Independent auditor's report on the consolidated financial statements

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Institution"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2011 and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

 

Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor's responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institution's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institution's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2011, and their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Executive Board on February 28, 2012.

 

 
 

 

NOTE 02 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

 

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

These consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING were prepared taking into consideration that the National Monetary Council (CMN) Resolution No. 3,786 established that starting December 31, 2010, annual consolidated financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

For the purposes of the accompanying financial statements, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING elected January 1, 2010 as the date of transition from the accounting practices adopted in Brazil (“BRGAAP”) to IFRS. BRGAAP has been defined as the previous accounting practice (“Prior GAAP”), for purposes of IFRS 1 – “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. Such adoption followed the provisions of Brazilian Central Bank (“BACEN”) Circular Letter No. 3,435.

 

These consolidated financial statements are presented following the accounting practices described in this note.

 

In the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopted the criteria for recognition, measurement and disclosure established in the IFRS pronouncements issued by the IASB, and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) described in this note. For this reason, these consolidated financial statements are in full conformity with the pronouncements issued by the IASB, and the interpretations issued by the IFRIC, and represent the first complete financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS.

 

The reconciliation between stockholders’ equity under BRGAAP, defined as the “Prior GAAP”, and IFRS at the transition date is presented in Note 2.5 (B) together with a description of the applicable exemptions and the mandatory exceptions, as defined by IFRS 1.

 

IFRS 1 is applied when an entity adopts the IFRS in the preparation of its annual financial statements for the first time, with an explicit and unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS. In general, IFRS 1 requires the entity to comply with each IFRS accounting standard effective at the date of preparation of its first IFRS consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 1 grants exemptions that provide limited relief from requirements in specific areas in which the cost of producing information could exceed the benefits to users of financial statements. In addition, IFRS 1 also prohibits the retrospective application of certain standards or criteria to some areas, particularly those in which the retrospective application could require Management to exercise judgment over conditions that did not exist at the time of the transactions.

 

The summary of the IFRS1 applicable exemptions and of the exceptions adopted by Management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is presented in Note 2.5 (A).

 

We also present in Note 2.5 (B) the reconciliation between stockholders’ equity and net income under BRGAAP and IFRS, on the base date December 31, 2010.

 

The consolidated statement of cash flows shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents during the period from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid financial investments.

 

Cash flows from operating activities are presented under the indirect method. Consolidated net income is adjusted for non-monetary items, such as measurement gains and losses, changes in provisions and in receivables and liabilities balances. All income and expense arising from non-monetary transactions, attributable to investing and financing activities, are eliminated. Interest received or paid is classified as operating cash flows.

 

 
 

 

2.2 NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS, CHANGES TO AND INTERPRETATIONS OF EXISTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

a)Changes to accounting pronouncements applicable for the year ended December 31, 2011

 

·IFRIC 13 – “Customer Loyalty Programmes” – clarifies the concept of fair value in the event of granting credit as part of a customer loyalty programmes. This change in interpretation has not significantly impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IFRIC 14 – “IAS 19 : The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction”- averts an unintentional consequence of IFRIC 14 related to voluntary prepayments of pension plans whenever there is a minimum funding requirement. This change in interpretation has not impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IFRIC 19 – “Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments” – Addresses the accounting of extinguishing financial liabilities by issuing equity instruments. Clarifies that the gain or loss from extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments should be recorded in income. This change in interpretation has not impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 1 – “Presentation of Financial Statements” – clarifies that an entity should disclose an analysis of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity or in the notes to the financial statements. This change in the pronouncement has not significantly impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 24 – “Related Party Disclosure” – addresses new requirements for relations with government agencies and excludes operations between affiliates. This change in the pronouncement has not impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 27 – “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” – establishes that the loss of control of a subsidiary, loss of significant influence in an associate and loss of joint control in a joint venture are similar events and should be recorded and measured at fair value; any gains and losses should be recorded in income. This change in the pronouncement has not significantly impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 32 – “Financial Instruments: Presentation” – establishes the conditions under which the issue of certain rights, in a functional currency other than the entity’s functional currency, may be classified as an equity instrument. This change in the pronouncement has not impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IAS 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting” – requires the disclosure of material transactions and events in interim financial statements. This change in the pronouncement has not impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IFRS 1 – “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” – addresses limited exemptions from the comparative disclosures of IFRS 7. This change in the pronouncement has not significantly impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IFRS 3 (R) – “Business Combinations” – addresses participation of non-controlling interests and acquired options. This change in the pronouncement has not significantly impacted the consolidated financial statements.

 

·IFRS 7 – “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” – emphasizes the interaction between quantitative and qualitative disclosures on the nature and extent of risks associated with financial instruments, particularly pledged guarantees maintained. The new disclosure requirements for example regarding the financial effect of guarantees are presented in Note 35.

 

 
 

 

b)Accounting pronouncements recently issued and applicable in future periods

 

The following pronouncements will become applicable for periods after the date of these consolidated financial statements and were not early adopted:

 

·IAS 32 – “Financial Instruments: Presentation” – this change was issued to clarify the offsetting requirements for financial instruments in the balance sheet. The change is applicable for years beginning on January 1, 2014. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this change.

 

·IFRS 7 – “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” – in October, 2010, a change was issued to this pronouncement requiring additional disclosures on transfers of assets (remaining risks) and transfers close to the balance sheet date. It is applicable for periods beginning after July 1, 2011. Additionally, in December 2011, a new change to the pronouncement was issued requiring additional disclosures on the offsetting process. These requirements are applicable for the years beginning after January 1, 2013. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this change.

 

·IFRS 9 – “Financial Instruments” – the pronouncement is the first step in the process of replacing IAS 39 - “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for classifying and measuring financial assets, and it is expected to significant affect the accounting for financial instruments of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. It is not applicable before January 1, 2015, although early adoption is permitted.

 

·IAS 19 – “Employee Benefits” – it will not be possible to use the “corridor” method any longer, and all changes should be recorded in other cumulative comprehensive. It is applicable for years beginning after January 1, 2013. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this change.

 

·IFRS 10 – “Consolidated Financial Statements” – the pronouncement changes the current principle, identifying the concept of control as a determining fact of when an entity should be consolidated. IFRS 10 provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of which entity controls another in certain cases where this judgment is complex. It is not effective until January 1, 2013. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

 

·IFRS 11 – “Joint Arrangements” – the pronouncement provides a different approach for analyses of “Joint Arrangements” focused on the rights and obligations of the arrangements rather than on the legal form. IFRS 11 divides the “Joint Arrangements” into two types: “Joint Operations” and “Joint Ventures”, in accordance with the rights and obligations of the parties. For investments in Joint Ventures, proportionate consolidation is no longer permitted. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

 

·IFRS 12 – “Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities” – the pronouncement includes new requirements for disclosure of all types of investments in other entities, such as joint arrangements, associates and special purpose entities. It is not effective until January 1, 2013. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

 

·IFRS 13 – “Fair Value Measurement” – the purpose of this pronouncement is a better alignment between IFRS and USGAAP, increasing consistency and reducing the complexity of the disclosures by using consistent definitions of fair value. It is not effective until January 1, 2013. Currently it is being analyzed if there will be any possible impact arising from the adoption of this standard.

 

 
 

 

2.3 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, gains and losses over the reporting and subsequent periods, because actual results may differ from those determined in accordance with such estimates and assumptions.

 

All estimates and assumptions made by Management are in accordance with IFRS and represent the current best estimates made in conformity with the applicable rule standards. Estimates and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis, considering past experience and other factors.

 

The consolidated financial statements reflect a variety of estimates and assumptions. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions that have the most significant impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are described below:

 

a)Allowance for loan losses

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically reviews its portfolio of loans and receivables to evaluate the existence of impairment.

 

In order to determine the amount of the allowance for loan losses in the Consolidated Statement of Income with respect to certain receivables or a group of receivables, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING exercises its judgment to determine whether objective evidence indicates that an event of loss has occurred. These evidences may include observable data that indicates that an adverse change has occurred in relation to the expected cash inflows from the counterparty or the existence of a change in local or international economic conditions that correlates with impairment. Management uses estimates based on the history of loss experience in loan operations with similar characteristics and with similar objective evidence of impairment. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are regularly reviewed by Management, considering the adequacy of models and sufficiency of provision volumes in view of the experience of incurred loss.

 

At December 31, 2011, the allowance amounted to R$ 23,873 (R$ 19,994 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 20,245 at January 1, 2010).

 

If the present value of the estimated cash flows were to have a positive or negative variation of 1%, the allowance for loan losses would be increased or decreased by approximately R$ 3,224 at December 31, 2011 and R$ 2,748 December 31, 2010.

 

The details on the methodology and assumptions used by Management are disclosed in Note 2.4 (g) (VIII).

 

b)Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

As explained in Note 2.4 (n), deferred tax assets are recognized only in relation to temporary differences and loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING will generate future taxable profit for their utilization. The expected realization of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s deferred tax asset is based on the projection of future income and other technical studies, as disclosed in Note 26. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2011 is R$ 28,810 (R$ 25,920 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 26,794 at January 1, 2010).

 

c)Fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives

 

Financial instruments recorded at fair value at December 31, 2011 are assets amounting to R$ 178,339 (R$ 168,119 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 102,816 at January 1, 2010), of which R$ 8,754 are derivatives (R$ 7,777 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 5,589 at January 1, 2010) and liabilities in the amount of R$ 9,562 (R$ 7,006 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 5,995 at January 1, 2010), of which R$ 6,747 are derivatives (R$ 5,671 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 5,332 at January 1, 2010). The fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives that are not traded in active markets, is calculated by using valuation techniques. This calculation is based on assumptions that take into consideration Management’s judgment about market information and conditions existing at the balance sheet date.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING ranks the fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance and observability of inputs adopted in the measurement process. There are three broad levels related to the fair value hierarchy, detailed in Note 30.

 

 
 

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes that methodologies adopted are appropriate and consistent with market participants. Regardless of this fact, the adoption of other methodologies or use of different assumptions to estimate fair values may result in different fair value estimates.

 

The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of certain financial instruments are described in Note 30.

 

d)Defined benefit pension plan

 

At December 31, 2011, an amount of R$ 97 (R$ 244 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 1,372 at January 1, 2010) was recognized as an asset related to pension plans. The current amount of the pension plan obligations is obtained from actuarial calculations that use a variety of assumptions. Among the assumptions used for estimating the net cost (income) of these plans is the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of pension plan assets or liabilities.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year which is used for determining the present value of estimated future cash outflows necessary for settling the pension plan liabilities. In order to determine the appropriate discount rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING considers the interest rates of the Brazilian federal government bonds that are denominated in Brazilian reais, the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have maturity terms approximating the terms of the related liabilities.

 

Should the discount rate currently used be lower by 0.5% than Management’s estimates, the actuarial amount of the pension plan obligations would be increased by approximately R$ 578.

 

Other important assumptions for pension plan obligations are in part based on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 28.

 

e)Contingent liabilities and provisions

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically reviews its contingencies. These contingencies are evaluated based on Management’s best estimates, taking into account the opinion of legal counsel, when there is a likelihood that financial resources will be required to settle the obligations and the amounts may be reasonably estimated.

 

Contingencies classified as probable losses are recognized in the balance sheet under “Provisions”.

 

Contingent amounts are measured using appropriate models and criteria, despite the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate timing and amounts, as detailed in Note 31.

 

The carrying amount of these contingencies at December 31, 2011 is R$ 15,990 (R$ 14,457 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 13,628 at January 1, 2010).

 

f)Technical provisions for insurance and pension plan

 

Technical provisions are liabilities arising from obligations of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING to its policyholders and participants. These obligations may be short-term liabilities (property and casualty insurance) or medium and long-term liabilities (life insurance and pension plans).

 

The determination of the actuarial liability is subject to several uncertainties inherent in the coverage of insurance and pension contracts, such as the assumptions of persistence, mortality, disability, life expectancy, morbidity, expenses, frequency and severity of claims, conversion of benefits into annuities, redemptions and return on assets.

 

 
 

 

The estimates for these assumptions are based on the historical experience of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, benchmarks and experience of the actuary, in order to comply with best market practices and the continuous review of the actuarial liability. The adjustments resulting from these continuous improvements, when necessary, are recognized in the statement of income for the corresponding period.

 

2.4 SUMMARY OF MAIN ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

 

a)CONSOLIDATION AND PROPORTIONATE CONSOLIDATION

 

I-Subsidiaries

 

In accordance with IAS 27 – “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, subsidiaries are entities in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, and normally corresponding to ownership more than 50% of the voting capital.

 

II-Special Purpose Entities (SPEs)

 

In accordance with SIC 12 – “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities”, we consolidate special purpose entities, when the substance of the relationship between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and the SPEs indicates that the SPEs are controlled by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. The following circumstances may show evidence of control, in substance:

 

·the activities of the SPEs are being conducted on behalf of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, according to its specific business needs so that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING obtains benefits from their operations.

 

·ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of the benefits of the activities of SPEs or ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has the ability to delegate such powers.

 

·ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has the right to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPEs and therefore may be exposed to risks incident to their activities.

 

·ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING retains the majority of the residual risks related to the SPEs or their assets in order to obtain benefits from their activities.

 

III-Joint Ventures

 

IAS 31 – “Interests in Joint Ventures” defines joint ventures as entities jointly controlled by two or more unrelated entities (venturers). Joint ventures include contractual agreements in which two or more entities have joint-control over entities or over operations or over assets, so that the strategic financial and operating decisions that affect them require the unanimous decision of the venturers.

 

Also in accordance with IAS 31, the accounting treatment for investments in joint ventures can be either proportionate consolidation or the equity method. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has elected to use proportionate consolidation.

 

The following table shows the main consolidated subsidiaries and proportionally consolidated joint ventures, as well as the interests of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in their voting capital at December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010:

IV-Business combinations

 

Accounting for business combinations under IFRS 3 (R) is only applicable when a business is acquired. Under IFRS 3 (R), a business is defined as an integrated set of activities and assets that is conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return to investors, or cost reduction or other economic benefits. In general, a business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that are or will be used to generate income. If there is goodwill in a set of activities or transferred assets, this is presumed to be a business. For acquisitions that meet the definition of business combination, accounting under the purchase method is required. The acquisition cost is measured as the fair value of the assets delivered, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the exchange date, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Acquired assets and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities identifiable in a business combination are initially measured at their fair value at the acquisition date, regardless of the existence of non-controlling interests. The excess of the acquisition cost, plus non-controlling interest, if any, over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill. The treatment of goodwill is described in Note 2(k). If the acquisition cost, plus non-controlling interest, if any, is lower than the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in income.

 

 
 

 

For each business combination, the purchaser should measure any non-controlling interest in the acquired company at the fair value or amount proportional to its interest in net assets of the acquired company.

 

b)FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

I -    Functional and presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are presented in Brazilian reais, which is its functional currency and the presentation currency of these consolidated financial statements. For each subsidiary, joint venture and investment in an unconsolidated company, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has defined the functional currency.

 

IAS 21 – “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” defines the functional currency as the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. If the indicators are mixed and the functional currency is not obvious, Management has to use its judgment to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effects of the entity’s operations, focusing on the currency that mainly influences the pricing of transactions. Additional indicators are the currency in which financing or in which funds from operating activities are generated or received, as well as the nature of activities and the extent of transactions between the foreign subsidiaries and the other entities of the consolidated group.

 

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the Brazilian real are translated as follows:

 

·assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.
·income and expenses are translated at monthly average exchange rates.
·exchange differences arising from translation are recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

II-Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as an integral part of “Foreign exchange results and exchange variation on transactions” and amount to R$ 2,186 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (R$ (814) for to the year ended December 31, 2010).

 

In the case of changes in the fair value of monetary assets denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale, the exchange differences resulting from a change in the amortized cost of the instrument are separated from all other changes in the carrying amount of the instrument. The exchange differences resulting from a change in the amortized cost of the instrument are recognized in the income statement, while those resulting from other changes in the carrying amount, except impairment losses, are recognized in other comprehensive income until derecognition or impairment.

 

c)CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING defines cash and cash equivalents as cash and current accounts in banks (included in the heading “Cash and deposits on demand” in the consolidated balance sheet), interbank deposits and securities purchased under agreements to resell that have original maturities of 90 days or less, as shown in Note 3.

 

 
 

 

d)CENTRAL BANK COMPULSORY DEPOSITS

 

The Central Banks of the countries in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING operates currently impose a number of compulsory deposit requirements on financial institutions. Such requirements are applied to a wide range of banking activities and operations, such as demand, savings and time deposits. In the case of Brazil, the acquisition and deposit of Brazilian federal government securities is also required.

 

Compulsory deposits are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method, as detailed in Note 2.4 (g) (VI).

 

e)INTERBANK DEPOSITS

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes its interbank deposits in the balance sheet initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method as detailed in Note 2.4 (g) (VI).

 

f)SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER AGREEMENTS TO RESELL AND SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has purchased transactions with resale agreements (“resale agreements”), and sold transactions with repurchase agreements ("repurchase agreements") of financial assets. Resale and repurchase agreements are accounted for under “Securities purchased under agreements to resell” and “Securities sold under repurchase agreements”, respectively.

 

The amounts invested in resale agreement transactions and borrowed in repurchase agreement transactions are recognized initially in the balance sheet at the amount advanced or raised, and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The difference between the sale and repurchase prices is treated as interest and recognized over the life of the agreements using the effective interest rate method. Interest earned on resale agreement transactions and incurred in repurchase agreement transactions is recognized in “Interest and similar income” and “Interest and similar expense”, respectively.

 

The financial assets accepted as collateral in our resale agreements can be used by us, if provided for in the agreements, as collateral for our repurchase agreements or can be sold.

 

In Brazil, control over custody of financial assets is centralized and the ownership of investments under resale and repurchase agreements is temporarily transferred to the buyer. We strictly monitor the fair value of financial assets received as collateral under our resale agreements and adjust the collateral amount when appropriate.

 

Financial assets pledged as collateral to counterparties are also recognized in the consolidated financial statements. When the counterparty has the right to sell or repledge such instruments, they are presented in the balance sheet under the appropriate class of financial assets as “Pledged as collateral”.

 

g)FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

In accordance with IAS 39, all financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, shall be recognized in the balance sheet and measured based on the category in which the instrument is classified.

 

Financial assets and liabilities can be classified into the following categories:

 

·Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – held for trading.
·Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – designated at fair value.
·Available-for-sale financial assets.
·Held-to-maturity investments.
·Loans and receivables.
·Financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

The classification depends on the purpose for which financial assets were acquired or financial liabilities were assumed. Management determines the classification of financial instruments at initial recognition.

 

 
 

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classified financial instruments into classes that reflect the nature and characteristics of these financial instruments.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies as loan and receivables the following classes of balance sheet headings: Cash and deposits on demand, Central Bank compulsory deposits, Interbank deposits (Note 2.4 (e)), Securities purchased under agreement to resell (Note 2.4 (f)), Loan operations (Note 2.4 (g) (VI)) and Other financial assets (Note 2.4 (g) (IX)).

 

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized, respectively, on the trade date.

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired or when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership, and such transfer qualifies for derecognition, according to the requirements of IAS 39. Therefore, if the risks and rewards were not substantially transferred, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING evaluates the extent of control in order to determine whether the continuous involvement related to any retained control does not prevent derecognition. Financial liabilities are derecognized when discharged or extinguished.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset against each other and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet solely when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle them on a net basis, or simultaneously realize the asset and settle the liability.

 

I-Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - held for trading

 

These are assets and liabilities acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling them in the short term or when they are part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent history of short-term profit taking. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading except for those designated and effective as hedging instruments. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING discloses derivatives in a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet (see item III below).

 

The financial assets and liabilities included in this category are initially and subsequently recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are directly included in the consolidated statement of income under “Net gain (loss) from financial assets and liabilities”. Interest income and expenses are recognized in “Interest and similar income” and “Interest and similar expense”, respectively.

 

II-Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss – designated at fair value

 

These are assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition (fair value option). This designation cannot be subsequently changed. In accordance with IAS 39, the fair value option can only be applied if it reduces or eliminates an accounting mismatch when the financial instruments are part of a portfolio for which risk is managed and reported to Management based on its fair value or when these instruments consist of hosts and embedded derivatives that shall otherwise be separated.

 

The financial assets and liabilities included in this category are initially and subsequently recognized at fair value. Transaction costs are directly recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are directly included in the consolidated statement of income under “Net gain (loss) from financial assets and liabilities”. Interest income and expenses are recognized in “Income and similar income” and “Interest and similar expense”, respectively.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING designated certain assets at fair value through profit or loss upon their initial recognition, because they are reported to Management and their performance is evaluated daily based on their fair value.

 

 
 

 

III-Derivatives

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. All derivatives are recognized as assets when the fair value is positive, and as liabilities when negative.

 

Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives, when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are accounted for separately at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income in “Net gain (loss) from financial assets and liabilities – Financial assets and liabilities held for trading and derivatives” - except when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING designates these hybrid contracts as a whole as fair value through profit or loss.

 

Derivatives can be designated and qualify as hedging instruments under hedge accounting and, in the event they qualify, depending upon the nature of the hedged item, the method for recognizing gains or losses from changes in fair value will be different. These derivatives, which are used to hedge exposures to risk or modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, and that meet IAS 39 criteria, are recognized as hedge accounting.

 

In accordance with IAS 39, to qualify for hedge accounting, all of the following conditions should be met:

 

·at the inception of the hedge there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge.
·the hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, consistent with the originally documented risk management strategy for that particular hedging relationship.
·for a cash flow hedge, a forecast transaction that is the subject of the hedge must be highly probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect profit or loss.
·the effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured, i.e. the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk and the fair value of the hedging instrument can be reliably measured.
·the hedge is assessed on an ongoing basis and it is determined that the hedge has in fact been highly effective throughout the periods for which the hedge was designated.

 

IAS 39 defines three hedge accounting categories: fair value hedge, cash flow hedge and hedge of net investment in a foreign operations.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses derivatives as hedging instruments under cash flow hedge strategies and hedge of net investments, as detailed in Note 8.

 

Cash flow hedge

 

For derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of derivative gains or losses are recognized in “Other Comprehensive Income – Gains and Losses – Cash Flow Hedge”, and reclassified to income in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects income. The portion of gain or loss on derivatives that represents the ineffective portion or the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized immediately in income. Amounts originally recorded in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified to income are recorded in the corresponding income or expense lines in which the related hedged item is reported.

 

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting and also when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING redesignates a hedge, any cumulative gain or loss existing in other comprehensive income at the time remains in other comprehensive income and is recognized in income when the hedge item is ultimately reconized in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement.

 

 
 

 

Hedge of net investments in foreign operations

 

A hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of the net investment, is accounted for in a manner similar to a cash flow hedge:

 

a) the portion of gain or loss on the hedge instrument determined as effective is recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

b) the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of income.

 

Gains or losses on the hedging instrument related to the effective portion of the hedge which is recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to the income statement upon the disposal of the investment in the foreign operation.

 

IV - Available-for-sale financial assets

 

In accordance with IAS 39, financial assets are classified as available for sale when, in Management’s judgment, they can be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in market conditions, and were not classified into the categories of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held to maturity.

 

Available-for-sale financial assets are initially and subsequently recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, plus transaction costs. Unrealized gains and losses (except losses for impairment, foreign exchange differences, dividends and interest income) are recognized, net of applicable taxes, in other comprehensive income. Interest, including the amortization of premiums and discounts, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Interest and similar income”. The average cost is used to determine the realized gains and losses on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, which are recorded in the consolidated statement of income under “Net gain (loss) from financial assets and liabilities". Dividends on available-for-sale assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as “Dividend Income” when ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is entitled to receive such dividends, and inflows of economic benefits.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is evidence of an impairment, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss. If any impairment evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in income, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a reclassification adjustment from other comprehensive income.

 

Impairment losses recognized in the consolidated statement of income on equity instruments are not reversed through the statement of income. However, if in a subsequent period the fair value of a debt instrument classified as an available-for-sale financial asset increases and such increase can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the loss recognition, such loss is reversed through the statement of income.

 

 
 

 

 

V-Held-to-maturity financial assets

 

In accordance with IAS 39, the financial assets classified into the held-to-maturity category are non-derivative financial assets that Management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity.

 

These assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method (as detailed in item VI below). Interest income, including the amortization of premiums and discounts, is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Interest and similar income”.

 

When there is impairment of held-to-maturity financial assets, the loss is recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount through the use of an allowance account and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the loss was recognized, the previously recognized loss is reversed. The reversal amount is also recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

VI-Loan operations

 

Loan operations are initially recognized at fair value, plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

The effective interest rate approach is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or liability and of allocating the interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that is applied to future payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument that results in an amount equal to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all commissions paid or received between parties to the contract, transaction costs, and all other premiums or discounts.

 

A loan operation is classified as on nonaccrual status if the payment of principal or interest has been in default for 60 days or more. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrual of interest of the loan is discontinued.

 

When a financial asset or group of similar financial assets is impaired and its carrying amount is reduced through an allowance for loan losses, the subsequent interest income is recognized on the reduced carrying amount using the interest rate used to discount the future cash flows for purposes of measuring the allowance for loan losses.

 

The Individuals portfolio consists primarily of vehicle financing to individuals, credit card, personal loans (including mainly consumer finance and overdrafts) and residential mortgage loans. The Corporate portfolio includes loans made to large corporate clients. The Small/ Medium Businesses Portfolio corresponds to loans to a variety of customers from small to medium-sized companies. The Foreign Loans Latin America is substantially comprised of loans granted to individuals in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

 

At a corporate level, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has two groups (independent from the business areas): the credit risk group and the finance group, which are responsible for defining the methodologies used to measure the allowance for loan losses and for performing the corresponding calculations on a recurring basis.

 

 
 

 

The credit risk group and the finance group, at the corporate level, monitor the trends observed in the allowance for loan losses at the portfolio segment level, in addition to establishing an initial understanding of the variables that may trigger changes in the allowance for loan losses, the probability of default or the loss given default.

 

Once the trends have been identified and an initial assessment of the variables has been made at the corporate level, the business areas are responsible for further analyzing these observed trends at a detailed level and for each portfolio by understanding the underlying reasons for the trends observed and deciding whether changes are required in our credit policies.

 

VII - Lease operations (as lessor)

 

When assets are subject to a finance lease, the present value of lease payments is recognized as a receivable in the consolidated balance sheet under “Loan Operations”.

 

Initial direct costs when incurred by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are included in the initial measurement of the lease receivable, reducing the amount of income to be recognized over the lease period. Such initial costs usually include commissions and legal fees.

 

The recognition of interest income reflects a constant return rate on the net investment of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Interest and similar income”.

 

VIII - Allowance for loan losses

 

General

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING periodically assesses whether there is any objective evidence that a receivable or group of receivables is impaired. A receivable or group of receivables is impaired and there is a need for recognizing an impairment loss if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows that can be reliably estimated.

 

The allowance for loan losses is recognized for probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The determination of the level of the allowance rests upon various judgments and assumptions, including current economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan and lease loss experience and evaluation of credit risk related to individual loans. Our process for determining the allowance for loan losses includes Management's judgment and the use of estimates. The adequacy of the allowance is regularly analyzed by Management.

 

The criteria adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING for determining whether there is objective evidence of impairment include the following:

 

default in principal or interest payment.

 

financial difficulties of the debtor and other objective evidence that results in the deterioration of the financial position of the debtor (for example, debt-to-equity ratio, percentage of net sales or other indicators obtained through processes adopted to monitor credit, particularly for retail portfolios).

 

breach of loan clauses or terms.

 

entering into bankruptcy.

 

loss of competitive position of the debtor.

 

The estimated period between the loss event and its identification is defined by Management for each identified portfolio of similar receivables. The periods adopted by Management are of twelve months, considering that the observed period for homogenous receivables portfolios vary, depending upon the specific portfolio, between nine and twelve months. Management determined the period between the loss events and their identification for receivables individually tested for impairment is also twelve months.

 

 
 

 

Assessment

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists for receivables that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for receivables that are not individually significant.

 

To determine the amount of the allowance for individually significant receivables with objective evidence of impairment, it is used methodologies that consider both the quality of the client and the nature of the transaction, including its collateral, to estimate the cash flows expected from these loans.

 

If no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed receivable, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of receivables with similar credit risk characteristics and such group is collectively assessed for impairment. Receivables that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is recognized are not included in the collective assessment. The amount of loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

 

For collectively assessed loans, the calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows for which there is a collateral reflects the historical performance of the foreclosure and recovery of fair value, considering the cash flows that may arise from foreclosure less costs for obtaining and selling that collateral.

 

For the purpose of a collective evaluation of impairment, receivables are grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. The characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for such receivables by being indicative of the debtors’ ability to pay all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the receivables being evaluated. Future cash flows in a group of receivables that are collectively evaluated for purposes of identifying the need for recognizing impairment are estimated on the basis of the contractual cash flows of the group of receivables and the historical loss experience for receivables with similar credit risk characteristics. The historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical period that do not exist currently.

 

For individually significant receivables with no objective evidence of impairment, these loans are classified into certain rating categories based on several qualitative and quantitative factors applied through internally developed models. Considering the size and the different risk characteristics of each contract, the rating category determined according to internal models may be reviewed and modified by our Corporate Credit Committee, the members of which are executives and experts in corporate credit risk. We estimate inherent losses for each rating category considering an internally developed approach for low-default portfolios, that uses our historical experience for building internal models, that are used both to estimate the PD (probability of default) and to estimate the LGD (Loss given default).

 

To determine the amount of the allowance for individually non-significant items loans are segregated into classes considering the underlying risks and characteristics of each group. The allowance for loan losses is determined for each of those classes through a process that considers historical delinquency and loan loss experience over the most recent years.

 

Measurement

 

The methodology used to measure the allowance for loan losses was developed internally by the credit risk and finance areas at the corporate level. In those areas and considering the different characteristics of the portfolios, different areas are responsible for defining the methodology to measure the allowance for each of the portfolio segments: Corporate (including loan operations with objective evidence of impairment and individually significant loan operations but with no objective evidence of impairment), Individuals, Small and Medium Businesses and Foreign Units Latin America. Each of the four portfolio segments responsible for defining the methodology to measure the allowance for loan losses is further divided into groups, including groups that develop the methodology and groups that validate the methodology. A centralized group in the credit risk area is responsible for measuring the allowance on a recurring basis following the methodologies developed and approved for each of the four segments.

 

 
 

 

This methodology is based on two components to determine the amount of the allowance: the probability of default by the client or counterparty (PD), and the potential and expected timing for recovery on defaulted credits (LGD) which are applied to the outstanding balance of the loan. Measurement and assessment of these risk components are part of the process for granting credit and for managing the portfolio. The estimated amounts of PD and LGD are measured based on statistical models that consider a significant number of variables which are different for each class and include, among others, income, equity, past loan experiences, level of indebtedness, economic sectors that affect collectability and other attributes of each counterparty and of the economic environment. These models are updated regularly for changes in economic and business conditions.

 

A model updating process is started when the modeling area identifies that it is not capturing significant effects of the changes in economic conditions, in the performance of the portfolio or when a change is made to the methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses. When a change in the model is made, the model is validated through back-testing, and statistics methods are used to measure its performance through detailed analysis of its documentation, by describing step-by-step how the process is carried out. The models are validated by an area independent from the one developing it, by issuing a technical report on the assumptions used (integrity, consistency, and replicability of the bases) and on the mathematical methodology used. The technical report is subsequently submitted to CTAM (Model assessment technical committee), which is the highest level for approval of model reviews.

 

Considering the different characteristics of the loans in each of the four portfolio segments (Corporate (with no objective evidence of impairment), Individuals, Small and Medium Businesses and Foreign Units Latin America), different areas within the corporate credit risk area are responsible for developing and approving the methodologies for loans in each of those four portfolio segments. Management believes that the fact that different areas focus on each of the four portfolio segments results in increased knowledge, specialization and awareness of the teams as to the factors that are more relevant for each portfolio segment in measuring the loan losses. Also, considering such different characteristics and other factors, different inputs and information are used to estimate the PD and LGD as further detailed below:

 

Corporate (with no objective evidence of impairment) - Factors considered and inputs used are mainly the history of the customer relationship with us, the results of analysis of the costumer’s financial statements and the information obtained through frequent contacts with its officers, aiming at understanding the strategy and the quality of its management. Additionally, industry and macroeconomic factors are also included in the analysis. All those factors (which are both quantitative and qualitative) are used as inputs to the internal model developed to determine the corresponding rating category. This approach is also applied to the corporate credit portfolio outside Brazil.

 

Individuals – Factors considered and inputs used are mainly the history of the customer relationship with us and information available through credit bureaus (negative information).

 

Small/Medium Businesses – Factors considered and inputs used include, in addition to the history of the customer relationship and credit bureau information about the customer’s revenues, industry expertise and information about its shareholders and officers, among others.

 

Foreign Units – Latin America - Considering the relative smaller size of this portfolio and its more recent nature, the models are simpler and use the past due status and an internal rating of the customer as the main factors.

 

 
 

 

Reversal, Write-off and Renegotiation

 

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognized impairment is reversed. The amount of reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Expense for allowance for loan losses”.

 

When a loan is uncollectible, it is written off in the balance sheet under Allowance for loan losses. Loans are written off 360 days after such loans being past due or 540 days of being past due in the case of loans with original maturities over 36 months.

 

Renegotiated loans are not considered to be in default. In subsequent periods, the asset is considered and disclosed as a non-performing loan, when the renegotiated terms are not met.

 

IX-Other financial assets

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING presents these assets, which composition is detailed in Note 19 (a), in the balance sheet initially at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Interest income is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Interest and similar income”.

 

X-Financial liabilities at amortized cost

 

The financial liabilities that are not classified as at fair value through profit or loss are classified into this category and initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense is presented in the consolidated statement of income under “Interest and similar expense”.

 

The following financial liabilities are presented in the Consolidated balance sheet and recognized at amortized cost:

 

·Deposits. (See Note 16);

 

·Securities sold under repurchase agreements (as previously described in item (f) above.

 

·Funds from interbank markets.

 

·Funds from institutional markets.

 

·Liabilities for capitalization plans.

 

·Other financial liabilities. (See Note 19 (b)).

 

h)INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES

 

Unconsolidated companies (the term we use for associates under IAS 38) are those companies in which the investor has significant influence, but does not have control. Significant influence is usually presumed to exist when an interest in voting capital from 20% to 50% is held. Investments in these companies are initially recognized at cost of acquisition and subsequently accounted for on the equity method. Investments in unconsolidated companies include the goodwill identified upon acquisition, net of any cumulative impairment loss.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING share in profits or losses of its unconsolidated companies after acquisition is recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Its share of the changes in the reserves of corresponding stockholders’ equity of its unconsolidated companies is recognized in its own reserves in stockholders’ equity. The cumulative changes after acquisition are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING share of losses of an unconsolidated company is equal or above its interest in the unconsolidated company, including any other receivables, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING does not recognize additional losses, unless it has incurred any obligations or made payments on behalf of the unconsolidated company.

 

 
 

 

Unrealized profits on transactions between ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its unconsolidated companies are eliminated to the extent of the interest of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting policies of unconsolidated companies are consistent with the policies adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

If the interest in the unconsolidated company decreases, but ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING retains significant influence, only the proportional amount of the previously recognized amounts in other comprehensive income is reclassified to income, when appropriate.

 

Gains and losses from dilution arising from investments in unconsolidated companies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 

i)LEASE COMMITMENTS (as lessee)

 

As a lessee, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has finance and operating lease agreements.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING leases certain fixed assets. Leases of fixed assets in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING substantially holds all risks and rewards incidental to the ownership are classified as finance leases. They are capitalized on the commencement date of the leases at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the lease future minimum payments.

 

Each lease installment is allocated part to the liability and part to financial charges, so that a constant rate is obtained for the outstanding debt balance. The corresponding obligations, net of future financial charges, are included in “Other financial liabilities”. The interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income over the lease term, to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Fixed assets acquired through finance lease are depreciated over their useful lives.

 

Expenses of operating leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of income, on a straight-line basis, over the period of the lease.

 

When an operating lease is terminated before the end of the lease term, any payment to be made to the lessor as a penalty is recognized as an expense in the period the termination occurs.

 

j)FIXED ASSETS

 

In accordance with IAS 16 – “Property, Plant and Equipment”, fixed assets are recognized at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation, calculated using the straight-line method and rates based on the estimated useful lives of these assets. Such rates are presented in Note 14.

 

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each year.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING reviews its assets in order to identify whether any indications of impairment exist. If such indications are identified, fixed assets are tested for impairment. In accordance with IAS 36 – “Impairment of assets”, impairment losses are recognized for the difference between the carrying and recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets), in the consolidated statement of income. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified (cash-generating units). The assessment may be made at an individual asset level when the fair value less the cost to sell may be determined reliably. In the period ended December 31, 2011, impairment losses related to fixed assets were recognized due to the results achieved being lower than the expected economic benefits by R$ 15. No impairment losses, on fixed assets were recognized at December 31, 2010 or January 1, 2010.

 

Gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Other income” or “General and administrative expenses”.

 

 
 

 

k)GOODWILL

 

In accordance with IFRS 3 (R) - "Business Combinations", goodwill may arise on an acquisition and represents the excess of the consideration transferred plus non-controlling interest over the net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. Goodwill is not amortized, but its recoverable amount is tested for impairment annually or when there is any indication of impairment, using an approach that involves the identification of cash-generating units and estimates of fair value less cost to sell and/or value in use.

 

As defined in IAS 36, a cash-generating unit is the lowest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination.

 

IAS 36 determines that an impairment loss shall be recognized for a cash-generating unit if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. The loss shall be allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis applied to the carrying amount of each asset. The loss cannot reduce the carrying amount of an asset below the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The impairment loss of goodwill cannot be reversed. At December 31, 2011 and 2010 and January 1, 2010, we did not have any goodwill balance in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Goodwill of unconsolidated companies is reported as part of the investments in the consolidated balance sheet under “Investments in unconsolidated companies, and the impairment test is carried out in relation to the total balance of the investments (including goodwill).

 

l)INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Intangible assets are non-physical assets, including software and other assets, and are initially recognized at cost. Intangible assets are recognized when they arise from legal or contractual rights, their costs can be reliably measured, and in the case of intangible assets not arising from separate acquisitions or business combinations, it is probable that future economic benefits may arise from their use. The balance of intangible assets refers to acquired assets or those internally generated.

 

Intangible assets may have finite or indefinite useful lives. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested periodically in order to identify any impairment.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING semiannually assesses its intangible assets in order to identify whether any indications of impairment exist, as well as any possible reversal of previous impairment losses. If such indications are found, intangible assets are tested for impairment. In accordance with IAS 36, impairment losses are recognized as the difference between the carrying and the recoverable amount of an asset (or group of assets), and recognized in the consolidated statement of income. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For purposes of assessing an impairment, assets are grouped into the minimum level for which cash flows can be identified. The assessment can be made at an individual asset level when the fair value less its cost to sell can be determined reliably.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2011, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognized impairment losses of R$ 30 (R$ 20 at December 31, 2010) related to acquisition of rights to credit payroll and rights for the promotion and offer of financial products and services, caused by rescissions of agreements and results below those projected. As provided for in IAS 38, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING chose the cost model to measure its intangible assets after initial recognition.

 

 
 

 

m)ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

Assets held for sale are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when they are actually repossessed or there is an intention to sell. These assets are initially recorded at their fair value.

 

Subsequent reductions in the carrying value of the asset are recorded as a loss due to decreases in fair value less costs to sell, in the consolidated statement of income under General and administrative expenses. In the case of recovery of the fair value less cost to sell, the recognized losses can be reversed.

 

n)INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

 

There are two components of the provision for income tax and social contribution: current and deferred.

 

Current income tax expense approximates taxes to be paid or recovered for the applicable period. Current assets and liabilities are recorded in the balance sheet under Tax assets – Income tax and social contribution credits and Tax liabilities – current, respectively.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution represented by deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in the financial statements at each year end. The tax benefit of tax loss carryforwards is recognized as an asset. Deferred tax assets are only recognized when it is probable that future taxable income will be available for offset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet under Tax assets – income tax and social contribution – deferred and Tax liabilities – income tax and social contribution - deferred, respectively.

 

Income tax and social contribution expense is recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Income tax and social contribution, except when it refers to items directly recognized in other comprehensive income, such as: deferred tax on fair value measurement of available-for-sale financial assets, and tax on cash flow hedges. Deferred taxes of such items are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently recognized in Income together with the recognition of the gain/loss originally deferred.

 

Changes in tax legislation and rates are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under Income tax and social contribution in the period in which they are enacted. Interest and fines are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under General and administrative expenses. Income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rates shown below, considering the respective taxable bases, based on the current legislation related to each tax, which, in the case of the operations in Brazil, are for all the reporting periods as follows:

 

   12/31/2011 
Income tax   15%
Additional income tax   10%
Social contribution   15%

 

To determine the proper level of provisions for taxes to be maintained for uncertain tax positions, a two-phased approach was applied, according to which a tax benefit is recognized if it is more probable than not that a position can be sustained. The benefit amount is then measured to be the highest tax benefit which probability of realization is over 50%. Interest and fines on income tax and social contribution are treated as General and administrative expenses.

 

 
 

 

o)INSURANCE CONTRACTS AND PRIVATE PENSION

 

IFRS 4 – “Insurance contracts” defines insurance contracts as contracts under which the issuer accepts a significant insurance risk from the counterparty, by agreeing to compensate it if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects it.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its subsidiaries, issues contracts to clients that have insurance risks, financial risks or a combination of both. A contract under which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING accepts significant insurance risks from its clients and agrees to compensate them upon the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event is classified as an insurance contract. The insurance contract may also transfer a financial risk, but is accounted for as an insurance contract, should the insurance risk be significant.

 

Investment contracts are those that transfer a significant financial risk. Financial risk is the risk of a future change in one or more variables, such as interest rate, price of financial assets, price of commodities, foreign exchange rate, index of prices or rates, credit risk rating, credit index or other variable.

 

Investment contracts may be reclassified as insurance contracts after their initial classification should the insurance risk become significant.

 

Investment contracts with discretionary participation features are financial instruments, but they are treated as insurance contracts, as established by IFRS 4.

 

Once the contract is classified as an insurance contract, it remains as such until the end of its life, even if the insurance risk is significantly reduced during such period, unless all rights and obligations are extinguished or expire.

 

Note 29 presents a detailed description of all products classified as insurance contracts.

 

Private pension plans

 

In accordance with IFRS 4, an insurance contract is one that exposes its issuer to a significant insurance risk. An insurance risk is significant only if the insured event could cause an issuer to pay significant additional benefits in any scenario, except for those that do not have commercial substance. Additional benefits refer to amounts that exceed those that would be payable if no insured event occurred.

 

Contracts that contemplate retirement benefits after an accumulation period (known as PGBL, VGBL and FGB) assure, at the commencement date of the contract, the basis for calculating the retirement benefit (mortality table and minimum interest). The contracts specify the annuity fees, and, therefore, the contract transfers the insurance risk to the issuer at the commencement date, and they are classified as insurance contracts.

 

The payment of additional benefits is considered significant in all scenarios with commercial substance, since survival of the beneficiary may exceed the survival estimates in the actuarial table used to define the benefit agreed in the contract. The option of conversion into a fixed amount to be paid for the life of the beneficiary is not available and all contracts give the right to the counterparty to choose a life annuity benefit.

 

Insurance premiums

 

Insurance premiums are recognized over the period of the contracts in proportion to the amount of the insurance coverage. Insurance premiums are recognized as income in the consolidated statement of income.

 

If there is evidence of impairment losses with respect to receivables for insurance premiums, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes a provision, sufficient to cover this loss, based on the risk analysis of realization of insurance premiums receivable with installments overdue for over 60 days.

 

Reinsurance

 

Reinsurance premiums are recognized in income over the same period in which the related insurance premiums are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

 
 

 

In the ordinary course of business, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING reinsures a portion of the risks underwritten, particularly property and casualty risks that exceed the maximum limits of responsibility that we determine to be appropriate for each segment and product (after a study which considers size, experience, specificities and the necessary capital to support these limits). These reinsurance agreements allow the recovery of a portion of the losses from the reinsurer, although they do not release the insurer from the main obligation as direct insurer of the risks contemplated in the reinsurance.

 

Reinsurance assets are valued according to consistent basis of risk assignment contracts, and in the event of losses effectively paid these are revalued after 365 days elapse in relation to the possibility of non-recovery of such losses. In the event of doubt, these assets are reduced based on the provision recognized for credit risk associated to reinsurance.

 

Acquisition costs

 

Acquisition costs include direct and indirect costs related to the origination of insurance. These costs, except for the commissions paid to brokers and others, are expensed directly in income as incurred. Commissions, on the other hand, are deferred and expensed in proportion to the recognition of the premium revenue, i.e. over the period of the corresponding insurance contract.

 

Liabilities

 

Reserves for claims are established based on historical experience, claims in process of payment, estimated amounts of claims incurred but not yet reported and other factors relevant to the required reserve levels. A liability for premium deficiencies is recognized if the estimated amount of premium deficiencies exceeds deferred acquisition costs. Expenses related to recognition of liabilities for insurance contracts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income under, “Change in reserves for insurance and private pension”.

 

Embedded derivatives

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING analyzes all contracts in order to check for any embedded derivatives. In the cases where these derivatives meet the definition of insurance contracts on their own, we do not separate them. We have not identified any embedded derivatives in our insurance contracts, which may be separated or measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 4 requirements.

 

Liability adequacy test

 

IFRS 4 requires that insurance companies analyze the adequacy of their insurance liabilities in each reporting period through a minimum adequacy test. The liability adequacy test for IFRS is conducted by adopting the current actuarial assumptions for future cash flows of all insurance contracts in force on the balance sheet date.

 

As a result of this test, if the assessment shows that the carrying amount of the insurance liabilities (less related deferred acquisition costs of contracts and related intangible assets) is lower than the value of the estimated future cash flows, any identified deficiency (after recording the deferred acquisition costs and intangible assets related to deficit portfolios, in compliance with the accounting policy) will have to be recognized in income for the period. In order to perform the adequacy test, insurance contracts are grouped in portfolios that are broadly subject to similar risks and, for which risks are jointly managed as a single portfolio.

 

The assumptions used to conduct the liability adequacy test are detailed in Note 29.

 

p)CAPITALIZATION PLANS

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells capitalization certificates, in which clients deposit specific amounts, depending on the plan, which are redeemable at the original amount plus interest. Clients enter, during the term of the plan, into raffles of cash prizes.

 

While for regulatory purposes in Brazil they are regulated by the insurance regulator, these plans do not meet the definition of an insurance contract under IFRS 4, and therefore are classified as a financial liability at amortized cost under IAS 39.

 

Revenue from capitalization plans is recognized during the period of the contract and measured as the difference between the amount deposited by the client and the amount that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has to reimburse.

 

 
 

 

 

q)EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is required to make contributions to government social security and labor indemnity plans, in Brazil and in other countries where it operates, which are expensed in the consolidated statement of income as an integral part of “General and administrative expenses”, when incurred. These contributions totaled R$ 1,429 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (R$ 1,415 for the year ended December 31, 2010).

 

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also sponsors defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, accounted for pursuant to IAS 19 – “Employee benefits”.

 

Pension plans - defined benefit plans

 

The liability (or asset, as the case may be) recognized in the consolidated balance sheet with respect to defined benefit plans corresponds to the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuarial company using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated amount of future cash flows of benefit payments based on the Brazilian government securities denominated in reais and with maturity periods similar to the term of the pension plan liabilities.

 

Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognized in income in the period in which they arise under “General and administrative expenses – Retirement plans and post-employment benefits”.

 

The following amounts are recognized in the consolidated statement of income:

 

·The expected return on plan assets, and gains or losses corresponding to the difference between expected and effective.
·Actuarial gains and losses that are defined as those that result from differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred, and include the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions.
·Current service cost – defined as the increase in the present value of obligations resulting from employee service in the current period.
·Past service cost – representing the change in the present value of defined benefit obligations caused by employee service in prior periods, and that affect the current period.
·Interest cost - defined as the increase during the year in the present value of obligations which arises from the passage of time.

 

In accordance with IAS 19, a curtailment is an event that significantly decreases the years of future service by current employees or that eliminates or reduces, for a significant number of employees, the qualification for benefits for all or part of future services. Settlement is a transaction in which an irrevocable action relieves the employer (or plan) of the primary responsibility for a pension or post-retirement benefit, and therefore eliminates significant risks related to the obligation and to the related assets.

 

A gain or loss from the curtailment of a plan is the sum of two elements: (a) the recognition in income of deferred past service cost associated with the years of service that no longer will have to be provided; and (b) the change in the defined benefit obligation. If the curtailment causes the reduction of the defined benefit obligation, the result will be a curtailment gain. If the curtailment causes the increase of the defined benefit obligation, the result will be a curtailment loss.

 

Upon a settlement, a gain or loss will be recognized.

 

 
 

 

Pension plans - defined contribution

 

For defined contribution plans, contributions to plans made by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are recognized as an expense when due.

 

Other post-employment benefit obligations

 

Certain companies merged into ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING over the past few years were sponsors of post-employment healthcare benefit plans, and ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is committed as per the acquisition contracts to maintain such benefits for specific periods. Such benefits are also accounted for in accordance with IAS 19, in a manner similar to defined benefit plans.

 

r)STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Stock based compensation is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2 - “Share-based payment” which requires the entity to measure the value of equity instruments granted, based on their fair value at the option grant date. This cost is recognized during the vesting period of the right to exercise the instruments.

 

The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (notably remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period). The fulfillment of non-market vesting conditions is included in the assumptions about the number of options that are expected to be exercised. At the end of each period, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING revises its estimates for the number of options that are expected to be exercised based on non-market vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of income, with a corresponding adjustment to stockholders’ equity.

 

When the options are exercised, the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING treasury shares are generally delivered to the beneficiaries.

 

The fair value of stock options is estimated by using option pricing models that take into account the exercise price of the option, the current stock price, the risk-free interest rate, the expected volatility of the stock price and the life of the option.

 

All stock-based compensation plans established by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING correspond to plans that can be settled exclusively through the delivery of shares.

 

s)FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

 

In accordance with IAS 39, the issuer of a financial guarantee contract has an obligation and should recognize it initially at its fair value. Subsequently, this obligation should be measured at: (i) the amount initially recognized less accumulated amortization and; (ii) the amount determined pursuant to IAS 37 – “Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets”, whichever is higher.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes the fair value of the guarantees issued in the consolidated balance sheet under “Other liabilities”. Fair value is generally represented by the fee charged to the client for issuing the guarantee. This amount at the issuance date is amortized over the life of the guarantee issued and recognized in the consolidated statement of income under “Banking service fees”.

 

After issuance, if based on the best estimate we conclude that the occurrence of a loss regarding a guarantee issued is probable, and if the loss amount is higher than the initial fair value less cumulative amortization of the guarantee, a provision is recognized for such amount.

 

t)PROVISIONS, CONTINGENCIES ASSETS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

These are assessed, recognized and disclosed in accordance with IAS 37. Contingent assets and contingent liabilities are rights and obligations arising from past events for which materialization depends on future events.

 

Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements, except when the Management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING understands that realization is virtually certain which generally corresponds to lawsuits with favorable rulings in final and unappealable judgments, withdrawal from lawsuits as a result of a payment in settlement or as a result of an agreement to offsett against an existing liability.

 

 
 

 

 

Contingent liabilities mainly arise from administrative proceedings and lawsuits, inherent in the ordinary course of business, filed by third parties, former employees and governmental bodies, in connection with civil, labor, and tax and social security claims.

 

These contingencies are evaluated based on Management’s best estimates, taking into account the opinion of legal counsel when there is a likelihood that financial resources are required to settle the obligations and the amounts can be estimated with reasonable certainty.

 

Contingent losses are classified as:

 

·Probable: in which case liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet under “Provisions”.
·Possible: in which case they are disclosed in the financial statements but no provision is recorded.
·Remote: which require neither a provision nor disclosure.

 

Contingent liabilities recorded under “Provisions” and those disclosed as possible are measured using best estimates through the use of models and criteria which allow their appropriate measurement even if there is uncertainty as to their ultimate timing and amount, and the criteria are detailed in Note 31.

 

The amount of court escrow deposits is updated in accordance with current legislation.

 

Contingent liabilities guaranteed by indemnity clauses provided by third parties, such as in business combinations carried out before the transition date to IFRS, are recognized when a claim is asserted, and a receivable is recognized simultaneously subject to its collectability. For business combinations carried out after the transition date, indemnification assets are recognized at the same time and measured on the same basis as the indemnified item, subject to collectability or contractual limitations on the indemnified amount.

 

u)CAPITAL

 

Common and preferred shares, which are substantially common shares but without voting rights are classified in stockholders’ equity. The additional costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are included in Stockholders’ Equity as a deduction from the proceeds, net of taxes.

 

v)TREASURY SHARES

 

Common and preferred shares repurchased are recorded in stockholders’ equity under “Treasury shares” at their average purchase price.

 

Shares that are subsequently sold, such as those sold to grantees under our stock option plans, are recorded as a reduction in treasury shares, measured at the average price of treasury stock held at such date.

 

The difference between the sale price and the average price of the treasury shares is recorded as a reduction or increase in “Additional paid-in capital”. The cancellation of treasury shares is recorded as a reduction in treasury shares against “Appropriated reserves”, at the average price of treasury shares at the cancellation date.

 

x)DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON CAPITAL

 

Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, stockholders are entitled to a mandatory minimum dividend of 25% of net income for the year as determined in accordance with the corporate law. Minimum dividend amounts established in the bylaws are recorded as liabilities at the end of each year. Any other amount above the mandatory minimum dividend is accounted for as a liability when approved by the stockholders at a Stockholder’s Meeting. Since January 1, 1996, Brazilian companies have been permitted to attribute a tax-deductible nominal interest rate charge on net equity (called interest on capital).

 

Interest on capital is treated for accounting purposes as a dividend, and it is presented as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements. The related tax benefit is recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

 

Dividends have been and continue to be calculated and paid based on the financial statements prepared under BRGAAP and not based on these IFRS financial statements.

 

 
 

 

y)EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to the owners of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING by the weighted average number of common and preferred shares outstanding for each reporting year. Weighted average shares are computed based on the periods for which the shares were outstanding.

 

Earnings per share are presented based on the two types of shares issued by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Both types, common and preferred, participate in dividends on substantially the same basis, except that preferred shares are entitled to a priority non-cumulative minimum annual dividend of R$ 0.022 per share. Earnings per share are computed based on the distributed earnings (dividends and interest on capital) and undistributed earnings of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING after giving effect to the preference indicated above, without regard to whether the earnings will ultimately be fully distributed. Earnings per share amounts have been determined as if all earnings were distributed and computed following the requirements of IAS 33 – “Earnings per share”.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING grants stock-based compensation whose dilutive effect is reflected in diluted earnings per share, with the application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, earnings per share are calculated as if shares under stock-based compensation plans had been issued and as if the assumed proceeds (funds to be received upon exercise of the stock options and the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized) were used to purchase shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

z)REVENUE FROM SERVICES

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING provides a number of services to its clients, such as investment management, credit card services, investment banking services and certain commercial bank services.

 

Services related to current accounts are offered to clients either in the format of packages or individually. These revenues are recognized when such services are provided.

 

Revenue from certain services such as fees from funds management, performance, collection for retail clients, custody and those related to credit cards is recognized over the life of the related contracts on a straight-line basis.

 

The breakdown of the banking service fees is detailed in Note 23.

 

aa)   SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

IFRS 8 – “Operating Segments” requires that operating segments are disclosed consistently with information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is the person or group of persons that allocates resources to the segments and assesses their performance. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING considers that its Board of Directors is the chief operating decision maker.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has four reportable segments: (i) Commercial Bank; (ii) Itaú BBA; (iii) Consumer Credit; and (iv) Corporate and Treasury.

 

Segment information is presented in Note 33.

 

 
 

 

2.5.TRANSITION TO IFRS

 

As mentioned in Note 2.1, the transition to IFRS was made in accordance with IFRS 1 and the transition date chosen was January 1, 2010. As a result, the accounting policies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING for these consolidated financial statements were changed on January 1, 2010, for the purpose of complying with IFRS, from the accounting policies applied for BRGAAP purposes.

 

Changes in accounting policies arising from the transition to IFRS and the reconciliation of the effects of this transition are presented below. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING prepared its opening balance sheet on January 1, 2010 applying the accounting policies, standards and measurement bases described in Note 2.4, and applied the following exemptions and used all mandatory exceptions set forth in IFRS 1.

 

a)Summary of the IFRS 1 voluntary exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied by Management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements

 

a.I)Business combinations, past acquisition of investments in associates and scope of consolidation

 

IFRS 1 permits that business combinations and acquisition of investments in associates that were recognized before the transition date or an earlier date are not restated, retrospectively, by applying IFRS 3 (R). This exemption permits companies that are first-time adopters to maintain the accounting treatment adopted in the prior accounting practices, BRGAAP in this case. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applied this exemption up to August 1, 2009, and, accordingly, it applied IFRS 3 (R) or IAS 28, as appropriate, to account for business combinations or the acquisition of investments in associates after such date.

 

In accordance with the exemption allowed by IFRS 1, the accounting policies used for initial recognition and subsequent measurement of goodwill and intangible assets generated by the acquisitions prior to August 1, 2009 under BRGAAP were maintained. Under BRGAAP, goodwill was fully amortized at the time such acquisitions took place. Intangible assets arising from acquisitions prior to the transition date were not recognized under BRGAAP.

 

IFRS 1 also requires that if ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING had not consolidated a subsidiary acquired under BRGAAP, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of this acquired subsidiary would have to be adjusted in accordance with IFRS. However, in the case of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, there were no significant subsidiaries that had not been consolidated in BRGAAP before the transition to IFRS.

 

a.II)Fair value as deemed cost

 

In accordance with IFRS 1, an entity may, on the transition date to IFRS, measure a fixed asset at its fair value and this amount will be considered the deemed cost of this asset, from such date. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not apply this exemption of IFRS 1. The cost of fixed assets was determined based on the historical cost under BRGAAP and adjusted for inflation for the years when Brazil was considered hyperinflationary in accordance with IAS 29.

 

a.III)Employee benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applied this IFRS 1 exemption, under which all actuarial gains and losses accrued to the transition date, related to defined benefit plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries, were recognized in retained earnings at the transition date.

 

a.IV) Cumulative differences on the translation of balance sheets of foreign subsidiaries and investments in unconsolidated companies

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applied this exemption by which all gains and losses from translation of subsidiaries and investments in unconsolidated companies on the transition date were set to zero. The effects of application of IAS 21 to the translation of these subsidiaries and investments in unconsolidated companies with a functional currency other than Brazilian real will be applied prospectively. These effects are recorded in other comprehensive income and accumulate in a separate reserve in equity only from the transition date.

 

 
 

 

a.V)Compound financial instruments

 

IAS 32 – “Financial Instruments: Presentation” requires that the components of compound financial instruments, as defined by IAS 32, be separated and classified as debt instruments and equity instruments. This classification is made based on circumstances, economic substance and specific terms of these instruments on the date they are issued. IFRS 1 allows a company to not bifurcate these two components, if the debt component is no longer outstanding on the transition date. This exemption did not have any impact on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

a.VI)Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries, unconsolidated companies and joint ventures

 

IFRS 1 recognizes that there may be situations in which the controlling entity of a group and its subsidiaries adopt IFRS on different dates. The IFRS 1 exemption permitted us to use the financial statements of the subsidiaries that made the transition to IFRS before January 1, 2010. On consolidation, the amounts in the IFRS financial statements of subsidiaries and unconsolidated companies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING that had already applied IFRS before January 1, 2010, were used.

 

a.VII) Designation of financial instruments previously recognized

 

IAS 39 permits an entity to designate financial instruments as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or available-for-sale financial assets, on the date of acquisition or issue of the financial instrument. In accordance with this IFRS 1 exemption, the designation may be made on the transition date, even if the instrument has originally been designated in another category. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not apply this exemption permitted by IFRS 1 and it did not change the designation of financial assets existing on the transition date, keeping the designation existing under BRGAAP on January 1, 2010.

 

a.VIII) Share-based payment transactions

 

IFRS 1 encourages, but does not require, that an entity applies IFRS 2 for employee benefits in the form of share-based payment that were granted before November 7, 2002 and also for benefits that were granted after November 7, 2002, but for which vesting conditions had been met before January 1, 2010. On the other hand, if Management decides to apply IFRS 2 retrospectively, it can only do so if the entity has already disclosed the fair value of the relevant share-based instruments, determined on the measurement dates. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applied IFRS 2 for all share-based payments, since it has already disclosed the fair value of these instruments.

 

a.IX) Insurance contracts

 

IFRS 1 permits companies that issue insurance contracts to change certain insurance accounting policies on the transition date to IFRS, provided that some minimum procedures are followed. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING decided not to change its accounting policies for insurance contracts; however, it has applied the minimum requirements of IFRS 4, including the classification of contracts as insurance contracts or investment contracts (as defined by IAS 39 and IFRS 4) and the minimum liability adequacy tests for insurance contracts, as defined by IFRS 4, and further detailed in Note 2.4.(o).

 

a.X)Liabilities arising from decommissioning, restoration of assets and similar liabilities

 

IFRIC 1 - “Changes in Existing Decommissioning, Restoration and Similar Liabilities” requires specific changes in these liabilities. An entity that applies IFRS for the first time does not need to meet these requirements for changes that occurred before the transition date to IFRS. This exemption did not have any impact on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

 
 

 

a.XI) Leases

 

An entity that applies IFRS for the first time may opt to apply the specific transition rules of IFRIC 4 - “Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”, and it may determine if there is a lease agreement on the transition date to IFRS based on the facts and circumstances existing on the transition date. The application of IFRIC 4 did not have any impact on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING on the transition date to IFRS since no contracts that should be accounted for as lease agreements, pursuant to IFRIC 4, have been identified.

 

a.XII) Fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities on the transition date

 

IFRS 1 determines that an entity should apply the specific requirements of IAS 39 for fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities on the transition date to IFRS. IAS 39 requires that valuation techniques of financial assets and liabilities at fair value incorporate all factors that a market participant would consider in setting a price when using consistent and accepted economic methodologies for pricing such financial instruments. Additionally, IAS 39 establishes rules for situations in which an entity may recognize an initial gain or loss when purchasing a financial asset or liability ("day one profit or loss"). As a consequence of this requirement, IAS 39 requires that a gain or loss generated in the initial purchase or subsequent changes in the fair value of a financial instrument be recognized immediately only if the fair value calculation methodology included only data and quotations directly observable in the market on the fair value assessment date.

 

IFRS 1 requires that these criteria be applied on a mandatory and prospective basis to transactions with asset or liability financial instruments entered into after October 25, 2002 or prospectively for transactions entered into after January 1, 2004.

 

a.XIII) Borrowing costs

 

IFRS 1 permits an entity to apply IAS 23 for borrowing costs related to the qualifying assets for which the capitalization initial date is the same or subsequent to the transition (January 1, 2010), or designate a date prior to the transition date and apply IAS 23 to the borrowing costs related to qualifying assets for which the capitalization initial date is the same or subsequent to that date. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not apply this exemption.

 

a.XIV) Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

IFRS 1 requires that an entity that applies IFRS for the first time applies the derecognition standards (asset derecognition, as defined by IAS 39) of financial assets and liabilities prospectively for transactions after January 1, 2004. Accordingly, should ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING have derecognized, pursuant to BRGAAP, a non-derivative financial asset or liability resulting from a transaction before January 1, 2004, it shall not recognize this asset or liability on the transition to IFRS. Additionally, IFRS 1 permits the application of standards of derecognition of financial assets and liabilities retrospectively, from a date elected by the entity, provided that the information needed to apply such standards had already been obtained at the time of the transaction that gave rise to the derecognition. This exemption did not have any impact on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING as no significant financial asset or liability was derecognized under BRGAAP.

 

a.XV) Hedge accounting

 

IAS 39 requires the valuation of all derivative financial instruments at fair value, as well as the elimination of deferred gains or losses, recognized as assets or liabilities under BRGAAP prior to IFRS. Additionally, an entity should not apply hedge accounting (as defined by IAS 39) in its consolidated balance sheet at the transition date if the instrument did not qualify as a hedge in accordance with IAS 39. As a result of this requirement, hedge accounting was not applied for IFRS purposes on the transition date to certain hedge relationships that meet the criteria for hedge accounting in BRGAAP, but that do not meet all requirements of IAS 39 as of such date.

 

 
 

 

a.XVI) Estimates

 

IFRS 1 requires that the estimates used by management for IFRS purposes at the transition date to IFRSs are consistent with estimates made as of the same date under BRGAAP, unless there is evidence of errors in the preparation of the estimates in BRGAAP as compared to IFRS. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING considered that the estimates used for BRGAAP, except for the differences in the methodology for the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, as described in Note 2.3(a), are consistent with those used on the transition date to IFRS. No information regarding the estimates made in accordance with BRGAAP was obtained on a date subsequent to the transition date that should be accounted for under IAS 10.

 

a.XVII) Non-controlling interests

 

IFRS 1 requires that the entity that adopts IFRS for the first time applies certain requirements of IAS 27 prospectively from the transition date. However, these requirements did not have an impact on ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

b)RECONCILIATION BETWEEN BRGAAP AND IFRS APPLICABLE TO THE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY OF ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING AT JANUARY 1 AND DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND TO THE NET INCOME OF ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING FROM JANUARY 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2010

Adoption of IFRS has not changed ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s actual cash flows since under BRGAAP we were already required to apply the Brazilian equivalent of IAS 7, and there are no significant differences in the statement of cash flows prepared under BRGAAP and that presented in these financial statements.

 

 
 

 

Summary of the main differences between BRGAAP and IFRS

 

Below is presented a description of the main accounting practices applicable to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, which differ significantly between BRGAAP and IFRS and are presented in the reconciliations above:

 

b.I)Allowance for loan losses

 

In BRGAAP, the allowance for loan losses is measured considering an analysis of the risk of non-realization of receivables, at an amount considered sufficient to cover expected losses, following the rules established by BACEN. Pursuant to these rules, the allowance is created from the date loans are granted, based on the client’s risk rating and on a periodic quality evaluation of clients and industries, and not only when default actually occurs. Under BRGAAP, the allowance cannot be less than the minimum required by the regulatory authorities, but an additional allowance can be recorded when the minimum allowance is not considered sufficient. At December 31, 2008, considering the economic scenario and the related uncertainties, the criteria for recognition of an allowance for loan losses additional to the required regulatory minimum allowance were revised, including an allowance for risks associated with a more pessimistic scenario. During 2009, there was an improvement in the economic situation, causing a reduction in the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to the loan portfolio. In 2010, a change in the criteria under BRGAAP was adopted which resulted in a reduction in the allowance for loan losses. The criteria were adopted considering new Basel III guidelines (not yet applicable), which require counter-cyclical effects should be considered.

 

IAS 39 determines that the entity should assess, on each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that the loan operation or group of loan operations is impaired. A loan or group of loans is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a consequence of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan (loss event), this event or events impact the future cash flow and it can be reliably estimated.

 

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the loan.

 

Initially, it is necessary to assess, on an individual basis, if there is objective evidence of impairment for exposures that are individually significant, or individually and collectively significant for exposures that are not individually significant. If there is no objective evidence for an exposures individually assessed, be it significant or not, it should be included in a group of exposures with similar characteristics and assessed collectively. The exposures that are individually assessed and for which a loss has been recorded should not be included in the collective assessment.

 

The differences between BRGAAP and IFRS resulted in differing amounts of the allowance for loan losses and, accordingly, an adjustment has been recognized.

 

b.II)Recognition of total deferred tax assets

 

Under Law No. 11,727/2008, the social contribution (CSLL) rate for private insurance, capitalization companies and financial institutions, was increased from 9% to 15%, for taxable events that occurred after May 1, 2008. As a result of a lawsuit claiming unconstitutionality of the increase of the CSLL rate that was filed on June 26, 2008, by the National Confederation of the Financial System (CONSIF), deferred tax assets were recorded under BRGAAP only up to the amount of the increase in tax liabilities and did not considering the increased rate of 15%.

 

IAS 12 prescribes that deferred tax assets should be measured using substantively enacted tax rates. IAS 12 also prescribes that deferred tax assets should be recognized when the generation of future taxable income is probable, allowing the realization of the assets.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognized, in these consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets using the substantively enacted tax rate of 15% for CSLL.

 

 
 

 

b.III)Pension and healthcare plans

 

Up to December 31, 2009, under BRGAAP, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not recognize assets resulting from the difference between the fair value of plan assets and their actuarial liabilities. The measurement basis of plan obligations and plan assets was similar to IFRS. However, differences existed in the criteria for recognizing the funded status when it resulted in a net asset.

 

Actuarial calculations for certain plans of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING resulted in net assets, for which an asset is recognized in accordance with IAS 19. As ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has an economic benefit available through reductions in future contributions, the asset was recognized as of December 31, 2009, measured taking into consideration the asset ceiling, prescribed by IAS 19 and IFRIC 14.

 

As from December 31, 2010, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, pursuant to CVM Resolution No. 600/09, recognizes as assets the difference, when positive, between the fair value of plan assets and actuarial liabilities. CVM Resolution No. 600/09 is equivalent to IAS 19, and, accordingly, this adjustment is no longer necessary as from such date.

 

b.IV) Adjustment to market value of shares

 

For purposes of BRGAAP, shares classified as permanent investments are recognized at historical cost and adjusted only for provision for permanent impairment. Increases in value over acquisition cost are not recognized.

 

Under IFRS, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classified these shares as available-for-sale financial assets, in accordance with IAS 39, and recorded them at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

b.V)Acquisition of interest in unconsolidated company - Porto Seguro Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. (PSIUPAR)

 

Under BRGAAP, there are no specific rules for the recognition of transactions where a subsidiary is exchanged for an unconsolidated company (associate); this kind of transaction is generally recognized at the carrying amount of the subsidiary transferred.

 

Under IFRS, consideration received (an interest in PSIUPAR acquired on November 30, 2009) in connection with the loss of control of a subsidiary is accounted for at fair value.

 

This difference in the basis of our investment in PSIUPAR is adjusted in the reconciliation.

 

b.VI) Provision for Itaú Unibanco merger expenses

 

As a consequence of the acquisition of Unibanco, a provision to cover expenses related to communication to clients, changes in systems and personnel was recognized under BRGAAP, as the amount of the provision could be reasonably estimated.

 

Under IFRS, this provision did not meet at the transition date the requirements of IAS 19 and IAS 37, which are more restrictive than the requirements under BRGAAP and, accordingly, the provision was reversed at the transition date in these consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the provision recorded under BRGAAP was fully utilized.

 

b.VII) Translation of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated companies

 

The process adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING under BRGAAP for the translation of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated companies is similar to the requirements of IAS 21, except that the differences arising from the translation process are recorded in the statement of income. Accordingly, under BRGAAP, there is no specific reserve in stockholders’ equity where cumulative gains or losses arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated companies are recognized.

 

Under IFRS, the differences on translation of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated companies are reported in other comprehensive income.

 

 
 

 

 

b.VIII) Provision for dividends not yet declared

 

Until 2010, in accordance with BRGAAP, the year-end financial statements should recognize a provision for dividends proposed by Management but not yet approved by the stockholders even if proposed dividends exceed the mandatory minimum dividend established in the bylaws.

 

In accordance with IAS 10 - Events After The Balance Sheet Date, if an entity declares dividends after the balance sheet date, it cannot recognize the amount of these dividends as a liability in the year-end financial statements.

 

From May 2011, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, in conformity with Resolution No. 3,973/11, of the Central Bank of Brazil, no longer recognizes a provision (in liabilities) that exceeds the mandatory minimum dividends. The Resolution No. 3,973/11 is equivalent to IAS 10 and, therefore, from this date on, this adjustment is no longer necessary.

 

b.IX) Effective interest rate

 

Under IAS 39, financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost should be recognized using the effective interest method, which consists of recognizing revenues and costs directly attributable to its acquisition, issue or disposal for the term of the operation.

 

b.X)Other adjustments

 

Other differences between IFRS and BRGAAP have been recorded, which are not material either individually or in the aggregate.

 

b.XI) Income tax and social contribution on IFRS adjustments

 

IAS 12 requires the recognition of deferred income tax and social contribution for all taxable or deductible temporary differences, except for deferred taxes arising from the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination, and that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). The adjustments of deferred income tax and social contribution were calculated on IFRS adjustments, when applicable.

NOTE 07 – DERIVATIVES

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING enters into financial derivative instruments with various counterparties to manage its overall exposures and to assist its customers in managing their own exposures.

 

Futures - Interest rate and foreign currency futures contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument at a future date, at a contracted price or yield and may be settled in cash or through delivery. The notional amount represents the face value of the underlying instrument. Commodity futures contracts or financial instruments are commitments to buy or sell commodities (mainly gold, coffee and orange juice), at a future date, at a contracted price, which are settled in cash. The notional amount represents the quantity of such commodities multiplied by the future price at the contract date. Daily cash settlements of price movements are made for all instruments.

 

Forward - Interest forward contracts are agreements to exchange payments on a specified future date, based on a market change in interest rates from trade date to contract settlement date. Foreign exchange forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed price, at an agreed settlement date. Financial instrument forward contracts are commitments to buy or sell a financial instrument on a future date at a contracted price and are settled in cash.

 

Swaps - Interest rate and foreign exchange swap contracts are commitments to settle in cash at a future date or dates, based on differentials between specified financial indices (either two different interest rates in a single currency or two different rates each in a different currency), as applied to a notional principal amount. Swap contracts presented in Other in the table below correspond substantially to inflation rate swap contracts.

 

Options - Option contracts give the purchaser, for a fee, the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell within a limited time a financial instrument including a flow of interests, foreign currencies, commodities, or financial instruments at a contracted price that may also be settled in cash, based on differentials between specific indices.

 

Credit Derivatives – Credit derivatives are instruments with value relating to the credit risk associated to the debt issued by a third party (the reference entity), which permits that one party (the purchaser of the hedge) transfers the risk to the counterparty (the seller of the hedge). The seller of the hedge should make payments as set forth in the contract when the reference entity undergoes a credit event, such as bankruptcy, default or debt restructuring. The seller of the hedge receives a premium for the hedge, but, on the other hand, assumes the risk that the underlying asset referenced in the contract undergoing a credit event, and the seller would have to make the payment to the purchaser of the hedge, which could be the notional amount of the credit derivative.

 

The total value of margins pledged in guarantee for ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING amounted to R$ 7,793 (R$ 8,061 at 12/31/2010 and R$ 12,252 at 01/01/2010) and was basically comprised of government securities.

a) Information on credit derivatives

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING buys and sells credit protection mainly related to securities of the Brazilian government and securities of Brazilian listed companies in order to meet the needs of its customers. When ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells contracts for credit protection, the exposure for a given reference entity may be partially or totally offset by a credit protection purchase contract of another counterparty for the same reference entity or similar entity. The credit derivatives for which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is protection sellers are credit default swaps, total return swaps and credit-linked notes. At December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and January 1, 2010, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING did not have open contracts for credit protection in the form of credit-linked notes.

 

Credit Default Swaps – CDS

 

CDS are credit derivatives in which, upon a credit event related to the reference entity pursuant to the terms of the contract, the protection buyer is entitled to receive, from the protection seller, the amount equivalent to the difference between the face value of the CDS contract and the fair value of the liability on the date the contract was settled, also known as the recovered amount. The protection buyer does not need to hold the debt instrument of the reference entity for it to receive the amounts due pursuant to the CDS contract terms when a credit event occurs.

 

Total Return Swap – TRS

 

TRS is a transaction in which a party swaps the total return of a reference entity or of a basket of assets for regular cash flows, usually interest and a guarantee against capital loss. In a TRS contract, the parties do not transfer the ownership of the assets.

 

The table below presents the portfolio of credit derivatives in which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING sells protection to third parties, by maturity, and the maximum potential of future payments, gross of any guarantees, as well as its classification by instrument, risk and reference entity.

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING assesses the risk of a credit derivative based on the credit ratings attributed to the reference entity, by independent credit rating agencies. Investment grade are those entities for which credit risk is rated as Baa3 or higher, as rated by Moody's, and BBB- or higher, according to the ratings of Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings. The maximum potential loss that may be incurred with the credit derivative is based on the notional amount of the derivative. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes, based on its historical experience, that the amount of the maximum potential loss does not represent the actual level of loss. This is so because, should there be an event of loss, the amount of maximum potential loss should be reduced from the notional amount by the recoverable amount.

 

The credit derivatives sold are not covered by guarantees, and during this period, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has not incurred in any loss related to credit derivative contracts.

 

 
 

 

 

The following table presents the notional amount of purchased credit derivatives whose the underlying amounts are identical to those for which ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING operates as seller of the credit protection:

NOTA 08 – HEDGE ACCOUNTING

 

Hedge accounting varies depending on the nature of the hedged item and of the transaction. Derivatives may qualify as hedging instrument for accounting purposes if they are designated as hedging instruments under fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net investment in foreign operations.

 

To hedge the variability of future cash flows of interest payments, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses DI Futures contracts exchange-traded at BM&FBovespa with respect to certain real-denominated variable-interest liabilities and interest rate swaps with respect to US dollar-denominated redeemable preferred shares issued by one of our subsidiaries.

 

Under a DI Futures contract, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between a normal amount multiplied by the CDI rate and an amount computed and multiplied by a fixed rate. Under interest rate swap, a net payment (receipt) is made for the difference between an amount computed and multiplied by LIBOR and a notional amount and multiplied by a fixed rate.

 

Our cash flow hedge strategies consist of the hedge of the exposure to the variability in cash flows on interest payments that are attributable to changes in interest rates with respect to recognized liabilities.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has applied cash flow hedge strategies as follows:

 

·Hedge of time deposits and repurchase agreements: hedge of the variability in cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the CDI interest rate.
·Hedge of redeemable preferred shares: hedge of the variability in cash flows of interest payments resulting from changes in the LIBOR interest rate.
·Hedge of subordinated certificates of deposit (CDB): hedge of the variability in the cash flow of interest payments resulting from changes in the CDI interest rate.

 

To evaluate the effectiveness and to measure the ineffectiveness of such strategies, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the hypothetical derivative method. The hypothetical derivative method is based on a comparison of the change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative with terms identical to the critical terms of the variable-rate liability, and this change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative is considered a proxy of the present value of the cumulative change in the future cash flow expected for the hedged liability.

 

Hedge relationships were designated in 2008 (subordinated CDB hedge), 2009 (hedge of redeemable preferred shares) and 2010 (hedge of deposits denominated in Brazilian reais and agreements to resell), and related derivatives will mature between 2012 and 2017. Periods in which expected cash flows should be paid and affect the statement of income are as follows:

·Hedge of time deposits and agreements to resell: interest paid/ received daily.
·Hedge of reedeemable preferred shares: interest paid/ received every half year.
·CDB subordinated hedge: interest paid/ received at the end of the operation.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING strategies of net investments in foreign operations consist of a hedge of the exposure in foreign currency arising from the functional currency of the foreign operation, with respect to the functional currency of the head office.

 

To hedge the changes of future cash flows of exchange variation of net investments in foreign operations, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses DDI Futures contracts traded at BM&FBovespa, and Forward contracts or NDF contracts entered into by our subsidiaries abroad.

 

In DDI Futures contracts, the gain (loss) from exchange variation is computed as the difference between two periods of market quotation between the US dollar and Real. In the Forward or NDF contracts, the gain (loss) from exchange variation is computed as the difference between two periods of market quotation between the functional currency and the US dollar.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING applies the hedge of net investment in foreign operations as follows:

 

·To hedge the risk of variation in the investment amount, when measured in Brazilian reais (head office’s functional currency), arising from changes in exchange rates between the functional currency of the investment abroad and the Brazilian real.

 

To evaluate the effectiveness and to measure the ineffectiveness of such strategies, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses the Dollar Offset Method. The Dollar Offset Method is based on a comparison of the change in fair value (cash flow) of the hedge instrument, attributable to changes in exchange rate and gain (loss) arising from the variation in exchange rates, on the amount of investment abroad designated as a hedged item.

 

Hedge relationships were designated in 2011 and the derivatives will mature on the sale of investment abroad, which will be in the period when the cash flows of exchange variation are expected to occur and affect the statement of income.

b)Dividends

 

Stockholders are entitled to an annual mandatory minimum dividend of not less than 25% of adjusted profit, pursuant to the provisions of the Brazilian Corporate Law. Both common and preferred shares participate equally, after common shares have received dividends equal to the annual minimum priority dividend of R$ 0.022 per share to be paid on preferred shares.

 

The calculation of the monthly advance of the mandatory minimum dividend is based on the share position on the last day of the prior month, with payment being made on the first business day of the subsequent month, in the amount of R$ 0.012 per share. The amount per share was determined according to a resolution adopted at the A/ESM held on April 24,2009.

 

Additionally, interest on capital was declared after December 31, 2011, segregated into stockholders' equity in special revenue reserves in the amount of R$ 1,847 - R$ 0.4092 per share, which, net of withholding income tax, totals R$ 1,570 (R$ 1,308 - R$ 0.2879 per share, which, net of withholding income tax, totals R$ 1,112 to December 31,2010).

NOTE 21 – STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

a)Purpose and Guidelines of the Plan

 

The Group has a stock option plan for its executives. This program aims at involving the members of management in the medium and long-term corporate development process, by granting simple stock options or bonus options, that are personal and cannot be pledged or transferred, entitling the holder to subscribe one authorized capital share or, at the discretion of the management, one treasury share which has been acquired for the purpose of reselling.

 

Such options may only be granted in years in which there are sufficient profits to enable the distribution of mandatory dividends to stockholders and at a quantity that does not exceed the limit of 0.5% of the total shares held by the stockholders at the base date of the year-end balance sheet. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING’s Personnel Committee is responsible for defining the quantity, the beneficiaries, the type of option, the life of the option under each series, which may vary between a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years, and the vesting and lookup periods for exercising the options. The executive officers and member of the Board of Directors of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and of its subsidiaries as well as employees may participate in this program, based on assessment of potential and performance.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING settles the benefits under this plan by delivering its own shares, which are held in treasury until the effective exercise of the options by the beneficiaries.

 

b)Characteristics of the Programs

 

I – Simple Options

 

Prior Programs

 

Before the merger, both Itaú and Unibanco each had Stock Option Plans (Prior Programs). The eligible beneficiaries of the program were granted simple options, depending upon individual performance. The exercise price is calculated based on the average prices of preferred shares at the BM&FBOVESPA trading sessions over the period of at least one and at the most three months prior to the option issue date; the price is, subject to a positive or negative adjustment of up to 20%, and restated until the last business day of the month prior to the option exercise date based either on the IGP-M or IPCA, in its absence, based on the index determined by the Committee. Options are no longer granted under this model.

 

Post-merger Program

 

The eligible beneficiaries of the program are granted simple options, depending upon the individual employee performance. The exercise price is calculated based on the average prices of preferred shares at the BM&FBOVESPA in the last three months of the year prior to the grating date or alternatively, subject to the positive or negative adjustments of up to 20% in the period of at least one. The exercise price is adjusted based on the IGPM or, in its absence, based on the index determined by the committee.

 

The vesting period is from one to seven years, as from the issue date.

 

II – Partner options

 

Executives selected to participate in the program may invest a percentage of their bonus to acquire shares or they have the right to receive shares (“Share-Based Instrument”). Title to the shares acquired, as well as the share-based instruments, should be held by the executives for a period from three to five years and they are subject to market fluctuation. At the times they acquire own shares and/or share-based instruments, partner options are granted in accordance with the classification of executives. Vesting periods of partner options or share-based instruments are from 1 to 7 years. Share-based instruments and partner options are converted into shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in the ratio of one preferred share for each instrument after the respective vesting period, with no payment of exercise price in cash.

 

The acquisition price of own shares and Share-Based Instruments is established every six months and is equivalent to the average preferred share quotation at the BM&FBOVESPA trading sessions in the 30 days prior to the determination of said price.

 

Title to the shares received after the vesting period of the Partner Options should be held, without any liens or encumbrances, for periods from five to eight years, as from the acquisition date of the shares.

 

 
 

 

The weighted average of the fair value of share-based instruments on the grant date was estimated for shares purchased in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 – R$ 37.00 per share (R$ 39.90 per share at December 31, 2010).

 

The fair value of Share-Based Instrument is the market price at the grant date for the preferred shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, less the cash price paid by the beneficiaries. The amount received for the purchase of Share-Based Instruments was R$ 48 in 2011 (R$ 62 in 2010).

c)Fair value and economic assumptions for cost recognition

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING recognizes, at the grant date, the fair value of options through the Binomial method for simple options and the Black & Scholes method for bonus options. Economic assumptions used are as follows:

 

Exercise price: for the option exercise price, the exercise price previously agreed-upon at the time the option was issued is adopted, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

 

Price of the underlying asset: the share price of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING (ITUB4) used for calculation is the closing price at BM&FBOVESPA on the calculation base date.

 

Expected dividends the average annual return rate for the last three years, of the dividends, plus interest on capital of the ITUB4 share.

 

Risk-free interest rate: the risk-free rate uses is the IGP-M coupon rate at the expiration date of the option plan.

 

Expected volatility: calculated based on the standard deviation from the history of the last 84 monthly returns of closing prices of the ITUB4 share, released by BM&FBOVESPA, adjusted by the IGP-M variation.

(*) The fair value of bonus options is measured based on the fair value of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING share at the granting date.

 

d)Accounting effects arising from options

 

The exercise of stock options, pursuant to the plan’s regulation, resulted in the sale of preferred shares held in treasury. The accounting entries related to the plan are recorded during the vesting period, at the portion of the fair value of options granted with effect on income, and during the exercise of options, at the amount received from the option exercise price, reflected in stockholders’ equity.

 

The effect on income was R$ 163 (R$ 131 for the year end December 31, 2010), with a correspondence to "Additional Paid-in Capital – Granted Options Recognized".

 

In the stockholders’ equity, the effect was as follows:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010 
Amount received for the sale of shares – exercised options   353    406 
(-) Cost of treasury shares sold   (268)   (403)

(*) The average funding rate, net of tax effects, was used to determine the present value.

 

The projections of future taxable income include estimates related to macroeconomic variables, exchange rates, interest rates, volume of financial operations and services fees and others which can vary in relation to actual data and amounts.

 

Net income in the financial statements is not directly related to taxable income, due to differences between accounting criteria and tax legislation, besides corporate aspects. Accordingly, it is recommended that the trend of the realization of deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences, and tax loss carryforwards should be not used as an indication of future net income.

 

There are no deferred tax assets and liabilities which have not been recognized.

 

 
 

 

NOTE 27 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as shown in the table below for the periods indicated. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing the net income attributable to the stockholders of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING by the average number of shares for the period, and by excluding the number of shares purchased and held as treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share are computed in a similar way, but with the adjustment made in the denominator when assuming the conversion of all shares that may dilute earnings.

NOTE 28 –EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

 

As prescribed in IAS 19, we present the policies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries regarding employee benefits, as well as the accounting procedures adopted:

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and some of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit plans, including variable contribution plans, the basic purpose of which is to provide benefits that, in general, represent a life annuity benefit, and may be converted into survivorship annuities, according to the plan's regulation. They also sponsor defined contribution plans, the benefit of which is calculated based on the accumulated balance of individual accounts at the eligibility date, according to the plan’s regulation, one does not require an actuarial calculation.

 

Employees hired up to July 31, 2002, by Itaú, and up to February 27, 2009, by Unibanco, are beneficiaries of the above-mentioned plans. As regards the employees hired after these dates, they have the option to voluntarily participate in a defined contribution plan (PGBL), managed by Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A.

(2) Variable contribution plan.

(3) Defined contribution plan.

(4) The Itaubanco Defined Contribution Plan was set up as a result of the partial spin-off of the Supplementary retirement plan - PAC, and has been offered to former participants of the latter, which are not receiving supplementary retirement benefits from PAC. The participants who have not joined the Itaubanco Defined Contribution Plan, as well as those contributing to the PAC, will remain in this latter, without any continuity, and will have their vested rights guaranteed. As set forth in the Itaubanco Defined Contribution Plan regulation, the migration period ended on May 8, 2010.

5) Redecard Pension Plan was changed in January 2011 from Defined Benefit - BD to Defined Contribution - CD, with adhesion of 95% of employees. This plan enables the employee to contribute monthly with a defined percentage to be deducted from the monthly compensation and, additionally, the company contributes with 100% of the option chosen by the employees, limited to 9% of their income.

 

 
 

 

b)Defined benefit plans

 

I - Main assumptions used in actuarial valuation of Retirement Plans

 

    12/31/2011   12/31/2010   01/01/2010
             
Discount rate   9.72% p.a.   9.72% p.a.   10.24% p.a.
Expected return rate on assets   11.32% p.a.   12.32% p.a.   12.32% p.a.
Mortality table (1)   AT-2000   AT-2000   AT-2000
Turnover (2)   Itaú Exp. 2008/2010   Itaú Exp. 2003/2004   Itaú Exp. 2003/2004
Future salary growth   7.12% p.a.   7.12% p.a.   7.12% p.a.
Growth of the pension fund and social security benefits   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.
Inflation   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.   4.00% p.a.
Actuarial method (3)   Projected Unit Credit   Projected Unit Credit   Projected Unit Credit

(1) The mortality tables adopted correspond to those disclosed by SOA – Society of Actuaries, the North-American Entity which corresponds to IBA – Brazilian Institute of Actuarial Science, which reflects a 10% increase in the probabilities of survival as compared to the respective basic tables.

The life expectancy in years by the AT-2000 mortality table for participants of 55 years of age is 27 and 31 years for men and women, respectively.

(2) The turnover assumption is based on the effective experience of active participants linked to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, resulting in the average of 2.4 % p.a. based on the 2008/2010 experience.

(3) Using the Projected Unit Credit method, the mathematical reserve is calculated as the current projected benefit amount multiplied by the ratio between the length of service at the assessment date and the length of service that will be reached at the date when the benefit is granted. The cost is determined taking into account the current projected benefit amount distributed over the years that each participant is employed.

 

II –  Management of defined benefit plan assets

 

The management of the funds of the closed-end private pension entities seeks to achieve the long-term balance between pension assets and liabilities by exceeding the actuarial goals.

 

As regards the assets guaranteeing mathematical reserves, management should ensure the payment capacity of benefits in the long-term by avoiding the risk of mismatching assets and liabilities in each pension plan.

 

 
 

 

The allocation of plan assets and the allocation target by type of asset are as follows:

 

   At   % Allocation 
Types  12/31/2011   12/31/2010   01/01/2010   12/31/2011   12/31/2010   01/01/2010   2012 Target 
                             
Fixed income securities   10,341    9,818    12,909    87.85%   87.43%   87.12%   53% to 100% 
Variable income securities   1,051    1,005    1,533    8.93%   8.95%   10.35%   0% to 25%

Total   11,773    11,229    14,817    100.00%   100.00%   100.00%     

 

The defined benefit plan assets include shares of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, its main parent company (ITAÚSA) and of subsidiaries of the latter, with a fair value of R$ 531 (R$ 542 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 1,077 at January 1, 2010) and real estate rented to Group companies, with a fair value of R$ 298 (R$ 309 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 301 at January 1, 2010).

 

The expected income from portfolios of benefit plan assets is based on projections of returns for each of the asset types detailed above. For the fixed-income segment, the interest rates adopted were taken from long-term securities included in the portfolios, and the interest-rates practiced in the market at the balance sheet date. For the variable-income segment, the 12-month expected returns of the market for this segment were adopted. For the real estate segment, the cash inflows of expected rental payments for the following 12 months were adopted. For all segments, the basis adopted was the portfolio positions at the balance sheet date.

 

III- Net amount recognized in the balance sheet

 

We present below the calculation of the net amount recognized in the balance sheet:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010   01/01/2010 
1 - Net assets of the plans   11,773    11,229    14,817 
2 - Actuarial liabilities   (10,413)   (9,871)   (11,233)

(*) Corresponds to the excess of present value of the available economic benefit, in conformity with item 58 of IAS 19.

 

In conformity with the exemption prescribed in IFRS 1, gains and losses accumulated through January 1, 2010 were recognized in retained earnings, net of tax effects, and taking into account the adjustments in subsidiaries. The actuarial gains and losses for the year were recognized in income under “General and administrative expenses”.

(1) Corresponds to the effect of the partial spin-off of the PAC and creation of the Plano Itaubanco CD, which migration process resulted in the curtailment and partial settlement of PAC obligations. The curtailment which implied a reduction in obligations and thus in actuarial liabilities, made on December 31, 2009, is already adjusted in the opening balance (January 1, 2010). At March 31, 2010, the PAC participants who opted for the voluntary migration to the Plano Itaubanco CD had all of their obligations settled by PAC through the initial contribution of the assets previously held by PAC to individual accounts corresponding to the Plano Itaubanco CD. PAC is no longer responsible for any retirement benefit at the PAC level related to these participants. After the partial settlement of PAC, assets were transferred from PAC to Plano Itaubanco CD.

(2) During the fiscal year 2011, a process for migration of participants from Redecard Retirement Plan, structured as a defined benefit plan, to the Redecard Pension Plan, which is structured as a defined contribution plan, was carried out. For those participants who migrated to the Redecard Pension Plan, the accumulation of future benefit is now performed as a defined contribution, and therefore there is no replacement for the same type of benefit.

(3) Gains (losses) recorded in plan assets correspond to the income earned above/below the expected return rate of assets.

(4) The actual return on assets was R$ 1,126 (R$ 2,045 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 2,606 at January 1, 2010).

 

The history of actuarial gains and losses is as follows:             
   12/31/2011   12/31/2010   12/31/2009   12/31/2008   12/31/2007 
Plan net assets   11,773    11,229    14,817    12,493    12,583 
Defined benefit obligation   (10,413)   (9,871)   (11,234)   (11,264)   (9,441)
Surplus   1,360    1,358    3,583    1,229    3,142 
Experience adjustments in plan net assets   (216)   703    1,067    (979)   1,060 
Experience adjustments in defined benefit obligation   (151)   (886)   162    (823)   (186)

 

The amounts for 2007 to 2009, calculated based on the Brazilian standards equivalent to IAS 19, are presented only for change effects, considering that in conformity with the exemption set forth in IFRS 1, assets, liabilities, and gains and losses were recognized at 01/01/2010.

 

 
 

 

 

 

V- Total revenue (expenses) recognized in income for the year

Total expenses recognized for defined benefit plans include the following components:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010 
Cost of current service   (91)   (87)
Interest cost   (930)   (943)
Expected return on the plan assets   1,342    1,342 
Effects of the partial spin-off of PAC   -    (2,437)
Effects of the partial spin-off of Redecard   (1)   - 
Effect on asset ceiling   (154)   1,098 
Gain/(loss) for the year   (367)   (183)
Contributions of participants   9    40 
Total revenue (expenses) recognized in income for the year   (192)   (1,170)

 

During the year, contributions made totaled R$ 42 (R$ 42 from 01/01 to 12/31/2010). The contribution rate increases based on the beneficiary’s salary.

In 2011, contribution to the defined benefit retirement plans sponsored by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is expected to amount to R$ 39.

The estimate for payment of benefits for the next 10 years is as follows:

   Payment 
   estimate 
2012   646 
2013   673 
2014   697 
2015   721 
2016   746 
2017 to 2021   4,119 

 

c)Defined contribution plans

The defined contribution plans have assets relating to sponsors’ contributions not yet included in the participant’s account balance due to loss of eligibility to a plan benefit, as well as by resources from the migration from the defined benefit plans. The fund will be used for future contributions to the individual participants' accounts, according to the rules of the respective benefit plan regulation.

The amount recognized in assets is R$ 1,443 ( R$ 1,169 at 12/31/2010) (Note 19a).

Total revenue recognized for defined contribution plans includes the following components:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010 
Effect of the partial spin-off of PAC   -    1,477 
Contribution   (144)   (111)
Actuarial gain/(loss)   150    256 
Effect on asset ceiling   268    (581)
Total revenue recognized in income for the year   274    1,041 

 

 
 

  

In conformity with the exemption prescribed in IFRS 1, gains and losses accumulated through January 1, 2010 were recognized in retained earnings, net of tax effects, and taking into account the adjustments in subsidiaries. The actuarial gains and losses for the period were recognized in income “General and administrative expenses”.

 

During the year, contributions to the defined contribution plans, including PGBL, totaled R$ 193 (R$ 153 at December 31, 2010), of which R$ 144 (R$ 111 at December 31, 2010) were pension funds.

 

d)Other post-employment benefits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries do not offer other post-employment benefits, except in those cases arising from obligations under the acquisition agreements signed by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, in accordance with the terms and conditions established, in which health plans are totally or partially sponsored for former workers and beneficiaries.

 

I-Changes

 

Based on the report prepared by an independent actuary, the changes in obligations for these other projected benefits and the amounts recognized in the balance sheet, under liabilities, of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are as follows:

  

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010 
At the beginning of the year   (105)   (100)
Interest cost   (10)   (10)
Benefits paid   6    5 
Actuarial (loss)   (11)   - 
At the end of the year   (120)   (105)

 

In conformity with the exemption prescribed in IFRS 1, gains and losses accumulated through January 1, 2010 were recognized in retained earnings, net of tax effects, and taking into account the adjustments in subsidiaries. The actuarial gains and losses for the period were recognized in income as “General and administrative expenses”.

 

The estimate for payment of benefits for the next 10 years is as follows: 

Period  Payment
estimate
 
2012   6 
2013   7 
2014   7 
2015   8 
2016   8 
2017 to 2021   50 

 

II-Assumptions and sensitivity at 1%

 

For calculation of projected benefit obligations in addition to the assumptions for the defined benefit plans (Note 28b I), an 8.16% p.a. increase in medical costs is assumed.

 

Assumptions about medical care cost trends have a significant impact on the amounts recognized in income. A change of one percentage point in the medical care cost rates would have the following effects:

 

   1.0% increase   1.0% decrease 
Effects on service cost and interest cost   2    (1)
Effects on present value of obligation   17    (14)

 

 
 

 

NOTE 29 – INSURANCE CONTRACTS

 

a)Insurance contracts

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its subsidiaries, offers to the market insurance and private pension. Products are offered through insurance brokers (third parties operating in the market and its own brokers), Itaú Unibanco branches and electronic channels, according to their characteristics and regulatory requirements.

 

In all segments, a new product is created when new demands and opportunities arise in the market or from a specific negotiation.

 

The products developed are submitted to a committee, coordinated and controlled by the Governance of Products, in which all flows comprising the operational, commercial, legal, accounting, financial, internal control and technology aspects are analyzed, discussed and approved by the various areas involved.

 

The governance process of product evaluation is regulated by the Corporate Policy on Product and Operations Evaluation, and requires the integration of activities between product and evaluation areas, forming an organized group of activities that aims to add value to customers and to promote competitive differentials.

 

Internal rules provide for and support product evaluation and approval flows, attribution of responsibilities, provisions for carrying out processes, and also maximum and minimum balance limits, contribution, minimum premium and other, which aim at preserving the consistency of the process and product results.

 

There are also policies on underwriting risks in each segment, such as technical actuarial limits per insurance line and coverage, which are controlled systemically or operationally.

 

This product creation process involves the following steps:

 

·Development of the product by managers in order to meet a market demand.

 

·Submission of the detailed product characteristics to Governance.

 

·Parameterization of new products in IT systems with the concomitant evaluation of the need for developing new implementation process.

 

·Launch of the product after authorization from the Product Governance Committee.

 

For private pension products, registration with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) and approval of actuarial technical notes and rules from SUSEP for sales is also required. It is also possible to custom minimum amounts, fund management and entry fees, actuarial table and interest upon negotiation with evaluation of an internal pricing model agreed in a specific contract.

 

There are policies on minimum appropriate balances and contributions to each negotiation. Risk benefits, considered ancillary coverage, follow their own and specific conditions, such as coverage limits, target audience and proof of good health, among others, according to each agreement. In addition, increased risks may excess of loss coverage through reinsurance.

 

Each product has rules according to the channel and segment to which it will be sold. Pricing policies are determined according to internal models, in compliance with the corporate standard pricing model developed by the Risk and Financial Controls Area, in the context of the Governance of product evaluation.

 

The cost management of insurance and private pension products includes the groups of administrative, operating and selling expenses, where administrative expenses based on the recognition by cost centers, are allocated to products and sales channels according to the definition of the respective activities, following the corporate managerial model of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Operating and selling expenses are based on the line for product identification and policy segmentation in order to define the sales channel.

 

 
 

 

b)Main Products

 

I-Insurance

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, through its insurance companies, supplies the market with insurance products with the purpose of assuming risks and restoring the economic balance of the assets of the policyholder if damaged.

 

In this segment, clients are mainly divided into the Individual (Retail, UniClass, Personnalité and Private) and Corporate (Companies, Corporate and Condominium) markets.

 

The contract entered into between the parties aims at protecting the client’s assets. Upon payment of a premium, the policyholder is protected through previously agreed replacement or indemnification clauses for damages. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING insurance companies recognize technical reserves administered by themselves, through specialized areas within the conglomerate, with the objective of indemnifying the policyholder’s loss in the event of claims for insured risks.

 

The insurance risks sold by insurance companies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are divided into property and casualty, and life insurance.

 

·Property and casualty insurance: covers losses, damages or liabilities for assets or persons, excluding from this classification life insurance lines.

 

·Life insurance: include coverage for death and personal accidents.

II-Private pension

 

Developed as a solution to ensure the maintenance of the quality of life of participants, as a supplement to the government pension, through long-term investments, private pension products are divided into three major groups:

 

·PGBL (Plan Generator of Benefits): the main objective of this plan is the accumulation of financial resources, but it can be purchased with additional risk coverage. Recommended for clients that file the full version of income tax return (rather than the simplified pension), because they can deduct contributions paid for tax purposes up to 12% of the annual taxable gross income.

 

·VGBL (Redeemable Life Insurance): this is an insurance structured as a pension plan. Its taxation differs from the PGBL; in this case, the tax basis is the earned income.

 

·FGB (Fund Generator of Benefits): this is a pension plan with minimum income guarantee, and possibility of receiving earnings from asset performance. Once recognized the distribution of earnings at a certain percentage, as established by the FGB policy, it is not at management´s discretion, but instead represent an obligation to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Although there are plans still in existence, they are no longer sold.

c)Technical reserves for insurance and private pension

 

Technical reserves for insurance and private pension are recognized according to the criteria established by the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) Resolution No. 162 of December 26, 2006 and subsequent amendments.

 

I -  Insurance:

 

·Reserve for unearned premiums – recognized based on premiums issued, calculated on a “pro rata” basis, and represents the portion of premium corresponding to the policy period not yet elapsed. The reserve for unearned premiums for risks in force but not yet issued is recognized based on a technical actuarial note, and has the objective of estimating a portion of unearned premiums related to risks assumed by insurance companies and that are for policies that are still in the process of issuance.

 

·Reserve for premium deficiency – recognized according to a technical actuarial note if a premium deficiency is found.

 

·Reserve for unsettled claims - recognized based on claims of loss in an amount sufficient to cover future commitments. In order to determine the amount to be provided for claims awaiting judicial decision, court-appointed experts and legal advisors make assessments based on the insured amounts and technical rules, taking into consideration the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome for the insurance company.

 

·Reserve for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) – recognized for the estimated amount of claims occurred for risks assumed in the portfolio but not yet reported.

 

·Other provisions – recognized based on the technical provision for extension of warranty in the extended warranty line, and the calculation is made over the period from the date the insurance contract becomes effective and the risk initial coverage date, the amount to be recognized being equal to the retained commercial premium.

 

 
 

 

II – Private pension:

 

The mathematical reserves represent amounts of obligations assumed as insurance for benefits, retirement plans, disability, pension and annuity and are calculated according to the method of accounting provided for in the contract.

 

·Mathematical reserves for benefits to be granted and benefits granted – correspond to commitments assumed with participants, but for which benefits are not yet due, and to those receiving the benefits, respectively.

 

·Provision for insufficient contribution – recognized when insufficient premiums or contribution are determined.

 

·Reserve for unexpired risks – recognized to reflect the estimate of risks in force but not expired.

 

·Reserve for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) – recognized based on the estimated amount of claims incurred but not reported.

 

·Reserve for financial surplus – refers to the difference between the contributions adjusted daily by the gains/losses in the investment portfolio and the accumulated fund recorded.

 

·Other reserves – mainly refer to the reserve for administrative expenses recognized according to an actuarial technical note to cover expenses arising from the payment of benefits provided for in the plan, in view of the claims incurred and to be incurred. It also includes the heading Redemptions and/or Other Policy Benefits that refers to amounts not yet paid through the balance sheet date.

d)Deferred acquisition costs

 

Deferred acquisition costs of insurance are direct and indirect costs incurred to sell, underwrite and originate a new insurance contract.

 

Direct costs are basically commissions paid for brokerage services, agency and prospecting efforts and are deferred for amortization in proportion to the recognition of revenue from earned premiums, that is, over the coverage period, for the term of effectiveness of contracts, according to the calculation rules in force.

Balances are recorded under gross reinsurance assets and changes are shown in the table below:

 

   Insurance 
Balance at 01/01/2011   1,649 
Increase   583 
Amortization   (168)
Balance at 12/31/2011   2,064

Variations observed in the estimates of losses occurred in 2010 result mainly from atypical events, with gross amounts frequently higher than the average previously observed. However, as the percentages for reinsurance are high, the net analysis is not affected by this factor. In addition, in view of the high volatility inherent in the analysis of reinsurance gross data, particularly in all risks operations, the analysis of amounts net of reinsurance is recommended.

 

 
 

 

 

f)Liability adequacy test

 

As established in IFRS 4 – “Insurance Contracts”, an insurance company must carry out the Liability Adequacy Test, comparing the amount recognized for its technical reserves with the current estimate of projected cash flow. The estimate should consider all cash flows related to the business, which is the minimum requirement for carrying out the adequacy test.

 

The assumptions used in the test were as follows:

 

a)The risk grouping criteria are based in compliance with the legislation force.

 

b)The relevant structure of risk-free interest rate was obtained from the curve of securities deemed to be credit risk free, available in the Brazilian financial market and determined pursuant to an internal policy.

 

c)The methodology for testing all products is based on the projection of cash flows. Specifically for insurance products, cash flows were projected using the method known as chain-ladder triangle of quarterly frequency.

 

d)Cancellations, partial redemptions, future contributions, conversions into annuity income and administrative expenses are periodically reviewed pursuant to the best practices and analysis of the experience in the subsidiaries. Accordingly, they represent the current best estimates for projections.

 

e)Mortality: biometric tables broken down by gender, adjusted according to life expectancy development (improvement).

 

The liability adequacy test did not show insufficiency in any of presented year-ends.

 

g)Insurance risk – effect of changes on actuarial assumptions

 

Property insurance is a short-lived insurance and the main actuarial assumptions involved in the management and pricing of the associated risks are claims frequency and severity. Volatility above the expected number of claims and amount of claim indemnities may result in unexpected losses.

 

Life insurance and pension plans are, in general, short- or long-lived products and the main risks involved in the business may be classified as biometric risk, financial risk and behavioral risk.

 

Biometric risk relates to: i) more than expected increase in life expectancies for products with survivorship coverage (mostly pension plans); ii) more than expected decrease in mortality rates for products with survivorship coverage (mostly life insurance.)

 

Products offering financial guarantee predetermined under contract involve financial risk inherent to the underwriting risk, with such risk being considered insurance risk.

 

Behavioral risk relates to a more than expected increase in the rates of conversion into annuity income, resulting in increased payments of retirement benefits.

 

The estimated actuarial assumptions are based on the historical evaluation of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, market benchmarks and the experience of the actuaries.

 

 
 

 

Sensitivity analyses were carried out with the amounts of current estimates based on variations of the main actuarial assumptions. The results of LAT (liability adequacy test) sensitivity analysis were as follows:

 

    Impact on the result of LAT
Sensitivity analysis   Gross of reinsurance   Net of reinsurance
         
5% increase in mortality rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
5% decrease in mortality rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
         
10bp increase in risk-free interest rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
10bp decrease in risk-free interest rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
         
5% increase in conversion in income rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
5% decrease in conversion in income rates   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
         
5% increase in claims   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency
5% decrease in claims   Without insufficiency   Without insufficiency

 

h)Risks of insurance and private pension

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has specific committees to define the management of funds from technical reserves for insurance and private pension, issue guidelines for managing these funds with the objective of achieving long-term return and develop evaluation models, risk limits and strategies on allocation of funds to defined financial assets. Such committees are comprised not only of executives and those directly responsible for the business management process, but also of an equal number of professionals that head up or coordinate the commercial and financial areas.

 

Large risks products are distributed by brokers. In the case of the extended warranty product, this is marketed by the retail company that sells the product to the consumer. The DPVAT production results from the participation that the insurance companies of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING have in the Leading Insurance Company of the DPVAT consortium.

 

There is no product concentration in relation to insurance premiums, reducing the concentration risk of products and distribution channels. For large risks products, the strategy of lower retention is adopted, in accordance with certain lines shown below:

Insurance and private pension managers work together with the investment manager to ensure that assets backing long-term products, with guaranteed minimum returns are managed according to the characteristics of the liabilities aiming at actuarial balance and long-term solvency.

 

A detailed mapping of the liabilities of long-term products that result in payment flows of projected future benefits is performed annually. This mapping is carried out in accordance with actuarial assumptions.

 

The investment manager, having this information, uses Asset Liability Management models to determine the best asset portfolio composition that enables the mitigation of risks entailed in this type of product, considering its long-term economic and financial feasibility. The portfolio of backing assets is periodically balanced based on fluctuations in market prices of assets, liquidity needs, and changes in the characteristics of liabilities.

 

 
 

 

k)Market, credit and liquidity risk

 

Market risk

 

Market risk is the possibility of incurring losses due to fluctuations in the market values of positions held by a financial institution, including risks of transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange and interest rates, share values and commodity prices.

 

The market risk limits are structured in accordance with the guidelines established by the Superior Risk Committee (CSRisc), by evaluating the projected results, the amount of stockholders’ equity and the risk profile of each legal entity, and are defined within risk metrics used by management.

 

The market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business areas, which is responsible for daily assessment and also reporting activities.

 

Market risk is analyzed based on the following metrics:

 

·Statistical Value at Risk (VaR - Value at Risk): statistical metric that estimates the expected maximum potential economic loss under normal market conditions, taking into consideration a defined time horizon and confidence level (Note 35).

 

·Losses in Stress Scenarios (Stress Test): simulation technique to assess the behavior of assets and liabilities of a portfolio when various risk factors are subject to extreme market situations (based on prospective scenarios) in the portfolio.

 

·Sensitivity (DV01): in relation to insurance operations, the impact on the cash flows market value when submitted to an one annual basis point increase in the current interest rates.

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING may have insufficient net funds available to honor its current obligations at a given moment. The liquidity risk is managed continuously based on the monitoring of payment flows related to its liabilities vis a vis the inflows generated by its operations and financial assets portfolio. Additionally, according to the principles of prudence and conservative accounting, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has funds invested in short-term assets, available on demand, to cover its regular needs and any liquidity contingencies.

Credit risk

 

For reinsurance operations, the internal policy prohibits excess concentration in only one reinsurer. At present the reinsurer with the largest share of our operations represents less than 37.22% of the total. In addition, we follow the SUSEP rules about reinsurers with which we operate, mainly with respect to “solvency rating, issued by a rating agency”, with the following minimum levels:

 

Rating agency   Minimum required level
Standard & Poor's   BBB-
Fitch   BBB-
Moody´s   Baa3
AM Best   B+

 

 
 

 

l)Reinsurance

 

Expenses and revenue from reinsurance premiums transferred are recognized on accrual basis, with no offset of assets and liabilities related to reinsurance except if there is a contractual provision for the offset of accounts between the parties. Analyses of reinsurance required are made to meet the current needs of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, maintaining the necessary flexibility to comply with changes in management strategy in response to the various scenarios to which it may be exposed.

 

With the approval of Supplementary Law No. 126 of January 15, 2007, the reinsurance market was opened up to competition with the creation of three categories of companies authorized to operate in Brazil: local, admitted and occasional (the two latter being foreign reinsurance companies respectively with, or without, a representative office in Brazil). The transition to the new market was made progressively, maintaining the right of local reinsurance companies to 60% of premiums transferred insurance companies until January 2010; after that period, this percentage may be reduced to 40%. From March 31, 2011, this percentage of 40% must obligatorily be transferred to local reinsurance companies.

 

Reinsurance assets

 

Reinsurance assets represent the estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers in connection with losses incurred. Such assets are recorded based on risk assignment contracts, and for cases of losses effectively paid, they are reassessed after 365 days as to the possibility of impairment, in case of doubts, such assets are reduced by recognizing an allowance for losses on reinsurance.

 

Reinsurance transferred

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING transfers, in the normal course of its businesses, reinsurance premiums to cover losses on underwriting risks to its policyholders and is in compliance with the operational limits established by the regulatory authority. In addition to proportional contracts, non-proportional contracts are also entered into in order to transfer a portion of the responsibility to the reinsurance company for losses that exceed a certain level of losses in the portfolio. Non-proportional reinsurance premiums are included in “other assets - prepaid expenses” and amortized to “other operating expenses” over the effectiveness period of the contract on a daily accrual basis.

m)Regulatory authorities

 

Insurance and private pension operations are regulated by the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and the Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP). These authorities are responsible for regulating the market, and consequently for assisting in the mitigation of risks inherent in the business.

 

The National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) is the regulatory authority of insurance activities in Brazil, created by Decree-Law No. 73, of November 21, 1966. The main attribution of CNSP, at the time of its creation, was to set out the guidelines and rules of government policy on private insurance segments, and with the enactment of Law No. 6,435, of July 15, 1977 (revoked by Supplementary Law No. 109/01), its attributions included private pension of public companies.

 

The Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP) is the authority responsible for controlling and overseeing the insurance, private pension and reinsurance markets. An agency of the Ministry of Finance, it was created by Decree-Law No. 73, of November 21, 1966, which also created the National System of Private Insurance, comprising the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. (IRB Brasil), the companies authorized to have private pension plans and the open-ended private pension companies.

 

n)Capital requirements for insurance activity

 

The National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), following the worldwide trend towards the strengthening of the insurance market,  disclosed on December 6, 2010, CNSP Resolution No. 227 (which revoked Resolutions Nos. 178 of December 28, 2007 and 200 of December 16, 2008), and Circular No. 411 of December 22, 2010. These documents define the rules on the regulatory capital required for authorization and operation of insurance and private pension companies, and rules for the allocation of capital to underwriting risk for the various insurance lines. In January 2011, CNSP Resolution  No. 228  of December 6, 2010, which provides for the criteria for establishment of additional capital based on the credit risk of the supervised companies, came into effect.

 

The adjusted stockholders’ equity of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING companies exclusively engaged in insurance and private pension activities is higher than the required regulatory capital in Itaú Seguros S.A., R$ 2,049 (R$ 1,436 at 12/31/2010, R$ 898 at 01/01/2010) and in Itaú Vida e Previdência S.A., R$ 1,565 (R$ 1,199 at 12/31/2010, R$ 733 at 01/01/2010).

 

 
 

 

NOTE 30 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

In cases where market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions adopted, including the discount rate and estimate of future cash flows. The estimated fair value achieved through these techniques cannot be substantiated by comparison with independent markets and, in many cases, it cannot be realized in the immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

The following table summarizes the carrying and estimated fair values for financial instruments:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010   01/01/2010

(*) These assets and liabilities are recorded in the balance sheet at their fair value.

 

Financial instruments not included in the Balance Sheet (Note 35) are represented by Standby Letters of Credit and Guarantees Provided, which amount recorded in memorandum account totals R$ 51,530(R$38,374 at December 31, 2010 and R$32,431 at January 1, 2010) and estimated fair value of R$ 695(R$537at December 31, 2010 and R$417 at January 1, 2010).

 

The methods and assumptions adopted to estimate the fair value are defined below:

 

a)Cash and Deposits on Demand, Central Bank Compulsory Deposits, Securities Purchased under Agreements to Resell and Other Financial Assets - the carrying amounts for these instruments approximate their fair values.

 

b)Interbank Deposits – ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates the fair values of interbank investments by discounting the estimated cash flows and adopting the market interest rates.

 

c)Financial Assets Held for Trading, including Derivatives (Assets and Liabilities), Financial Assets designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss, Available-for-sale Financial Assets and Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets – under normal conditions, market prices are the best indicators of the fair values of financial instruments. However, not all instruments have liquidity or quoted market prices and, in such cases, the adoption of present value estimates and other pricing techniques are required. The fair values of government securities are determined based on the interest rates provided by third parties in the market and they are validated by comparing them with the information disclosed by ANDIMA. The fair values of corporate debt securities are computed by adopting criteria similar to those applied to interbank deposits, as described above. The fair value of shares are computed based on their prices quoted in the market. The fair values of derivative financial instruments were determined as follows:

 

·Swaps: the cash flows are discounted to present value based on yield curves that reflect the appropriate risk factors. These yield curves may be drawn mainly based on the exchange price of derivatives at BM&F, of Brazilian government securities in the secondary market or derivatives and securities traded abroad. These yield curves may be used to obtain the fair value of currency swaps, interest rate swaps and swaps based on other risk factors (commodities, stock exchange indices, etc.)

 

·Futures and forwards quoted market prices on exchanges or criteria identical to those applied to swaps;

 

·Options: The fair values are determined based on mathematical models (such as Black & Scholes) that are fed with implicit volatility data, interest rate yield curve and fair value of the underlying asset. Current market prices of options are used to compute the implicit volatilities. All these data are obtained from different sources (usually Bloomberg).

 

 
 

 

·Credit Risk: inversely related to the probability of default (allowance for loan losses) in a financial instrument subject to credit risk. The process of adjusting the market price of these spreads is based on the differences between the yield curves with no risk and the yield curves adjusted for credit risk.

 

d)Loan operations and lease operations – the fair value is estimated based on groups of loans with similar financial and risk characteristics, using valuation models. The fair value of fixed-rate loans was determined by discounting estimated cash flows, applying interest rates close to ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING current rates for similar loans. For the majority of loans at floating rate, the carrying amount was considered close to their fair value. The fair value of loan and lease operations not overdue was calculated by discounting the expected payments of principal and interest through maturity, at the aforementioned rates. The fair value of overdue loan and lease transactions was based on the discount of estimated cash flows, using a rate proportional to the risk associated with the estimated cash flows, or on the underlying collateral. The assumptions related to cash flows and discount rates are determined using information available in the market and the borrower’s specific information of the debtor.

 

e)Interest-bearing and non-interest bearing financial liabilities which include: Deposits, Securities Sold under Repurchase Agreements, Financial Liabilities Held for Trading, Interbank and Institutional Market Debt, Liabilities for Capitalization Plans and Other Financial Liabilities

 

And for:

 

·Non-interest bearing deposits - the fair value of demand deposits is equal to the carrying amount.
·Interest-bearing financial liabilities – the fair value of time deposits with a floating rate approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of time deposits at fixed rate was estimated using discounted cash flow, with the adoption of the interest rate offered by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING on the respective balance sheet date. The carrying amount of deposits received under securities repurchase agreements, commercial lines and other short-term loan liabilities are close to the fair value of such instruments. The fair value of other long-term liabilities is estimated using cash flows discounted at the interest rates offered in the market for similar instruments. These interest rates are obtained from different sources (usually Bloomberg), from which the risk-free yield curve and the risk-free spread traded for similar instruments are derived.

 

f)Off-balance sheet financial instruments – the fair value of commitments to grant credit was estimated based on the rates currently charged for similar agreements, considering the remaining term of the agreement and the credit quality of the counterparties. The fair value of standby letters of credit, commercial letters and guarantees was based on commissions currently charged for similar agreements or at the cost estimated to settle the agreements, or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties. The fair value of derivatives includes financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or in other liabilities, as described in Note 2.4.g and presented in Note 7. See Notes 7 and 30 for the notional amount and estimated fair value of our derivative financial instruments.

 

In accordance with IFRS ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING classifies fair value measurements in a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process.

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability being measured occur often enough and with sufficient volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 generally includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or quoted price vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, etc.); (iv) inputs that are mainly derived from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or by other means.

 

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability. Unobservable information shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable information is not available, thus allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

 
 

 

Financial Assets Held for Trading, Available for Sale, and Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss:

 

Level 1: highly-liquid securities with prices available in an active market are classified into Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. This classification level includes most of the Brazilian Government Securities (mainly LTN, LFT, NTN-B, NTN-C and NTN-F), securities of foreign governments, shares and debentures traded on stock exchanges and other securities traded in an active market.

 

Level 2: when the pricing information is not available for a specific security, the assessment is usually based on prices quoted in the market for similar instruments, pricing information obtained for pricing services, such as Bloomberg, Reuters and brokers (only when the prices represent actual transactions) or discounted cash flows, which use information for assets actively traded in an active market. These securities are classified into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are comprised of certain Brazilian government securities, debentures and some government securities quoted in a less-liquid market in relation to those classified into Level 1, and some share prices in investment funds. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING does not hold positions in alternative investment funds or private equity funds.

 

Level 3: when no pricing information in an active market, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses internally developed models, from curves generated according to the proprietary model. Level 3 classification includes some Brazilian government securities (mainly NTN-I, NTN-A1, CRIs and TDA falling due after 2025, and CVS), promissory notes and securities that are not usually traded in an active market.

 

Derivatives:

 

Level 1: derivatives traded on stock exchanges are classified in Level 1 of the hierarchy.

 

Level 2: for derivatives not traded on stock exchanges, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING estimates the fair value by adopting a variety of techniques, such as Black & Scholes, Garman & Kohlhagen, Monte Carlo or even the discounted cash flow models usually adopted in the financial market. Derivatives included in Level 2 are credit default swaps, cross currency swaps, interest rates swaps, plain vanilla options, certain forwards and generally all swaps. All models adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are widely accepted in the financial services industry and reflect all derivative contractual terms. Considering that many of these models do not require a high level of subjectivity, since the methodologies adopted in the models do not require major decisions and information for the model are readily observed in the actively quotation markets, these products were classified in Level 2 of the measurement hierarchy.

 

Level 3: the derivatives with fair values based on non-observable information in an active market were classified into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and are comprised of non-standard options, certain swaps indexed to non-observable information, and swaps with other products, such as swap with option and USD Check, credit derivatives and futures of certain commodities. These operations have their pricing derived from a range of volatility using the basis of historical volatility.

 

All aforementioned valuation methodologies may result in a fair value that may not be an indicative of the net realizable value or future fair values. However, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING believes that all methodologies used are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the adoption of other methodologies or different those used by to estimate fair value may result in different fair value estimates at the balance sheet date.

Derivative financial instruments classified in Level 3 mainly correspond to other derivatives – credit default swaps linked to shares.

 

There were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

There were transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 in view of the extension of curves verified in the market.

 

 
 

 

Sensitivity analyses for Level 3 operations

 

The fair value of financial instruments classified in Level 3 is measured through assessment techniques comprising assumptions not evidenced by current transaction prices in active markets, as explained in item f above. The table below shows the sensitivity of these fair values in scenarios in which it is reasonably likely that changes will occur in the prices of assets, interest rates or in scenarios mixing shocks in prices with shocks in volatility for non-linear assets (volatility arising from lack of alignment between the derivative and underlying asset prices).

Impact on income   (31)   (58)   (2)
Impact on stockholders' equity   (1)   (16)   (32)

 

The following scenarios are used to measure the sensitivity:

 

Interest rate

 

Shocks at 1, 25 and 50 base points (scenarios I, II and III respectively) in the interest curves, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Currencies, Commodities and Ratios

 

Shocks at 5 and 10 percentage points (scenarios I and II respectively) in prices of currencies, commodities and ratios, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Non Linear

 

Scenario I: Combined shocks at 5 percentage points in prices and 25 percentage points in volatility, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

Scenario II: Combined shocks at 10 percentage points in prices and 25 percentage points in volatility, both for increase and decrease, considering the largest losses resulting in each scenario.

 

 
 

 

NOTA 31 – PROVISIONS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

In the ordinary course of its businesses, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is subject to contingencies that may be classified as follows.

 

a) Contingent assets: there are no contingent assets recorded.

 

b) Provisions and contingencies: the criteria to quantify contingencies are appropriate to the specific characteristics of civil, labor and tax litigation, as well as other risks.

 

-Civil lawsuits

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts not considered significant): contingencies are determined on a monthly basis and the expected amount of losses is accrued according to statistical references that take into account the type of lawsuit and the characteristics of the court (Small Claims Court or Regular Court).

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): determined periodically, based on the amount claimed and the likelihood of loss, which, in turn, is estimated according to the factual and legal characteristics related to such lawsuit. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

Contingencies generally arise from revision of contracts and compensation for damages and pain and suffering; most of these lawsuits are filed in the Small Claims Court and therefore limited to 40 minimum monthly wages. ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is also party to specific lawsuits over alleged understated inflation adjustments to savings accounts in connection with economic plans implemented by the Brazilian government.

 

The case law at the Federal Supreme Court is favorable to banks in relation to economic phenomena similar to savings, as in the case of adjustment to time deposits and contracts in general. Additionally, the Federal Supreme Court has recently decided that the term for filing public civil actions over understated inflation is five years. In view of such decision, some of the lawsuits may be dismissed because they were filed after the five-year period.

 

No amount is recognized in the financial statements in relation to civil lawsuits which represent possible losses and which have a total estimated risk of R$ 603; these refer to claims for compensation or collection, the individual amounts of which are not significant and in this total there are no values resulting from interest in joint ventures.

 

 
 

 

-Labor claims

 

Collective lawsuits (related to claims of a similar nature and with individual amounts not considered significant): the expected amount of loss is determined and accrued monthly based on the moving average of payments in relation to lawsuits settled in the last 12 months, plus the average cost of legal fees. These are adjusted for the amounts deposited as guarantee for their execution when realized.

 

Individual lawsuits (related to claims with unusual characteristics or involving significant amounts): determined periodically, based on the amount claimed and the likelihood of loss, which, in turn, is estimated according to the factual and legal characteristics related to such lawsuit. The amounts considered as probable losses are recorded as provisions.

 

Contingencies are related to lawsuits in which alleged labor rights based on labor legislation, such as overtime, salary equalization, reinstatement, transfer allowance, pension plan supplement and other are claimed;

 

There are no off balance sheet contingencies regarding labor claims.

 

-Other risks

 

These are quantified and recorded as provisions mainly based on the evaluation of agribusiness credit transactions with joint obligation and FCVS (salary variations compensation fund) credits transferred to Banco Nacional.

-Tax and social security lawsuits

 

Contingencies are equivalent to the principal amount of taxes involved in tax, administrative or judicial disputes, subject to tax assessment notices, plus interest and, when applicable, fines and charges. The amount is recorded as a provision when it involves a legal liability, regardless of the likelihood of loss, that is, a favorable outcome is dependent upon the recognition of the unconstitutionality of the applicable law in force. In other cases, a provision is set up whenever the loss is considered probable.

(1) ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries adhered to the Program for Cash settlement or Installment Payment of Federal Taxes, established by Law No. 11,941, of May 27, 2009. In the first half of 2010, taxes administered by the Federal Reserve Service of Brazil were included, mainly relating to the increase of the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS, set forth in paragraph 1 of article 3 of Law No. 9,718, of November 27, 1998.

(2) Includes amounts arising from investments in joint ventures of R$ 3.

Closing balance   5,178    4,676 

 

The main discussions related to “Provisions” for tax are described as follows:

 

·PIS and COFINS – Calculation basis – R$ 2,885: we are claiming that those contributions on revenue should be applied only to the revenue from sales of assets and services. The escrow deposit balance totals R$ 1,043;

 

·CSLL – Isonomy – R$ 1,346: the law increased the CSLL rate for financial and insurance companies to 15%, we argue that there is no constitutional support for this measure and, due to the principle of isonomy, we believe we should only pay the regular rate of 9%. The escrow deposit balance totals R$ 231;

 

·IRPJ and CSLL –Taxation of profits earned abroad – R$ 491: we are challenging the calculation basis for these taxes on profits earned abroad and argue that Regulatory Instruction SRF No. 213-02 is not applicable since it goes beyond the text oh the law. The escrow deposit balance totals R$ 491.

 

·PIS – R$ 375 – Principles of anteriority over 90 days and non-retroactivity: we request the rejection of Constitutional Amendments No. 10/96 and No. 17/97 in view of the principles of anteriority and non-retroactivity, seeking authorization to make payment based on Supplementary Law No. 07/70. The corresponding escrow deposit balance totals R$ 129.

 

Contingencies for tax not recognized in the balance sheet - In the accounting records no amount is recognized in relation to tax and social security lawsuits with likelihood of loss possible, which total an estimated risk of R$ 5,930. The main discussions are as follows:

 

·IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS – request for offset dismissed - R$ 1,097: cases in which the liquidity and the offset of credits are discussed.

 

·INSS – Non-compensatory amounts – R$ 632: we defend the non-taxation of these amounts, mainly profit sharing, transportation vouchers and sole bonus.

 

·IRPJ/CSLL - Losses and discounts granted on receipt of credits – R$ 459: we defend that these are necessary operating expenses and deductible as losses on loan operations and discounts upon their renegotiation and recovery, as provided by law.

 

·ISS – Banking Institutions – R$ 450: these are banking operations, the revenue from which cannot be interpreted as compensation per service rendered and/or arise from activities not listed in a Supplementary Law.

 

·IRPJ, CSLL, PIS and COFINS – Usufruct of quotas and shares - R$ 372: we discuss the proper accounting and tax treatment for the amount received due to the onerous recognition of usufruct.

 

·IRPJ, CSLL - Interest on capital - R$ 358: we defend the deductibility of interest on capital declared to stockholders based on the Brazilian long-term interest rate applied to stockholders’ equity for the year and prior years.

 

 
 

 

c)Receivables - Reimbursement of contingencies

 

The receivables balance arising from reimbursements of contingencies totals R$ 626 (R$ 903 at December 31, 2010) (Note 19a), basically represented by the guarantee received in the Banco Banerj S.A. privatization process of 1997, whereby the State of Rio de Janeiro created a fund to guarantee the equity recomposition with respect to civil, labor and tax contingencies.

 

d)Assets pledged as collateral for contingencies

 

Assets pledged as collateral for lawsuits involving contingent liabilities are restricted or deposited as shown below:

 

   12/31/2011   12/31/2010 
Securities (basically Financial Treasury Bills)   1,512    1,516 
Deposits in guarantee   3,233    3,292 

 

In general ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING litigation provisions are long term liabilities considering the time required to conclude legal cases through the court system in Brazil. Due to this fact, we note that it is difficult to make accurate estimates regarding the specific year that a legal case will be concluded, particularly in the earlier stages of a case. For this reason, the ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has not included estimates regarding future settlement date for the most significant provisions resulting from litigation.

 

In the opinion of the legal advisors, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING and its subsidiaries are not parties to any other administrative proceedings or legal lawsuits that could significantly impact the results of their operations.

 

 
 

 

NOTE 32 – REGULATORY CAPITAL

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is subject to regulation by the Central Bank of Brazil which issues rules and instructions regarding currency and credit policies for financial institutions operating in Brazil. The Central Bank also determines minimum capital requirements, fixed assets limits, lending limits, accounting practices and compulsory deposit requirements, and requires banks to comply with regulation based on the Basel Accord as regards to capital adequacy. Furthermore, the National Council of Private Insurance and SUSEP issue regulations on capital requirements which affect our insurance, private pension and capitalization operations.

 

The Basel Accord requires banks to have a ratio of regulatory capital to risk exposure assets of a minimum of 8%. The regulatory capital is basically comprises of two tiers:

 

·Tier I: in general, certain capital, reserves and retained earnings, less certain intangibles.

 

·Tier II: includes, among other items and subject to certain limitations, asset revaluation reserves, general allowance for losses and subordinated debt, and is limited to the amount of Tier I Capital.

 

However, the Basel Accord allows the regulatory authorities of each country to establish their own parameters for regulatory capital composition and to determine the portions exposed to risk. Among the main differences arising from the adoption of own parameter pursuant to the Brazilian legislation are the following: (i) the requirement of a ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets at a minimum of 11%; (ii) certain risk-weighted factors attributed to certain assets and other exposures; (iii) the requirement that banks allocate a portion of their equity to cover operational risks, ranging from 12% to 18% of the average gross income from financial operations. In addition, in accordance with Central Bank rules, banks can calculate compliance with the minimum requirement:

 

·Based on the consolidation of all financial subsidiaries supervised by the Central Bank, including branches and investments abroad, or

 

·Based on full consolidation, considering all companies which are statutorily or operationally controlled by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, regardless of whether they are supervised or not by the Central Bank.

 

Management manages capital with the intention to meet the minimal capital required by the Central Bank of Brazil. During the period we complied with all externally imposed capital requirements to which we are subject.

 

The following table summarizes the rules of regulatory capital, the minimum capital required and the Basel ratio computed in accordance with the Central Bank of Brazil, both on a financial institution consolidation basis and on a full consolidation basis.

NOTE 33 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is a banking institution that offers to its customers a wide range of financial products and services.

 

The four operational and reporting segments of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are: Commercial Bank, Itaú BBA, Consumer Credit, and Corporate and Treasury, which are described below:

 

·Itaú Unibanco – Commercial Bank

 

The Commercial Bank segment provides a broad range of banking services to a diversified client base of individuals and companies, among which are the following: retail clients (individuals and very small companies), high net worth clients, private banking clients, and small and medium-sized companies.

 

The products and services provided by the Commercial Bank include insurance, private pension and capitalization plans, credit cards, asset management and loans, among others. The segment provides solutions specifically developed to meet the needs of clients, devising marketing strategies appropriate to each of the different profiles and using the most convenient distribution channels. Accordingly, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is constantly seeking to increase the number of products provided to clients, diversifying the sources of income. The segment is an important source of funding for the operations and provides significant interest and banking services income.

 

·Itaú Unibanco - Itaú BBA

 

Itaú BBA is the segment responsible for banking operations of large companies and investment banking services. Itaú BBA offers a wide range of products and services to the largest economic groups of Brazil. The management model of Itaú BBA is focused on the development of close relationships with its clients, gaining an in-depth knowledge of their needs and providing customized solutions. The investment banking activities comprise lending to the corporate segment that are funds through fixed and variable income instruments. In addition, it performs activities related to mergers and acquisitions.

 

·Itaú Unibanco – Consumer Credit

 

The Consumer Credit segment is responsible for the development of the strategy of increasing the range of financial products and services beyond the universe of clients who are account holders. Thus the consumer credit segment comprises vehicle financing services provided by units other than the branch network, credit cards to clients who are not account holders, and credit to low income individuals. The business of vehicle financing comprises: new vehicles, used vehicles, heavy vehicles and motorcycles. The credit approval process of vehicle operations is based on scoring models that provides prompt approval of credit proposals for the clients, using the Internet to process these proposals with security and efficiency.

 

·Itaú Unibanco – Corporate and Treasury

 

The Corporate and Treasury segment basically manages the interest income associated with ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING capital surplus, subordinated debt surplus and the net balance of tax credits and debits, as well as the net interest income from the trading of financial assets through proprietary positions (desks), management of currency interest rate gaps, and other risk factors, arbitrage opportunities in the foreign and domestic markets, and mark-to-market of financial assets. In this segment, it is also presented the effect of non-recurring items that are not considered in the managerial statement of income.

 

 
 

 

Basis of presentation of segment information

 

Segment information is prepared based on the reports used by top management to assess the performance and to make decisions regarding the allocation of funds for investment and other purposes.

 

The top management of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses a variety of information for such purposes including financial and non-financial information that are measured on different bases as well as the information prepared based on accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

 

The segment information has been prepared following accounting practices adopted in Brazil modified for the adjustments described below. Financial segment information differs from accounting practices adopted in Brazil because: (i) it includes recognition of the impact related to allocated capital using a proprietary model; (ii) it presents net interest income using certain management criteria. The main impacts are described below:

 

Capital allocation to each segment

 

The book value of stockholders' equity and subordinated debt were replaced by funding at estimated market price, and interest income and expense were allocated to the segments, based on Tier I Capital, following a proprietary model, with surplus capital and subordinated debt being allocated to the Corporate and Treasury segment. The tax effects of payments of interest on capital by each segment have been reversed and reallocated to the segments in amounts proportional to the amount of the Tier I capital. Share of income of unconsolidated companies which are not related to segment and non-controlling interest were allocated to the Corporate and Treasury segment.

 

Net interest income

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING adopts a strategy to manage the foreign exchange risk of subsidiaries outside Brazil in order to economically hedge against impacts on the results arising from variation in exchange rates. In order to achieve this objective, it is used derivative instruments to hedge against such foreign currency risk. Hedge accounting is not applied for those derivatives, they are recorded instead at fair value with gains and losses included in income.

 

The hedging strategy considers all tax effects, either the ones not related to taxes or to the non-deductibility of the exchange variation on the investments abroad, or the gains and losses on derivative financial instruments used. When the parity of the Brazilian Real against foreign currencies is considerable, there is a significant impact on interest income and expense.

 

As a result of the above, it is adopted a managerial statement of income to report segment information. The managerial statement of income is prepared by making reclassifications to the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. Tax effects of the hedge of these investments abroad, which are presented in tax expenses (PIS and COFINS) and income tax and social contribution expense were reclassified for the segment information.

 

Additionally, the managerial financial margin includes, for each operation, allocation of its opportunity cost.

 

In the adjustments and reclassifications column, it is presented the effects of the differences between the accounting principles followed for the presentation of segment information, which are substantially in line with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, except as described above, and the policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements according to IFRS.

NOTE 35 – MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

 

Credit Risk

 

Credit risk is defined as the possibility of incurring financial losses in connection with: (i) the breach by the borrower or counterparty of their respective financial obligations under agreed conditions, (ii) the loss of value of a financial asset as result of the downgrade of the counterparty’s risk rating, (iii) the reduction in gains or income, concessions given on renegotiation of the financial assets and (iv) the costs of recovery.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING manages credit risk with the objective of maximizing the risk and return ratio of its assets, maintaining the credit portfolio quality at levels appropriate to each market segment in which it operates. The strategy is aimed at creating value for stockholders greater than the minimum risk-adjusted return.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING establishes its credit policies based on internal and external factors. Among the internal factors, we highlight the client rating criteria, analysis of evolution of the portfolios, observed levels of default, actual rates of return rates, the quality of the portfolio and allocated economic capital. External factors are related to the economic environment in Brazil and abroad, including factors such as market share, interest rates, market default indicators, inflation, and increase (or decrease) in levels of consumer spending.

 

The process for making decisions and establishing the credit policy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is designed to achieve coordinated credit actions and optimization of business opportunities, through a structure of committees and commissions. With respect to retail lending, decisions about granting and managing the credit portfolio are made based on scoring models that are continuously monitored. With respect to wholesale lending, several committees are subordinated to the Management Committee responsible for credit risk management through a structure of levels of approval that ensures detailed analysis of the risk of the transaction, as well as provides the necessary timeliness and flexibility for the approval process.

 

1.Credit risk measurement

 

1.1Loans to customers and interbank deposits

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING takes into account three components to quantify the credit risk: the probability of default by the client or counterparty (PD), the estimated exposure in the event of default (EAD), and the potential for recovery on defaulted credits (LGD). Measurement and assessment of these risk components is part of the process for granting credit and for managing the portfolio.

 

The credit risk rating of customers and of economic groups reflect their probability of default, and is a fundamental element in the process for measuring risk, because it is used to determine the credit limits. The following table shows the relationship between the risk levels of the internal models (Strong, Satisfactory, Higher Risk, Impairment) of the Group and the probability of default associated with each of these levels.

 

Internal Rating   PD
Strong   Lower than 4.44%
Satisfactory   From 4.44% up to 25.95%
Higher Risk   Higher than 25.95%
Impairment   Corporate operations with PD higher than 31.84%
  Operations past due for over 90 days
  Renegotiated operations past due for over 60 days

 

The credit rating in corporate transactions is based on information such as economic and financial condition of the potential borrower, its cash-generating capabilities, the economic group to which it belongs, the current and prospective situation of the economic sector in which it operates, the collateral offered and the use of proceeds.

 

With respect to retail transactions (individuals and small and medium businesses), the rating is assigned based on statistical models of credit and behavior scoring in line with the Basel Committee requirements. Occasionally, an individual analysis of specific cases may be performed, in which case credit approval follows the applicable approval levels.

 

 
 

 

1.2Government securities and other debt instruments

 

Government securities and other debt instruments are classified according to their credit quality with the purpose of managing the credit risk exposures.

 

2.Control risk limits

 

Itaú Unibanco Holding maintains control of credit risk on a centralized basis, whereas credit risk is managed on a decentralized basis by each business unit.

 

The centralized management of portfolios is maintained by an independent executive area responsible for controlling credit risk, which uses risk and performance indicators to analyze the credit portfolio on an aggregate basis, by business line, segment, product and other variables that it deems relevant.

 

This process aims at aligning the strategies established by the organization considering changes in the credit scenario.

 

The decentralized management of portfólios, focused on management, is performed by all credit áreas of the business units, which assess the portfólios on a detailed level.

 

The group strictly controls the credit exposure of clients and counterparties, taking action to address situations in which the actual exposure exceeds the desired one. For that purpose, the loan contracts include provisions in certain circumstances such as right to demand early payment or requirement of additional collateral.

 

3.Collaterals and policies for mitigating credit risk

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING manages collateral in order to reduce the amount of losses on transactions that present credit risk. Collaterals are used in order to enhance the potential for credit recovery in the event of default and not to reduce the exposure from clients or counterparties.

 

Collaterals are an important credit risk management tool, and for this reason, they are only accepted when they meet the criteria established by the Group.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING ensures that any collateral kept is sufficient, legally valid (effective), enforceable and periodically reassessed.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING also uses credit derivatives, such as single name CDS, to mitigate the risk of its portfolios of loans and securities; these instruments are priced based on models that use the fair value of market inputs, such as credit spreads, recovery rates, correlations and interest rates.

 

Commitments to grant credit (e.g. overdraft limits, pre-approved limits, commitments to grant credit, standby letters of credit, and other guarantees) represent undrawn amounts of loans available. The maximum exposure, considering the total utilization of the limits, is shown in the table below. The limits are continually monitored and changed according to customer behavior. Thus, the potential loss values represent a fraction of the amount available.

 

4.Policy on the recognition of the allowance for loan losses

 

The policies for recognition of the allowance for loan losses adopted by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are aligned with the guidelines of IFRS and the Basel Accord. As a result, an allowance for loan losses is recognized as from moment when there are indications of the impairment of the portfolio and take into account a horizon of loss appropriate for each type of transaction. We consider as impaired loans overdue for more than 90 days, renegotiated loans overdue more than 60 days and corporate loans below a specific internal rating. Loans are written-down 360 days after such loans become past due or 540 days of being past due in the case of loans with original maturities over 36 months.

The contractual amounts of endorsements and sureties and letters of credit represent the maximum potential of credit risk in the event the counterparty does not meet the terms of the agreement. The vast majority of commitments (real estate loans, overdraft accounts, credit card and other pré-approved limits) mature without being drawn, since they are renewed monthly and we have the power to cancel them at any time. As a result, the total contractual amount does not represent our effective future exposure to credit risk or the liquidity needs arising from such commitments.

 

As shown in the table, the most significant exposures correspond to loan operations, financial assets held for trading and securities purchased under agreements to resell, in addition to sureties, endorsements and other commitments..

 

The maximum exposure to the quality of the financial assets presented highlights that:

 

·78% of total loan operations and other financial assets exposure (Tables 6.1 and 6.1.2) are categorized as low probability of default in accordance with our internal rating, further more.

 

·only 7.3% of the total loans exposure (Table 6.1) is represented by overdue credits not impaired.

 

·5.4% of the total loans exposure (Table 6.1) corresponds to overdue loans impaired.

The difference between the total loan portfolio and the collateralized loan portfolio is generated by noncollateralized loans amounting to R$ 73,983 as of 12/31/2011 (R$ 84,152 as of 12/31/2010 and R$ 64,614 as of 01/01/2010).

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses collateral to reduce the occurrence of losses in operations with credit risk, manages and regularly reviews its collateral with the objective that collateral held is sufficient, legally exercisable (effective) and feasible. Thus, collateral is used to maximize the recuperability potential of impaired loans and not to reduce the exposure value of customers and counterparties.

 

Loans to individuals

Personal Loans - This category of credit products usually requires collaterals, focusing on endorsements and sureties.

Vehicles - For this type of operation clientes assets server as collateral, which is also the leased assets in leasing operations.

Mortgage Loans - Buildings themselves are given in guarantee.

 

Companies - For those operations it can be used any collateral within the credit policy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING (Chattel Mortgage, Assignment Trust, Surety/debtor outreach, Mortgage and others).

 

Argentina/Chile/Uruguay/Paraguay - For those operations it can be used any collateral within the credit policy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING (Chattel Mortgage, Assignment Trust, Surety/debtor outresch, Mortgage and others).

 

 
 

 

7. Renegotiated loan operations

 

Renegotiation activities include agreements for changes in maturities, payment schedules and deferral of payments. After the restructuring, the client status (previously overdue) is no longer considered to be past due and is rated (considering all available information including the renegotiation) in the appropriate rating category. Renegotiated credit operations that would otherwise be overdue totaled R$ 14,570 (R$ 9,032 at December 31, 2010 and R$ 7,669 at January 1, 2010).

 

8. Repossessed assets

 

Repossessed assets are recognized as assets when possession is effectively obtained.

 

Assets received from the foreclosure of loans, including real estate, are initially recorded at the lower of: (i) the fair value of the asset less the estimated selling expenses, and (ii) the carrying amount of the loan.

 

Further impairment of assets is recorded as a provision, with a corresponding charge to income. The maintenance costs of these assets are expensed as incurred.

 

The policy for sales of these assets (assets not for use) includes periodic auctions that are announced in advance and considers that the assets cannot be held for more than one year as stipulated by the BACEN. This period may be extended at the discretion of BACEN.

Market risk

 

Market risk is the possibility of losses resulting from fluctuations in the market values of positions held by a financial institution, including risks of transactions subject to variations in foreign exchange and interest rates, share and commodity prices.

 

Market risk management is the process through which the institution plans, monitors and controls risks arising from changes in market prices of financial instruments, aiming at maximizing the risk-return ratio through adequate limit structure, models and management tools.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING uses proprietary systems to measure the consolidated market risk. The processing of these systems basically takes place in São Paulo, in an access-controlled, of high availability, environment, with data safekeeping and recovery processes, and counts on such an infrastructure to ensure the continuity of business in contingency (disaster recovery) situations. The use of market solutions is currently in analysis to supplement the risk technology architecture as part of the evolutionary process that will meet any future regulatory and managerial requirements.

 

The market risk control exercised by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING includes all financial instruments of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, its market risk management policy is in line with the principles of CMN Resolution No. 3,464, of June 26, 2007, comprising a set of principles that drive the institution’s strategy of control and management of market risks in all business units and legal entities of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

The guidelines set forth by the internal policy on market risk management may be viewed on the website www.itau-unibanco.com.br/ri, in the section Corporate Governance/Rules and Policies/Public Access Report - Market Risk.

 

The strategy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING is based on the comprehensive and complementary use of methods, as well as quantitative tools to estimate, monitor and manage risks, based on the best market practices.

 

In this context, the risk management strategy of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING aims at achieving a balance between business objectives, considering the following:

 

·Political, economic and market context.
·Market risk portfolio of the institution.
·Expertise to operate in specific markets.

 

The market risk is controlled by an area independent from the business areas, which is responsible for carrying out daily measurement, assessment and reporting activities through control units operating in the different legal entities OF ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING. Moreover, it also carries out the consolidated monitoring, assessment and reporting of market risk information, including possible exceeding risk limits, by reporting any such event to the business unit in charge and following up the actions required for adjusting the position and/or risk level. For that purpose, the bank has a structured reporting and information process, with the objective of providing input for the follow-up by senior-level committees and complying with the requirements of Brazilian and foreign regulatory agencies.

 

The market risk control and management process is periodically reviewed with the purpose of keeping the process aligned with best market practices and complying with continuous improvement processes at ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING.

 

According to the criteria for classification of operations provided for in BACEN Resolution No. 3,464 of June 26, 2007, and Circular No. 3,354, of June 27, 2007, and the New Capital Accord – Basel II, the financial instruments, including all transactions with derivatives, are segmented into Trading and Banking portfolios. Market risk measurement is performed observing this segmentation.

 

The trading portfolio consists of all transactions, including derivatives, which are entered into with the intention of trading or hedging other financial instruments of this portfolio, and which are not subject to trading restrictions. These are transactions expected to benefit from changes in expected or actual prices in the short term, or for entering into arbitrage activities.

 

The banking portfolio consists of all transactions not classified in the trading book. These are transactions not intended for trading in the short term and their respective hedges, as well as transactions entered into for the active management of financial risks that may or may not be carried out with derivatives.

 

 
 

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING hedges transactions with clients and proprietary positions, including foreign investments, aiming at mitigating risks arising from fluctuations in significant market factors and adjusting the transactions into the current exposure limits. Derivatives are the most frequently used instruments for these hedges. When these transactions are designated for as hedge accounting, specific supporting documentation is prepared, including the continuous review of the hedge effectiveness and other changes in the accounting process (retrospective and prospective) and other changes in the accounting process, as defined by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING internal policies.

 

The exposures to market risks of products, including derivatives, are broken down into risk factors. A risk factor refers to a market benchmark whose change results in an impact on income, and the main risk factors measured by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING are:

 

·Interest rates risk: risk of financial losses on operations subject to changes in interest rates, including the following:
-Fixed rates in Brazilian reais.
-Rates of interest rate coupon.
·Foreign exchange linked interest rate: risk of losses on positions in operations subject to foreign currency coupon rate.
·Foreign exchange: risk of losses on positions in foreign currency in operations subject to foreign exchange variation.
·Price indices: risk of financial losses on operations subject to changes in price index coupon rates.
·Shares: risk of loss on transactions subject to changes in share prices.

 

The process for managing market risks of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING occurs within the governance and hierarchy of committees and limits approved specifically for this purpose, and that covers from the monitoring of aggregate indicators of risk, to the monitoring of granular limits, assuring effectiveness and coverage of control. These limits are dimensioned considering the projected results of the balance sheet, the level of equity and the profile of risk of each legal entity, which are defined in terms of risk measures used by management. Limits are monitored daily and excesses are reported and discussed in the corresponding committees.

 

In this last quarter, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING improved its structure to control market risk limits, by making it more detailed and aligned with the business structure, segregating metrics into risk factors groups, according to the business areas. This new limit control structure aims at:

 

·providing more assurance to all executive levels that the assumption of market risks is in line with the bank’s and the risk-return objective, by conducting an organized and educated dialogue on the risk profile and its development.
·increasing transparency on the way the business seeks the optimization of results.
·providing early warning mechanisms in order to make the effective risk management easier, without jeopardizing the business purposes.
·avoiding risk concentration.

 

In this control structure, the limits, now even more detailed, are monitored and the limit reached warning trigger decision-making discussions on positions.

 

Market risk is analyzed based on the following metrics:

 

·Statistical value at risk (VaR - Value at Risk): statistical metric that estimates the expected maximum potential economic loss under normal market conditions, taking into consideration a defined time horizon and confidence level; Aplied to the risk factors group.
·Losses in stress scenarios (Stress Test): simulation technique to assess the behavior of assets and liabilities of a portfolio when several risk factors are taken to extreme market situations (based in prospective scenarios) in the portfolio.
·Stop loss alert: effective losses added to the potential maximum loss in optimistic and pessimistic scenarios.
·Unrealized result analysis (RaR): assessment of the difference between the accrued interest amount and the fair value, in normal and stress scenarios, reflecting the accounting asymmetries. It is the risk measure used to evaluate the banking portfolio risk at management level.
·Earnings at Risk (EaR): a measure quantifying the impact on earnings in the balance sheet in adverse situations of changes in interest rates.

 

 
 

 

In addition to the risk measures, sensitivity and loss control measures are also analyzed. They include:

 

·Gap analysis: accumulated exposure, by risk factor, of cash flows expressed at market value, allocated at the maturity dates.
·Sensitivity (DV01- Discount Value): the impact on the cash flows market value when submitted to an one annual basis point increase in the current interest rates; Applied to the risk factors group.
·Sensitivity to the Several Risk Factors (Gregas) – partial derivatives of an options portfolio in relation to the underlying asset price, implicit volatility, interest rate and timing.
·Stop loss: the maximum loss that transactions classified in the trading book may reach.

 

VaR - Consolidated ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING

 

The internal VaR model used by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING considers a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence level. Volatilities and correlations are estimated based on a methodology that give greater weight to the most recent information.

 

The Consolidated Global VaR table provides an analysis of the exposure to market risk of ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING portfolios, as of its foreign subsidiaries (Banco Itaú BBA International S.A., Banco Itaú Argentina S.A., Banco Itaú Chile S.A., Banco Itaú Uruguay S.A. and Banco Itaú Paraguay S.A.); by showing where the largest concentrations of market risk are found.

 

The consolidated ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING, maintaining its conservative management and portfolio diversification, continued with its policy of operating within low limits in relation to its capital.

 

In this period, the average global VaR was R$ 142.0 million or 0.19% of total stockholders’ equity (throughout 2010 it was R$ 109,4 million or 0.16%).

Interest rate

 

Management of interest rate risk is performed based on mark-to-market amounts at maturity of several products, grouping them by common dates, calculating the sensitivity to interst rates and applying shocks in the interest rates. The table on the position of accounts subject to interest rate risk shows a different view, grouping them by products, book value of accounts distributed by maturity. This table is not used directly to manage interest rate risks; it is mostly used to enable the assessment of mismatchings between accounts and products associated thereto and to identify possible risk concentration.

 

The following table sets forth our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and therefore does not reflect interest rate gap positions that may exist as of any given date. In addition, variations in interest rate sensitivity may exist within the repricing periods presented due to differing repricing dates within the period

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is defined as the existence of imbalances between marketable assets and liabilities due – “mismatching” between payments and receipts - which may affect the institution’s payment capacity, taking into consideration the different currencies and payment terms and the respective rights and obligations.

 

Policies and procedures

 

Management of liquidity risk seeks to adopt best practices to avoid having insufficient cash available and to avoid difficulties in meeting obligations as they fall due.

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has a structure dedicated to improve the monitoring, control and analysis, through models of projections of the variables that affect cash flows and the level of reserves in local and foreign currencies.

 

Additionally, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING establishes guidelines and limits. Compliance with these guidelines and limits is periodically analyzed in technical committees, and their purpose is to provide an additional safety margin to the minimum projected needs. The liquidity management policies and the respective limits are established based on prospective scenarios periodically reviewed and on the definitions of the top management.

 

These scenarios may be reviewed as necessary, considering the cash requirements, due to atypical market situations or arising from strategic decisions.

 

In compliance with the requirements of BACEN Resolution 2,804/00 and Circular 3,393/08 of the Central Bank of Brazil, a Statement of Liquidity Risk is sent monthly to the Central Bank, and periodically the following items are sent to top management for monitoring and support to the decision-making process:

 

·Different scenarios projected for changes in liquidity.
·Contingency plans for crisis situations.
·Reports and charts that describe the risk positions.
·Assessment of funding costs and alternative sources of funding.
·Monitoring of changes in funding through a constant control over sources of funding, considering the type of investor and maturities, among other factors.

 

Primary sources of funding

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING has different sources of funding, of which a significant portion is from the retail segment. Total funding from clients reached R$ 448.1 billion reais in 2011, particularly funding from time deposits. A considerable portion of these funds – 30.2% of total, or R$ 135.5 billion – is available on demand to the client. However, the historical behavior of the accumulated balance of the two largest items in this group – demand and savings deposits - is relatively consistent with the balances increasing over time and inflows exceeding outflows for monthly average amounts.

Control over liquidity

 

ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING manages its liquidity reserves based on estimates of funds that will be available for investment, considering the continuity of business in normal conditions.

 

During 2011, ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING maintained appropriate levels of liquidity in Brazil and abroad. Liquid assets (cash and deposits on demand, funded positions of securities purchased under agreements to resell and government securities available) totaled R$ 80.8 billion and accounted for 59.6% of the short-term redeemable obligations, 18.0% of total funding, and 15.4% of total assets.

 

The table below shows the indicators used by ITAÚ UNIBANCO HOLDING in the management of liquidity risk:

 

Liquidity Indicators  % 
Net assets / funds within 30 days   59.6 
Net assets / total funds   18.0
