7001 - MANAGEMENT REPORT (NOT REVIEWED)


Operating Highlights


Retail Bank

-    Unibanco  acquired 665,000 new bank accounts through the ContAtiva  Program
     in the nine-month  period ended September 30, 2002. In the third quarter of
     2002, 209,000 new bank accounts were opened,  keeping the pace of more than
     200,000  accounts per quarter.  The  continuing  growth  indicates that the
     initial goal of opening 1.8 million new bank accounts,  originally foreseen
     to be performed in October 2003, should be reached ahead of schedule in the
     first quarter of 2003.  This program  seeks to gain,  for the network under
     the Unibanco brand,  customers whose monthly income is higher than R$1,000.
     This  achievement,  coupled with  customers,  savings  account  holders and
     retirees at the end of the quarter totals 5.6 million  customers  under the
     Unibanco  brand.  When added to our consumer  finance  clients  (Fininvest,
     Investcred, LuizaCred), Unibanco services 12.9 million customers.

-    Unibanco  reached the end of September  2002 with 1,429 points of sale,  as
     follows: 799 branches,  444 corporate-site  branches,  78 in-store branches
     and 108 Fininvest stores.

-    The retail loan  portfolio,  at R$11 billion in September 2002, was up 3.2%
     compared to last quarter.

-    Retail bank's deposits and funds grew from a R$15.9 billion balance in June
     2002 to R$17.8 billion in September 2002.

Wholesale Bank

-    The Wholesale Bank reached,  at the end of September  2002,  total lending,
     leasing and other credits of R$17.5  billion up 10.2% when compared to June
     2002.  The  portfolio  growth in the quarter was mostly due to the exchange
     rate  devaluation  of 36.9%  in the  period.  Excluding  this  impact,  the
     portfolio would have decreased by 0.4%

-    Wholesale  bank's funding  (deposits and funds  accounts)  increased from a
     balance of R$25.6 billion in June 2002 to R$26.1 billion in September 2002.

-    In an  environment  characterized  by scarce trade finance lines to Brazil,
     Unibanco  signed,  in October  2002,  an agreement  with the  International
     Finance  Corporation  ("IFC"),  for a 360-day term Trade  Finance  Facility
     amounting to US$175 million.  At maturity,  approximately US$50 million may
     be renewed for more 360-day,  at Unibanco's  discretion.  The other US$ 125
     million  was  syndicated  to a pool of 18 banks  and  represents  the first
     tranche  of a US$ 250  million  pre-approved  credit  limit  under  the IFC
     Facility.

-    As a financial agent in the BNDES (Brazilian  Development  Bank) Onlendings
     segment,  Unibanco disbursed R$761.6 million in the nine-month period ended
     September 30, 2002 with a 8.1% market share and ranking first among private
     sector banks in disbursements.  In the overall ranking,  Unibanco is placed
     2nd after Banco do Brasil. In BNDES-exim  Unibanco disbursed R$150 million,
     with a 7.4% market share in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

-    In Debt Capital Markets, Unibanco maintained its # 1 rank, both in terms of
     origination and distribution of securities, with a 21% market share in both
     categories.  During the first  nine-month  period ended September 30, 2002,
     Unibanco  coordinated  twelve  deals  amounting  to R$4.3  billion of which
     Unibanco underwrote R$1.7 billion.

-    In the Syndicated Loans segment,  in the nine-month  period ended September
     30, 2002, Unibanco took part as Arranger in 11 deals totaling R$3.2 billion
     and as Co-Arranger in nine transactions, totaling R$1.9 billion.

-    In Cash Management,  more than 77 thousand corporate clients use Unibanco's
     cash management  services,  such as payments and credit.  In the nine-month
     period  ended  September  30,  2002,  the  financial  margin  of  the  cash
     management  services  rose by 20.3%  relative  to the same  period in 2001,
     reaching the level of R$237 million.


Insurance and Private Pension Plans

-    According  to August 2002 figures  made  available  by SUSEP,  Unibanco AIG
     Seguros e Previdência ranked 1st in the fire insurance segment,  with R$230
     million in premiums and growth of 21.7%  relative to the previous  quarter.
     The company also maintained its leadership of the following  segments:  D&O
     (Directors   &  Officers  -  executive   liability),   extended   warranty,
     residential,  international transportation,  aeronautical and petrochemical
     risks.

-    Unibanco AIG Previdência  headed the period's ranking in terms of corporate
     sales,  with a  volume  of R$230  million,  14.3%  ahead of the  runner-up,
     according to the official  statistics released by ANAPP in August 2002. The
     company  services   approximately  513,000  individual  customers  and  871
     corporate clients.

Wealth Management

-    The  Wealth  Management  segment  comprises   Unibanco's  asset  management
     business and private  banking,  thus benefiting from the natural  synergies
     between the two areas.

-    Private pension funds under UAM's  management  reached the end of September
     2002 with assets totaling R$4.2 billion.  The company is the second largest
     manager in this segment, with a 10.9% share, according to Anbid.

-    Investment  funds  managed by UAM stood out in the  rankings  published  by
     Exame  magazine  and  Gazeta  Mercantil   newspaper.   Exame's  "Best  2002
     Investment  Funds  Guide"  classified  seven  UAM  funds as  being  5-stars
     investments.  According to Exame,  UAM was chosen the best manager in three
     out of six asset  categories:  fixed income,  equities and leveraged funds.
     UAM was also elected the 2nd best  manager of funds in the Retail  segment.
     In the Gazeta  Mercantil the second  quarter of 2002  ranking,  released on
     July 26,  two UAM funds  were  awarded  the top  place in their  respective
     categories.

-    Private Banking reached R$9.5 billion in funds under  management by the end
     of September 2002, up 24.8% vs. the previous quarter.


Technology and the Internet

-    The user base of Unibanco's  Internet Banking continued to grow. It reached
     869,000  users,  41% above December  2001's  615,000  users.  The number of
     transactions  reached the figure of 51.7 million in the  nine-month  period
     ended  September 30, 2002,  representing a 63% growth  compared to the same
     period last year.  The  financial  volume in the  nine-month  period  ended
     September  30, 2002 stood at R$4.0  billion,  37% greater  than that of the
     same period last year.

-    The new  version of  Internet  Banking for  corporates,  introduced  in the
     period,  has already more than 50,000  customers that previously  relied on
     the 30-Hour  micro  service.  This  replacement  by a web-based  technology
     provides   greater   flexibility   and  mobility  to  the  user  community,
     facilitating  the updating of versions and the addition of new offers.  The
     consolidation  of this channel is essential for the bank's growth strategy,
     strengthening the portfolio of products specifically designed for corporate
     clients.

-    The 30-Hour  Telephone  service was  considered the best call center in the
     financial  market,  according to IBOPE research.  In this survey,  Unibanco
     achieved a grade of 6.5 out of 7 in Customer Servicing. Of the total number
     of calls received by the 30-Hour Phone Service, a record 86% were processed
     solely by the electronic servicing system.


Community-oriented Activities

-    In September, the 2002 Social Welfare Action (SuperAção Social) program was
     launched, this time involving all Unibanco's employees.  This program is an
     employee  initiative  geared at  encouraging  volunteer work through social
     welfare  activities.  Last year, more than 3,200 employees  participated in
     the initiative, helping more than 80 social welfare organizations.

-    The  Junior  Achievement  program  consists  of one of the  most  important
     educational  projects for  youngsters  focusing on the business  world.  In
     September 2002, new groups were started in five public  schools,  involving
     870 elementary school students and 83 Unibanco volunteers.

-    The  traditional  Clothing  Campaign  received a record number of donations
     this year. More than 11,000 kg of clothing were collected,  almost twice as
     much as in 2001. Similarly to previous years, for each kg obtained Unibanco
     donated a blanket.

-    In August  2002,  Unibanco  contributed  to the  construction  of the Basic
     Healthcare  Unit of the  Family  Health  Association  (Associacao  Saude da
     Familia),  in the district of Sapopemba in São Paulo.  It will service some
     30,000 needy people per month.

-    In the third quarter of 2002,  Unibanco Ecology (Unibanco Ecologia) donated
     another eight environmental  centers: in the cities of Santos, Santo André,
     Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Goiânia, Salvador, Vitória and Recife.


Unibanco Pessoas (Human Resources)

-    Unibanco carries out several  professional  development  initiatives geared
     towards  both  training/technical   education  and  behavior,  totaling  an
     investment  of  roughly  R$6.2  million  in  the  nine-month  period  ended
     September 30, 2002. Thus, it invests in activities that range from specific
     training programs (either  multimedia or in loco) to MBA programs in Brazil
     or abroad.

-    As a result of its strategy of  developing  closer ties with  universities,
     such as the  University of São Paulo  Polytechnic  School  (Poli-USP),  the
     Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), the University of Campinas (Unicamp),  the
     Catholic University (PUC) and IBMEC, among others, Unibanco has carried out
     several  activities that attracted  roughly 32,000 people interested in the
     2003 Trainee Program.

Unibanco is committed to hiring disabled  people.  One of the activities in this
area  is  the  Program  for  Professional   Qualification  of  Disabled  People,
coordinated  by Febraban and sponsored by another five  financial  institutions.
The first stage of this program has qualified 160 people.

3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted by Unibanco and its subsidiary  companies are in
accordance with the requirements of Brazilian  Corporate Law and the regulations
of the Brazilian  Central  Bank,  the Brazilian  Securities  Commission  and the
Superintendency of Private Insurances.

(a)  Determination of net income

Net income is determined on the accrual basis and considers:

-    income,  expenses and  monetary or exchange  rate  variations,  at official
     rates or indices,  pro rata temporis,  on current and long-term  assets and
     liabilities;

-    the effects of the  provisions to adjust the assets to market or realizable
     values;

-    the  adjustments to the  insurance,  capitalization  and  retirement  plans
     technical reserves;

-    the effects of the  adjustment of  investments in subsidiary and associated
     companies to reflect the equity method of accounting;

-    the provision for federal income tax at the rate of 15% on taxable  income,
     plus a specific  surcharge of 10% on taxable income over established fiscal
     limits;

-    the provision for social  contribution  calculated at the rate of 9% on the
     adjusted income before income tax;

-    tax credits calculated on temporary  differences between book value and tax
     amounts and on tax losses; and

-    profit sharing.


(b) Current and long-term assets

These assets are stated at cost plus,  when  applicable,  the related income and
monetary and exchange rate  variations,  and  decreased by the related  unearned
income and/or allowances for losses, except for the marketable  securities,  the
derivative  financial  instruments and financial assets subject to hedge,  which
are presented as from the quarter ended June 30, 2002, as stated in Note 3 (c).

The  allowance  for  lending,  leasing and other  credit  losses is set up in an
amount  considered  sufficient by management to cover  possible  future  losses.
Management's analysis to establish the provision required takes into account the
economic environment,  past experience and specific and general portfolio risks,
as well as the regulations of the Brazilian Central Bank.

(c) Marketable securities and derivative financial instruments

The  Brazilian  Central Bank has  established  new rules for the  recording  and
valuation of marketable securities and derivative financial  instruments,  which
effects are recognized as from quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Marketable securities

According to Brazilian Central Bank Circular 3068 issued on November 8, 2001 and
the supplemental regulation,  marketable securities must be classify into one of
three categories, based on the intent to negotiate (during the implementation of
the new rule, the bank has adopted transitional criteria),  and accounted for as
follow:


-    Trading securities - marketable  securities  acquired for trading purpose -
     they are stated at cost plus,  accrued  interest and adjusted to their fair
     values  and  unrealized  gains  and  losses  are  recognized  currently  in
     earnings.

-    Securities  available for sale - marketable  securities acquired as part of
     the Unibanco strategy for the risk management of interest rates, they could
     be negotiated as a result of the changes in the interest rates, for changes
     in  payments  conditions  or other  factors.  They are  stated at cost plus
     accrued interest, and adjusted to their fair value, with the related income
     recognized currently and unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate
     component of stockholders'  equity, net of applicable taxes, in "Unrealized
     gains  and  losses  -  marketable   securities  and  derivative   financial
     instruments".  The realized  gains and losses are  recognized  based on the
     applicable trade date in a contra account in stockholders' equity item.

-    Securities held to maturity - marketable securities that there is intention
     and financial  ability to retain them until the maturity.  They are carried
     at cost plus accrued interest.

Derivative financial instruments (assets and liabilities)

According to Brazilian Central Bank Circular 3082 issued on January 30, 2002 and
the supplemental regulation, the derivative financial instruments are classified
based on Unibanco's intent for hedging or non-hedging purpose.

-    Transactions  involving derivative  financial  instruments to meet customer
     needs or for own  purpose  that did not meet  hedging  accounting  criteria
     established  by the Central Bank,  primary  derivatives  used to manage the
     global exposure,  are accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and
     losses recognized currently in earnings.

-    Derivative  financial   instruments  designed  for  hedging  or  to  modify
     characteristics  of assets or liabilities  and (i) highly  correlated  with
     respect to changes in fair value in  relation to the fair value of the item
     being hedged, both at inception date and over the life of the contract; and
     (ii)  effective at reducing  the risk  associated  with the exposure  being
     hedged, are classified as hedges as follows:

          -    Fair value hedge.  The financial  assets and  liabilities and the
               related  derivative  financial  instruments  are accounted for at
               fair value and offsetting gains or losses recognized currently in
               earnings; and

          -    Cash flow hedge.  The effective hedge portion of financial assets
               and  liabilities  is accounted  for at fair value and  unrealized
               gains  and   losses   recorded   as  a  separate   component   of
               stockholders'  equity,  net of applicable  taxes,  in "Unrealized
               gains and losses - marketable securities and derivative financial
               instruments".  The  non-effective  hedge  portion  is  recognized
               currently in earnings.

(d) Permanent assets

Investments, fixed assets and deferred charges are stated at cost.

Investments in subsidiary  and associated  companies are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting, as shown in Note 8. The effects in subsidiaries and
associated  companies  resulted  from the new rules to recorded and valuation of
marketable securities and derivative financial instruments, as mentioned in Note
3 (c) were  recognized in Unibanco as "Unrealized  gains and losses - marketable
securities and derivative financial  instruments and "Retained earnings",  so as
to  maintain  the  original  record  made  by the  subsidiaries  and  associated
companies.  Other investments consist principally of investments carried at cost
and membership  certificates of stock and commodities  exchange adjusted to book
equity values.

Goodwill relating to the acquisition of subsidiaries is being amortized up to 10
years, according to the expected period of benefit. Depreciation of fixed assets
is  calculated  on the  straight-line  method  at the  following  annual  rates:
buildings in use - 4%; equipment in use - 10%; communications,  data processing,
and transportation systems - 20%.

Deferred charges,  composed substantially of leasehold improvements and software
acquisition and development, are amortized over the term of the respective lease
contracts or up to five years.

(e) Current and long-term liabilities

These  amounts  include,  when  applicable,  accrued  interest  and monetary and
exchange  rate  variations,  except for  derivative  financial  instruments  and
liabilities subject to hedge, which are presented as per Note 3 (c).

     private  retirement   companies,   and  their  portfolios  are  represented

maturity, for Unibanco Consolidated compared with the portfolios is as follow:

18.  Financial Instruments

(a) Risk management

Unibanco  continuously strives to improve its risk management  practices,  which
was integrate into the various  levels of  organization.  A separate  department
that is  headed by chief  financial  officer  is  responsible  for  identifying,
measuring and managing market,  credit and operational risk  institutional-wide.
In addition,  each business  division have dedicated  management staff. The risk
committee  composed  of  senior  management  evaluates  the  risks  involved  in
activities and proposes risk management policies accordingly.

Market Risk

The policy  regarding to market risk exposure is  conservative.  The market risk
exposure of portfolio is independently supervised and controlled.  All financial
and principal non-financial  subsidiaries are evaluated on a daily basis. Market
risk  management  is based  on  limits  established  by the  financial  and risk
committees.  The  market  risk  exposure  is limited by  managing  of  currency,
maturity  and  interest  rate  mismatches.  Securities,  derivatives,  loans and
funding are analyzed on a consolidated  basis.  Derivatives play is an important
role in managing asset and liability  mismatches.  Exposure  limits for treasury
unit  are  established   considering  market  volatility,   scenario  forecasts,
opportunity  for profit and the funding  needs of commercial  bank.  Trading and
positioning  activities are conducted  within clear limits suggested by the risk
committee and ratified by the financial committee. These limits and policies are
reviewed  monthly  or when a new  threat or  opportunity  arises.  By trading in
derivatives, the bank is able to achieve a lower credit risk exposure than would
be achieved  with a position in the  corresponding  cash  instruments.  The most
common derivatives traded are future and term commitments and swap contracts.

The value at risk  methodology  is used to  evaluate  the market  risk.  Also is
applied  stress  tests  using  macroeconomic  scenarios  simulated  by our  risk
management and macroeconomic  team, in order to minimize the risk of loss in the
portfolio  and to analyze  the  effects of  changes in the  financial  market of
portfolio.

Unibanco  manages its risk exposure on a  centralized  basis by having all risks
and mismatches passed to its treasury unit. All treasury  activities,  including
those for foreign  branches,  are closely monitored from the offices in São
Paulo. Trading limits and strategies are defined by head office, and all trading
positions are consolidated in centralized databases.

(b) Financial  instruments recorded in the financial statements compared to fair
values at September 30, 2002 are as follows:
The fair value of  marketable  securities  was based on the average rate for the
last  business  day of  the  quarter  as  informed  by  Stock  Exchanges,  trade
associations and external entities.

The fair value of interbank  deposits,  lending  operations,  interbank deposits
payable,  time  deposits  and  mortgage  notes,  was based on the  average  rate
practiced  by  Unibanco on the last  business  day of the  quarter,  for similar
operations.

The fair value of resources from securities  issued abroad and subordinated debt
was based on the average quoted prices in effect on the correspondent markets on
the last business day of the quarter, for similar operations.

The fair value of derivatives  was based,  principally,  on the average rate for
the last business day of the quarter for operations with similar  maturities and
indices,  as  informed  by  Futures  and  Commodities  Exchange - BM&F and trade
associations.

The fair  value of other  liabilities  related  to sale of rights of  receipt of
future flow of payment  orders  abroad was computed  considering  the value that
could be obtained in the corresponding market.

The fair value of treasury stocks was based on Units price at September 30, 2002
in the São Paulo Stock Exchange.

(c) The current  notional values and fair value of off-balance  sheet derivative
financial instruments at September 30 are as follows:

--------------------
(1)  On  September  30,  2002,   Unibanco  had  future  and  term  contracts  of
     R$2,392,276  accounted for at fair value and being  recognized as cash flow
     hedges related to their time deposits  indexed to interbank  interest rate,
     and with an unrealized gain, net of applicable taxes of R$6,288 recorded in
     "Unrealized  gains  and  losses  -  marketable  securities  and  derivative
     financial instruments", as a separate component of stockholder's equity.

The  operations  above do not  represent  Unibanco's  total  exposure to market,
currency  and  interest  rate  risks  since  they only  consider  the  values of
off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments.

Unibanco had swap contracts with its subsidiaries, and the amounts at fair value
were the same of the current notional value.

The amounts of  receivables  under the swap  contracts are R$461,138 in Unibanco
and R$568,852 in Unibanco Consolidated and the amounts of payables are R$957,439
in  Unibanco  and  R$574,607  in  Unibanco  Consolidated  and  are  recorded  in
"Marketable   securities  and  derivative  financial  instruments"  recorded  in
"Derivative  financial  instruments"  in  current  and  long-term  assets and as

respectively.


(d) Notional at fair value distributed by trade location
The amount linked to guarantees  rendered on BM&F  transactions were R$1,220,421
in Unibanco and  R$1,240,551  in Unibanco  Consolidated  and are  represented by
federal government securities.

(e) The maturities of derivative  financial  instruments recorded in off-balance
sheet memorandum accounts are as follows:
Interest  rate  and  currency  term  and  futures  contracts   represent  future
commitments to purchase or sell  financial  instruments at specific terms and at
specified  dates.  The  notional  amounts   represent  the  face  value  of  the
corresponding instrument at the date of the operations' liquidation.  The credit
risks  associated  with the future and term contracts are minimized due to daily
cash  settlements  and margin  account  deposits.  Future and term contracts are
subject  to the  risk  of  movements  in  interest  rates  or the  value  of the
underlying instruments.

Swap contracts  represent future  commitments to exchange  currencies or indices
for a contractual  period and terms. The notional amount represents the basis on
which the cash flows are determined.  The risks  associated with swaps relate to
the potential  inability or unwillingness of the counterparts to the contractual
conditions  and the risk  associated  with changes in market  conditions  due to
movements in interest rates and the exchange rate of currencies.

Options are contracts which: (i) transfer, modify, or reduce interest rate risk,
or (ii) allow the Bank to purchase or sell financial instruments in exchange for
the payment or receipt of a premium at inception of the contract. As a purchaser
of options,  Unibanco  pays a premium  and,  as a writer of options,  receives a
premium in exchange for bearing the risk of movements in future  interest  rates
on market prices for the underlying financial instruments. The credit and market
risks are limited to the extent of premiums  paid on  purchased  options and the
risk associated with the changes in market  conditions  could influence  written
options.

Net Income and Stockholders' Equity

Net income for the  nine-month  period ended  September  30, 2002 reached  R$744
million. Net income for the third quarter of 2002 stood at R$269 million.

Earnings per 1000 shares reached R$1.94 in the third quarter of 2002.

Stockholders' equity stood at R$6.2 billion in September 2002.

Assets and Liabilities

Unibanco's  consolidated  total assets  reached  R$73.4 billion on September 30,
2002. R$28.2 billion of Unibanco's total assets were lending,  leasing and other
credits,  R$21.3 billion were  marketable  securities  and derivative  financial
instruments  - issued  primarily by the federal  government - and R$8.5  billion
were interbank investments.

Securities Portfolio

The 36.9%  devaluation  of the real  during the  quarter  was the main factor to
impact  the  balance  of  securities.  Since the  securities  portfolio  held to
maturity  consists  largely of securities  indexed to the foreign exchange rate,
their balance increased compared to other assets.

Lending, leasing and other credits Portfolio

The lending,  leasing and other credits  portfolio in September  2002, at R$28.5
billion,  increased by 7.4% over the quarter - slightly  above the market growth
of 6.7%.

Since personal lending,  leasing and other credits are not dollar-indexed,  they
were not  affected  by the Real  devaluation.  The  consumer  credit  companies'
lending,  leasing  and other  credits  portfolio  posted a 10.6% drop during the
quarter. The reduction in the volume of credit operations at these companies was
driven by more rigid credit granting policies.

The credit portfolio in the Wholesale segment, including Private Banking, posted
a 10.2% growth relative to the previous quarter, which can be mostly ascribed to
the exchange rate fluctuation. Excluding the exchange rate effect, the portfolio
would have decreased by 0.4% in the quarter.

At the end of September 2002, the  consolidated  allowance for lending,  leasing
and other credits losses  balance  totaled  R$1,900  million.  Total  provisions
increased  from 6.7% of total  lending,  leasing and other credits at the end of
September 2002.

In September 2002, Unibanco's overall funding reached R$78.7 billion,  including
R$19.3  billion in funds  under  management.  Total  local and  foreign  funding
increased 19.1% over the quarter to R$59.4 billion on September 30, 2002.  Local
funding  increased 21.2% in the quarter to R$41.9 billion,  mainly due to growth
in deposits and open market funding.

Capital Adequacy Ratio

The BIS ratio over the quarter was 12.3% in September 30, 2002. In October 2002,
the Brazilian Central Bank edited Circular 3156 that changed the weighting rules
of the net  foreign  exchange  exposure  for the Basel  calculation.  The factor
applicable to net exposure,  which was previously 50%, became 100%. Furthermore,
the Central Bank reduced the maximum allowed  exposure to the exchange rate from
60% to 30% of the  reference  equity  base.  This new rule came  into  effect in
October 2002.

Results

The third quarter of 2002  financial  intermediation  revenues of R$5.7 billion.
The adjusted  results  provided by  securities  posted a 67.4% growth during the
quarter, due to the increase in balances and the exchange rate fluctuation.  The
revenues and expenses from financial  intermediation were mostly affected by the
foreign  exchange  fluctuation.  The average spreads of the Retail and Wholesale
portfolios  remained  unchanged in the third  quarter of 2002.  The net adjusted
financial  margin,  considering the net impact on investments  abroad,  stood at
10.7% in the third  quarter  of 2002 and 10.5% in the  nine-month  period  ended
September 30, 2002.

Expenses  with  provisions  for loan losses  totaled  R$717 million in the third
quarter of 2002.  In the third  quarter of 2002  provisions  increased  by R$209
million due to more prudential criteria than those required by Resolution 2682.

Additionally,  also due to prudential  measures,  several other  provisions were
reinforced during the quarter amounting to R$74 million.

Investments  abroad  totaling  R$3.8  billion  and R$2.8  billion  at the end of
September and June 2002, respectively, were kept approximately 60% hedged.

Fees from Services Rendered

Total fees from  services  rendered in the third  quarter of 2002 totaled  R$670
million.  During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, total fees from
services rendered, of R$1.9 billion.

The third quarter of 2002 banking fees of R$348 million.

Revenues from the credit card business amounted to R$258 million in the quarter.

Efficiency Ratio

The third quarter of 2002 efficiency ratio posted a slight increase  compared to
the  previous  quarter  from  52.6%  to  55.6%,  due  mostly  to the  collective
bargaining and the single bonus paid to all bank workers. If one disregards this
impact,  the ratio would be 53.9%. In the nine-month  period ended September 30,
2002 the ratio posted an improvement.
