Exhibit 99.2

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders
Unibanco- União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income and of changes in financial position and the related unconsolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unibanco- União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their changes in financial position for the years then ended in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and approved Brazilian auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Accounting practices adopted in Brazil vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements.

Operations

The operations of Unibanco - União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and  jointly controlled  companies in Brazil and abroad include, in addition to the financial activities of the Unibanco Conglomerate, other activities carried out by subsidiaries with specific objectives principally related to insurance, credit card operations, annuity product plans and private retirement plans.

Presentation of Financial Statements

The financial statements of Unibanco - União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. and its foreign branches (Unibanco) are presented together with the consolidated financial statements of Unibanco and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and its jointly controlled companies (Unibanco Consolidated), as shown in Note 11.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with consolidation principles determined by the Brazilian Securities Commission and Brazilian Central Bank. Intercompany investments, balances, income and expenses, as well as unrealized intercompany gains and losses, were eliminated upon consolidation. The investments held by consolidated companies in Exclusive Investment Funds have been consolidated and Investments in these fund portfolios are classified by type of transaction and type of instruments. The assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of jointly controlled companies have been included in the consolidated financial statements on a proportional basis.

The financial statements of the leasing subsidiary was reclassified by means of consolidation adjustments, in order to reflect its financial position and results of operations in the consolidation, in accordance with the financial method of accounting for leasing transactions.

In preparing our financial statements, estimates and assumptions were used to account for certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Estimates and assumptions were used to account for the allowance for credit losses, the provision for litigation, the fair value of financial instruments, in the methods of determining reserves of insurance and private retirement plan businesses and to determine the remaining useful lives of certain assets. Actual results in future periods could differ from those estimates and assumptions and judgments adopted.
 
Accounting practices adopted in Brazil in the preparation of these financial statements differs from generally accepted accounting practices in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These financial statements include in Note 26 information not required by accounting practices adopted in Brazil with respect to significant differences in determining stockholders equity and net income between accounting practices adopted in Brazil (“Brazilian GAAP”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Contingent assets – Contingent assets are not recorded, except upon evidence guaranteeing their realization.

Contingent liabilities – Contingent liabilities are recorded, based on the opinion of Legal Counsel Advisers and the Administration, whenever a loss is considered as probable for judicial and administrative claims, which would cause a probable outflow of resources for the settlement of liabilities and when the amounts involved can be reasonably estimated.

(h) Technical provisions for insurance, complementary pension plans and annuity products

The technical provisions are recorded in accordance with the rules of Resolution CNSP no. 162/06 and 139/05. In accordance with Resolution CNSP no. 135/05, an actuarial valuation is also performed on an annual basis and reported to the Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP) with the respective actuarial report

The provision for unearned premiums (PPNG) is recorded to cover claims to be incurred through the deferment of premium income over the related contract period according to the regulation of the Superintendency of Private Insurance - SUSEP. When the actuarial calculation determines a shortfall the provision for insufficient premiums (PIP) is increased.

The provision for payment of unsettled claims (PSL) is recorded to cover claims reported until the date of the calculation base, considering commitments assumed by the insurance company.

The mathematical provisions represent the present value of future benefits estimated based on actuarial methods and assumptions.

The mathematical provision for benefits to be granted represents the commitments assumed with participants, whose vesting event and the Mathematical Provision for Benefits granted corresponds the value of commitments whose vesting event has already occurred. Both provisions are calculated according to methodology approved in the Actuarial Note of the plan or product.

(v)        Hedge Accounting

(a)  On December 31, 2007, there were derivative financial instruments recognized as cash flow hedges accounted for at fair value and associated to the US dollar fluctuations and indexed to interbank interest rate (CDI) represented by future transactions of R$35,091,662 in Unibanco and in Unibanco Consolidated, swap contracts in the amount of R$1,538,634 in Unibanco and in Unibanco Consolidated and forward transactions in the amount of R$68,962 in Unibanco and Unibanco Consolidated. Associated with variations of interbank interest rate (CDI) and assets instruments with exchange variance. These contracts presented on December 31, 2007, a loss net of applicable taxes and minority interest, in the amount of R$545 in Unibanco and R$537 in Unibanco Consolidated, which were recorded in “Unrealized gains or losses – marketable securities and derivatives”. The hedges as of December 31, 2007, were undertaken in accordance with the standards established by the Brazilian Central Bank and for 2007, was not identified ineffective hedge to be accounted.

The transactions shown above do not represent Unibanco’s total exposure to market, currency and interest rate risks since they only consider the derivative financial instruments.

(b)  The swap transactions associated with funding and/or asset operations in the amount of R$1,414,760 in Unibanco and in Unibanco Consolidated are recorded at current notional value, adjusted in accordance with the index variation occurred (“carrying amount”), and are not adjusted to their fair value, in accordance with Circular nº. 3,150/02 the Brazilian Central Bank.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Reais, unless otherwise indicated)


The allowance for credit losses is recorded in accordance with Resolution 2682 of the Brazilian National Monetary Council. The minimum allowance for each level is used as a general rule, however, based on the judgment and experience of management, higher percentages are used within each level in order to assess the risk of certain clients, operations or portfolios more accurately.

(e)   The balance of renegotiated transactions with clients as established in Resolution 2682 of the Brazilian National Monetary Council totaled R$621,896 (2006 - R$881,530) in Unibanco and R$972,966 (2006 - R$1,124,940) in Unibanco Consolidated. These transactions relate to the active portfolio and credits written off, and were re-classified in a manner which maintain the risk assessment and the provision for losses existing prior to renegotiation. These transactions are only re-assessed to higher classification only after the collection of a significant portion of the renegotiated debt.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 
Civil litigation is mainly represented by claims for personal and moral injury, due to among other reasons, returns of checks, protests of notes considered not due and economic plans. As from the six-months ended June 30, 2007 we have also refined the method to estimate the amount of the provisions based on: (i) the individual analysis regarding the potential amount of the probable losses, pursuant to the advice of our legal counsel for claims with significant individual amounts; (ii) the balance of judicial deposits converted into payments, with respect to the civil claims with judicial deposits; and (iii) the historic average of payments made, for all other claims. In 2007, provisions in the amount of R$211,639 were booked as results from non recurring events, before the tax effects, due to the change in the method to estimate the amount of the probable losses, as described above.

Tax claims, which are considered legal liabilities based on Deliberation CVM nº 489, regardless of the probability of loss, and those tax claims with loss classification as probable, in accordance with our opinion or the opinion of our legal advisors, are fully provided. The claims considered as legal liabilities have a remote or possible risk of loss in accordance with the opinion of legal advisors.

On December 31, 2007, Unibanco and its subsidiaries maintained provision for such causes in the total amount of R$1,784,630 in Unibanco and R$2,763,805 in Unibanco Consolidated, mainly: (i) widening of the calculation basis of Profit Participation Program – PIS and Tax and Social Security Financing – COFINS by Law 9,718, in the amount of R$1,201,956 in Unibanco and R$1,603,270 in Unibanco Consolidated; (ii) Deductibility of interest and taxes whose payments are suspended, in the amount of R$311,107 in Unibanco and R$384,011 in Unibanco Consolidated; and (iii) Social Contribution on Net Income of non-employees companies in the amount of R$140,088 in Unibanco Consolidated. In 2007 and 2006, provisions in the amounts of R$274,042 and R$83,065, respectively, were booked as results from non recurring events, due to changes on the case laws applicable to certain tax thesis.

On December 31, 2007, according to legal advisors’ opinion, we do not record provisions for claims considered as possible loss. Such claims, mainly related to tax, net of tax effects, represent the amount of R$949,971 (2006 – R$1,043,967) in Unibanco Consolidated, in which we are contesting:

 
(i)
Deductibility of losses on credits receivables in the amount of R$169,175 (2006 – R$141,084);
 
(ii)
Deductibility of goodwill on investments acquisitions in the amount of R$154,834 (2006 – R$210,335);

Stock option program

Unibanco has a Stock Option Plan, which aims to align the executives’ commitment with long term results and reward exceptional performance. It is also an instrument for attraction, retention and motivation of talented people. In the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, held in March 2007, a change in the Stock Option Plan was approved to allow the establishment of a program, in which some executives are chosen to be “partners” of Unibanco. The Partner Program has become the main incentive program to executives. These executives will be able to invest a percentage of their respective bonuses to acquire Unibanco Units and, for each acquired Unit each executive will receive certain amount of Bonus Units (options to acquire Units subjected to defined vesting conditions). The granted Units stock options can be exercised by the executives in 3 to 5 years. The annual granted options cannot exceed 1% of the authorized capital and total granted options are limited to 10% of authorized capital.

The amounts shown above reflect transactions between Unibanco and its subsidiary companies, and have been eliminated on consolidation. Transactions with unconsolidated related parties are limited to normal banking transactions and are not material in the operational context of Unibanco.

Related-party transactions were undertaken at average market rates in effect at the respective transaction dates, considering the absence of risk.

Services rendered relate basically to services offered by Unibanco to the group companies according to the terms of contractual agreements, through utilization of physical assets and personnel related to credit card, leasing, annuity products plans, insurance operations and brokerage.

Other administrative expenses relate mainly to the payment of rents based on the fair value of the buildings according to the lease contracts.

22.  Financial Instruments

(a)  Purposes and use policies

Unibanco uses derivative financial instruments to manage its own overall exposures or to assist its clients, in managing market risks, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk (hedge). In addition, Unibanco enters into derivative contracts for trading purposes to take advantage of market opportunities.

(b)  Hedge policies

Derivative financial instruments can be used as part of asset and liability risk management and can be used on an overall basis to hedge Unibanco’s net position undertaken in certain markets or related to specific assets and liabilities attributed to a particular risk.

(c)  Strategy and management of risk

Unibanco continuously strives to improve its risk management practices, which are integrated into the various levels of the organization. A separate division is responsible for identifying, measuring and managing market, credit and operational risk on an institution-wide basis. In addition, each business division has dedicated risk management staff.

Market and liquidity risk

The management of market risk and liquidity is conducted through daily monitoring of exposure level vis-à-vis limits established with the help of tools such as VAR, sensitivity analysis and stress testing.

Operational risk

Operational risk management is conducted through evaluating new products and transactions, monitoring processes, defining risk indicators, and quantifying potential operating losses, allowing for the establishment of a solid culture of operational risk monitoring and mitigation.

The fair value of derivatives was based on an internal valuation model, based on the average rate for the last business day of the year for operations with similar maturities and indices, as informed by the 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 the Unit’s price at December 28, 2007 on the São Paulo Stock Exchange.

26.2 Narrative description of the reconciling differences
 
(1)
Mark to market on certain available for sale securities
 
Under US GAAP, all marketable securities should be recorded at fair value. Under Brazilian GAAP, investments in marketable securities that are considered as “permanent investments” should be recorded at cost. Consequently, under US GAAP, we recognized as of December 31, 2007 a reconciling item to stockholders equity for the difference between cost and fair value of marketable securities that are considered “permanent investments” under Brazilian GAAP and are classified as available for sale securities under US GAAP.  This difference did not have any impact in net income for the years presented.
 
(2)
Foreign currency gains and losses  on available for sale securities
 
Under US GAAP, the foreign exchange gains and losses related to available for sale securities denominated in a foreign currency is considered to be part of the fair value adjustment of these instruments and is recorded directly in the stockholders’ equity. Under Brazilian GAAP, foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized directly in income. This difference does not affect stockholders’ equity but for USGAAP, the gain/loss recognized in income under Brazilian GAAP is reverted.
 
(3)
Impairment on available for sale securities
 
US GAAP requires declines in the fair value of securities below their cost basis that are deemed to be other-than-temporary to be recorded in earnings as impairment losses. In determining whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, in addition to the ability and positive intent to hold the investments for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value, factors such as the extent of decline in fair value below cost and the length of time that the decline has continued are considered. Under Brazilian GAAP impairment losses are recognized in income when the losses are considered of “permanent” nature. The requirements under US GAAP are stricter and consequently we recognized in the reconciliation of net income: (i) additional impairment losses on our available for sale securities that are considered to be impaired under US GAAP, and (ii) the reversal of the effect in net income of permanent impairments recognized under Brazilian GAAP that had been recognized as impairment loss in prior years under US GAAP.
 
(4)
Derivative financial instruments not qualified as cash flow hedge
 
Under US GAAP, as from January 1, 2007 all derivative financial instruments are accounted for as trading assets or liabilities because they do not meet the strict hedge accounting criteria established under the criteria prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and related authoritative literature.  
 
Prior to January 1, 2007 in our financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP that we made publicly available at the time, we applied cash flow hedge accounting to certain derivative instruments that were designated as hedging the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to variability in the Brazilian benchmark interbank interest rate (CDI) relating to certain time deposits, loans and debentures.
 
We have subsequently concluded that all of the criteria in SFAS 133 had not been met for the application of cash flow hedge accounting in those previously issued consolidated financial statements under US GAAP for years ended December 31, 2006 and before. We have concluded, based on a SAB 99 analysis, that the effect of the prior errors on reported net income for those periods was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for each of those respective years.  Given that management concluded such error was immaterial to our financial statements, we did not restate the consolidated financial statements for 2006 that were previously issued. For purposes of the reconciliation of stockholders equity as of December 31, 2006 and of net income for the year ended December 31, 2006 between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP we have applied for US GAAP purposes hedge accounting for those instruments in the same manner we have applied in our originally issued financial statements under US GAAP  for 2006. We have also concluded that the necessary cumulative adjustment to correct the effects for those years is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the reconciliation of net income for 2007 we have recognized a loss of R$ 129 as a cumulative adjustment with a related income tax effect of R$44.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 
Brazilian GAAP permits hedge accounting for certain derivative hedging activities, including portfolio hedges, using less restrictive hedging criteria than those required under US GAAP. Under Brazilian GAAP the portion considered effective of the unrealized change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments is recognized directly in stockholders’ equity. Additionally as indicated in Note 5.f. (v) swap instruments meeting certain conditions established by the Brazilian Central Bank are not recorded at fair value but at the accrued amount of each of the two legs of the swap.  For purposes of the US GAAP reconciliation the amount recorded directly in stockholders’ equity under Brazilian GAAP is recognized in income as well as the effect of valuing at fair value swaps recorded under Brazilian GAAP at its accrued amount.
 
(5)
Reversal of capitalized pre-operating costs
 
Under US GAAP pre-operating costs are expensed as incurred while under Brazilian GAAP these costs can be capitalized and amortized during the expected period to be benefited not exceeding five years.  The effect in the reconciliation of net income includes: (i) the reversal of amortization of such costs under Brazilian GAAP, and (ii) the recognition as expense for US GAAP of amounts capitalized during the year. The effect in the reconciliation of stockholders’ equity corresponds to the unamortized balance as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 that are recorded under Brazilian GAAP and are reversed for US GAAP purposes.
 
(6)
Adjustments related to business combinations
 
Under Brazilian GAAP assets and liabilities of business acquired are recorded at its carrying amount and goodwill is computed as the difference between the purchase price consideration and net assets at its carrying amount. Under Brazilian  GAAP assets and liabilities of the entity acquired are not recorded at its fair value on acquisition date. Additionally under Brazilian GAAP intangible assets of the business acquired were not separately recognized. When purchase price consideration is paid in debt or equity instruments such instruments are measured at its nominal amount which in the case of equity instruments is the price agreed between the parties as of the date of the agreement to acquire a business. Goodwill under Brazilian GAAP is amortized over periods not exceeding five years. If the company acquired is merged into another company and the brand use is discontinued, goodwill is amortized in full.
 
Under US GAAP assets and liabilities acquired are recorded generally at its estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and debt and equity securities issued as part of purchase price consideration are valued at its estimated fair value at the time of the announcement of the transaction.

Allowance for loan losses
 
Under US GAAP, we consider all larger balance nonperforming loans (amounts higher than R$5,000) subject to specific review for impairment. Once a loan has been identified as impaired, we measure impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, as amended by SFAS 118 “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures”. The measurement of impairment on an impaired loan is based (i) on the present value of the loan’s expected cash flows discounted at the loans original effective interest rate; or (ii) the realizable value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the carrying value of the impaired loan exceeds the measure of estimated fair value, a specific allowance is established as a component of the allowance for loan losses.  Wholesale loans and small-balance homogeneous loans with similar characteristics, such as overdrafts, credit card loans, mortgage loans and consumer finance loans, are managed using specialized systems and processes. We use a wide range of statistical tools to evaluate loans requests and client’s performance, which include credit and behavior scoring models.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Reais, unless otherwise indicated)

 
Under Brazilian GAAP, the allowance is determined based on several factors such as economic environment, accumulated experience, specific and general portfolio risks, as well as the regulations of the Central Bank.  The allowance under Brazilian GAAP  should not be less the regulatory required amount which is computed by applying specific percentages of allowance determined by the Central Bank to loans depending on the category on which they are classified. Under Brazilian GAAP, individually significant impaired loans are not measured at the present value of the expected cash flows or the realizable value of the underlying collateral.
 
The differences in the accounting standards between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP has resulted in differences in the allowance for loan losses being recognized as reconciling items in the reconciliation of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows.
 
(8)
Accounting for loan and credit card fees and costs
 
Under US GAAP, loan and credit card origination fees and costs are recognized over the period in which the fee entitles the cardholders to use the credit card or over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield on these loans. Under Brazilian GAAP, these fees and costs are directly recognized in  income when earned or incurred.
 
(9)
Deferred insurance acquisition costs and additional liability for pension investment contracts
 
Under USGAAP, the costs that vary with and are related to the production of new insurance business are deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable from future profits. Such costs include mainly commissions, costs of policy issuance and variable back-office expenses and are amortized over the expected life of the contracts in proportion to the premium income. Deferred acquisition costs are subject to recoverability testing at the end of each accounting period and, if not recoverable, are fully expensed. Under Brazilian GAAP, only commissions are deferred while all other costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Also, under USGAAP, pension investment contracts where the investment risk is for the account of policyholders, are considered investment contracts. For these contracts, an additional liability for the contract feature is established if the present value of expected annuitization payment at the expected annuitization date exceeds the expected account balance at the annuitization date. Under Brazilian  GAAP, additional liability for pension investment contracts is recorded in accordance with the rules and regulations issued by the insurance regulator (SUSEP), which are generally more conservative and comprehensive than under US GAAP. The effect in the reconciliation of stockholders’ equity and in net income is related to the reversal of the additional liability recognized under Brazilian GAAP following regulatory requirements that that do not satisfy the requirements of US GAAP.
 
(10)
Stock-based compensation plans
 
Under USGAAP, Unibanco records the cost of stock-based compensation plans considered as liability awards as expense against a liability, while for the plans considered as equity awards the effect is recognized as an expense against the stockholders’ equity (additional paid-in capital). Under Brazilian GAAP for the years presented no cost of stock-based compensation plans is recognized

(11)
Provision for Contingencies including uncertain income tax positions
 
The difference in net income and stockholders’ equity  are the result of (i) adjustments to the amount of contingent liabilities recognized under Brazilian GAAP resulting from incorporating into the estimate of the contingent liability, information available after the issuance of the statutory financial statements in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, and (ii) differences in the criteria for recognition and measurement of uncertain tax benefits which under FIN 48 should be recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.
 
(12) 
Accounting for minority interest in Unibanco Participações Societárias S.A. (“UPS”)
 
UPS was until June 2007 a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unibanco. In July 2007 UPS issued to a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank 14,509,519 non-redeemable preferred shares for total consideration of R$ 1,951,708. After the share issuance, the interest of Unibanco reduced from 100% to 51%. The non-redeemable preferred shares issued by UPS are considered to be in substance common stock following the guidance provided in Emerging Issues Task Force 02-14 “Whether an Investor Should apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investment Other than Common Stock”.
 
Under Brazilian GAAP, gains from issuance of shares to third parties are recognized in income while under US GAAP results from issuance of shares by subsidiaries to third parties (when the issue price per share differs from the carrying amount of the investment in the shares of the subsidiary) are recognized in income limited to transactions when realization of the gain is reasonably assured.
 
In preparation of the transaction with Deutsche certain asset were transferred by Unibanco to UPS resulting in an increase in the tax base from transactions with stockholders. No deferred tax effect resulted under Brazilian GAAP.
 
As result of the differences in accounting practices the following amounts have been recognized in stockholders equity under US GAAP during 2007:
 
Gain on issuance of shares whose realization is not reasonably assured
  R$ 337,657  
Deferred tax on transactions with stockholders
  R$ 217,626  
Total
  R$ 555,283  
 
Since shares of UPS are not listed, the parties have established a transferable free-standing put and call option agreement in case either party decides to terminate the partnership. Under Brazilian GAAP the option agreements are measured as the difference as of each measurement date between the price to be paid upon exercise by the option and the net book value of the shares of UPS. Under US GAAP the options are considered a single instrument and measured using option pricing techniques.  The following table presents the amount recognized as a liability under Brazilian GAAP with respect to the option and the corresponding fair value of the option recognized for US GAAP purposes:
 
Liability recognized in Brazilian GAAP with respect to the option
  R$ 230,553  
Fair value of the option - Asset
  R$ 23,824  
Difference recognized as increase in stockholders’ equity in the reconciliation between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP
  R$ 254,377  
 
The differences in the accounting criteria used to account for the transaction between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP result in a reduction in the gain recognized for the transactions as compared to  Brazilian GAAP as follows:
 
Gain on issuance of shares recognized for US GAAP purposes in stockholders equity and recognized in income for Brazilian GAAP
  R$ (337,657 )
Effect in income as result of difference in criteria to account for option
  R$ 254,377  
Difference recognized as reduction in income in the reconciliation between Brazilian GAAP and US GAAP

Subsequent Events
 
(a) Association between Unibanco and Itaú

On November 3, 2008, Itaúsa - Investimentos Itaú S.A. (ITAÚSA) and Unibanco Holdings S.A. (Unibanco Holdings) entered into an agreement for the association, aiming at unifying the financial operations of Banco Itaú S.A. (ITAÚ) and Unibanco – União de Bancos Brasileiros S.A. (Unibanco). This transaction received BACEN’s approval on February 18, 2009.

This association comprised a corporate reorganization, which resulted in the migration of the current stockholders of Unibanco Holdings and Unibanco to a listed company – named at that time Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A. and currently named Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (Itaú Unibanco) control over which is shared as result of the association between Itaúsa and the Unibanco Holdings controlling stockholders through IUPAR – Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A., a non-financial holding company set up in this reorganization.

At the Extraordinary Stockholders’ Meeting held on November 28, 2008, it was approved the exchange of all shares of E.Johnston Representação e Participações S.A. (E.Johnston), Unibanco Holdings and Unibanco were for shares of Banco Itaú S.A. , then a controlled subsidiary of Itaú Unibanco, and then those shares of Banco Itaú S.A. were exchanged for shares of Itaú Unibanco,

The common shares of UNIBANCO and Unibanco Holdings held by non-controlling stockholders were replaced by common shares of Itaú Unibanco, following the same exchange ratio that was negotiated by the parties for the replacement of common shares of Unibanco Holdings’ controlling stockholders. For preferred shares, the exchange ratio was established based on the average market quotation, at BM&F Bovespa, for the last 45 trading sessions prior to November 3, 2008, of Units (stock certificates, representing one preferred share of Unibanco and one preferred share of Unibanco Holdings) and preferred shares of Itaú Holding.

On March 31, 2009, the trading symbols of securities originally issued by Unibanco and Unibanco Holdings (UBBR3, UBBR4, UBHD3, UBHD6, UBBR11 and UBB) will be unified with the trading symbols of securities issued by Itaú Unibanco (ITAU3, ITAU4 and ITU) as result of the exchange of securities issued by Unibanco and Unibanco Holdings for securities issued by Itaú Unibanco. After the exchange of securities Unibanco and Unibanco Holdings requested and obtained the delisting and deregistration of its shares.

(b) Acquisition of interest in AIG Seguros S.A.

On November 2008 we entered into an agreement with American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) to acquire, for the purchase price of US$820 million, all shares held by AIG in Unibanco AIG Seguros S.A., which shall have its name changed to Unibanco Seguros S.A., generating goodwill in the amount of R$1,095,848 based on the expectation of future profitability to be amortized up to five years of the purchase amount. Out of the purchase priced the amount of US$15 million were paid through the transfer to AIG of 54,213,937 common shares of AIG Brasil Companhia de Seguros held by Unibanco. Purchase price was paid during 2008. As a result of this transaction we acquired from AIG all shares of Unibanco AIG Seguros S.A. not previously held by us and we became the only shareholder of Unibanco AIG Seguros S.A.
