THE PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS DISCUSSED BELOW RELATE TO COMMON SHARES THAT ARE SECURITIES OF A BRAZILIAN ISSUER. THE OFFER IS SUBJECT TO DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS OF BRAZIL THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES.

IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO ENFORCE YOUR RIGHTS AND ANY CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, SINCE THE ISSUER IS LOCATED IN BRAZIL, AND SOME OR ALL OF ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE RESIDENTS OF BRAZIL. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUE THE ISSUER OR ITS OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS IN A BRAZILIAN COURT FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE U.S. SECURITIES LAWS. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO COMPEL THE ISSUER AND ITS AFFILIATES TO SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO A U.S. COURT’S JUDGMENT.

Notice to Shareholders

Preemption Rights for the Subscription of Shares in a Primary Public Offering

Banco do Brasil (the “Bank”) informs its registered holders (“Shareholders”) that, pursuant to a resolution passed at its Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting on May 19, 2010, a preemption right (“Preemption Right”) was granted to each current holder of a common share of the Bank (“Common Share”) for the subscription of a new Common Share that will be offered by the Bank in the primary portion of a primary and secondary public offering of Common Shares (the “Offering”), pursuant to Article 171 of Law 6,404 of December 15, 1976 and subsequent amendments (the “Brazilian Corporations Law”).

Shareholders considering exercising their preemptive rights should note the following:

a) Holders of Preemption Rights: To ensure the participation of shareholders in the primary portion of the Offering (the “Primary Offering”), the holdings of record with the BM&FBOVESPA – Stock, Commodities and Futures Exchange (“BM&FBOVESPA”) and the depository institution with respect to the Common Shares as of the end of May 24, 2010 (“First Cut Date”) and as of the end of June 18, 2010 (“Second Cut Date”) will be used. With respect to Shareholders of record as of the First Cut Date, if the respective shareholding position undergoes any change between the First Cut Date and the Second Cut Date, the Shareholder’s respective Proportional Subscription Limit (as defined below) will change to the same extent as that the Shareholder’s holdings of record changes between the First Cut Date and the Second Cut Date.

b) Period to exercise the preemptive right: Shareholders may exercise their Preemption Rights by filing the specific form (“Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form”) intended for the exercise of such right, within a three-day period between June 21, 2010, the date on which the Notice to the Market of the Offering is republished, and June 23, 2010, the expiration of the Preemption Right (“Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Period”).

c) Subscription Limit: Each Shareholder filing a Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form during the Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Period is assured the right to subscribe for shares in the Primary Offering in an amount equal to the percent ownership interest of such Shareholder in the all Common Shares, rounding up fractional Shares (“Proportional Subscription Limit”). Because the aggregate Proportional Subscription Limit is 11.129% per share, Shareholders who exercise their Preemption Rights will be entitled to subscribe for 0.11129 shares issued within the scope of the Offering, for each share held between the First Cut-Off Date and the Second Cut-Off date. There is no minimum investment requirement and the maximum amount is subject to the respective Shareholder’s Proportional Subscription Limit. If the Central Bank does not approve the Bank’s capital increase before the expiration of the Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Period, the Offering may be settled through


delivery of securities deposit certificates (“Units”) consisting of five shares and 13 subscription receipts, each unit which will be entitled to receive a Common Share upon receipt of subscription (“Subscription Receipts”). In case Units are issued, the number of Units to be delivered to each Shareholder exercising its Preemption Right will be the number of shares included in its Reservation Forms divided by the number of shares plus the Subscription Receipts underlying each Unit, rounding up fractional shares, in the case of Shareholders who have exercised their Preemption Right. In the event of settlement with Units, each Shareholder who has filed a Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form will receive (i) Units in number corresponding to its Proportional Subscription Limit divided by the number of shares and Subscription Receipts underlying each Unit and (ii) as many Common Shares as may be required so that, after delivery of the Units referred to in item (i) above, the Proportional Subscription Limit is fully met. Banco do Brasil will publish, if applicable, on the first day immediately following the date of publication of the Announcement of Commencement of the Offering, notice to the market in Brazil notifying of the delivery of Units in lieu of shares.

d) Where to exercise the preemptive right: Shareholders maintaining their Common Shares in a custody account with any Engaged Institution for the Offering (as defined in the Notice to the Market with respect to the Offering) may file Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Forms with any single Engaged Institution, the deposit intended investment amount being unnecessary, as may be stipulated by each Engaged Institution. Those Shareholders who do not maintain their shares in Banco do Brasil with any Engaged Institution, or do not maintain their shares with a Depositary, may file only one Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form with any branch of the Bank, the deposit intended investment amount being unnecessary.

e) Assignment of preemptive right: The Preemption Right may be traded privately or assigned by the Shareholders pursuant to §6 of Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, except as prohibited by restrictions imposed by laws or regulations of Brazil or any other relevant jurisdiction. U.S. Holders may only transfer their respective Preemption Rights in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, within the time period established for exercising such Preemption Right, through a specific Assignment Agreement (“Assignment Agreement”), attached to the Prospectus for the Offering (“Prospectus”). Before June 23, 2010, Shareholders acquiring Preemption Rights must deposit with the Bank, at any branch indicated in the Notice to the Market in relation to the Offering published on June 14, 2010, a copy of the respective Assignment Agreement duly signed by the parties and notarized and, in the event of corporate entities, attaching copies of documents establishing the power of representation of the signatories. There will be no trading of subscription rights on the BM&FBOVESPA.

f) Price per share: The price per share will be established after the placement of the reservation forms through a bookbuilding process. Bookbuilding consists of determining the sales price of the Common Shares by considering the stated investment intentions of Institutional Investors, i.e., how much each would be willing to pay per Common Share. Shareholders who exercise their preemptive rights and non-institutional investors do not participate in the bookbuilding process.

g) Maximum price indicated by the shareholder: Any Shareholder may establish in the Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form, a cap price per Common Share as a condition to the effectiveness of the Shareholder’s reservation. If the Shareholder chooses to set a cap price per Common Share in its Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form and the price per Common Share established exceeds such cap price, the reservation form will automatically be canceled by the Bank. Once signed by the Shareholder, the Preemption Right Exercise Reservation Form will be considered irreversible and irrevocable, the Shareholder not being allowed to modify the cap price included therein.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATION

The Bank and its subsidiaries’ (BB-Consolidated) audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended (i) December 31, 2009 and 2008, or the 2009 Financial Statements; (ii) December 31, 2008 and 2007, or the 2008 Financial Statements, and, together with the 2009 Financial Statements, the Annual Financial Statements; and (iii) the Bank’s unaudited consolidated interim financial information as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, or the March 2010 Financial Statements, and together with the Annual Financial Statements, the Financial Statements, in each case together with the notes thereto and included elsewhere in this reference form limited translation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, based on Brazilian Law No. 6,404, dated December 15, 1976, as amended, or the Brazilian Corporations Law, the accounting standards issued by the Brazil Institute of Independent Accountants (Instituto dos Auditores Independentes do Brasil) (“IBRACON”), the Accounting Pronouncement Committee (Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis) (“CPC”), and the rules and regulations issued by CVM and the Central Bank. The accounting practices adopted in Brazil are defined, for the purposes of this reference form limited translation, as “Brazilian GAAP,” which differs in significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP.

As mentioned in the notes to the Bank’s consolidated financial statements, accounting practices adopted in Brazil were modified on January 1, 2008. The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 were prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil enacted as of December 31, 2007 and, as permitted by the Technical Standard CPC 13—First-time Adoption of Law No. 11,638/07 and MP 449/08 (converted into Law No. 11,941, dated May 27, 2009), have not been restated to reflect the adjustments required to allow comparison with the consolidated financial statements of 2009 and 2008. Therefore, the 2007 financial information presented in this reference form limited translation is not directly comparable to that of 2009 and 2008.

The audit report covering the Bank’s 2009 Financial Statements contains an emphasis paragraph stating that the Bank has recorded assets relating to the surplus of PREVI, which was determined based on criteria established by management that include estimates and assumptions of an actuarial and financial nature, as well as the fulfillment of the regulatory requirements in force. In addition, the audit report states that the balances and respective income of certain indirect investments and the net assets used in the calculation of the Retirement and Pension Plan were audited by other independent accountants and that the Bank’s independent auditor’s evaluation with respect to those assets and income is based on the reports issued by the other independent accountants.

The audit report covering the Bank’s 2008 Financial Statements states that the balances and respective income of some indirect subsidiaries and foreign branches and the net assets of the Retirement and Pension Plan were audited by other independent accountants and that the Bank’s independent auditor’s evaluation with respect to those assets and income is based on the reports issued by the other independent accountants. In addition, the audit report contains paragraphs emphasizing that (a) the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted and effective in Brazil up to December 31, 2007 and, as permitted by Technical Pronouncement CPC 13—the Initial Adoption of Law 11,638/07 and of Medida Provisória 449/08, they are not presented with the reclassifications necessary for comparability between the years reported; (b) the Bank has recorded assets relating to its surplus in the Retirement and Pension Plan that were recorded based on criteria established by the Bank’s management that include estimates and assumptions of an actuarial and financial nature; and (c) amounts were recorded relating to income and social contribution tax credits that are contingent on future generation of taxable income and adherence to rules established by the National Monetary Council of Brazil or National Monetary Council or CMN.

The report covering the Bank’s March 2010 Financial Statements contains an emphasis paragraph stating that during 2009, the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliarios or “CVM”)

 

- 1 -


approved several accounting pronouncements and interpretations and other guidance issued by the CPC and effective in 2010, with retroactive application to 2009 for comparative purposes, which alter the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. As allowed by the CVM through Deliberation 603/09, the Bank’s management has presented its interim financial information as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil during fiscal year 2009, and has not applied the new accounting pronouncements, which must apply to the full fiscal 2010 year. The Bank will refile its interim financial information as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 in accordance with the new accounting rules, when its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 are issued, which may affect significantly the way the Bank reports its results, cash flows and equity and financial condition.

Moreover, the Brazilian Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC) issued a number of accounting pronouncements which, if approved by the Central Bank, must be adopted in the preparation of the Bank’s financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Bank’s management understands that the application of the accounting pronouncements will not have a relevant impacts on the stockholders’ equity and results of the Bank. According to the CVM, the presentation of the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009 is mandatory for comparison purposes and the quarterly information prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for the quarters ended in 2010 and for comparison purposes in 2009 must also be presented again upon the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 2010, in order to reflect the adoption of such pronouncements.

The Bank is analyzing if the rules issued by CVM, regarding the presentation of financial statements, are also applicable to financial institutions, as the application of such accountancy pronouncements depends on the approval by the Central Bank.

The Bank must also prepare, as from the year ended December 31, 2010, its financial statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS differs, in certain material respects, from the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The Bank has identified but not quantified such differences and has not prepared any reconciliation between the IFRS and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil for any of the financial statements in connection with this reference form limited translation or for any other purpose. The Bank’s management understands, however, that such reconciliation would not identify the material differences among the balances the Bank reports, provided that the Bank’s financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil could be different had these financial statements been prepared in accordance with the IFRS.

The assets and liabilities of Banco Votorantim, in proportion to the Bank’s share in total capital stock, have been consolidated into the Bank’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2009. The proportional share of income and expenses of Banco Votorantim was consolidated into the Bank’s financial statements as from October 2009.

In addition, as a result of the implementation of the new accounting policies in response to Law No. 11,638, the Bank’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are not directly comparable to those as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In this reference form limited translation, tables containing financial information include, except where otherwise indicated, consolidated financial information of the Bank.

The Bank’s average volume and balance data has been calculated based upon the average of the month-end balances during the relevant period.

Certain rounding adjustments have been made in calculating some of the figures included in this reference form limited translation. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not agree precisely with the figures that precede them. The Bank maintains its books and records in reais.

The statistical information and data related to the Bank’s business areas were obtained from government entities or extracted from general publications. The Bank has not independently verified such information and data, and, therefore, cannot assure their accuracy and completeness.

Solely for the convenience of the reader, the Bank has converted certain amounts contained in “Capitalization,” “Selected Financial Information,” “Other Statistical and Financial Information” and elsewhere in this reference form limited translation from reais into U.S. dollars. Except as otherwise expressly indicated, the rate used to convert such amounts was R$1.781 to US$1.00 (subject to rounding adjustments), which was the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2010 as reported by the Central Bank. The U.S. dollar equivalent information presented in this reference form limited translation is provided solely for the convenience of investors and should not be construed as implying that the amounts presented in reais represent, or could have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at such rates or at any other rate. The real/U.S. dollar exchange rate may fluctuate widely, and the exchange rate as of March 31, 2010 may not be indicative of future exchange rates. See “Exchange Rate Information” for information regarding real/U.S. dollar exchange rates.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Bank’s common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this reference form limited translation before making an investment decision regarding the Bank’s common shares. The Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and/or prospects may be adversely affected by any of these risks, among others. The trading value of the Bank’s common shares could decline due to the occurrence of any of these risks or other factors, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Bank is currently not aware may also materially and adversely affect the Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, prospects and/or the trading value of the Bank’s common shares.

For purposes of this section, unless otherwise expressed or if required by the context, an indication that a risk, uncertainty or problem could or will have an “adverse effect on the Bank” or “will adversely affect the Bank” means that the risk, uncertainty or problem could or will have an adverse effect on the Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, prospects and/or the trading value of the Bank’s common shares. Similar expressions in this section should be read as having the same meaning.

Risks Relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry

Brazilian banks, including the Bank, are subject to extensive and continuously evolving regulatory review by the Central Bank.

The Brazilian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over the Brazilian economy. The regulatory structure governing Brazilian financial institutions is continuously evolving due to, among other reasons, international treaties and agreements. Existing laws and regulations could be amended, the manner in which laws and regulations are enforced or interpreted could change and new laws or regulations could be adopted.

The Bank has no control over government regulations applicable to its activities, including those relating to:

 

   

minimum capital requirements;

 

   

compulsory deposits/reserve requirements;

 

   

investment requirements in fixed assets;

 

   

lending limits and other credit restrictions;

 

   

accounting and statistical requirements;

 

   

price and salary controls; and

 

   

tax policy and regulation.

Any such changes could adversely affect the Bank’s operations and financial results.

The Bank may be required to recognize liabilities related to government programs and funds in excess of those recorded.

The Bank acts as an agent for the onlending of funds from government programs and funds—principally from the Midwest Constitutional Financing Fund (Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Centro-Oeste or

 

- 4 -


FCO), Worker Support Fund (Fundo de Amparo ao Trabalhador or FAT) and from the Treasury National (Orçamento das Operações Oficiais de Crédito do Tesouro Nacional)—to provide financing at lower interest rates to certain business sectors, especially the agribusiness sector. The principal projects financed are the Federal Employment and Income Generation Program (Programa de Geração de Emprego e Renda or “PROGER”) and the Brazilian Family Agriculture Program (Programa Nacional de Agricultura Familiar or “PRONAF”).

The Bank usually recognizes liabilities related to onlending of funds, which are subject to account reconciliation and rendering of accounts to funding sources and regulatory agencies. The implementation of a new system to control these onlendings, to review methodologies and to interface with other corporate accounting and operating systems will allow the Bank to identify differences in the reconciliation of liabilities, which may adversely affect the Bank’s financial results.

The future profitability of the Bank is subject to certain factors outside the control of the Bank, including prevailing interest and exchange rates and the market price of its securities portfolio.

The Bank’s results of operations are subject to factors that are beyond its control, including interest and exchange rates in force and the market price of its securities portfolio. Accordingly, its ability to secure satisfactory rates of return on its assets and stockholders’ equity may depend on its ability to increase its revenue, reduce costs and adjust its portfolio of assets in order to minimize adverse impacts from the fluctuation of macroeconomic indicators.

As of March 31, 2010, 53.9% of the Bank’s balance sheet consisted of credit, leasing and securities transactions (including Federal Government securities), the return on which is subject to fluctuations in exchange and interest rates and other macroeconomic factors. The Bank’s securities portfolio was comprised of (i) 81.2% of securities linked to an inter-bank certificate of deposit (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário or “CDI”) or to the Taxa Média SELIC (“TMS”) rate, (ii) 16.8% of securities with a fixed rate of interest, and (iii) 2.0% of securities linked to other indexes, making the majority of the portfolio securities with a floating rate of interest. The Bank has investments abroad, as well as external funding, mainly in U.S. Dollars, that may adversely impact its profitability in the event of a significant foreign exchange variation of the real against the U.S. Dollar.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank’s net exchange position was short in foreign currency in the amount of R$2.8 billion. The Bank’s overall exchange exposure, calculated in accordance with Central Bank Circular No. 3,389, was positive in the amount of R$767.7 million.

The Bank is subject to all risks associated to long-term credit operations, whether related to the economic activity, interest rate levels, mismatch of funding periods or changes in the Central Bank’s requirements. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had a mismatch in the transactions involving securities with a fixed rate of interest, with average maturity of assets and liabilities of nine months and six months, respectively. In the event of changes in interest rates, any public securities having a fixed rate of interest will lead to a material adverse financial impact, whether on results for securities classified as “trading securities” or on stockholders’ equity for securities classified as “available for sale.” None of these factors is under the Bank’s control, and may adversely affect the Bank.

As the controlling shareholder of the Bank, the Federal Government may adopt policies that could have a material adverse effect on the Bank.

The Federal Government, through the National Treasury, is the Bank’s controlling shareholder and, as a result, the President of Brazil directly appoints the Bank’s President, as well as the President of the Central Bank and the Finance Minister. The Federal Government also appoints the majority of the members of the Bank’s Board of Directors. See “Management—Board of Directors.”

 

- 5 -


The Bank’s by-laws currently provide that, with respect to the relationship between the Bank and its controlling shareholder, the Federal Government, the Bank is required to: (i) perform certain duties and services in its role as the financial agent of the National Treasury and certain other functions assigned to it by law; (ii) extend financing in respect of governmental interests and execute certain official programs through the Federal Government Treasury funds or funds of any other nature; and (iii) render guarantees in favor of the Federal Government.

Any such actions required to be taken by the Bank are contingent upon certain safeguards, including the placing of funds at the Bank’s disposal of which a pre-determined amount is set aside for the reimbursement of financial charges and compensation for the Bank’s service, which amount may never be lower than the cost of services to the Bank.

The Federal Government, as the Bank’s majority shareholder, without the consent of the remaining shareholders, will be entitled, directly or indirectly, to:

 

   

control the Bank’s management;

 

   

determine the result of a large portion of the Bank’s corporate resolutions;

 

   

determine dividend distribution policies, with due regard for the minimum required distribution; and

 

   

approve relevant matters at shareholders’ meetings, including amendments to the Bank’s bylaws.

The Federal Government may cause the Bank to adopt certain measures or enter into transactions intended to promote political, economic or social purposes rather than to exclusively develop business and increase the Bank’s results of operations. If any such measures are adopted, they may be contrary to the interests of the Bank and those of the Bank’s remaining shareholders, and may have adverse effects on the business, operations, profitability or capital adequacy of the Bank. See “—Risks Relating to Brazil—The Bank is subject to influence by the Federal Government, and any change to the Bank’s strategy and policies that the administration makes could adversely affect its operations or prospects” for a discussion of the potential effects on the Bank of political changes in Brazil.

The Bank has expanded its consumer lending business which may increase the risk of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The Bank has expanded its consumer lending business. Consumer lending tends to be more risky than corporate or mortgage lending because consumer lending is generally either unsecured or collateralized by cumbersome assets. The Bank’s increase in consumer lending has therefore increased the overall risk of the Bank’s credit portfolio, which may subject the Bank to loan defaults that could have an adverse effect on its results of operations. In addition, many consumer finance products are relatively new in Brazil and therefore may be potentially more vulnerable to market volatility. The strategy of expanding consumer financing will likely be maintained over the coming years, and consumer financing could increase by between 27% and 32%, which may increase the risk of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The Bank may face risks related to mergers and/or acquisitions.

The Bank has recently acquired several other banks and may merge or acquire other banks and, consequently, may be subject to risks related to such transactions. For example, the Bank may (i) overpay for these acquisitions, especially considering that the target companies may not achieve the forecasted results and, therefore, the investments may not deliver the expected returns; (ii) encounter problems when integrating products, systems, technology, staff and facilities, which can adversely affect the Bank’s internal controls,

 

- 6 -


procedures and policies; (iii) fail to achieve expected operational and financial synergies with any such merger or acquisition, which may result in adverse effects on the Bank’s business, operational results and cash flow; (iv) not fully assess potential contingencies of the target companies; and (v) as successor to the target company’s business, be held liable for the target company’s liabilities, including those generated prior to the transaction, as well as be exposed to risks related to the acts of the previous management team of the target company and potential liabilities for acts that occurred prior to the transaction.

The integration of Nossa Caixa, which is expected to be completed by July 2010, has been challenging, as Nossa Caixa’s operations and distribution network are as large as the Bank’s in the State of São Paulo. In addition, this acquisition is still subject to approval by the Brazilian Antitrust Agency (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica, or CADE). Although the strategy for the acquisition is for Nossa Caixa to migrate to the Bank’s systems and credit analysis and other procedures, if the integration is not successful, if Nossa Caixa presents unforeseen liabilities or losses, or if the integration is not able to be completed in a timely manner or within the budget allocated, it could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations.

Pursuant to the specific terms of each transaction, the Bank may also be required to submit for approval any merger and acquisition transactions to the Brazilian anti-trust authorities (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica), the Central Bank and/or applicable regulatory agencies. The Bank may not be successful in obtaining the necessary authorizations or may not obtain such authorizations in an expected manner.

In the past months, the Bank has issued notices of material events relating to its intention to acquire or enter into strategic partnerships with other companies. If completed, these transactions may increase the risks described above relating to merger and/or acquisitions events.

The Bank’s acquisitions may involve business segments in which the Bank does not have primary experience or target banks with policies different from the Bank’s policies.

The Bank has recently and may in the future acquire other banks that operate in business segments or countries in which the Bank has not historically focused. If the Bank is unable to successfully operate in these business segments or countries, the Bank’s results of operations could be adversely affected. For further information, see “Business—Recent Relevant Acquisitions and Partnerships.”

Minimum capital adequacy requirements imposed on the Bank following the implementation of the Basel II Accord may negatively impact the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2004, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices approved a new framework for risk-based capital adequacy, commonly referred to as the “Basel II Accord.” The Basel II Accord sets out the details for adopting more risk-sensitive minimum capital requirements for financial institutions. As part of its implementation, the Central Bank has proposed new capital adequacy regulations, which among other provisions contain changes to the risk weighting for different categories of loans.

According to Communication No. 19,028 of the Central Bank, the requirements for use of certain capital calculation models included in the Basel II Accord are to be implemented by the first half of 2013, with emphasis on changes in the allocation of capital for credit risk and the allocation of capital to operating risk. Furthermore, Central Bank Circular No. 3,478 of December 24, 2009 established that financial institutions planning to implement internal models for market risks will be required to request prior authorization from the Central Bank as from June 30, 2010.

In addition, pursuant to Resolution No. 3,490 of August 29, 2007 of the National Monetary Council (Conselho Monetário Nacional, or “CMN”), and Central Bank Circular No. 3,383 of April 30, 2008 the Central Bank requires banks to set aside a portion of their equity to cover operational risks (i.e., losses arising from

 

- 7 -


failures, deficiency or inadequacy of internal proceeding, personnel or systems, including due to external events). Resolution No. 3,490 became effective as of July 1, 2008 and required a portion of banks’ equity to cover operational risks. The risk-weighted capital ratio required of the Bank and all other banks in Brazil is currently 11.0% of risk-based exposure. The Bank’s Basel ratio was 13.7% as of December 31, 2009, compared to 15.2% as of December 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2010, the ratio remained unchanged at 13.7%.

Due to changes in the rules concerning capital adequacy or due to changes in the performance of the Brazilian economy as a whole, the Bank may be unable to meet the minimum capital adequacy requirements required by the Central Bank. The Bank may also be compelled to limit the Bank’s credit operations, dispose of some of its assets and/or take other measures that may adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capital Adequacy” and “Regulation of The Brazilian Banking Industry—Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards.”

The continued expansion of the Bank’s business by means of acquisitions may cause the Bank’s risk-weighted capital ratio to decrease, increasing the Bank’s risk profile.

Following the Bank’s investment in Banco Votorantim, as of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s risk-weighted capital ratio was 13.7%. In addition, as the Bank’s business continues to expand by means of acquisitions, its risk-weighted capital ratio may continue to decrease without the Bank raising additional regulatory capital. Any such decrease in the ratio increases the Bank’s risk profile, which represents an increased risk that the Bank will not be able to meet Brazilian capital adequacy requirements or fulfill its obligations.

The Bank may be required to resume contributions to PREVI, which may adversely affect its results of operations.

The Bank sponsors PREVI, which provides benefits to its participants and their dependants in addition to those provided by the Brazilian social security system.

PREVI offers two distinct plans: (i) the defined contribution plan (“Plano Previ Futuro”), and (ii) the defined benefit plan (“Plano de Benefícios No. 1”). The Bank’s contributions to Plano Previ Futuro totaled R$38.7 million as of March 31, 2010, R$144.1 million in 2009, R$118.3 million in 2008 and R$90.5 million in 2007. However, in view of the accumulated surplus for Plano de Benefícios No. 1, as of December 31, 2006, contributions by participants, beneficiaries (retirees and pensioners) and the Bank (as plan sponsor) were suspended in January 2007. This suspension will be reassessed every 12 months, and will be maintained for as long as Plano de Benefícios No. 1 has a surplus. For 2008 and 2009, the Bank reassessed this suspension and maintained it in accordance with the surplus that remained at the time of those reassessments.

Due to a number of factors, PREVI may not be able to maintain the accumulated surplus of Plano de Benefícios No. 1 and, on that basis, the Bank may have to resume contributions to this plan, which may adversely affect its results of operations.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had an accumulated surplus of R$13,374 million in the PREVI, the Retirement and Pension Plan, compared to an accumulated surplus of R$7,794 million as of March 31, 2009. The Bank calculates accumulated surplus based on management criteria that include estimates and assumptions of a long-term actuarial and financial nature, as well as application and interpretation of regulatory rules in force as of the calculation date. Accordingly, any inaccuracy in estimates and assumptions could result in discrepancies between the amount recorded and the amount actually realized, resulting in a negative impact on the Bank’s results of operations.

The Bank is responsible for social security charges not established in PREVI’s benefit plans and the Bank’s provisions may not be sufficient to cover its potential liabilities.

The Bank is responsible for social security charges for employees hired up to April 14, 1967, who are not provided for in PREVI’s benefit plans. These charges have defined-benefit characteristics and the system adopted for actuarial revaluations is the capitalization method. The Bank is also responsible for charges arising from legal decisions that increase retirement and pension benefits amounts beyond those already provided for under PREVI’s benefit plans.

In compliance with Deliberation No. 371 of December 13, 2000 of the CVM, the Bank recorded R$1,642 million in provisions arising from this actuarial liability on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. However, the Bank cannot estimate if this accrued amount (or any other amount that may be accrued in the future) will be sufficient to cover potential liabilities in the event of changes in the actuarial assumptions underlying the calculation of this obligation or in the event the Bank is required to increase retirement and pension benefits amounts beyond the amounts set forth in PREVI’s benefit plans. Accordingly, a significant increase in the Bank’s actual liability in excess of the amount of its provisions may adversely affect the Bank’s financial results.

The Bank’s ability to charge payments due from payroll deduction loan transactions depends on the effectiveness and validity of agreements entered into with, and the credit risk of, private employers and public sector entities, as well as on borrowers keeping their jobs.

The Bank has been entering into an increased number of payroll deduction loan transactions. To the extent that this expansion continues, part of the Bank’s revenues will result from payments due from payroll deduction loan transactions, which will be directly deducted from employees’ or retirees’ paychecks. These deductions could be suspended if the agreements entered into with borrowers’ employers or public sector entities are terminated, or if an employee of both private or public sector entities has his or her employment contract terminated by the employer, or otherwise ceases employment.

In the case of termination of these agreements, the Bank’s collection system of payroll deduction loans will be compromised and a new collection system may be necessary, which may not be as effective as the current one, or may have high operating costs. In this case, transactions related to the terminated agreements may decrease. If an employee has his or her employment contract terminated by the employer, leaves the job, or dies, the payment of the payroll deduction loan may depend exclusively on the financial ability of the borrower or his/her successors to repay the loan. Similarly, if private employers suffer losses or any type of bankruptcy or liquidation event, they may not be able to pay their employees. The Bank cannot assure that it will recover its credit under these circumstances.

These events could increase the risk in the Bank’s consumer loan portfolio and could result in a higher percentage of losses in transactions of this nature, which could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations. These risks could also result in an increase in administrative expenses and other expenses related to collection of payments due, including the implementation of a new collection system, which may adversely affect the Bank’s operations and financial position.

Collateral with respect to defaulted loans may be difficult to repossess and for the Bank to realize value from.

Upon defaults by the Bank’s clients and after all extrajudicial collection measures have been exhausted, collateral with respect to the underlying loans may be difficult for the Bank to repossess and to realize value from, in view of all the steps necessary in judicial proceedings for debt collection or low liquidity of specific markets.

The Bank’s growing extension of payroll deduction loans is subject to changes in laws and regulations, interpretation by the courts and the policies of public entities.

Since the repayment of payroll deduction loans (which the Bank has been increasingly extending, following the Nossa Caixa acquisition), is directly deducted from the payroll of public servants or the National Social Security Institute (the Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social or “INSS”) retiree or pensioner benefit, the Bank is, to a great extent, exposed to the credit risk of the entity to which borrowers are related, which enables the Bank to extend loans at rates lower than those charged in connection with other products offered by financial institutions in Brazil, including the Bank itself. This payment deduction mechanism is regulated by a number of laws and regulations, at the federal, state and municipal levels, which establish deduction limits and provide for the irrevocability of the authorization given by a public servant or INSS beneficiary to deduct the amount for purposes of settlement of the loan.

Accordingly, the enactment of a new law or regulation or the amendment to, revocation or new interpretation of existing laws and regulations which prohibits, restricts or may adversely affect the ability of the Bank to carry out, these direct deductions may increase the risk profile of its credit portfolio by increasing the interest rate of its personal loans and resulting in a greater amount of loan losses.

In June 2004, the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justiça) determined that an authorization for direct payroll deduction given by a public servant in the State of Rio Grande do Sul could be revoked, and that an irrevocable authorization would be abusive and, accordingly, null and void. Even though in June 2005 the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice issued a new decision recognizing that the irrevocability of these authorizations is legal and valid, the Bank can make no assurance that such decision will be corroborated by other courts.

Additionally, the extension of payroll deduction loans to public servants and INSS retirees and pensioners depends on the authorization by public entities to which these persons are related. The Federal Government or other governmental entities may change the regulations governing these authorizations and other government agencies may impose future regulations that restrict or prevent the Bank from offering payroll deduction loans to their employees. Part of the Bank’s credit portfolio is composed of payroll deduction loans granted to public servants and INSS retirees and pensioners, and amendments to or the enactment of new laws or regulation that restrict or prevent the Bank from extending this type of loan may adversely affect the Bank.

On September 29, 2005, the INSS issued a regulatory instruction prohibiting retirees and pensioners from authorizing, by telephone calls, any payroll deduction loans deduction from their benefits and limiting the repayment of these operations to 36 monthly installments. Additionally, on November 22, 2005, the INSS suspended, for a 30-day period, any renewal of deduction authorization for payment of loans extended by means of credit card or the extension of this type of loan to INSS retirees or pensioners. The suspension was in compliance with a recommendation by the National Social Security Council, or Conselho Nacional da Seguridade Social, that decided to extend this suspension up to June 15, 2006. On July 7, 2006, INSS issued Regulatory Instruction No. 8, authorizing the extension of payroll deduction loans upon the use of credit cards, limited to twice the amount of the benefit received by the retiree or pensioner. Pursuant to this Regulatory Instruction, the Bank resumed the development of the payroll deduction loans line involving credit cards. Additionally, on May 16, 2008, INSS issued Regulatory Instruction No. 28 (amended by Regulatory Instruction No. 39 of June 18, 2009 and by Regulatory Instruction No. 43 of January 19, 2010) establishing new procedures for the extension of payroll deduction loans to INSS retirees and pensioners. Such new procedures included the prohibition on the use of payroll deduction credit cards for cash withdrawals and the granting of grace period for the payment of the first installment of the loan. The Bank can make no assurance that INSS will not again change the regulation, which may adversely affect the Bank.

Additionally, the Bank has entered into exclusive agreements with public entities to extend payroll deduction loans to public servants. In return, the Bank pays public entities an agreed upon business development

fee. There has been an increase in the number of legal proceedings challenging the Bank’s exclusive payroll deduction loan arrangements with certain government entities, including the State of São Paulo, in recent months. If a new Court decision challenges and revokes this right to exclusivity, the Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected.

Monetary regulations imposed by the Federal Government could adversely affect the Bank.

To support its monetary policy, the Federal Government, acting through the CMN and the Central Bank, periodically introduces regulations aimed at controlling the rate of inflation through, among other means, the adjustment of reserve requirements applicable to loans and deposits, the regulation of the maximum term of outstanding credits, and the imposition of limitations on amounts that may be financed. Controls such as these are used by the Federal Government on a regular basis to regulate the availability of credit and to reduce or increase consumption. At times, these regulations have affected the ability of the Bank’s clients to obtain credit and restricted the growth of the Bank’s loan portfolio. Some of these controls have remained in place and have had a continuing effect on the Bank’s business. There can be no assurance that the Federal Government will not implement regulations that will affect the Bank’s liquidity, the creditworthiness of the Bank’s clients, its funding strategy, its lending growth or its profitability.

Rural lending may be increased by the Bank due to the Federal Government’s policy, which may adversely affect the Bank’s profitability.

The Bank’s agribusiness credit portfolio, which currently accounts for approximately 21.2% of its total credit portfolio, has historically been less profitable due to lower spreads when compared to the Bank’s consumer credit portfolio. During the first quarter of 2010, while the consumer credit portfolio earned an annual average spread of 9.8%, the average annual spread on the Bank’s agribusiness credit portfolio was 5.6%. The spread of 18.2% on the consumer credit portfolio and the spread of 6.7% on the corporate credit portfolio have also contributed to the annual average spread of the credit portfolio. Additionally, the performance of the Bank’s agribusiness credit portfolio is subject to factors that are beyond the Bank’s control, such as the price of agricultural commodities, weather conditions, crop failures and the Federal Government’s policy relative to agricultural credit and agribusiness. As an institution controlled by the Federal Government, and as the main agribusiness financier in Brazil, the Bank may be required to increase the size of its agricultural credit portfolio and implement government agribusiness programs in order to meet political guidelines and governmental goals. See “Business—Description of Products and Services—Agribusiness Loans,” for a discussion of the Bank’s rural lending business.

The increasingly competitive environment and recent consolidation in the Brazilian banking industry may adversely affect the Bank.

The market for financial and banking services in Brazil is highly competitive. The Bank faces significant competition from other large Brazilian and international banks. For example, several of the Bank’s competitors took early steps to expand their consumer credit portfolios, and have merged and formed joint ventures with retailers and other partners in furtherance of this strategy. In addition, several of the Bank’s competitors have expanded the scope of their international activities.

The Brazilian banking industry experienced a period of consolidation in the 1990s, when a number of Brazilian banks were liquidated and several important state-owned and private banks were sold. Competition increased during this period as foreign banks entered the Brazilian market through the acquisition of Brazilian financial institutions. The privatization of state-owned banks also made the Brazilian banking and financial services markets more competitive. Although Brazilian regulations present some limited barriers to market entry, the presence of foreign banks in Brazil, some of which have greater resources than the Bank, has grown and competition has increased in the banking sector generally as well as in markets for specific products.

In September 2006, the CMN enacted new regulations to increase competition among Brazilian commercial banks. As a result of these new regulations: (a) banks are prohibited from charging clients fees for services in connection with salary, pension and other income payment accounts that such clients are required to maintain with a bank that has been designated by such client’s employer, pension fund or income payor, (b) financial institutions and leasing companies must accept the prepayment of loans and leasing transactions by clients who have elected to refinance such debt with other financial institutions, (c) clients will have the right to request that a financial institution disclose their credit history to another financial institution, and (d) changes in the regulation of the Credit Guarantee Fund (Fundo Garantidor de Crédito or “FGC”), which is a government fund created to guarantee payment of funds deposited with financial institutions in case of intervention, administrative liquidation, bankruptcy or other state of insolvency, thereby providing depositors with greater assurance that their deposits will be safeguarded.

By creating mechanisms that will make it easier for clients to open new accounts and transfer their funds from one institution to another, these new regulations aim to increase competition among financial institutions by facilitating a client’s ability to switch their business between financial institutions. In addition, the changes in the federal depositary insurance regime are intended to provide clients with the security of knowing that deposits, including those with smaller financial institutions will be guaranteed at up to R$60,000 per client in the event that such financial institution becomes insolvent. Additionally, recent acquisitions of small- and mid-sized Brazilian banks, in particular those specializing in the retail segment, by large retail banks, have increased competition in the sector.

This increased competition may adversely affect the Bank by, among other things, limiting its ability to increase its client base and expand its operations, reducing asset growth rate and profit margins on services it provides and increasing competition for investment opportunities. The Bank’s ability to compete satisfactorily will largely depend upon the successful implementation of its strategy. See “Business—Principal Strategies.”

Exposure to Federal Government debt could have an adverse effect on the Bank.

The Bank invests in debt securities issued by the Federal Government that are high liquidity instruments. As of March 31, 2010, 13.4% of the Bank’s total assets consisted of securities issued by the Federal Government. As of December 31, 2009, the consolidated net indebtedness of the Brazilian public sector, in accordance with the economic indexes published by the Central Bank totaled R$1,345.3 billion, or 42.8% of Brazil’s gross domestic product (“GDP”). If the Federal Government defaults on the timely payment of such securities, the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected, as a result of such securities being marked to market. For a description of the Central Bank’s new valuation and accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

Interest rate changes by the Central Bank could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and profitability.

The Central Bank periodically establishes the special overnight clearance and custodial rate (Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia or “SELIC rate”), which is the base interest rate for the Brazilian banking system and an important policy instrument for achieving Federal Government inflation targets, measured by the Brazilian Extended Consumer Price Index (Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo or “IPCA”), that were formally adopted on July 1, 1999. The Central Bank has frequently adjusted the base interest rate, increasing the rate numerous times in response to economic uncertainties and to achieve the goals of the Federal Government’s economic policies.

As of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the SELIC rate was 13.66%, 11.18% and 13.19%, respectively. In 2009, the Central Bank significantly reduced the SELIC rate, which was at a level of 8.75% as of December 31, 2009. On April 28, 2010, the Central Bank increased the SELIC rate to 9.50%. On June 9, 2010, the Central Bank increased the SELIC rate to 10.25%.

 

- 12 -


Increases in the base interest rate could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations, by reducing demand for its credit, increasing its cost of funds and increasing the risk of client default. Decreases in the base interest rate could also adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations, by decreasing the interest income the Bank earns on its assets linked to the SELIC rate and by lowering margins.

Changes in minimum levels for housing and agricultural sector loans may negatively affect the Bank’s profitability.

Pursuant to current Brazilian banking regulations, the Bank is required to allocate 70.0% of its savings deposits (as compared to 69.0% prior to October 31, 2008, 60.0% prior to June 30, 2007 and 55.0% prior to June 30, 2006) and 30.0% of its demand deposits to agricultural loans (compared to 25.0% prior to October 31, 2008). The currently applicable rates will be decreased by one percentage point annually until they reach 65% and 25%, respectively, starting on July 1, 2014.

The total amounts required to be applied to these loans can directly influence the profitability of the Bank’s business in view of two factors: (i) if the Bank does not achieve the minimum levels required for these loans, it must deposit the difference as compulsory deposits with the Central Bank, which generally do not yield returns as high as other investments; and (ii) loans to the agricultural sector have tended to entail more risk and to be less profitable than other lending opportunities available. The risks related to the agricultural sector refer to factors that are beyond the Bank’s control, such as weather conditions, price of agricultural commodities and cost of production. Changes to applicable law that increase the amount of agricultural loans the Bank must make may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations. For further information, see “Regulation of the Brazilian Banking Industry.”

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank met all minimum levels required for housing sector loans. However, the Bank’s projections for its housing sector loan portfolio anticipate an increase in these loans, which would require further capital allocation. Risks related to housing sector loans include changes in the Bank’s ability to process these loans, changes in regulations applicable to the housing sector and macroeconomic risks related to the Brazilian economy, which could adversely affect the Bank’s financial situation and results of operations.

Changes in reserve requirements and compulsory deposits could adversely affect the Bank.

The Central Bank has periodically varied the amount of reserves that banks in Brazil (including the Bank) are required to maintain with the Central Bank in relation to amounts of demand deposits, savings deposits and time deposits and certain credit transactions, often to increase or decrease money supply for the purposes of managing the economy. Financial institutions (including the Bank) must comply with reserve requirements by depositing cash or, in some cases, Federal Government securities with the Central Bank. Some of the cash deposited with the Central Bank in satisfaction of reserve requirements does not earn interest, and even in those cases where the Central Bank pays interest, the rate is significantly less than that which the Bank would be able to earn through other investments. See “Regulation of the Brazilian Banking Industry—Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards.” There is no assurance that the Central Bank will not further increase reserve requirements or impose new reserve or compulsory deposit requirements that could negatively affect the Bank’s liquidity, funding strategy, lending growth or profitability.

Any restrictions on bank loan interest rates may adversely affect the Bank by decreasing the Bank’s revenues and limiting its ability to make loans.

Decree No. 22,626 of April 7, 1933, also known as the Usury Law (Lei de Usura), prevents any person or entity from charging interest rates higher than twice the legal interest rate. However, the Banking Restructuring Law No. 4,595/64, together with various Court decisions, have exempted banks from this prohibition. Any changes to the courts’ views about this exemption or an amendment in the applicable laws and regulations limiting the interest rates that the Bank can charge on loans may reduce the amount of interest the Bank may charge on certain of its loans, which may adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations.

The Bank might not be able to record all of its deferred tax credits.

Deferred tax credits are derived from either income and social contribution tax loss carry forwards or temporary differences, primarily related to long-term provisions for loan losses. The accounting treatment for deferred tax credits is governed by CMN Resolution No. 3,059 of December 12, 2002 as amended by CMN Resolution No. 3,355 of March 31, 2006 and CMN Resolution No. 3,655 of December 17, 2008.

In accordance with these Resolutions, financial institutions and other institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank, including the Bank, may only account for deferred tax credits if they: (i) have a history of taxable profits or revenues for income and social contribution tax purposes, evidenced by the occurrence of such profits and revenues in at least three of the five last years, including the then current year; and (ii) expect, based on an internal probability study, to generate future taxable profits or revenues for income and social contribution tax purposes in subsequent periods, that will allow the realization of the deferred tax credits within ten years.

Under CMN Resolution No. 3,655, the total amount of deferred tax credits as a portion of the Tier 1 reference equity value cannot exceed (a) 30.0% after January 2009, (b) 20.0% after January 2010 and (c) 10.0% after January 2011; any amounts in excess of those limits must be deducted from the Bank’s Tier 1 reference equity value. The Bank has reported substantial taxable income and expects, based on an internal probability study, to generate taxable income in the future. Accordingly, the Bank accounts for all of its tax credits classified under assets. If the Bank is unable to maintain its taxable income in the future, it may be required to write-off its deferred tax credits and could be compelled by the Central Bank to reduce its assets and stockholders’ equity. Any such write-off or reduction could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Federal Government has announced that it plans to propose broad tax reforms that, if implemented, could adversely affect the Bank’s business.

The Federal Government regularly enacts reforms to tax and other assessment regimes affecting the Bank. These reforms include changes to the frequency of assessments and, occasionally, enactment of temporary taxes, the proceeds of which are earmarked for designated governmental projects.

The Federal Government has announced that it plans to propose broad tax reforms in Brazil to improve the efficiency of allocation of economic resources. It is anticipated that the reform, if adopted, would involve a major restructuring of the Brazilian tax system, including the possible creation of a value-added tax on goods and services that would replace several taxes (including the social contribution tax, the federal tax on industrial products and the state tax on the circulation of goods and services). The effects of these changes, if enacted, and any other changes that could result from the enactment of additional tax reforms cannot be quantified, and the Bank cannot assure that these reforms will not have an adverse effect on the Bank’s business. Changes to the tax system in the past have produced uncertainty in the financial system and increased the cost of borrowing. These changes, if enacted, may contribute to a deterioration in the economic and financial condition of the Bank’s borrowers, and so may result in increases in the Bank’s non-performing loan portfolio in the future. Accordingly, these changes if enacted, may adversely affect the Bank’s operations and financial condition.

The ability to institute bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings against the Bank in Brazil may be limited by Brazilian law.

Law No. 6,024 of March 13, 1974 as amended (the “Financial Institutions Liquidation Law”) empowers the Central Bank to extra-judicially intervene in the operations or to liquidate financial institutions owned by the private sector or Brazilian state governments (but not of the Federal Government). The Bank, as an entity with majority ownership by the Federal Government, is therefore not subject to intervention or to extra-judicial liquidation by the Central Bank. Furthermore, according to Law No. 11,101 of February 9, 2005 (the “New

 

- 14 -


Bankruptcy Law”), companies with government-owned and privately-owned stocks (sociedades de economia mista) such as the Bank, are not subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In this context, in the case of the Bank, only the Federal Government, as the controlling entity of the Bank, has the authority to intervene and liquidate the Bank.

Accordingly, the ability to institute bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings against the Bank in Brazil may not be permitted or may be limited by Brazilian law.

However, there can be no assurance that the New Bankruptcy Law, the Brazilian Corporations Law or the Financial Institutions Liquidation Law will not be amended in the future, either by means of an action by the Brazilian Congress or through a provisional measure by the President of Brazil, thus changing the Bank’s legal status. Should any such change occur, it may have an adverse effect on the Bank, including the Bank’s ability to meets its payment obligations.

The Bank’s results of operations may be affected by the Bank’s interest in subsidiary and associated companies in Brazil and abroad.

The Bank holds, directly or indirectly, equity interests in several financial and non-financial companies in Brazil and abroad. The equity in the earnings of these subsidiary and/or associated companies is included in the results of operations of the Bank. These investments represented 31.9% of the Bank’s results of operations during the first quarter of 2010.

The Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected due to the different business activities developed by the Bank’s subsidiaries and associated companies. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Bank will receive any dividends or distributions from these subsidiaries or associated companies when they present negative financial results.

The Bank is subject to disruptions in some of its activities shifted to outside service providers, which may adversely affect the Bank’s business.

The Bank has a wide network of outside service providers for supplementary or accessory services and any disruptions in the outsourced activities, principally with respect to information technology and security, may have adverse effects on the Bank’s business.

An investment in the Bank’s common shares by foreign investors is limited to 20.0% of the total share capital of the Bank.

The President of Brazil may increase the maximum permitted levels of foreign ownership in Brazilian financial institutions by decree whenever such an increase is determined to be in the Brazilian national interest. On September 16, 2009, the President signed a Presidential Decree authorizing this increase of foreign ownership in the Bank’s capital stock to up to 20.0%.

Any increase in this limitation on ownership will depend on the enactment of a new decree by the President of Brazil, which is beyond the control of the Bank. Additionally, the Bank cannot predict the effects of this limit on foreign investors or which additional measures the federal government may take.

In the event that the current level of the Bank’s free float that is held by foreign investors approaches this 20.0% limit, the ability to resell to foreign investors shares of the Bank, and therefore the liquidity of such shares, may be adversely effected.

The Bank’s international operations are concentrated principally in Europe, United States of America, Japan and Latin America. Any changes in these countries’ economy may adversely affect the Bank’s business.

One of the Bank’s strategies is to expand internationally. Any adverse conditions in the economy of the foreign countries in which the Bank operates, either in Europe, North America, Latin America or Asia, may have

effects on the Bank’s business. The main factors that may impact the Bank include a reduction in the volume of foreign trade operations of Brazilian companies established abroad, as well as of foreign companies that have a commercial relationship with Brazil, which causes a decrease in revenues and a consequent decrease in the income of the Bank’s international network. Depending on the market affected, the Bank’s customers’ profile and the nature of the economic disruption, the Bank may experience a decrease in the number of customers, which happens usually, but not solely, in the marketplaces where the Bank operates primarily with individuals. Another consequence would be a decrease in the spread of the operations that are maintained in a crisis scenario and that are directly affected by changes in interest rates, causing a reduction in income of the Bank’s network. Another risk factor that may affect the Bank’s profitability is related to changes to banking regulation of the countries in which the Bank operates.

Recently, the Bank acquired Banco Patagonia in Argentina and received authorization from the United States Federal Reserve to operate as a financial holding company. If the Bank continues to pursue its strategy of expanding its operations abroad, a change in the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Bank has international operations may result in a material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations in those jurisdictions.

Risks Relating to Brazil

Brazil’s economy remains vulnerable to external factors, which could have a material adverse effect on Brazil’s economic growth and on the Bank’s business and results of operations.

The disruptions recently experienced in the international capital markets have led to reduced liquidity and increased credit risk premiums for certain market participants and have resulted in a reduction of available financing. Financial institutions, such as the Bank, that are located in emerging market countries may be particularly susceptible to these events, which can affect the price and availability of their funding. Because international investors’ reactions to the events occurring in one market sometimes affect other regions or disfavor certain investments, Brazil could be adversely affected by negative economic or financial developments in other countries.

In addition, the recent market volatility and disruption have been accompanied by worsening economic data in the world’s major economies. Weakening economic conditions in Brazil may, in particular, impair the ability of some of the Bank’s clients to repay debt that they owe to the Bank and/or limit the Bank’s ability to execute its strategy in the same way that it would in a period of economic growth and stability. Accordingly, the Bank’s results of operations are likely to continue to be affected by conditions in the global financial markets as long as they remain volatile and subject to disruption and uncertainty.

The Bank is subject to influence by the Federal Government, and any change to the Bank’s strategy and policies that the administration makes could adversely affect its operations or prospects.

Significant changes to economic, fiscal or other policies set by the Federal Government could have a material adverse effect on the Brazilian economy and the Bank’s business and financial results.

The Federal Government appoints a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank. See “Management—Board of Directors.” In addition, the Federal Government and the Bank has authority to implement and have implemented certain measures intended to set compensation levels for the Bank for operations with the Federal Government. There can be no assurance that the Federal Government will maintain the current strategy and policies with respect to the Bank in the future. For instance, the Bank may be required to engage in subsidized lending, increase lending to less profitable sectors of the economy or otherwise adopt policies that negatively affect profitability or credit quality. Any change to the Bank’s strategy and policies could adversely affect the business, operations or prospects of the Bank.

The market for Brazilian securities is subject to a high degree of volatility due to developments and perceptions of risks in other countries.

The market for securities issued by Brazilian companies is influenced by economic and market conditions in Brazil, as well as, to varying degrees, market conditions in other Latin American and emerging market countries, and the United States. Although economic conditions differ in each country, the reaction of investors to developments in one country may cause the capital markets in other countries to fluctuate.

Developments or economic conditions in other emerging market countries have at times significantly affected the availability of credit to the Brazilian economy and resulted in considerable outflows of funds and decrease in the amount of foreign investments in Brazil. Crises in other emerging market countries may diminish investor interest in securities of Brazilian issuers, including the Bank’s, which could adversely affect the market price of the Bank’s common shares.

The Federal Government exercises influence over the Brazilian economy and governmental actions may adversely affect the Brazilian markets and the Bank’s business.

The Brazilian economy has been affected by frequent and significant intervention by the Federal Government, which has often changed monetary, tax, credit, tariff and other policies to influence Brazil’s economy. Changes in banking services regulations, exchange controls, taxation and other policies could adversely affect the business and financial results of the Bank, as could inflation, currency devaluation, social instability and other political, economic and diplomatic developments, as well as the Federal Government’s response to such developments.

Uncertainty over whether the Federal Government will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets and in prices of securities of Brazilian issuers. The Bank cannot predict what future fiscal, monetary, social security and other policies will be adopted by the current Federal administration or future Brazilian administrations. The upcoming presidential elections and political and economic transition in Brazil may result in policy changes that may adversely affect the Bank’s business and financial results. The Bank cannot predict whether any future policies will result in adverse consequences to the Brazilian economy, the Bank’s business, results of operations or financial condition or prospects.

The Bank’s ability to make timely payments may be restricted by liquidity constraints in Brazil.

The Brazilian economy has been subject to a number of developments or conditions that have significantly affected the availability of credit. External factors, including the Russian economic crisis of 1998, the Brazilian economic crisis of 1999, the Argentine economic crisis in 2001, elections in Brazil in 2002 and the recent global financial crisis have from time to time resulted in significant outflows of funds and decreases in the amount of foreign currency being invested in Brazil. In addition, to control inflation in general, the Federal Government has maintained a tight monetary policy, with associated high interest rates, and has constrained the growth of credit. The combination of these developments has made it difficult for certain companies and financial institutions in Brazil to obtain cash and other liquid assets and has resulted in the failure of a number of weaker financial institutions in Brazil. In addition, concerns as to the stability of some financial institutions have caused significant transfers of deposits from smaller banks to larger banks since the beginning of 1995. No assurance can be given that these disruptions in the Brazilian economy will not adversely affect the ability of certain direct and indirect clients of the Bank to make timely payments on their obligations to the Bank or otherwise adversely affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank.

The profitability of the businesses of the Bank could be adversely affected by a worsening of domestic or global economic conditions.

The profitability of the Bank could be adversely affected by a worsening of general economic conditions domestically or globally. Factors such as interest rates, inflation, investor sentiment, the availability and cost of

credit, the liquidity of the global financial markets and the level and volatility of equity prices could affect the activity level of clients. GDP growth in Brazil was (0.2%), 5.1%, 6.1% and 4.0% in 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Average unemployment in Brazil was 8.9%, 7.9%, 9.3% and 10.0% as of December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, according to the estimates of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística or “IBGE”).

The Bank is subject to foreign exchange rate instability, including devaluation of the real, which may adversely affect the Bank.

In the past, the Federal Government implemented various economic plans and used a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments ranged from daily to monthly), floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. More recently, the exchange devaluations have resulted in significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. Dollar and other currencies. As of December 31, 2009, the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. Dollar was R$1.74 per US$1.00, representing a 25.6% appreciation of the real since December 31, 2008, according to the Central Bank. On March 31, 2010, the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. Dollar was R$1.78 to US$1.00, according to the Central Bank. The Bank cannot be certain that the exchange rate between the real and the U.S. Dollar will stabilize at current levels.

As of March 31, 2010, approximately 15.4% of assets and 15.8% of the Bank’s liabilities were linked to the Euro, Japanese Yen, the United Kingdom pound and the U.S. Dollar. Depreciation of the real in relation to the U.S. Dollar may result in significant adverse effects on the Bank’s activities, since it increases the cost of foreign funding required for settling the Bank’s obligations expressed or indexed to the U.S. Dollar. Additionally, a depreciation of the real would also impair the ability of the Bank’s clients to pay their obligations expressed or indexed to the U.S. Dollar. Any depreciation would also reduce the U.S. Dollar value of distributions and dividends and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the market price of the Bank’s common shares.

Depreciations of the real relative to the U.S. Dollar could also create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil that may adversely affect the Bank. Depreciations generally make it more difficult to access foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. In contrast, appreciation of the real against the U.S. Dollar may lead to a deterioration of Brazil’s current account and the balance of payments, as well as to a dampening of export-driven growth. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect the Bank.

Exchange controls implemented by the Federal Government could adversely affect the business, operations or prospects of the Bank.

The purchase and sale of foreign currency in Brazil is subject to Central Bank regulation. The Central Bank currently authorizes the conversion of Brazilian currency into foreign currency in most situations, except in connection with certain regulated transactions including investments in the international capital markets and cross-border derivative contracts by consumers or companies.

The new Central Bank regulation maintained the following federal law requirements, among others:

 

   

required use of local currency;

 

   

mandatory registration with the Central Bank;

 

   

required use of foreign exchange contracts; and

 

   

rules for foreign capital registration.

It is uncertain whether in the future the Federal Government will institute a more restrictive exchange control policy such as the provisions set forth in Law No. 4,131 of September 3, 1962. Many factors beyond the Bank’s control may affect the likelihood of the Federal Government’s imposition of such restrictions at any time. Among such factors are:

 

   

the extent of Brazil’s foreign currency reserves;

 

   

the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due;

 

   

the size of Brazil’s debt service burden relative to the economy as a whole; and

 

   

any other political constraints to which Brazil may be subject.

Any such restrictions may adversely affect the Bank’s business, operations or prospects and its ability to make payments in U.S. Dollars and other foreign currencies to meet its foreign currency obligations abroad under foreign currency-denominated liabilities.

If Brazil experiences substantial inflation in the future, there may be an adverse effect on the Bank’s results of operations and its financial condition.

In the past, Brazil has experienced high rates of inflation. Certain actions taken by the Federal Government to combat inflation have had negative effects on the Brazilian economy. Annual inflation rates were 8.9% in 1999, 6.0% in 2000, 7.7% in 2001, 12.5% in 2002, 9.3% in 2003, 7.6% in 2004, 5.7% in 2005, 3.1% in 2006, 4.5% in 2007, 5.9% in 2008 and 4.3% in 2009, respectively, as measured by the IPCA. The inflation rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 2.1%. The Federal Government’s measures to control inflation have often included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and reducing economic growth. Inflation, along with government measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible future government measures, has had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy, and contributed to increase economic uncertainty in Brazil and heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities market, which may have an adverse effect on the Bank.

If Brazil experiences substantial inflation in the future, the Bank’s results of operations may be adversely affected, negatively impacting the Bank’s ability to comply with its obligations. Inflationary pressures could also reduce the Bank’s ability to access foreign financial markets and lead to further government intervention in the economy, including the introduction of policies that adversely affect the performance of the Brazilian economy as a whole, and consequently, the Bank’s operations.

New accounting policies requiring the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) may negatively affect the Bank’s financial results.

Law No. 11,638, published on December 28, 2007, and Law No. 11,941 of May 27, 2009 amended and restated the Brazilian Corporations Law thereby introducing the process of converting financial statements into IFRS. Accordingly, the Bank will change its accounting standard to IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Following the amendment, the Central Bank issued resolutions and adopted interpretative statements issued by the Accounting Standards Committee, CPC. The Bank has implemented these changes without significant effect on its financial statements and results.

The CPC has recently issued new interpretative statements that, if adopted by Central Bank, may materially affect the Bank’s financial statements, potentially impacting the Bank’s accounting results and dividend distributions.

Risks Relating to the Bank’s Common Shares

The relative volatility and illiquidity of the Brazilian securities markets may substantially limit an investor’s ability to sell its common shares at the price and time it desires.

Investments in securities, such as the common shares, inherently pose risks due to fluctuations in price. Accordingly, by investing in the common shares, investors will be subject to the volatility of the capital markets.

Investing in securities in emerging markets, such as Brazil, often involves greater risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries and such investments are generally considered more speculative in nature. The Brazilian securities markets are substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and more volatile than major U.S. and European securities markets. On December 31, 2009, the aggregate market capitalization of BM&FBOVESPA was equivalent to approximately R$2.3 trillion (US$1.3 trillion), with an average daily trading volume in the amount of R$5.3 trillion for the year ended December 31, 2009. There is significant concentration in the Brazilian securities markets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the ten most actively traded issues represented approximately 44.8% of the total volume of shares traded on BM&FBOVESPA.

The Brazilian securities market may limit an investor’s ability to resell the Bank’s common shares at the price and time it desires, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Bank’s common shares.

The actual market price of the Bank’s common shares may fluctuate because of several factors, including those described in these risk factors or any other factors related to the Bank’s results of operations.

Investors may experience immediate dilution of their investment if they do not exercise their preemptive rights.

The Bank’s current shareholders will be entitled to preemptive rights, in accordance with Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporations Law and the Bank’s bylaws. If current shareholders do not exercise their preemptive rights, they will experience dilution of their shares in the Bank. In addition, in the future the Bank may offer additional shares and current shareholders may not receive preemptive rights with respect to those shares, and therefore their shares in the Bank could be further diluted. See “Dilution.”

Additionally, U.S. holders of the shares may not be able to exercise any preemptive rights in respect of shares held by them, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective in respect to such rights or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder is available. There can be no assurance that the Bank will file a registration statement or qualify for an exemption from the registration requirement under the Securities Act. If a U.S. holder of shares cannot exercise its preemptive rights, its investment in the Bank will be diluted. See “Dilution.”

Substantial sales of the Bank’s common shares in the future could cause the market price of the Bank’s common shares to decline.

The Brazilian National Treasury, the Bank’s Controlling Shareholder, is not subject to these restrictions and may freely transfer its shares at any time. Accordingly, if the Brazilian National Treasury decides to sell a part or the totality of shares issued by the Bank, the market price of common shares issued by the Bank may be adversely affected.

Holders of the Bank’s common shares may not receive any dividends.

The Bank’s by-laws set forth that the Bank must pay its shareholders a minimum mandatory semi-annual distribution equal to at least 25% of net income (as adjusted under applicable law) unless its board of directors decides otherwise and has the consent of its shareholders. Nonetheless, the Bank’s net income may be

 

- 20 -


used to offset losses, increase the Bank’s capital stock or create reserves, as set forth in the Brazilian Corporations Law, and may not be made available for payment of dividends or distribution of interest on the Bank’s share capital. Additionally, the Bank may not pay dividends to shareholders in any year if the board of directors decides that the Bank has no net income (or accumulated profits) sufficient for distribution of dividends or that such payment would not be advisable in view of the Bank’s financial condition.

The terms of the Bank’s perpetual securities contain restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends and interest on capital and to redeem its shares.

In January 2006, the Bank issued perpetual non-cumulative junior subordinated securities in the aggregate amount of US$500 million (the “Perpetual Securities”). The terms of the Perpetual Securities allow the Bank to suspend its quarterly payments of interest and/or other non-principal payments on the Perpetual Securities if: (i) the Bank determines that it is, or that such payment would cause it to be, in breach of applicable capital adequacy requirements or below applicable financial ratio levels, (ii) the Central Bank or certain other governmental or regulatory authorities determine the suspension of payments of such charges; (iii) insolvency or bankruptcy events occur, (iv) certain events of default occur, or (v) the Bank elects to suspend such payment for any other reason.

In the event that the Bank elects to defer interest or other non-principal payments on its Perpetual Securities pursuant to item (v) above, the terms of the Perpetual Securities provide that the Bank may not recommend the payment of dividends to its Shareholders, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and will be subject to restrictions on its ability to redeem or otherwise acquire its common shares.

Accordingly, holders of the Bank’s common shares may not receive dividends or interest on capital in addition to the mandatory minimum determined by legislation in force, as a result of the Bank’s election, pursuant to item (v) above not to make payments on its Perpetual Securities. The non-payment of these dividends and interest on invested capital may also adversely affect the stock market price of the Bank’s common shares.

The Bank may need to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of securities, which could affect the price of the Bank’s common shares and dilute the ownership interests of investors.

The Bank may need to raise additional capital in the future through the public or private issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities. Any such subsequent issuance of public or private equity or convertible debt securities could affect the price of the Bank’s common shares and have a dilutive effect on the book value of investors’ shares. See “Dilution.”

The issuance of shares arising from the conversion of Series C Warrants or any strategy to acquire other banks will cause a dilution in the investors’ ownership percentage and may adversely affect the market price of shares of the Bank.

The Bank may issue shares under its strategy to acquire/merge other banks in view of their merger into the Bank, which would also cause a dilution in the Bank’s shareholders’ ownership percentage. The Bank cannot estimate, as of the date of this reference form limited translation, if and when it will issue shares in view of such mergers or, if these shares are to be issued, their total amounts.

Accordingly, the market price of shares issued by the Bank may be adversely affected by any such possible dilutions, which would limit the investor’s ability to resell the shares at the desired price. See “Dilution.”

 

- 21 -


Holders of the Bank’s common shares may face difficulties in serving process on or enforcing judgments against the banks and other persons.

The Bank is incorporated under the laws of Brazil, and all of the board members, executive officers and independent public accountants reside or are based in Brazil. Most of the Bank’s assets and those of these other persons are located in Brazil. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process upon the Bank or these other persons within the United States or other jurisdictions outside Brazil. Because judgments of U.S. courts for civil liabilities based upon the U.S. federal securities laws may only be enforced in Brazil if certain conditions are met, investors may face greater difficulties in protecting their interests in the case of actions by the Bank or the Bank’s board of directors or executive officers than would shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

The protections afforded to minority shareholders in Brazil are different from those in the United States and may be more difficult to enforce.

Under Brazilian law, the protections afforded to minority shareholders are different from those in the United States. In particular, the legal framework and case law pertaining to disputes between shareholders and the Bank, its directors, its officers or its controlling shareholder, if any, is less developed under Brazilian law than U.S. law and there are different procedural requirements for bringing shareholder lawsuits, such as shareholder derivative suits, which differ from those you may be familiar with under U.S. and other laws. There is also a substantially less active plaintiffs’ bar dedicated to the enforcement of shareholders’ rights in Brazil than in the United States. As a result, in practice it may be more difficult for the Bank’s minority shareholders to enforce their rights against the Bank or its directors or controlling shareholders than it would be for shareholders of a U.S. company.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Prior to March 14, 2005, there were two legal foreign exchange markets in Brazil in which rates were freely negotiated but could be strongly influenced by Central Bank intervention:

 

   

the commercial rate exchange market, which was primarily dedicated to foreign trade transactions and transactions that generally required prior approval from Brazilian monetary authorities, such as the buying and selling of registered investments by foreign entities, the purchase or sale of shares, or the payment of dividends or interest with respect to shares; and

 

   

the floating rate exchange market, which was generally applied to specific transactions that required prior Central Bank approval and were not conducted through the commercial rate exchange market.

On March 4, 2005, the CMN enacted Resolution No. 3,265, pursuant to which the commercial rate exchange market and the floating rate exchange market were unified in a sole exchange market, effective as of March 14, 2005. The new regulation allows, subject to certain procedures and specific regulatory provisions, the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of reais by a foreign person or company, without limitation as to amount. However, the underlying transaction must be valid. Foreign currencies may only be purchased through financial institutions domiciled in Brazil and authorized to operate in the exchange market.

The real depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 15.7% in 2001 and 34.3% in 2002. Although the real appreciated 22.3%, 8.8%, 13.4%, 9.5% and 20.7% against the U.S. dollar in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively, in 2008, as a result of the international financial and economic crisis, the real depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 24.0%. In 2009, the real appreciated by 25.5% against the U.S. dollar. On March 31, 2010, the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate was R$1.7810 per US$1.00.

In the past, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and utilized a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluation, periodic mini-devaluation during which the frequency of adjustments ranged from a daily to a monthly basis, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. The Bank cannot predict whether the Central Bank or the Brazilian government will continue to let the real float freely or intervene in the exchange rate market by returning to a currency band system or otherwise. The real may depreciate or appreciate substantially against the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and the market price of the Bank’s common shares. The Bank is subject to foreign exchange rate instability, including devaluation of the real, which may adversely affect the Bank.

The following tables provide information on the exchange rate, expressed in reais per U.S. dollar (R$/US$) for the periods indicated, as reported by the Central Bank.

Brazilian law provides that, whenever there is a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments or there are serious reasons to foresee a serious imbalance, temporary restrictions may be imposed on remittances of foreign capital abroad. The Bank cannot assure you that such measures will not be taken by the Brazilian government in the future.

DILUTION

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank’s consolidated stockholders’ equity was R$37,645.9 million and stockholders’ equity per common share was R$14.65. Stockholders’ equity per common share represents the consolidated net book value of the Bank’s stockholders’ equity, divided by the total number of common shares the Bank has issued.

The Bank has Series C Warrants outstanding in the amount of 5,880,483 as of March 31, 2010. The exercise of these warrants would result in an increase of approximately 7.16% of the stockholders’ equity interests. For further information, see “Description of Capital Stock” and “Risk Factors.”

In addition, the Bank’s current shareholders will be entitled to preemptive rights, in accordance with Article 171 of the Brazilian Corporations Law and the Bank’s bylaws. If current shareholders do not exercise their preemptive rights, they will experience dilution of their shares in the Bank. In addition, in the future the Bank may offer additional shares and current shareholders may not receive preemptive rights with respect to those shares, and therefore their shares in the Bank could be further diluted.

Additionally, U.S. holders of the shares may not be able to exercise any preemptive rights in respect of shares held by them, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective in respect to such rights or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder is available. There can be no assurance that the Bank will file a registration statement or qualify for an exemption from the registration requirement under the Securities Act. If a U.S. holder of shares cannot exercise its preemptive rights, its investment in the Bank will be diluted. For further information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Bank’s Common Shares”.

An increase (or decrease) of R$1.00 in the price of R$25.78 per share, based on the closing price of the Bank’s common shares on BM&FBOVESPA on May 24, 2010 would increase (or decrease), after the conclusion of this offering: (i) the amount of the Bank’s shareholders’ equity by R$286.0 million; (ii) the shareholders’ equity per share by R$1.20; and (iii) dilution of the shareholders’ equity per share by R$10.93 for new investors, after the payment of fees and expenses as a result of this offering.

Trading on the Brazilian Stock Exchanges

The common shares are traded on the BM&FBOVESPA, which is a closely-held company owned by Bovespa Holdings S.A., which is a publicly-held company. Trading on such exchanges is limited to brokerage firms and a limited number of authorized non-members with access to the BM&FBOVESPA negotiation system.

 

- 27 -


The CVM and BM&FBOVESPA have discretionary authority to suspend trading in shares of a particular issuer under certain circumstances. Trading in securities listed on BM&FBOVESPA, including the Novo Mercado and Levels 1 and 2 of Differentiated Corporate Governance, may be effected off the exchanges in the unorganized over-the-counter market in certain circumstances.

The common shares of all companies listed on BM&FBOVESPA, including the Novo Mercado and Level 1 and Level 2 segments are traded together.

Settlement of transactions occurs three business days after the trade date. Delivery of and payment for shares is made through the facilities of separate clearing houses for each exchange, which maintain accounts for the member brokerage firms. The seller is ordinarily required to deliver the shares to the clearing house on the third business day following the trade date. The clearing house for BM&FBOVESPA is the CBLC.

In order to reduce volatility, BM&FBOVESPA has adopted a “circuit breaker” system pursuant to which trading sessions may be suspended for a period of 30 minutes or one hour whenever specified indices of BM&FBOVESPA fall below the limits of 10% and 15%, respectively, in relation to the index levels for the previous trading session.

Although the Brazilian equity market is Latin America’s largest in terms of market capitalization, it is smaller and less liquid than the major U.S. and European securities markets. Moreover, BM&FBOVESPA is less liquid than the New York Stock Exchange and other major exchanges in the world. BM&FBOVESPA had a market capitalization of approximately US$1.33 trillion as of December 31, 2009 and an average monthly trading volume of approximately US$3.03 billion in 2009. In comparison, the New York Stock Exchange had a market capitalization of US$11.8 trillion as of December 31, 2009 and an average monthly trading volume of approximately US$70.6 billion in 2009.

Trading on Brazilian stock exchanges by non-residents of Brazil is subject to registration procedures. See “—Investment in the Common Shares by Non-Residents of Brazil.”

Regulation of Brazilian Securities Markets

The Brazilian securities markets are principally governed by Law No. 6,385, of December 7, 1976, and Brazilian Corporations Law, each as amended and supplemented, and by regulations issued by the CVM, which has authority over stock exchanges and the securities markets generally; the CMN; and the Central Bank, which has, among other powers, licensing authority over brokerage firms and regulates foreign investment and foreign exchange transactions.

These laws and regulations, among others, provide for licensing and oversight of brokerage firms, governance of Brazilian stock exchanges, disclosure requirements applicable to issuers of traded securities, restrictions on price manipulation and protection of minority shareholders. They also provide for restrictions on insider trading. However, the Brazilian securities markets are not as highly regulated and supervised as the U.S. securities markets or securities markets in some other jurisdictions. Accordingly, any trades or transfers of the Bank’s equity securities by its officers and directors, the Bank’s controlling shareholders or any of the officers and directors of its controlling shareholders must comply with the regulations issued by the CVM, in particular CVM Instruction No. 358. See “Description of Capital Stock—Policy for internal release of information.”

Under Brazilian Corporations Law, a corporation is either public (Companhia aberta), such as the Bank, or closely held (Companhia fechada). All public companies are registered with CVM and are subject to reporting requirements. The common shares are listed with the Novo Mercado of BM&FBOVESPA, the rules of which impose stricter disclosure requirements than the standard BM&FBOVESPA listing.

 

- 28 -


The Bank has the option to ask that trading in securities on BM&FBOVESPA be suspended in anticipation of a material announcement. Trading may also be suspended on the initiative of BM&FBOVESPA or the CVM, based on or due to, among other reasons, a belief that a company has provided inadequate information regarding a material event or has provided inadequate responses to inquiries by the CVM or BM&FBOVESPA.

The Brazilian over-the-counter market consists of direct trades between individuals in which a financial institution registered with the CVM serves as intermediary. No special application, other than registration with the CVM, is necessary for securities of a public company to be traded in this market. The CVM requires that it be given notice of all trades carried out in the Brazilian over-the-counter market by the respective intermediaries.

Investment in the Common Shares by Non-Residents of Brazil

Investors residing outside Brazil are authorized to purchase equity instruments, including the common shares, on BM&FBOVESPA provided that they comply with the registration requirements set forth in CMN Resolution No. 2,689/00 and CVM Instruction No. 325.

With certain limited exceptions, CMN Resolution No. 2,689/00 investors are permitted to carry out any type of transaction in the Brazilian financial capital markets involving a security traded on a stock, future or organized over-the-counter market. Investments and remittances outside Brazil of gains, dividends, profits or other payments under the common shares are made through the commercial rate exchange market.

In order to become a CMN Resolution No. 2,689/00 investor, an investor residing outside Brazil must:

 

   

appoint a representative in Brazil with powers to take actions relating to the investment;

 

   

appoint an authorized custodian in Brazil for the investments, which must be a financial institution duly authorized by the Central Bank and the CVM; and

 

   

through its representative, register itself as a foreign investor with the CVM and the investment with the Central Bank.

Securities and other financial assets held by foreign investors pursuant to Resolution No. 2,689/00 must be registered or maintained in deposit accounts or under the custody of an entity duly licensed by the Central Bank or CVM. In addition, securities trading by foreign investors is generally restricted to transactions involving securities listed on the Brazilian stock exchanges or traded in organized over-the-counter markets licensed by CVM.

Please refer to “Taxation” for a description of the Brazilian tax consequences to an investor residing outside Brazil of investing in the common shares.

The following financial data should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the accompanying notes, “Presentation of Financial and Other Information,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this reference form limited translation. The Bank’s Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP as described in “Presentation of Financial and Other Information.” See “Risk Factors—Risks relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry.” Changes in accounting practices adopted in Brazil due to its convergence with international accounting practices (IFRS) may adversely affect the Bank’s financial results.

The assets and liabilities of Nossa Caixa were consolidated into the Bank’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2009, and the results of operations of Nossa Caixa were included in the Bank’s consolidated financial statements as from April 1, 2009.

The assets and liabilities of Banco Votorantim, in proportion to the Bank’s share in total capital stock, have been consolidated into the Bank’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2009.

OTHER STATISTICAL AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following information is included for analytical purposes and should be read together with the Bank’s Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein as well as with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The financial and statistical information presented herein refers to the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Data related to the average balance of the Bank’s interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and other assets and liabilities have been calculated based upon the average of the month-end balances during the relevant period. Likewise, information related to the interest income and expenses generated from the Bank’s assets and liabilities and the average return rate for each of the periods indicated have been calculated based on income and expenses for the period, divided by the average balances calculated as indicated above. The Bank’s average volume and balance data has been calculated based upon the average of the month-end balances during the relevant period.

Average Balance Sheet and Interest Rate Data

The following table presents the average balances of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other assets and liabilities accounts, the related interest income and expense amounts and the average actual yield/rate for each period.

The interest accrued on typical Brazilian financial assets and liabilities comprise both nominal interest rates and any monetary correction. Any such monetary correction may be the result of changing to an inflation index, changes to foreign exchange rates (usually against the U.S. dollar) or changing to other floating interest rates. The nominal interest rate and monetary correction accrue at the end of each month to the principal balance of each operation. The updated value then becomes the new basis for the accrual of the following month’s nominal interest rate and monetary correction.

(1)

Calculated based on the average of the month-end balances during the relevant period.

(2)

Interest calculated based on adjusted income from loans plus the sum of leasing income and expenses, less recovery of written-off loans, net of the assignment of credits to Ativos S.A. The Bank believes that the adjustment is helpful in order to present income from securities excluding non-recurring items in order to enhance year-on-year comparability. Adjusted income from securities is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and it does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. As the average balances have been calculated on an actual basis, and the interest has been calculated on an adjusted basis, the annual rate does not measure the rate of the average assets, but the ratio of adjusted income to average actual assets.

Changes in Interest Income and Expenses—Volume and Rate Analysis

The following table shows the changes in the Bank’s interest income and expense due to changes in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in the average interest rate on these assets and liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008; and for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. Volume variations have been calculated based on changes of the Bank’s average balances over the relevant period, and interest rate variations have been calculated based on changes in average interest rates on the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The average rate variation was calculated by the variation in the interest rate in the period multiplied by the average balance of assets generating income or by the average balance of liabilities generating expenses in the previous period. The net variation is the difference between the interest income of the present period and that of the previous period. The variation by average volume is the difference between the net variation and that resulting from the average rate.

(1)

Change in interest income (interest-earning assets) or interest expense (interest-bearing liabilities) that have occurred due to fluctuations in volumes, calculated by subtracting the net change from the average rate.

(2)

Change in interest income (profitable assets) or interest expense (interest-bearing liabilities) that have occurred due to fluctuations in rates, calculated according to the following formula: (interest for the current period/balance of the current period) x balance of the previous period)—(Interest for the previous Period).

(3)

Total change in income from interest (interest-earning assets) or interest expense (interest-bearing liabilities) occurring due to fluctuation in volume and rate calculated by subtracting the interest for the current period from the interest for the previous period.

(4)

Total is not the sum of the interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, because the calculations of fluctuations due to the rate and volume of each item are not weighted. Thus, total amounts refer to only changes on account of rate and volume of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following discussion contains an analysis of the consolidated results of operations of the Bank for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the reports and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The Financial Statements of Banco do Brasil have been prepared in accordance with Brazilian GAAP. The accounting practices adopted by Brazilian GAAP differ from those adopted by International Financial Reporting Standards and US GAAP. Certain information included herein is derived from unaudited management accounting records.

Brazilian Economic Conditions

The financial condition and results of operations of the Bank are directly affected by general economic conditions prevailing in Brazil and are especially affected by variables, such as GDP, inflation, interest rates, exchange rate variations and Federal Government tax policies. Additionally, the development of the Brazilian economy affects the demand for banking products and services.

Until the onset of the global financial crisis in mid-2008, the Brazilian economy’s main indicators had improved significantly. In 2007, President Luís Inácio Lula da Silva began his second four-year term of office. He has continued to implement the macroeconomic policies set forth during his first term, including a focus on fiscal responsibility. In this second term, Brazil launched the Economic Acceleration Program (Programa de Aceleração Econâmica or “PAC”), which contemplates, among other initiatives, important infrastructure investments.

The beginning of 2007 brought positive indicators for the Brazilian economy. The Brazilian government conducted a review of the calculation methodology of the GDP, which caused a substantial improvement in its related multiples and resulted in increased optimism that Brazil would be rated as “investment grade” earlier than previously anticipated. The real/U.S. Dollar exchange rate appreciated by 17.2% in 2007, reaching R$1.77 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006. Inflation, as measured by the IPCA and the IGP-M, was 4.5% and 7.8%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007, which enabled the Central Bank to maintain lower interest rates. As of December 31, 2007, the SELIC rate was 11.18%. As a result of this favorable economic scenario, Brazil’s GDP grew 6.1% in 2007.

On April 30, 2008, Standard & Poor’s raised the sovereign long-term credit rating of Brazil’s foreign currency debt from BB+ to BBB-, giving Brazil’s debt investment grade status. On May 29, 2008, Fitch Ratings upgraded Brazil to investment grade, raising its rating from BB+ to BBB, and on September 22, 2009, Moody’s upgraded long-term Brazilian debt to investment grade, raising its rating to Baa3. These upgrades led to the increased inflow of foreign investment into Brazil, which contributed to the appreciation of the real. Nevertheless, the rating agencies have highlighted weaknesses in fiscal policy, including the higher Brazilian debt/GDP ratio as compared to countries with the same credit rating, along with structural impediments to growth and investment.

The effects of the global financial crisis in Brazil in 2008 and 2009 were moderate in comparison with the effects of previous crises. While liquidity in the Brazilian banking industry was affected by the global financial crisis, the Central Bank provided liquidity to the Brazilian market during this period. Brazil’s GDP grew 5.1% in 2008, decreased 0.2% in 2009. In addition, Brazilian GDP was 9.0% higher in the first three months of 2010 as compared with the same period of 2009.

The real depreciated against the U.S. Dollar by 31.9% in 2008. During 2009, the real appreciated against the U.S. Dollar and as of December 31, 2009 the real/U.S. Dollar exchange rate was R$1.74 per

US$1.00, which reflected an increase of 25.5% compared to December 2008. In the first quarter of 2010, due to uncertainties in international financial markets, especially relating to the estimates for global economic recovery, the real depreciated 2.3% against the U.S. dollar. Inflation, as measured by the IPCA and the IGP-M, was 5.9% and 9.8%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008. The trend of periodic reductions of interest rates was temporarily reversed during 2008 when the Brazilian Committee for Monetary Policy (Comitê de Política Monetária or “COPOM”) increased the target SELIC rate by 250 basis points. As a result, the SELIC rate was 13.66% as of December 31, 2008. However, in response to the effects of the financial crisis in the Brazilian economy, in 2009 the COPOM began reducing the SELIC rate again and, as of December 31, 2009, the SELIC rate was 8.65%. The SELIC rate remained at 8.65% as of March 31, 2010.

Key Factors Affecting the Comparability of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Condition and Consolidated Results of Operations

As a result of the following factors, the Bank’s consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of and for certain of the financial periods discussed in this reference form limited translation may not be directly comparable with the Bank’s consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of and for other financial periods discussed herein or as of and for future financial periods.

Acquisition of Nossa Caixa

On December 19, 2008, the Bank entered into a share purchase agreement with the State of São Paulo to acquire a controlling interest in Nossa Caixa (76,262,912 common shares, representing 71.25% of its total and voting share capital) at the price of R$70.63 per share, totaling R$5.4 billion. See “Business—Recent Relevant Acquisitions and Partnerships” for further information

On March 10, 2009, the Central Bank of Brazil declared that its Executive Board, approved the transfer of the shareholding control of Nossa Caixa S.A. on that same date.

The transaction primarily allowed the Bank to: (i) strengthen its presence in the State of São Paulo, where the Bank has the most branches; (ii) expand its client base and credit operations in the State of São Paulo; (iii) act as the financial agent of the State of São Paulo; (iv) expand its lower-cost deposit base; and (v) expand services with better profitability for Nossa Caixa’s customers, among others.

The total amount owed by the Bank to the State of São Paulo was R$5,387 million (or R$70.63 per share), payable in 18 monthly installments of R$299,250,000 adjusted by the SELIC rate applied from November 20, 2008 until the date of payment. The acquisition price was calculated based on an economic and financial analysis, including an assessment of the future profitability prospects of Nossa Caixa, and a discounted cash flow analysis, pursuant to the Brazilian Corporations Law. For a description of the accounting treatment of amounts owed for the acquisition of Nossa Caixa, see Notes 5(a) and 20(f) of the Financial Statements.

In accordance with CVM Resolution 506/2006, the Bank recorded the investment and related goodwill in its financial statements, and Nossa Caixa recorded an adjustment due to the estimates of the Bank. The Bank recorded an investment of R$2,956.7 million and goodwill of R$4,961.0 million on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2009. These amounts were determined based on information and best estimates available to the Bank. The Bank is currently conducting a review of the determination of these amounts to determine any necessary adjustments to be made in future periods. For a description of the amounts owed in future periods for the acquisition of Nossa Caixa, see Notes 5 and 14 to the Financial Statements.

Consolidation of non-financial affiliated companies and subsidiaries

On March 1, 2008, the Bank started proportionally consolidating its non-financial affiliated companies and non-financial subsidiaries as recommended by the Central Bank. For further information regarding the entities that were consolidated see Note 2 to the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

Sale of Visanet (newly renamed Cielo) holdings

On June 30, 2009, the Bank announced the sale of part of its holdings, through BB Investimentos, in Visanet (which has since changed its name to Cielo), a company that manages the relationship between banks and merchants for the use of credit cards carrying the “Visa” brand, in Visanet’s initial public offering of its shares. The Bank sold shares representing 7.05% of the capital stock of Visanet, resulting in revenue before taxes and expenses in the amount of R$1,415.1 million, which the Bank recorded in the Financial Statements under “Non-operating income.”

On July 8, 2009, the Bank made a further announcement that, as part of the exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters of Visanet’s initial public offering, the Bank sold additional shares in Visanet, resulting in revenue before taxes and expenses of approximately R$200.0 million. Following the sale of these shares, the Bank, through BB Investimentos, held 23.5% of the capital stock of Visanet.

On April 23, 2010, the Bank announced that it would purchase of 65% of the shares of the Brazilian Company for Solutions and Services, or CBSS, and 5.11% of the shares of Cielo from Santander Spain. If the transaction is consummated, BB-BI will pay Santander Spain R$1,100 million, R$60.8 million for the CBSS shares and R$1,039.2 million for the Cielo shares. Following the transaction, the Bank’s share in Cielo will increase from 23.54% to 28.65%, and in CBSS from 40.35% to 45.0%. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the shares is subject to satisfactory negotiation of the definitive documents and satisfaction of legal and regulatory requirements.

Acquisition of interest in Banco Votorantim

On January 9, 2009, the Bank entered into a share purchase, sale and subscription agreement with Banco Votorantim and Votorantim Finanças for (i) the purchase of 33,356,791,198 common shares of Banco Votorantim, for the amount of R$3.0 billion, and (ii) the subscription of 7,412,620,277 new non-voting shares to be issued by Banco Votorantim, in the amount of R$1.2 billion, totaling a R$4.2 billion investment. As a result of this investment, the Bank will share in the management of Banco Votorantim with Votorantim Finanças by holding 50.00% of its total share capital (consisting of 49.99% of voting share capital and 50.01% of non-voting share capital). The acquisition by the Bank of an interest in Banco Votorantim was completed on September 28, 2009. See “Business—Recent Relevant Acquisitions and Partnerships.”

The partnership allowed the Bank to: (i) increase the capacity to originate assets in the consumer financing industry, in particular vehicle financing, (ii) have access to alternative well-developed distribution channels: car dealers, partners and stores of BV Financeira, (iii) operate based on a successful model in the promotion of sales with domestic operations in the vehicle financing market, and (iv) strengthen the Bank’s position in the capital markets (Votorantim Corretora) and in the corporate segment, among others.

Factors Affecting Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As described below, the Bank’s financial performance and results of operations for the past three years have been affected by Brazilian economic volatility and the Bank’s strategy for dealing with economic and financial conditions.

 

- 53 -


Brazilian Economic Volatility

Exchange rates for the real can be highly volatile. The real experienced significant appreciation against the U.S. Dollar in 2007 and 2009, and depreciation in 2008. The real continued to appreciate against the U.S. Dollar in the first quarter of 2010. See “Foreign Exchange Rates and Exchange Controls.” However, the Bank’s consolidated financial performance is not significantly affected by the volatility of the real, due to the Bank’s selective combining of assets and liabilities in foreign currency, which serves to minimize the negative impact of exchange variations on its results.

The Bank does not play an active role in the implementation of the Brazilian government’s currency policies. The Bank trades foreign currency mostly as an agent for its clients, including the Central Bank. The Central Bank also trades foreign currency through other commercial banks and dealers.

Interest Rates

In general, increases in interest rates allow the Bank to increase its revenue from loans due to higher rates that the Bank is able to charge. However, such an increase may adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations as a result of reduced overall demand for loans and greater risk of default by the Bank’s clients. In addition, high interest rates affect the Bank’s funding costs, particularly time deposits and interbank deposits, and can adversely affect the Bank’s profitability if the Bank is unable to pass on the increased funding costs to its clients. On the other hand, a decrease in interest rates can reduce the Bank’s revenue from loans as a result of lower rates on the Bank’s loans. This revenue decrease could be offset by an increase in the volume of the Bank’s loans resulting from higher demand for loans and/or a decrease in the Bank’s funding costs.

In addition, changes in interest rates can affect the value of the Bank’s securities portfolio and therefore the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.

The following table sets out the period-end SELIC rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, as reported by the Central Bank.

Capital Adequacy

As a general rule, the Central Bank requires that banks in Brazil comply with regulations similar to those of the Basel I Accord for sufficiency or adequacy of capital (with certain exceptions, for example, the Central Bank requirement of a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 11% of risk-weighted assets as compared to the capital adequacy ratio of 8% required by the Basel II Accord). In addition, the Central Bank imposes restrictions on banks’ exposure to foreign currency. Pursuant to applicable banking regulations, the exposure of Brazilian banks in gold and in assets and liabilities indexed to foreign exchange rates cannot be greater than 30% of a bank’s adjusted stockholders’ equity. The Basel I Accord sets out capital adequacy requirements for banks based on (i) an equity capital to risk-adjusted assets test, (ii) the allocation of capital for exchange risk, and (iii) the risk of interest rate mismatches.

In June 2004, the bank supervision committee of the Bank of International Settlements (“BIS”) endorsed the publication of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards: A Revised Framework, or the “Basel II Accord.” On December 9, 2004, the Central Bank expressed its intention to adopt the Basel II Accord in Brazil. The bulletin No. 12,746/2004 indicated that the Central Bank intends to adopt the Basel II Accord gradually, seeking to incorporate provisions applicable to the Brazilian banking sector.

 

- 54 -


Furthermore, the CMN issued on June 29, 2006, Resolution No. 3, 380, which sets out procedures for the implementation of an operational risk internal structure, aimed at fostering compliance with Basel II Accord principles by Brazilian banks. Brazilian banks were required to present their proposed procedures by the end of 2006 and implement their procedures by the end of 2007.

On February 28, 2007, the CMN established the criteria for calculation of reference stockholders’ equity. In addition, on August 29, 2007, the CMN established new criteria for calculating the Required Referential Shareholders’ Equity (PRE) of financial institutions effective from July 1, 2008.

On September 27, 2007, the Central Bank set out a revised schedule for the adoption of the Basel II Accord through Communication No. 16,137, indicating that the requirements relating to the use of advanced methods for the valuation of capital will be fully implemented by the end of 2012 (including requirements relating to the allocation of capital for operating risks and changes in the allocation of capital for credit risk).

The Central Bank also imposes restrictions on banks’ exposure to foreign currencies. According to CMN Resolution No. 3,488, dated December 29, 2010, the total consolidated foreign currency and gold exposure of a financial institution cannot be higher than 30% of the regulatory capital.

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s capital ratio was 13.7%, compared to 15.6% as of December 31, 2008. The Bank’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital calculated according to the Basel II Accord criteria totaled R$41,068 million and R$18,022 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009, compared to R$31,201 million and R$12,910 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2008. See “—Capital Adequacy Information” for further data regarding the Bank’s compliance with capital adequacy regulations.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank’s capital ratio was 13.7%. The Bank’s Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital totaled R$42,489 million and R$19,997 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2010. See “—Capital Adequacy Information” for further information regarding the Bank’s compliance with capital adequacy regulations.

Following its acquisition of a 50.00% interest in the total share capital of Banco Votorantim (consisting of 49.99% of voting share capital and 50.01% of non-voting share capital), as of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s risk-weighted capital ratio was 13.7%. In addition, as the Bank’s business continues to expand, its risk-weighted capital ratio will continue to decrease unless the Bank raises additional regulatory capital. For a discussion of risks relating to the Bank’s capital adequacy ratios, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry—Acquisition of interest in Banco Votorantim.”

The Bank’s Strategy for Dealing with Changes in Economic and Financial Conditions

The Bank actively manages risks by identifying, assessing, monitoring and controlling risk exposures associated with its activities and the Brazilian economic and financial conditions or downturns. The Bank’s Management system complies with all applicable Brazilian legal and regulatory requirements and also sets out segregation levels that are more stringent than those required by applicable regulations. The main features of the Bank’s risk management system include:

 

   

managing foreign exchange risk to minimize any effects foreign exchange transactions may have on consolidated financial results;

 

   

measuring the Bank’s value at risk (VaR) limits in order to establish limits for its loan portfolio;

 

   

maintaining liquidity levels that are consistent with the Bank’s obligations in Brazil and abroad;

 

   

establishing global operational loss limits for the Bank; and

 

   

implementing the expected frequency of default (FEI), loss to default (PDI), and credit risk exposure, to measure economic capital (EC) and expected loss (PE).

 

- 55 -


The Bank performs its overall risk management by studying different scenarios and continually repositioning its business strategy to improve its competitiveness.

All decisions related to risk management are made by a committee in accordance with the guidelines and standards of the Bank. Risk Governance at Banco do Brasil, including the multiservice bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is centralized at the Global Risk Committee (CRG), consisting of members of the Board of Directors, whose main purpose is to establish strategies for risk management, global exposure limits, compliance levels and allocation of capital based on risks.

Aimed at strengthening the management process, credit risk (SRC), market and liquidity risk (SRML) and operational risk (SRO),subcommittees have been created to provide the CRG with the information and tools necessary to make certain decisions pursuant to the CRG’s delegation of authority. Decisions are communicated to the areas involved by means of resolutions that express objectively the position taken by Management, ensuring implementation at all levels of the Bank.

Adjusted Results of Operations

The Bank has included, in its discussion of its results of operations, certain line items on an adjusted basis. The purpose of this presentation is to reflect recurring income and expenses by excluding certain material non-recurring items. In presenting these adjusted line items, the Bank does not intend to exclude all non-recurring or extraordinary items, but only certain material non-recurring items, in order to give investors a sense of the Bank’s results on a recurring basis.

The line items presented on an adjusted basis are not GAAP measures under Brazilian GAAP and do not have standardized meanings. Accordingly, the Bank’s presentation of those line items on an adjusted basis may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted by the Bank are critical to understanding its results of operation and Financial Statements included elsewhere in this reference form limited translation. These accounting policies are described in detail in the notes to the Bank’s audited Financial Statements. Certain of the Bank’s accounting policies require significant managerial judgment on matters that are inherently uncertain, including the valuation of certain assets and liabilities and the adoption of estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable and significant by the Bank’s management. The Bank has established policies and control procedures intended to ensure that stringent valuation methods are applied in accordance with applicable accounting principles during the preparation of its Financial Statements for the relevant period. These policies and procedures help to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief description of the Bank’s current accounting policies which require significant managerial judgment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Pursuant to Central Bank rules, financial institutions are required to classify corporate loan transactions in nine categories, ranging from AA to H, based on credit risk. Loan ratings are the responsibility of the financial institution extending the loan and must be assigned in accordance with the following factors set forth in the CMN Resolution 2,682, of December 21, 1999: (i) characteristics of the borrower and the guarantor, such as their respective economic and financial conditions, debt level, ability to generate profit, cash flows, management and internal control level, delinquency in payments, contingencies, economic industry and credit limits; and (ii) characteristics of the transaction, such as the nature and purpose, sufficiency of collateral, liquidity level and overall loan and collateral amount. For individual loans, the loan is classified based the individual’s income, net equity and credit history (as well as other personal information).

 

- 56 -


Regulations set out, for each loan category, a minimum allowance as follows:

 

Credit Rating

  

Minimum Allowance

 

AA

   0.0

A

   0.5

B

   1.0

C

   3.0

D

   10.0

E

   30.0

F

   50.0

G

   70.0

H

   100.0

Generally, banks should review loan ratings on annual basis. However, except for loans of amounts lower than R$50,000.00, banks should review loans: (i) semi-annually for loans granted to one single borrower or economic group in amounts greater than 5% of the bank’s regulatory capital amount; and (ii) monthly for overdue loans. The rating of any loan can be upgraded if backed by a credit or downgraded upon default.

The applicable regulations set out maximum risk ratings for overdue loans as follows:

 

Days Overdue(1)

  

Maximum Risk Rating

15 to 30 days

   B

31 to 60 days

   C

61 to 90 days

   D

91 to 120 days

   E

121 to 150 days

   F

151 to 180 days

   G

Over 180 days

   H

 

(1)

The period can be counted twice in the event of loans with maturity date greater than 36 months.

Financial institutions are required to review, on a monthly basis, if loans should be reclassified as a result of such maximum risk ratings and, if so, should adjust allowances in accordance with the above.

Financial institutions are required to make credit and loan rating policies available to the Central Bank and their respective independent auditors. Financial institutions should also provide information on their respective loan portfolios along with their financial statements, including:

 

   

the distribution of loans by activities and nature of the borrower;

 

   

maturity dates of loans;

 

   

amounts of renegotiated transactions, loans recorded as loss and written-off transactions;

 

   

diversification of the loan portfolio, according to risk rating; and

 

   

overdue loans, according to those up to 15 days overdue and those over 15 days overdue.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Bank’s methodology for calculating the market value of securities uses criteria consistent and verifiable and which uses the average price for which securities are traded on the day the trades are recorded or, if such information is not available, either the daily prices of futures transactions published by ANBIMA, BM&FBOVESPA or the probable net amount from sales of the securities using interest, exchange, price and currency rates for futures available for the applicable fiscal year.

 

- 57 -


The market values of derivatives are recorded on the Bank’s monthly balance sheet. Increases and decreases are recorded as income or expense for the respective financial instruments. The Bank’s methodology for recording market prices uses criteria the Bank believes to be consistent and verifiable and which uses the average price for which the derivatives are traded on the day the trades are recorded or, when such information is not available, pricing models indicating the probable net value pursuant to the respective derivative’s characteristics.

Contingencies for Litigation

The Bank is routinely involved in legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant. In the past, the Bank has been a defendant in various lawsuits filed by customers, current and former employees and employees of the Bank’s service providers. With respect to administrative proceedings, the main plaintiffs have been the INSS, the Federal Revenue Service (Secretaria da Receita Federal) and state and municipal treasury departments. Lawsuits in which the Bank has been the plaintiff generally involved its attempt to recover overdue loans. The Bank has established controls and procedures to identify any lawsuits filed against it. The Bank believes that these legal proceedings arise in the ordinary course of its business and records an appropriate provision for all claims in accordance with applicable Brazilian regulatory requirements. See “—Methodology and Criteria for Recognizing Provisions for Contingencies” for a description of how the Bank makes these determinations.

Methodology and Criteria for Recognizing Provisions for Contingencies

The Bank’s provisioning procedures follow CVM Deliberation No. 489, which sets out the rules related to provisions, liabilities, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. Under this CVM deliberation and based on internal counsel’s opinion, the Bank must record provisions for any contingencies in which the probability of loss is greater than the probability of a favorable outcome. In addition, the Bank also takes into account the prevailing case law regarding the subject matter in question and its prior experience in resolving seminal matters.

The Bank classifies its chances of loss in labor claims through its internal system. The risk is classified as remote, possible or probable after considering the type of claim and/or type of cause of action. Such classification may be adjusted in response to each actual outcome during the lawsuit. The amounts disputed in those labor claims with a probable chance of loss are fully provisioned.

For other legal and administrative proceedings, including civil, tax and social security proceedings, the Bank’s legal counsel analyses the merits of each of the claims and assesses its chances of a favorable outcome. Based on the Bank’s counsel’s assessments, the system automatically classifies the chance of loss as remote, possible or probable. For lawsuits classified as probable losses, the amount disputed is fully provisioned.

Income and Expenses

The Bank’s principal sources of income and expenses are:

 

   

income from financial intermediation, which includes income from credit operations, leasing operations, securities and derivatives transactions, foreign exchange transactions and income generated from compulsory deposits;

 

   

expenses from financial intermediation, which include expenses relating to funds obtained in the money market, borrowing and onlendings in Brazil or abroad, as well as transactions in foreign currency and capitalization operations. These expenses also include allowances for credit losses, which are intended to adjust the value of the Bank’s loan assets for probable loan losses according to CMN Resolution No. 2,682;

 

- 58 -


   

other operating income, which includes service fees, services fees earned by and equity on the earnings of subsidiaries and other affiliated companies, as well as certain other sources of income; and

 

   

other operating expenses, which include personnel, administrative and tax expenses as well as certain other expenses.

Tax credits

The tax credits result from temporary differences due to the fact that the applicable tax legislation does not allow the inclusion of some expenses in the calculation basis of taxes when they are incurred (equity method of accounting), but rather when they are settled (cash method).

The tax credits include those related to income tax and social contribution. The realization of tax credits through the reduction of taxes payable in future years depends on the Bank’s taxable income. Banco do Brasil has adopted specific measures in order to increase its taxable income, including, among other measures, the incorporation of some activities previously performed through subsidiaries and reduction of its investments in subsidiaries abroad. However, the Bank cannot assure that the taxable income will be generated in the future in order to allow Banco do Brasil to realize these tax credits. Specific regulations of the Central Bank require that, if an entity incurs losses for three fiscal years in the previous five fiscal years, it cannot recognize a tax credit to offset tax losses or temporary differences. The Bank had taxable income in the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,059/02, as amended by CMN Resolution 3,355/08, a technical study must be periodically carried out in order to determine the realization period (consumption) of the tax credits. With respect to tax credits with a realization period greater than five years, the rule determines that those tax credits must be excluded for purposes of calculation of regulatory capital Level I, at the rate of 20.0% in 2004, 40.0% in 2005, 60.0% in 2006, 80.0% in 2007, and 100.0% in 2008. The Bank’s tax credits from temporary differences mainly relate to the provisioning, and have a long-term realization. Subsequent to January 2008, the total value of the Bank’s tax credits must not exceed 40.0% of its Level I regulatory capital. In the event the Bank does not generate taxable income in the future, it may have to offset the tax credits and the Central Bank of Brazil may request the reduction of the Bank’s assets and stockholders’ equity. Therefore, any offset or result may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.

The criteria for creating, maintaining, and writing off tax credits are established in CMN Resolution 3059/02, as amended by CMN Resolution 3,355/08. The CMN provides that financial and other institutions accredited to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank can only account for tax credits arising out of loss of income tax, negative basis of social contribution on net income, and those arising out of temporary differences, upon meeting, cumulatively, the following conditions:

 

  (i) a history of taxable income or revenues for income tax and social contribution purposes, as appropriate, as evidenced by the occurrence of these situations in at least three of the previous five fiscal years, which period is to include the fiscal year in question;

 

  (ii) future taxable income or revenues for income tax and social contribution purposes are expected to occur, as appropriate, in subsequent periods, based on an estimate, carried out in accordance with CMN Resolution No. 3,059/02, as amended by CMN Resolution No. 3,355/08, that shows the likelihood of future liabilities from taxes and contributions that allow realization of tax credits within ten years.

The Bank recorded a deferred tax credit of R$16,499.5 million and R$13,825.9 million as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, the Bank recorded receivables in respect of income tax and social contribution on net income to be offset of R$509.8 million,

compared to R$2,707.7 million as of March 31, 2009 and R$4,127.6 million, R$3,544.8 million and R$1,198.9 million as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts were recorded in the Bank’s balance sheet under “Other Receivables—Sundry.”

Long-term assets and useful lives of non-current assets

The assets under this classification are recorded in non-current assets, divided into the following subgroups: (i) long-term receivables: rights and agreements resulting from long-term operations; (ii) investments: corporate interests which comprise the Bank’s strategic plan; (iii) property, plant and equipment: assets used in the Bank’s institutional activities; and (iv) intangible assets: software use rights and services rendered in connection with the payroll of public institutions and private companies.

The useful lives of non-current assets are subject to the rules issued by the CMN and Central Bank, which establish the depreciation terms for property, plant and equipment in use. Therefore, the useful lives of these assets are as follows:

Pension plans

Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil—Previ

The Bank sponsors Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil—Previ, which provides to the participants and dependents supplementary benefits or benefits similar to the Official Basic Social Security. The plans offered through Previ are defined contribution plans (Plano Previ Futuro) or defined benefit plans (Plano de Benefícios No. 1). With respect to the latter, the system adopted for the actuarial revaluations is capitalization.

The cost of the benefits granted and to be granted is summarized as follows:

 

   

Participants admitted up to April 14, 1967, who were not retired and that on such date had no conditions for retirement, subject to the agreement between the Bank and Previ, entered into December 24, 1997 (Plano de Benefícios No. 1): the commitment for the payment of retirements in this group of participants is fully assumed by the sponsor and the reserves to guarantee the benefits related to this group are fully paid with Previ. The retirement right related to this group of participants is characterized as defined benefit.

 

   

Participants admitted between April 15, 1967 and December 23, 1997 (Plano de Benefícios No. 1): in June 2007, in view of the accumulated surplus, it was suspended, retroactively to January 2007, the contributions of the participants, beneficiaries (retired employees and pensioners) and the sponsor (Banco do Brasil). This measure must be evaluated each twelve months, with its maintenance related to the existence of Special Reserve of Plano de Benefícios No. 1, arising from the Plan’s surplus condition.

 

   

Participants admitted as from December 24, 1997 (Plano Previ Futuro): the active participants contribute with amounts between 7% and 17% of the Previ’s participation salary. The participation percentage varies in view of the time rendering services in the company and the level of the

 

- 60 -


 

participation salary. There is no contribution for inactive participants. The sponsor contributes with amounts similar to those amounts provided by the participants, limited to 14% of the salary payrolls of these participants. The retirement right for this group of participants is characterized as defined contribution.

In July 2007, a new mortality table was adopted, the complete AT-83, which table did not affect the Bank’s results, in view of the surplus recorded by Previ.

In terms of Benefits of Exclusive Responsibility of Banco do Brasil (Informal Plan), the type of which is defined benefit, the Bank is responsible for the following:

 

   

payment of the participants’ retirement and pension due to the participants’ death up to April 14, 1967;

 

   

payment of the retirement supplementation to the other Banco do Brasil participants who retired up to April 14, 1967 or that, on the same date, were able to retire because of the period of services rendered and also due to the fact that these employees rendered at least 20 years of effective services on behalf of Banco do Brasil; and

 

   

increase in the retirement and pension values in addition to the values set forth in Previ Benefits Plan, arising from judicial and administrative decision in connection with the reorganization of the plan of titles and salaries and incentives created by the Bank.

The economic assumptions adopted for actuarial calculation purposes are the same as those adopted for Previ’s Plano de Benefícios No. 1, except as regards to the adoption of the mortality table AT-83, considering that the Information Table uses the temporary table between the GAM-71 modified and GAM-83.

Fundação Codesc de Seguridade Social—FUSESC

In view of the merger of Besc S.A. and BESC S.A.—Crédito Imobiliário (Bescri) by Banco do Brasil, on December 31, 2008, the Bank assumed the sponsorship obligations of the following Private Social Security Plans:

 

   

Multifuture I—maintained by Fusesc, implemented in June 2002 with the migration of the Defined Benefit Plan’s participants; and

 

   

Defined Benefit Plan—maintained by Fusesc, since 1978, structured together with other companies, directed to its employees and dependents.

The sponsors’ normal contribution, as from December 2000, was defined as the sum of the contributions payable by the active and benefited participants, based on the ratio between the sponsors and participants’ contributions, as set forth in article 5 of Constitutional Amendment n.º 20/1998.

With respect to the actuarial determination of the Defined Benefit Plan (BD), base date as of December 31, 2008, the mortality table AT-83 was adopted.

Asset recovery test

Law No. 11,638/07 requires a periodic analysis related to the recovery of the amounts recorded in assets, mainly in property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and deferred assets. This analysis must be performed in order to record the impairment values as regards those cases in which the recoverable value is less than the carrying value of the asset, as well as to review and adjust the depreciation and amortization criteria. This matter was already approved by CVM Resolution No. 527, of November 1, 2008, and by the Central Bank of Brazil, through the approval of the Technical Pronouncement CPC 01—“Reduction to the Recoverable Value of Assets.”

 

- 61 -


The Bank performed an analysis of the recoverability of these assets, on December 31, 2008, which resulted in the recognition of provisions to adjust the recoverable value, arising from the difference determined between the carrying values and the expected contribution margin, on agreements entered into with public bodies, and the devaluations verified in connection with tangible and intangible assets—automatic bank equipment.

The impairment value is recognized in the event the accounting value of an asset or its cash generation unit exceeds its recoverable value. The cash generation unit is the smaller group of assets generating cash, which assets are, most of the time, independent from the cash of other assets or group of assets. The impairment values are recorded in the statement of income for the period.

As from 2008, the values of non-financial assets, except for tax credits and other values and assets, are reviewed, at least, on a yearly basis to determine any indication of impairment value.

Technical Pronouncements of the CPC

In 2009, the CVM issued Resolution No. 610 requiring that the Technical Pronouncements of the CPC will become effective in 2010 with retroactive application to 2009 for comparison purposes. Given that the Bank had not adopted the rules previously in 2009, this means that the significant changes to accounting practices required by the CPC’s Technical Pronouncements #15 to 40 (except for #34) and the corresponding interpretations will be reflected in only annual and interim financial statements prepared as from the year ended 2010.

The Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, however, remain prepared in accordance with the accounting practices set forth in the Brazilian Corporations Law based on the rules and instructions of the CMN, BACEN, CVM, CNSP, SUSEP and ANS.

Results of Operations

The financial information of the Bank discussed in this section is based on the consolidated financial results of operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

The Bank’s net income increased by 41.2% from R$1,665 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$2,351 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as a result of the factors described below.

Income from financial intermediation

The following table sets out the principal components of the Bank’s income from financial intermediation in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

- 62 -


The Bank’s income from financial intermediation increased by 24.2% from R$15,144 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$18,813 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to the factors described below.

Income from loans had the most significant growth and increased by 40.6% from R$8,502 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$11,953 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase mainly reflects an increase in the overall lending activity of the Bank and is principally derived from:

 

   

a R$452.2 million increase in operating income primarily resulted from the variation of the Brazilian real against the Japanese Yen;

 

   

an income increase of R$113.4 million in BB Giro Empresa Flex due to an increase in average balances;

 

   

the recovery of certain credits previously written off as losses; and

 

   

a R$252.3 million increase in income from loans of Banco Votorantim.

Income from Banco Nossa Caixa and Banco Votorantim was consolidated with the Bank’s for the three months ended March 31, 2010 but not the same period in 2009.

The table below describes income from loans adjusted for equalization of rural credit, a non-recurring event. The equalization of rural credit comprises operating income and is classified as other operating income. In order for income from loans to accurately reflect actual recorded income from loans, it must be adjusted for this non-recurring event. Adjusted income from loans is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP, does not represent income from loans for the periods presented and should not be considered an alternative to income from loans. Adjusted income from loans does not have a standardized meaning and, accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The Bank uses adjusted income from loans to present income from loans without the effects of extraordinary accounting or accounting reclassifications which affect the historical analysis of revenue. Accordingly, the measurement allows the comparison of revenues in several periods.

Income from securities decreased by 1.5% from R$5,730 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$5,644 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the Bank’s securities portfolio, which totaled R$124,337 million as of March 31, 2009 and decreased by 4.0% to R$119,364 million as of March 31, 2010.

Transactions with Financial Instruments and Derivatives recorded expenses of R$232.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to a negative result of R$61.5 million in the same period of 2009. Such transactions are part of the Bank’s strategy to protect its foreign exchange exposure by means of hedging. In other words, the amounts recorded in the asset portfolios are offset by liability portfolios, such as securities issued abroad and loans and onlending obligations. These losses were mainly the result of (i) a 432.0 million decrease in income from active operations due to the variation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (depreciation of 2.3% through March 31, 2010 compared to an appreciation of 0.9% through March 31, 2009) and (ii) a decrease of R$174.5 million relating to changes in the futures market operations. These overall

 

- 63 -


losses were offset by (i) a R$127.6 million increase in hedging operations from the Chicago Stock Exchange due to lower depreciation of the Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar (0.5% depreciation in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 7.1% depreciation in the first quarter of 2009), (ii) a R$208.0 million increase in interest rate hedging operations and (iii) a R$117.0 million increase due to a decrease in the CDI and TMS rates and a related increase in the volume of transactions for these operations.”

Income from compulsory deposits increased by 56.2% from R$176 million in the first three months of 2009 to R$274 million in the first three months of 2010. This increase was mainly due to growth in deposits, particularly time deposits, which increased by R$4,418 million compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions increased by 10.7% from R$320 million in the first three months of 2009, to R$354 million in the first three months of 2010. This increase was primarily the result of a greater volume of insurance, pension plans and capitalization operations.

Expenses from financial intermediation

The following table sets out the principal components of the Bank’s expenses from financial intermediation for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

 

     Three-month period ended March 31,

Expenses from financial intermediation

   (13,187   (11,786   11.9
                

The Bank’s expenses from financial intermediation increased by 11.9% from R$11,786 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$13,187 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to the factors described below.

Expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money markets increased by 9.4% from R$7,761 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$8,493 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was mainly the result of a 1.5% increase in deposits and funds obtained in the money market, specifically related to (i) a R$179.4 million increase in average balances, related to the Bank’s merger with Banco Nossa Caixa, (ii) a R$413.2 million increase in expenses related to this increase in average balances and (iii) a R$274.2 million increase in time deposit expenses with Banco Votorantim.

In analyzing the performance of expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market, the income from savings deposits is calculated and recorded based on the respective monthly anniversaries of the deposit dates. Moreover, at the closing of each month, proportional charges are recorded in order to comply with the accrual basis.

The recording of proportional charges is offset in the subsequent period against expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market line item, except for amounts relating to June and December, which are recorded in other operating income in January and July. This occurs due to the closing of balances on the determination of results in each six-month period.

The Bank believes it is helpful to present proportional savings charges on an adjusted basis so that total expenses accurately reflect the related amounts. Accordingly, the calculation of adjusted expenses from deposits

 

- 64 -


and funds obtained in the money market presents the expenses relating to deposits and funds obtained in the money market, less non-recurring reversals of restatement charges on savings deposits. Adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, our definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The table below supports these amounts.

Adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market

   (8,302   (7,559   9.8   
                  

Expenses from borrowings and onlendings increased by 26.1%, from R$716 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$903 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was due to an increase in the volume of funds from borrowings and onlendings in 2010, in particular (i) borrowings (R$1,514 million), particularly foreign borrowings (R$1,610 million), (ii) domestic onlendings to official institutions (R$1,604 million) and (iii) the growth of funds from FINAME (R$1,327 million).

Expenses from leases increased by 70.3% from R$340 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$579 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

The Bank’s allowance for loan losses increased by 11.5% from R$2,654 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$2,959 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The breakdown of expenses related to allowance for loan losses for transactions with and without credit characteristics is set forth in the table below:

 

     Three-month period ended

Total

   (2,959   (2,654   11.5
                

The allowance for loan losses with credit characteristics increased by 20.1% in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the first quarter of 2009. This increase is mainly due to a 2.1% increase in the Bank’s credit portfolio in the first quarter of 2010 (R$5,534 million). The total allowance for loan losses without credit characteristics increased by 121.0% (R$305 million) in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Expenses from net foreign exchange totaled R$18 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and R$116 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. This 84.4% decrease in expenses from net foreign exchange resulted due to a decrease of R$92.1 million arising from the variation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar levied on ACC/ACE operations.

Expenses from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions increased by 17.8% from R$199.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$235 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to a 27% increase in expenses related to supplementary pension plans.

Gross income from financial intermediation

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s gross income from financial intermediation increased by R$2,266 million, or 67.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation

The Bank’s income is affected by other items relating to financial intermediation which, due to the financial institution accounting chart (COSIF), are not recorded in income (loss) from financial intermediation.

These items include: (i) foreign exchange gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities of facilities abroad recorded in equity in the earnings (losses) of subsidiaries and affiliates, (ii) gains (losses) deriving from negative foreign exchange adjustments of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies recorded by the Bank under other operating income/expenses, (iii) tax effect, recorded in tax expenses (indirect taxes) and expenses from income tax and social contribution on net income, used to reduce gains (losses) from hedging transactions for purposes of hedging against the Bank’s foreign exchange exposure, which effects are recorded in financial intermediation and (iv) income from special operations and specific credits, subject to financial assets recorded in other credits and recorded in other operating income.

Accordingly, the Bank’s management believes that the disclosure of a non-GAAP measurement, set forth in the table below, that reconciles adjusted gross income from financial intermediation with gross income from financial intermediation may be useful to investors. Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s income from banking service fees and banking fees totaled R$3,634 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 23.5% from the same period of 2009, as set forth in the table below. It is important to note that both income from banking service fees and income from banking fees were positively affected by the consolidation of results from the recent acquisitions of Banco Nossa Caixa and Banco Votorantim.

Total

   3,634    2,943    23.5
              

The Bank’s income from banking service fees totaled R$2,747 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, in comparison with a total of R$2,255 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase of R$493 million, or 21.9%, was due to a growth in credit and debit card income, in the amount of R$143 million during the period. This increase was mainly due to (i) an increase of R$42.7 million in income from distribution and quotas bookkeeping, mainly due to the merger of Banco Nossa Caixa in November 2009, (ii) an increase of R$73.6 million in fees due to the increase of purchases by consumers, (iii) an increase in income from services rendered to Cobra Tecnologia, totaling R$46.7 million and (iv) an overall increase in income of R$39.3 million from other services rendered.

Banking fees increased by 28.8% or R$198 million to R$887 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The main increases that have driven the increases in banking fees were those related to service packages, which increased by R$124 million in the first quarter of 2010, and from credit and registration operations, amounting to R$54 million. The increase in income from banking fees is largely due to a greater number of accounts with service packages and an increase in revenues from registration due to a greater volume of credit operations, in part due to the consolidation of Nossa Caixa and Banco Votorantim.

Personnel expenses and other administrative expenses totaled R$6,298 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 7.8% compared to the same period of 2009, as set forth in the table below.

Personnel expenses decreased by 4.2% from R$3,152 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$3,021 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was mainly the result of a decline in provisions for labor contingencies of R$853 million. Expenses related to labor claims totaled R$1,023 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to R$170 million in the first quarter of 2010, a decrease of 83.4%. The overall decline in personnel expenses was partially offset by an increase of R$217.7 million in base salaries, R$103.0 million in benefits and R$172.0 million in expenses related to adjustments from a collective bargaining agreement and consolidation with Banco Nossa Caixa and Banco Votorantim.

The Bank considers the expenses relating to labor claims discussed above to be non-recurring and unrelated to current personnel expenses. Accordingly, excluding these non-recurring items, the total amount of adjusted personnel expenses was R$2,129 million and R$2,851 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, as set forth in the table below. Adjusted personnel expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of adjusted personnel expenses may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Other administrative expenses increased by 21.8% from R$2,691 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$3,277 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was mainly due to an increase in expenses from business fees, including (i) an increase of R$126.3 million in expenses related to equipment and software maintenance, partially due to the merger with Banco Nossa Caixa in November 2009, (ii) an increase of R$73.4 million in expenses related to third-party services, particularly extrajudicial collection, branding, printing of cards and associated expenses due to the Banco Nossa Caixa merger, (iii) an increase of R$265.7 million in expenses from amortization, mainly due to business fees and the Banco Nossa Caixa merger and (iv) an increase of R$50.5 million in depreciation expenses, largely related to data processing systems, leasehold improvements and the Banco Nossa Caixa merger. The overall increase in other administrative expenses was partially offset by a R$326.9 million reduction in expenses due to an adjustment in provisions for contingencies related to civil and tax claims.

The Bank’s civil claims mainly consisted of differences between inflation rates and the rate used to restate financial investments during the period of the following economic plans: Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan (Plano Verão). The Bank considers these expenses, totaling R$636 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and R$325 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, to be non-recurring and unrelated to the Bank’s administrative activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2009, pursuant to a Central Bank resolution, business fees paid to clients were recorded in other administrative expenses. In order to maintain comparability with prior periods, the Bank has excluded these amounts (totaling R$254 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and R$503 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010).

Accordingly, after excluding civil claims and the business fee re-classification, adjusted other administrative expenses totaled R$1,801 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and R$2,449 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The table below shows the amount of adjusted other administrative expenses. Adjusted other administrative expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning.

Tax expenses increased by 29.4% from R$667 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$864 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase taxable income which resulted in an increase of R$163 million in expenses relating to COFINS.

The Bank’s equity in the income (losses) of affiliates and subsidiary companies increased from losses of R$85 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to an income of R$50 million in the same period of 2010. This increase was primarily the result of foreign exchange losses recorded in 2009, which negatively affected results. The Brazilian real appreciated by 0.93% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2009 and depreciated by 2.3% in the first quarter of 2010.

Other operating income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions increased by 45.3% from R$303 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009, to R$440 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to (i) the 2009 corporate reorganization in the insurance, private pension plans and capitalization segments and (ii) a R$606.2 million increase in direct unearned premiums from Brasilprev (R$440.9 million), Aliança do Brasil (R$105.4 million) and Brasilveículos (R$59.9 million). These increases were partially offset by an increase in provisions for Brasilprev benefits.

Other operating income increased by 51.2% from R$2,056 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$3,110 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to (i) a R$183.9 million increase in income from recovery of charges and expenses, (ii) an increase of R$718.6 million

 

- 69 -


in actuarial gains recognition from benefit plan number 1—Previ and (iii) a R$502.8 million increase in the reversal of labor contingencies’ provisions. These increases were partially offset by a R$579.9 million reduction caused by the variation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar for funds indexed to foreign currencies.

Other operating expenses increased by 43.7% from R$1,371 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$1,969 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily due to (i) a R$133.3 million increase in operating expenses distributed among several categories deriving from the merger with Banco Nossa Caixa in November 2009 and (ii) an increase of R$259.1 million from Banco Votorantim’s other operating expenses. These increases were partially offset by a R$146.8 million reduction in expenses from the variation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar for funds indexed to foreign currencies.

Operating income

The Bank’s operating income totaled R$3,730 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to R$694 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Non-operating income

The Bank’s non-operating income totaled R$217 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of R$200 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. This increase was largely due to profit from the sale of Visanet (now Cielo), resulting in R$214 million of income.

Non-operating expenses increased by 132.1% from R$17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Income before taxes and income sharing

The Bank’s income before taxes and income sharing totaled R$3,946 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 455.1% compared to the first quarter of 2009.

Income tax and social contribution

Expenses from income tax increased by 14.9% from R$983 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$1,129 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Expenses from social contribution increased by 14.6% to R$543 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to R$623 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in income tax and social contribution is described below.

Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15%, plus a surtax of 10%. Social contribution, as of May 1, 2008, is calculated considering the rate of 15% for financial and insurance companies and 9% for all other companies. Prior to May 1, 2008, all companies’ income tax rate was calculated at a 9% rate. In the first quarter of 2009, the Bank revalued the probability of a favorable outcome in a direct unconstitutionality action (number 4101/DF) brought against this increase in tax rate. The Bank’s revaluation recognized the rate increase from 9% to 15% activating tax credits equaling R$1,213 million. These changes explain the variation in income tax and social contribution, which was R$1,182 million in the first quarter of 2009 and R$1,242 million in the first quarter of 2010.

The Bank’s deferred tax assets totaled R$2,708 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and decreased to R$510 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010, an 81.2% decrease.

Profit sharing

Participation in profits distributed among employees and board members of the Bank increased 55.6% from R$227 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to R$353 million in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net income and recurring net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s net income increased by 41.2% to R$2,351 million for the period ended March 31, 2010 from R$1,665 million for the period ended March 31, 2009. The increase is largely explained by the growth of business, in particular the increase in income from loans, as well as the consolidation of operations relating to the mergers with Banco Nossa Caixa and Banco Votorantim.

The Bank’s management believes that a presentation of net income that excludes the effects of non-recurring events, denoted as recurring income, is helpful to investors. Therefore, the Bank has excluded the impact of certain applicable non-recurring events listed in the table below from net income. Recurring income is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of recurring income may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s income from financial intermediation increased by 15.1% from R$57,115.7 million in 2008 to R$65,729.1 million in 2009, primarily due to the factors described below.

Income from loans increased by 22.0% from R$33,220.6 million in 2008 to R$40,515.2 million in 2009. This increase mainly reflects an increase in the overall lending activity of the Bank and is principally derived from:

 

   

an increase of 28.1%, or R$4,988.2 million in income from lending activities, mainly from (i) an increase in revenue arising from consumer loans, mainly from consumer direct loans, representing R$2,295.2 million and working capital loans to small businesses, including the Bank’s own products: BB Giro Empresa Flex, representing R$1,002.1 million, BB Giro, representing R$180.0 million, BB Giro Rápido, representing R$152.9 million and BB Capital de Giro Mix Pasep, representing R$145.9 million, resulting primarily from an increase in the average volume of these loans, (ii) revenue arising from loans of R$2,935.8 million from the consolidation of credit transactions from the merger of Banco Nossa Caixa and (iii) an increase of R$372.9 million resulting from the inclusion in the Bank’s consolidated statement of income of proportional revenue arising from loans through Banco Votorantim beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of R$2,297.5 million (from R$1,569.0 million profit in 2008 to R$728.5 million loss in 2009) in revenue from credit transactions under Resolution No. 2,770, dated August 30, 2000, mainly due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the Japanese Yen (27.1% appreciation in 2009, as compared with a devaluation of 62.9% in 2008);

 

   

a 30.6% increase, or R$1,646.8 million in revenue from financing transactions, primarily from (i) credit cards transactions, representing R$645.5 million, CDC, representing R$412.8 million and foreign working capital financing, representing R$188.9 million resulting mainly from an increase in the average volume of these loans, (ii) an increase by R$629.6 million resulting from the inclusion in the Bank’s consolidated statement of income of proportional revenue from financing by Banco Votorantim beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009 and (iii) an increase of R$19.6 million from the consolidation of the financing operations of Banco Nossa Caixa. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of R$257.7 million in revenue from loans for the acquisition of goods and services, mainly due to lower average volume of these financings; and

 

   

an increase in income from the transfer of credits to Ativos S.A., an increase in loan recoveries and an increase in income from the recovery of bad debts as a result of the consolidation of Banco Nossa Caixa.

Income from leases increased by 98.1% from R$1,165.9 million in 2008 to R$2,310.1 million in 2009, primarily due to an increase in the volume of leasing operations in 2009.

The table below describes income from loans, adjusted for the two non-recurring events mentioned above (revenue from equalization and assignment of credits to Ativos S.A.). Adjusted income from loans is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP, does not represent income from loans for the periods presented and should not be considered an alternative to income from loans. Adjusted income from loans does not have a standardized meaning and, accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The Bank uses adjusted income from loans to present income from loans without the effects of extraordinary accounting or accounting reclassifications which affect the historical analysis of revenue. Accordingly, the measurement allows the comparison of revenues in several periods.

Income from securities increased by 3.2% from R$20,692.3 million in 2008 to R$21,349.6 million 2009. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of 57.8%, representing R$4,173.9 million in income from third-party portfolio, largely due to the increase in the average balance of this portfolio, representing R$3,657.8 million, the consolidation of the average balance of Nossa Caixa, representing R$314.0 million starting in April 2009 and the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s income from the third-party portfolio, representing R$226.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 and (ii) an increase of 8.1%, representing R$705.3 million in income from stock and fixed income securities, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of the portfolio due to the consolidation of Nossa Caixa, representing R$1,704.4 million starting in April 2009 and the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s income from stock and fixed income securities, representing R$156.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. This increase was partially offset by (i) a decrease of 13.7%, representing R$1,151.5 million in income from stock and securities tied to TMS rates (9.9% in 2009, compared to 12.5% in 2008) and the appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar (appreciation of 25.6% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 32.0% in 2008), (ii) a decrease of 99.9%, representing R$3,728.7 million in income from investments in foreign securities, primarily due to the appreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar and (iii) a decrease of R$490.3 million (from income of R$375.8 million in 2008 to a loss of R$114.5 million in 2009) in income from negotiable securities, mainly due to a decrease of R$569.9 million resulting from a mark-to-market adjustment of the NTN-F, which was partially offset by the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s income from securities held for sale, representing R$74.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

In 2008, income from securities was positively affected by the sale of some of the Bank’s shares in Visanet (now Cielo), which resulted in a non-recurring gain of R$196.3 million, as explained in the table below. The Bank believes that the adjustment is helpful in order to present income from securities excluding non-recurring items in order to enhance year-on-year comparability. Adjusted income from securities is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and it does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s loss from derivative financial instruments decreased by 4.7%, from a loss of R$1,283.3 million in 2008 to a loss of R$1,222.6 million in 2009. This decrease in losses was mainly the result of a decrease, representing R$1,790.4 million in losses from interest rate swaps and exchange rate swaps, resulting mainly from (i) the increased appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (appreciation of 25.6% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 32.0% in 2008) and the Japanese Yen (appreciation of 27.1% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 62.9% in 2008), representing R$1,168.9 million and (ii) the decrease in TMS rates (9.9% in 2009, compared to 12.5 in 2008) and CDI rates (9.9% in 2009, compared to 12.4% in 2008) on borrowings, representing R$690.4 million. This decrease in losses was partially offset by an increase of R$755.1 million in losses from foreign exchange hedges and an increase of R$1,161.0 million in losses from currency futures contracts, in each case, mainly as a result of the volatility of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (appreciation of 25.6% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 32.0% in 2008).

Income from net foreign exchange transactions increased by 47.8% from R$464.2 million in 2008 to R$685.9 million in 2009, primarily due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar (appreciation of 25.6% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 32.0% in 2008), the Japanese Yen (appreciation of 27.1% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 62.9% in 2008) and the Euro (appreciation of 22.3% in 2009, compared to depreciation of 24.1% in 2008).

 

- 73 -


Income from compulsory deposits decreased by 57.3% from R$1,909.8 million in 2008 to R$816.3 million in 2009. This decrease was mainly due to the Central Bank requirement under Circular No. 3,419/2008 that additional compulsory deposits be linked to federal securities.

Expenses from financial intermediation

   (47,496   (44,297   7.2   
                  

The Bank’s expenses from financial intermediation increased by 7.2% from R$44,296.3 million in 2008 to R$47,496.3 million in 2009. This increase was primarily due to the factors described below.

Expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money markets increased by 18.1% from R$25,531.7 million in 2008 to R$30,145.9 million in 2009. This increase was mainly the result of growth by 76.5% of the portfolio of funds obtained in the money market, totaling R$160,821 million in 2009 compared to R$91,130 million in 2008. The decrease of the basic interest rate (SELIC) in 2009 (9.9%) against 2008 (12.5%) has partially offset the substantial growth of remunerated funding. The variation in the balance of this Sources of funding derived from the increase in repurchase transactions, mainly backed by LFT, which represented a more feasible option for large investors to make investments tied to SELIC, in view of the strategy adopted by the National Treasury to increase interest in pre-fixed securities in the composition of public debt. Specifically, this increase was caused by (i) a 27.1% increase, or R$2,870.1 million, in expenses from time deposits, mainly due to the increase in their average balance (R$1,556.2 million), the consolidation of R$1,139.8 million of expenses related to funds from Nossa Caixa beginning in April 2009 and the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s expenses from time deposits in the fourth quarter of 2009, representing R$239.6 million, partially offset by a R$65.6 million decrease in expenses from foreign time deposits, (ii) an increase of 8.3%, or R$814.0 million in expenses from repurchase transactions (such as expenses from the sale of securities with repurchase obligations), of which R$670.7 million resulted from the consolidation of the expenses of Nossa Caixa starting in April 2009 and R$285.8 million resulted from the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s expenses from repurchase transactions in the fourth quarter of 2009, partially offset by a R$129.0 million decrease of expenses from foreign repurchase transactions, (iii) an increase of 14.2%, or R$594.3 million, in expenses from savings deposits, of which R$553.2 million resulted from the consolidation of the expenses and readjustment of Nossa Caixa starting in April 2009 and R$41.1 million resulted from interest rate expenses and monetary readjustment of savings deposits due to the increase in their average balance in 2009 (R$9,545.3 million) and (iv) an increase of 82.3%, or R$355.7 million, in expenses from interbank deposits, of which R$407.5 million resulted from the increase in their average balance in 2009, representing R$4,441.1 million and R$285.8 million resulted from the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s expenses from interbank deposits in the fourth quarter of 2009, partially offset by a R$79.8 million decrease in expenses from overnight and foreign savings deposits.

In analyzing the performance of expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market, the income from savings deposits is calculated and recorded based on the respective monthly anniversaries of the deposit dates. Moreover, at the closing of each month, proportional charges are recorded in order to comply with the accrual basis.

 

- 74 -


The recording of proportional charges is offset in the subsequent period in the expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market line item, except for amounts relating to June and December, which are recorded in other operating income in January and July. This occurs due to the closing of balances on the determination of results in each six-month period.

The Bank believes it is helpful to present proportional savings charges on an adjusted basis so that total expenses accurately reflect the related amounts. Accordingly, the calculation of adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market presents the expenses relating to deposits and funds obtained in the money market, less non-recurring reversals of restatement charges on savings deposits. Adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The table below supports these amounts.

Expenses from borrowings and onlendings decreased by 71.1%, from R$8,684.6 million in 2008 to R$2,510.0 million in 2009. This decrease was due to the effect of the appreciation of the real against the Dollar (by 25.5%), the Euro and the Japanese Yen on foreign borrowings and onlendings, resulting in (i) a R$3,736.8 million reduction in foreign borrowings, (ii) a R$1,505.3 million reduction in foreign onlendings and (iii) a R$1,481.7 million increase in expenses related to foreign loans. This overall reduction was partially offset by (i) an increase in the volume of onlendings from governmental agencies, mainly BNDES, totaling R$302.1 million and FINAME, a BNDES subsidiary that specializes in equipment financing, totaling R$191.7 million and (ii) a 39.7% reduction in the credit onlending portfolio from the National Treasury.

Expenses from leases increased by 95.1%, from R$852.4 million in 2008 to R$1,663.3 million in 2009, mainly due to the increase in the volume of the Bank’s leasing operations in 2009.

Expenses from insurance, pension plans and capitalization increased by 25.6%, from R$621.9 million in 2008 to R$780.8 million in 2009. This increase is mainly due to the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries, which operate in insurance, retirement and pension plan and capitalization segments. These non-financial subsidiaries were only partially consolidated for 10 months in 2008 as compared to full consolidation for the entire 2009 year.

The Bank’s allowance for loan losses increased by 44.1% from R$8,605.8 million in 2008 to R$12,396.3 million in 2009. The breakdown of expenses related to allowance for loan losses for transactions with and without credit characteristics, as well as for additional allowances, is set forth in the table below.

Despite the improvement of the Brazilian economic environment, the Bank maintained a conservative position in respect to allowance for loan losses and percentage of its credit portfolio. Such increase is due to (i) the expansion of the Bank’s overall credit operations, which increased 87.2% in comparison with 2007 and 33.8% in comparison with 2008, (ii) increase in delinquency due to the global financial crisis and (iii) expenses in connection with Banco Votorantim and Banco Nossa Caixa.

Gross income from financial intermediation

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s gross income from financial intermediation increased by 42.2% from R$12,819.4 million in 2008 to R$18,232.9 million in 2009.

Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation

The Bank’s income from financial intermediation is affected by other items relating to financial intermediation which, due to the financial institution accounting chart (COSIF), are not recorded in income (loss) from financial intermediation.

These items include: (i) foreign exchange gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities of facilities abroad recorded in equity in the earnings (losses) of subsidiaries and affiliates, (ii) gains (losses) deriving from negative foreign exchange adjustments of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies recorded in Banco Múltiplo in other operating income/expenses, (iii) tax effect, recorded in tax expenses (indirect taxes) and expenses from income tax and social contribution on net income, used to reduce gains (losses) from hedging transactions for purposes of hedging against the Bank’s foreign exchange exposure, which are recorded in financial intermediation and (iv) income from special operations and specific credits, subject to financial assets recorded in other credits and recorded in other operating income.

Accordingly, the Bank’s management believes that the disclosure of a non-GAAP measurement, set forth in the table below, that reconciles adjusted gross income from financial intermediation with gross income from financial intermediation, may be useful to investors. Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s other operating expenses increased by 303.6% from R$1,149.9 million in 2008 to R$4,641.1 million in 2009, primarily due to the factors described below.

Banking service fees increased by 11.9% from R$9,088.8 million in 2008 to R$10,171.7 million in 2009. This increase was mainly due to (i) an increase of 21.5%, or R$440 million, in fees from credit and debit card transactions, (ii) an increase of 53.0%, or R$139 million in fees from insurance, pension plans and capitalization services and (iii) an increase of 136.3%, or R$94.5 million in income from services rendered to affiliates. Income from banking service fees resulting from the consolidation of Nossa Caixa totaled R$370 million in 2009.

Banking fees increased by 22.7% from R$2,722.0 million in 2008 to R$3,339.5 million in 2009. The main increase was due to income from services packages and registration, in the amount of R$269 million. The increase in banking fees is also derived from the growth in the Bank’s business, mainly due to (i) an increase in the number of clients, (ii) increase in the number of accounts, and (iii) increase in consumer lending, due to the consolidation of Nossa Caixa, which totaled R$433.9 million in 2009.

Personnel expenses increased by 33.5% from R$8,870.1 million in 2008 to R$11,838.4 million in 2009. This increase was mainly the result of (i) the consolidation of Nossa Caixa, which added 14,102 new employees to the Bank’s staff and resulted in added personnel expenses totaling R$1,352.7 million in 2009, (ii) an increase of 14.7%, or R$164 million, in salaries resulting from salary adjustments in accordance with a collective bargaining agreement, (iii) an increase of 53.0%, or R$402.2 million, in provisions for labor-related claims in which the Bank is a party, (iv) an increase of 12.3%, or R$175.4 million, in charges resulting from salary adjustments in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement and (v) an increase of 14.7%, or R$163.8 million, in benefits resulting from salary adjustments in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement.

The Bank considers the expenses relating to labor claims discussed above to be non-recurring, and unrelated to current personnel expenses. In addition, the Bank considers expenses relating to the voluntary dismissal plan of Nossa Caixa, R$215 million, to also be non-recurring.

 

- 77 -


Accordingly, after excluding these non-recurring items, the total amount of adjusted personnel expenses was R$8,112 million and R$10,248 million in 2008 and 2009, respectively, as set forth in the table below. Adjusted personnel expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of adjusted personnel expenses may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Other administrative expenses increased by 41.6% from R$7,917.3 million in 2008 to R$11,212.0 million in 2009. This increase was mainly due to (i) amortization in the amount of R$1,467 million, consisting of R$1,408 million related to expenses from costs for building business relationships, previously recorded under other operating expenses; (ii) cost related to services for the Brazilian Financial System in the amount of R$276 million; (iii) legal claims in the amount of R$270 million and (iv) data processing in the amount of R$256 million.

The Bank’s civil claims mainly consisted of differences between inflation rates and the rate used to restate financial investments during the period of the following economic plans: Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan (Plano Verão). The Bank considers these expenses, totaling R$617 million in 2008 and R$899 million in 2009, to be non-recurring and unrelated to the Bank’s administrative activities.

In 2009, pursuant to a Central Bank resolution, business fees paid to clients were recorded in other administrative expenses. The Bank has excluded these amounts, totaling R$1,408 million for comparability purposes.

Accordingly, after excluding the placement of chips in credit cards in 2008 (R$54 million), civil claims and the business fee reclassification, other administrative expenses totaled R$7,234 million in 2008 and R$8.904 million in 2009. The table below shows the amounts of adjusted other administrative expenses. Adjusted other administrative expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of adjusted other administrative expenses may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Adjusted administrative expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of total adjusted administrative expenses may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s tax expenses include IPTU, ITR, ISSQN, COFINS and PASEP. Tax expenses increased by 26.5% from R$2,634.9 million in 2008 to R$3,332.7 million in 2009. This increase was primarily due to: (i) the consolidation of Nossa Caixa, with tax expenses totaling R$218.6 million in 2009 and (ii) an increase in expenses from COFINS (R$572 million) and PASEP (R$71.2 million).

The Bank’s equity in the income (losses) of affiliates and subsidiary companies decreased from earnings of R$1,394.2 million in 2008 to a loss of R$989.4 million in 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of the 25.5% appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2009, compared to the 32.0% depreciation in 2008, and the corresponding effect on the U.S. dollar denominated capital of the Bank’s offshore branches, which are recorded in this line item.

Other operating income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions increased by 76.4% from R$892.4 million in 2008 to R$1,574.1 million in 2009. This increase was primarily the result of the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries operating in the insurance, pension plans and capitalization segments, which were consolidated beginning in March 2008, for the entirety of 2009, as compared to partial consolidation for only 10 months in 2008.

Other operating income increased by 44.1% from R$11,780.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to R$16,973.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was mainly due to (i) an increase of 411.7% (R$4,165.6 million) in foreign exchange gains resulting from the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese Yen (25.6% and 27.1%, respectively in 2009, as compared to depreciation of 32.0% and 62.9%, respectively, in 2008) affecting the currency-linked obligations on the Bank, generating an income of negative foreign exchange adjustments, (ii) income of R$753.9 million resulting from the reversal of provisions for civil and tax claims, (iii) income of R$733.1 million resulting from the reversal of provisions for labor claims, (iv) an increase of 31.2%, or R$421.8 million, in income from rate equalization operations under Law No. 8,427 of May 27, 1992, (v) an increase of 41.1%, or R$309.2 million, in the recovery of fees and expenses and (vi) income of R$158.3 million from the consolidation of Nossa Caixa. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 22.0% (R$1,189.1 million) in the recognition of actuarial gains relating to the PREVI Plano de Benefícios No. 1.

Other operating expenses increased by 22.6% from R$7,605.2 million in 2008 to R$9,326.9 million for year ended December 31, 2009. This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of 259.0%, or R$1,967.0 million, in foreign exchange loss adjustments resulting from the appreciation of the real against the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen, (ii) the consolidation of R$499.6 million of other operating expenses from Nossa Caixa, (iii) R$469.6 million from the proportional consolidation of Banco Votorantim’s expenses from provisions for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2009, (iv) payment of R$291.4 million to the State of São Paulo in respect of the acquisition of Nossa Caixa, (v) R$217.1 million in expenses related to assaults and break-ins, mainly due to improvements in the Bank’s criteria for recognition of these expenses as effective losses, which are partially accounted for as a reversal of provisions in allowance for loan losses, corresponding to R$123.5 million

 

- 79 -


and (vi) an increase of 53.2%, or R$263.9 million in expenses related to credit and debit card transactions. This increase was offset by the recognition of an actuarial loss of R$1,288.8 million in 2009 relating to CASSI contributions, by a R$709.2 million in premiums paid to clients for loyalty, and by a decrease in expenses from the amortization of PREVI’s actuarial assets.

Non-operating income

The Bank’s non-operating income consists of (i) income from the sale of investments, (ii) provisions or reversal of the devaluation of assets, (iii) income from the sale of assets, (iv) sale of real estate and (v) other income.

Non-operating income increased by 346.9% from R$412.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 to R$1,843.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, mainly as a result of income of R$1,624.7 million from the sale by BB Investimentos of its shares held in Cielo (formerly Visanet) in Visanet’s IPO concluded in June 2009 and income of R$64.3 million and R$76.7 million from the sale by BB Investimentos and Banco Múltiplo, respectively, of their shares held in Visa Incorporated.

Income tax and social contribution

Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15% and surtax of 10%. Social contribution, as of May 1, 2008, is calculated taking into account the rate of 15% for financial and insurance companies and 9% for other companies (prior to April 30, 2008, the rate was 9% for all companies). Expenses from income tax and social contribution increased by 81.9% to R$3,902.8 million in 2009 compared to R$2,145.1 million in 2008. This increase was due to the 41.8%, or R$1,507.6 million, increase in income tax and 40.0%, or R$832.9 million, increase in social contribution on net income resulting from the increase in the taxable and contribution income base in 2009 and from the effect of the Bank’s fiscal hedging structure given the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, which was partially offset by an increase in deferred tax credits recorded in 2009, corresponding to R$4,127.6 million compared to 2008 (R$3,544.8 million) due primarily to R$1,213.0 million in credits from the positive re-assessment of the probability of success of the Bank’s unconstitutionality claim in respect of the increase in social contribution tax from 9% to 15% in March 2009.

Profit sharing

Participation in profits distributed to the employees and board members of the Bank increased 22.1% from R$1,134.1 million in 2008 to R$1,384.5 million in 2009.

Net Income and recurring net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s net income increased by 15.3% to R$10,147.5 million for the period ended December 31, 2009 from R$8,802.9 million for period ended December 31, 2008.

The Bank’s management believes that a presentation of net income that excludes non-recurring events, denoted as recurring income, is helpful to investors. Therefore, the Bank has excluded the impact of certain applicable non-recurring events listed in the table below from net income. Recurring income is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of recurring income may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank recorded no income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization in 2007 due to the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries operating in the insurance, pension plans and capitalization segments beginning in March 2008.

The Bank’s income from financial intermediation increased by 40.1% from R$40,773.1 million in 2007 to R$57,115.7 million in 2008, primarily due to the factors described below.

 

- 81 -


Income from loans increased by 31.5% from R$25,261.3 million in 2007 to R$33,220.6 million in 2008. This increase mainly reflects an increase of 37.1% in the overall lending activity of the Bank and is principally derived from:

 

   

income from credit transactions increased by 48.2%, or R$5,768.5 million, between 2007 and 2008, mainly due to (i) loans under Resolution No. 2,770, or R$2,007.9 million, CDC, corresponding to R$1,095.8 million and BB Giro (R$718.9 million), (ii) income from the BB Giro Rápido Empresa Flex (R$965.0 million), (iii) overdraft services, corresponding to R$221.2 million, (iv) income from BB Giro Rápido (R$214.4 million) and (v) income from BB Capital de Giro Mix Pasep, corresponding to R$199.6 million;

 

   

income from financing transactions increased by 45.1% (R$2,179.3 million), primarily due to income from credit cards (R$618.2 million), export financing (R$586.3 million), foreign-currency denominated loans (R$551.3 million), CDC (R$392.8 million), and FINAME, which funds machinery and equipment and the program to support micro- and small companies (R$351.9 million);

 

   

an increase by 18.5% (R$267.2 million) relating to the transfer of credits to Ativos S.A. (R$135.4 million) and a larger volume of loans recovered (R$132 million); and

 

   

an increase of 19.6% (R$344.6 million) in income from loans and discounted bills.

Income from leases increased by 68.5% from R$691.8 million in 2007 to R$1,165.8 million in 2008, primarily due to an increase in the volume of leasing operations in 2008.

The table below describes income from loans, adjusted for the two non-recurring events mentioned above (revenue from equalization and assignment of credits to Ativos S.A.). Adjusted income from loans is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP, does not represent income from loans for the periods presented and should not be considered an alternative to income from loans. Adjusted income from loans does not have a standardized meaning and, accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The Bank uses adjusted income from loans to present income from loans without the effects of extraordinary accounting or accounting reclassifications which affect the historical analysis of revenue. Accordingly, the measurement allows the comparison of revenues in several periods.

Adjusted income from loans totaled R$34,506 million, including equalization revenues and credit assignment by Ativo S.A. This amount is 36.6% greater than the amount recorded in 2007 and is in line with the changes to lending operations, which grew by 37.1% in the same period.

Income from leasing increased by 68.5%, from R$691.8 million in 2007 to R$1,165.8 million in 2008, mainly due to an increase in the volume of leasing transactions in 2008.

Income from securities increased by 63.8% from R$12,631.9 million in 2007 to R$20,692.3 million 2008. This performance derived from the expansion of the securities portfolio (R$11,708 million or a 15.6%

increase) and short-term financial investments (R$ 68,284 million or 133.6% increase) and an increase in the basic interest rate (SELIC) accumulated over the period (12.5% in 2008 against 11.9% in 2007). This increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of R$3,730.8 million in income from investments abroad due to a 31.9% devaluation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008 compared to a 17.2% appreciation in 2007, (ii) an increase by 69.2% (R$2,952.0 million) in income resulting from the portfolio of third parties, mainly due to an increase in the average volume of the portfolio and an increase in the average SELIC rate (12.49% in 2008 compared to 11.88% in 2007), (iii) additional income of R$557.2 million deriving from the mark to market value of securities for trading and (iv) additional income of R$196.4 million from the sale of shares in Visanet (now Cielo). This increase was offset by a decrease of R$660.4 million in income related to fixed-income securities due to the devaluation of the real against the dollar in 2008, irrespective of the increase in the average SELIC rate.

In 2008, income from securities was positively affected by the sale of some of the Bank’s shares in Visanet (now Cielo), which resulted in a non-recurring gain of R$196.3 million, as explained in the table below. The Bank believes that the adjustment is helpful in order to present income from securities excluding non-recurring items in order to enhance year-on-year comparability. Adjusted income from securities is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition of adjusted income from securities may not be comparable to that of other companies.

The Bank’s income from derivative financial instruments was R$175.3 million in 2007, compared to a loss of R$1,283.3 million in 2008. This change was mainly the result of (i) negative fluctuation, corresponding to R$2,320.2 billion in income from swap transactions, resulting from increased earnings from borrowings in U.S. dollar, Japanese Yen and euro due to the 31.9%, 72.1% and 24.1% devaluation, respectively, in 2008, as compared with an appreciation of 17.2%, devaluation of 1.1% and appreciation of 7.5%, respectively, in 2007 of the Brazilian real against these currencies and (ii) an increase (R$815.0 million) in expenses under forward contracts due to the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008.

Income from foreign exchange transactions increased by 17.1% from R$396.4 million in 2007 to R$464.2 million in 2008, primarily due to the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar by 31.9% in 2008.

Income from compulsory deposits increased by 18.1% from R$1,616.5 million in 2007 to R$1,909.8 million in 2008. This increase was due to an increase in the average balance of the portfolio in 2008 and the higher average SELIC rate in 2008 (12.49%) as compared to 2007 (11.88%).

Income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions totaled R$946.3 million in 2008. The Bank did not earn any income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions in 2007, as the Bank only began to consolidate its subsidiaries operating in those segments in March 2008.

Expenses from financial intermediation

   (44,296   100.0    (25,618   100.0    72.9
                          

The Bank’s expenses from financial intermediation increased by 72.9% from R$25,618.4 million in 2007 to R$44,296.3 million in 2008. This increase was primarily due to the factors described below.

Expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market increased by 43.5% from R$17,796.7 million in 2007 to R$25,531.7 million in 2008. The performance is mainly due to the increase by 26.1% in funds obtained in the money market, by 19.9% in the volume of savings deposits, by 173.4% in interbank deposits and by 75.0% in term deposits. The increase resulted specifically from: (i) an increase by 36.8%, or R$2,641.0 million in the cost of repurchase transactions conducted by the Bank due to an increase in the average balance of these transactions and increased average SELIC rate increased in 2008, corresponding to 12.49% as compared to 11.88% realized in 2007, (ii) an increase by 29.7%, or R$961.7 million in costs related to savings deposits, (iii) an increase of 67.6%, or R$4,268.9 million in costs related to term deposits, (iv) an increase in the average balances of deposits resulting from a movement of resources to large financial institutions known to have greater stability and safer investment alternatives after the onset of economic crisis in mid 2008 and (v) an increase resulting from the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008.

In analyzing the performance of expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market, the income from savings deposits is calculated and recorded based on the respective monthly anniversaries of the deposit dates. Moreover, at the closing of each month, proportional charges are recorded in order to comply with the accrual basis.

The recording of proportional charges is offset in the subsequent period in the expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market line item, except for amounts relating to June and December, which are recorded in other operating income in January and July. This occurs due to the closing of balances on the determination of results in each six-month period.

The Bank believes it is helpful to present proportional savings charges on an adjusted basis so that total expenses accurately reflect the related amounts relating thereto. Accordingly, the calculation of adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market presents the expenses relating to deposits and funds obtained in the money market, less non-recurring reversals of restatement charges on saving deposits. Adjusted expenses from deposits and funds obtained in the money market is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies. The table below supports these amounts.

Expenses from borrowings and onlendings increased from R$1,644.9 million in 2007 to R$8,684.6 million in 2008. Foreign exchange variation recorded in 2007 and 2008 was the largest contributor to such increase. While the Brazilian real appreciated by 17.2% in 2007, the Brazilian real depreciated by 31.9% in 2008. Additionally, borrowings and onlendings from BNDES increased by 28.2% and loans abroad increased by 68.3%. Further, the following also contributed to the overall increase: (i) an increase by R$3.745 billion in obligations to financial institutions, (ii) an increase by R$1,507.9 million in expenditures with foreign loans and (iii) an increase by R$1,505.3 million in expenses with foreign transfers.

Expenses from leases increased by 70.7% from R$499.3 million in 2007 to R$852.4 million in 2008, primarily due to an increase in the volume of the Bank’s leases in 2008.

The provision for credit transactions of the Bank increased by 51.6%, from R$5,677.4 million in 2007 to R$8,605.8 million in 2008. The breakdown of expenses relating to allowances for loan losses for transactions with and without credit characteristics, as well as for additional allowances, is set forth in the table below.

Total

   8,606       5,677       51.6   
                    

This increase resulted primarily from (i) an increase, corresponding to R$1,835.4 million, in additional provisions with respect to the total loan and (ii) an increase, corresponding to R$1,432.5 million, in provisions with respect to doubtful accounts, both of which resulted primarily from an increase in the Bank’s general lending activities.

Expenses from insurance, pension plans and capitalization transactions totaled R$621.9 million in 2008, compared to no expenses in 2007. This result was due to the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries operating in the insurance, pension plans and capitalization segments, beginning in March 2008.

Gross financial intermediation income

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s gross income from financial intermediation decreased by 15.4% from R$15,154.7 million in 2007 to R$12,819.4 million in 2008.

Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation

The Bank’s income from financial intermediation is affected by other items relating to financial intermediation which, due to the financial institution accounting chart (COSIF), are not recorded in income (loss) from financial intermediation.

 

- 85 -


These items include (i) foreign exchange gains (losses) on financial assets and liabilities of facilities abroad recorded in equity in the earnings (losses) of subsidiaries and affiliates, (ii) gains (losses) deriving from negative foreign exchange adjustments of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies recorded in Banco Múltiplo in other operating income/expenses, (iii) tax effect, recorded in tax expenses (indirect taxes) and expenses from income tax and social contribution on net income, used to reduce gains (losses) from hedging transactions for the purpose of hedging against the Bank’s foreign exchange exposure, the effects of which are recorded in financial intermediation and (iv) income from special operations and specific credits, subject to financial assets recorded in other credits and recorded in other operating income.

Accordingly, the Bank’s management believes that the disclosure of a non-GAAP measurement, set forth in the table below, that reconciles adjusted gross income from financial intermediation with gross income from financial intermediation, may be useful to investors. Adjusted gross income from financial intermediation is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

- 86 -


The Bank’s other operating expenses decreased by 85.4% from R$7,881.3 million in 2007 to R$1,149.9 million in 2008, primarily due to the factors described below.

Banking services increased 24.1% from R$7,323.5 million in 2007 to R$9,088.8 million in 2008. The growth by R$1,765 million, or 24.1%, is mainly due to the growth by R$1,033 million in income from credit cards. It should be mentioned that the growth in income from credit cards is mainly due to the proportional consolidation of Cielo operations in Banco do Brasil, which accounted for R$713 million, previously recorded in the equity method.

Banking fees increased by 5.6% from R$2,578.1 million in 2007 to R$2,722.0 million in 2008. The growth was 5.6% (R$144 million) compared to 2007. The main increase was in revenues from service packages by R$137 million, a growth by 7.8%, and a growth by 21.4% (R$78.9 million) in tariffs from loans and registration.

The Central Bank issued regulations that became effective in the second quarter of 2008 to collect fees from individuals. The Central Bank resolutions directly affected the income related to fees from loan operations and the fees from checking account.

With respect to the fees from loan operations and collateral provided, the regulations prohibited the collection of the credit facility opening fee, which resulted in a decrease in fees collected during 2008. With respect to the fees from checking accounts, the regulation prohibited the collection of checking account maintenance and check processing fees, among others. On the other hand, the impact of the regulation in absolute terms was minimized by the expansion of the Bank’s client base and the increase in income from fees arising out of other activities, such as income from credit cards (a 102.3% increase), asset management (a 16.7% increase) and collection (a 9.1% increase).

Personnel expenses decreased by 3.2% from R$9,161.1 million in 2007 to R$8,870.1 million in 2008. The decrease was mainly due to the drop by R$554 million in expenses with administrative and personnel provisions, as well as due to the decrease of R$297 million in expenses in benefits. These reductions were due to 2007 accounting issues, such as the restructuring of the health plan managed by CASSI, which resulted in the accounting of expenses in the amount of R$492 million, and the advanced withdrawal plan (PAA), also carried out in 2007, which resulted in the accounting of R$915 million in additional expenses. These reductions offset an increase of R$522.6 million in salaries resulting mainly from (i) wage increases under a collective bargaining agreement, (ii) the bonus plan for the 200th anniversary of the Bank and (iii) the consolidation of income of non-financial subsidiaries of the Bank, beginning in March 2008.

The Bank considers expenses relating to labor claims to be non-recurring and unrelated to current personnel expenses. In addition, the Bank considers expenses relating to the Cassi Plan restructuring and the PAA, to also be non-recurring.

Accordingly, after excluding these non-recurring events, the total amount of adjusted personnel expenses totaled R$7,077 million in 2007 and R$8,122 million in 2008. The table below shows the amounts of adjusted personnel expenses. Adjusted personnel expenses is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Other administrative expenses increased by 17.5% from R$6,735.4 million in 2007 to R$7,917.3 million in 2008. This growth followed the expansion of the Bank’s business during the period, which resulted in the general increase in administrative expenses, including: items which presented major growth were: (i) Third-party Services, R$285 million; (ii) Specialized Technical Services, R$164 million; (iii) Communications, R$129 million; and (iv) Legal Proceedings (except labor claims included in the Bank’s Personnel Expenses), R$112 million. The item was also affected by expenses of R$54 million, deriving from the substitution of the credit card base with magnetic reader for chips.

The Bank’s civil claims mainly consisted of differences between inflation rates and the rate used to restate financial investments during the period of economic plans (Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan (Plano Verão)). The Bank considers these expenses, totaling R$516 million in 2007 and R$629 million in 2008, to be non-recurring and unrelated to the Bank’s administrative activities.

Accordingly, after excluding the placement of chips in credit cards in 2008 (totaling R$54 million) and civil claims, other administrative expenses totaled R$6,218 million in 2007 and R$7,234 million in 2008. The table below shows the amounts of adjusted other administrative expenses.

Tax expenses increased by 27.7% from R$2,063.7 million in 2007 to R$2,634.9 million in 2008. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the Bank’s operating income for tax purposes in 2008.

The Bank’s equity in the earnings of affiliates and subsidiary companies increased from earnings of R$153.5 million in 2007 to earnings of R$1,394.2 million in 2008. This increase was primarily the result of the 31.9% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008, compared to the 17.2% appreciation in

 

- 88 -


2007, and the corresponding effect on the U.S. dollar-denominated capital of the Bank’s offshore branches, as well as earnings from the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries, beginning in March 2008.

Other operating income from insurance, pension plans and capitalization was R$892.4 million in 2008 compared to no income in 2007. This result was due to the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries operating in the insurance, pension plans and capitalization segments, starting in 2008.

Other operating income increased by 134.5% from R$5,023.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to R$11,780.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to (i) the recognition of an actuarial gain of R$5,412.4 million in 2008 relating to PREVI retirement and pension plan contributions pursuant to CVM Deliberation 371/00 and Resolution No. 26 of the Complementary Pension Management Board (CGPC), of September 29, 2008, (ii) an increase of R$1,374.6 million in rate equalization operations under Law No. 8,427 which, as from January 2008, has been accounted for in the other operating income line item and (iii) a R$721.0 million increase in other operating income from the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries, beginning in March 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 46.1% (R$865.8 million) in foreign exchange gains due to the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008, which resulted in expenses from the Bank’s foreign assets in these currencies.

Other operating expenses increased by 52.1% from R$4,999.8 million in 2007 to R$7,605.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase resulted mainly from (i) the recognition of an actuarial gain of R$1,259.4 million in 2008 relating to CASSI contributions, (ii) a 165.6% increase (R$747.9 million) in premiums paid to clients for fidelity and performance and (iii) R$767.6 million in other operating expenses from the consolidation of the Bank’s non-financial subsidiaries, starting in March 2008. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 56.1% (R$971.1 million) in foreign exchange loss adjustments resulting from the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2008.

Non-operating income

Non-operating income increased by 46.8% from R$281.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 to R$412.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, due to the changes in each of the accounts comprising Operating Results, as explained above.

Income tax and social contribution

Income tax increased 61.5% (R$1,373.8 million) in 2008, and social contribution expense increased by 156.6% (R$1,270.2 million) as a result of an increase in the Bank’s tax base in 2008. This increase was partially offset by an increase in deferred tax credits recorded in 2008 (R$3,544.8 million) as compared to 2007 (R$1,198.9 million) resulting from the effects of CMN Resolution No. 3,355 of March 31, 2006. See “Risks Relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry—The Bank might not be able to record all of its deferred tax credits” for more information regarding CMN Resolution No. 3,355.

Profit sharing

Participation in profits distributed among employees and board members of the Bank increased 74.7% from R$649.2 million in 2007 to R$1,134.1 million in 2008.

Net income and recurring net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Bank’s net income increased by 74.0% to R$8,802.9 million for the period ended December 31, 2008 from R$5,058.1 million for period ended December 31, 2007.

The Bank’s management believes that a presentation of net income that excludes the effects of non-recurring events, denoted as recurring income, is helpful to investors. Therefore, the Bank has excluded the

impact of certain applicable non-recurring events listed in the table below from net income. Recurring income is not a GAAP measure under Brazilian GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning. Accordingly, the Bank’s definition may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Bank maintains capital levels within the acceptable levels of its market risk and liquidity policies. Among the tools that management uses to manage liquidity risks is the plan of liquidity contingencies (Plano de Contingência de Liquidez), which is designed to alert management to control liquidity risks when projections of short-term liquidity levels below accepted minimum reserves. The Bank then increases levels of financial resources through its extensive branch network. The Bank believes it will be able to increase its financial resources through its branch network even in financial crisis scenarios. Therefore, the Bank believes it is unlikely that its capital levels will drop to a level where a Central Bank intervention would be required.

In the event the Bank fails to comply with the minimum capital requirements established by the Basel II Accord, the Bank could be compelled to curtail its lending activities and change its capital strategy. For more information see “—Capital Adequacy Information.”

The Net loan portfolio/total funding index was 73.6% in 2009, as compared to 70.4% in 2008 and 78.9% in 2007. Availability, as measured by the difference between total funding and net loan portfolio, reached R$100,713 million, as compared to R$88,565 million in 2008 and R$40,220 million in 2007. As of December 31, 2009, availability accounted for 26.4% of the Bank’s total funding.

The growth by 33.8% of the net loan portfolio was supported by the 27.8% increase of deposits and other sources of funding in 2009. Availability has increased in absolute terms, while the net loan portfolio/total funding index also increased by 3.20% as compared to 2008. However, this index has decreased compared to 2007, which indicates a growth potential for credit transactions as compared to total funding.

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had a 13.8% reduction in cash, as compared to December 31, 2009. The decrease is largely due to two factors: (i) reversal of anti-crisis measures implemented in January 2010, which increased the rate of mandatory withholdings and (ii) a 1.8% increase in the loan portfolio.

Sources of Funds

The main sources of funding for the Bank’s domestic lending operations, in reais and excluding lending and trade financing related to the federal government, are demand and savings deposits, Certificados de Depósito Bancário (CDBs) sold to individuals or non-financial institutional clients and CDIs sold to financial institutions. In addition, the Bank raises funds on the interbank market from time to time, as well as from short-term deposit operations received under security repurchase agreements that take advantage of opportunities arising from the Bank’s holding of government securities.

Deposit Accounts

The Bank’s deposits totaled R$342,624 million as of March 31, 2010, an increase of 1.5% as compared to December 31, 2009. The most significant Sources of funding was time deposits, which included escrow deposits, and accounted for 57.8% of total deposits. As shown in the table below, time deposits grew by 2.3%, or R$4,418 million. As of December 31, 2009, the balance of total deposits from consumers and companies, including demand deposits, savings deposits, interbank deposits, time deposits and other deposits totaled R$337,563.8 million, representing an increase of 24.6% compared to R$270,841.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The Brazilian currency deposit accounts of consumers and companies, which include demand deposits and savings accounts, accounted for 26.5% of the Bank’s total non-federal government funding as of December 31, 2009 (compared to 29.5% as of December 31, 2008). As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had a total volume of currency deposit accounts (demand and savings) of R$132,200.4 million, an increase of 23.7% compared to R$106,914.4 million as of December 31, 2008. The global economic crisis, which began in September 2008, partially contributed to such growth. Due to the crisis, various investors have transferred investments to more solid financial institutions, known as a “flight to quality,” which has resulted in substantial growth of the Bank’s funding transactions.

Demand Deposits. Demand deposits, which are credit balances in current accounts held with the Bank and no interest is paid to the depositor, totaled R$56,458.8 million as of December 31, 2009 (compared to R$51,949.0 million and R$51,311.0 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively), which accounted for 16.7% of the Bank’s total deposits by amount (compared to 19.3% and 27.2% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively). The consolidation of Nossa Caixa contributed R$4,161.3 million to the Bank’s total demand deposits as of December 31, 2009.

According to Central Bank data, as of December 31, 2009, the Bank held 33.5% (excluding Nossa Caixa data) of the total balance of demand deposits in Brazil compared to 32.4% as of December 31, 2008 and 29.4% as of December 31, 2007, which corresponded to the largest demand deposit base in Brazil.

 

- 92 -


As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had approximately 35.0 million demand deposit accounts (compared to 30.4 million and 27.4 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively), of which approximately 93.7% were in the name of individuals (compared to 93.8% and 93.9% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively).

Demand deposits. The Central Bank prescribes to all Brazilian banks certain uses for funds obtained from demand deposits and other sources (such as float on taxes and other collections). Pursuant to these prescribed uses, the Bank deposits 42.0% of its daily average balance of demand deposits in cash on a non-interest bearing basis. The Central Bank also requires that an additional 5.0% of such deposits be made with the Central Bank, in federal bonds linked to the SELIC rate. An additional 30.0% of such funds must be lent at reduced interest rates to various sectors of the agribusiness industry (other banks must use the same percentage of their demand deposits to fund mortgage loans) and 2.0% of such funds must be lent, also at reduced interest rates, to low income clients.

Savings deposits. As of December 31, 2009, savings deposits totaled R$75,741.6 million, compared to R$54,965.0 million and R$45,839.0 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, accounting for 22.4% of the total deposits maintained at the Bank (compared to 20.3% and 24.4% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively).

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had approximately 26.0 million savings deposit accounts, compared to 18.5 million and 16.7 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively), of which approximately 99.4% were in the names of individuals (compared to 98.3% and 99.3% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively).

The growth in savings deposits over the last three years was mainly due to the Bank’s continued implementation of its strategy to increase its savings client base. Following the onset of the economic crisis in mid-2008, the increase also reflects a movement of funds towards larger financial institutions recognized as having greater stability and safer forms of investments.

According to Central Bank regulations, banks in Brazil can offer two types of savings accounts, housing or agribusiness. CMN Resolution No. 3,549 of March 27, 2008 enables financial institutions offering agribusiness savings accounts to carry deposits in the Brazilian Savings and Loans System (Sistema Brasileiro de Poupança e Empréstimo or SBPE) of up to 10% of the total amount on deposit on the prior day. The Central Bank requires savings account deposits in Brazil to have a term of 30 days for consumers and a term of 90 days for “for-profit” corporations before interest can accrue. Yields earned on consumer savings accounts are tax free, whereas yields earned on corporate savings accounts incur income tax at a rate of 22.5%.

On April 28, 1982, the Bank entered into an agreement with POUPEX, which is managed by the Brazilian Army, under which the Bank has offered a special savings account. POUPEX is a civil partnership with the Army Housing Association (Fundação Habitacional do Exército or FHE), which collects, encourages and promotes savings. The Bank is compensated for its services through fees collected from the FHE. The balance of POUPEX accounts was R$2,129.0 million, R$1,782.3 million and R$1,568.2 million as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Time deposits. Time deposits are deposits made under securities repurchase agreements. The Bank raises funds borrowing under securities repurchase agreements that are primarily secured by government bonds held in its portfolio. The Bank also actively participates in the securities market at clients’ request.

As of December 31, 2009, borrowings under repurchase agreements totaled R$160,821.2 million (compared to R$91,130.3 million and R$72,270.1 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively) consisting of the Bank’s own portfolio (19.8%), third-party portfolios (80.1%), and other borrowings (0.1%). As of December 31, 2009, borrowings secured with federal government securities represented 71.0% of the Bank’s own portfolio and 97.4% of third-party portfolio borrowings.

 

- 93 -


Time deposits totaled R$193,515.6 million as of December 31, 2009 (compared to R$149,618.5 million and R$85,519.8 million as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively), accounting for 57.3% of the total deposits maintained at the Bank (compared to 55.2% and 45.4% as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively).

The significant increase in time deposits in 2008 and 2009 was mainly the result of the movement of funds towards larger financial institutions recognized as having greater stability and safer forms of investments, following the onset of the economic crisis in mid-2008. The growth in time deposits over the last three years also reflects the continued implementation by the Bank of its strategy to grow its deposit base, which resulted mainly in an increase in its CDBs).

With respect to time deposits, 62.9% of the deposits were in local currency as of March 31, 2010. At the end of March 2010, 30.5% of total time deposits related to remunerated escrow deposits. Together, these deposits accounted for more than 93% of total time deposits, as shown in the table below.

Other deposits. The Bank derives float income from acting as a collection agent for various federal and state taxes and for social security contributions. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank collected approximately 23.3% of all federal government taxes, compared to 23.2% as of December 31, 2008 and 23.0% as of December 31, 2007. In addition, the Bank acts as a paying agent for the federal government social security system.

In addition to the transactions described above, the Bank engages in other borrowings to fund its domestic and international operations. In addition to its traditional deposit products, the Bank, through BB DTVM, offers its clients access to a wide range of funds tailored to the needs of each of the following market segments: consumers, corporations, public sector, institutional investors and non-resident investors. Although these transactions do not directly generate liquidity for use in the Bank’s lending operations, the Bank believes that they are extremely important in terms of providing a competitive range of products and generating fee income.

Although the Central Bank makes a discount facility available to all Brazilian banks as a fallback Sources of liquidity, the Bank has never utilized this discount facility. The Bank does not grant security in respect of any of its funding obligations, other than funding in the overnight market, which is secured by the security being traded.

The Bank distinguishes “financing” from “loans and discounted bills” by defining financing as borrowings earmarked for a specific project or program, and classifying all other borrowings for working capital or other purposes as “loans.”

The Bank applies the same lending criteria to the agricultural sector as it applies to other loans. Loans extended by the Bank are principally made to the agricultural sector due to the regulatory requirements imposed on Brazilian banks by the Central Bank. These regulations require 30.0% of all demand deposits and 70.0% of all savings account deposits to be lent to the agricultural sector or used to acquire federal government securities. In the case of funding sourced from savings deposits, the interest rates charged to agricultural borrowers are lower than the costs of obtaining such funds by the Bank. As a result, the federal government pays the Bank the difference between the cost of funds and the margin of interest charged on these loans. This arrangement is referred to as the “equalization of rates.” The criteria and amounts subject to this “equalization” are agreed in advance between the Bank and the federal government, allowing these transactions to generate revenues for the Bank comparable with the minimum return on equity established annually by the Bank’s Board of Directors. The equalization amount also must be allocated in the federal government’s annual budget.

Indebtedness

Banco do Brasil issues securities in the foreign and domestic capital markets by using both subordinated debt instruments and hybrid capital and debt instruments. The purpose is to raise funds for free use and strengthen the Bank’s Regulatory Capital Value–RE with funds eligible to be treated as capital. These issuances are targeted at institutional buyers, financial institutions and private banking clients.

Moreover, for purposes of the regulatory capital composition, Banco do Brasil classifies funds from the Midwest Financing Constitutional Fund (FCO) as subordinated debt (CMN Vote No. 067/2001 and BACEN Official Letter—Direto No. 1.602/2001), which are eligible to be treated as capital due to the low level of requirements and long period of maintenance of these funds in the Bank. Accordingly, the amount of R$12,422 million as of December 31, 2009 and R$12,835 million as of March 31, 2010, constitutes regulatory capital Level II of the Bank.

* Micro and small companies.

The Bank’s acquisition of Nossa Caixa and a 50.00% interest in the total share capital of Banco Votorantim (consisting of 49.99% of voting share capital and 50.01% of non voting share capital) increased the Bank’s total credit portfolio by R$19,010 million and R$20,192 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2009, including R$15,080 million and R$13,126 million, respectively, in loans attributable to consumers.

The Brazilian government launched the Operating Guarantee Fund (FGO) in August 2009, a program that supplements, by up to 80%, guarantees required from companies for bank loans and financing. The program also expands the availability of credit to companies, in particular micro and small-sized companies, with competitive rates. From its inception through March 31, 2010, the program has launched 165,000 operations through FGO coverage with the Bank, totaling R$4.8 billion in guaranteed funds.

Pursuant to CMN regulations, no Brazilian financial institution is authorized to lend more than 25% of its regulatory capital value (subject to certain adjustments) to one client or group of clients under the same control. In the case of the Bank, this limit excludes loans made by the Bank at the risk of the federal government or as the federal government’s agent. The Bank’s internal policy is more conservative than the regulatory requirements of the CMN. WAL lending operations limited to the following maximum percentages of the Bank’s regulatory capital value:

 

   

1.0% per each individual (or group of individuals, acting either on his/her own or together with others, which represent a common economic interest);

 

   

10.0% per each corporate client or economic group;

 

   

15.0% per each other financial institution;

 

   

15.0% per each clearing system;

 

   

50.0% per each economic sector (corporate client), according to the internal classification of the Bank;

 

   

30.0% to all clearing systems in the aggregate; and

 

   

120.0% per each client or economic group whose total outstanding credit transactions exceed 2.0% of the Bank’s regulatory capital value.

Loan Loss History

Pursuant to Central Bank rules, financial institutions are required to classify corporate loan transactions in nine categories, ranging from AA to H, based on credit risk. Loan ratings are the responsibility of the financial institution extending the loan and must be assigned in accordance with the following factors set forth in the CMN Resolution 2,682, of December 21, 1999: (i) characteristics of the borrower and the guarantor, such as their respective economic and financial conditions, debt level, ability to generate profit, cash flows, management and internal control level, delinquency in payments, contingencies, economic industry and credit limits; and (ii) characteristics of the transaction, such as the nature and purpose, sufficiency of collateral, liquidity level and overall loan and collateral amount. For individual loans, the loan is classified based the individual’s income, net equity and credit history (as well as other personal information).

Regulations set out, for each loan category, a minimum allowance as follows:

The Bank’s allowance for loan losses totaled R$18.3 billion as of March 31, 2010 and R$18.6 billion as of December 31, 2009, as compared to R$13.8 billion and R$10.3 billion as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, transactions in default and allowances for loan losses represented 5.1% and 6.2% of the Bank’s total credit portfolio, respectively. If only transactions with one or more installments outstanding for over 60 days were considered, allowances for loan losses would have covered 519.6% of the principal amount of those transactions. As of December 31, 2008, transactions in default and allowances for loan losses represented 4.1% and 6.2% of the Bank’s total credit portfolio, respectively. If only transactions with one or more installments outstanding for over 60 days were considered, allowances for loan losses would have covered 802.6% of the principal amount of those transactions, compared to 623.5% as of December 31, 2007.

Due to the Bank’s conservative position with respect to potential loss scenarios, the Bank established additional allowances for loan losses and recorded the following total allowance amounts in the periods indicated:

Capital Adequacy Information

CMN Resolution No. 2,099 created a capital measurement for Brazilian financial institutions based on a risk-weighted asset ratio. The framework of this methodology is based on, but different in certain important aspects from, the Basel II Accord. Under this regulation, as a general rule, Brazilian financial institutions are required to maintain minimum regulatory capital of at least 11.0% of total risk-weighted assets, valued in accordance with the risk weighting criteria set out in Annex IV to the Resolution.

As part of the process of implementation of the Basel II Accord, the CMN, pursuant to Resolution No. 3,490, set forth the required referential equity amount (PRE) to substitute the required stockholders’ equity (PLE) (revoking Annex IV to Resolution No. 2,099), among other new requirements. Regulatory Capital Value is comprised mainly of Tier 1 Capital (stockholders’ equity and other similar instruments) and Tier 2 Capital (subordinated debt). See “—Capital Adequacy” and “Regulation of the Brazilian Banking Industry—Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards” for more information.

The Central Bank prescribes two forms of financial statement consolidation: the financial conglomerate method, for the consolidation of financial companies, and the economic financial method, for the consolidation of financial and non-financial companies. All capital adequacy information provided below and elsewhere in this reference form limited translation as of March 31, 2010 and as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was prepared on the basis of the financial conglomerate method of consolidation.

Referring to PCAM, PJUR, PCOM and PACS portions, Circulars No. 3,361 to 3,364, 3,366 and 3,368, all dated September 12, 2007; and Circular No. 3,389. Until June 2008 (Basel I Accord), this item was comprised of the portions of the foreign exchange exposure requirement and interest rate exposure requirement.

(3)

Referring to the POPR portion, a new requirement in the Basel II Accord, pursuant to Circular No. 3,383.

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s capital ratio calculated according to the Basel II Accord criteria was 13.7%, compared to 15.6% as of December 31, 2008. According to current legislation, the Bank’s risk-weighted capital ratio was 15.6% as of December 31, 2007. Following its acquisition of a 50.00% interest in the total share capital of Banco Votorantim (consisting of 49.99% of voting share capital and 50.01% of non-voting share capital), as of December 31, 2009, the Bank’s risk-weighted capital ratio was 13.7%. In addition, as the Bank’s business continues to expand, its risk-weighted capital ratio will continue to decrease without the Bank raising additional regulatory capital. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry—Acquisition of interest in Banco Votorantim” for additional information.

Interest rate and exchange rate sensitivity

In line with best market practices, the Bank actively manages risks by identifying, assessing, monitoring and controlling market risk exposures associated with its own positions. For this purpose, the Bank considers the risk limits established by the Strategic Committees, as well as possible loss scenarios to timely reverse any adverse results.

In conformity with National Monetary Council Resolution No. 3,464/2007 and Central Bank Circular No. 3,354/2007, and in order to enhance efficiency in management of market risks to which its operations are exposed, the Bank segregates its operations, including derivatives financial instruments, as described below:

 

   

Trading Book: includes all securities held by the Bank for trading or hedging purposes, which are meant to be sold before maturity, under usual market conditions, and which have no trading restrictions.

 

   

Banking Book: includes securities not classified in the Trading Book, the main characteristic of which is that they are meant to be held to maturity.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments (IFD) to manage, on a consolidated basis, its positions and to meet the clients’ needs, by classifying IFDs in hedging positions (market risk and cash flow risk) and trading positions, both with limits and levels of responsibility. With respect to the options market, the gain positions list Banco do Brasil as the owner, while the loss positions list Banco do Brasil as the issuer.

The Bank adopts statistical methodologies and simulations to measure its position risks, including a derivatives, through risk value models, sensibility and stress analyses. The models adopted in the management of derivative risks are reviewed periodically and decisions take into account the best risk/return relation, by estimating the possible losses based on the macroeconomic scenario analysis. The hedge strategy of the equity positions, as approved by the Board of Directors, is also based on the macroeconomic analyses.

The main risks related to the IFD arise from the Bank’s businesses and include credit, market and operational risks, all similar to those related to other types of financial instruments.

The credit risk represents exposure to losses in the event of lack of payment by any of the parties as required. The credit risk exposure related to futures contracts is reduced due to daily settlement in cash. The swap contracts, filed with Cetip, are subject to credit risk in the event the delinquent party is not able to, or fails to, comply with its contractual obligations. Swap contracts registered with BM&FBOVESPA are not subject to the same risk, since the Bank’s operations on this stock exchange are not guaranteed by it. The Bank’s losses associated with option agreements are limited to the extension of premiums paid under options acquired.

Market risk represents the exposure resulting from potential variation in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodities quotation, stock market prices and other values, and varies based on the type of product, volume of operations, terms and conditions of the agreement and underlying volatility.

Operational risk determines the probable financial losses resulting from failures or improper persons, procedures and systems, or factors, such as catastrophic events or crimes.

The table below sets forth the gains (losses) from IFD operations not realized in 2009:

The Bank provides guarantees to consumers and companies, including other financial institutions authorized to operate through BACEN, upon the collection of financial charges and guarantees provided by the beneficiaries, under domestic or foreign currencies, in Brazil or abroad. The guarantees include, mainly, when provided in Brazil, sureties, pledges and guarantee letters. With respect to operations backed by international guarantees, the types adopted by the Bank include bid bonds, performance bonds, repurchase agreements, international sureties, international pledges and standby credit letters.

The guarantees provided to third parties amount to R$12,777 million on March 31, 2010, R$12,553 million on December 31, 2009, and R$6,437 million in 2008, for which a provision considered sufficient was recorded in the amount of R$71.7 million on March 2010 (R$70.2 million at the end of 2009 and R$40.5 million in 2008) and recorded under other obligations.

In view of default risk, guarantee agreements may be honored by the Bank. If that happens, the operations are recorded as assets under receivables for guarantees honored, in accordance with the rules of the National Monetary Council, and become a past-due credit operation.

Operations with characteristics of credit extension are classified according to management’s judgment as to their risk level, considering economic conditions, past experience and the specific risks related to each operation, the debtors and the guarantors, in conformity with the provisions of National Monetary Council Resolution No. 2,682/1999. This Resolution requires that credit portfolios be periodically analyzed and classified into nine risk levels, from AA (minimum risk) to H (maximum risk), and operations past-due over 15 days should be classified as overdue operations.

Receivables from credit operations past due for more than 60 days, regardless of their risk level, should be recognized as revenue only when effectively received.

 

- 107 -


The operations classified as level H, which remain classified at this level for 180 days, are written off against the existing provision, controlled for five years and then no longer included on the balance sheet.

Renegotiated operations are maintained at least at the same level they were classified. Renegotiations of credit operations already written off against provisions are classified as level H, and any gains from renegotiation are recognized as revenue only when effectively received.

The provision for loan losses is considered adequate by management and meets the minimum requirement established by National Monetary Council Resolution No. 2,682/1999.

Unused credit lines

Amongst the commitments assumed by Banco do Brasil, there are credit lines not used in the credit and leasing operations totaling R$76,848 million as of March 31, 2010 (R$74,834 million as of December 31, 2009 and R$36,955 million as of 2008). Such transactions, when financially concluded, will be recorded on the balance sheet pursuant to the extended credit facility.

Import and export letters of credit

With respect to foreign trade operations, the import and export letters of credit amounted to R$1,257 million as of March 31, 2010 (R$1,263 million in 2009 and R$830 million in 2008). Such transactions will be part of Banco do Brasil’s credit portfolio when the import and export agreements are executed.

Investments

The Bank makes substantial investments in its branch network, infrastructure and technology to improve the quality and efficiency of its operations. The Bank views these investments as essential to its competitiveness with private sector retail and commercial banks. In 2009, the Bank invested R$1,349.4 million in technology and infrastructure, compared to R$1,148.2 in 2008 and R$688.6 million in 2007. The Bank intends to invest approximately R$2,134 million in infrastructure and technology for 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The following assets, not recorded in the balance sheet of the Bank, are described in the explanatory notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 2009: (i) tax credits not included in assets; (ii) derivative financial instruments agreements; (iii) security agreements; (iv) credit lines not used and (v) import and export credit letters.

The Bank does not otherwise have any material off-balance sheet transactions. The Bank records funding transactions conducted by special purpose entities on its balance sheet.

The Bank’s Reserves with the Central Bank

The Bank’s reserves deposited with the Central Bank totaled R$47,244 million on March 31, 2010, compared to R$25,543 million as of March 31, 2009 and R$24,279.8 million, R$20,882.1 million and R$32,278.0 million as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, representing mandatory deposits and other accounts sources mainly due to the increase of the additional mandatory rates, pursuant to Circular No. 3,486 of 2010. For a discussion of Central Bank’s requirements for mandatory reserves, see “Regulation of the Brazilian Banking Industry—Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards.”

Credit and Risk Control

Risk Management at Banco do Brasil

Banco do Brasil regards the management of risks and capital as a critical component of its business activities, allowing for increased stability, better allocation of capital and optimization of its risk/return ratio. Therefore, the Bank makes investments to continuously improve its risk management process and practices, using international market references and the New Basel Accord II, known as Basel II, as guides.

Corporate Governance of Risks

The corporate governance of risks at Banco do Brasil involves a committee and sub-committee structure and entails (a) separation of duties (business vs. risk), (b) specific structures to assess and manage risk, (c) a defined risk process, (d) decision-making at several command chain levels, and (e) clear rules and authority structure, and application of best management practices.

All decisions related to risk management are made by a committee in accordance with the guidelines and standards of the Bank. Risk Governance at Banco do Brasil, including the multiservice bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is centralized at the Global Risk Committee (CRG), consistency of members of the Board of Directors, whose main purpose is to establish strategies for risk management, global exposure limits, compliance levels and allocation of capital based on risks.

Aimed at strengthening the management process, credit risk (SRC), market and liquidity risk (SRML) and operational risk (SRO) subcommittees have been created to provide the CRG with the information and tools necessary to make certain decisions pursuant to the CRG’s delegation of authority. Decisions are communicated to the areas involved by means of resolutions that express objectively the position taken by Management, ensuring implementation at all levels of the Bank.

Liquidity Risk

The Bank maintains liquidity levels that are consistent with the institution’s obligations in Brazil and abroad, due to its broad and diverse base of depositors and the quality of its assets, its branch network of external operations and its international capital market access. The Bank’s strict control of liquidity risk is in line with conglomerate’s liquidity and market risk policy designed to meet the requirements imposed by regulatory banking rules in Brazil and other markets where the Bank operates.

Management tools in place at the Conglomerate are short-, medium-, and long-term protection of liquidity, which allow management to assess the effect of mismatches between raising and using capital. These projections are aimed at identifying situations that could jeopardize the liquidity of the institution, taking into account the institution’s budget and external market conditions.

With regard to the limits of liquidity risk, the Liquidity Reserve is used to manage short-term operational liquidity of domestic and international areas. It is the minimum level of high liquidity assets to be maintained by the Bank, consistent with risk exposure related to its operations and market conditions. The Liquidity Reserve, monitored daily, is used as a parameter to identify a liquidity crisis and, if necessary, set in motion the contingency plan.

In planning and implementing its annual budget, Banco do Brasil uses the Free Resources Availability indicator (DRL), which ensures a balance between raising and applying funds in the commercial portfolio and securing liquidity funding with structural features. The DRL limit set annually by the Global Risk Committee (CRG) and monitored on a monthly basis, is used in guiding the implementation and planning of the budget, in accordance with targeted commercial fund raising and the liquidity management process set by the Board of Directors.

Credit Risk

Credit risk policies are intended to ensure that (i) decisions are made seamlessly, (ii) credit risk management continually improves, (iii) the integrity of credit assets and related exposure levels and (iv) the Bank’s standards of quality continue to rise. These policies apply to all businesses that incur credit risk.

The Bank also has policies in place that deal with risk-adjusted return, maximum regulatory capital commitment percentages, credit risk analysis processes, approval of transactions and audit practices.

Regarding client risk analysis, Banco do Brasil employs credit scoring and credit rating models.

With respect to the credit scoring model, the Bank examines the likelihood of default, reviews the client during an observation period, examines the client’s history and timeliness of loan payments based on information on file and classifies the client as a good or bad payor.

The credit rating model is used to classify companies into credit risk categories, using quantitative and qualitative criteria.

In addition to these two models, the Bank began to assess its clients’ risks based on the probability of default and sorted clients into nine risks ranges (from AAA to E).

The Bank also uses a model to rate the risk of a transaction, in compliance with CMN Resolution No. 2,682/99. This Resolution classifies credit transactions into nine risk levels.

The performance of these models is monitored with regular testing.

Management of Credit Risk

In order to meet Basel II requirements and best risk management practices. The Bank has developed its own methodology for calculating risk components: expected default frequency (FEI), loss to default (PDI), and credit risk exposure, each of which are used to measure economic capital (EC) and expected loss (PE).

The internal model to calculate the credit VaR is based on actuarial standards used in the banking industry. The VaR of a loan portfolio is associated with an aggregate loss distribution for a given level of confidence. The average of such distribution is expected loss, which represents how much the Bank expects to lose, on average, over a given period of time. Capital budget, in turn, is associated with unexpected loss, and is the difference between VaR and PE. The Bank protects itself from expected loss through provisions and it protects itself from capital budget by allocating capital as necessary to cover exposure.

Distribution of aggregate loss is calculated based on the following risk components: FEI, PDI and exposure subject to credit risk.

Measuring credit VaR provides information that allows the Bank to assess the risk and return of its loan portfolio, as well as establish limits for its loan portfolio. This assessment has helped the Bank in its decision-making, providing historical information and allowing a determination of risk trends. Moreover, using credit VaR has been invaluable in spreading credit risk management throughout the Bank.

With respect to assessing returns, the Bank uses PE and EC values to calculate risk-adjusted return RAR. The aim of RAR is to support key decision-making processes within the Bank. Historical monitoring of risk and return assessment for analyzed loan portfolios allows RAR to be a consideration in the Bank’s decisions.

Besides these techniques for identifying and measuring risks, the Bank monitors and controls the concentration of credit risk as it relates to risk exposure and regulatory capital commitment.

The most important credit risk regulations are Resolution No. 3,721, of April 30, 2009, which establishes guidelines for implementing credit risk management structures in financial and other institutions accredited by the Central Bank and Press and Communication 18,365, of April 22, 2009, which lists preliminary criteria for using an internal models based approach. The criteria identified are already included in the Bank’s preparation for compliance with the new guidelines of Basel II.

Operational Risk

Policies

The Bank’s operational risk policies, which are reviewed annually and approved by the Board of Directors, contain guidance for each area of the Bank and are intended to ensure the effectiveness of the Bank’s operational risk management model.

These policies, which meet the provisions required by Basel II and CMN Resolution No. 3,380, are woven into the Bank’s operational risk management activities and aim to identify, assess, measure, mitigate, manage and monitor operational risks inherent in the Bank’s products, services, processes and systems.

Management

In complying with the New Basel Accord and CMN Resolution No. 3,380, operational risk is defined as the possibility of losses resulting from failure, fault or unsuitability of internal processes, people and systems or external events.

This concept includes legal risk and highlights the potential causes of an operational risk event. These potential causes, or risk factors, are broken down into sub-factors that identify the operational risks to which the Bank is exposed.

Limits of Exposure to Operating Losses

To ensure effective management of operational risk, the Bank uses operational loss exposure limits, which are designed to establish acceptable levels of operating losses and are monitored monthly by the CRG and operational risk subcommittee.

The Bank has also created an overall operational loss limit to enable management of operational losses within statistically predetermined tolerance levels and identification of process weaknesses that could cause significant losses.

BANKING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Evolution of the Brazilian Banking Industry

The Brazilian banking industry has experienced a major structural change, evolving from operating in a high-inflation environment in the 1980s and early 1990s, to operating in a low-inflation environment combined with more macroeconomic and monetary stability as of 1994, when the Real was introduced as Brazil’s currency.

The monetary stability achieved in 1994 led to sustained growth in credit demand in Brazil. This growth, combined with the loss of inflationary profits, caused the banking industry to improve its efficiency ratios and increase revenues from services. As a result, the banking industry entered a period of rationalization and consolidation. The federal government has been monitoring this process closely, creating programs aimed at protecting the economic situation of average Brazilians, including measures to ensure the solvency of institutions and increase competition among private banks. The federal government also reduced entry restrictions to foreign banks in the Brazilian market.

In the last two years, in particular since middle 2008, the global banking industry was seriously affected by the financial crisis, which contributed significantly to the reduction of the assets of this industry. The effects of the crisis in Brazil were relatively moderate in comparison with the effects in the United States and Europe. While liquidity in the Brazilian banking sector was, in a certain manner, affected by the financial global crisis, the Central Bank assured availability of enough liquidity in the Brazilian market during this period through several measures, mainly in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Despite that Brazil still has a low penetration ratio in terms of persons utilizing banking products when compared to more developed countries, such penetration has been increasing significantly over the last few years. According to the Brazilian bank association (“Federação Brasileira de Bancos” or “FEBRABAN”), approximately 40 million Brazilians have no access to banking services.

The table below shows the evolution of the volume of loans within the Brazilian financial system which are granted by financial institutions with funds not required to be used for any particular purpose under applicable regulation (“Free Funds”).

Main Financial Institutions

Brazilian financial system (“Sistema Financeiro Nacional”)

The Brazilian financial system is subject to several regulatory and supervisory authorities, including the National Monetary Council (“Conselho Monetário Nacional” or “CMN”), the Central Bank, the CVM, the SUSEP, the Complementary Pension Secretariat (“Secretaria de Previdência Complementar” or “SPC”) and the National Superintendence of Complementary Pension (Superintendência Nacional de Previdência Complementar—PREVIC), which are subordinated to several entities and institutions.

Private Sector

The private financial sector of the Brazilian financial system includes, among others, multiple-service banks, commercial banks, investment banks, credit, finance and investment companies, securities dealers, stock brokerage firms, real estate financing companies, leasing companies and factoring companies.

According to the latest information available on the Central Bank’s website, updated as of March 31, 2010, there were 2,337 financial institutions regulated and supervised by the Central Bank, including:

 

   

19 Commercial Banks—financial institutions that receive current account deposits, grant short- and medium-term loans and are engaged in wholesale and retail banking;

 

   

16 Investment Banks—financial institutions specialized in medium- and long-term loans and asset management services. These banks do not hold demand deposits and their main sources of funding are time deposits or foreign loans for local onlending. Their main lending transactions are working capital and loans for fixed capital, securities underwriting and trading, interbank deposits and onlending of foreign loans; and

 

   

138 Multiple-Service Banks—financial institutions authorized to engage in multiple financial activities pursuant to applicable laws and regulations governing each type of activity, such as commercial, investment and credit transactions. Such banks are authorized to provide a full range of commercial and investment banking services (including securities underwriting and trading), leasing and other services, such as real estate loans and fund management.

 

- 113 -


Public Sector

Despite the privatization process both at a federal and state levels, the federal government and several state governments still control many major commercial banks and financial institutions, with the purpose of encouraging the development of the Brazilian economy, primarily with respect to the agricultural, industrial and housing sectors. Such institutions hold a substantial portion of deposits and assets in the financial system and play a major role in relation to savings accounts, mortgage notes and agricultural loans. In addition, development banks act as regional development agencies.

In addition to the Bank itself, the most important federal government-controlled banks are:

 

   

Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social—BNDES: the main agent of the federal government’s investment policy, providing long-term financing for Brazil’s development and to strengthen domestic companies.

 

   

Caixa Econômica Federal—CEF: the main agent of the federal government’s housing policy. CEF accepts demand and savings deposits and provides housing finance, participating in urban infrastructure projects and consumer lending.

In addition to the institutions above, the following are also considered part of the public sector of the Brazilian financial system: (i) state and regional development banks; (ii) state savings banks; and (iii) federal and state-controlled commercial and multiple-service banks.

The Main Markets of the Bank

The Brazilian Consumer Lending Market

According to the Central Bank, the total amount of credit transactions to consumers increased by an average increase of 18.5% between 2006 and 2009 (annual increase composed rate), reaching R$319.4 billion as of December 31, 2009. At that date, credit to consumers and financing of vehicles represented 82.5% of the total consumer credit transactions to consumers. The credit to individuals continued its expansion in the first quarter of 2010, reaching R$340.2 billion as of March 31, 2010.

Overdraft Facilities

Overdraft facilities have higher interest rates than other financing alternatives. The overdraft contract is renewed on a monthly basis and the overdue interest is incorporated into the principal amount of the loan, if not paid by the due date.

Consumer credit

Consumer credit is frequently used by consumers who have limited access to credit facilities and is characterized by high interest rates due to the high default rates. Credit is made available in a lump sum to the consumer who repays the loan in monthly installments.

Financing for Vehicles

The vehicle financing market is dominated by the large retail banks, which have gradually taken over the position that was held in the past by the financial companies of vehicles manufacturers. Interest rates in this market are highly competitive. Smaller institutions in this market primarily focus on the used car market. Default rates are relatively low and loans are secured by the financed asset, which can be repossessed and publicly auctioned in the event of default.

Credit Card Financings

The large retail banks are the major players in the credit card financing market. Credit card financings have high rates of default and, consequently, interest rates for consumers are high.

Credit Plans

In-store financing still is the most fragmented of all consumer financing segments in Brazil. Historically, large retailers financed their consumers’ purchases, but retailers and banks have recently entered into joint ventures in connection with those financings. In-store financing can be used for durable goods, such as construction materials and home appliances, as well as non-durable goods, such as clothing and food items.

Market for Payroll Deduction loans

Payroll deduction loans increased with the demand for alternative sources of credit. Historically, traditional credit facilities have been expensive for consumers for different reasons, including competition dynamics within the banking industry, the legal and institutional structure of the industry and the nature of underlying credit risks. According to Central Bank statistics, as of December 31, 2006, Brazilian retail banks charged average interest rates of 142.0% per year on overdraft facilities, and 57.2% per year on consumer credit facilities (excluding the payroll deduction loans). At that time, interest rates for vehicle financings were 32.3% per year on average, while the interest rate for payroll deduction loans were 33.3% per year on average. On December 31, 2009, the average rates for overdraft facilities, consumer credit facilities (excluding the payroll deduction loans), vehicle finance and payroll deduction loans were 159.1%, 44.4%, 25.4% and 27.2%. As of March 31, 2010, interest rates for overdraft facilities, consumer credit facilities (excluding payroll deduction loans), vehicle financing and payroll deduction loans were 160.3%, 42.7%, 23.5% and 27.0%, respectively.

Payroll deduction loans have been the fastest-growing form of consumer financing over the last few years. According to information published by the Central Bank, its percentage of total financing to consumers is 67.5% on March 31, 2010. Payroll deduction loans are made available to a segment of the Brazilian population without access to a regular bank account or traditional banking distribution channels.

Agricultural Credit Market

Agribusiness plays a strategic role in the Brazilian economy, primarily by generating funds for the country’s trade balance from exports. The agricultural credit market is subject to current regulations and legislation and to the rules set forth by the Rural Credit Manual (“Manual”). Rural credit operations are considered to be those in which National Rural Credit System (“SNCR”) institutions supply funds for the purposes specified in the Manual and in accordance with its provisions.

The main objectives of agricultural credit are to: (i) foster agricultural investments in the production, storage, processing and industrialization of agricultural and livestock farming products; (ii) favor the timely and appropriate funding of agricultural and livestock farming production and commercialization; (iii) strengthen the agricultural sector; and (iv) encourage the introduction of rational methods in the production system, aiming at increasing productivity, improving the standard of living of agricultural communities and adequately protecting the soil.

Rural credit can be used for the following purposes: (i) funding; (ii) investment; and (iii) commercialization. Funding credit is used for covering normal production cycle expenses. Investment loans are used for investing in goods or services, the benefits of which are reflected over various production cycles. Commercialization loans are to cover expenses during the post-production phase or to convert into cash the receivables coming from the sale or delivery of products by the producers or their cooperatives.

The funds earmarked for the agricultural sector are divided into regulated and non-regulated funds. Operations secured by regulated funds are subject to the CMN’s normal financial charges, in accordance with the underlying goods to which the loans refer.

The regulated agricultural credit funds include: (i) compulsory funds, calculated on demand deposits and subject to the compulsory payments made by financial institutions (MCR 6-2); (ii) official credit operations, monitored by the Ministry of Finance; (iii) the rural savings account, the worker protection fund and the “extra-market” investment fund, when in connection with operations subsidized by the federal government in the form of financial charges’ equalization; and (iv) others that may be specified by the CMN.

 

- 116 -


Financial charges on operations covered by non-regulated agricultural credit funds can be freely negotiated between the borrower and the lender.

The total volume of agricultural credit in Brazil has grown significantly over the last few years, from R$66.0 billion in 2005 to R$112.3 billion in 2009, with a compounded annual growth rate of 14.3%. As of March 31, 2010, the total balance of rural loans was R$114.9 billion

Insurance, Capitalization and Open-Ended Private Pension Plans

The insurance market closed the year 2009 with direct premiums of R$76.7 billion in comparison with R$67.8 billion of 2008, representing an increase of 13.1% in the period. The retained premiums increased to R$72.3 billion in 2009, with growth of 22.5% per year. Supplementary open-ended private pension plans closed the year with contributions of R$8.2 billion and the capitalization segment with R$10.1 billion in premiums, as reported by SUSEP.

The open-ended private pension plans, in the Life–Free Benefit Generator (Vida Gerador de Benefício Livre, or VGBL) plan, accrued premiums of R$30.1 billion in 2009, in comparison with R$23.6 billion in 2008, with an increase of 27.9% in the period.

In 2009, capitalization companies also had positive results, accumulating R$14.9 billion in provisions, which represented an expansion of 11.1% in relation to the same period in 2008, as reported by SUSEP.

In the first quarter of 2010, the insurance, capitalization and the VGBL segment continued its expansion, as indicated below:

REGULATION OF THE BRAZILIAN BANKING INDUSTRY

General

The basic institutional framework of the Brazilian Financial System was established by the Banking Reform Law. The Banking Reform Law created the CMN (defined below) and granted the Central Bank, among others, the right to issue Brazil’s currency and exercise credit control.

Main Regulatory Agencies

National Monetary Council (CMN)

The CMN is the highest authority of the Brazilian Financial System, responsible for monetary, credit, budgeting, fiscal and public-debt policies. CMN policies include, among other objectives, the following:

 

   

adjusting the volume of currency to the needs of the Brazilian economy;

 

   

regulating the domestic value of the currency;

 

   

regulating the external value of the currency and the country’s balance of payments;

 

   

regulating the establishment and operation of financial institutions;

 

   

directing the investment of funds by government-owned or private financial institutions;

 

   

enabling improvement of the resources of financial institutions and of financial instruments;

 

   

monitoring the liquidity and solvency of financial institutions;

 

   

coordinating monetary, credit, budgeting, fiscal and public-debt policies;

 

   

establishing the policy to be followed in the organization and operation of the Brazilian securities market; and

 

   

establishing standards and rules for currency exchange policies, including purchase and sale of gold and transactions in foreign currencies.

The Minister of Finance is the chairman of the CMN, which is also composed of the Ministry of Planning, Budgeting and Management and the President of the Central Bank.

The Central Bank

The Banking Restructuring Law No. 4,595/64 empowered the Central Bank of Brazil to implement the monetary and credit policies of the CMN, as well as to supervise public and private financial institutions and, when needed, apply the penalties set forth in the law to such institutions. Further, it also made the Central Banks responsible for, among others, controlling credit and foreign capital, receiving mandatory payments and voluntary demand deposits made by financial institutions, engaging in rediscount operations and loans to financial banking institutions, and being the depository of official reserves of gold and foreign currency. The Central Bank also controls and approves the operation, control transfer, and corporate reorganization of financial institutions, as well as the transfer of the location of its branches (in Brazil or abroad). The Central Bank is also responsible to require periodic disclosure of financial institution’s financial statements.

 

- 118 -


The President of the Central Bank is appointed by the President of Brazil, subject to ratification by the Senate, to hold office for an indefinite period of time.

The CVM

The Brazilian Securities Commission (“Comissão de Valores Mobiliários” or “CVM”), is the agency responsible for implementing CMN policy for the securities market and regulating, developing, controlling and supervising the securities market, pursuant to the Securities Law and Brazilian Corporations Law. With headquarters in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, and jurisdiction over the entire Brazilian territory, the CVM is an agency of the Ministry of Finance. It is an independent legal entity with its own legal identity and assets.

The CVM is responsible, among other things, for regulating, monitoring and inspecting public companies, the trading and intermediation in the securities and derivatives markets, the organization, functioning and operation of stock exchanges and commodities and futures exchanges, and the management and custody of securities.

Pursuant to Law No. 10,303 of October 31, 2001, the regulation and supervision of mutual and investment funds (originally regulated and supervised by the Central Bank) were transferred to the CVM.

The CVM is managed by a president and four officers appointed by the President of Brazil among individuals of high reputation who are known for their expertise in matters of capital markets and whose appointment shall be ratified by the Senate. The term of office of CVM officers is five years, reappointment is not permitted and one fifth of such officers are appointed each year.

Brazilian Council of Private Insurance (“CNSP”)

The CNSP establishes the guidelines and rules governing private insurance policies. The CNSP is comprised of the Minister of Finance (Chairman), members appointed by the Ministries of Justice and Social Security, the SUSEP, the Central Bank and CVM. CNSP’s duties include: (i) regulating the establishment, organization, operation and oversight of those who conduct activities subject to the Brazilian Private Insurance System (SNSP), as well as the enforcement of penalties; (ii) setting the general provisions for insurance contracts, pension plans, capitalization and reinsurance; and (iii) establishing the general guidelines of reinsurance operations.

Council for Management of Complementary Pension (“CGPC”)

The CGPC is a decision-making panel within the Social Security Ministry authorized to regulate and coordinate the operations of pension plan companies. CGPC is the ultimate ruling authority in appeals filed against decisions of the Pension Plan Secretariat.

SUSEP

The Private Insurance Superintendence (“SUSEP”) is the regulatory authority charged with controlling and monitoring the insurance, pension plan, capitalization and reinsurance markets in Brazil. It is a division within the structure of the Ministry of Finance created by Decree-law No. 73 of 21 Nov 1966.

SPC

The Pension Plan Secretariat (“SPC”), created by Decree No. 81,240, of January 20, 1978, is the regulatory authority overseeing pension plan companies.

Legal Reform of Brazilian Banking System

Article 192 of the Brazilian Constitution (the “Constitution”), enacted in 1988, set a maximum per annum interest rate of 12% on bank loans. However, the limit has not been enforced since the enactment of the Constitution because regulation of said article is still pending. Several attempts to regulate the maximum interest on bank loans have been unsuccessful.

In May 2003, Constitutional Amendment 40 (“EC 40/03”) was approved in lieu of Article 192 of the Constitution. EC 40/03 replaced the restrictive constitutional provisions on the maximum interest rate by granting overall authority to the National Congress to regulate the Brazilian Financial System through specific legislation.

After the enactment of the Brazilian Civil Code, the maximum interest rate was indexed to the basic interest rate (SELIC rate), unless parties agreed to an interest rate other than that provided by law.

Presently, it is uncertain as to which rate should apply: the SELIC rate, or the 12% per annum rate set forth in the Constitution, and whether such limit applies to financial institutions.

Foreign Investments

Foreign Banks

The Brazilian Constitution prohibits foreign financial institutions from opening branches in Brazil, unless authorized by the Brazilian Government.

Foreign Investments in Brazilian Financial Institutions

The Brazilian Constitution permits individuals and companies residing, or incorporated abroad, to invest in the voting capital of Brazilian financial institutions, provided that such investments are within the limits set forth by the Central Bank and, as the case may be, by the President of Brazil. Foreign investors who have not obtained such specific authorization may, however, by public negotiation, acquire non-voting shares issued by Brazilian financial institutions or depositary receipts representing non-voting shares, offered abroad through public offerings.

The Role of the Government in the Brazilian Banking System

In light of the global financial crisis, on October 6, 2008, the Brazilian President issued a provisional measure on the internal use of reserves denominated in foreign currency by the Central Bank to provide liquidity to financial institutions by means of re-discount and loan transactions. In addition, Law No. 11,908 of March 3, 2009 authorized: (i) Banco do Brasil and CEF to acquire, directly or indirectly, with or without control, equity interests in private and state-owned companies in Brazil, including insurance companies, pension plan institutions and capitalization companies; (ii) Caixa Banco de Investimentos S.A. to be established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEF for investment bank operations; and (iii) the Central Bank to carry out swap transactions in foreign currency with central banks of other countries.

Resolution No. 3,656 of December 17, 2008 by the CMN amended the FGC’s internal regulation to allow it to invest up to 50% of its net equity in: (i) acquisition of credit rights from financial institutions and leasing companies; (ii) certificated and non-certificated banking deposits, leasing notes and bills of exchange from associated institutions, provided that they are guaranteed by credit rights created or to be created in the respective transaction, or other credit rights with in rem or in personam guarantee; and (iii) linked transactions, under the terms of CMN Resolution No. 2,921 of December 17, 2002. FGC may sell other assets acquired in the transactions listed in items (i), (ii) and (iii).

Corporate Structure

Except as provided for in law, financial institutions must be organized as corporations (sociedades por ações) and be subject to the provisions of Brazilian Corporations Law and the regulations issued by the Central Bank, and also to inspections by the CVM if they are publicly held corporations.

The share capital of financial institutions may be divided into voting or non-voting shares. Non-voting shares may not exceed 50% of the total share capital.

Limitations and Restrictions on Financial Institutions

The activities carried out by financial institutions are subject to several limitations and restrictions. These limitations and restrictions are generally related to the granting of credit, risk concentration, investments, sales under repurchase transactions, foreign currencies loans, asset management, micro-credit and payroll-deducted credit.

The main restrictions and limitations imposed on financial institutions are the prohibitions to grant loans or make advances to (i) individuals or companies holding, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the institution’s capital stock, except under specific circumstances authorized by the Central Bank; (ii) companies in which they hold more than 10% of the capital stock; (iii) companies in which any of its directors or officers (and their immediate families) hold, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the capital stock; and (iv) any individual or legal entity or a group of persons representing a common economic interest, in an amount that exceeds 25% of its regulatory capital value.

Restrictions to transactions with related parties do not apply to transactions between financial institutions in the interbanking market.

Regulations Affecting Financial Market Liquidity

Compulsory Deposits and Other Requirements

The Central Bank currently imposes several compulsory deposits, requirements to financial institutions.

Demand Deposits. Pursuant to Central Bank Circular No. 3,274, dated May 6, 2005, as amended by Circular No. 3,323, dated May 30, 2006, and Circular No. 3,413, dated October 14, 2008, banks are currently required to deposit 42% of the sum of the daily average balance of demand deposits, funds subject to prior notice, banking collections, collection of taxes, debt assumption transactions and proceeds from the realization of guarantees.

Savings Accounts. The Central Bank currently requires Brazilian financial institutions to deposit, on a weekly basis, in an interest-bearing account with the Central Bank, an amount equivalent to 20% of the weekly average of the aggregate balance of savings accounts during the prior week. These requirements are set forth in Central Bank Circular No. 3,093, dated March 1, 2002, as amended by Central Bank Circular No. 3,128, dated June 24, 2002, Central Bank Circular No. 3130, dated June 27, 2002, and CMN Resolution No. 3,005, dated July 30, 2002. In addition, a minimum of 65% of the total amount of deposits in savings accounts must be used to finance the housing sector. Pursuant to Resolution No. 3,023, dated October 11, 2002, as amended by Resolution No. 3,634 dated November 13, 2008, CMN laid down a requirement of an additional 10% reserve over the savings accounts and funds established by entities of SBPE.

Time Deposits. Pursuant to Central Bank Circular No. 3,091, dated March 1, 2002, Circular No. 3,262, dated November 19, 2004, Circular No. 3,427, dated December 19, 2008, Circular 3,468, dated September 28, 2009, and Circular No. 3485, dated February 24, 2010, 15% of the financial institutions’ time deposits must be deposited with the Central Bank.

 

- 121 -


Additional Deposit Requirements (Demand Deposits, Savings Accounts and Time Deposits). Central Bank Circular No. 3,144, dated August 14, 2002, and Central Bank Circular No. 3486, dated February 24, 2010, imposed an additional compulsory deposit requirement equal to an amount of 8% for time deposits funds and 10% for savings deposits funds. Interest on such deposits is paid at the SELIC rate.

Rural Credit. The Manual of Rural Credit, published by the Central Bank, requires financial institutions to maintain a daily average balance of agricultural credit not lower than 25% of the daily balance of all accounts subject to compulsory deposit requirements. Financial institutions must provide the Central Bank with evidence of such compliance by the fifth business day of each month. A financial institution that does not meet this requirement will be subject to payment of fines, calculated on the daily difference between the required balance and the portion actually used for agricultural lending, and to a pecuniary penalty or, if the financial institution wishes, it must deposit the unused amount in a non-interest bearing account maintained with the Central Bank until the last business day of the subsequent month.

Foreign Currency and Gold Exposure. Pursuant to Central Bank Circular No. 3,488, dated December 29, 2007, of the Central Bank, the total consolidated exposure of a financial institution in foreign currencies and gold cannot exceed 30% of its adjusted net worth.

Microcredit Regulations. According to CMN Resolution No. 3,422, dated November 30, 2006, at least 2% of the balance of the demand deposits of such institutions must be allocated to such transactions.

Repurchase agreements, export notes, guarantees etc. The Central Bank has established reserve requirements for certain financial transactions, such as (i) repurchase agreements, export notes, derivatives transactions (covered by Circular BACEN No. 2,820, of May 27, 1998, which set the required reserve at 0%); and (ii) guarantees given by financial institutions (covered by Circular BACEN No. 2,704, of June 3, 1996, which set the required reserve at 0%).

Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards

Brazilian financial institutions are required to comply with guidelines laid down by the Central Bank and CMN consistent with the Basel Accord in view of the capital adequacy risk, including Basel II Accord, which is undergoing implementation. Banks provide the Central Bank with the information necessary to discharge its oversight duties, which include monitoring capital adequacy and solvency.

The main principle of the Basel II Accord, as implemented in Brazil, is that a bank’s own capital must cover the major risks, including credit risks, market risk and operational risk. CMN and Central Bank requirements differ from the Basel II Accord requirements in the following respects, among others:

 

   

Required minimum capital of 11% instead of 8%, as provided under Basel II;

 

   

Required additional capital in relation to off-balance sheet swaps of foreign currency and interest rates;

 

   

Assigned risk weighting and different credit conversion factors for some assets, including a risk weighting of 300% for tax credits;

 

   

Required assessment and report on the minimum capital and equity on a consolidated basis;

 

   

Require banks to set aside a portion of their capital to cover operational risks (as of July 1, 2008);

 

   

Preclude the use of external rating for calculating the minimum required capital; and

 

   

The Central Bank uses a conservative approach to define demand of corporate venture capital.

 

- 122 -


Regulatory capital amounts are taken into account for the determination of operating limits of Brazilian financial institutions (with the exception of the limit of real assets), and is represented by the sum total of the Tier 1 equity and Tier 2 equity:

Tier 1. Corresponds to the stockholders’ equity plus the balance of creditor income accounts, after deduction of (a) the balance of debtor income accounts net of revaluation reserves, contingency reserves and special income reserves relating to mandatory dividends yet to be distributed and (b) the amounts related to cumulative preferred shares and to redeemable preferred shares.

Tier 2. Corresponds to revaluation reserves, contingency reserves, and special reserves of profits relating to mandatory dividends not distributed, cumulative preferred shares, redeemable preferred shares, subordinated debts and hybrid capital and debt papers.

The total amount of Tier 2 is limited to the total amount of Tier 1, provided that (a) the total amount of revaluation reserves is limited to 25% of the Reference Stockholders’ Equity; (b) the total amount of subordinated debt plus the total amount of redeemable preferred shares with an original term to maturity below 10 years is limited to 50% of the total amount of Novo Mercado; and (c) a 20% reduction will be applied each year to the amount of subordinated debts and of redeemable preferred shares during the five years immediately preceding their respective maturities.

In addition to the minimum limits of realized capital and stockholders’ equity set forth in the current legislation, financial institutions must keep an adjusted stockholders’ equity compatible with the exposure of their assets, liabilities and offsetting accounts. Financial institutions may only distribute income on any account in amounts that exceed the amounts required by law or by applicable regulation when such distribution does not prevent compliance with the capital and stockholders’ equity standards.

Classification of Credit Transactions and Allowance for Loan Transactions

Financial institutions must classify their loan transactions into nine categories, ranging from AA to H, according to their risk. This classification must be done on the basis of consistent and transparent criteria, including an evaluation of the borrower’s and guarantor’s economic and financial position, level of indebtedness, cash flow, and income generation capacity the purpose and nature, characteristics and guaranteed amounts of the transactions.

The allowance for credit transactions losses cannot amount to less than the total sum resulting from applying the percentages below:

 

Loan Rank

   Minimum Allowance  

AA

   —     

A

   0.5

B

   1.0

C

   3.0

D

   10.0

E

   30.0

F

   50.0

G

   70.0

H(1)

   100.0

 

(1)

Financial institutions must write-off loans after six months they are ranked H.

 

- 123 -


Financial institutions must review the classification of their loans annually. However, a review of the classification, except for loans with amounts lower than R$50,000.00, must be done at shorter periods in the following cases:

 

   

loans with the same client or economic group in an amount exceeding 5% of the adjusted stockholders’ equity, which requires semi-annual revaluation; and

 

   

loans that become overdue, which requires monthly revaluation.

For loans that are overdue, the regulation establishes maximum risk classifications as follows:

 

Number of days overdue(1)

   Minimum
Classification

15 to 30 days

   B

31 to 60 days

   C

61 to 90 days

   D

91 to 120 days

   E

121 to 150 days

   F

151 to 180 days

   G

More than 180 days

   H

 

(1)

In case of loans with maturity in excess of 36 months, the overdue period is doubled for the purpose of calculating the loan risk.

Brazilian financial institutions are required to keep their policies and procedures for the granting and classification of loans adequately documented, and to make such documents available to the Central Bank and the independent accountants. In addition, financial institutions must show in the notes to their financial statements detailed information on their credit portfolios, which is presented in at least two categories showing the respective risk levels and loans past due up to 15 days and loans past due over 15 days. Information must also include a breakdown of lending activities, segregated by type of client and economic activity; maturity of the loans; and amounts of rolled-over, written-off and recovered loans.

Regulations Applicable to Certain Banking Transactions

Micro-Credit

The Brazilian government has taken various measures to encourage lower-income individuals to have greater access to the Brazilian Financial System. Such measures include requirements of credit allocation, the simplification of banking procedures and the adjustment of credit union regulations.

Since 2003, commercial banks, service banks licensed to render commercial banking services, the Caixa Econômica Federal, and credit unions must allocate 2% of their cash deposits for loans at low interest to lower-income individuals, micro enterprises and informal entrepreneurs, according to a specific methodology. The interest rates may not exceed 2% per month (or 4% to specific production financings—microcrédito produtivo), the repayment term may not exceed 120 days (except in certain cases), and the principal amount may not exceed R$2,000 to individuals and R$5,000 to micro enterprises (or R$15,000 for loans granted under certain specific production financings).

Regulation to Guarantee the Security and the Soundness of the Brazilian Financial System

Central System for Credit Risk. Financial institutions must provide information regarding the credit granted to, and guarantees submitted by, their clients at least annually. This information is used to:

 

   

facilitate the monitoring and regulatory role of the Central Bank;

 

- 124 -


   

provide information on debtors to other financial institutions (which may only have access to such information after prior authorization of the client); and

 

   

prepare macro-economic analyses.

If the total amount of client transactions exceeds R$5.0 million, the financial institution must provide the Central Bank with:

 

   

client identification documents;

 

   

a break-down of client transactions, including any guarantees granted by the financial institution to the client obligations; and

 

   

information related to the credit risk classification of the client based on the classification of its credit transactions.

For transactions of R$5,000.00 or less, financial institutions must report only the total amount of transactions per client.

The CMN, through Resolution No. 3,721, dated April 30, 2009, established new standards related to the credit risk management structure, which shall be adopted by financial institutions until October 29, 2010.

Brazilian Payment System

In December 1999, the Brazilian government issued new rules on the settlement of payments in Brazil, based on the guidelines adopted by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). After a period of testing and gradual implementation, the Brazilian Payment System, or the SPB, began operating in April 2002. The Central Bank and CVM have the authority to regulate and oversee this system. In accordance with these rules, new clearing houses can be set up and all are required to implement procedures to reduce the possibility of systemic crises and mitigate risks currently under the responsibility of the Central Bank. The most important principles of the Brazilian Payment System are:

 

   

Existence of two main payment and settlement systems: real-time settlement, using the reserves deposited with the Central Bank, and by clearing and settlement houses);

 

   

Clearing houses, with a few exceptions, are accountable for the orders they accept; and

 

   

Bankruptcy laws do not affect the payment orders placed through credit from clearing houses, nor the guarantee given to secure such orders. However, the clearing houses have ordinary credits against any participant under the bankruptcy laws.

The systems created by clearing houses are responsible for establishing security mechanisms and rules to curb risks and contingencies, cover losses among market agents and directly execute the positions of the agents, to perform their agreements and exclude warranty held in custody. The clearing houses and settlement service providers considered important for the system are required to set aside a portion of its assets as additional collateral for settlement of transactions.

Under these rules, the responsibility for settling a transaction lies with the clearing house and settlement service providers responsible for it. Once a financial transaction is submitted for clearing and settlement, it usually becomes an obligation of the clearing house and/or settlement service provider, and is no longer exposed to bankruptcy or insolvency by the market agent presenting it to the clearing and settlement.

 

- 125 -


The Central Bank, within its authority to regulate the operation of clearing and settlement systems, established that:

 

   

deferred settlement systems regarded as systemically important ought to promote the final settlement of the results assessed thereby directly into accounts held with the Central Bank;

 

   

the following are considered systemically important:

 

  (a) all systems that settle securities, stock, financial derivatives and foreign currency transactions; and

 

  (b) systems to transfer funds or settle other interbank transactions which average daily trading volume exceed 4% of the average daily trading volume of the Reserve Transfer System, or, to the best knowledge of the Central Bank, can jeopardize the flow of payments within the Brazilian Payments System;

 

   

the maximum deferral time to settle a transaction should be: (i) the end of day, in the event of funds transfer system considered systemically important; (ii) one business day, in the case of spot transactions in securities and stock other than shares; or (iii) three business days in the case of spot transactions in shares on stock exchanges. The deadline for settling other transactions is established by the Central Bank on a case-by-case basis; and

 

   

the operator must maintain net worth consistent with the risks inherent in the settlement systems it operates, subject to a minimum of R$30 million or R$5 million per system, depending on whether or not it is regarded as systemically important.

Financial institutions and other institutions contracted by the Central Bank are also necessary to create mechanisms to identify and avert risks of liquidity, according to certain procedures established by the Central Bank. Within the scope of these procedures, institutions are required to:

 

   

Have criteria in place for measuring liquidity risks and mechanisms for managing them;

 

   

Analyze economic and financial data to assess the impact of different market scenarios on the institution’s liquidity and cash flow;

 

   

Prepare reports to enable the institution to monitor liquidity risk;

 

   

Identify and assess mechanisms to undo positions that could threaten the institution economically and/or financially in obtaining the necessary funds to make such reversals;

 

   

Implement control systems and test them regularly;

 

   

Provide promptly to the institution’s management with information and analyses available on any identified liquidity risk, including any findings or corrective measures taken; and

 

   

Develop contingency plans to tackle liquidity crises.

Independent Auditor and Audit Committee

Financial institutions may hire an independent accountant only among those accountants that are registered with the CVM, with a certification of specialist in banking audit granted by the Federal Accounting Council and by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil, and provided that the minimum requirements proving the accountant’s independence are met. In addition, financial institutions must replace their independent

 

- 126 -


accountant at least once every five consecutive years. An independent accountant who has worked for a financial institution can only be appointed again after three consecutive years from the date of its replacement. The financial institution must appoint an executive manager responsible for ensuring compliance with the regulations on preparation of financial statements and audit. In addition to the auditor’s report, the independent accountant must prepare a report on:

 

   

the evaluation of internal controls and risk management procedures of the financial institution, including issues related to its data processing electronic system, and disclose all deficiencies found; and

 

   

the description of any non-compliance by the financial institution with any regulation to which it is subject, in respect of its financial statements or its activities.

Every financial institution that has a reference stockholders’ equity, or a consolidated reference stockholders’ equity equal to or higher than R$1 billion, or manages third party assets in an amount greater than R$5 billion must create an internal audit committee. For a definition of reference stockholder’s equity, see “Regulation of the Brazilian Banking Industry—Regulatory Capital and Stockholders’ Equity Standards.” The audit committee must be created by express provision in the bylaws of the financial institution, and comprise at least three members, one of whom must specialize in accounting and auditing. Pursuant to Brazilian legislation, the audit committee members can also serve as members of the board of directors of the financial institution and must meet certain requirements in order to guarantee independence of the committee. The audit committee must report directly to the board of directors, and its main functions are to:

 

   

appoint independent auditors to be elected by the board of directors;

 

   

supervise the work of the independent auditors;

 

   

request the replacement of the independent auditors;

 

   

review the financial statements every six months, and the management and audit reports;

 

   

supervise the accounting and auditing of the financial institution, including compliance with internal procedures and applicable legislation;

 

   

evaluate the implementation of the independent auditors’ recommendations by the management of the financial institution;

 

   

receive and disseminate information regarding any non-compliance with internal procedures or applicable legislation;

 

   

instruct managers regarding internal controls and procedures to be adopted;

 

   

meet with managers, independent auditors and internal accountants to check the implementation of recommendations made by the audit committee;

 

   

prepare a report with the information gathered by it and keep it available to the Central Bank and the Bank’s Board of Directors; and

 

   

publish, together with the financial statements, a summary of the audit committee’s report.

In addition, Brazilian law permits the creation of a single audit committee for a group of companies. In this case, the audit committee will be in charge of each institution belonging to the same group.

 

- 127 -


Internal Compliance Procedures

All financial institutions must maintain internal policies to control their activities, their financial, transactional and management information systems, as well as ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The executive officers of the financial institution are responsible for the implementation of a system of internal control, by defining procedures and responsibilities, and by setting goals for each internal division of the financial institutions. The executive officers are also responsible for monitoring the compliance with such internal policies.

Internal or external accountants are responsible for monitoring the internal control systems, and must report directly to the board of directors.

Transactions with Affiliates

Law No. 7,492, dated June 16, 1986, provides, among other things, for offenses against the Brazilian financial system. This law defines as a crime the extension of credit by a financial institution to any entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by such financial institution or which is subject to common control with such financial institution and is punishable by two to six years’ imprisonment and a fine. On June 30, 1993, the CMN issued Resolution No. 1,996, which requires any such transaction to be reported to the Attorney General’s office. Law No. 6,099, dated September 12, 1974, and CMN Resolution No. 2,309, dated August 28, 1996, set forth exceptions to provisions in Law No. 7,492. In reliance on an opinion issued by the general counsel of the FEBRABAN, a number of Brazilian financial institutions have taken the view that the prohibition described above does not apply to credit transactions between a bank and its leasing subsidiary.

Anti-Money Laundering Laws

In order to prevent money laundering, financial institutions must:

 

   

identify and maintain updated records on their clients;

 

   

maintain internal controls and records to monitor adequate identification of their clients, as well as whether the transfers of a client’s funds corresponds with such client’s economic activity and financial capability;

 

   

review transactions or proposals with characteristics that may indicate the occurrence of money laundering;

 

   

keep a record of transactions involving Brazilian or foreign currency, securities, metals or any other asset that may be converted into money, for a period of at least five years;

 

   

retain records of transactions that exceed R$10,000 in one calendar month or that reveal an activity pattern that indicates a system to avoid identification, for a period of five years;

 

   

keep record of transactions involving electronic transfers, checks, administrative checks or payments orders that exceed R$1,000; and

 

   

inform the competent authorities (but not the client) of any transaction or series of transactions carried out by individuals or companies belonging to the same corporate group, involving amounts that exceed R$10,000.

 

- 128 -


In addition, pursuant to Brazilian anti-money laundering regulations, the Council for the Control of the Financial Activities (Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras or “COAF”) was created. The main role of COAF is to promote cooperation among the Brazilian authorities responsible for the implementation of policies against money laundering, with a view to preventing such crimes.

The Central Bank issued, on July 24, 2009, Ruling (Circular) no. 3,461, which consolidates the rules applicable to anti-money laundering and introduces new rules. These rules provide further details to be observed by financial institutions in respect to anti-money laundering procedures pursuant to Brazilian and international rules.

Politically Exposed Persons

Circular No. 3,461 of July 24, 2009 (which revoked Circular No. 3,339 of December 22, 2006 and Circular No. 2,852 of December 3, 1998) established certain procedures to prevent and curb criminal activities described in Law No. 9,613 of March 3, 1998. As part of their duties, financial and other institutions accredited to operate by the Central Bank must identify customers who are regarded as politically exposed persons (defined below) and take certain measures in establishing business relationships with and follow up on the financial transactions of such customers.

For the purpose of this regulation, politically exposed persons include public officials as well as immediate family members, spouses, partners and step-children of public officials. Under this regulation, a public official is defined as a person who holds or has held a material public office or position in the last five years in Brazil or in other countries, territories and foreign jurisdictions. The 5-year term starts counting retroactively from the initial date of the business relationship or date in which the person became politically exposed.

Financial and other institutions accredited to operate by the Central Bank are also obligated to take repeated and continuous surveillance measures in their interactions with politically exposed persons, paying special attention to proposals and transactions of such persons from countries with which Brazil has a large volume of financial and business transactions or political relationship, or shares common borders or ethnic language.

Banking Confidentiality

Brazilian financial institutions are subject to banking confidentiality regulations, pursuant to Supplementary Law No. 105, dated January 10, 2001. Banks must maintain the confidentiality of information relating to transactions and services they provide, except in the following circumstances: (i) the disclosure of confidential information with the express consent of the interested parties; (ii) the exchange of information between financial institutions for record purposes; (iii) the supply of information to credit protection agencies derived from data on the records of checks drawn on accounts within sufficient funds and defaulting debtors; (iv) the provision of information, to the competent authorities relating to the occurrence of any criminal or other unlawful administrative act (v) performance of transactions and provision of information to the Central Bank; (vi) information to be provided to the Judicial or Legislative branches, under the legal and constitutional limits; (vii) information to the Federal Government’s tax administration, within the periods and limits determined by the Executive branch; (viii) information to tax fiscal agents, if considered relevant by the administrative authority for purposes of administrative proceedings; and (ix) information to be provided to the Central Bank and CVM under administrative proceedings, provided that a judicial authorization has been granted or when the practice of a crime has or may have occurred. Supplementary Law No. 105 also allows the Central Bank or CVM to exchange information with foreign authorities, provided that an specific treaty in this respect has been signed.

Tax Evasion

Information protected by banking secrecy may only be disclosed by an order of a competent Court or a Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry. However, the Central Bank may, without judicial authorization, require financial institutions to provide information that is usually protected by banking confidentiality during the

 

- 129 -


exercise of its regulatory activities include the investigation of any unlawful act committed by any director, administrator, counselor or manager of a financial institution. In addition, banking confidentiality may not hinder tax authorities in the investigation of tax evasion. Such evidence includes, among other things.

 

   

a statement by the client detailing transactions below market value;

 

   

credits acquired from sources outside the Brazilian Financial System;

 

   

transactions involving “tax havens”;

 

   

expenses or investments that exceed the amount of the declared available income;

 

   

remittances of currency abroad, using non-resident accounts in amounts that exceed the income declared to the appropriate authority; and

 

   

companies whose registration with the Brazilian Corporate Taxpayers Register, or “CNPJ,” has been made null or cancelled.

Further, pursuant to Normative Ruling No. 811/2008 of the Federal Revenue Department, financial institutions must provide certain information related to transactions carried out in Brazil through a Statement of Information on Financial Transactions (Declaração de Informações sobre Movimentação Financeira). These transactions include deposits, payments in currency or checks and issuances of credit orders or related documents, among others.

Intervention, Administrative Liquidation and Bankruptcy

The Central Bank may intervene in the operations of financial institutions not controlled by the Brazilian government, in the presence of material risk to creditors or where the institution repeatedly violates the applicable regulations. The Central Bank may also intervene where liquidation can be prevented, to facilitate administrative liquidation or, in some cases, order the bankruptcy of any financial institution, except those controlled by the Brazilian government. For more information, see “Risks Relating to the Bank and the Brazilian Banking Industry.”

The Special Temporary Management Regime

The Special Temporary Management Regime, or “RAET,” is directed at enabling the economic and financial recovery and the reorganization of a financial institution without interfering with the regular course of business, rights or obligations of the institution. The RAET may be imposed by the Central Bank when the private financial institutions or the non-federal public financial institutions show:

 

   

repeated practice of transactions that are contrary to federal economic and financial policy;

 

   

failure to observe rules relating to the banking reserves account;

 

   

reckless or fraudulent management;

 

   

the institution has a lack of assets; or

 

   

the occurrence of any situation or transactions requiring intervention.

There is no minimum period for RAET, which could cease after any of the following events: (i) acquisition by the Federal Government of controlling ownership interest in the financial institution; (ii) corporate

 

- 130 -


restructuring, merger, spin off or transfer of shareholding control of financial institution; (iii) the Central Bank’s decision; or (iv) declaration of extrajudicial liquidation of the financial institution.

Intervention

Private and non-federal public financial institutions are subject to the proceedings established by Law No. 6,024, dated March 13, 1974, which sets out the provisions applicable in the event of intervention or extra-judicial liquidation. Intervention and extra-judicial liquidation will occur when the Central Bank has determined that the financial institution is in a dire financial condition or upon the occurrence of any event that may potentially affect the position of creditors of the financial institution.

The Central Bank must intervene in the management of any financial institution that:

 

   

suffers losses as a result of mismanagement which may represent a risk to its creditors;

 

   

repeatedly violates rules of the financial system; or

 

   

faces circumstances that could result in its bankruptcy.

Intervention may not exceed 12 months, being a six-month period renewable for another six months. During the intervention period, the institution’s liabilities for overdue obligations, unmatured obligations incurred prior to the intervention, and also for deposits, are suspended. The intervention proceedings will be terminated if any of the following occurs: (i) if the Central Bank determines that the irregularities that triggered intervention have been eliminated; (ii) if the parties concerned resume administration of the financial institution after having provided the necessary guarantees with the approval of the Central Bank; or (iii) upon the declaration of the financial institution’s extra-judicial liquidation or bankruptcy. The Central Bank may liquidate the financial institution or authorize the manager appointed by the Central Bank to file for bankruptcy following the report or proposal of such manager if the assets of the financial institution are insufficient to pay at least 50% of the amount of its unsecured outstanding debts, or when an extra-judicial liquidation is deemed inconvenient, or otherwise, when the complexity of the business of the institution or the impact of the facts disclosed justify such action.

Administrative Liquidation

Administrative liquidation of a financial institution (other than financial institutions controlled by the Brazilian government, such as the Bank) can be accomplished by the Central Bank (Law No. 6,024/74), provided that:

 

   

The debts of the financial institution are not being paid when due;

 

   

The financial institution is deemed insolvent;

 

   

The financial institution has incurred losses that could unusually increase the exposure of unsecured creditors;

 

   

The management of the financial institution has been materially breaching Brazilian banking laws or regulations;

 

   

The financial institution does not start its ordinary liquidation within 90 days as of the revocation of its authorization to operate, or if started, Central Bank determines that the management’s lethargy may result in losses to creditors; or

 

   

The liquidation process can also be commenced by request of the financial institution’s officers (where its bylaws delegate them such authority) or as proposed by the intervener, as properly justified.

 

- 131 -


Administrative proceedings of liquidation may cease:

 

   

At the discretion of the Central Bank, if the parties involved undertake to manage the financial institution, providing the necessary guarantees;

 

   

When the final accounts of the liquidator are processed and approved, and subsequently, filed with the relevant public registry;

 

   

When converted into an ordinary liquidation; or

 

   

When the financial institution is adjudicated bankrupt.

Bankruptcy Law

Law No. 6,024 of March 13, 1974 as amended (the “Financial Institutions Liquidation Law”) empowers the Central Bank to extra-judicially intervene in the operations or to liquidate financial institutions owned by the private sector or Brazilian state governments (but not of the Federal Government). The Bank, as an entity with majority ownership by the Federal Government, is therefore not subject to intervention or to extra-judicial liquidation by the Central Bank. Furthermore, according to Law No. 11,101 of February 9, 2005 (the “New Bankruptcy Law”), companies with government-owned and privately-owned stocks (sociedades de economia mista) such as the Bank, are not subject to bankruptcy proceedings. In this context, in the case of the Bank, only the Federal Government, as the controlling entity of the Bank, has the authority to intervene and liquidate the Bank.

Tax Matters

Taxation of Financial Transactions

IOF. The Imposto Sobre Operações Financeiras, or “IOF,” the Tax on Financial Transactions, is levied on transactions related to credit, insurance, foreign currency exchange or securities. The applicable rate of the IOF may be changed by the Federal Government by a Decree, which rate change may be effective as of its publication. The IOF rate may be changed up to a maximum of 25%. Decree no. 6,306, dated December 14, 2007, as amended, set the general IOF rate at 0.38%, with certain exceptions expressly set forth in the Decree.

Growth potential of the Bank’s credit portfolio

Strong brand

Banco do Brasil is currently one of the most recognized and valuable brands in Brazil. According to a market survey by Instituto DataFolha (2009 Top of Mind award), Banco do Brasil was the top-rated financial institution brand among the top-of-mind brands for the 19th consecutive year in 2009. In addition, the Banco do Brasil brand was ranked third in Brand Finance’s fifth edition of the brand survey “Brazil’s Top 100 Most Valuable Brands.”

Banco do Brasil brand seeks to convey a sense of dependability, trust and credibility, and the Bank believes this was demonstrated when, during to the international financial crisis beginning in September 2008, the Bank’s deposit base increased, including the amount of new time deposits in the form of Bank Certificates of Deposit, or CDBs, which almost doubled from R$13.5 billion to R$24 billion in September 2008 compared to the prior month.

Strategic relationship with the Federal and State and Municipal governments of Brazil

The Bank is a mixed-capital company and its majority shareholder is the Federal Government, with whom the Bank has a strategic relationship. Moreover, in accordance with the Banking Restructuring Law No. 4,595/74, the Bank is the financial agent of the Brazilian treasury or the National Treasury. The Bank’s close ties to Brazilian federal, state and municipal governmental entities provide the necessary knowledge and know-how with products and services specifically tailored to meet those entities’ needs.

With respect to the Federal Government, the Bank’s operations include making payments and collecting funds for the account of the National Treasury, as well as providing assistance to all ministry offices. On the state level, the Bank is also under contract to act as the official financial agent for 16 Brazilian states as of March 31, 2010. On the municipal level, the Bank also operates through its branch network as the official financial agent for a number of state capitals and other cities throughout Brazil.

Modern platform with state of the art technology

The Bank’s investment in information technology over the last decade has placed it in a prominent position with respect to banking information technology in the domestic and international markets. The Bank was the first retail bank in the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere and the tenth in the world to obtain ISO 20000 certification, according to data from the IT Service Management Forum. The improved capacity of the Bank’s data transmission networks has significantly increased client access to ATMs, with an ATM availability rate of 95% as of December 31, 2009. This benefited both the Bank and its clients, who carried out 39.6% of their banking transactions through ATMs in 2009. The Bank has more than 45,000 ATMs, making it the largest network in Latin America. As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had 9.3 million clients, which were able to access products and services from the Bank through the Internet as of March 31, 2010. The Bank’s investment in information technology exceeded R$790 million in 2009.

High standards of corporate governance

In 2002, the Bank began amending its bylaws in order to conform its internal corporate governance structure to the best practices in the market and the principal corporate governance practices required by the Novo Mercado regulations. The Bank established these corporate governance practices to improve its management’s efficiency and to further protect the interests of its shareholders. On May 31, 2006, the Bank entered into Novo Mercado, thereby starting the process of increasing its free-float, from 5.6% in 2006 to 21.9% as of the date of this reference form limited translation.

Highly dedicated and experienced management

The Bank believes the high quality of its professionals and their commitment to the Bank’s positive performance are key factors in ensuring success in implementing the Bank’s strategies. The Bank seeks to retain professionals who are both highly experienced and qualified and who are committed to the Bank’s goals. The Bank selects its managers using technical criteria. The Board of Executive Officers is composed of professionals with vast experience in numerous executive areas of the Banco do Brasil conglomerate, with an average of 27 years’ experience working for the Bank and with a comprehensive knowledge of the finance and banking industry.

Principal Strategies

Expand the credit portfolio

Credit volume in Brazil grew substantially over recent years (133.9% from 2005 to 2009, and a CAGR of 23.5% according to the Central Bank), mainly driven by growth in the consumer segment. In light of current high employment and income levels, increases in social classes and lower income disparities, in addition to the growth of the Brazilian economy, Banco do Brasil intends to expand credit concession to consumers and companies.

In the consumer segment, the Bank intends to focus (i) on the real estate finance market, an attractive segment with high growth potential, including the potential to lead to cross-sales of the Bank’s other products; (ii) payroll deduction loans, one of the main growth drivers for the Bank’s credit portfolio; and (iii) consumer credit, in particular vehicle financing, which is a segment in continuous growth.

The Bank intends to implement its strategy of increasing consumer lending activities primarily by: (i) attracting and retaining profitable individual clients; (ii) diversifying and improving its loan and financing products; (iii) expanding customer relationship channels, such as through the strategic partnership with Banco Votorantim, BV Financeira, which has added to the Bank’s sales promotions network; (iv) purchasing credit portfolios, mainly in the payroll deduction loan and vehicle financing segments; and (v) acquiring other financial institutions, such as Besc and Nossa Caixa, and establishing strategic partnerships, such as the BV Financeira joint venture with Banco Votorantim.

In the corporate segment, Banco do Brasil intends to focus on improving demand for loans and financing related to new infrastructure projects and the expansion of Brazil’s production capacity, including in connection with the soccer World Cup in 2014, the Summer Olympics in 2016 and oil exploration prospects at the pre-salt layers. In order to take advantage of these investment opportunities, the Bank also intends to assist large companies in raising long-term funding through capital markets transactions.

Increase business through strategic partnerships

The strong competition in the Brazilian banking industry and the growth of consumer financing by non-banking competitors in Brazil over recent years, as well as the growth in income levels in Brazil, has imposed the need to create alternative distribution and customer relationship channels.

In light of the foregoing, the Bank has begun entering into strategic partnerships by using the expertise, skills and complementary strengths of strategic partners in order to further expand its distribution channels and supplement its product and service portfolio.

Through the strategic partnership with Banco Votorantim, or BV, the Bank intends to benefit from a successful consumer finance business model, particularly in vehicle financing, with vertical operations through financing agents. In addition, the Bank intends to expand other business segments, including wholesale lending and capital markets underwriting. Another important focus of this partnership is the growth of payroll deduction loans to INSS retirees and pensioners through BV Financeira’s sales force.

The Bank will continue to study the possibility of entering into new partnerships that can offer economies of scale and synergies.

Consolidate the Bank’s presence in the State of São Paulo

The State of São Paulo is widely considered Brazil’s economic engine and accounts for approximately one-third of Brazil’s GDP, according to data published by the State System Data Analysis Foundation (Fundação Sistema Estadual de Análises de Dados). A strong presence in São Paulo is thus strategically important for the Bank.

To this end, with its merger with Nossa Caixa, the Bank has focused on short- and medium-term actions to increase its client base in São Paulo, always targeting selective growth in specific markets. Simultaneously, in 2009, the Bank created an executive position to exclusively cover the State of São Paulo, and whose key goals are to expand the Bank’s presence in the metropolitan area, to consolidate and expand the Bank’s leading position in the interior of the state and to expand business and services, especially lending operations throughout the state.

Increase the Bank’s market share in the insurance and pension plan segments

The insurance industry in Brazil has grown more than 12.0% every year since 2004, according to data disclosed by Brazil’s Private Insurance Regulator (Superintendência de Seguros Privados), or the SUSEP. However, as compared to other countries, the Brazilian insurance industry is proportionally smaller than insurance industries from other countries. For instance, while insurance premiums as a percentage of GDP are 16.2% in Taiwan, 15.7% in the United Kingdom and 8.7% in the United States, they are only 3.0% of GDP in Brazil, according to data published in the Sigma Report for March 2009 by Swiss Re.

On the other hand, the Brazilian economic environment has been helpful for the growth of the insurance industry, particularly as a result of increases in income and employment levels that have caused a growing middle-income class that demands insurance, private pensions and financing. Moreover, expected investments in infrastructure in Brazil are likely to foster business opportunities in the insurance segment.

Accordingly, the Bank intends to expand its market share in the insurance and pension markets. In order to achieve this goal, the Bank is undergoing a corporate reorganization of its insurance business to increase its stakes in insurance and pension companies and to guarantee exclusive relationships. Moreover, among other initiatives, the Bank has increased sales through remote channels, brokerage companies and partnerships and launched products targeted to specific niches, as well as automated contracting.

Increase the Bank’s market share in the credit and debit card sectors

The Brazilian consumer’s behavior in respect of payment method has changed such that the use of credit and debit cards as a form of payment has become integrated into their routine activities. The growth of the Brazilian economy and credit operations should also likely contribute to continued expansion of the card segment.

The Bank intends to expand its overall revenue from cards, whether by achieving operational gains in logistics and technology, such as the implementation of cards with chips, through encouraging the use of credit and debit cards as a payment method, by expanding its cardholder base, given the growth potential of the market, particularly in classes C and D. To attain its goals with respect to credit cards, the Bank has recently offered to acquire an additional 5.11% stake in Cielo (formerly, Visanet), increasing its total stake to 28.65%.

In this regard, Banco do Brasil has also entered into a memorandum of understanding with Banco Bradesco to launch a new Brazilian credit card brand, Elo, and to integrate part of their card operations to gain synergies, as well as to structure a new private label business and other similar businesses, such as offering credit cards to non-account holders.

Improve cost controls

One of the main focuses of operations of the Bank is to efficiently manage costs in order to be able to better leverage results. The balance between generating revenues and managing costs is an ongoing area of attention for the Bank and, as evidenced by a continuous improvement in the Bank’s cost/income ratio, from 51.4% as of December 31, 2007 to 44.0% as of December 31, 2009.

The Bank intends to continue to reconcile and automate processes and to increase information technology efficiencies over the coming years, in particular to better benefit from recent mergers.

The Bank’s goal in establishing operating partnerships that use and share service channels and in forming partnerships with new retail opportunities is to obtain gains from scale and to sell products and services with lower impacts on internal operations.

Improve customer service and strengthen relationships with clients

After expanding its customer base of more than 53 million clients as of March 31, 2010, both organically and through acquisitions, the Bank intends to increase its profit margins by taking advantage of significant potential opportunities that this large customer base presents.

To this end, the Bank has redirected its focus to “customer orientation and customer relationships.” Accordingly, the Bank has reviewed its classification and segmentation models and invested in the improvement of the quality of service with the goal of increasing customer satisfaction levels and solidifying business opportunities through more assertive customer-relationship operations.

The Bank launched a customer service program in the first quarter of 2010, which included an increase in front office staff at the Bank’s branches, staff training on all levels, business facilitation tools, branch revitalizations, increases in the number of ATMs and replacement of obsolete ATMs.

Strengthen the Bank’s presence in foreign markets

The Bank intends to expand and strengthen its presence abroad, which currently involves operations in 23 countries, including the United States, Japan, Portugal, England and China. The Bank’s strategy is based on: (i) Brazilians living abroad; (ii) the internationalization of Brazilian companies; and (iii) the expansion of trade relations between Brazil and other countries.

The Bank’s goals by region are:

 

   

USA: new strategic position in the wholesale and retail markets, mainly focused on Brazilians living there;

 

   

Latin America: new strategic position in the wholesale (foreign trade finance) and retail markets;

 

   

Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands: capital markets and market research;

 

   

Europe: corporate reorganization and operating strategy review, niche retail and wholesale focused on financing foreign trade activities; and

 

   

Africa and the Middle East: trading and market research aimed at expanding foreign business.

On April 13, 2010, the Bank received authorization from the United States Federal Reserve to operate as a financial holding company. This qualification will permit the Bank to engage in banking activities in the U.S. territories under the same conditions as U.S. banks, which the Bank believes will allow it to expand in the United States beyond its current customer base, in accordance with applicable laws.

In addition, with respect to Latin America, Banco do Brasil acquired control of Banco Patagonia, the sixth largest bank in Argentina in terms of assets, in April 2010. The acquisition of Banco Patagonia has four main goals: (i) to expand businesses with Brazilian and Argentine companies that operate in Argentina; (ii) to diversify the products and services Banco Patagonia offers; (iii) to expand Banco Patagonia’s small credit portfolio, particularly for transactions in the wholesale market; and (iv) to augment operations throughout value chains in Argentine business, by increasing services to micro- and small-enterprise segments, employees and suppliers.

Relationship with the Government

Since it was founded in 1808, the Bank has been controlled by the Federal Government. As of December 31, 2009, the National Treasury owned 65.3% of its aggregate stock capital (see “Principal Shareholders”). In 1990, the Federal Government instituted a policy of reducing its participation in the economy and began privatizing certain state enterprises. However, the privatization program specifically excluded important financial institutions, including the Bank, in order to use these institutions to stimulate economic development, particularly in the manufacturing, agricultural and housing sectors.

Decree No. 200, dated February 25, 1967, requires that the Federal Government hold a majority of the voting shares of the Bank. The table below sets out the Bank’s outstanding capital stock as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The Federal Government holds equity interests in the Bank, directly or indirectly, through the National Treasury and government-controlled funds. In addition, BNDESPAR, a wholly owned subsidiary of BNDES, a wholly government-controlled company, holds 2.4% of the Bank’s capital stock, and PREVI holds 10.4% of the Bank’s capital stock. Minority shareholders hold the remaining 21.9%.

Brief History

Banco do Brasil was the first bank to operate in Brazil and was also the first entity to make a public stock offering in the Brazilian capital markets. With more than 200 years of operating history, the Bank has played an active role in Brazil’s development. The Banco do Brasil brand conveys trust, credibility and dependability. In 2009, the brand was valued at US$6.6 billion, and ranked the 117th most valuable brand in the world by Brand Finance, an independent brand valuation firm.

Since becoming a full-service bank in 2001, the Bank has consistently improved its performance. As a full-service bank with a sustainable business model, Banco do Brasil remains competitive and profitable in the financial markets and has continued to act as an agent for economic and social development.

In 2006, on the centennial of the Bank’s listing on the Brazilian stock exchange, the Bank joined Novo Mercado, the BM&FBOVESPA listing segment that requires the highest Brazilian corporate governance standards. The Novo Mercado Regulation requires entities to maintain a free float of 25%. Currently, Banco do Brasil’s free float is 21.9%.

The Bank announced in April 2007 that it was considering acquiring BESC, a bank owned by the State of Santa Catarina. This event marked the beginning of a period of growth for the Bank.

The global financial crisis in 2008 triggered a liquidity crisis in Brazil. Investors were in search of a safe harbor for their capital, and Banco do Brasil benefited from its sound financial position. The Bank’s deposit portfolio grew 24.6% from December 2008 to December 2009. In 2008, Banco do Brasil was also authorized under Provisional Measure No. 443/08 (signed into Law No. 11,908 on March 3, 2009) to acquire other financial institutions, and Banco do Brasil followed by announcing its acquisition of BESC, BESCRI and BEP, and a controlling interest in Banco Nossa Caixa, all state-owned banks in Brazil.

In 2009, the Bank completed two significant strategic transactions. First, Banco do Brasil completed a tender offer for the common shares of Banco Nossa Caixa held by minority shareholders, followed by the completion of the acquisition. Second, it acquired a 50.0% stake in Banco Votorantim (49.99% of the voting capital and 50.01% of the non-voting capital). Banco do Brasil expects to achieve synergies of costs and revenues through these recent transactions, strengthening, for example, its position in the strategic market of the State of São Paulo through the Banco Nossa Caixa acquisition and in the vehicle financing segment through Banco Votorantim. Further, the acquisition of Banco Nossa Caixa provides access to a broad base of deposits, and the partnership with Banco Votorantim gives access to a large network of non-financial agents for the sale of products and services.

Also in 2009, despite uncertainties generated by the global financial crisis, Banco do Brasil reclaimed its leading position in the Brazilian financial sector in terms of total assets, with a balance of R$709 billion at year-end 2009. As of December 31, 2009, Banco do Brasil was the largest bank in Brazil and Latin America in terms of assets, according to the consulting firm Economática. One factor that has contributed to the Bank’s positive performance was the growth of its credit portfolio, with a year-end balance of R$300.8 billion in 2009, up 33.8% from 2008. The growth was driven by organic growth in addition to the acquisitions of Banco Nossa Caixa and 50% of Banco Votorantim.

Further, the Bank underwent a corporate restructuring in October 2009, forming two wholly-owned subsidiaries, BB Seguros and BB Aliança, which continued the restructuring of the insurance division that began in August 2008 with the acquisition of Aliança do Brasil shares held by Aliança da Bahia. Banco do Brasil also announced a series of business goals and plans related to the restructuring, with the objective of increasing the share of the insurance, private pension and financing segments in the Bank’s results of operations.

On November 10, 2009, the Bank issued Level I ADRs, to be traded on the OTC market. The Bank of New York Mellon has been appointed as depositary for the Level I ADRs. The Bank had already obtained approval from the Central Bank and CVM for the issue, and began issuing Level I ADRs on December 2, 2009. Each Level I ADR represents one common share of the Bank. As of December 31, 2009, 110,700 ADRs had been issued under the Bank’s Level I ADR program.

On April 13, 2010, Banco do Brasil received financial holding company status from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the FED. This status was granted after strict analysis of important factors set forth in U.S. banking legislation, including the Bank’s level of capitalization, management quality and the level of banking supervision exercised by the Central Bank of Brazil on a comprehensive and consolidated basis. The FED authorization allows Banco do Brasil, in its own discretion, directly or through its subsidiaries, to engage in banking activities in the U.S., in conformity with applicable legislation.

Also in April 2010, the Bank announced its intention to increase its activities in the debit and credit cards markets. See “Business—Recent Relevant Acquisitions and Partnerships—Increase of Shares in Visanet” for further information.

Recent Relevant Acquisitions and Partnerships

As a general matter, government-owned financial institutions, such as the Bank, are subject to a higher degree of regulation when compared to private banks in relation to implementing growth strategies. In light of recent changes in the global economy, the Central Bank and Brazilian legislative authorities have enacted regulations that allowed Banco do Brasil to increase its share in the Brazilian banking system. On October 21, 2008, a provisional measure was enacted (later converted into Law No. 11,908, on March 3, 2009) that authorized the Bank to directly or indirectly acquire controlling and non-controlling interests in private and public financial institutions in Brazil, including insurance companies, social welfare institutions and capitalization companies. Since then, the Bank has made the following acquisitions with the aim of consolidating its leadership position among Brazilian banks.

Acquisition of Nossa Caixa

Nossa Caixa is a multiple service bank offering a wide range of financial products and services. Its products and services include credit operations (involving consumers and corporations, and including real estate financing and rural lending), credit cards, insurance and private pension plans, international transactions (including foreign exchange operations and foreign trade financing), asset management and treasury transactions. Nossa Caixa is also a financial agent of the State of São Paulo and handles payments on behalf of the State, including those resulting from judicial decisions, service of public debt and wire transfers processed by State agencies and institutions.

On December 19, 2008, the Bank entered into a share purchase agreement with the State of São Paulo to acquire a controlling interest in Nossa Caixa (76,262,912 common shares, representing 71.25% of its total and voting share capital) at the price of R$70.63 per share, totaling R$5.4 billion. The transaction was authorized by State law No. 13,286 of December 18, 2008 and approved by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of the Bank held on December 23, 2008. On March 10, 2009, the Central Bank authorized the transfer of control of Nossa Caixa from the State of São Paulo to the Bank. The Bank commenced a tender offer for the acquisition of the remaining shares of Nossa Caixa on the same terms as its purchase of the controlling interest. On September 4, 2009, the Bank carried out a tender offer for the acquisition of shares from the minority shareholders of Nossa Caixa, pursuant to which the Bank acquired 99.32% of Nossa Caixa’s share capital. At a General Shareholders’ Meeting held on November 30, 2009, a resolution was passed which authorized the merger of Nossa Caixa into the Bank and the exchange of the outstanding shares of Nossa Caixa for new shares of the Bank.

On April 1, 2010, BACEN approved the merger of Banco Nossa Caixa. As of April 9, 2010, the shares issued by Banco Nossa Caixa have been converted into shares issued by Banco do Brasil with an exchange ratio of one common share issued by Banco Nossa Caixa for 2.28873181 common shares issued by Banco do Brasil. When Banco Nossa Caixa’s registration with CVM was cancelled, Banco Nossa Caixa was also delisted from BM&FBOVESPA.

The transaction allowed Banco do Brasil to: (i) strengthen its presence in the State of São Paulo, where Banco do Brasil became the owner of the largest number of branches; (ii) expand its customer base and credit operations in the State of São Paulo; (iii) become the financial agent of the State of São Paulo; (iv) expand lower-cost deposit portfolios; and (v) increase its revenue through the addition of Banco Nossa Caixa’s customer base.

Acquisition of interest in Banco Votorantim

Banco Votorantim is a privately held Brazilian multi-service bank controlled by Votorantim Finanças, a member of the Votorantim Group, one of the largest privately held industrial conglomerates in Latin America. Banco Votorantim provides a wide range of financial services and focuses on treasury, corporate investment banking activities and, in recent years, it has also diversified its operations to include lending to the Brazilian

middle market segment, consumer finance and fund management services. With respect to corporate and investment banking, it offers tailor-made products and advisory services, such as structuring and advising on mergers and acquisition transactions, project finance transactions, local and international underwriting and other structured financial transactions. In addition to its offices and branches, Banco Votorantim has affiliate offices throughout Brazil to support its consumer finance business. Through its subsidiaries BV Financeira and BV Leasing, Banco Votorantim provides financing for the purchase and leasing of vehicles. It also carries out fund management activities through its subsidiary, Votorantim Asset Management D.T.V.M. Ltda., and brokerage activities through its subsidiary Votorantim Corretora.

On January 9, 2009, the Bank entered into a share purchase agreement with Banco Votorantim and Votorantim Finanças for (i) the purchase of 33,356,791,198 existing common shares of Banco Votorantim, for the amount of R$3.0 billion; and (ii) the subscription of 7,412,620,277 new non-voting preferred shares to be issued by Banco Votorantim, in the amount of R$1.2 billion, at a subscription price of R$0.16188607471 per preferred share, totaling a R$4.2 billion investment. As a result of this investment, the Bank will share in the management of Banco Votorantim with Votorantim Finanças by holding 50.00% of its total share capital (consisting of 49.99% of voting share capital and 50.01% of non-voting share capital). The acquisition by the Bank of an interest in Banco Votorantim was completed on September 28, 2009.

The partnership allowed the Bank to: (i) increase its capacity to originate assets in the consumer financing industry, in particular vehicle financing; (ii) access well-developed alternative distribution channels for vehicle dealers, partner and BV Financeira stores; (iii) operate based upon an existing and successful model for the promotion of sales in the domestic vehicle financing market; and (iv) strengthen the Bank’s operations in capital markets (Votorantim Corretora) and corporate segments, among others.

Merger with BESC and BESCRI

The BESC group is one of the 40 largest financial groups in Brazil and is divided into two institutions: (i) Santa Catarina State Bank (Banco do Estado de Santa Catarina S.A.), or BESC, a retail multiple service bank; and (ii) Besc S.A. Real Estate Credit (Besc S.A. Crédito Imobiliário), or BESCRI, a real estate credit company. Both institutions have a strong presence in the domestic market, operating primarily in the State of Santa Catarina where BESC has an extensive network of branches, a significant market share in the payroll deduction market and a strong brand.

On September 30, 2008, the Bank’s and BESC’s respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings approved the merger of BESC and BESCRI, and on January 29, 2009, the Central Bank authorized the merger of BESC and BESCRI into the Bank.

The merger allowed Banco do Brasil to: (i) strengthen its presence in the State of Santa Catarina and the southern region of Brazil, consolidating its leading position and providing growth opportunities from this economic expansion; (ii) operate as the financial agent of the State Government of Santa Catarina; (iii) increase Banco do Brasil’s financial operations and achieve new efficiencies of scale; and (iv) offer former BESC clients the Bank’s broader portfolio of products, services and distribution networks.

Merger with Bescleasing and Bescredi

On April 13, 2010, the Bank’s extraordinary general shareholder meeting approved the merger of BESC S.A. Leasing (Besc S.A. Arrendamento Mercantil), or Bescleasing and BESC Financeira S.A.,—Credit, Financing and Investments (BESC Financeira S.A.—Crédito, Financiamento e Investimentos), or Bescredi into Banco do Brasil. BESC, the former controlling shareholder of Bescleasing and Bescredi, merged into Banco do Brasil on September 30, 2008, and as a result the Bank became the successor company in connection with any and all rights and obligations of BESC. The leasing activities performed by Bescleasing have been discontinued since 2005 and there are no active transactions. Loan and financing activities performed by Bescredi have been discontinued since April 2009.

 

- 146 -


Bescleasing and Bescredi portfolios are small compared to Banco do Brasil’s portfolio and can be managed by the current administrative structure of Banco do Brasil without any significant additional costs. Furthermore, Banco do Brasil has more experience with the types of credit facilities in its portfolios, making it unprofitable to keep the companies managing their portfolios, excluding any potential benefit the companies may provide from transfers of technology or knowledge.

Acquisition of Aliança do Brasil by BB Investimentos

Aliança do Brasil is an insurance company which was founded in 1997, with its headquarters in the City of São Paulo and that operates throughout Brazil. Aliança do Brasil’s products portfolio consists of over 40 types of insurance, including personal and asset insurance for individuals and corporate insurance across various sectors, including agribusiness. Its client portfolio consists of approximately nine million clients.

Following receipt of the relevant authorization from SUSEP, on August 5, 2008, the Bank, through BB Investimentos, completed the acquisition from Companhia de Participações Aliança da Bahia of the remaining 30% of the share capital and 60% of the voting capital of Aliança do Brasil, held by Aliança da Bahia, for a total aggregate amount of R$670.0 million. This acquisition is expected to increase the Bank’s share in the life, property and casualty segments of the insurance market.

Merger with BEP

On November 28, 2008, the Bank’s and BEP’s shareholders approved the merger of the Piauí State Bank (Banco do Estado do Piauí S.A.), or BEP with the Bank for a total amount of R$81.7 million, to be financed through the issuance of 2,930,649 common shares of the Bank in exchange for common shares in BEP, at an exchange ratio of 1 common share of the Bank for 4.60241693 common shares in BEP. The acquisition was approved by the Central Bank on October 29, 2009.

For Banco do Brasil, the merger: (i) consolidates the Bank’s strong relationship with the public sector in its role as financial agent of the State of Piauí; (ii) preserves and expands the government’s public development policies; (iii) ensures that public duties exercised by BEP will be assumed by Banco do Brasil; (iv) strengthens the Bank’s presence in the State of Piauí; (v) allows new growth opportunities for expansion of its customer base and increased profitability based on the Bank’s existing business model and product portfolio; and (vi) improves the Bank’s efficiencies of scale.

Sale of shares in Visanet

On June 30, 2009, the Bank announced the sale of some of its shares, held through BB Investimentos, in Visanet, now known as Cielo, a company that manages the relationship between banks and merchants for the use of credit cards carrying the “Visa” brand, in Visanet’s initial public offering of its shares on BM&FBOVESPA. The Bank sold 96,217,259 shares representing 7.05% of the capital stock of Visanet, resulting in revenue before taxes and expenses in the amount of R$1,415 million.

On July 8, 2009 the Bank, as part of the exercise of the overallotment option by the underwriters of Visanet’s initial public offering, sold an additional 14,330,229 shares in Visanet, resulting in revenue before taxes and expenses of approximately R$200 million. Following the sale of these shares, the Bank, through BB Investimentos, held 321,117,734 shares representing 23.5% of the capital stock of Visanet.

Increase of Shares in Visanet

On April 23, 2010, Banco do Brasil announced that together with BB Investimentos, it would purchase: (i) shares of the Brazilian Company for Solutions and Services (Ca. Brasileira de Soluções e Serviços), or CBSS, corresponding to 4.655% of the capital stock of CBSS; and (ii) shares of Cielo, corresponding to 5.1% of the capital stock of Cielo, both held by the Santander Group.

 

- 147 -


Upon completion of the transaction, BB Investimentos will pay to the Santander Group R$1,100 million, of which R$60.8 million relates to the CBSS shares and R$1,039.2 million relates to the Cielo shares. Once completed, the equity interest of BB Investimentos in Cielo’s capital stock will increase from 23.54% to 28.65%, and in CBSS’s capital stock will increase from 40.35% to 45.0%. The transaction remains subject to the satisfactory negotiation of the final documentation and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory rules.

The increase of Visanet holdings (now Cielo) will allow the Bank to increase its equity interest in the capital stock of companies operating in the credit card market.

Acquisition of interest in Banco Patagonia

Banco do Brasil announced that it agreed with the controlling shareholders of Banco Patagonia on April 21, 2010, to purchase 51% of Banco Patagonia’s voting capital from the controlling shareholders.

The purchase price for the controlling shares (366,825,016 Class B common shares) is US$479.7 million, or US$1.3076 per share. This transaction is conditioned upon the approval of (a) the Central Bank of Argentina; (b) the Argentinean Competition Defense agency (Defensa de la Competencia); (c) the BACEN; (d) the shareholders of Banco do Brasil attending the annual meeting, in conformity with Article 256, of the Brazilian Corporations Law, to be held within 60 days prior to closing of the transaction; and (E) the Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) to conduct the public tender offer for the shares.

The acquisition of Banco Patagonia has four main objectives: (i) to expand the Bank’s operations in Argentina; (ii) to diversify the products and services Banco Patagonia offers; (iii) to expand Banco Patagonia’s credit portfolio, particularly for transactions in the wholesale market; and (iv) to increase operations throughout supply chains in Argentina, by increasing services to micro- and small-enterprise segments, employees and suppliers.

Corporate Reorganization of Certain of the Bank’s Subsidiaries Operating in the Insurance Sector

In October 2009, the Bank announced the corporate reorganization of certain of its subsidiaries operating in the insurance sector. The Bank established two wholly-owned non-financial subsidiaries, BB Seguros and BB Aliança and divested part of its interest in BB Investimentos, the insurance assets of which were transferred to BB Seguros and BB Aliança as of September 30, 2009. As a result of this reorganization, BB Seguros holds (i) 49.99% of the total share capital of Brasilprev Seguros, (ii) 70% of the total share capital of Brasilveículos, (iii) 49.99% of the total share capital of Brasilcap, and (iv) 49.92% of the total share capital of Brasilsaúde. BB Aliança holds 100% of the total share capital of Aliança do Brasil.

On April 30, 2010, the Bank announced that BB Seguros Participações S.A., or BB Seguros, the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and PFG do Brasil Ltda., member of the Principal Financial Group, or Principal, renewed their strategic partnership. BB Seguros and Principal agreed that BB Seguros (through the Bank’s distribution channels) would (i) market private pension products exclusively through Brasilprev until October 2032 and (ii) increase its holding in Brasilprev’s total share capital from 49.99% to 74.995%. As a result, Principal will hold 25.005% of the total share capital of Brasilprev.

The transactions above are subject to approval by the applicable regulatory authorities, pursuant to applicable law.

On January 6, 2010, BB Seguros entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Grupo Icatu for the purposes of establishing a strategic partnership for the development and marketing of a capitalization plan in Brazil.

 

- 148 -


On May 5, 2010, the Bank announced that BB Seguros, Banco do Brasil’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the insurance company MAPFRE entered into a partnership agreement in the life, casualty and vehicle insurance segments for a period of 20 years. BB Seguros will invest up to R$295 million to develop this partnership.

On May 5, 2010, Banco do Brasil, in order to continue with the corporate reorganization process in the insurance, private pension and financing area, acting through BB Seguros, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banco do Brasil, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Sul América Companhia Nacional de Seguros, or Sul América, to acquire all of Sul América’s shares in Brasilveículos Companhia de Seguros, or Brasilveículos, totaling 60.0% of Brasilveículos capital stock. The price of this transaction amounts to R$340 million. The increase in the Bank’s Brasilveículos holdings expands the Bank’s market share in the insurance sector. Additionally, IRB-Brasil Re’s business will further expand the Bank’s insurance operations, in line with the reorganization of the insurance segment in the Bank.

Distribution Network

As of March 31, 2010, the Bank had the largest proprietary network of banking service facilities in Brazil, totaling more than 18,030 points of service in 3,546 Brazilian municipalities.

The line item sale and manufacturing of agricultural products shows financial support provided to agricultural companies that sell, process or manufacture agricultural products.

Legal Proceedings

Banco do Brasil is a party to certain judicial and administrative proceedings, as plaintiff or defendant. In proceedings in which the Bank is defendant, the plaintiffs are clients, employees, former employees and employees of other service providers. In the administrative proceedings, the main plaintiffs include, among others: the INSS, the Federal Revenue and the State and Municipal Treasury Departments. Most of the lawsuits where Banco do Brasil is the plaintiff seek to recover matured loans. Controls have been established to identify the effects of these lawsuits which arise out of the normal course of business inherent in the functions of a development agent. Provisions are recognized for legal proceedings with probable risk of loss, based on analysis of the likelihood of a favorable outcome and the possibility of its calculation. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contingencies for Litigation.”

The provisioning method follows the standards issued by CVM Deliberation No. 489, of October 3, 2005, which accepted and approved Ibracon Pronouncement NPC No. 22 regarding provisions, liabilities, contingent liabilities and contingent assets. According to this rule, contingencies with chance of loss by Banco do Brasil higher than its chance of success should be provisioned. The probability analysis takes into account the alleged facts, legal precedents relevant to the claim and the experience of experts on the issue under dispute. Based on the opinion of the Bank’s general counsel, Banco do Brasil recognizes provisions only for contingencies with probable chance of loss under CVM Deliberation 489. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Methodology and Criteria for Recognizing Provisions for Contingencies.”

The possibility of loss in connection with labor claims in prejudgment phase (discussion and judgment of rights alleged by the plaintiff) is classified in an automated system. The classification of loss (remote, possible or probable) is applied based on the type of claim or type of cause of action. This situation may be changed due to the result registered in the system (award and/or decision). The values of the labor claims with probable loss are fully provisioned.

The Bank’s legal advisors, for other legal and administrative proceedings (civil, tax and social security) analyze the possibility of loss for a particular claim and assign percentage rates of success. Based on the percentage rate, the system automatically classifies the possibility of loss as remote, possible or probable. For claims with probable loss, the base value corresponds to a 100.0% provision.

The increase of the balance of allowance for escrow deposits totaled R$21,209 million in 2009, an increase of 17.8% from 2008 to 2009. This increase is mainly due to the increase in escrow deposits for labor, civil and tax contingencies (R$2,587 million) recorded for probable, possible and/or remote losses.

Labor Claims

Since 2003, the Bank has experienced labor strikes during the collective bargaining periods between the third and fourth quarter of each year, with no material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations.

Bank Workers Union of Rio de Janeiro

The Bank Workers Union of Rio de Janeiro (SEEB-Rio) filed a lawsuit against the Bank in 2003, claiming parity of wages for union employees compared to employees of the Central Bank of Brazil. The restated amount claimed was R$490.3 million as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as remote, and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

Since then, the Bank has offset these tax losses in full against IRPJ, CSLL and has made judicial deposits of the amount due, and the courts recognize the suspension of payment of these taxes until final judgment of the Bank’s request. The Bank has made a judicial deposit in the amount of R$9.9 billion, as of March 31, 2010, in connection with this lawsuit.

Income tax on wages paid to employees

In 1998, the Brazilian Tax Authority filed an assessment notice against the Bank for payment of income tax on wages paid to employees in January and August of 1998. The restated amount claimed was R$457.6 million as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “possible,” and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

INSS

In 2004, the Bank filed a legal request against the INSS for the non-payment of employer’s union dues on non-salary allowances. The restated amount claimed was R$661.9 million as of March 31, 2010.

PIS/COFINS

In 2009, the Bank filed an action seeking determination of PIS/PASEP and COFINS taxes based on gross revenue from services, under Supplemental Law No. 70/91. A Court decision rendered on January 20, 2010 (not yet published) permits Banco do Brasil, Banco Popular do Brasil and BB Corretora to pay such taxes, as of July 2009, according to the tax bases specified by the applicable law.

The restated amount claimed by the Bank was R$79.9 million as of March 31, 2010. The risk of loss is possible. There is a recorded legal obligation in the amount of R$79.9 million. The amount of the legal obligation will be increased monthly based on the determination of PIS/PASEP and COFINS based on gross revenue from services provided.

Civil Lawsuits

Eldorado Indústria e Comércio de Calçados Ltda.

The Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit for moral and civil damages in the amount of R$329.2 million as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has assigned a risk level of “remote” for this lawsuit and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

Bresser, Summer and Collor Plans

The Bank is a defendant to lawsuits for the payment of the difference between the actual inflation rate and the inflation rate used for the adjustment of financial investments during the period of economic plans in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, known as the Bresser Plan, the Summer Plan and the Collor Plan. As of March 31, 2010, the number of lawsuits with respect to the Bresser, Summer and Collor Plans were 72,187, 154,607 and 85,707, respectively. The amounts involved in these lawsuits and provisions for these lawsuits have been included in the tables above.

A public class action was filed in May 2007 against Banco Nossa Caixa S.A for the restated amount of R$4.7 billion as of March 31, 2010. Banco Nossa Caixa has filed a request to reduce the amount of the claim.

 

- 165 -


The Bank has assigned a risk level of remote for this claim, taking into account the recent decision handed down by the Superior Court of Justice, which established that civil class actions relating to inflationary understatements of economic plans have a statute of limitation of 5 years; therefore no provision has been recorded in the Bank’s balance sheet.

The Brazilian Association of Volunteers against Illegalities, Damages and Abuses (Associação Brasileira dos Voluntários Contra Ilegalidades Danos e Abusos, or ABRAVIDA) filed a lawsuit against the Bank in 2007, for the amount R$22.5 billion as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has assigned a risk level of remote for this claim, taking into account the recent decision handed down by the Superior Court of Justice, which established that civil class actions relating to inflationary understatements of economic plans have a statute of limitation of 5 years.

Annulment of transactions carried out by the Central Bank

A class action was filed in April 1999, seeking a declaration of annulment of certain transactions carried out by the Central Bank through the Bank. There has not been a judgment by the lower Court yet. The restated amount claimed was R$2.7 billion as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “remote,” and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

Currency future contracts

A class action was filed against the Bank in April 1999, relating to currency future contracts with Banco Fontecindam. The claim is in the expert investigation phase. The restated amount claimed was R$1.3 billion as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “remote,” and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

A separate class action was filed against the Bank in May 1999, relating to currency future contracts on the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. There has not been a judgment by the lower Court yet. The restated amount claimed was R$14.1 billion as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “remote,” in accordance with recommendations from the Bank’s legal advisors, and therefore has not recorded any provision in its balance sheet.

Industrial credit certifícate

In August 1995, the Bank filed a claim against Mendes Junior Engenharia S.A. for payment of an industrial credit certificate. The restated amount claimed was R$1.0 billion as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified its chances of success in this claim as probable.

Exclusivity in the rendering of banking services relating to payroll

The Municipal Workers Union of São Paulo (Sindsep-SP) filed an injunction to suspend the effects of Decree No. 51.198/10 which provides for payroll deductions of municipal employees. The injunction was initially granted, but later suspended by the President of the Superior Court of Justice. The amount of the exclusivity agreement entered into between Banco do Brasil and the City of São Paulo is R$726.0 million. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “remote.”

A civil class action was filed in June 2007 seeking a declaration of invalidity of an agreement entered into between the State of São Paulo and Banco Nossa Caixa regarding exclusivity in the rendering of banking services relating to payroll. The action was challenged by Banco Nossa Caixa and the value of the claim was refuted. The Court has approved the presentation of expert evidence requested by the plaintiff for purposes of analyzing of the value of the exclusivity set forth in the agreement. There is no lower Court decision yet. The restated amount claimed was R$2.5 billion, as of March 31, 2010. The Bank has classified risk from this claim as “remote.”

Compensation

The basic compensation provided to the Bank’s employees consists of personal allowances and job allowances. Personal allowances include (i) standard wages in the form of a monthly salary; (ii) personal adjustments to standard wages which provide differences in standard wages for administrative and technical positions; (iii) additional standard wages for support services positions (created after a restructuring from 1982, soon to be cancelled); and (iv) an additional allowance for service time, provided to employees hired through August 31, 1996, to replace a monthly bonus. Job allowances include (i) a basic additional job allowance paid as

basic compensation for commissioned positions; (ii) a temporary additional allowance for jobs with eight-hour shifts; and (iii) a basic additional job allowance which supplements the basic additional job allowance for commissioned positions with eight-hour shifts, in cases where the sum of the basic additional job allowance and temporary additional allowance is less than one-third of a clerk’s salary.

Variable Compensation

The profit sharing program provides for semi-annual payment to the Bank’s employees and is composed of two modules:

 

   

The FENABAN Module corresponds to 45% of the basic compensation, subject to increase by a fixed amount defined in the agreement. Basic compensation includes the amount of compensation for different positions or jobs effectively held or performed during the six-month period.

 

   

The BB Module is composed of two portions: (i) a fixed portion which corresponds to 4% of the Bank’s net income recorded in the semi-annual balance sheet, proportionally divided between employees (for purposes of determining the fixed portion, the number of employees corresponds to the sum of days worked by each employee, divided by the number of days in the six-month period); and (ii) a variable portion which is equivalent to the product of a number of salaries multiplied by the basic compensation, out of which the FENABAN module and the fixed portion of BB module are subtracted. Receipt of the variable portion during the six-month period must be compliant with the employment agreement.

Relationship between the Bank and Labor Unions

Historically, Banco do Brasil has maintained a collegial relationship with unions by prioritizing communication and working towards negotiated solutions. The Bank’s organizational structure includes executive officers responsible for focusing on relationships with employee unions.

Banco do Brasil exceeds statutory requirements by adopting a permanent collective bargaining model, mutually agreed upon with the unions, with periodic meetings scheduled to discuss employment matters. In addition, the Bank holds monthly topic-specific round tables to discuss matters such as occupational health and working conditions, supplementary pension plans, compensation and outsourcing.

The Bank recognizes a union representative, as provided for in its Collective Bargaining Agreement, and grants to such representative the same rights conferred upon the union leader, pursuant to Article 543 of the Consolidated Labor Laws (CLT).

These measures have been taken by the Bank to comply with current legislation, to provide a collegial work environment and to maintain a constant relationship with employee unions.

Since 2003, strikes have occurred at Banco do Brasil during the collective bargaining periods between the third and fourth quarter of each year, with no material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations. See “Business—Legal Proceedings” for more information regarding these claims.

Credit Programs

The Bank acts as a financial agent for BNDES/FINAME, aimed at generating development, employment and income. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank (not including Nossa Caixa data) onlent R$19.6 billion in funds from BNDES, representing 75.8% of the total volume of such loans.

PROGER Rural is designed to provide fixed credit for agricultural and livestock financing, in addition to financial support for fixed and semi-fixed investments in the agricultural sector. PRONAF targets the financing of agricultural activities in general. As of December 31, 2009, the volume of the Bank’s operations onlent to the agricultural sector (under the PROGER Rural and PRONAF programs) was R$18.3 billion, an increase of 21.1% from December 31, 2008.

The Bank also lends funds under the FINAME program, which aims to finance machinery and equipment. As of December 31, 2009, funds lent under the FINAME program totaled R$8.4 billion, an increase of 27.3% from December 31, 2008. This amount represents a liability vis-à-vis BNDES.

As of March 31, 2010, the volume of funds directed to these programs was R$12.8 billion, accounted for as subordinated debt, due to their long-term nature and lower collection priority.

History of Certain Changes to Capital Stock

Extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on April 25, 2007

At the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on April 25, 2007, the shareholders of the Bank approved (i) the split of the Bank’s common shares at the ratio of 1:3, granting two new shares per share held by existing shareholders; and (ii) the capitalization of R$442,159,945.41, recorded in the Bank’s expansion reserve account, and the amount of R$355,637,532.37, recorded in the Bank’s capital reserve account, without the issuance of new shares. As a result, the share capital of the Bank at that time increased to R$12,710,692,615.95, composed of 2,475,949,269 common book-entry shares with no par value.

Extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on May 19, 2010

Corporate Transformation and Restructuring

In the last five years there has been no relevant corporate transformation and/or restructuring involving the Bank.

Subscription Warrants

On June 17, 1996, the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting approved the distribution of warrants in the proportion of one warrant for each share held by the shareholders, in three series, A, B and C, respectively corresponding to 20%, 30% and 50% of the capital at that time. The period for exercising the Series A and B Warrants has already elapsed. On July 7, 2002, the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting approved the conversion the Bank’s Series B (already expired) and C Warrants using the same method used to convert the Bank’s then preferred shares into common shares. Accordingly, each Series B and C Warrantholder has the right to subscribe 1.043933 common share (0.56067 common shares plus the product of 0.43933 preferred shares multiplied by 1.1) during the applicable periods. In April, 2007, the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting approved the split of the Bank’s common shares at the ratio of one to three (1:3) so that two new shares were granted to each share previously held. With this change, each Series C subscription warrant, which exercise is scheduled for the period from March 31 to June 30, 2011, shall be entitled to subscribe 3.131799 common shares. From July 2006 to June 2011, whenever there is a capital raise through a share issuance, the same share subscription period will be granted to the warrant holders to exercise their rights. The price to exercise the warrants is R$8.50 (the value on the date of the shareholders’ meeting that approved the issue) per 1 share adjusted for the IGP-DI inflation index, from the issue date to the exercise date of the subscription rights.

The amount of Series C warrants issued and not exercised by the Bank corresponds, as of March 31, 2010 to 5,880,483 Warrants. If shareholders equity interest is maintained at current levels, the federal government will continue to have the controlling stake of the Bank, even if the warrants are fully exercised.

Business Purpose

The Bank’s business purpose encompasses all active, passive and related banking activities, the rendering of banking services, intermediation and financial supply in its various forms, and the exercise of any activities authorized for institutions that make up the Brazilian financial system. Further, the Bank may act in the commercialization of agribusiness products and incentivize the sale and purchase of goods produced, or serve as an agent in the execution of the federal government’s financial and credit policies. Administration of third-party resources must be done through the contracting of a subsidiary company or a company controlled by the Bank.

Shareholder Rights

In accordance with Brazilian Corporations Law, neither the Bank’s bylaws nor the general shareholders’ meetings may deprive shareholders of their right to:

 

   

share in the Bank’s profits;

 

   

in the event of the liquidation of the Bank, to participate in the distribution of any remaining assets in proportion to their share in the Bank’s capital stock;

 

   

monitor the management of the Bank as per Brazilian Corporations Law;

 

   

exercise their right of first refusal in the subscription of future capital increases, except in certain circumstances as set forth in Brazilian Corporations Law; and

- 193 -


Pursuant to Brazilian Corporations Law, in the event of the sale of control of the Bank, all shareholders have the right to tender their shares to the acquirer. Upon sale of control, shareholders may still sell their shares at a price at least equal to 80% of the price paid per common share of the controlling block. However, the bylaws of the Bank currently reflect Novo Mercado rules, which require that 100% of the price paid per controlling share be extended to all shareholders in the event of a sale of control.

Each share confers upon its holder the following rights, advantages and privileges: (i) the right to receive, every six months, and in the proportion of their share of Bank’s capital, a mandatory dividend equivalent to 25% of net profit during the year, adjusted as per Article 202 of the Brazilian Corporations Law; (ii) the right to receive dividends and all other rights inherent to common shares issued by the Bank; and (iii) the right to vote in deliberations of the general shareholders’ meetings, except in the event of the adoption of a multiple vote for election of members of the Board of Directors; (iv) in the event of the sale of control of the Bank, by means of one or successive transactions, the right to sell its shares in the same conditions granted to the controlling shareholder; and (v) all other rights applicable to the Bank’s common shares under the rules of the Novo Mercado, the Bank’s bylaws and the Brazilian Corporations Law.

As per the contract signed with the BM&FBOVESPA on May 31, 2006 to list the Bank’s common shares on the Novo Mercado, the Bank may not issue common shares without voting rights or with restricted voting rights.

General Shareholders’ Meeting

At a regularly called and convened general shareholders’ meeting of the Bank, its shareholders are authorized to decide on all business relating to the Bank and to make all deliberations that they judge to be appropriate to the interests of the Bank. It is exclusively up to the shareholders, in a general ordinary shareholders’ meeting, which must be held annually in the month of April, to discuss and vote on the audited financial statements and to determine the destination of net profit and the distribution of dividends from the immediately preceding year. Extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings may be held simultaneously with the ordinary meetings, or at any other time. According to the terms of the Bank’s bylaws and Brazilian Corporations Law, the shareholders of the Bank retain the exclusive ability to determine:

 

   

the sale, in whole or in part, of the capital stock of the Bank or of its controlled companies;

 

   

any increase in the Bank’s capital through the subscription of new common shares;

 

   

the waiver of any right to subscribe common shares or convertible debentures into shares of controlled companies;

 

   

the sale of convertible debentures into common shares owned by the Bank issued by controlled companies;

 

   

the issue of any other securities, in Brazil or abroad;

 

   

any sale, merger or incorporation;

 

   

any commutation of shares or other securities; and

 

   

any practices, other than corporate governance practices and the signing of contracts for that purpose, with stock exchanges.

Quorum

As a general rule, Brazilian Corporations Law requires that the general shareholders’ meeting begin with an initial call of only those shareholders holding a minimum of 25% of the Bank’s capital with voting rights, followed by a second call that contains any number of shareholders holding shares with voting rights. If the shareholders have been called to deliberate on changes to the Bank’s bylaws, the first quorum in the initial call must carry with it at least two-thirds of the common shares with voting rights, but in the second call, with any specified number of shares.

In general, the approval of any matter requires a majority of the common shares held by those shareholders appearing either personally or by means of a proxy, and abstaining votes are not considered in the calculation. However, the following matters require the approval of shareholders representing at least half of all the common shares, regardless of attendance:

 

   

change in the Bank’s corporate purpose;

 

   

reduction of the minimum mandatory dividend;

 

   

merger or amalgamation of the Bank into another company;

 

   

spin-off;

 

   

holding equity interest in a group of companies;

 

   

termination of liquidation process; and

 

   

dissolution.

The CVM may authorize a reduction in the required quorum set forth under Brazilian Corporations Law in the case of a publicly traded company with shares dispersed throughout the market if the last three meetings were conducted with the presence of shareholders representing less than half of the shares with voting rights.

Call

In accordance with Brazilian Corporations Law, the convening of the Bank’s general shareholders’ meetings is announced publicly at least three times in the Federal District Official Daily Gazette, as well as in another newspaper with general circulation, which in the case of the Bank are, Valor Econômico in the City of São Paulo, Correio Brasiliense in the City of Brasilia and Jornal do Comércio in the City of Rio de Janeiro. The official call notice must be published at least 15 days prior to each general shareholders’ meeting, unless a longer period is established under applicable law or regulation.

However, the CVM may, in specific circumstances, require that publication of the first call be made at least 30 days prior to the relevant general shareholders’ meeting. Additionally, the CVM may, at the request of any shareholder, extend, for up to 15 days, the period prior to the call of the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting in order to understand and analyze the proposals to be submitted at the meeting. The call notice must contain the agenda, and if the Bank’s bylaws are to be modified, a summary of the proposed amendments.

Location of General Shareholders’ Meeting

The general shareholders’ meetings of the Bank are held at its corporate headquarters located at SBS, Quadra 01, Lote 32, Ed. Sede III—24th floor, in the Federal District. Brazilian Corporations Law also permits

- 196 -

acquiring, for profitable resale, goods or rights that he or she knows are necessary for the Bank or that the Bank intends to acquire.

Withdrawal Rights

Those shareholders who dissent from certain decisions taken at the general shareholders’ meeting may withdraw from the Bank and redeem the book value of their shares.

Under Brazilian Corporations Law, the withdrawal right may be exercised in the following circumstances, among others:

 

   

spin-off (as described below);

 

   

reduction of mandatory dividend;

 

   

change in the Bank’s corporate purpose;

 

   

merger of the Bank into another Brazilian company, such that the Bank becomes a wholly owned subsidiary; or, the acquisition by the Bank of all the shares of another Brazilian company such that that company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank;

 

   

acquisition of control of another company for a price that exceeds the limits established in the second paragraph of Article 256 of Brazilian Corporations Law;

 

   

merger or amalgamation of the Bank into another company; or

 

   

hold equity interest in a group of companies.

Brazilian Corporations Law further provides that a spin-off will give rise to the right to withdraw only if there is a change in the Bank’s corporate purpose, except when the separated equity is transferred to a company whose activity substantially coincides with the corporate purpose of the Bank; there is a reduction in the minimum mandatory dividend; or there is a participation in a group of companies, in the cases of:

 

   

merger of the Bank or amalgamation, in which the Bank is absorbed by another company;

 

   

participation in a group of companies;

 

   

merger of all the common shares of the Bank into the equity of another Brazilian company, such that the Bank becomes a wholly owned subsidiary, or acquisition by the Bank of all the shares of another Brazilian company such that that company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank; or

 

   

acquisition of the control of another company for a price that exceeds the limits established in the second paragraph of Article 256 of Brazilian Corporations Law.

The shareholders of the Bank will not have the right to withdraw if their shares (i) are liquid, meaning they are listed on the BM&FBOVESPA’s general index or the index of any other stock exchange, as defined by the CVM, and (ii) they are widely held such that the controlling shareholder, the controlling company or other commonly controlled companies hold less than 50% of the Bank’s common shares.

 

- 197 -


The shareholders of the Bank will have the right to withdraw in the event of merger or spin-off if the resulting company does not obtain the publicly traded company register within a maximum period of 120 days, starting from the date of the general shareholders’ meeting that approved the transaction.

The right to withdraw must be exercised within 30 days following publication of the act of the general shareholders’ meeting that approved the transaction. Furthermore, the Bank may, within 10 days following the end of the period for payment of reimbursement, reconsider any deliberation that has given rise to the right to withdraw, if it is understood that payment of the reimbursement price of the shares of dissenting shareholders will place the Bank’s financial condition at risk.

If the right to withdraw is exercised, the shareholders will have the right to receive the book value of their shares based on the most recent balance sheet approved at the general shareholders’ meeting. However, if the decision that gave rise to the right to withdraw occurred more than 60 days before the date of the most recently approved balance sheet, the shareholder may request that a special balance sheet be prepared on the date that adheres to the 60-day period, for evaluation of the value of his or her shares. In this case, 80% of the calculated reimbursement value based on the most recently approved balance sheet will be paid immediately, and the amount will be paid within 120 days of the date of the general shareholders’ meeting that gave rise to the right to withdraw.

Redemption

As per Brazilian Corporations Law, the common shares of the Bank may be redeemed by a decision of the shareholders in a general shareholders’ meeting, who represent a minimum of 50% of the Bank’s capital.

Preemptive Right

Except as described below, the shareholders of the Bank have preemptive rights in the subscription of common shares in any capital increase, in proportion to their shareholdings.

However, pursuant to Brazilian Corporations Law, the Bank’s bylaws authorize the exclusion or reduction of the right of preemptive rights to the shareholders and bondholders in share issues in which the capital increase was authorized in a general shareholders’ meeting, if placed for sale on a stock exchange or through public subscription, or through commutation for shares publicly offered for purchase of control.

Current shareholders of the Bank have preemptive rights with respect to the shares issued by the Bank and in accordance with the Brazilian Corporations Law, which must be exercised within a three-day period as established during an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting held on May 19, 2010, and in accordance with the Brazilian Corporations Law.

The Brazilian Treasury will not exercise a portion of its preemptive rights and as authorized by Provisionary Measure No. 487 of April 23, 2010 and pursuant to Decree No. 7,184, dated May 27, 2010, will assign its non-exercised preemptive rights to the Investment and Stabilization Fiscal Fund, an investment fund wholly-owned by the Brazilian Sovereign Fund. Shareholders who exercise their preemptive rights may receive either units and common shares. On June 8, 2010, PREVI approved the exercise of the totality of its preemptive right.

See “Principal Shareholders” for more information regarding preemptive rights.

Share Registry

The common shares of the Bank are kept in book-entry form at the Bank itself, without the issue of certificates. The transfer of common shares is done by means of an account debit for the seller’s shares and an account credit for the purchaser, by written order of the seller or by legal order or authorization.

Insider Information Restrictions on Controlling Shareholders, Managers and Members of the Supervisory Board

The controlling shareholders, members of the executive board, the board of directors, the fiscal council, and any other organization with technical or consultative functions that were created by statutory disposition, or whomsoever, by virtue of their charge, function or position in the Bank, its controlling shareholders or its controlled or affiliated companies, has knowledge of information relating to a material fact or act, must abstain from negotiating securities issued by the Bank or referencing them, under the following conditions, among others:

 

   

prior to releasing to the public any material fact or act that occurred in the business dealings of the Bank;

 

   

prior to releasing information about incorporation, merger, spin-off in whole or in part of the assets of the Bank, or its reorganization;

in relation to the controlling shareholders, council members and directors, in the event of the purchase or sale by the Bank of its own common shares or in the event of the purchase or sale of common shares issued by the Bank by any of its controlled or affiliated companies, or a partnership that is under joint control with the Bank.

Tag Along Rights

In accordance with the Novo Mercado Rules, the sale of control of the Bank, whether through a single transaction or by means of successive transactions, must be made under conditions in which the purchaser agrees to conduct, pursuant to the conditions and deadlines provided by applicable legislation and by the Novo Mercado rules, the public offer for purchase of the remaining common shares under the same terms and conditions offered to the controlling shareholder.

A public offer is further required when:

 

  (a) there is an onerous assignment of subscription rights of common shares and other securities, or rights related to securities that are convertible into common shares, which result in a change of control of the Bank; or

 

  (b) in the event of change of control in the company that holds the controlling interest, as defined under the Novo Mercado rules. In such a case, the selling shareholder shall disclose to the BM&FBOVESPA the amount paid in relation to the company in such transaction, as well as deliver documentation proving such amount; and

 

  (c) holders of common shares in the Bank acquire control by means of a particular share purchase contract. In this case, the purchasing shareholder will be obliged to (i) make a formal tender offer to purchase the common shares pursuant to the same terms and conditions offered to the selling shareholder, and (ii) to reimburse the shareholders who purchased shares in the stock market during the six months prior to the date that control was sold. The reimbursement amount is the difference between the price paid to the controlling shareholder selling its shares and the amount paid on the market for common shares during that period, duly adjusted.

 

- 199 -


Whoever acquires control of the Bank must adopt appropriate measures, to the extent necessary, in order to restore within six months the minimum percentage of 25% of shares in circulation in the market.

The controlling shareholder may not transfer its common shares in the Bank to the entity acquiring control of the Bank, and the purchaser and the Bank may not register the transfer of those shares if the purchaser and the Bank do not sign an approval agreement, which shall be forwarded to BM&FBOVESPA immediately after signature. The new controlling shareholders shall be personally liable to submit to, and act in accordance with, the participation agreement of the Novo Mercado, and its relevant rules and arbitration provisions.

Acquisition by the Bank of its Own Common Shares

The bylaws of the Bank authorize the general shareholders’ meeting to approve the Bank’s purchase of its own outstanding shares to hold in treasury or for subsequent cancellation or sale. The decision to purchase its own shares to hold in treasury or for cancellation may not, among other things:

 

   

result in the reduction of the Bank’s capital stock;

 

   

require the use of resources greater than the amount of profits or reserves recorded on the most recent balance sheet of the Bank (except for the legal reserve, reserve for profits to be realized, reappraisal reserve, and the special reserve for undistributed mandatory dividends);

 

   

create, directly or indirectly, any artificial demand, offer, or price, or employ non-equitable practices as a consequence of any act or omission;

 

   

be used for the purchase of shares held by the controlling shareholder of the Bank; or

 

   

be undertaken if there is a public offer under way for the acquisition of the common shares issued by the Bank.

The decision to acquire its own common shares must specify (i) the purpose of the transaction; (ii) the number of common shares to be acquired; (iii) the period in which the common shares may be purchased, which may not exceed 365 days; (iv) the number of common shares in circulation in the market; and (v) the names and addresses of financial institutions which will act as intermediaries.

Arbitration

The Bank, its shareholders, directors, officers and the members of the fiscal council, if installed, must submit to arbitration any disputes or controversies relating to the application, legality, validity, effectiveness, interpretation, violation and effects of the violation of the provisions of the Novo Mercado listing rules, the agreement between the Bank and BM&FBOVESPA, the BM&FBOVESPA arbitration rules, the provision of the Brazilian Corporate Laws, the applicable rules of the CMN, BACEN or CVM, the regulators of BM&FBOVESPA and other rules generally applicable to the capital market.

Policy for Internal Release of Information

The Bank’s management has in place well-defined policies regarding the procedural aspects of the decision-making process regarding the businesses and activities of the Bank. These policies are geared to ensuring with applicable legal requirements, as well as the requirements of regulatory and fiscal authorities.

In managing its businesses, the Bank consistently releases information related to political, administrative, technical, business or economic events which are capable of materially affecting the prices of its securities and influencing the decisions of its investors. Access to material information is available to all agents of the Bank, to its clients, employees, the press and investors.

Access to information regarding material events or facts, prior to release to the market, is limited to professionals directly involved with the subject in question, until its public release to the market is deemed appropriate by the Bank. Members of management and any other persons who, by virtue of their charge, function or position within the Bank, have access to information relating to material acts of facts, must maintain the confidentiality of that information until its release to the market, and they must ensure that their subordinates do the same, and are liable jointly and severally in the event of a breach.

 

- 202 -


The vice chairman of the finance, capital markets and investor relations directorate is responsible for disseminating information that relates to material events or facts, without excluding the joint and several liability of the other members of management in the event of breach of the protocols prior to release. The members of the executive board, the fiscal council and the board of directors are obligated to inform the vice chairman of the finance, capital markets and investor relations directorate of any material events or facts of which they are aware or which occur in an area where they may exercise their discretion as to whether the information should remain confidential or be released. In the event that members of the executive board, the fiscal council and the executive officers verify an omission by the vice chairman of finance, capital markets and investor relations in releasing a material act or fact of which they have knowledge, they must notify him in writing so that the information is released, without affecting his responsibility to the CVM.

In exceptional cases, material events or facts may not be disclosed if the controlling shareholder or the Bank’s management are of the view that releasing such information places the legitimate interests of the Bank at risk. If the Bank’s management decides to maintain the confidentiality of the material fact or event and this information is subsequently disclosed, the vice chairman of the finance, capital markets and investor relations directorate must immediately disclose that information by means of a notice of material fact. If the common shares of the Bank show unusual fluctuations in the quotation, price or quantity negotiated, the vice chairman of the finance, capital markets and investor relations directorate must inquire in writing of the persons with access to the material information in order to verify if they have knowledge regarding a material fact or act that should be released to the market, and if so, to immediately disclose the information.

The release of a material event or fact through the press is done in a way which conforms to the complete version posted on the Bank’s website, or in a summarized form, with the degree of clarification necessary regarding the information, without affecting the release in other media. This decision is up to the vice chairman of the finance, capital markets and investor relations directorate.

Application of Net Profit and Distribution of Dividends

During each regular general shareholders’ meeting, the Board of Directors of the Bank must authorize the Executive Board to take a decision regarding the use of the net profits of the preceding year. Pursuant to Brazilian Corporations Law, the net profits of any year must be distributed to the shareholders as dividends or applied to revenue reserves.

For the purposes of Brazilian Corporations Law, fiscal net profit is defined as the surplus after deducting income tax and social security contribution on net profit, net of any losses accumulated from previous years and any amounts allocated for paying out the profit-sharing of employees and directors under the Bank’s bylaws. The profit-sharing of employees and directors cannot exceed the total remuneration of the directors or 10% of the profit of that year, after adjustment, whichever is lower.

Calculation of the Distribution

The bylaws of the Bank provide that a minimum of 25% of the net profit of the year, adjusted in accordance with Brazilian Corporations Law and with the Bank’s bylaws, after a deduction of the amount allocated for the funding of the legal reserve and for the contingency reserves and augmented by the amount of a reversal of such contingency reserves, must be available for distribution to the shareholders as dividends or as payment of interest on invested capital. This amount represents the mandatory minimum dividend. The calculations of the net profit and of the contributions to reserves for any year are determined on the basis of the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Brazilian Corporations Law.

However, Brazilian Corporations Law allows for the payment of the mandatory minimum dividend to be suspended, provided that the Board of Directors informs the general shareholders’ meeting that the distribution would be unadvisable in view of the financial position of the Bank. The Supervisory Board, if one is appointed, must give its opinion on such a recommendation and the directors must submit substantiation to the CVM for such suspension. The profit not distributed because of a suspension as described above must be applied to a special reserve and, if not absorbed by subsequent losses, must be paid out as dividends as soon as the financial position of the Bank so allows.

Revenue Reserves

The revenue reserves include a legal reserve, a reserve for profits to be realized, a contingencies reserve, and a retained earnings reserve.

The Legal Reserve. Pursuant to Brazilian Corporations Law, the Bank must apply 5% of the net profit of each year to the funding of the legal reserve until its value reaches 20% of its paid-in capital. Nevertheless, the

DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND POLICY

The bylaws of a Brazilian company must specify a minimum percentage of profit available for distribution, which may be paid to the shareholders as either dividends or interest on invested capital.

The Bank has adopted a distribution policy by which it intends to pay dividends and/or interest on invested capital, net of income taxes, at a minimum level of 25% of its adjusted net profit for the year, as determined by Brazilian Corporations Law and the Bank’s bylaws.

The Brazilian Corporations Law allows a company to suspend such dividend distribution if its board of directors reports to the annual shareholders’ meeting that the distribution would not be advisable given the company’s financial condition. The fiscal council, if one is in place, reviews any suspension of the mandatory dividend. In addition, the board of directors of publicly-held corporations are required to submit a report to the CVM setting out the reasons for the suspension, within five days of the shareholders’ meeting. Net income not distributed by virtue of a suspension is allocated to a separate reserve and, if not absorbed by subsequent losses, is required to be distributed as dividends as soon as the financial condition of the company should permit such payment.

The table below shows the dividends and interest on invested capital distributed by the Bank for the periods indicated.

See “Risk Factors—Risk Relating to the Bank—The terms of the Bank’s Perpetual Securities contain restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends and interest on capital and to redeem the shares.”

TAXATION

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The exercise of preemptive rights by U.S. Holders (as defined below) may have certain U.S. tax consequences. U.S. Holders who exercise their preemptive rights are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in shares in light of their particular investment circumstances. In addition, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any reporting or filing obligations that may arise as a result of their acquisition, ownership and disposition of common shares.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax without regard to its source or (iv) a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS

The Bank is incorporated under the laws of Brazil. All of the directors and officers of the Bank named in this reference form limited translation reside outside the United States and all or a significant portion of the assets of such persons may be, and substantially all of the assets of the Bank are, located outside the United States. As a result, prospective investors may not be able to effect service of process upon the Bank or these other persons within the United States or to enforce U.S. Court judgments against the Bank or these other persons to the extent that such actions are predicated upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, under the regulations of the Novo Mercado listing segment of the BM&FBOVESPA, any corporate disputes must be submitted to arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules of the Market Arbitration Chamber of BM&FBOVESPA. See “Description of Capital Stock—Arbitration.”

A judgment against the Bank or the persons described above obtained outside Brazil would be enforceable in Brazil without reconsideration of the merits, upon confirmation of that judgment by the highest intermediate Brazilian Superior Court of Justice (the “Superior Tribunal de Justiça”). Such confirmation would occur if the foreign judgment:

 

   

fulfills all formalities required for its enforceability under the laws of the country where the foreign judgment is granted;

 

   

is issued by a competent Court after proper service of process is made or after sufficient evidence of the party’s absence has been given in accordance with Brazilian law;

 

   

is not subject to appeal;

 

   

is authenticated by a Brazilian consular office in the country where the foreign judgment is issued (unless such authentication is waived by international treaties executed between Brazil and the country in which such competent Court is located) and is accompanied by a sworn translation into Portuguese; and

 

   

is not contrary to Brazilian national sovereignty, public policy or public morality.

Original actions based on the federal securities laws of the United States may be brought in Brazilian courts and, subject to applicable law, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against the Bank, its directors and executive officers, provided that provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States do not contravene Brazilian sovereignty, public policy or public morality and that Brazilian courts can assert jurisdiction over the particular action.

The ability of a creditor to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain assets of the Bank is limited by provisions of Brazilian law.

A plaintiff (whether or not Brazilian) residing outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil must provide a bond to guarantee Court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real property in Brazil that could secure such payment, except in case of collection claims based on an instrument that may be enforced in Brazilian courts without the review of its merits (título executivo extra judicial) or counterclaims as established under article 836 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure. The bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of Court fees and defendant’s attorney fees, as determined by a Brazilian judge. This requirement does not apply to the enforcement of foreign judgments that have been duly confirmed by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice.

The independent accountants’ report covering the December 31, 2009 and 2008 Brazilian GAAP consolidated financial statements includes an emphasis paragraph stating that the Bank has recorded assets relating to the surplus of PREVI, which was determined based on criteria established by management that include estimates and assumptions of an actuarial and financial nature, as well as the fulfillment of the requirements established in the regulations in force.

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, included in this reference form limited translation, have been audited by KPMG, independent accountants, as stated in their report appearing herein. KPMG’s independent auditors’ report related to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, included in the reference form limited translation, states that the balances and respective income of some indirect subsidiaries and foreign branches and the net assets of the Retirement and Pension Plan were audited by other independent accountants and that the Bank’s evaluation with respect to those assets and income is based on the reports issued by those independent auditors. In addition the Bank’s report contains paragraphs emphasizing that (a) the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 were prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted and effective in Brazil up to December 31, 2007 and as permitted by Technical Pronouncement CPC 13—Initial Adoption of Law 11,638/07 and of Medida Provisória 449/08, they are not presented with the reclassifications necessary for comparison between the years; (b) the Bank has recorded assets relating to the surplus of the Bank’s PREVI—Retirement and Pension Plan that were recognized based on criteria established by the Bank’s management that include estimates and assumptions of an actuarial and financial nature; and (c) amounts were recorded relating to income and social contribution tax credits that are contingent on future generation of taxable income and adherence to rules established by the National Monetary Council.

With respect to the unaudited interim consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, included herein, KPMG, independent accountants, have reported that they applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate report included herein, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. KPMG’s review report covering the March 31, 2010 and 2009 interim consolidated financial information contains an emphasis paragraph stating that during 2009, the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliarios or “CVM”) has approved several accounting pronouncements, interpretations and guidance issued by CPC and effective in 2010, with retroactive application for 2009 for comparative purposes, which alter the accounting practice adopted in Brazil. As allowed by CVM through Deliberation 603/09, management has presented its interim financial information as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil during fiscal year 2009, and has not applied the new accounting pronouncements, which have a mandatory application for the fiscal 2010 year.

We have conducted a limited review of the balance sheets of Banco do Brasil S.A., individual and consolidated, as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and of the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, statements of cash flows and of added value for the quarters then ended, which are the responsibility of its management.

 

2. Our limited review was carried out in accordance with the specific rules established by the Brazilian Institute of Independent Auditors (IBRACON), and consisted mainly of the performance, involving the ones responsible for the accounting and financial areas, of analytic review procedures of the financial data and of the verification of the criteria adopted in the preparation of the aforementioned financial statements. Considering that our review does not represent an examination in accordance with the accounting practices applicable in Brazil, we are not expressing an opinion on the aforementioned financial statements.

 

3. Based on our limited reviews, we are not aware of any material changes that should be made in the aforementioned financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil, applicable to institutions authorized to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

4. The Bank has recorded in its assets, as of March 31, 2010, the amount of R$13,374 million (R$7,794 as of March 31, 2009) corresponding to the surplus of PREVI – Employee Benefits (Note 27a), which was determined based on criteria established by the Bank’s Management, which are considered adequate in the circumstance. These criteria incorporate long-term estimates and assumptions of actuarial and financial nature, as well as the fulfillment of the requirements established in the regulations in force. Therefore, the inaccuracies inherent to the process of using estimates and assumptions may result in differences between the amount recorded and the amount effectively realized.

1 – The Bank and its Operations

Banco do Brasil S.A. is a publicly listed company established under private law with both public and private stockholders. It is subject to the requirements of Brazilian corporate legislation. Its purpose is to carry out all asset, liability and accessory banking operations, to provide banking services, to intermediate and originate financial transactions in various forms, including foreign exchange transactions and supplementary activities, with an emphasis on insurance, private pension, capitalization, securities brokerage, administration of credit/debit cards, consortiums, investment funds and management portfolios, and to practice any activities permitted for the institutions that are part of the National Finance System. It is also the main financial agent of the Brazilian Federal Government and is therefore required to carry out the functions attributed to it by law, specifically those of Article 19 of Law 4595/1964.

2 – Presentation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting guidelines derived from Brazilian corporation law, the rules and instructions issued by the Conselho Monetário Nacional (CMN), Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP), and the National Health Agency (ANS).

According to Brazilian practices some estimates require that Management use its judgment in determining and recording accounting estimates, when applicable. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful loans and deferred income tax recorded in assets, some contingencies and issues discussed at judicial level were booked, the appreciation of derivative financial instruments, and the assets and liabilities relating to benefits for employees. The final amounts for transactions involving these estimates are only known upon their settlement.

They include operations of Banco do Brasil S.A. in Brazil and abroad (Banco do Brasil), and financial and non-financial subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad, special purpose entities, including the Investment Funds in which the Bank controls directly or indirectly, and investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, in accordance with BACEN requirements (BB-Consolidated). See details of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements.

Since 2008, the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), issued accounting standards and interpretations aligned to the international accounting standards approved by the Securities Commission. Currently, the Bank has applied the pronouncements heretofore listed:

24    Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets   594/2009   3,823/2009   2010

The application and impact of other accounting rules issued by the Bank are being evaluated in the context of the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS) from fiscal year 2010, as determined by CMN Resolution No. 3.786/2009 and Central Bank Circular No. 3.472/2009.

3 – Summary of main accounting practices

a) Statements of income

Income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Transactions with fixed rates are recorded at their redemption value and deferred income and expenses are recorded as a discount to the corresponding assets or liabilities. Variable or foreign-currency-indexed transactions are adjusted to the balance sheet date based on agreed contractual indices.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by available funds in local currency, foreign currency, investments in gold, short-term investments with high liquidity and insignificant risk of change in value and limits, with maturity equal to or less than 90 days and do not include short-term interbank investments – financed position (Note 5).

c) Short-term interbank investments

Short-term interbank investments are recorded at their investment or acquisition amount, plus income accrued up to the balance sheet date and adjustment to allowance for losses when applied.

d) Securities

The securities purchased for the Bank’s portfolio are recorded at the actual amount paid, including brokerage charges and fees, and are classified in three separate categories according to management’s intentions, According to Bacen 3.068/2001:

Trading Securities: these are securities purchased to be actively and frequently traded. They are adjusted monthly to market value. The increases and decreases in their value are recorded, respectively, in income and expense accounts for the period;

Securities available for sale: these are securities purchased to be traded at any time. They are adjusted monthly to market value. The increases and decreases in their value are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate stockholders’ equity account (mark-to-market adjustment).

Securities held to maturity: these are securities that the Bank intends and has the financial ability to hold to maturity. These securities are not adjusted to market value but are held at cost plus accumulated interest. The financial capacity is supported by a cash flow projection that does not consider the possibility of sale of these securities.

The mark-to-market methodology used for securities was established following consistent, verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the day of calculation or, if not available, the daily adjustment of future market transactions reported by Anbima, BM&FBovespa or the net expected realizable value obtained through the use of future interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and price and currency index charged in the settlement.

Income accrued on the securities, irrespective of the category in which they are classified, is appropriated on a daily pro-rata basis on the accrual basis of accounting until the date of maturity or final sale, according to the exponential or straight-line method, based on the contractual remuneration and purchase price, and recorded directly in the statement of income for the period.

Losses with securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity, if considered not to be temporary, are recorded directly in expenses for the period and a new cost basis for the asset is determined.

Upon sale, the difference between the sale amount and the cost of acquisition plus accrued income is recorded as a gain or loss on securities on the date of the transaction.

e) Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at market value at each monthly trial balance and balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in value are recorded in income or expense accounts of the respective financial instruments.

The mark-to-market methodology used for derivative financial instruments was established following consistent, verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the date of calculation or, if not available, pricing models that estimate the expected net realizable value, according to the characteristics of the derivatives.

Derivative financial instruments used to offset, in whole or in part, the risks arising from exposure to variations in market values of financial assets or liabilities or future cash flows are considered hedge instruments and are classified according to their nature:

Market Risk Hedge - the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments, as well as of the hedged item, are recorded in income accounts in the statement of income for the period;

Cash Flow Hedge - the effective portion of the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments classified in this category are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate Stockholders’ Equity account. The effective portion is that where the variation in the hedged item, directly related to the corresponding risk, is offset by the variation in the derivative financial instrument used as the hedge, considering the accumulated effect of the transaction. Other variations in these instruments are recorded directly in income for the period.

f) Loans, lease operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables with loan characteristics and allowance for loan losses

Loans, leases, advances on foreign exchange contracts and other receivables with loan characteristics are classified according to Management’s judgment with respect to the level of risk, taking into consideration market conditions, past experience and specific risks in relation to the operation, to borrowers and guarantors, observing the parameters established by CMN Resolution 2682/1999, which requires periodic analyses of the portfolio and its classification into nine levels, ranging from AA (minimum risk) to H (maximum risk), as well as the classification of operations more than 15 days overdue as non-performing.

Income from loans overdue for more than 60 days, regardless of their risk level, will only be recognized as income when effectively received.

Operations classified at level H, which remain in this classification for 180 days, are written off against the existing provision and monitored for five years in memorandum accounts, but do not appear in the balance sheet.

Renegotiated operations are maintained, at a minimum, at the same level at which they were rated. The renegotiations of loans already written off against the allowance are rated as H and any gains from renegotiation are only recognized as income when effectively received.

The allowance for loan losses is considered sufficient by management which satisfies the minimum requirements established by CMN Resolution 2682/1999 (Note 9.f).

g) Income and Social Contribution Taxes

Income tax is calculated at the basic rate of 15% plus a surcharge of 10%. As of May 1, 2008, Social Contribution is being calculated at the rate of 15% for financial and insurance companies and 9% for other companies.

Tax credits are recorded by applying the current tax rates to the difference between their respective fiscal and accounting bases. The Bank follows the criteria for recording, maintaining, and writing off the tax credits as established by CMN Resolution 3059/2002, and amended by CMN Resolution 3355/2006, and they are supported by a study of their capacity for realization.

The deferred tax liabilities are made by applying the current rates of taxes on their respective bases.

h) Prepaid Expenses

Refer to the application of funds in payments made in advance, and the benefits will be felt or the services will be rendered in subsequent periods.

i) Permanent assets

Investments – The investments in subsidiaries and associated companies with significant influence or with participation of 20% or more voting shares in other companies and which are part of a group or are under common control are evaluated by the equity method based on the value of the equity related or controlled in accordance with the instructions and rules of the Central Bank and the CVM.

The statements of the branches and subsidiaries abroad are adapted to the prevailing accounting criteria in Brazil and translated into Brazilian Reais using current exchange rates, in conformity with BACEN Circulars 2397/93 and 2571/95, and their impacts are recorded in the statement of income for the period. Other permanent investments are stated at cost, restated for inflation up to December 31, 1995, and, if necessary, are adjusted to market value through the formation of a provision, according to the current rules.

Property and equipment – Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation, calculated using the straight-line method at the following annual rates: buildings and improvements - 4%; vehicles - 20%; others - 10%.(Note 14)

Deferred – Deferred assets are recorded at cost of acquisition or formation, net of accrued amortizations. They are composed mainly of expenditures with restructuring and leasehold improvements as a result of opening branches, which are amortized according to rates based on rental terms, as well as expenditures on the acquisition and development of information systems, which are amortized at 20% p.a.

Intangible – Intangible Assets consist of rights that have as their object intangible assets intended for the maintenance of the company or that are exercised for that purpose, including goodwill acquired. An asset meets the criteria for identification as an intangible asset, in accordance with CMN Resolution 3642/2008, when it is inseparable, i.e. it can be separated from the entity and sold, transferred or licensed, rented or exchanged, individually or jointly with a contract, related assets or liabilities, regardless of the intention for use by the entity; or results from contractual rights or other legal rights, regardless of whether these rights are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations.

The carrying value of intangible assets with definite useful life subject to amortization refers to the amounts disbursed for acquisition of rights for providing banking services (acquisition of payrolls) and acquisition/ development of software (Note 15). The amortization of intangible assets is usually done in a linear method during a period of economic benefit estimated and accounted for in Other Administrative Expenses.

j) Decrease in the recoverable value of non-financial assets – impairment

A loss through impairment is recognized if the carrying value of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable value. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash entries, which are largely independent of the cash entries from other assets or groups of assets. Losses through impairment are recognized in income for the period.

From 2008, the values of non-financial assets, excluding tax credits and other assets, are reviewed at least annually to determine whether there is any indication of loss through impairment.

k) Benefits for employees

Short-term benefits for current employees are recognized on the accrual basis as the services are provided. Post-employment benefits, comprising supplementary retirement benefits, medical assistance and other benefits for which the Bank is responsible, were accounted at December 31, 2009 in accordance with criteria established by CVM Resolution 371/2009 and succeeded by CVM Resolution n.° 600/2009 (Note 27.b).

The actuarial asset recognized in the balance sheet (Note 27) refers to the Actuarial gains and its implementation must occur by the end of the plan. There may be partial completion of actuarial, conditioned upon satisfying the requirements of the Supplementary Law No 109/2001 and Resolution CGPC No 26/2008 of 29.09.2008.

l) Operations related to insurance, pension and capitalization activities

Statement of income

Insurance premiums and selling expenses are recorded upon the issuing of policies or upon billing and are recognized in the statement of income, according to the elapsed period of coverage. Revenues from premiums and the corresponding selling expenses, related to present risks without the issuing of respective policies are recognized in the statement of income at the beginning of the coverage, based on estimates.

Income from insurance premiums covering future risks is deferred over the period of validity of the insurance policies, through the recording of provision for unearned premiums, based on the net withholding of earned premiums issued.

Accepted coinsurance, retrocession and DPVAT (Personal injuries caused by motor vehicles) convention operations are recorded based on information received from similar companies, IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. and the Seguradora Lider, respectively.

The revenue from pension plans, life insurance plans with living benefits and capitalization plans are recognized in the statement of income when effectively received, as a contra-entry to the recognition of technical provisions, except the revenue to cover risks in cases of combined pension plans, which must be recognized by the duration of the risk, regardless of your receipt. The selling costs are deferred on the issuing of the contract or policy and allocated to results on a straight-line basis, over the average estimated period for their recovery, except the ones related to capitalization.

Other income and expenses are determined according to the accrual basis of accounting.

Technical Provisions

Rules and procedures for the formation of technical provisions are regulated by Resolutions 36/2000, 162/2006, 181/2007, 195/2008 and 204/2009 of the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and Regulatory Resolution 75/2004 of the National Health Agency (ANS), and calculated in accordance with the specific actuarial technical notes approved by the Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Health Agency (ANS).

Insurance

The Provision for Unearned Premiums represents the portions of premiums that will be allocated to income over the course of the insurance policies, as calculated on a daily pro rata basis.

The Provision for Unearned Premiums for Present Risks But Not Yet Issued represents the adjustment for the Provision for Unearned Premiums given the existence of risks assumed by the insurance company where the policy covering the risk has not yet been formally issued, except for health plan insurance.

The Provision for Premium Deficiency represents the need for coverage of possible deficiencies of the Provision for Unearned Premiums due to the expectations of payment and re-assessment of claims incurred.

The Provision for Unsettled Loss Claims represents the forecast of probable indemnifications, judicial or otherwise, net of recoveries, determined based on notices received up to the balance sheet date, adjusted by the estimate for Claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER).

The Provision for Claims Incurred but not Reported [IBNR - Incurred But Not Reported and Provision for Events Occurred but not Reported - PEONA (of the health insurance segment)] represents the amount expected of claims incurred but not reported until the base date of the financial statements.

The Premium Complementary Provision (PCP), recorded in “Other Provisions”, has as object to maintain the company protected in monthly transactions, keeping the amount of the technical premium provisions (PPNG and PPNG-RVNE) higher or equal to the daily average of the month of calculation.

Pension plan

The mathematical reserves related to pension plans represent the current value of the liabilities in the form of a living income, pension and savings, determined through actuarial calculations and assumptions in the financial regimes of capitalization, allocation of hedge capital and simple allocation, respectively.

Particularly for the pension and insurance plans of the PGBL and VGBL type, the mathematical provision for future benefit payments represents the sum of the premiums and contributions transferred by the participants, net of the loading rate, plus the financial income earned from the investments of the resources. This provision refers to participants whose perception of the benefits has not yet started and Mathematics Provision of benefits refers to those already in enjoyment of benefits.

The provisions for a deficiency in contributions and in premiums are formed to meet the possible adverse changes in the technical risks made in the mathematical provisions of benefits to be granted, resulting from the trend for a higher survival rate of participants and the calculation is made using the Mitigated AT 2000 Male/Female mortality table and related assumptions, considering all the plans sold.

The provision for financial fluctuation is formed to account for the potential impacts of unfavorable variations in future rates of funds earmarked for the payment of benefits and redemptions to participants, considering the minimum remuneration guaranteed in existing contracts.

Capitalization

The mathematical reserve for redemption is calculated on the face value of the notes, restated based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep.

The provisions for redemption of overdue and prepaid notes are recorded at the values of the notes with finalized and rescinded capitalization periods, restated in the period between the date of the right to redemption and effective settlement.

The amounts earmarked for the formation of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes are calculated on the face value of the notes, based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep, and the write-off of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes is recorded at the amount equivalent to the lapsed risk, i.e., the balance of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes represents the deferred amounts of draws for prizes not yet made.

The provision for draws for prizes payable is formed at the amounts of the notes payable from draws for prizes, restated for the period between the date of the draw and the effective payment.

m) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Legal Obligations

The recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and legal obligations are made in accordance with the criteria defined in CVM Resolution 3823/2009 (Note 30).

Contingent assets are only recognized in the financial statements upon the existence of evidence guaranteeing their realization usually represented by the final judgment of the lawsuit and by the confirmation of the capacity for its recovery by receipt or offsetting by another receivable.

Contingent liabilities are recognized in the financial statements when, based on the opinion of legal advisor and Management, the risk of loss of legal or administrative proceedings is considered probable, with a probable outflow of financial resource for the settlement of obligation and when the amounts involved are measurable with sufficient assurance, and judicial figures when reporting monthly and revised as follows:

Aggregated – cases that are similar and recurring in nature and whose values are not considered relevant. Provisions are based on statistical data for groups of cases, type of judicial body (Special Civil Court or Common Court) and plaintiff. For labor claims and civil claims related to economic plans, provisions are based on the average payments for cases closed in the last 24 and 12 months respectively; and

Individual – cases considered unusual or whose value is considered relevant by our legal counsel. Provisions are based on: the amount claimed; probability of an unfavorable decision; evidence presented; evaluation of legal precedents; other facts raised during the process; judicial decisions made during the course of the case; and the classification and the risk of loss of legal actions.

Contingent liabilities considered as possible losses are not recognized in the balance sheet and only need to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, while those classified as remote do not require provisioning or disclosure.

Legal obligations (tax and social security) originate from tax obligations established in the legislation, and, regardless of the probability of success of lawsuits in progress, the amounts are recognized in full in the financial statements.

4 – Information by segment

The information by segment was prepared according to Brazilian accounting practices and was compiled with a basis on the reports used by Management in the appraisal of the segment’s performance, decision making regarding the allocation of funds for investment and other purposes, considering the regulatory environment and the similarities between goods and services.

The operations of Banco do Brasil are basically divided into five segments: banking, investments, fund management, insurance (insurance, pension and capitalization) and payment methods. In addition to the specific segments, Banco do Brasil also participates in other economic activities, such as leasing and Operating Support, that were aggregated in the column called “Other”.

Intersegment transactions are conducted under normal market conditions, substantially under the terms and conditions for comparable transactions, including interest rates and collateral. These transactions do not involve abnormal payment risks.

d) Derivative financial instruments

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments to manage, at the consolidated level, its positions and to meet clients’ needs, classifying its own positions as either Hedge (market risk) or Trading, both with limits of approval. This information is made available to the departments responsible for pricing, trading, controls and calculation of results, which are separate departments and within the Bank.

In the options market, asset or long positions have the Bank as holder, while liability or short positions have the Bank as writer.

The models used to manage risks with derivatives are reviewed periodically and decisions are made in accordance with the best risk/return ratio, estimating possible losses based on the analysis of macroeconomic scenarios.

The Bank uses appropriate tools and systems to manage the derivatives. Trading in new derivatives, whether standardized or not, is subject to a formal risk analysis prior to any transaction.

The hedge strategy of the equity positions is in line with the macroeconomic analyses and is approved by the Executive Board of Directors.

Risk analysis of the subsidiaries is undertaken on an individual basis and its management is undertaken at the consolidated level. The Bank uses statistical methods and simulations to measure the risks of its positions, including derivatives, using value at risk, sensitivity and stress analysis models.

Risks

The main risks inherent to derivative financial instruments resulting from the business dealings of the bank and its subsidiaries are credit, market and operating risks.

Credit risk is reflected by the exposure to losses in the event of default by a counterparty to fulfill its part in the operation. Exposure to credit risk in futures contracts is minimized due to daily settlement in cash. The swap contracts, recorded in Cetip are subject to credit risk if the counterparty is not able or willing to perform its contractual obligations, while the swap contracts registered in the BM & F are not subject to the same risk, given that the Bank operations in Brazil that have the same bag as guarantor.

Total credit exposure in swaps at March 31, 2010 is R$ 778,775 thousand (R$ 1,664,115 thousand at December 31, 2009 and R$ 1,243,764 at March 31, 2009).

Market risk is the possibility of losses caused by changes in the behavior of interest rates and exchange rates, stock prices and commodities.

Market liquidity risk is the possibility of loss resulting from the inability to perform a transaction within a reasonable time and without significant loss of value due to the size of the transaction in the volume usually negotiated.

The operating risk is the probability of financial losses resulting from failures or inadequacy of people, processes and / or systems, or factors such as catastrophes or criminal activities.

c) Lawsuit: Interest on Own Capital Tax Benefit

c.1) In February 1998, the Bank filed a request for full offsetting of accumulated income tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution against taxable income. Since then, the Bank has been fully offsetting tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution against income tax and social contribution and has made judicial deposits in the full amount due (70% of the amount offset). These deposits prompted the Federal District 16th Court to issue an order recognizing the suspension of chargeability of these taxes until final judgment of the Bank’s request, based on article 151, item II, of the Tax Code. Since 10.1.2002, the proceedings have been awaiting hearing of an extraordinary appeal by the Federal Supreme Court.

c.2) The offsetting of tax loss carry forward and recoverable CSLL has resulted in the write-off of deferred tax credits, observing the limitation of 30%.

c.3) In compliance with the prohibition contained in CMN Resolution 3,535/2008, succeeded by CMN Resolution No. 3,823/2009, judicial deposits of the amount of R$ 11,909,926 thousand (principal plus interest) were not deducted from the corresponding provisions, with a negative impact on the Basel Index.

c.4) Deferred taxes (including corporate income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution on net income (CSLL)) on the restatement of judicial deposits are being offset with the tax credits resulting from the provision related to that judicial deposit, in conformity with paragraph 1, item II, article 1 of CMN Resolution 3,059/2002, with no impact on income.

c.5) The hypothesis of a successful outcome to its lawsuit, we verified that in September 2005 and January 2009 the Bank would have consumed the entire stock of tax loss carry forward and recoverable social contribution, respectively, Therefore, since the accrual period of October 2005 and February 2009, the amount of Income Tax and Social Contribution are being paid in full.

Additionally, there would be the transfer of funds from the account used to record judicial deposits to cash and cash equivalents, The tax credits related to judicial deposits (principal) would be written off against the provision for IRPJ and CSLL and the provision for tax risks related to the restatement of deposits, in the amount of R$ 3,529,381 thousand.

c.6) If the Bank were unsuccessful in its lawsuit the amounts deposited judicially would be converted into income in favor of the National Treasury. The portions of IRPJ tax credits on tax loss carry forward that could be used since the accrual period of October 2005 and February 2009, observing the limitation of 30%, would be reclassified to the account representing “recoverable IRPJ” and “recoverable CSLL” assets. The recoverable IRPJ and CSLL that would result from the adjustments to the Economic-Tax Information Returns for Corporate Entities, corresponds to R$ 2,935,499 thousand as of March 31, 2010 and its restatement using the Selic rate corresponds to R$ 392,348 thousand. This sum adjusts the provision for tax risks with respect to the updating of court deposits (see item 24c.5) so that it will be sufficient to fully cancel the risk of a likely loss.

c.7) The amounts related to this matter are as follows:

 

               R$ Thousand
      03.31.2010    12.31.2009    03.31.2009

d) Judicial Proceeding: PIS/PASEP and COFINS

Banco do Brasil and BB Corretora (wholly-owned subsidiary) have a favorable sentence in a Writ of Mandamus, without res judicata, granting them the right to withhold PIS/PASEP and COFINS according to the calculation basis provided for in Complementary Laws no. 7, of September 07, 1970, and no. 70, of December 30, 1991. The application thereof, as from March 2010, resulted in a reduction of disbursement of such taxes in the amount of R$ 79,857 thousand, being such amount provided for according to CVM Resolution no. 489, of October 03, 2005, item 10, and use of tax credits in order to cancel the tax effects upon corporate income.

Considering that some financial institutions have been going to court with individual lawsuits challenging the increase of the rate of CSLL and that the National Confederation of the Financial System - Consif filed a Direct Unconstitutionality Lawsuit - ADIN, the Banco do Brasil has been recognizing tax credits in a sum sufficient to annul, exclusively, the impact on income resulting from the increase of the rate (6%) on the CSLL tax liabilities (current and deferred). Banco do Brasil performed an assessment of the arguments employed by ADIN, concluding on the remote likelihood of success by Consif, for which reason the Bank posted an additional sum of CSLL tax credits in order to complete the increased 15% tax rate, totaling R$ 1,213,177 thousand.

The realization of face values of recorded tax credits, considering the re-composition of those written off over the course of the lawsuit (70%), based on a technical study carried out by the Banco do Brasil (as of 12.31.2009), is projected for 5,5 years, in the following proportions:

 

                       R$ Thousand  
     
     Banco do Brasil     BB-Consolidated  
      Tax loss /CSLL
recoverable (1)
    Intertemporal Differences (2)     Tax loss /CSLL
recoverable (1)
    Intertemporal Differences (2)  
In 2010    39   14   34   16
In 2011    24   17   23   16
In 2012    29   20   27   20
In 2013    8   24   7   23
In 2014         22   1   21
From 2015         3   8   4
        

(1) Projection of consumption associated with the capacity to generate taxable bases of IRPJ and CSLL in subsequent periods,

(2) The consumption capacity results from the changes in the provisions (expectation of reversals, write-offs and uses),

26 – Related-party Transactions

The costs of salaries and other benefits granted to key management personnel of the Banco do Brasil Group (Board of Directors, Executive Directors, Audit Committee and Fiscal Council) are listed as follows:

 

          R$ Thousand
     
      1Q2010    1Q2009
Short-term benefits    7,910    3,715
Benefits for termination of employment       586
Total    7,910    4,301
         
     

Banco do Brasil has no variable remuneration based on shares and other long-term benefits and does not offer post-employment benefits to its key management personnel. The post employment benefits are restricted to the staff of Banco do Brasil.

The balances referring to transactions between the consolidated companies of Banco do Brasil are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. With respect to the majority shareholder, transactions with the National Treasury and with the agencies of the direct administration of the Federal government that maintain banking operations with the Bank, are included.

The Bank has only normal banking transactions with these related parties, such as interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, loans, and sale and repurchases transactions. There are also service provision and guarantee agreements.

These transactions with related parties are conducted under normal market conditions, mainly under the terms and conditions for comparable transactions with unrelated parties, including interest rates and collateral. These transactions do not involve payment risks.

The Bank does not grant loans to its officers or members of its Board of Directors, Audit Committee and Fiscal Council, because this practice is prohibited in all the financial institutions regulated by Banco Central do Brasil.

The funds invested in federal government bonds, and those earmarked for funds and programs for onlending from public institutions are listed in conformity with Note 8 and 17, respectively.

The information related to onlending and other transactions with entities linked to employees are disclosed in Note 27.

Participants hired before April 14, 1967, who were not retired and who were not in a position on that date to request their retirement, included in the contract signed on December 24, 1997 between the Bank and PREVI (Plan n,° 1): the sponsor assumes the commitment for the payment of pensions for this group; mathematical reserves ensuring benefits corresponding to this group are fully paid-up at Previ. The retirement benefit for this group is defined as a defined benefit.

Participants hired between April 15, 1967 and December 23, 1997 (Plan n,°1): Due to the accumulated surplus, in June 2007, the contributions of participants, beneficiaries (retirees and pensioners) and of the sponsor (Banco do Brasil) were suspended, retroactive to January 2007. This measure will be evaluated every twelve months, with its maintenance depending on the existence of the Special Reserve of Benefit Plan 1, resulting from the surplus in the Plan. The suspension continues to be maintained until December 2010.

Participants hired as from December 24, 1997 (Plano Previ Futuro): active participants contribute to PREVI an amount between 7% and 17% of their contribution salary, which varies based on time of service and the amount of the contribution salary. There is no contribution for retired participants, The sponsor contributes an amount equal to the contributions of the participants, limited to 14% of the total contribution payroll of these participants. The retirement benefit for this group is characterized as a defined contribution.

f) Policy for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses

In accordance with CVM Resolution, the actuarial gains or losses to be recognized as income or expenses in a defined benefit plan are the amount of unrecognized gains and losses that exceed, in each period, the higher of the following limits:

- 10% of the present value of the total actuarial liability of the defined benefit; or

- 10% of the fair value of the plan’s assets.

f.1) The Bank, as permitted by Resolution, adopted the procedure of recognizing the fastest gains / losses for the very year in which he conducted the actuarial calculation.

f.2) CASSI Actuarial Liability: the actuarial losses related to this liability are recognized over the average remaining working time estimated for the employees participating in the plan (15,9 years as of 12.31.2007 and 16,85 as of 12.31.2008).

f.3) As permitted by CVM Resolution, the Bank will verify, when recognizing actuarial gains, if there is an amount of actuarial losses not recognized, above the bracket, in other post-employment plans, Should this amount exist, the value to be amortized in the Bank’s results will be the higher between a) the amount of actuarial losses not recognized above the bracket up to the value of the actuarial gain recognized in another plan, and b) the actuarial loss determined according to that described in the previous items.

h) Contributive Proportion - sponsors’ right - CGPC Resolution no. 26/2008

Resolution CVM 371/2000 and succeeded by CVM 600/2009, determines the recording of a liability when the sum of obligations exceeds the amount of assets from the benefit plan, and of an asset, when the sum of assets exceeds the amount of obligations of the plan. In the latter circumstance, the asset should only be recorded when there is evidence that it may effectively reduce the sponsor’s contributions or that it will be reimbursable in the future, as established in aforesaid Resolution.

In the latter circumstance, the asset should only be recorded when there is evidence that it may effectively reduce the sponsor’s contributions or that it will be reimbursable in the future, as established in aforesaid Resolution. According to this Resolution, the surplus should be assigned to the sponsors and participants in proportion to the contributions made.

Resolution CGPC 26 served to throw light on issues related to the interpretation of the right of sponsors and of participants to the surplus resources originating from the contributions (and their yields) of both parties. According to that Resolution, the surplus should be assigned to the sponsors and participants in proportion to the contributions made.

Certain trade associations and other associations filed lawsuits challenging the legality of CGCP Resolution 26, In some of them the request for a preliminary injunction to suspend the effects of aforesaid resolution was refused, while in others the request was granted, Bank management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, understands that CGCP Resolution 26 is of a legitimate nature, and that the Judiciary will conciliate the understanding with respect to the right and form of division of the surplus as defined in the abovementioned resolution.

In view of the various lawsuits filed in relation to CGPC Resolution 26, Banco do Brasil understands that although this norm has thrown light on some issues previously under discussion, especially as regards the amounts to be assigned to the sponsors and participants in the event of existence of a surplus in the supplementary pension entities, this Resolution does not change the definitions existing in the current

regulations and, therefore, does not have effects on the need for records of the actuarial assets and liabilities required by public institutions.

As regards the actuarial losses of the Health Care Plan, these are part of the sum that the Bank is required to record in its liabilities, corresponding to the future contributions of all the employees according to the stage of their retirement. The accrual basis requires that these expenses are recorded while the employees are still active, even if the payments are made monthly, in the future, The Bank has already been appropriating these losses, also in the form of CVM Resolution 600/2009, since 2001, as described in note 28 to its balance sheet of 06.30.2008, Since the aforementioned Resolution enables quicker recognition of these losses, the Bank opted to do it in this manner.

Tax Lawsuits

The Bank is subject to a number of challenges by the tax authorities with respect to taxes, which can give rise to assessments regarding the jurisdiction where taxes are incurred or the sum of taxable income or deductible expenses, Most of the lawsuits originating from tax assessment notices are related to ISSQN (service tax), CPMF, CSLL, IRPJ and IOF, and, some are guaranteed by cash or real estate properties.

Civil Lawsuits

The most significant lawsuits classified as probable losses are those aimed at the collection of the difference between the actual rates of inflation suffered and the rate used for inflation correction of financial investments during the period of the various economic Plans (Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan).

The changes in the provision for civil, tax and labor claims classified as probable were as follows:

31 – Risk Management and Regulatory Capital

a) Risk Management Process

Banco do Brasil considers the management of risks and of capital the main vectors for the decision-making process.

In the Banco do Brasil, collegiate risk management is performed completely apart from the business units. Risk and concentration policies are specified by the Bank’s Board of Directors and by the Global Risk Committee (CRG), which is a discussion group composed by the President and by Vice-Presidents. Actions for implementing and monitoring guidelines issued by the CRG are directed at specific sub-committees (Credit, Market, and Operations), which are groups formed by Directors.

To find out more about the risk management process at Banco do Brasil, access the website bb.com.br/ri.

b) Credit Risk

Credit Risk is associated with the possibility of loss resulting from uncertainty regarding the receipt of amounts agreed on with borrowers, counterparts of contracts or issues of securities.

For alignment with the best practices of credit risk management and to increase efficiency in the management of its economic capital, Banco do Brasil uses risk and return metrics as instruments for dissemination of the culture at the Institution, present throughout its loan process.

c) Market Risk

Market Risk reflects the possibility of loss that can be caused by changes in the behavior of interest and exchange rates and of prices of shares and commodities.

Financial Instruments

Short-term interbank investments: The market value was obtained by future cash flows discount, adopting interest rates exercised by the market in similar operations in the balance sheet date.

Securities: Securities and derivative financial instruments are accounted for by the market value, as provided for in BACEN Circular 3068 of 11.08.2001, excluding from such criterion, securities held to maturity. Determination of securities’ market value, including those held to maturity, is obtained according to rates collected at the market.

Loan operations: Operations remunerated at fixed rates have been estimated through future cash flow discount, adopting for such, interest rates utilized by the Bank for contracting of similar operations in the balance sheet date. For operations of such group remunerated at variable rates, it was considered as market value the book value itself due to equivalence among them.

Interbank deposits: The market value has been calculated through discount of the difference between future cash flows and rates currently applicable in the fixed operations market. In case of variable operations which maturities did not exceed 30 days, the book value was deemed to be approximately equivalent to the market value.

Time deposits: The same criteria adopted for interbank deposits are utilized in the determination of the market value.

Deposits received under security repurchase agreements: For operations at fixed rates, the market value was determined calculating the discount of the estimated cash flows adopting a discount rate equivalent to the rates applicable in contracting of similar operations in the last market day. For variable operations, book values have been deemed approximately equivalent to market value.

Borrowing and onlendings: Said operations are exclusive to the Bank, without similarity in the market. In face of their specific characteristics, exclusive rates for each fund entered, inexistence of an active market and similar instrument, the market values of such operations are equivalent to the book value.

Other liabilities: Market values have been determined by means of the discounted cash flow, which takes into account interest rates offered in the market for obligations which maturities, risks and terms are similar.

Other financial instruments: Included or not in the balance sheet, book values are approximately equivalent to their correspondent market value.

Derivatives: According to BACEN Circular 3082, of 1.30.2002, derivatives are recorded at market value. Determination of derivatives’ market value is estimated in accordance with an internal pricing model, with the use of the rates disclosed for transactions with similar terms and indices on the fiscal years’ last business day.

Sensitivity Analysis (CVM Instruction no. 475/2008)

In line with best market practices, Banco do Brasil manages its risks in a dynamic manner, seeking to detect, assess, monitor, and control market risk exposures in its own positions. To this end, the Bank takes into account the risk limits defined by the Strategic Committees and likely scenarios, to act in a timely manner in reversing any occasional adverse results.

In accordance with CMN Resolution no 3464/2007 and with Bacen Circular no. 3354/2007, and in an effort to manage more efficiently its transactions exposed to market risks, Banco do Brasil separates its transactions as follows:

1) Trading Book: consisting in all the transactions in its own position undertaken as business deals or intended as a hedge for its trading portfolio, for which there is an intention of trading prior to their contractual expiry, subject to normal market conditions and that do not have a non-trading clause.

2) Banking Book: consisting in transactions not classified in the Trading Book and the key feature of which is the intention of keeping these transactions until expiry.

The sensitivity analysis for all the operations with assets and liabilities of the balance sheet, in compliance with CVM Instruction n.º 475/2008, of 12.17.2008, does not adequately reflect the management of market risks adopted by the Institution, and does not represent the Bank’s accounting practices.

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s capital to the reflexes of market trends, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome for the Bank. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario I: Likely situation, which reflects the perception of senior management of the Bank, the scenario most likely to occur for a 3-month horizon, considering macroeconomic factors and market information (BM & F Bovespa, Andima etc.). Assumptions used: real exchange rate / dollar rate of R$ 1.75 and maintaining the Selic rate of 9.75% per year of interest based on market conditions observed on 03.31.2010.

Scenario II: Situation possible. Assumptions used: parallel shock of 25% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 03.31.20010 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

Scenario III: Situation possible. Assumptions used: parallel shock of 50% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 03.31.2010 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

In the table below may be seen a summary of the Trading Portfolio profit figures (Trading), which included public and private securities, derivatives financial instrument and funding based on transactions subject to repurchase agreements showing the values observed in 03.31.2010 and 03.31.2009:

In the case of transactions classified in the Banking Book, appreciations or depreciations resulting from changes in interest rates practiced in the market do not imply in a significant financial and bookkeeping impact on the Bank’s income. This is so because this portfolio is composed chiefly of loan operations (consumer credit, agribusiness, working capital, etc.); retail funding (demand, time, and savings deposits), and securities, which are recorded in the books according to the agreed on rates when contracting these operations. In addition, it should be pointed out that these portfolios have as their key feature the intention of helding the respective positions to maturity, and hence they are not subject to the effects of fluctuating interest rates, or the fact that such transactions are naturally related to other transactions (natural hedge), hence minimizing the reflexes of a stress scenario.

In the tables below may be seen a summary of the Trading Portfolio (Trading) and Non Trading (Banking), except from Banco Votorantim, with values observed in 03.31.2010 and 03.31.2009:

The scenarios used for preparing the framework of sensitivity analysis must necessarily use situations of deterioration of at least 25% and 50% for variable risk for isolation, as determined by CVM Instruction No. 475/2008. Therefore, the analysis of the results is impaired. For example, simultaneous shocks of increase in the rate of advance and reduction in interest coupon of TR are not consistent from a macroeconomic.

In particular with regard to derivative transactions found in the Banking Book, these do not represent a relevant market risk to Banco do Brasil, as these positions originated mainly to fulfill the following situations:

- Change of the indexation of funding and lending transactions performed to meet customer needs;

- Market risk hedge with purpose and efficacy as described in Note 8.d. Also in this transaction, the interest and exchange rate variations have no effects on the Bank’s income.

The Banco do Brasil did not enter into any transaction likely to be classified as an exotic derivative, as described in CVM Instruction no. 475 - Attachment II.

Participation in Banco Votorantim

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s participation in Banco Votorantim, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario I: Situation likely, which reflects the perception of top management of Banco Votorantim in the scenario most likely to occur. Assumptions used: real exchange rate / dollar from R$ 1.80 and the Selic rate of interest 11.25% per year.

Scenario II: Assumptions used: parallel shock of 25.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 03.31.2010 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and thus ignoring the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

Scenario III: Assumptions used: parallel shock of 50.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 03.31.2010 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

In the table below are the results for the positions of the Bank for its participation in Banco Votorantim, with values from 03.31.2010 and 12.31.2009:

d) Liquidity Risk - this type of risk takes two forms: market liquidity risk and cash flow liquidity risk (funding). The first is the possibility of loss resulting from the incapacity to perform a transaction in a reasonable period of time and without significant loss of value. The second is associated with the possibility of a shortage of funds to honor commitments assumed on account of the mismatching between assets and liabilities.

e) Operating Risk - reflects the possibility of loss resulting from faults, deficiencies, or the inadequacy of internal processes, personnel and systems, or external events. This concept includes legal risks.

i) Financial Holding Company

On 04.13.2010, the North-American Central Bank - FED (Federal Reserve System) granted Banco do Brasil the status of “Financial Holding Company”. The Bank was accorded this status after a minute analysis of major factors determined by the US banking legislation, among which is the Bank’s capitalization level and the quality of its management.

This qualification will make it possible for Banco do Brasil, if it is in its interest, to perform banking activities in the US territory, either by itself or through its subsidiaries, under the same conditions as US banks.

j) Acquisition of Banco Patagonia S.A

On 04.21.2010, Banco do Brasil and the controllers of Banco Patagonia S.A., entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement for acquisition, by Banco do Brasil, of Banco Patagonia’s shareholding control.

The price stipulated for the acquisition of the 366,825,016 shares is of US$ 479,660 million, resulting in a value of US$ 1.3076 per share.

This transaction is subject to approval of the regulatory bodies in Brazil and Argentina, as well as of shareholders of Banco do Brasil called in a General Meeting, in the terms of article 256, of the Corporation Law.

k) Increase of the participation - Cielo and CBSS

On April 23, 2010, Banco do Brasil, together with its fully-owned subsidiary BB Banco de Investimento S.A. submitted proposals to Grupo Santander Espanha referring to the acquisition of a portion of the shares held by this group in Companhia Brasileira de Soluções e Serviços – CBSS (Visa Vale), representing 4.655% of the company’s capital; and in Cielo S.A. (“Cielo”), representing 5.11% of this company’s capital. The proposals were accepted by Santander Group on 04.23.2010, being the effective purchase and sale operation subject to compliance of legal and regulatory formalities.

If the operation is concluded, the interest of BB Banco de Investimentos in Cielo will increase from 23.54% to 28.65%, and in CBSS from 40.35% to 45.0%, reinforcing the shareholding interest of Conglomerate Banco do Brasil in the capital of the companies operating in the card market.

Independent auditors’ opinion

To

The Board of Directors, Stockholders and Management

Banco do Brasil S.A.

Brasília - DF

 

1. We have examined the balance sheets of Banco do Brasil S.A. (Banco do Brasil) and the consolidated balance sheets of Banco do Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries (BB – Consolidated) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and changes in cash flows and in added value for the years then ended, which are the responsibility of its management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements. The financial statements of the indirect investments, Brasilcap Capitalização S.A., Brasilsaúde Companhia de Seguros, Brasilveículos Companhia de Seguros, Brasilprev Seguros e Previdência S.A., Cielo S.A., Neoenergia S.A. (Notes 4 and 14), were examined by other independent auditors. Thus, our opinion on the balances of the investments aforementioned and of the respective income arising from the application of the equity pick-up method, which totaled R$1,865 million (R$1,773 as of December 31, 2008) and R$840 (R$981 million as of December 31, 2008), respectively, are based on the reports issued by those independent auditors. Additionally, the net assets used in the calculation of the Retirement and Pension Plan (Note 28.a), were examined by other independent auditors and our evaluation, with respect to these net assets, is based on the report issued by those independent auditors.

 

2. Our examination was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Brazil and included: (a) planning of the audit work, considering the materiality of the balances, the volume of transactions and the accounting systems and internal accounting controls of the Bank and its subsidiaries; (b) verification, on a test basis, of the evidence and records which support the amounts and accounting information disclosed; and (c) evaluation of the most significant accounting policies and estimates adopted by Management of the Bank and its subsidiaries, as well as the presentation of the financial statements taken as a whole.

3. In our opinion, based on our examination and on the reports of other independent auditors, pursuant to the aforementioned in paragraph one, the financial statements aforementioned represent fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banco do Brasil S.A. (Banco do Brasil) and Banco do Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries (BB-Consolidated) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and changes in cash flows and the added value in their operations for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

 

4. The Bank has recorded in its assets, as of December 31, 2009, the amount of R$12,655 million (R$7,794 as of December 31, 2008) corresponding to the surplus of PREVI – Employee Benefits (Note 28.a), which was determined based on criteria established by the Bank’s Management, which are considered adequate in the circumstance. These criteria incorporate long-term estimates and assumptions of actuarial and financial nature, as well as the fulfillment of the requirements established in the regulations in force. Therefore, the inaccuracies inherent to the process of using estimates and assumptions may result in differences between the amount recorded and the amount effectively realized.

Banco do Brasil S.A.

Notes to Financial Statements

  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

 

1 – The Bank and its Operations

Banco do Brasil S.A. is a publicly listed company established under private law with both public and private stockholders. It is subject to the requirements of Brazilian corporate legislation. Its purpose is to carry out all asset, liability and accessory banking operations, to provide banking services, to intermediate and originate financial transactions in various forms, including foreign exchange transactions and supplementary activities, with an emphasis on insurance, private pension, capitalization, securities brokerage, administration of credit/debit cards, consortiums, investment funds and management portfolios, and to practice any activities permitted for the institutions that are part of the National Finance System. It is also the main financial agent of the Brazilian Federal Government and is therefore required to carry out the functions attributed to it by law, specifically those of Article 19 of Law 4595/1964.

2 – Presentation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting guidelines derived from Brazilian corporation law, the rules and instructions issued by the Conselho Monetário Nacional (CMN), Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), the Superintendency of Private Insurance (Susep), and the National Health Agency (ANS).

Accounting Practices adopted in Brazil (BRGAAP) requiry that Management use its judgment in determining and recording accounting estimates, when applicable. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value of property, plant and equipment, the allowance for doubtful loans and deferred income tax recorded in assets, the provision for contingencies, the appreciation of derivative financial instruments, and the assets and liabilities relating to benefits for employees. The final amounts for transactions involving these estimates are only known upon their settlement.

They include operations of Banco do Brasil S.A. in Brazil and abroad (Banco do Brasil), and financial and non-financial subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad, special purpose entities, including the Investment Funds in which the Bank controls directly or indirectly, pursuant to CVM Instruction No. 408/2004, and investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, in accordance with BACEN requirements (BB-Consolidated). See details of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements in Note 4.

Notes to Financial Statements

  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

 

For purposes of comparability of financial statements was made in the BB-Consolidated, on 31.12.2008, the reclassification from R$ 557.603 thousand of the grouping of intangible investment due to the goodwill arising on acquisition of investments.

Authorization for conclusion of these financial statements was given by the Executive Board of Directors, on February 23, 2010.

3 – Summary of main accounting practices

a) Statements of income

Income and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Transactions with fixed rates are recorded at their redemption value and deferred income and expenses are recorded as a discount to the corresponding assets or liabilities. Variable or foreign-currency-indexed transactions are adjusted to the balance sheet date based on agreed contractual indices.

b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by available funds in local currency, foreign currency, investments in gold, short-term investments with high liquidity and insignificant risk of change in value and limits, with maturity equal to or less than 90 days and do not include short-term interbank investments –financed position (Note 6).

c) Short-term interbank investments

Short-term interbank investments are recorded at their investment or acquisition amount, plus income accrued up to the balance sheet date and adjustment to allowance for losses when applied.

d) Securities

The securities purchased for the Bank’s portfolio are recorded at the actual amount paid, including brokerage charges and fees, and are classified in three separate categories according to management’s intentions, According to Bacen 3.068/2001:

Trading Securities: these are securities purchased to be actively and frequently traded. They are adjusted monthly to market value. The increases and decreases in their value are recorded, respectively, in income and expense accounts for the period;

Securities available for sale: these are securities purchased to be traded at any time. They are adjusted monthly to market value. The increases and decreases in their value are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate stockholders’ equity account (mark-to-market adjustment).

Securities held to maturity: these are securities that the Bank intends and has the financial ability to hold to maturity. These securities are not adjusted to market value but are held at cost plus accumulated interest. The financial capacity is supported by a cash flow projection that does not consider the possibility of sale of these securities.

The mark-to-market methodology used for securities was established following consistent, verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the day of calculation or, if not available, the daily adjustment of future market transactions reported by Anbima, BM&FBovespa or the net expected realizable value obtained through the use of future interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and price and currency index charged in the settlement.

  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

 

Income accrued on the securities, irrespective of the category in which they are classified, is appropriated on a daily pro-rata basis on the accrual basis of accounting until the date of maturity or final sale, according to the exponential or straight-line method, based on the contractual remuneration and purchase price, and recorded directly in the statement of income for the period.

Losses with securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity, if considered not to be temporary, are recorded directly in expenses for the period and a new cost basis for the asset is determined.

Upon sale, the difference between the sale amount and the cost of acquisition plus accrued income is recorded as a gain or loss on securities on the date of the transaction.

e) Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at market value at each monthly trial balance and balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in value are recorded in income or expense accounts of the respective financial instruments.

The mark-to-market methodology used for derivative financial instruments was established following consistent, verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the date of calculation or, if not available, pricing models that estimate the expected net realizable value, according to the characteristics of the derivatives.

Derivative financial instruments used to offset, in whole or in part, the risks arising from exposure to variations in market values of financial assets or liabilities or future cash flows are considered hedge instruments and are classified according to their nature:

Market Risk Hedge - the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments, as well as of the hedged item, are recorded in income accounts in the statement of income for the period;

Cash Flow Hedge - the effective portion of the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments classified in this category are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate Stockholders’ Equity account. The effective portion is that where the variation in the hedged item, directly related to the corresponding risk, is offset by the variation in the derivative financial instrument used as the hedge, considering the accumulated effect of the transaction. Other variations in these instruments are recorded directly in income for the period.

f) Loans, lease operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables with loan characteristics and allowance for loan losses

Loans, leases, advances on foreign exchange contracts and other receivables with loan characteristics are classified according to Management’s judgment with respect to the level of risk, taking into consideration market conditions, past experience and specific risks in relation to the operation, to borrowers and guarantors, observing the parameters established by CMN Resolution 2682/1999, which requires periodic analyses of the portfolio and its classification into nine levels, ranging from AA (minimum risk) to H (maximum risk), as well as the classification of operations more than 15 days overdue as non-performing.

Income from loans overdue for more than 60 days, regardless of their risk level, will only be recognized as income when effectively received.

Operations classified at level H, which remain in this classification for 180 days, are written off against the existing provision and monitored for five years in memorandum accounts, but do not appear in the balance sheet.

Renegotiated operations are maintained, at a minimum, at the same level at which they were rated. The renegotiations of loans already written off against the allowance are rated as H and any gains from renegotiation are only recognized as income when effectively received.

The allowance for loan losses is considered sufficient by management wich satisfies the minimum requirements established by CMN Resolution 2682/1999 (Note 10.f).

g) Income and Social Contribution Taxes

Income tax is calculated at the basic rate of 15% plus a surcharge of 10%. As of May 1, 2008, Social Contribution is being calculated at the rate of 15% for financial and insurance companies and 9% for other companies. (Up to April 30, 2008 the rate was 9% for all companies).

Tax credits are recorded by applying the current tax rates to the difference between their respective fiscal and accounting bases. The Bank follows the criteria for recording, maintaining, and writing off the tax credits as established by CMN Resolution 3059/2002, and amended by CMN Resolution 3355/2006, and they are supported by a study of their capacity for realization.

The deferred tax liabilities are made by applying the current rates of taxes on their respective bases.

h) Prepaid Expenses

Refer to the application of funds in payments made in advance, and the benefits will be felt or the services will be rendered in subsequent periods.

i) Permanent assets

Investments – The investments in subsidiaries and associated companies with significant influence or with participation of 20% or more voting shares in other companies and which are part of a group or are under common control are evaluated by the equity method based on the value of the equity related or controlled in accordance with the instructions and rules of the Central Bank and the CVM.

The statements of the branches and subsidiaries abroad are adapted to the prevailing accounting criteria in Brazil and translated into Brazilian Reais using current exchange rates, in conformity with BACEN Circulars 2397, of December 29,1993 and 2571, of May 17,1995, and their impacts are recorded in the statement of income for the period. Other permanent investments are stated at cost, restated for inflation up to December 31, 1995, and, if necessary, are adjusted to market value through the formation of a provision, according to the current rules.

Property and equipment – Property and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation, calculated using the straight-line method at the following annual rates: buildings and improvements - 4%; vehicles - 20%; others - 10%.(Note 15)

Deferred – Deferred assets are recorded at cost of acquisition or formation, net of accrued amortizations. They are composed mainly of expenditures with restructuring and leasehold improvements as a result of opening branches, which are amortized according to rates based on rental terms, as well as expenditures on the acquisition and development of information systems, which are amortized at 20% p.a.

Intangible – Intangible Assets consist of rights that have as their object intangible assets intended for the maintenance of the company or that are exercised for that purpose, including goodwill acquired. An asset meets the criteria for identification as an intangible asset, in accordance with CMN Resolution 3642/2008, when it is inseparable, i.e. it can be separated from the entity and sold, transferred or licensed, rented or exchanged, individually or jointly with a contract, related assets or liabilities, regardless of the intention for use by the entity; or results from contractual rights or other legal rights, regardless of whether these rights are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations.

The carrying value of intangible assets with definite useful life subject to amortization refers to the amounts disbursed for acquisition of rights for providing banking services (acquisition of payrolls) and acquisition/

development of software (Note 16). The amortization of intangible assets is usually done in a linear method during a period of economic benefit estimated and accounted for in Other Administrative Expenses.

j) Decrease in the recoverable value of non-financial assets – impairment

A loss through impairment is recognized if the carrying value of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable value. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash entries, which are largely independent of the cash entries from other assets or groups of assets. Losses through impairment are recognized in income for the period.

From 2008, the values of non-financial assets, excluding tax credits and other assets, are reviewed at least annually to determine whether there is any indication of loss through impairment.

k) Benefits for employees

Short-term benefits for current employees are recognized on the accrual basis as the services are provided. Post-employment benefits, comprising supplementary retirement benefits, medical assistance and other benefits for which the Bank is responsible, were calculated at December 31, 2009 in accordance with criteria established by CVM Resolution 371/2000 (Note 28.b).

The actuarial asset recognized in the balance sheet (Note 28) refers to the Actuarial gains calculated in accordance with CVM Resolution No 371/2000 and its implementation must occur by the end of the plan. There may be partial completion of actuarial, conditioned upon satisfying the requirements of the Supplementary Law No 109/2001 and Resolution CGPC No 26/2008 of 29.09.2008.

l) Operations related to insurance, pension and capitalization activities

Statement of income

Insurance premiums and selling expenses are recorded upon the issuing of policies or upon billing and are recognized in the statement of income, according to the elapsed period of coverage. Revenues from premiums and the corresponding selling expenses, related to present risks without the issuing of respective policies are recognized in the statement of income at the beginning of the coverage, based on estimates.

Income from insurance premiums covering future risks is deferred over the period of validity of the insurance policies, through the recording of provision for unearned premiums, based on the net withholding of earned premiums issued.

Accepted coinsurance, retrocession and DPVAT (Personal injuries caused by motor vehicles) convention operations are recorded based on information received from similar companies, IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. and the Seguradora Lider, respectively.

The revenue from pension plans, life insurance plans with living benefits and capitalization plans are recognized in the statement of income when effectively received, as a contra-entry to the recognition of technical provisions, except the revenue to cover risks in cases of combined pension plans, which must be recognized by the duration of the risk, regardless of your receipt. The selling costs are deferred on the issuing of the contract or policy and allocated to results on a straight-line basis, over the average estimated period for their recovery, except the ones related to capitalization.

Other income and expenses are determined according to the accrual basis of accounting.

Technical Provisions

Rules and procedures for the formation of technical provisions are regulated by Resolutions 36/2000, 162/2006, 181/2007 and 195/2008 of the National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP) and Regulatory

Banco do Brasil S.A.

Notes to Financial Statements

Resolution 75/2004 of the National Health Agency (ANS), and calculated in accordance with the specific actuarial technical notes approved by the Superintendency of Private Insurance (SUSEP) and the National Health Agency (ANS).

Insurance

The Provision for Unearned Premiums represents the portions of premiums that will be allocated to income over the course of the insurance policies, as calculated on a daily pro rata basis.

The Provision for Unearned Premiums for Present Risks But Not Yet Issued represents the adjustment for the Provision for Unearned Premiums given the existence of risks assumed by the insurance company where the policy covering the risk has not yet been formally issued, except fot health plan insurance.

The Provision for Premium Deficiency represents the need for coverage of possible deficiencies of the Provision for Unearned Premiums due to the expectations of payment and re-assessment of claims incurred.

The Provision for Unsettled Loss Claims represents the forecast of probable indemnifications, judicial or otherwise, net of recoveries, determined based on notices received up to the balance sheet date, adjusted by the estimate for Claims Incurred But Not Enough Reported (IBNER).

The Provision for Claims Incurred but not Reported_ [IBNR - Incurred But Not Reported and PEONA - Provision for Events Occurred but not Reported (of the health insurance segment)] represents the amount expected of claims incurred but not reported until the base date of the financial statements.

The Premium Complementary Provision (PCP),_recorded in “Other Provisions”, has as object to maintain the company protected in monthly transactions, keeping the amount of the technical premium provisions (PPNG and PPNG-RVNE) higher or equal to the daily average of the month of calculation.

Pension plan

The mathematical reserves related to pension plans represent the current value of the liabilities in the form of a living income, pension and savings, determined through actuarial calculations and assumptions in the financial regimes of capitalization, allocation of hedge capital and simple allocation, respectively.

Particularly for the pension and insurance plans of the PGBL and VGBL type, the mathematical provision for future benefit payments represents the sum of the premiums and contributions transferred by the participants, net of the loading rate, plus the financial income earned from the investments of the resources. This provision refers to participants whose perception of the benefits has not yet started and Mathematics Provision of benefits refers to those already in enjoyment of benefits.

The provisions for a deficiency in contributions and in premiums are formed to meet the possible adverse changes in the technical risks made in the mathematical provisions of benefits to be granted, resulting from the trend for a higher survival rate of participants and the calculation is made using the Mitigated AT 2000 Male/Female mortality table and related assumptions, considering all the plans sold.

The provision for financial fluctuation is formed to account for the potential impacts of unfavorable variations in future rates of funds earmarked for the payment of benefits and redemptions to participants, considering the minimum remuneration guaranteed in existing contracts.

Capitalization

The mathematical reserve for redemption is calculated on the face value of the notes, restated based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep.

Notes to Financial Statements

  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009

 

The provisions for redemption of overdue and prepaid notes are recorded at the values of the notes with finalized and rescinded capitalization periods, restated in the period between the date of the right to redemption and effective settlement.

The amounts earmarked for the formation of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes are calculated on the face value of the notes, based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep, and the write-off of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes is recorded at the amount equivalent to the lapsed risk, i.e., the balance of the provision for unrealized draws for prizes represents the deferred amounts of draws for prizes not yet made.

The provision for draws for prizes payable is formed at the amounts of the notes payable from draws for prizes, restated for the period between the date of the draw and the effective payment.

m) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Legal Obligations

The recognition and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and legal obligations are made in accordance with the criteria defined in CVM Resolution 3535/2008 (Note 31).

Contingent assets are only recognized in the financial statements upon the existence of evidence guaranteeing their realization usually represented by the final judgment of the lawsuit and by the confirmation of the capacity for its recovery by receipt or offsetting by another receivable.

Contingent liabilities are recognized in the financial statements when, based on the opinion of legal advisor and Management, the risk of loss of legal or administrative proceedings is considered probable, with a probable outflow of financial resource fot the settlement of obligation and when the amounts involved are measurable with sufficient assurance, and judicial figures when reporting monthly and revised as follows:

Aggregated – cases that are similar and recurring in nature and whose values are not considered relevant. Provisions are based on statistical data for groups of cases, type of judicial body (Special Civil Court or Common Court) and plaintiff. For labor claims and civil claims related to economic plans, provisions are based on the average payments for cases closed in the last 24 and 12 months respectively; and

Individual – cases considered unusual or whose value is considered relevant by our legal counsel. Provisions are based on: the amount claimed; probability of an unfavorable decision; evidence presented; evaluation of legal precedents; other facts raised during the process; judicial decisions made during the course of the case; and the classification and the risk of loss of legal actions.

Contingent liabilities considered as possible losses are not recognized in the balance sheet and only need to be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, while those classified as remote do not require provisioning or disclosure.

Legal obligations (tax and social security) originate from tax obligations established in the legislation, and, regardless of the probability of success of lawsuits in progress, the amounts are recognized in full in the financial statements.

5 – Acquisition of Banco Nossa Caixa S.A. and Banco Votorantim S.A.

(a) Banco Nossa Caixa S.A.

On December 19, 2008, Banco do Brasil and the State Government of São Paulo entered into a share purchase agreement for acquisition of the share control of Banco Nossa Caixa S.A., through the sale of 76,262,912 common shares, belonging to the State, equivalent to 71.25% of the total capital stock and of the voting capital of Banco do Brasil. The transaction was authorized by the São Paulo State Legislature, under the terms of State Law 13286 of December 18, 2008, and approved by the Special General Shareholders’ Meeting of Banco do Brasil on December 23, 2008.

The price stipulated for the sale was R$ 5,386,496 thousand (R$ 70.63 per share), payable in 18 monthly installments of R$ 299,250 thousand, calculated based on an economic/financial evaluation, considering the prospects of future profitability and the discounted cash flow of Banco Nossa Caixa, in conformity with article 224 of Law 6404/1976.

On March 10, 2009, the Banco Central do Brazil sent correspondence to Banco do Brasil communicating the approval of the transfer of share control from Nossa Caixa to Banco do Brasil.

On March 16, 2009, after fulfilling all the precedent conditions for the closing of the transaction for acquisition of the share control of Banco Nossa Caixa, there was the payment to the Statement Government of São Paulo of the first installment and the transfer of shares to Banco do Brasil, which became its controlling shareholder.

Banco do Brasil already paid 10 installments to the Government of the State of São Paulo, totaling R$ 3,217,414 thousand, leaving 8 installments, with balance due on 12.31.2009 of R$2,657,611 thousand. These values were adjusted to the Selic rate of 11.20.2008 as per the respective terms of the contract. The balance due is recorded in Other Liabilities - Obligations for purchase of goods and rights (Note 20.f).

The initial records of the transaction involved the accounting, in Banco do Brasil, of the amount of the investment and the respective goodwill as per the terms negotiated with the State Government of São Paulo, and in Nossa Caixa, of the amount of the adjustments resulting from the adaptation of accounting criteria and estimates to those adopted by the new controlling shareholder. The amounts of the investment and the goodwill were determined based on the balance sheet of Nossa Caixa as of December 31, 2008, restated until March 31, 2009, by the existing differences in criteria.

On 07.21.2009, the Banco do Brasil published the Notice of Public Offer to acquire up to all the common shares issued by the Banco Nossa Caixa, representing 28.749781953% of the total share capital and voting, not included in the operation of disposal of control.

On 04.09.2009, in accordance with Article 254 of Law No 6404/1976 and Regulation of Bovespa’s New Market, the auction was conducted through electronic trading on the BM & F Bovespa - Bovespa segment, where they were 30,041,404 shares traded, with a total value of R$ 2,304,984 thousand, representing 97.62% of the total held by minority shareholders (30,772,541), ensuring the right to sell their shares at least under the same terms offered to the Government of the State of Sao Paulo. Thus, completion of the Offer, the Banco do Brasil held 106,304,316 shares, representing 99.32% of Banco Nossa Caixa.

On November 30, 2009 the Extraordinary General Meeting approved the merger of Banco Nossa Caixa by Banco do Brasil, as well as the R$ 18,308 thousand capital increase by Banco do Brasil arising from the issue of 1,674,027 common registered shares with no par value, with the rights and entitlements as found in the By-laws. Equity capital rose from R$ 18,548,611 thousand to R$ 18,566,919 thousand, by transferring the merged company’s shareholders’ equity into the merging company. As a natural outcome, Banco Nossa Caixa was extinguished pleno jure as a legal entity, and Banco do Brasil became the universal successor of Banco Nossa Caixa’s rights and obligations.

Pursuant to article 264 in Law 6404/1976, assessments were performed on Banco do Brasil (at fair market value) and on Banco Nossa Caixa (at its economic and financial value by means of a discounted cash flow) in accordance with article 224 of Law 6404/1976. Based on this assessment, Nossa Caixa’s minority shareholders received Banco do Brasil shares at a replacement rate of 2.28873181 common registered shares issued by Banco do Brasil for one common registered share issued by Nossa Caixa.

The right to withdrawal of the minority shareholders of Nossa Caixa does not apply to shares acquired after October 10, 2009, as provided for by art. 137, § 1 of Law 6404/76. Dissident shareholders may only exercise their right to withdraw at the Nossa Caixa share’s book value on June 30, 2009, equal to R$ 25.42 pursuant to Law 6404/1976, article 264, § 3, and article 137, indentation II.

Adjustments included: reinforcement of the provision for loan losses, civil, labor and tax contingencies; and the liabilities with health and pension plans. In addition, tax credits were recorded on temporary differences originating from the adjustments made as well as on tax credits not recorded in prior years.

became the holder of 50.00% of the total capital stock (49.99% of the common shares and 50.01% of the preference shares) and 50% of the total capital stock of BV Participações S.A. The operation cost Banco do Brasil the amount of R$ 4,200,000 thousand, as follows:

 

a) acquisition, by Banco do Brasil, of 33,356,791,198 common shares issued by Banco Votorantim and belonging to Votorantim Finanças for the price of R$ 2,969,789 thousand;

 

b) subscription, by Banco do Brasil, of 7,412,620,277 new preferred shares issued by Banco Votorantim for the price of R$ 1,200,000 thousand;

The payment to Votorantim Finanças was negotiated as follows:

Considering the complexity of the matter and the time that would be required to identify and measure all the existing criteria difference, it was determined that the initial records would be made based on the “bestestimate” possible under the circumstances, and that the definitive records of all differences would be made during a subsequent period of no more than one year, having as a contra entry the adjustment of the initial goodwill of the transaction. The total amount of the goodwill established, presented in the chart below, based on estimates of future results, is accounted under Permanent Assets - Investments and is amortized according to Central Bank Circular No. 1273/1987 (Note 14.c).

d) Derivative financial instruments

The Bank uses derivative financial instruments to manage, at the consolidated level, its positions and to meet clients’ needs, classifying its own positions as either Hedge (market risk) or Trading, both with limits of approval. This information is made available to the departments responsible for pricing, trading, controls and calculation of results, which are separate departments and within the Bank.

In the options market, asset or long positions have the Bank as holder, while liability or short positions have the Bank as writer.

The models used to manage risks with derivatives are reviewed periodically and decisions are made in accordance with the best risk/return ratio, estimating possible losses based on the analysis of macroeconomic scenarios.

The Bank uses appropriate tools and systems to manage the derivatives. Trading in new derivatives, whether standardized or not, is subject to a formal risk analysis prior to any transaction.

The hedge strategy of the equity positions is in line with the macroeconomic analyses and is approved by the Executive Board of Directors.

Risk analysis of the subsidiaries is undertaken on an individual basis and its management is undertaken at the consolidated level. The Bank uses statistical methods and simulations to measure the risks of its positions, including derivatives, using value at risk, sensitivity and stress analysis models.

Risks

The main risks inherent to derivative financial instruments resulting from the business dealings of the bank and its subsidiaries are credit, market and operating risks, all of which are similar to those related to other types of financial instruments.

Credit risk is reflected by the exposure to losses in the event of default by a counterparty to fulfill its part in the operation. Exposure to credit risk in futures contracts is minimized due to daily settlement in cash. The swap contracts, recorded in Cetip are subject to credit risk if the counterparty is not able or willing to perform its contractual obligations, while the swap contracts registered in the BM & F are not subject to the same risk, given that the Bank operations in Brazil that have the same bag as guarantor.

Total credit exposure in swaps at December 31, 2009 is R$ 1,664,115 thousand (R$ 1,543,722 thousand at December 31, 2008).

Market risk is the exposure created by a potential fluctuation in interest rates, exchange rates, quotation of goods, and prices quoted on markets for shares and other securities, and varies according to the type of product, the volume of operations, the term and conditions of the contract and the underlying volatility.

c) Lawsuit: Interest on Own Capital Tax Benefit

c.1) In February 1998, the Bank filed a request for full offsetting of accumulated income tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution against taxable income. Since then, the Bank has been fully offsetting tax loss carry forwards and negative basis of social contribution against income tax and social contribution and has made judicial deposits in the full amount due (70% of the amount offset). These deposits prompted the Federal District 16th Court to issue an order recognizing the suspension of chargebility of these taxes until final judgment of the Bank’s request, based on article 151, item II, of the Tax Code. Since 10.1.2002, the proceedings have been awaiting hearing of an extraordinary appeal by the Federal Supreme Court.

c.2) The offsetting of tax loss carry forward and recoverable CSLL has resulted in the write-off of deferred tax credits, observing the limitation of 30%.

c.3) In compliance with the prohibition contained in CMN Resolution 3535/2008, judicial deposits of the amount of R$ 11,752,804 thousand (principal plus interest) were not deducted from the corresponding provisions in the manner established in item 53 of CVM Resolution 489/2005, with a negative impact on the Basel Index.

c.4) Deferred taxes (including corporate income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution on net income (CSLL)) on the restatement of judicial deposits are being offset with the tax credits resulting from the provision related to that judicial deposit, in conformity with paragraph 1, item II, article 1 of CMN Resolution 3059/2002, with no impact on income.

c.5) The hypothesis of a successful outcome to its lawsuit, we verified that in September 2005 and January 2009 the Bank would have consumed the entire stock of tax loss carry forward and recoverable social contribution, respectively, Therefore, since the accrual period of October 2005 and February 2009, the amount of Income Tax and Social Contribution are being paid in full.

Additionally, there would be the transfer of funds from the account used to record judicial deposits to cash and cash equivalents, The tax credits related to judicial deposits (principal) would be written off against the provision for IRPJ and CSLL and the provision for tax risks related to the restatement of deposits, in the amount of R$ 3,414,002 thousand.

c.6) If the Bank were unsuccessful in its lawsuit the amounts deposited judicially would be converted into income in favor of the National Treasury. The portions of IRPJ tax credits on tax loss carry forward that could be used since the accrual period of October 2005 and February 2009, observing the limitation of 30%, would be reclassified to the account representing “recoverable IRPJ” and “recoverable CSLL” assets. The recoverable IRPJ and CSLL that would result from the adjustments to the Economic-Tax Information Returns for Corporate Entities, corresponds to R$ 2,693,864 thousand as of December 2009 and its restatement using the Selic rate corresponds to R$ 356,231 thousand. This sum adjusts the provision for tax risks with respect to the updating of court deposits (see item 25c.5) so that it will be sufficient to fully cancel the risk of a likely loss.

c.7) The amounts related to this matter are as follows:

 

      R$ Thousand
      12.31.2009    12.31.2008
Judicial Deposits    11,752,804    10,998,898

Income tax losses    3,002,033    3,002,033
Negative basis of CSLL / Recoverable CSLL    3,583,012    3,553,624

The tax credits recorded include Recoverable Social Contribution related to tax credits calculated at the rate of 18% on tax losses and temporary differences existing at December 31, 1998, Article 8 of Provisional Measure (MP) 2158-35/2001 reduced the rate of social contribution from 18% to 8% and authorized the maintenance of this credit classified in Other Receivables – Other.

From January 1, 2003 to April 30, 2008, the rate of CSLL in force was 9%, pursuant to Law 10637/2002. Provisional Measure 413/2008, converted into Law 11727/2008, raised the financial industry’s Social Contribution rate from 9% to 15% as of May 1, 2008, giving rise to an increase in the Social Contribution expenses, as well as in the corresponding tax credits.

Considering that some financial institutions have been going to court with individual lawsuits challenging the increase of the rate of CSLL and that the National Confederation of the Financial System – Consif filed a Direct Unconstitutionality Lawsuit – ADIN, the Multiple Bank has been recognizing tax credits in a sum sufficient to annul, exclusively, the impact on income resulting from the increase of the rate (6%) on the CSLL tax liabilities (current and deferred). Banco do Brasil performed an assessment of the arguments employed by ADIN, concluding on the remote likelihood of success by Consif, for which reason the Bank posted an additional sum of CSLL tax credits in order to complete the increased 15% tax rate, totaling R$ 1,213,177 thousand.

a.1) The funding of the vested and unvested benefits is summarized as follows:

Participants hired before April 14, 1967, who were not retired and who were not in a position on that date to request their retirement, included in the contract signed on December 24, 1997 between the Bank and PREVI (Plan n,° 1): the sponsor assumes the commitment for the payment of pensions for this group; mathematical reserves ensuring benefits corresponding to this group are fully paid-up at Previ. The retirement benefit for this group is defined as a defined benefit.

Participants hired between April 15, 1967 and December 23, 1997 (Plan n,°1): Due to the accumulated surplus, in June 2007, the contributions of participants, beneficiaries (retirees and pensioners) and of the sponsor (Banco do Brasil) were suspended, retroactive to January 2007. This measure will be evaluated every twelve months, with its maintenance depending on the existence of the Special Reserve of Benefit Plan 1, resulting from the surplus in the Plan. The suspension continues to be maintained until December 2009.

Participants hired as from December 24, 1997 (Plano Previ Futuro): active participants contribute to PREVI an amount between 7% and 17% of their contribution salary, which varies based on time of service and the amount of the contribution salary. There is no contribution for retired participants, The sponsor contributes an amount equal to the contributions of the participants, limited to 14% of the total contribution payroll of these participants. The retirement benefit for this group is characterized as a defined contribution.

Multifuturo I, a Defined Contribution Plan (CD) – maintained by Fusesc, set up in June 2002 through the migration of participants from the Defined Benefit Plan. This plan at 09.30.2009 covers 6,170 employees, of which 3,469 are retired, 49 beneficiaries and 2,652 active employees (6.204 employees, of which 3.081 are retired, 46 beneficiaries and 3.077 active employees at 12.31.2008).

The Defined Benefit Plan (BD) – maintained by Fusesc since 1978, structured under a joint contribution plan with other companies, intended for their employees and dependents. This plan at 12.31.2009 covers 1,368 employees, of which 1,000 retired, 365 beneficiaries and 3 active employees. At 12.31.2008 convers 1,373 employees, of which 1,014 retired, 354 beneficiaries e 05 active employees. On December 31, 2009 this plan had an actuarial surplus of R$ 126,799 thousand.

The AT-83 mortality table was used for the actuarial calculation of the Defined Benefit Plan (BD), for the December 31, 2009 base date.

The key assumptions employed in the actuarial appraisal are:

 

Specification    2009    2008
Real interest rate used to discount actuarial obligations to present value    6,3%p.a.    6,3%p.a.
Real rate of return expected from the retirement and pension plans’ assets    6,3%p.a.    6,3%p.a.
Future Nominal Growth of Salaries    2,13%p.a.    2,83%p.a.
Annual Inflation    4,11%p.a.    6,48%p.a.

To determine the present value of liabilities and costs, we used the method of projected unit credit.

During 2009, the contributions made which amounted to R$6,004 thousand.

The normal contribution by the sponsors as of December 2000 was defined as being the sum of the contributions owed by active and assisted participants, in compliance with the contributing parity between the sponsors’ and participants’ normal contributions, as provided for in article 5 of Constitutional Amendment 20/1998.

The calculation system above, based on the assumptions found in CVM Resolution no, 371/2000, are applicable to the treatment afforded by the sponsor in its Financial Statements, with the purpose of confirming the need or absence thereof, of additional provisioning.

During 2009 contributions made by Banco Nossa Caixa to PREVMAIS and to the defined benefit plan totaled R$ 72,995 thousand (R$ 65,902 thousand during 2008), of which R$ 12,603 thousand (R$ 12,165 thousand during 2008) refer to extra contributions intended to cover the technical deficit found.

d.2) Medical Assistance Plans:

Unified health plan – PLUS: participation in this plan takes place by means of a 1,5% (one and one-half percent) contribution of gross salary, without limitation, covering the owner and his/her preferred dependants, deducted from the owner’s payroll and 10% (ten percent) as a co-participation in the price of each medical visit and low-cost exams, made by the owner and his/her dependants (preferred and non-preferred).

Unified Health Plan – PLUS II: participation in this plan takes place by means of a 1,5% (one and one-half percent) contribution of gross salary, without limitation, covering the owner and his/her preferred dependants, deducted from the owner’s payroll and 10% (ten percent) as a co-participation in the price of each medical visit and low-cost exams, made by the owner and his/her preferred dependants and children of age.

A 1,5% contribution will be charged on the benefits of ex-statutory retirees and their pensioners who have opted for the CLT labor system, which according to studies begun and assumptions by the new controller, is insufficient to cover expenses with this group’s medical assistance.

The above-described plans are seeking their sustainability between contributions and expenses incurred, with the exception of retirees and pensioners, who are subject to a 1,5% contribution.

e) CASSI – Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil

The Bank is the sponsor of a Health Plan managed by CASSI – Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil.

A contract was executed between the Bank and CASSI on 11.13.2007 aiming at reformulating the By-laws of Plano de Associados da Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (Plan of Members of the Banco do Brasil Employee Welfare Fund).

On account of this, each month the Bank contributed a sum equivalent to 4.5p. p. of the total payroll or of the total retirement or pension plan benefit, Monthly contributions from members and pension beneficiaries amount to 3% of the total payroll or the total retirement or pension plan benefits.

f) Policy for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses

In accordance with CVM Resolution 371, the actuarial gains or losses to be recognized as income or expenses in a defined benefit plan are the amount of unrecognized gains and losses that exceed, in each period, the higher of the following limits:

- 10% of the present value of the total actuarial liability of the defined benefit; or

- 10% of the fair value of the plan’s assets.

f.1) The Bank, as permitted by paragraph 55 of Resolution No. 371/00, adopted the procedure of recognizing the fastest gains / losses for the very year in which he conducted the actuarial calculation.

f.2) CASSI Actuarial Liability: the actuarial losses related to this liability are recognized over the average remaining working time estimated for the employees participating in the plan (15,9 years as of 12.31.2007 and 16,85 as of 12.31.2008).

f.3) As permitted by CVM Resolution 371/2000, the Bank will verify, when recognizing actuarial gains, if there is an amount of actuarial losses not recognized, above the bracket, in other post-employment plans, Should this amount exist, the value to be amortized in the Bank’s results will be the higher between a) the amount of actuarial losses not recognized above the bracket up to the value of the actuarial gain recognized in another plan, and b) the actuarial loss determined according to that described in the previous items.

h) Impacts on Net Income Resulting of 2008 from the Review of the Calculations of Actuarial Assets and Liabilities according to CVM Resolution 371/00

Banco do Brasil published a material fact on 1.23.2009 notifying the Market that it had reviewed the calculations of its actuarial assets and liabilities according to CVM Resolution 371/00, of the Securities Commission, and as a result of CGPC Resolution 26, of the Supplementary Pension Steering Committee, of 9.29.2008.

This review resulted in the accounting of part of the unrecognized actuarial gains of the Retirement and Pension Plan (Plan 1, of Previ), of unrecognized actuarial losses of the Health Care Plan (Cassi) and the

respective deferred tax effects in conformity with the publication of Provisional Measure no. 453, of 1.23.2009.

Resolution CVM 371, in line with international accounting principles, determines the recording of a liability when the sum of obligations exceeds the amount of assets from the benefit plan, and of an asset, when the sum of assets exceeds the amount of obligations of the plan, In the latter circumstance, the asset should only be recorded when there is evidence that it may effectively reduce the sponsor’s contributions or that it will be reimbursable in the future, as established in the aforementioned resolution.

Resolution CGPC 26 served to throw light on issues related to the interpretation of the right of sponsors and of participants to the surplus resources originating from the contributions (and their yields) of both parties. According to that Resolution, the surplus should be assigned to the sponsors and participants in proportion to the contributions made.

Certain trade associations and other associations filed lawsuits challenging the legality of CGCP Resolution 26, In some of them the request for a preliminary injunction to suspend the effects of aforesaid resolution was refused, while in others the request was granted, Bank management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, understands that CGCP Resolution 26 is of a legitimate nature, and that the Judiciary will conciliate the understanding with respect to the right and form of division of the surplus as defined in the abovementioned resolution.

In view of the various lawsuits filed in relation to CGPC Resolution 26, Banco do Brasil understands that although this norm has thrown light on some issues previously under discussion, especially as regards the amounts to be assigned to the sponsors and participants in the event of existence of a surplus in the supplementary pension entities, this Resolution does not change the definitions existing in the current regulations and, therefore, does not have effects on the need for records of the actuarial assets and liabilities required by public institutions, regulated through CVM Resolution 371/00.

As regards the actuarial losses of the Health Care Plan, these are part of the sum that the Bank is required to record in its liabilities, corresponding to the future contributions of all the employees according to the stage of their retirement. The accrual basis requires that these expenses are recorded while the employees are still active, even if the payments are made monthly, in the future, The Bank has already been appropriating these losses, also in the form of CVM Resolution 371, since 2001, as described in note 28 to its balance sheet of 6.30.2008, Since the aforementioned Resolution enables quicker recognition of these losses, the Bank opted to do it in this manner.

a) Contingent liabilities

Labor Lawsuits

The Bank is a party to labor lawsuits mainly filed by former employees or trade unions of the banking industry. The provisions for probable losses represent various claims, such as: severance pay, overtime, allowance per job and representation, supplement per Individual BACEN 40% (parity with the employees of BACEN) and others.

Tax Lawsuits

The Bank is subject to a number of challenges by the tax authorities with respect to taxes, which can give rise to assessments regarding the jurisdiction where taxes are incurred or the sum of taxable income or deductible expenses, Most of the lawsuits originating from tax assessment notices are related to ISSQN (service tax), CPMF, CSLL, IRPJ and IOF, and, some are guaranteed by cash or real estate properties.

Civil Lawsuits

The most significant lawsuits classified as probable losses are those aimed at the collection of the difference between the actual rates of inflation suffered and the rate used for inflation correction of financial investments during the period of the various economic Plans (Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan).

32 – Risk Management and Regulatory Capital

a) Risk Management Process

Banco do Brasil considers the management of risks and of capital the main vectors for the decision-making process.

In the Banco do Brasil, collegiate risk management is performed completely apart from the business units. Risk and concentration policies are specified by the Bank’s Board of Directors and by the Global Risk Committee (CRG), which is a discussion group composed by the President and by Vice-Presidents. Actions for implementing and monitoring guidelines issued by the CRG are directed at specific sub-committees (Credit, Market, and Operations), which are groups formed by Directors.

To find out more about the risk management process at Banco do Brasil, access the website bb.com.br/ri.

b) Credit Risk

Credit Risk is associated with the possibility of loss resulting from uncertainty regarding the receipt of amounts agreed on with borrowers, counterparts of contracts or issues of securities.

For alignment with the best practices of credit risk management and to increase efficiency in the management of its economic capital, Banco do Brasil uses risk and return metrics as instruments for dissemination of the culture at the Institution, present throughout its loan process.

c) Market Risk

Market Risk reflects the possibility of loss that can be caused by changes in the behavior of interest and exchange rates and of prices of shares and commodities.

Financial Instruments

Short-term interbank investments: The market value was obtained by future cash flows discount, adopting interest rates exercised by the market in similar operations in the balance sheet date.

Securities: Securities and derivative financial instruments are accounted for by the market value, as provided for in BACEN Circular 3068 of 11.08.2001, excluding from such criterion, securities held to maturity. Determination of securities’ market value, including those held to maturity, is obtained according to rates collected at the market.

Loan operations: Operations remunerated at fixed rates have been estimated through future cash flow discount, adopting for such, interest rates utilized by the Bank for contracting of similar operations in the balance sheet date. For operations of such group remunerated at variable rates, it was considered as market value the book value itself due to equivalence among them.

Interbank deposits: The market value has been calculated through discount of the difference between future cash flows and rates currently applicable in the fixed operations market. In case of variable operations which maturities did not exceed 30 days, the book value was deemed to be approximately equivalent to the market value.

Time deposits: The same criteria adopted for interbank deposits are utilized in the determination of the market value.

Deposits received under security repurchase agreements: For operations at fixed rates, the market value was determined calculating the discount of the estimated cash flows adopting a discount rate equivalent to

the rates applicable in contracting of similar operations in the last market day. For variable operations, book values have been deemed approximately equivalent to market value.

Borrowing and onlendings: Said operations are exclusive to the Bank, without similarity in the market. In face of their specific characteristics, exclusive rates for each fund entered, inexistence of an active market and similar instrument, the market values of such operations are equivalent to the book value.

Other liabilities: Market values have been determined by means of the discounted cash flow, which takes into account interest rates offered in the market for obligations which maturities, risks and terms are similar.

Other financial instruments: Included or not in the balance sheet, book values are approximately equivalent to their correspondent market value.

Derivatives: According to BACEN Circular 3082, of 1.30.2002, derivatives are recorded at market value. Determination of derivatives’ market value is estimated in accordance with an internal pricing model, with the use of the rates disclosed for transactions with similar terms and indices on the fiscal years’ last business day.

Sensitivity Analysis (CVM Instruction no. 475)

In line with best market practices, Banco do Brasil manages its risks in a dynamic manner, seeking to detect, assess, monitor, and control market risk exposures in its own positions. To this end, the Bank takes into account the risk limits defined by the Strategic Committees and likely scenarios, to act in a timely manner in reversing any occasional adverse results.

In accordance with CMN Resolution no 3464/07 and with Bacen Circular no. 3354/07, and in an effort to manage more efficiently its transactions exposed to market risks, Banco do Brasil separates its transactions as follows:

1) Trading Book: consisting in all the transactions in its own position undertaken as business deals or intended as a hedge for its trading portfolio, for which there is an intention of trading prior to their contractual expiry, subject to normal market conditions and that do not have a non-trading clause.

2) Banking Book: consisting in transactions not classified in the Trading Book and the key feature of which is the intention of keeping these transactions until expiry.

The sensitivity analysis for all the operations with assets and liabilities of the balance sheet, in compliance with CVM Instruction n.º 475/2008, of 12.17.2008, does not adequately reflect the management of market risks adopted by the Institution, and does not represent the Bank’s accounting practices.

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s capital to the reflexes of market trends, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome for the Bank. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario I: Likely situation, which reflects the perception of senior management of the Bank, the scenario most likely to occur for a 3-month horizon, considering macroeconomic factors and market information (BM & F Bovespa, Andima etc.). Assumptions used: real exchange rate / dollar rate of R$ 1.74 and maintaining the Selic rate of 8.75% per year of interest based on market conditions observed on 12.31.2009.

Scenario II: Situation possible. Assumptions used: parallel shock of 25.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 12.31.2009 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

Scenario III: Situation possible. Assumptions used: parallel shock of 50.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 12.31.2009 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

In the table below may be seen a summary of the Trading Portfolio profit figures (Trading), which included public and private securities, derivatives financial instrument and funding based on transactions subject to repurchase agreements showing the values observed in 12.31.2009 and 12.31.2008:

In the case of transactions classified in the Banking Book, appreciations or depreciations resulting from changes in interest rates practiced in the market do not imply in a significant financial and bookkeeping impact on the Bank’s income. This is so because this portfolio is composed chiefly of loan operations (consumer credit, agribusiness, working capital, etc.); retail funding (demand, time, and savings deposits), and securities, which are recorded in the books according to the agreed on rates when contracting these operations. In addition, it should be pointed out that these portfolios have as their key feature the intention of helding the respective positions to maturity, and hence they are not subject to the effects of fluctuating interest rates, or the fact that such transactions are naturally related to other transactions (natural hedge), hence minimizing the reflexes of a stress scenario.

It is noteworthy that the figures relating to 12.31.2009 include the impacts generated by the positions of the Non-Trading Portfolio of Banco Nossa Caixa, with a view to their effective incorporation into the Bank of Brazil in 11.30.2009.

The scenarios used for preparing the framework of sensitivity analysis must necessarily use situations of deterioration of at least 25% and 50% for variable risk for isolation, as determined by CVM Instruction No. 475/2008. Therefore, the analysis of the results is impaired. For example, simultaneous shocks of increase in the rate of advance and reduction in interest coupon of TR are not consistent from a macroeconomic.

In particular with regard to derivative transactions found in the Banking Book, these do not represent a relevant market risk to Banco do Brasil, as these positions originated mainly to fulfill the following situations:

– Change of the indexation of funding and lending transactions performed to meet customer needs;

– “Tax Hedge” consisting in eliminating the volatility risk to the Bank’s profit figures owing to the fiscal effect on foreign currency variations in connection with overseas investments (gains in exchange variations on overseas investments are not taxed, and similarly losses do not create tax deductions). As a result, any exchange rate variation will affect the account that records the derivative contrary to the effect recorded in the investment account, i.e.: the exchange variation’s effect will be zero;

– Market risk hedge with purpose and efficacy as described in Note 8.b. Also in this transaction, the interest and exchange rate variations have no effects on the Bank’s income.

The Banco do Brasil did not enter into any transaction likely to be classified as an exotic derivative, as described in CVM Instruction no. 475 – Attachment II.

Participation in Banco Votorantim

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s participation in Banco Votorantim, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario I: Situation likely, which reflects the perception of top management of Banco Votorantim in the scenario most likely to occur. Assumptions used: real exchange rate / dollar from R$ 1.80 and the Selic rate of interest 11.75% per year.

Scenario II: Assumptions used: parallel shock of 25.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 12.31.2009 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and thus ignoring the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

Scenario III: Assumptions used: parallel shock of 50.0% in the risk variables, based on market conditions observed on 12.31.2009 and is considered the worst losses by risk factor and, therefore, neglecting the dynamics of macroeconomic factors.

d) Liquidity Risk – this type of risk takes two forms: market liquidity risk and cash flow liquidity risk (funding). The first is the possibility of loss resulting from the incapacity to perform a transaction in a reasonable period of time and without significant loss of value. The second is associated with the possibility of a shortage of funds to honor commitments assumed on account of the mismatching between assets and liabilities.

e) Operating Risk – reflects the possibility of loss resulting from faults, deficiencies, or the inadequacy of internal processes, personnel and systems, or external events. This concept includes legal risks.

1 – The Bank and its Operations

Banco do Brasil S.A. is a publicly listed company established under private law, with both public and private stockholders, and subject to the requirements of Brazilian corporate legislation. Its purpose is to carry out all the asset, liability and accessory banking operations, to provide banking services, intermediate and originate financial transactions in various forms, including in foreign exchange transactions and in supplementary activities, with an emphasis on insurance, private pension, capitalization, securities brokerage, administration of credit/debit cards, consortiums, investment funds and management portfolios, and the practice of any activities permitted to the institutions that are part of the National Finance System. It is also the main financial agent of the Brazilian Federal Government and is therefore required to carry out the functions attributed to it by law, specifically those of Art. 19 of Law 4595/1964.

2 – Presentation of the Financial Statements

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting guidelines derived from Brazilian corporation law, and observing the rules and instructions issued by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN), Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), National Council of Private Insurance (CNSP), Superintendency of Private Insurance (Susep), and National Health Care Agency (ANS).

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements as of 12.31.2008, the Bank adopted for the first time the alterations in the corporate legislation introduced by Law no. 11.638, approved on 12.28.2007, with the respective modifications introduced by Provisional Measure no. 449, of 12.03.2008. The adjustments related to the initial adoption are detailed in Note 3.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil requires that Management use discernment in the determination and recording of accounting estimates, when applicable. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and assumptions include the residual value of property, plant and equipment, allowance for loan losses and deferred income tax recorded in assets, provision for contingencies, appreciation of derivative financial instruments, and assets and liabilities relating to benefits for employees. The final amounts of transactions involving these estimates are only known upon their settlement.

They include operations of Banco do Brasil S.A. in Brazil and abroad (BB-Domestic and Foreign Branches), and the consolidated position of branches and financial and non-financial subsidiaries in Brazil and abroad, the foreign special purpose entities, as well as investments in subsidiary and associated companies, in accordance with BACEN recommendation (BB-Consolidated).

For financial statements comparative purposes, the following reclassifications were made on 2007 figures:

a) the full offsetting of accumulated tax loss carry forwards of Income Tax and Social Contribution negative basis (Note 24.c), were carried out in order to adjust to the accounting procedures/classifications adopted in 2S08, which resulted from the application of Resolution CMN 3535 of January 31, 2008. The procedure results in a balance increase in Debtors for Escrows (Note 11.b) and in Other Tax and Social Security Liabilities (Note 32.e) in the amount of R$ 9,460,032 thousand;

b) to the service fees (Note 22), aiming at compliance to Bacen Circular no. 3.288, of 11.14.2007. The procedure implies reclassification from Fee Income to Bank Fee Income in the amount of R$ 2,578,145 thousand;

The authorization for conclusion of such financial statements was given by the Executive Board of Directors, on 02.17.2009.

3 – Initial Adoption of Law n.º 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure n.º 449/08

Law n.º 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure n.º 449/08 altered, revoked and introduced several provisions in the Corporation Law (Law n.º 6,404/1976), with effect from January 1, 2008. The new Law and Provisional Measure brought important alterations in rules for recognition and measuring of equity items, as well as for the presentation of financial statements.

As permitted by Technical Statement CPC 13 – Initial Adoption of Law n.º 11,638/07 and MP n.º 449/08, approved by CVM Resolution n.º 565, of 12.17.2008, the Bank opted to prepare the initial balance sheet com data de January 1, 2008, according to the aforesaid statement. Accordingly, this financial statement is the starting point of accounting, whereas the initial adjustments made, if any, were recorded in the account of retained earnings or accumulated deficit.

Banco do Brasil, as allowed by the aforementioned statement, did not present the comparative amounts as if the alterations set out in Law n.º 11,638/07 and MP n.º 449/08 had always been in use.

We present below the summary of accounting practices modified by Law n.º 11,638/07 and MP n.º 449/08:

a) Balance Sheet – Groups of Accounts – Assets

As refers to the structure of the Balance Sheet, Law n.º 11,638/07 and Provisional Measure n.º 449/08, in providing new wording to article 178 of Law n.º 6,404/76, regulated the new composition of the groups of accounts, as follows:

In assets, the accounts will be arranged in decreasing order of degree of liquidity of the elements recorded therein, in the following groups:

I – current assets

II – noncurrent assets, comprised of:

a.1) Long-term Receivables – rights realizable after the end of the following year, as well as those derived from sales, advances or loans to associated or subsidiary companies (article 243), directors, shareholders or parties with a share in the firm’s profits, which did not constitute normal business in the exploration of the company’s purpose.

a.2) Investment -permanent interests in other companies and rights of any nature, not classifiable in current assets, and that are not intended for maintenance of the activity of the firm or of the company.

a.3) Fixed Assets – in altering article 179 of Law n.º 6,404/76, Law n.º 11,638/07 determines the classification in Property, Plant and Equipment of rights the subject of which is tangible chattel intended for the maintenance of the firm’s activities or exercised with this purpose, including those resulting from operations that transfer the benefits, risks and control of these assets to the firm. However, Bacen, by means of Resolution n.º 3,617, of 9.30.2008, excluded the applicability of this provision to the assets subject matter of lease operations, which should be recorded in the property, plant and equipment of the lessor institutions.

a.4) Intangible Assets – Law n.º 11,638/07 introduced the Intangible Assets subgroup, in the group of Noncurrent Assets, for recording rights the subject of which is intangible chatted intended for the maintenance of the firm or exercised with this purpose, including the goodwill acquired. The Central Bank expressed an opinion about this provision, through Circular Letter n.º 3,357, of 12.3.2008, determining the classification in the Intangible Assets subgroup of software acquired or developed after 9.30.2008 and the reclassification of the amounts set aside for business relationship, mainly resulting from payroll acquisitions, which were recorded in Other Assets – Prepaid Expenses.

a.5) Deferred Charges – Although Provisional Measure n.º 449/08 altered the wording of article 178 of Law n.º 6,404/76, putting an end to the group of Deferred Charges, the aforesaid MP allowed, by means of article 299-A, the balance existing on December 31, 2008 which, due to its nature, could not be allocated to another group of accounts, to remain in assets under this classification until its complete amortization. Nevertheless, the National Monetary Council (CMN), through Resolution n.º 3,617, of 9.30.2008, explained that the balances existing in Deferred Charges formed before the entry into force of said Resolution should be maintained until their effective write-off.

b) Balance Sheet – Groups of Accounts – Liabilities

In liabilities, the accounts will be classified in the following groups:

I – current liabilities;

II – noncurrent liabilities; and

III – shareholders’ equity, divided into capital stock, capital reserves, equity valuation adjustments, revenue reserves, treasury shares and accumulated deficit.

b.1) “Equity Valuation Adjustments”, MP n.º 449/08 defined the classification in this grouping, while not computed in income for the period in compliance with the accrual basis, of the contra-entries of increases or decreases of amount attributed to elements of asset and of liabilities, as a result of their valuation at fair value, in the cases provided for in this Law, or in rules issued by the Securities Commission.

b.2) The “Deferred Income” Group was discontinued by Provisional Measure n.º 449/08, which also ruled that the balance existing on 12.31.2008 should be reclassified to noncurrent liabilities in an account representing deferred income in the consolidated accounting information. As Bacen has not yet regulated the alteration, the Bank maintained the balance of R$ 122,749 thousand, on 12.31.2007 and R$ 221,522 thousand, on 12.31.2008, in the accounting information of Branches in the Country and Abroad, yet reclassified the amounts in the consolidated accounting information.

c) Financial Instruments – Classification and Measuring of Financial Assets

In relation to the asset valuation criteria, article 183 of Law n.º 6,404/76 started to provide for the classification of financial instruments, including derivatives, in categories that denote Management’s intention in relation to these assets. According to the new wording of this article, negotiable assets and assets classified as available for sale should be valued at market price.

The other financial assets were stated at cost, restated according to the legal or contractual provisions, adjusted to the realizable value, if lower. CVM issued Resolution n.º 566, on 12.17.2008, approving Technical Statement CPC 14, which refers to the recognition, measuring and evidencing of financial instruments. In this aspect, there is no equity effect for Banco do Brasil, which already applies Bacen Circular n.º 3,068, of 11.8.2001, in compliance with Resolution n.º 566.

d) Financial Leasing

The new Law incorporated to property, plant and equipment the rights the subject matter of which is assets intended for the maintenance of the entity’s activities, or exercised for this purpose, including those resulting from operations that transfer the benefits, risks and control of these assets to the entity. In this manner, it also started to cover assets that do not belong to the entity, but with controls, risks and benefits that are exercised thereby.

On 11.12.2008, CVM issued Resolution n.º 554, approving Technical Statement CPC 06, aiming to establish, for lessees and lessors, appropriate accounting policies and disclosures to be applied in relation to leases, as follows:

The lessee entity, for purposes of preparing its financial statements, should: record in property, plant and equipment, in a specific account, the asset leased at the fair value or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum payments of the lease, on the initial date of the contract, adjusted by accumulated depreciation calculated from the contract date to the transition date; record, in a specific account, the financial leasing liability at the present value of the remunerations outstanding on the transition date; and record the difference determined in the foregoing items, net of tax effects, against retained earnings or accumulated deficit on the transition date. Any initial direct costs of the lessee previously recognized in income for the period cannot be incorporated to the value of the asset in the balance sheet on the transition date.

The Bank, as lessee entity, has leaseback contracts in force on the transition date. The application of the new criterion entailed impacts on the consolidated balance sheet, yet no adjustments were made in Shareholders’ equity and in consolidated income, as said adjustments were considered immaterial.

The lessor entity, for purposes of preparing its financial statements, should: execute the write-off of the cost of property, plant and equipment and of the corresponding accumulated depreciation, against retained earnings or accumulated deficit on the transition date and record the financial instrument resulting from the financial lease as a receivable asset (accounts receivable), against retained earnings or accumulated deficit, at the present value of the remunerations outstanding on the transition date.

The Bank, as a lessor entity, has leaseback contracts, which entailed the reclassifications in the consolidated financial statements.

e) Recovery Amount of Assets (Impairment)

Another innovation of Law 11,638/07 is the creation of the periodic analysis of the recovery of amounts recorded in assets, mainly in property and equipment in use, in intangible assets and in deferred charges. This analysis should be carried out with the objective of recording loss of value when the amount recoverable is lower than the book value of the asset, and of reviewing and adjusting the depreciation and amortization criteria. This subject has already been rectified by CVM Resolution n.º 527, of 11.1.2008, and by the Central Bank, by means of the approval of Technical Statement CPC 01 – Reduction to the Recoverable Amount of Assets.

The Bank performed the revaluation of these assets on 12.31.2008, which entailed recognition of provisions for adjustment to recoverable amount, resulting from a difference determined between amounts recorded in accounting and the relationship contribution margin expectation, on contracts entered into with government agencies.

f) Adjustments to Present Value of Assets and Liabilities

Law 11,638/07 also created the adjustment to present value for long-term assets and liabilities and for short-term assets and liabilities with relevant effect. CVM, by means of Resolution n.º 565, of 12.17.2008, approved Technical Statement CPC 12, which refers to Adjustment to Present Value. The Central Bank has not yet made a pronouncement in this regard.

Operations carried out by Banco do Brasil are already presented by the representative amounts of the time of their performance, since pre-fixed operations with assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value by the existence of accounts of unearned income and unexpired expenses, and for the receivables and obligations subject to post-fixed variations, which are realized at their cash value and have their respective amounts periodically restated by the rates of the operations. Actuarial assets and liabilities are already at present value as well, according to the criteria defined by CVM Resolution n.º 371. In this manner, the Adjustment to Present Value for long-term operations with assets and liabilities, as well as for short-term operations, did not impact the financial statements of Banco do Brasil.

g) Equity Pickup

Under the new law, the equity method of accounting will be used to value investments in associated companies over whose management the Bank has significant influence, or in which it participates with twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting capital, in subsidiaries and in other companies that are part of the group or are under common ownership. This subject was regulated by CVM Instruction 469, which altered CVM Instruction 247, of 3.27.1996. Consequently, some companies previously valued at cost could henceforth be valued by the equity method of accounting and vice-versa. The Central Bank, through Resolution n.º 3.619, of 9.30.2008, adapted its rules relating to the valuation of investments to the text of Law n.º 11,638/07. Within the sphere of Banco do Brasil, there will be no alteration of investments due to the use of this criterion.

h) Premium received in the issue of debentures and donations and investment subsidies

The following capital reserve accounts were eliminated by Law 11,638/07 in shareholders’ equity: (i) premium received in the issue of debentures and (ii) donations and investment subsidies. The Central Bank has not yet regulated this subject matter. According to CVM Instruction 469, of 5.2.2008, companies may maintain the existing balances up to their effective use as provided for in the law. On 01.01.2008, Banco do Brasil had a balance relating to donations and investment subsidies of R$ 5,189 thousand, that will be maintained as allowed by said instruction.

According to the new text of the law, donations or government investment subsidies should now support the company’s net income. The general meeting may, upon the proposal of the management bodies, allocate to the fiscal incentives reserve the portion of net income resulting from donations and government investment subsidies, which can be excluded from the calculation basis of the compulsory dividend.

i) Revaluation Reserve

Another alteration was the elimination of the revaluation reserve. Banco do Brasil has a balance of R$ 7,286 thousand on 01.01.2008, relating to revaluations of its subsidiaries. As determined by the Central Bank, and as permitted by Law 11,638/07, this balance will be maintained until effective realization by means of depreciation or write-off. In this regard, Banco do Brasil recommended that its subsidiaries and suggested that its associated companies maintain the respective revaluation reserve balances.

j) Retained Earnings

According to the modification introduced by Law n.º 11,638/07, net income for the year should be earmarked in full according to the grounds contained in articles 193 to 197 of Law n.º 6,404/76. The Law did not eliminate the account of retained earnings or the statement of their activity, which should be presented as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. This account, however, is of an absolutely transitory nature and should be used for the transfer of income determined in the period, counter entry of the revenue reserves and for the intended uses of income. The Central Bank issued Resolution n.º 3,605 on 8.28.2008, allowing the balance of retained earnings, existing on the date aforesaid Resolution took effect, to be earmarked for use up to 12.31.2010. This practice did not entail impacts on Banco do Brasil, which has already been earmarking the amounts recorded in retained earnings in full.

k) Share Based Remuneration

Under the new law, sharings of debentures, of employees and management, even in the form of financial instruments, and of assistance or pension institutions or funds of assistance of employees, that are not characterized as expense should pas through the company’s net income. The aforesaid topic was the subject matter of CVM Resolution n.º 562, of 12.17.2008, which approved Technical Statement CPC 10. This provision does not affect Banco do Brasil, as there is no share-based payment program at the company.

l) Added Value (DVA) and Cash Flow (DFC) Statement

As refers to the balance sheets, Law 11,638/07, in providing new wording to article 176 of Law 6,404/76, eliminated the Statement of Changes in Financial Position (DOAR) and created the Cash Flow Statement (DFC) and the Statement of Added Value (DVA). CVM Resolutions n.º 547, of 8.13.2008, and n.º 557, of 11.12.2008, approved Technical Statements 03 and 09 that refer to DFC and DVA, respectively. In relation to these alterations there are no impacts for Banco do Brasil, as the Bank has already been publishing the DFC and the DVA voluntarily.

We present the impacts on Net Income for the Year and on the Shareholders’ Equity of Banco do Brasil by the Adoption of Law n.º 11,638/07 and MP n.º 449/08:

4 – Main Accounting Practices

The practices are related to follow those used by the Banco do Brasil (Domestic and Foreign branches):

a) Determination of Results

Income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. Transactions with post-fixed financial charges are recorded at the restated value, calculated pro-rata-die based on the variations in the agreed contractual indices, and the transactions with fixed financial charges are recorded at future value, adjusted to reflect unearned income or unexpired expenses. Transactions pegged to foreign currencies are restated up to the balance sheet date using current exchange rates.

b) Short-term interbank investments

Short-term interbank investments are recorded at investment value or purchase price, plus income accrued up to the balance sheet date.

c) Securities

The securities purchased for the Bank’s portfolio are recorded at the actual amount paid, including brokerage charges and fees, and are classified based on the intention of management, in three different categories:

Trading Securities: these are securities purchased to be actively and frequently traded. They are adjusted monthly to market value. Their increases and decreases in value are recorded in income and expense accounts for the period;

Securities available for sale: these are securities purchased to be traded, which can be traded at any time. They are adjusted monthly to market value. The increases and decreases in value are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate stockholders’ equity account;

Securities held to maturity: these are securities that the Bank intends and has the financial capacity to hold to maturity. The financial capacity is supported by a cash flow projection that does not consider the

   Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

 

possibility of sale of these securities. These securities are not adjusted to market value but are held at cost plus accumulated interest.

The mark-to-market methodology used for securities was established following consistent and verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the day of calculation or, if not available, the daily adjustment of future market transactions reported by Andima, BM&F, Bovespa or BACEN or the net expected realizable value obtained through the use of curves of future interest rates, foreign exchange rates, price and currency indices.

Income accrued on the securities, irrespective of the category in which they are classified, is appropriated on a pro-rata-die basis on the accrual basis of accounting up to the date of maturity or of final sale, on an exponential or straight-line method, based on the contractual remuneration and purchase price, and recorded directly in income for the period.

Losses with securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity, if judged not to be temporary, are recorded directly in expense for the period and a new cost basis for the asset is determined.

Upon sale, the difference between the sale amount and the cost of purchase plus accrued income is recorded on the date of the transaction as a gain or loss on securities.

d) Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at market value at each monthly trial balance and balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in value are recorded in income or expense accounts of the respective financial instruments.

The mark-to-market methodology used for derivative financial instruments was established following consistent and verifiable criteria, which consider the average price of trading on the date of calculation or, if not available, pricing models that estimate the expected net realizable value, according to the characteristics of the derivative.

Derivative financial instruments used to offset, in whole or in part, the risks arising from exposure to variations in financial asset or liability market values or future cash flows are considered hedge instruments and are classified according to their nature:

Market Risk Hedge – the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments, as well as of the item hedged, are recorded in income accounts for the period;

Cash Flow Hedge – the effective amount of the increases or decreases in the value of the derivative financial instruments classified in this category are recorded, net of tax effects, in a separate Stockholders’ Equity account. The effective amount is that in which the variation of the item hedged, directly related to the corresponding risk, is offset by the variation in the derivative financial instrument used as the hedge, considering the accumulated effect of the transaction. Other variations in these instruments are recorded directly in income for the period.

e) Loan and lease operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, Other receivables with loan characteristics and allowance for possible loan losses

Loan operations, advances on foreign exchange contracts, other receivables with loan characteristics and allowance for possible loan losses are classified according to Management’s judgment with respect to the level of risk, taking into consideration the economic panorama, past experience and specific risks in relation to the operation, to obligators and guarantors, observing the parameters established by CMN Resolution

Banco do Brasil S.A.

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Reais)

   Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

 

2682/1999, which requires the periodic analysis of the portfolio and its rating using nine levels, ranging from AA (minimum risk) to H (maximum risk), as well as the rating of operations more than 15 days overdue as ‘abnormal operations’.

Income from loans overdue for more than 60 days, regardless of their level of risk, will only be recognized as income when effectively received.

Operations rated at level H continue in this status for 180 days, at which point they are written off against the existing provision and monitored, for five years, in off-balance sheet accounts.

Renegotiated operations are maintained, at a minimum, at the same level at which they were rated. The renegotiations of loans that had already been written off against provision that were in memorandum accounts are rated as H and any gains from the renegotiation are only recognized as income when effectively received.

Allowance for possible loan losses is considered sufficient by management to cover future losses from the current portfolio and satisfies the minimum requirement established by the aforementioned CMN Resolution 2682/1999, as shown in Note 10.e.

f) Prepaid Expenses

Refer to the application of funds in prepayments, which will give rise to benefits or the rendering of services in subsequent periods.

g) Permanent assets

Significant investments in Brazil and abroad are recognized using the equity method of accounting, in conformity with BACEN and CVM rules and instructions, and are classified in the investment account in permanent assets.

The statements of the overseas branches and subsidiaries are adapted to accounting criteria in force in Brazil and translated into Brazilian Reais using current exchange rates, in conformity with BACEN Circulars 2937, of 12.29.1993 and 2571, of 5.17.1995, and their impacts are recorded in income for the period. Other permanent investments are stated at cost, restated for inflation up to December 31, 1995, and, if necessary, are adjusted to market value through the formation of provision, according to the current rules.

Property and equipment is stated at cost less depreciation calculated using the straight-line method at the following annual rates: buildings and improvements – 4%; vehicles – 20%; others – 10% (see Note 14).

Deferred assets are recorded at acquisition cost, net of accrued amortizations. It is composed mainly of expenditures in third-party property as a result of opening facilities, which are amortized according to rates based on rental terms, and expenditures on the acquisition and development of information systems, which are amortized at a 20% annual rate.

The Intangible Assets are rights which are intangible assets subject to the maintenance of the company or held for that purpose, including the goodwill acquired. An asset meets the criteria for identification of an intangible asset, as CVM Deliberation No. 553 of 11.12.2008, where: is inseparable, or can be separated from the entity and sold, transferred or licensed, rented or exchanged individually or with a contract, asset or liability relates, regardless of the intention to use the body, or the result of contractual rights or other legal rights, regardless of whether such rights are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations.

The assets of the property, the intangible and deferred recoverable values are tested at least annually, if there are indicators of loss of value.

h) Benefits for employees

Short-term benefits for existing employees are recognized on the accrual basis as the services are provided. Post-employment benefits, comprising supplementary retirement benefits, medical assistance and other benefits for which the Bank is responsible, were calculated at December 31, 2008 in accordance with criteria established by CVM Deliberation 371 of 12.13.2000 (Note 29.b).

i) Income and Social Contribution Taxes

Corporate income tax is calculated at the basic rate of 15% plus a surcharge of 10%. As of May 1, 2008, Social Contribution is being calculated using the rate of 15% for financial companies and companies from the insurance business and 9% for other companies (up to April 30, 2008 at the rate of 9% for all of the companies).

Tax credits are created by applying the current tax rates to the difference between their respective fiscal and accounting bases. The Bank follows the criteria for creating, maintaining, and writing off these tax credits as specified by CMN Resolution 3059 dated December 20, 2002, and amended by CMN Resolution 3355 dated March, 31, 2006, and tax credits recognized are supported by a realization study.

The tax credits resulting from the increase of the rate of Social Contribution from 9% to 15% are being recognized in a only to the extent that the amounts are sufficient to counter the effect of the result arising from the increase of the rate (6%) on CSLL tax liabilities (current and deferred) see note 25.a and 25.b.

The Bank records IRPJ, CSLL, Pasep and Cofins tax credits on the negative mark-to-market adjustments of securities and derivative financial instruments recorded in the income and in a separate account in Stockholders’ equity.

IRPJ, CSLL, Pasep and Cofins deferred tax liabilities have been recorded on the positive mark-to-market adjustments of securities and derivative financial instruments recorded in income and in a separate account in Stockholders’ Equity.

j) Operations related to the activities of insurance, pension and capitalization

Determination of Results

Insurance premiums and selling expenses are recorded upon the issuance of policies or billings and are recognized in results, according to the elapsed coverage period. Insurance revenue and the corresponding selling expenses, related to current risks without the issuing of respective policies are recognized in results at the beginning of the coverage, on estimated basis.

Income from insurance premiums covering future risks is deferred over the period of validity of the insurance policies, by means of the formation of provision for unearned premiums, based on the net retention of earned premiums issued.

Operations of accepted coinsurance, retrocession and DPVAT are recorded based on information received from similar companies, IRB Brasil Resseguros S.A. and the lead insurer, respectively.

The revenue from pension plans, life insurance with living benefits and capitalization plans are recognized in results when effectively received, as a contra-entry to the recognition of technical provisions. The selling costs are deferred upon the issuance of the contract or policy and allocated to results on a straight-line basis, over the average estimated period for recovery.

Other income and expenses are determined using the accrual basis of accounting.

Technical Provisions

Rules and procedures for the formation of technical provisions are regulated by Resolutions 36/2000, 162/2006, and 181/2007 of the National Council of Private Insurance – CNSP and Resolution 75/2004 of National Health Care Agency (ANS), and calculated in accordance with the specific actuarial technical notes approved by the Superintendency of Private Insurance – Susep and National Health Care Agency – ANS.

Insurance

Provision for Unearned Premiums (PPNG) represents the portions of premiums that will be allocated to income over the course of the insurance contracting periods, as calculated by the pro rata method.

Provision for Unearned Premiums of Risks Effective Yet Not Issued (PPNG-RVNE) represents the adjustment of PPNG given the existence of risks assumed by the insurance company the policy covering which has not yet been formally issued.

Provision for Premium Insufficiency (PIP) represents the need for adaptation of premiums to be allocated due to the expectation of claims with provision for probable payments.

Provision for Unsettled Claims (PSL) represents the forecast of probable indemnifications, whether judicial or not, net of recoveries, determined based on notices received up to the balance sheet date, adjusted by the estimate of claims Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR).

Provision for Claims Incurred but Not Reported (IBNR) represents the expected claims, referring to the accounting period under analysis, which will be received by the insurance company.

The objective of the Supplementary Provision for Premiums (PCP) is to adjust the technical provisions of PPNG premium and PPNG-RVNE, to give the Bank an additional margin of protection, at the time of calculation, with a sum higher than or equal to the average amount determined daily. It is classified under “Other Provisions”.

The abovementioned provisions, with the exception of Provision for Unearned Premiums (PPNG) and Provision for Insufficiency of Premiums (PIP), are estimated according to methodologies described in specific Actuarial Technical Notes, submitted to the approval of ANS and Susep.

Pension

The mathematical reserves related to pension plans represent the current amount of the liabilities in the form of survivorship income, pension and annuity, determined through calculation and actuarial assumptions in the financial regimes of capitalization, allocation of hedge capital and simple allocation, respectively.

Particularly for the pension and insurance plans from the categories of PGBL and VGBL, the mathematical provision for future benefit payments represents the sum of premiums and contributions transferred by the participants, net of the loading rate, plus the financial income earned from the investments of resources.

The provisions for shortfall of contributions and of premiums are formed to account for the impacts resulting from the tendency for a higher survival rate of participants and their calculation is performed using the “AT 2000 Male/Female Suavizada” mortality table and related assumptions, considering all the plans sold.

The provision for financial fluctuation is formed to account for the potential impacts of unfavorable variations in the future re-investment rates of funds earmarked for the payment of benefits and redemptions to participants, considering the minimum remuneration guaranteed in a contract.

Capitalization

The mathematical reserve for redemption is calculated on the nominal value of the securities, restated based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep.

 

F-236


Banco do Brasil S.A.

Notes to the financial statements

(In thousands of Reais)

   Years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

 

Provisions for redemption of overdue and prepaid securities are formed by securities with finalized and rescinded capitalization periods, restated in the period between the date of the right to redemption and effective settlement.

The amounts earmarked for the formation of the provision for unrealized prize draws are calculated on the nominal value of the securities, based on actuarial technical notes approved by Susep, and the write-off of the provision for unrealized prize draws recorded by the amount equivalent to the lapsed risk, i.e., the balance of provision for unrealized prize draws represents the defrayed amounts of prize draws not yet executed.

Provision for prize draws payable is formed by the amounts of securities payable from prize draws, restated for the period between the date of the draw and the effective settlement.

k) Contingent Assets and Liabilities and Legal Obligations

The recognition and disclosure of contingent assets, liability contingencies and legal obligations are in accordance with the criteria defined in CVM Resolution 3535, of 1.31.2008. Note 32.

Contingent assets are only recognized in the financial statements upon the existence of evidence guaranteeing their realization.

Contingent liabilities are recognized in the financial statements when, based on the opinion of the legal counsel and of Management, the risk of loss of a lawsuit or administrative proceeding is considered probable, with a probable outflow of financial resources for the settlement of obligations and when the sums involved are measurable with sufficient assurance.

Provisions are made taking into consideration the possibility of successful applications of the author who moves lawsuit against the Bank and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

The provisions for labor claims are recorded considering, also, the jurisprudence applicable to each claim.

Contingent liabilities considered as possible losses are not recognized in the balance sheet, but must be disclosed only in the explanatory notes, while those stated as remote do not require provisioning or disclosure.

Legal obligations (fiscal and social security) are derived from tax obligations arising from legislation, and, regardless of the probability of success of lawsuits in progress, have their amounts recognized in full in the financial statements.

l) Reduction of the recoverable amount of non-financial assets – impairment

It recognized an impairment loss if the accounting value of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash contributions, which are largely independent of the input of cash forested from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses are recognized in income in the period.

From 2008, the values of non-financial assets, excluding tax credits and other securities and assets, are reviewed at least annually to determine whether there is any indication of impairment loss.

m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by assets in domestic currency, foreign currency, gold in applications, applications with high short-term liquidity, with insignificant risk of change in value and limits, with a maturity of more than 90 days (Note 7).

The difference between the Fixed Asset Ratio of the Financial Group and of the Economic/Financial consolidate figures results from the inclusion of non-financial subsidiaries/associated companies that have high liquidity and low fixed asset level, with consequent reduction of the fixed asset ratio of the Economic/Financial consolidate figures.

b) Fund for Worker Assistance (FAT) and Fund to Guarantee the Increase in Employment and Earnings (FUNPROGER)

FAT is a special accounting and financial fund, established by Law 7998/1990, attached to the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) and managed by the Executive Council of the Worker Assistance Fund – Codefat. CODEFAT is a collective, tripartite and equal level organization, composed of representatives of workers, employers and government, which acts as the manager of FAT.

The main actions to promote employment using FAT funds are centralized in the Programs for the Increase in Earnings (PROGER), whose resources are allocated by special deposits, established by Law 8352/1991, in official federal financial institutions (including, among others, PROGER in the Urban – Investment and Working Capital – and Rural, the National Program for Strengthening of Family Farming – Pronaf, the program that allocates resources for the purchase of construction materials – FAT Housing, in addition to the special lines such as FAT Rural and Urban Integration, FAT Giro Setorial – Micro and Small-Sized Companies, FAT Giro Setorial – Medium and Large-Sized Companies, FAT Fomentar – Micro and Small-Sized Companies, FAT Fomentar – Medium and Large-Sized Companies, FAT Giro Agropecuário, FAT Turismo Senior and FAT Digital Inclusion).

The FAT special deposits, allocated with Banco do Brasil, while available, incur interest on a daily “pro rata” basis using the TMS (Average Selic Rate). As they are applied in loans, the interest rate is changed to the TJLP (Long-term Interest Rate) during the effective period of the loans. The income on the Bank’s funds is paid to FAT on a monthly basis, as established in CODEFAT Resolution 439, of June 2, 2005 and 489, of April 28, 2006.

The Guarantee Fund for Generation of Employment and Earnings (Funproger) is a special accounting fund established on November 23, 1999 by Law 9872, amended by Law 10360/2001, and by Law 11110/2005 and regulated by Codefat Resolution 409/04, and is managed by Banco do Brasil under the supervision of Codefat/MTE, whose balance at December 31, 2008 is R$ 321,522 thousand (R$ 325.990 thousand at December 31, 2007).

The objective of FUNPROGER is provide guarantees to entrepreneurs who do not have the necessary guarantees of their own to contract PROGER Urbano and PNMPO financing, through the payment of a commission. The net assets of FUNPROGER are accumulated through funds arising from the difference between the average SELIC Rate and the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP) in respect of the remuneration of the special deposit balances available in the FAT. Other sources of funds are the earnings from its operations and the income on its cash resources paid to Banco do Brasil, the Fund manager.

(1) From 1.1.2003 to 4.30.2008, the rate of CSLL in force was 9%, pursuant to Law 10637, of 12.30.2002. As of May/2008, the rate of CSLL was increased to 15%, pursuant to Law 11727, of 6.23.2008.

c) Lawsuit: Interest on Own Capital Tax Benefit

c.1) In February 1998, the Bank filed a legal request for the full offset of prior year income tax and social contribution on net income losses against taxable income. Since then, the Bank has offset these tax losses in full against income tax and social contribution taxable income and has made judicial deposits of the taxes otherwise due (on 70% of the amount offset). These deposits prompted the Federal District 16th Court to issue a dispatch recognizing the suspension of payment of these taxes until final judgment of the Bank’s request, based on article 151, II, of the Tax Code. Since 10.1.2002, the proceeding has been awaiting judgment of an extraordinary appeal by the Federal Supreme Court.

c.2) The offsetting of amounts of fiscal loss and CSLL recoverable results in the write-off of deferred tax credits, observing the limitation of 30%.

c.3) In compliance with the prohibition contained in CMN Resolution 3535/2008, judicial deposits of the amount of R$ 10,998,898 thousand (principal plus interest) were not deducted from the corresponding provisions in the manner provided for in item 53 of CVM Resolution 489/2005, with a negative impact on the Basel Ratio.

c.4) Deferred taxes (corporate income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution on net income (CSLL) on the restatement of judicial deposits are being offset with the tax credits resulting from the provision related to that judicial deposit, in conformity with § 2°, item II, art. 1° of CMN Resolution 3059/2002, with no impact on net income.

c.5) If the Bank were successful in its lawsuit, we would verify that in September 2005 the Bank would have consumed the entire stock of Tax Loss. Therefore, since the period beginning October 2005, the amount of Income Tax would be being paid in full. There would also be a remaining balance of recoverable tax credit of CSLL of R$ 134,805 thousand.

Additionally, there would be a transfer of resources from the account used to record judicial deposits to that of cash and cash equivalents. The tax credits relating to judicial deposits (principal) would be written off against provision for IRPJ and CSLL and provision for tax risks relating to the restatement of deposits, of the amount of R$ 4,120,922 thousand, would be reverted against net income. The net positive impact of this provision on net income would support the calculation of the BIS ratio by 1.46 p.p (from 15.55 % to 17.01 %).

c.6) If the Bank were unsuccessful in its lawsuit the amounts deposited judicially would be converted into income in favor of the National Treasury. The portions of IRPJ tax credits on tax loss that could be utilized since the period beginning in October 2005, observing the limitation of 30%, would be reclassified to the account representing “IRPJ recoverable” assets. This IRPJ recoverable, which would result from the adjustments to the Statements of Economic-Fiscal Information of Individuals, corresponds to R$ 1,617,174 thousand as of December 2008 and its interest adjustment using the Selic Rate since January 2006 corresponds to R$ 210,606 thousand. This sum adjusts the provision for tax risks in connection with the updating of court deposits (please see item 24.c.5), so that its sum will be sufficient to fully cancel the risk of a likely loss.

c.7) The amounts relating to this matter are as follows:

 

      12.31.2008    12.31.2007
Judicial Deposits    10,998,898    9,666,786

Provisional Measure no. 413 dated January 3, 2008 raised the financial industry’s Social Contribution rate from 9% to 15% as of May 1, 2008, giving rise to an increase in the Social Contribution expenses, as well as in tax credits. Considering that some financial institutions have been going to court with individual lawsuits challenging the increase of the rate of CSLL and that the National Confederation of the Financial System – filed a Direct Unconstitutionality Lawsuit – ADIN, the Multiple Bank has been recognizing tax credits in sufficient amount to annul, the impact on income resulting from the increase of the rate (6%) on the CSLL tax liabilities (current and deferred), a procedure that will be maintained until the pronouncements of ADIN allow the Bank to determine whether the remaining balance of unrecorded CSLL tax credits resulting from the increase of the rate (R$ 1,252,473 thousand) should or should not be recorded.

In 2012    3,538,000    2,922,000
In 2013    3,481,000    2,764,000
Total tax credits    17,313,000    15,052,000
         

The above estimates of realization of tax credits were based on a technical study carried out as of 12.31.2008. In 2008, it was observed the realization of tax credits in Banco do Brasil in the amount of R$ 2,993,963 thousand, corresponding to 99.14% of the consumption forecast of technical study carried out in 12.31.2008 (R$ 3,020,000 thousand).

f) Realization of Nominal Amounts of Credits

The realization of nominal amounts of activated tax credits, considering the re-composition of those written off over the course of the lawsuit (70%), based on a technical study carried out by the Multiple Bank (as of 12.31.2008), is projected for 5 years, in the following proportions:

 

      Tax loss /CSLL  recoverable(1)     Intertemporal  Differences(2)  
In 2009    30   17
In 2010    22   19
In 2011    15   20
In 2012    16   23
In 2013    17   21

This study also shows the tax credits recorded as assets at present values based on the average funding rate of the Multiple Bank.

(1) Projection of consumption associated with the capacity to generate taxable bases of IRPJ and CSLL in subsequent periods.

(2) The consumption capacity results from the movements of provisions (expectation of reversals, write-offs and uses).

g) Other information

Deferred fiscal liabilities or assets, respectively, are formed on positive or negative adjustments resulting from the transactions performed in future settlement markets in the period from 1.1.2005 to 02.28.2006 (validity period of taxation on the cash basis, pursuant to art. 32 of Law 11051/2004 and art. 110 of Law 11196/2005), and will be realized as the transactions are settled.

Basic Government Retirement Plan. The plans offered through PREVI include both defined contribution (Plano Previ Futuro) and defined benefit (Plan n.° 1) plans, the latter having adopted the capitalization method for actuarial calculations. On December 31, 2008 Previ had 147,229 participants, with 34,897 active participants of Benefit Plan n.º1, 48,354 active participants of Plano Previ Futuro and 63,978 retirees (on December 31,2007 there were 142,272 participants, of which: 36,188 were active participants of Benefit Plan n.º1, 42,271 were active participants of Plano Previ Futuro and 63,813 were retired employees).

a.1) The funding of the vested and unvested benefits is summarized as follows:

Participants employed before April 14, 1967, who were not retired and who were not in a position on that date to request their retirement, contemplated in the contract signed on December 24, 1997 between the Bank and PREVI (Plan n.° 1): the sponsor assumes the commitment for the payment of pensions for this group; mathematical reserves ensuring benefits corresponding to such group are fully paid-up at Previ. The retirement benefit of this group is characterized as a defined contribution.

Participants employed between April 15, 1967 and December 23, 1997 (Plan n.° 1): Due to the accumulated surplus, in June 2007, the contributions of participants, beneficiaries (retirees and pensioners) and of the sponsor (Banco do Brasil) were suspended, retroactive to January 2007. This measure will be evaluated every twelve months, with its maintenance depending on the existence of the Special Reserve of Benefit Plan n.° 1, resulting from the superavit in the Plan.

Participants employed from December 24, 1997 (Plano Previ Futuro): active participants contribute to PREVI an amount between 7% and 17% of their contribution salary, which varies based on length of service and the amount of the contribution salary. There is no contribution for retired participants. The sponsor contributes an amount equal to the contributions of the participants, limited to 14% of the total contribution payroll of these participants.

Banco do Brasil is analyzing the impacts of this resolution on its assets.

b) Benefits of sole responsibility of the Bank

Banco do Brasil is responsible for: (a) retirement pensions to founder participants and pension payments to survivors of participants deceased up to April 14, 1967; (b) payment of retirement supplements to the other participants employed by Banco do Brasil who retired up to April 14, 1967 or who, on that date, would have the right through length of service to retire and who had at least 20 years of effective service with the Bank; and (c) increase in the amount of retirement benefits and of pensions in addition to that provided for in the Benefit Plan of Previ, resulting from judicial decisions and from administrative decisions on account of restructuring of the job and salary plan and of incentives created by the Bank. This plan is of the defined benefit type, and adopts the capitalization regime in actuarial valuations, and had 7,942 retirees and pensioners participating on December 31, 2008 (8,217 retirees and pensioners participating on December 31, 2007).

c) Fundação Codesc de Seguridade Social – Fusesc

Following the merger of Besc S.A. and Besc S.A. – Crédito Imobiliário (Bescri) by Banco do Brasil on December 31, 2008, the Bank became a successor to the sponsorship obligations for the following Private Pension Plans: a) Multifuturo I, a Defined Contribution Plan (CD) and b) Defined Benefit Plan (BD).

The normal contribution by the sponsors as of December 2000 was defined as being the sum of the contributions owed by active and assisted participants, in compliance with the contributing parity between sponsors’ normal contributions and participants, as provided for in article 5 of Constitutional Amendment no. 20/1998.

In addition to the funds transferred to Fusesc in order to settle Plano Multifuturo’s deficit, there is a provision of R$ 843 thousand on December 31, 2008 in connection with an actuarial deficit of active employees that remained in the Defined Benefit Plan. The provision’s value was defined in accordance with an agreement entered into with Fusesc on July 23, 2002, Clause 2”a”, item 2.2, as follows:

For those who did not migrate, only the complementary contribution of funds will be paid in, required to cover the actuarial deficit, in proportion to what they contributed (Sponsor and participants) until the effective date of Constitutional Amendment no. 20.

d) CASSI – Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil

The Bank is the sponsor of a Health Plan managed by CASSI – Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil. The main objective is to provide coverage for expenses related to the promotion, protection, recovery and rehabilitation of a member’s health and of his/her inscribed beneficiaries. At December 31, 2008 this plan had 172,456 participants, with 91,508 active and 80,948 retired participants and pensioners (at December 31, 2007 the plan had 165,834 participants, of which 85,531 were active and 80,303 retired participants and pensioners).

A contract was executed between the Bank and CASSI on 11.13.2007 aiming at reformulating the By-laws of Plano de Associados da Caixa de Assistência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil (Plan of Members of the Banco do Brasil Employee Welfare Fund).

In the 1st semester of 2007, the Bank contributed monthly a sum equivalent to 150% of the total contributions from members (active and retired) and pension beneficiaries of employees hired before December 23, 1997. For participants employed after that date the Bank contributed a sum equivalent to 100% of their total contributions. On account of the Agreement between the Bank and CASSI, all the employee groups contributed with 4.5% of the total payroll or of the total retirement or pension plan benefit from November 2007, with effect retroactive to January 2007. Monthly contributions from members and pension beneficiaries amount to 3% of the total payroll or the total retirement or pension plan benefits.

e.1) Benefits of Sole Responsibility of the Bank: Actuarial losses relating to these benefits are being recorded in the same year the actuarial calculation is made because the persons involved are all former employees, and thus there is no remaining length of service to amortize.

e.2) CASSI Actuarial Liability: the actuarial losses relating to this liability are recognized over the average remaining work period estimated for the employees participating in the plan (15.9 years as of 12.31.2007).

e.3) As permitted in CVM Deliberation no. 371/00, the Bank will verify, in recognizing actuarial gains, if there is an amount of actuarial losses not recognized above corridor in other post-employment plans. Should this amount exist, the value to be amortized in the Bank’s income will be the greater between a) the amount of actuarial losses not recognized above the corridor up to the value of the actuarial gain recognized in other plan, and b) the actuarial loss determined according to description in previous items.

g) Impacts on Net Income Resulting from the Review of the Calculations of Actuarial Assets and Liabilities according to CVM Resolution 371/00

Banco do Brasil issued a public announcement on 1.23.2009 notifying the Market that it had reviewed the calculations of its actuarial assets and liabilities according to CVM Resolution 371/00, of the Securities Commission, and as a result of CGPC Resolution nº 26, of the Supplementary Pension Steering Committee, of 9.29.2008.

This review resulted in the accounting of part of the unrecognized actuarial gains of the Retirement and Pension Plan (Benefit Plan nº 1, of Previ), of unrecognized actuarial losses of the Health Care Plan (Cassi) and the respective deferred tax effects in conformity with the publication of Provisional Measure no. 453, of 1.23.2009.

Resolution CVM 371, in line with international accounting principles, determines the recording of a liability when the sum of obligations exceeds the amount of assets from the benefit plan, and of an asset, when the sum of assets exceeds the amount of obligations of the plan. In the latter circumstance, the asset should only be recorded when there is evidence that it may effectively reduce the sponsor’s contributions or that it will be reimbursable in the future, as established in aforesaid Resolution.

Resolution CGPC nº. 26 served to throw light on issues relating to the interpretation of the right of sponsors and of participants to the surplus resources originating from the contributions (and from their yields) of both parties. According to that Resolution, the surplus should be assigned to the sponsors and participants in proportion to the contributions made.

Certain trade associations and other associations filed lawsuits challenging the legality of CGCP Resolution nº. 26, whereas in some of them the request for a preliminary injunction to suspend the effects of aforesaid resolution was refused, while in others the request was granted. Bank management, based on the opinion of its legal advisors, understands that CGCP Resolution nº. 26 is of a legitimate nature, and that the Judiciary will conciliate the understanding in relation to the right and form of division of the surplus as defined in the abovementioned resolution.

In view of the various lawsuits filed in relation to CGPC Resolution nº. 26, Banco do Brasil understands that although this norm has thrown light on some issues theretofore under discussion, mainly as regards the amounts to be assigned to the sponsors and participants in the case of existence of surplus at the supplementary pension entities, this Resolution does not alter the definitions existing in the current regulations, therefore not producing effects on the need for records of the actuarial assets and liabilities required by public institutions, regulated through CVM Resolution 371/00.

As regards the actuarial losses of the Health Care Plan, these are part of the sum that the Bank is required to record in its liabilities, corresponding to the future contributions of all the employees corresponding to their retirement phase. The accrual basis requires that these expenses be recorded while the employees are still active, even if the payments are made monthly, in the future. The Bank had already been appropriating these losses, also in the form of CVM Resolution 371, since 2001, as contained in note nº 26-”d” to its balance sheet of 6.30.2008. Since the aforesaid Resolution allows the quicker recognition of these losses, the Bank opted to do so in this manner.

Fiscal Lawsuits

The Bank is subject to a number of challenges by the tax authorities in relation to taxes, which can give rise to assessments of the jurisdiction in which taxes are incurred or the sum of taxable income or deductible expense. Most of the lawsuits originating from tax assessment notices relate to ISSQN, CPMF, CSLL, IRPJ and IOF, and, some are guaranteed by cash or in properties.

Civil Lawsuits

As of 2007, the most significant lawsuits classified as probable losses are those aimed at the collection of the difference between the actual rates of inflation suffered and the rate utilized for inflation correction of financial investments during the period of the Economic Plans (Collor Plan, Bresser Plan and Summer Plan).

The activities in provision for contingent liabilities were as follows:

Tax Lawsuits

The issues of tax disputes are considered as possible formation of an exempt account and claimed several applications such as: ISSQN, recoveries and other tax obligations from the Federal Revenue Secretariat and Institute of Social Security. The main constraints are caused by:

- Plowed case of violation by the Internal Revenue Service in the face of no withholding tax and non-collection of the IR on the salary allowances paid to employees.

- Plowed case of violation by the National Institute of Social Security, not for the collection of contributions levied on wage allowance, conversions in cash and shares in profits and results of staff.

- Case of violation by plowed Farms Estate Cities in Belo Horizonte (MG) and São Paulo (SP), relating to charges of ISSQN.

Civel Lawsuits

In civil actions in nature there are actions that seek to recover the difference between the inflation and the index used to fix the financial applications during the period of economic plans (Collor Plan, Plan Plan Bresser and Summer).

f) Other Commitments

The Bank is the sponsor of Fundação Banco do Brasil whose purpose is the promotion, support, advancement and sponsorship of educational, cultural, social, philanthropic, and recreational/sporting activities, as well as the promotion of research activities of a technological and scientific nature, and rural and urban community assistance services. During the second semester of 2008, the Bank contributed with R$ 54,166 thousand to the Fundação Banco do Brasil.

Guarantees to third parties, for a fee and with counter-guarantees from the beneficiaries—guarantees, sureties and bonds – amounted to R$ 6,437,279 thousand (R$ 4,140,809 thousand at December 31, 2007). A provision of R$ 40,479 thousand, recorded in “Other Liabilities”, is considered sufficient to cover any potential loss arising on these guarantees.

Available credit lines for loan and lease operations amount to R$ 36,955,149 thousand (R$ 35,419,002 thousand at December 31, 2007).

The confirmed import and export letters of credit total R$ 830,328 thousand (R$ 549,909 thousand at December 31, 2007).

The Bank is the operator of the Fund for Sectorial Investments (FISET), with net assets of R$ 2,195 thousand (R$ 2,225 thousand at December 31, 2007), and is the manager of the Public Service Employee Savings Program (PASEP), with net assets of R$ 1,706,439 thousand (R$ 1,523,502 thousand at December 31, 2007). The Bank guarantees the latter a minimum remuneration equivalent to the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP).

Despite the reduced level of risk to which its assets are subject, the Bank contracts insurance cover for its assets in amounts considered sufficient to cover any losses.

33 – Financial Instruments

The market value of a financial instrument, according to Instruction CVM 566 dated of 12.16.2008, is the value for which the instrument could be exchanged in an ordinary operation in an active market among interested parties, and not corresponding to a compulsory transaction or derived from a liquidation proceeding.

Determination of the Market Value

The Bank has computerized systems that process the positions subject to determination of the market value. If there is an active market, the financial instrument will have its market value determined with a basis on the prices practiced. In the absence of an active market, which is the case of most financial assets and liabilities, the market value is estimated by the quotation of similar financial instruments, or by the net current value of future cash flows adjusted based on the interest rate effective in the market on the balance sheet date.

The internal models utilized for calculation of the future cash flows consist of the construction of a mathematical algorithm that permits a description of the flow for each financial intermediation product.

Market and Liquidity Risk

Fluctuations in interest rates, price of security, price of good, exchange rate of the different currencies, indexes and settlement periods are considered in the determination of the market value of financial instruments.

Criteria utilized for market value determination of financial instruments are detailed below :

Financial Instrument Assets

Short-term interbank investments: The market value was obtained by future cash flows discount, adopting interest rates exercised by the market in similar operations in the balance sheet date.

Securities: Securities and derivative financial instruments are accounted for by the market value, as provided for in BACEN Circular 3068 of 11.08.2001, excluding from such criterion, securities held to maturity. Determination of securities’ market value, including those held to maturity, is obtained according to rates collected at the market.

Loan operations: – Operations remunerated at pre-fixed rates have been estimated through future cash flow discount, adopting for such, interest rates utilized by the Bank for contracting of similar operations in the balance sheet date. For operations of such group remunerated at post-fixed rates, it was considered as market value the book value itself due to equivalence among them.

Financial Instrument Liabilities

Interbank deposits: The market value has been calculated through discount of the difference between future cash flows and rates currently applicable in the pre-fixed operations market. In case of post-fixed operations which maturities did not exceed 30 days, the book value was deemed to be approximately equivalent to the market value.

Time deposits: The same criteria adopted for interbank deposits are utilized in the determination of the market value.

Deposits received under security repurchase agreements: For operations at pre-fixed rates, the market value was determined calculating the discount of the estimated cash flows adopting a discount rate equivalent to the rates applicable in contracting of similar operations in the last market day. For post-fixed operations, book values have been deemed approximately equivalent to market value.

Borrowing and onlendings: Said operations are exclusive to the Bank, without similarity in the market. In face of their specific characteristics, exclusive rates for each fund entered, inexistence of an active market and similar instrument, the market values of such operations are equivalent to the book value.

Other liabilities: Market values have been determined by means of the discounted cash flow, which takes into account interest rates offered in the market for obligations which maturities, risks and terms are similar.

Other financial instruments: Included or not in the balance sheet, book values are approximately equivalent to their correspondent market value.

Derivatives

According to BACEN Circular 3082, of 1.30.2002, derivatives are recorded at market value. Determination of derivatives’ market value is estimated in accordance with an internal pricing model, with the use of the rates disclosed for transactions with similar terms and indices on the fiscal years’ last business day.

Sensitivity Analysis (CVM Instruction no. 475 dated December 17, 2008)

In line with best market practices, Banco do Brasil manages its risks in a dynamic manner, seeking to detect, assess, monitor, and control market risk exposures in its own positions. To this end, the Bank takes into account the risk limits defined by the Strategic Committees and likely scenarios, to act in a timely manner in reversing any occasional adverse results.

In accordance with CMN Resolution no 3464/07 and with Bacen Circular no. 3354/07, and in an effort to manage more efficiently its transactions exposed to market risks, Banco do Brasil separates its transactions as follows:

1) Trading Book: consisting in all the transactions in its own position undertaken as business deals or intended as a hedge for its trading portfolio, for which there is an intention of trading prior to their contractual expiry, subject to normal market conditions and that do not have a non-trading clause.

2) Banking Book: consisting in transactions not classified in the Trading Book and the key feature of which is the intention of keeping these transactions until expiry.

Hence, in view of each portfolio’s specifics, and considering that possible variations in market interest rates do not cause financial impact in the Banking Book, the sensitivity analysis pursuant to CVM Instruction no. 475 dated December 17, 2008 was performed for all the transactions contained in then Trading Book.

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s capital to the reflexes of market trends, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome for the Bank. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario 1: Likely situation. Considering macro-economic factors and market information (BM&F, Bovespa, Andima, etc.). Assumptions employed Real /US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.30 and a -1.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

Scenario 2: Likely situation. Assumptions employed Real/US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.92 and a +25.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

Scenario 3: Likely situation. Assumptions employed Real/US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.92 and a +25.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

In the table below may be seen a summary of the Trading Portfolio profit figures:

 

Risk Factor    Scenario 1     Scenario 2     Scenario 3  
Foreign currency    1,010      (14,157   (8,731
Fixed Interest Rate    2,532      (105,076   (251,150

Other    (811   (2,275   (4,413
Total    4,002      (136.971   (283,178
                  

Trading Portfolio composed of public and private bonds, derivative instruments (futures and options in agricultural commodities), and funds obtained by means of repurchase agreements.

In the case of transactions classified in the Banking Book, appreciations or depreciations resulting from changes in interest rates practiced in the market do not imply in a significant financial and bookkeeping impact on the Bank’s income. This is so because this portfolio is composed chiefly of loan operations (consumer credit, agribusiness, working capital, etc.); retail funding (demand, time, and savings deposits), and securities, which are recorded in the books according to the agreed on rates when contracting these operations. In addition, it should be pointed out that these portfolios have as their key feature the intention of helding the respective positions to maturity, and hence they are not subject to the effects of fluctuating interest rates, or the fact that such transactions are naturally related to other transactions (natural hedge), hence minimizing the reflexes of a stress scenario.

In particular with regard to derivative transactions found in the Banking Book, these do not represent a relevant market risk to Banco do Brasil, as these positions originated mainly to fulfill the following situations:

 

a) Change of the indexation of funding and lending transactions performed to meet customer needs;

 

b) “Tax Hedge” consisting in eliminating the volatility risk to the Bank’s profit figures owing to the fiscal effect on foreign currency variations in connection with overseas investments (gains in exchange variations on overseas investments are not taxed, and similarly losses do not create tax deductions). As a result, any exchange rate variation will affect the account that records the derivative contrary to the effect recorded in the investment account, i.e.: the exchange variation’s effect will be zero;

 

c) Market risk hedge with purpose and efficacy as described in Note no. 9b. Also in this transaction, the interest and exchange rate variations have no effects on the Bank’s income.

Net exposures, at market values, with derivative transactions in the Banking Book reflected in December 31, 2008: a) a short pre-fixed interest position in the region of R$ 1.7 billion employed as an economic hedge, in order to support commercial asset revenues, loan operations, time deposits, etc.); b) a short foreign currency position in the region of R$ 1.6 billion, with a portion of this volume employed chiefly in tax hedge transactions; and c) a short position in other interest rate coupons (price index, TR, TJLP) in the region of R$ 630 million, also employed as an economic hedge in support of commercial assets income.

Moreover, Pursuant to Bacen Circular no. 3365 dated September 12, 2007, Banco do Brasil calculates the portion of capital to cover exposure risks subject to interest rate variations of the transactions classified in the Banking Book. To this end, it employs a methodology based on VaR – Value-at-Risk with a simulation background, with a 99% reliability level and a 10-day time horizon, which method is regularly assessed by means of backtesting tools.

The Value at Risk (VaR) is a measure of maximum expected loss in monetary values, under normal market conditions, in a determined line period, with a chosen confidence interval for reference purposes. Banking Book’s VaR for the Economic-Financial Consolidation of Banco do Brasil amounts to R$ 2,793 million on 12.31.2008.

Market risk management of the Banking Book employing the VaR model, allows Banco do Brasil to assess its positions’ sensitivity, bearing in mind that the methodology is capable of reflecting the interdependence among the Portfolio’s risk variables.

Banco do Brasil did not enter into any transaction likely to be classified as an exotic derivative, as described in CVM Instruction no. 475 - Attachment II.

33 – Financial Instruments

The market value of a financial instrument, according to Instruction CVM 566 dated of 12.16.2008, is the value for which the instrument could be exchanged in an ordinary operation in an active market among interested parties, and not corresponding to a compulsory transaction or derived from a liquidation proceeding.

Determination of the Market Value

The Bank has computerized systems that process the positions subject to determination of the market value. If there is an active market, the financial instrument will have its market value determined with a basis on the prices practiced. In the absence of an active market, which is the case of most financial assets and liabilities, the market value is estimated by the quotation of similar financial instruments, or by the net current value of future cash flows adjusted based on the interest rate effective in the market on the balance sheet date.

The internal models utilized for calculation of the future cash flows consist of the construction of a mathematical algorithm that permits a description of the flow for each financial intermediation product.

Market and Liquidity Risk

Fluctuations in interest rates, price of security, price of good, exchange rate of the different currencies, indexes and settlement periods are considered in the determination of the market value of financial instruments.

Criteria utilized for market value determination of financial instruments are detailed below :

Financial Instrument Assets

Short-term interbank investments: The market value was obtained by future cash flows discount, adopting interest rates exercised by the market in similar operations in the balance sheet date.

Securities: Securities and derivative financial instruments are accounted for by the market value, as provided for in BACEN Circular 3068 of 11.08.2001, excluding from such criterion, securities held to maturity. Determination of securities’ market value, including those held to maturity, is obtained according to rates collected at the market.

Loan operations: – Operations remunerated at pre-fixed rates have been estimated through future cash flow discount, adopting for such, interest rates utilized by the Bank for contracting of similar operations in the balance sheet date. For operations of such group remunerated at post-fixed rates, it was considered as market value the book value itself due to equivalence among them.

Financial Instrument Liabilities

Interbank deposits: The market value has been calculated through discount of the difference between future cash flows and rates currently applicable in the pre-fixed operations market. In case of post-fixed operations which maturities did not exceed 30 days, the book value was deemed to be approximately equivalent to the market value.

Time deposits: The same criteria adopted for interbank deposits are utilized in the determination of the market value.

Deposits received under security repurchase agreements: For operations at pre-fixed rates, the market value was determined calculating the discount of the estimated cash flows adopting a discount rate equivalent to the rates applicable in contracting of similar operations in the last market day. For post-fixed operations, book values have been deemed approximately equivalent to market value.

Borrowing and onlendings: Said operations are exclusive to the Bank, without similarity in the market. In face of their specific characteristics, exclusive rates for each fund entered, inexistence of an active market and similar instrument, the market values of such operations are equivalent to the book value.

Other liabilities: Market values have been determined by means of the discounted cash flow, which takes into account interest rates offered in the market for obligations which maturities, risks and terms are similar.

Other financial instruments: Included or not in the balance sheet, book values are approximately equivalent to their correspondent market value.

Derivatives

According to BACEN Circular 3082, of 1.30.2002, derivatives are recorded at market value. Determination of derivatives’ market value is estimated in accordance with an internal pricing model, with the use of the rates disclosed for transactions with similar terms and indices on the fiscal years’ last business day.

Sensitivity Analysis (CVM Instruction no. 475 dated December 17, 2008)

In line with best market practices, Banco do Brasil manages its risks in a dynamic manner, seeking to detect, assess, monitor, and control market risk exposures in its own positions. To this end, the Bank takes into account the risk limits defined by the Strategic Committees and likely scenarios, to act in a timely manner in reversing any occasional adverse results.

In accordance with CMN Resolution no 3464/07 and with Bacen Circular no. 3354/07, and in an effort to manage more efficiently its transactions exposed to market risks, Banco do Brasil separates its transactions as follows:

1) Trading Book: consisting in all the transactions in its own position undertaken as business deals or intended as a hedge for its trading portfolio, for which there is an intention of trading prior to their contractual expiry, subject to normal market conditions and that do not have a non-trading clause.

2) Banking Book: consisting in transactions not classified in the Trading Book and the key feature of which is the intention of keeping these transactions until expiry.

Hence, in view of each portfolio’s specifics, and considering that possible variations in market interest rates do not cause financial impact in the Banking Book, the sensitivity analysis pursuant to CVM Instruction no. 475 dated December 17, 2008 was performed for all the transactions contained in then Trading Book.

In order to determine the sensitivity of the Bank’s capital to the reflexes of market trends, simulations were performed with three likely scenarios, two of which with an ensuing adverse outcome for the Bank. The scenarios employed are seen as follows:

Scenario 1: Likely situation. Considering macro-economic factors and market information (BM&F, Bovespa, Andima, etc.). Assumptions employed Real /US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.30 and a -1.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

Scenario 2: Likely situation. Assumptions employed Real/US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.92 and a +25.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

Scenario 3: Likely situation. Assumptions employed Real/US dollar exchange rate of R$ 2.92 and a +25.0% parallel shock in risk variables, based on market conditions seen on December 31, 2008.

In the table below may be seen a summary of the Trading Portfolio profit figures:

Trading Portfolio composed of public and private bonds, derivative instruments (futures and options in agricultural commodities), and funds obtained by means of repurchase agreements.

In the case of transactions classified in the Banking Book, appreciations or depreciations resulting from changes in interest rates practiced in the market do not imply in a significant financial and bookkeeping impact on the Bank’s income. This is so because this portfolio is composed chiefly of loan operations (consumer credit, agribusiness, working capital, etc.); retail funding (demand, time, and savings deposits), and securities, which are recorded in the books according to the agreed on rates when contracting these operations. In addition, it should be pointed out that these portfolios have as their key feature the intention of helding the respective positions to maturity, and hence they are not subject to the effects of fluctuating interest rates, or the fact that such transactions are naturally related to other transactions (natural hedge), hence minimizing the reflexes of a stress scenario.

In particular with regard to derivative transactions found in the Banking Book, these do not represent a relevant market risk to Banco do Brasil, as these positions originated mainly to fulfill the following situations:

 

a) Change of the indexation of funding and lending transactions performed to meet customer needs;

 

b) “Tax Hedge” consisting in eliminating the volatility risk to the Bank’s profit figures owing to the fiscal effect on foreign currency variations in connection with overseas investments (gains in exchange variations on overseas investments are not taxed, and similarly losses do not create tax deductions). As a result, any exchange rate variation will affect the account that records the derivative contrary to the effect recorded in the investment account, i.e.: the exchange variation’s effect will be zero;

 

c) Market risk hedge with purpose and efficacy as described in Note no. 9b. Also in this transaction, the interest and exchange rate variations have no effects on the Bank’s income.

Net exposures, at market values, with derivative transactions in the Banking Book reflected in December 31, 2008: a) a short pre-fixed interest position in the region of R$ 1.7 billion employed as an economic hedge, in

order to support commercial asset revenues, loan operations, time deposits, etc.); b) a short foreign currency position in the region of R$ 1.6 billion, with a portion of this volume employed chiefly in tax hedge transactions; and c) a short position in other interest rate coupons (price index, TR, TJLP) in the region of R$ 630 million, also employed as an economic hedge in support of commercial assets income.

Moreover, Pursuant to Bacen Circular no. 3365 dated September 12, 2007, Banco do Brasil calculates the portion of capital to cover exposure risks subject to interest rate variations of the transactions classified in the Banking Book. To this end, it employs a methodology based on VaR – Value-at-Risk with a simulation background, with a 99% reliability level and a 10-day time horizon, which method is regularly assessed by means of backtesting tools.

The Value at Risk (VaR) is a measure of maximum expected loss in monetary values, under normal market conditions, in a determined line period, with a chosen confidence interval for reference purposes. Banking Book’s VaR for the Economic-Financial Consolidation of Banco do Brasil amounts to R$ 2,793 million on 12.31.2008.

Market risk management of the Banking Book employing the VaR model, allows Banco do Brasil to assess its positions’ sensitivity, bearing in mind that the methodology is capable of reflecting the interdependence among the Portfolio’s risk variables.

Banco do Brasil did not enter into any transaction likely to be classified as an exotic derivative, as described in CVM Instruction no. 475 – Attachment II.
