, the quality of bank credit in Brazil is gradually improving on a steady basis.

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

1 – Results for the Period

Bradesco reported first-half net income of R$ 1.250 billion, corresponding to R$ 7.90 per share and a return of 19.15% on closing stockholders’ equity and 19.42% on average stockholders’ equity, annualized.

Taxes and contributions, including social security contributions, paid or accrued, on the main activities carried out by the Bradesco Organization for the period, amounted to R$ 1.508 billion, or 120.64% of net income.

Monthly and interim interest attributed to own capital distributed to stockholders totaled R$ 281.345 million. This represents R$ 1.863576 (R$1.584040, net of withholding tax), including the additional 10%, for preferred shares and R$ 1.694160 (R$ 1.440036, net of withholding tax) for common shares.

2 - Capital and Reserves

At the end of the first half, paid-up capital totaled R$ 7 billion, comprising 158,171,124 nominative-registered shares, with no par value, of which 79,477,192 are common and 78,693,932 are preferred shares. Paid-up capital plus reserves of R$ 6.650 billion comprised the total stockholders’equity of R$ 13.650 billion, a growth rate of 9.01% compared to the same period in 2003 and corresponding to net equity per share of R$ 86.30.

Managed stockholders’ equity of R$ 176.254 billion, corresponds to 7.78% of consolidated assets, a 14.09% increase as compared to June 2003. As a result, the capital adequacy ratios were 18.07% on a consolidated financial basis and 15.74% on a consolidated economic and financial basis and accordingly, above the 11% required minimum established by National Monetary Council Resolution 2099 of August 17, 1994, in conformity with the Basel Accord. At the end of the six-month period, the ratio of permanent assets to stockholders’ equity, in relation to consolidated reference equity was 41.42% on a consolidated financial basis and 26.09% on a consolidated economic and financial basis, accordingly, within the maximum 50% limit.

In compliance with the provisions of Article 8 of Brazilian Central Bank Circular 3068, of November 8, 2001, Bradesco declares that it has both the financial capacity and the intention to hold to maturity the securities classified in the ‘securities held to maturity’ category.

3 – Funding and Portfolio Administration

With a growth rate of 18% compared to the same period in 2003, overall funding obtained by the Bradesco Organization amounted to R$ 245.637 billion, at June 30, 2004 and comprised the following :

4 – Credit Operations

At the end of the first half, the balance of consolidated credit operations totaled R$ 58.402 billion, a 10.09% increase over the balance for the same period in 2003 and includes the following:

In the housing loan area, the Organization provided funds during the first six months of the year for the construction and purchase of residential housing in the amount of R$ 227.080 million, comprising 3,218 properties.

5 – Capital Market Transactions

As part of its role in supporting the capitalization of companies, Bradesco was an important intermediary in the public placement of shares, debentures and promissory notes, with a total volume of R$ 2.510 billion recorded for the period, corresponding to 50.99% of all issues registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM). The Bank was also an important advisor for corporate and financial restructuring processes, in mergers, acquisitions and project finance operations.

6 - Corporate Governance

The modern corporate governance practices adopted by the Bradesco Organization have contributed to improving the performance of all of its activity segments. A number of initiatives have been implemented to date, such as: tag-along rights, codes of corporate and business sector ethics in the accounting and financial management areas, disclosure policy for significant acts or facts and securities trading, as well specific committees for disclosure, audit, compliance and internal controls and remuneration.

Bradesco shares are listed in BOVESPA’s Level 1 Corporate Governance index since June 2001. Moreover, since Bradesco’s shares are traded in foreign stock exchanges, the Bank also prepares its financial statements in internationally accepted US-GAAP.

We stress that during the half-year, no non-audit services were contracted by the Bradesco Organization or rendered by KPMG Auditores Independentes for an amount which exceeds 5% of the total external audit costs. This policy complies with internationally accepted principles designed to maintain the independence of external auditors which determine that these auditors should not audit their own work, nor exercise management functions for their clients, nor promote the interests of such clients. As recommended by the Brazilian Central Bank, each external audit is contracted for a maximum five-year period.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting of March 10, 2004, approval was given to maintain the Fiscal Council, comprising 3 full members and 3 alternates with term of office through 2005, with one full member and his/her alternate elected from among the non-voting stockholders.

6.1 – Internal Controls and Compliance

The internal controls and compliance system is subordinated to guidance and supervision by the Board of Directors and is an important instrument in the management of business activities, designed principally to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards, guidelines, plans, procedures and internal rules and to minimize risk of equity losses and damage to the Organization’s institutional image. The Board is also responsible for analyzing and approving the compliance reports prepared by the compliance and internal controls committee.

6.2 - Information Transparency and Dissemination Policies

During the first half year, as part of its investor relations strategy, Bradesco organized 43 internal and external meetings with analysts, 4 conference calls and 6 presentations abroad. In addition, Bradesco publishes yearly and half yearly financial statements, as well as a quarterly Report on Economic and Financial Analysis.

In the Investor Relations area of its website at www.bradesco.com.br/ir, the Bank provides information on, for example, profile, background, share structure, directors’ reports, earnings reports, latest acquisitions, meetings with market analyst associations (Apimec and Abamec), as well as other financial market information, in Portuguese, English and Spanish.

The Bank distributes a monthly customer news bulletin called “Cliente Sempre em Dia” with a circulation of 1 million copies, as well as a quarterly magazine called Revista Bradesco, also focusing its external public, with a circulation of 70 thousand copies.

7 – Risk Management

The management of risks involves an integrated series of controls and processes, covering credit, market and liquidity, as well as operating risks. Risk management is fully independent and directly subordinated to an Executive Officer and the Bank’s President. As a matter of principle, the Organization adopts a conservative policy in terms of exposure to risk, whereby policies and limits are defined by Senior Management, including risks directly affecting its minimum capital requirement.

7.1 – Credit Risk

At Bradesco, the management of credit risk is based on existing best market practice and complies with the rules proposed in the New Basel Accord, which require a high level of discipline and control in the analysis of the transactions carried out, safeguarding process integrity and independence. Risk management involves a permanent and continuously developing process designed to map, check and diagnose the models, instruments, policies and procedures in place, based on studies and analyses compatible with the Organization’s reality. These procedures are designed to provide a greater understanding of portfolio credit risks, identifying concentrations and opportunities for diversification and ensuring that capital is efficiently allocated.

7.2 – Market and Liquidity Risk

The Organization’s market risk management policy is conservative and VaR (Value at Risk) limits are defined by Senior Management and monitored independently every day. On a complementary basis, the liquidity risk management policy is designed to ensure that the Organization is able to settle transactions, timely and securely, through a series of controls, the establishment of technical limits and the ongoing assessment of the positions assumed and financial instruments used. Both market and liquidity risks are monitored, checked and managed using models aligned with best local and international market practices and with the recommendations and standards established by the regulatory agencies.

7.3 – Operating Risk

The operating risk management process, based on the recommendations established in the New Basel Accord and instructions from regulatory agencies, is designed to implement the methodology and models which best meet the Bank’s business characteristics and, at the same time, decrease the amount of regulatory capital to be allocated. The structure established to meet this objective includes dissemination of the Bank’s culture, disclosure of policies, development of own systems, the construction of databases and quantitative and qualitative performance indicators, to ensure that the Organization is able to identify its level of exposure to operating risks and implement measures to decrease loss. The combination of these processes will enhance competitive advantage, increasing the Institution’s operating efficiency.

7.4 – Information Security

The Corporate Information Security Policy and Guidelines are designed to protect the Bank’s information assets, including its databases, IT environments, documents, files, system backups and system access controls, especially when generating and transmitting data, among other security management tools. Restricted data and information which are of exclusive interest to customers, as well as strategic Organization information, are treated internally with strict secrecy and fully protected by internal controls and IT systems. To ensure procedure compliance, the Bank maintains ongoing staff training, awareness and policy review programs.

7.5 – Credit Policy

As well as seeking security, quality and liquidity in the investment of assets, minimizing risks inherent to this type of operation, the Organization’s credit policy is also designed to offer agile and profitable business and to guide the setting of operating limits and granting of credit.

The Branches operate within varying limits, based on their size and the type of guarantees, while the specialized credit scoring systems facilitate and support the approvals process, in line with specific security 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.

Operations are diversified, non-selective and intended for individuals and businesses with sound payment capacity and integrity and are secured by underlying guarantees which are deemed sufficient to cover the risks assumed.

7.6 – Money Laundering Prevention

The internal structure of the Bradesco Organization maintains a specific area responsible for managing and monitoring its customers’ transactions and financial activity, designed to avoid any involvement by the Institution in money laundering. The basic premise used to provide related guidance to the Operating Areas and Branch Network is rooted in the Bank’s “Know Your Customer” policy, whereby customer transactions, including the source and destination of funds, are monitored by computerized systems which, together with specific analyses, ensure that possible money laundering activities are prevented or suppressed. The Organization has developed and put into place employee training and awareness programs, designed to maintain compliance with this policy, as well as permanently enhancing its technology tools for control and monitoring.

8 – The Bradesco Insurance Group

The Bradesco Insurance Group, with an important role in the insurance, private pension plan and savings bond areas, reported net income of R$ 374.714 million and stockholders’ equity of R$ 3.860 billion at June 30, 2004. The overall premium income attained R$ 6.267 billion, a growth rate of 8.13% in comparison with the same period in 2003.

9 – The Bradesco Customer Service Network

At the end of the first six-month period, the Bradesco Organization Network offered its customers and other users access to 12,251 service outlets, with 21,389 ATMs in the BDN – Bradesco Day and Night Self-service Network, 17,606 of which also operate at weekends and on bank holidays and more than 211 ATMs in the Banco BEM S.A. customer service network:

10 – The Bradesco Organization’s Social Action Program

In the social area, the Organization plays an important role through its educational and welfare programs developed by Fundação Bradesco (the Bradesco Foundation), which maintains 40 schools installed as a priority in regions which are both socially and economically deprived, across all of Brazil’s states and in the Federal District. More than 107 thousand students receive education, completely free-of-charge, at the Foundation schools, including youth and adult education and basic professional training courses. 50,820 of its infant, junior, middle and technical school students, also receive free meals, uniforms, school materials and medical/dental care.

11 – Human Resources

The professional enhancement of our employees continued through the staff training program, which is designed to ensure that Bradesco customers are offered top-quality service. During the first six months of the year, 697 courses were given with 215,463 employee participations. Special attention is given to the Bradesco benefit plans focused on providing a better life quality, well being and security to our employees and their dependents and which covered 183,654 people at June 30, 2004.

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 transaction, 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 bond 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 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 Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Agency for Supplementary Health (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, upon consolidation, intercompany investments, account balances, revenue, expenses and unrealized income were eliminated from the financial statements and, in the case of investments which are jointly controlled with other stockholders, asset, liability and income components are 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. Exchange variation arising from permanent investments in subsidiaries and foreign branches was allocated to the statement of income accounts in accordance with 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.

The following main companies are included in the consolidation in June 30:

3) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Determination of net income

Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. 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. Post-fixed or foreign-currency-indexed transactions are adjusted to the balance sheet date. 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.

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 bond 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 bond plan contributions are effectively received.

The private 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, where applicable.

c) Securities

Securities are classified and recorded as presented below:

-

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.


-

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 co-related 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.


-

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 in compliance with: (i) the parameters established by CMN Resolution 2.682 at nine levels from “AA” (minimum risk) to “H” (maximum risk); and (ii) management’s risk level assessment. This assessment, which is carried out on a periodic basis, considers current economic conditions, and past loan loss experience, as well as specific and general risks relating to operations, borrowers and guarantors. The length of the delay in payment defined in CMN Resolution 2.682 is also taken into account for customer risk classification purposes, as follows:


  Length of delay Customer classification
No delay AA
Up to 14 days A
From 15 to 30 days B
From 31 to 60 days C
From 61 to 90 days D
From 91 to 120 days E
From 121 to 150 days F
From 151 to 180 days G
More than 180 days H

The accrual of 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 classification. 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, or are about to acquire, 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 bond activities

Provision for unearned premiums

These are recorded at the amount of that portion of the insurance premiums issued retained, corresponding to the unexpired risk periods of the insurance contracts, in accordance with the criteria determined by SUSEP and ANS standards.

Benefits to be granted and benefits granted

Mathematical provisions comprise the amount 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 provisions comprise the present value of future benefits estimated based on actuarial methods and assumptions. The provision for benefits to be granted comprises participants whose receipt of benefits has not yet commenced and the provision for benefits granted comprises participants who are currently receiving benefits.

Savings Bonds - mathematical provisions for redemptions and draws

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

Unsettled claims and IBNR

The provision for payment of unsettled claims is recorded based on estimated probable payments, 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 subsidiaries, 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 year.

The exchange membership certificates of Stock Exchanges, the Center for the Financial Clearance and Custody of Private Securities (CETIP) and the Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) were recorded at the net book value, unaudited, informed by the corresponding exchanges and fiscal incentives and other investments were recorded at cost, net of the provision for loss, where 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%; furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment - 10%; data processing systems - 20% to 50%; and transport systems - 20%.

j) Deferred charges

Deferred charges are recorded at cost of acquisition or formation, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization of 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 deposits received under security repurchase agreements

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, where applicable, related income and monetary and exchange variations (on a daily pro rata basis), less a 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).

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 and complexity, available jurisprudence and court sentences, whenever loss is deemed probable.

The Organization’s Management considers that the provision recorded for contingencies is sufficient to cover probable 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 recorded based on the average amount of the indemnities paid.

Civil Suits

These arise during the normal course of 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 30% of new suits were brought at the small claims court, i.e., for amounts less than the maximum limit of 40 minimum wages.

Moreover, some 60% 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 10,303.

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 the minimum compulsory dividend, net of withholding tax (IRRF).

Interest attributed to own capital - January 1 to June 30, 2004

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 calculation models, enhance and prepare rating inventories used in the various sectors in which the Bank operates, oversee credit analysis, granting and settlement processes, monitor credit concentration and to define the dividing line between operating risks and credit risks.

As part of this ongoing enhancement process, additional efforts are being made to prepare the Bank for the introduction of more advanced risk management techniques, based on the recommendations of the New Capital Accord published by the Basel Committee, among which we highlight 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, 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 VaR (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 VaR has a reliability level of 97.5%. The fluctuations and correlations used by the models are calculated on statistical bases and future prospects are calculated based on economic studies. The methodology applied and current statistical models are validated daily using backtesting techniques.

We present below the VaR of the Consolidated Own Portfolio positions (Treasury):

  At June 30 – In thousands of reais
 
Risk Factors 2004 2003
 

Prefixed 7,267 6,541
Exchange coupon 51,719 14,717
Foreign currency 285 439
Floating rate - 10
Correlated effect (1,902) (3,243)
 

VaR (Value at Risk) 57,369 18,464

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, 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).

c) Derivatives

Bradesco carries out transactions involving derivative financial instruments, which are recorded in balance sheet or memorandum accounts, for its own account 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 - FIFE.

The plan is managed by Bradesco Vida e Previdência S.A. and BRAM – Bradesco Asset Management Ltda. is responsible for the financial administration of the FIFE 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 FIFE 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 Baneb S.A. (into which Banco BEA S.A. was merged – Note 2) 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 participants ceased to contribute as from the same date. The plan’s actuarial liabilities are fully covered by the plan’s net assets.

Banco Baneb S.A. and its subsidiaries are sponsors of 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 half year totaled R$ 100,595 thousand (June 30, 2003 -R$ 132,347 thousand), BRADESCO – R$ 86,047 thousand (June 30, 2003 - R$103,786 thousand).
