Capital
Bradescos Accounting Stockholders Equity in September 2007 totaled R$29.214 billion, while the Reference Stockholders Equity reached R$38.168 billion. Thus, the Capital Adequacy Ratio (BIS) stood at 14.2% in consolidated figures. Considering that the minimum ratio established in Brazil is 11%, this margin enables the increase in the Loan Portfolio by R$78.3 billion. The Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen), through the Article 9 of Circular 3,367, provides the option for the exclusion prerogative, for purposes of determination of the Capital Adequacy Ratio, of the long position in foreign currency, including tax effects, carried out with the purpose of providing hedge for the interest in investments abroad. If Bradesco opted for this prerogative, the Capital Adequacy Ratio on September 30, 2007 would have been of 16.95%.
Unrealized Gains
The unrealized gains, represented by the difference between market values of assets and liabilities and their respective book values, stood at R$4.175 billion in September/07 against R$2.627 billion in September/06, a growth of R$1.548 billion (note 32b).

Up to September 2007, the client base grew by 23.6% compared to September 2006, totaling 21.930 million clients. Compared to the previous quarter, there was a 14.2% expansion. Revenues (premiums issued, income from private pension plans and revenues from certificated savings plans) reached the amount of R$15.304 billion in September/07, against R$13.360 billion obtained in the same period of 2006, representing a 14.6% growth. Bradescos insurance market share stood at 25.4% (as of August/07). Technical Provisions totaled R$55.319 billion until September 2007, a 36.1% market share (as of August/07).
In the insurance segment, according to information disclosed by the Superintendence of Private Insurance (Susep) and the Brazilian Agency of Supplementary Health (ANS), Bradesco collected, up to August 2007, R$11.2 billion in premiums and maintained the rankings leadership with a 25.4% market share. In the same period, R$44.2 billion in premiums was collected by the insurance sector.
Bradesco Saúde
Comparing September 2007 with the same period of the previous year, Bradesco Saúde continues to maintain an outstanding position in the corporate segment (source: ANS). More and more companies consider Health and Dental Insurance as the best alternatives for their medical, hospital and dental assistance. Currently, Bradesco Saúde has more than 2.7 million clients, and 2.5 million of which belong to the corporate segment.
The large share of corporate insurance in the total portfolio of Bradesco Saúde (90.07% in September 2007) represents the high specialization and personalization level of the Insurance Company in the assistance to the corporate insurance, which is the main competitive advantage in the current market of Supplementary Health.
More than 17 thousand companies in Brazil have insurance of Bradesco Saúde. Out of the 100 largest companies in Brazil, 38 of them are clients of the Insurance Company (source: Exame Melhores e Maiores magazine as of August 2007).
In this quarter, the new version of SIGE Managerial Information System of the Stipulator was implemented, an important tool for the management of health and dental insurance of corporate clients of Bradesco Saúde.
Bradesco Auto/RE
Bradesco Group maintained an outstanding position among the main insurance companies of the Brazilian Insurance Market of Basic Lines, with a share of 8.5% in the global revenue in the market in August-07.
The Transportation segment continues to be the main focus, with important investments for the leverage of new businesses, mainly the qualification of Transportation Product Managers, who will be based in the main economic centers of Brazil, and the creation of Bradesco Cargo System, a complete Transportation Insurance Management System on the Internet.
In the mass insurance area of Basic Lines, whose insurance is focused on individual clients, self-employed people and small and medium-sized companies, the launch of new products and the continuous improvement of processes and systems have contributed to the growth of the client base, mainly in residential and equity insurance, such as Bradesco Seguro Residencial and Bradesco Seguro Empresarial. These products were reformulated and a new issuance system on the Internet was developed, providing more agility and efficiency in the contracting process.
In the Auto/RCF Segments, despite the strong competition, the Insurance Company has increased the client base, mainly due to the creation of products targeted at specific publics, such as: Bradesco Seguro Exclusivo Cliente Bradesco, for account holders of Banco Bradesco; Auto Mulher, for women; and Auto Corretor, for Insurance Brokers.
One of the positive factors for the next quarter is the growth of sales of new vehicles, which contribute to the increase of the insurance production of this segment.
The share of the Grupo Bradesco Seguros in the Auto/RCF portfolio of the market, in August 2007, was of 15.4% .

Bradesco Vida e Previdência
Thanks to its solid structure, the policy of innovative products and the trust conquered in the market, Bradesco Vida e Previdência maintained the leadership in the two markets it operates, with a 37.7% share in the revenue of private pension plans and VGBL and 15.5% of people insurance premiums.
It is also a leader in VGBL plans, with a 41.6% market share, and in PGBL plans, with a 27.1% market share (source: FENAPREVI Brazilian Federation of Private Pension Plans and Life Data accumulated until August 2007).
The number of clients of Bradesco Vida e Previdência reached, in September 2007, a 37.2% growth compared to September 2006, exceeding 1.8 million participants of the private pension plans and VGBL and 12.7 million of life and personal accident insurance holders. This expressive growth was pushed by the strength of the Bradesco Branch and by the commercialization and management policies.
The technical provisions, in September 2007, totaled R$47.4 billion, with a 21.0% increase compared to September 2006. The Private Pension Plan and VGBL Investment Portfolio, in August 2007, totaled R$48.0 billion, responsible for 41.4% of the resources of the whole market.
Bradesco Capitalização
We also highlight the material performance of social-environmental products such as Pé Quente Bradesco SOS Mata Atlântica which, in addition to allowing the formation of financial reserves, contributes to reforestation projects of Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica, Pé Quente Bradesco GP Ayrton Senna, whose competitive advantage is the allocation of a percentage of the amount collected with the certificated savings plans to social projects of the Instituto Ayrton Senna and O Câncer de Mama no Alvo da Moda. By acquiring this product, the client contributes to the development of projects of prevention, early diagnostic and treatment of cancer in Brazil, for part of the amount collected goes to IBCC Brazilian Institute of Cancer Control.
The portfolio of active certificated savings plans increased from 13.9 million recorded in September 2006 to 14.1 million in September 2007. Out of this total, 68.1% are represented by certificated savings plans of the type assignment of draw right, such as Bradesco Cartões, Bradesco Vida e Previdência, Bradesco Auto/Re etc. Given that the purpose of this type of certificated savings plan is to add value to the product of the partner company, or even encourage the payment of its clients, the certificated savings plans have reduced effectiveness term and grace period as well as its average ticket.

The third quarter of 2007, despite the turbulence, showed a very resistant Brazilian economy
(Comments from the Economic Research and Studies Department)
In the third quarter some turbulence in the international markets affected the scenario, with risks of a systemic crisis in the mortgage markets in the United States.
Different from previous crises, during the turbulence, interest rates in Brazil were reduced, the economy kept a low volatility and the confidence of consumers and businessmen was not affected. In addition, Brazil had an upgrade by the risk rating
Agency Moodys, suggesting more and more reasonable chances to obtain the investment grade during 2008 at least by one of the three main rating agencies. The country went through a practical resistance test to crises.

Despite the uncertainties about the global downturn, the behavior of commodities exported by Brazil was influenced by the Chinese demand and of by other emerging countries which currently, together, are similar to the importance of the United States in the global economy. That helps explain the real appreciation in the recent period. The international liquidity, affected by the turbulences, impacted flows of direct investments and the appetite of investors for IPOs (Initial Public Offerings), which were launched in Brazil. The exchange rate was maintained and tends to be maintained in a level ranging from R$1.70/US$ and R$1.80/US$ contributing, on one hand, to the inflationary stability (3.7% of the Broad Consumer Price Index - IPCA in 2007 and 2008) and, on the other, for the gradual reduction of the trade balance. We expect a trade balance of US$40.3 billion in 2007 and of US$32.3 billion next year. Imports grow at rates higher than exports.
The economic activity had an upturn and we did not identify factors in the short term that can change this path. The GDP should grow 4.9% this year and 4.4% next year. The banking loan, on its turn, grows firmly as a proportion of the GDP (it might reach 34% at the end of the year) with a delinquency level very satisfactory both for individuals and corporates. The dynamic job market from the point of view of population working and actual salary explains this healthy behavior of the loan expansion. Banking interest, which had a drop until September, should undergo an interruption possibly until the end of the first quarter. We are working with a Selic rate of 11.25% at the end of this year and of 10.25% at the end of next year.
