1. On November 3, 2008, Itaú and Unibanco signed the agreement for merger of their financial operations. It was the formal beginning of the building of the largest private conglomerate in the Southern hemisphere, with a market value among the 20 largest financial institutions in the world. Itaú Unibanco’s priority effort is to consolidate the integration of its several businesses, which are in every segment of the financial activity, strengthening the presence of the new bank in the market and having a positive outlook on the business expansion. The unification process of the institutions is led by the Superior Integration Committee, which supervises the activities of 19 task forces, established in November 2008 to map processes and identify the best practices of each institution.

Consolidated net income reached R$ 43.7 billion as of December 31, 2008. Basel ratio at the end of the period stood at 16.1%, based on operational financial statements consolidated.

4. The performance of shares was affected by the international financial crisis and the fall of Stock Exchanges all over the world. Accordingly, Itaú Holding’s preferred shares fell 28.8% as compared to the quotation of December 31, 2007. Unibanco’s preferred shares fell 25.5%, whereas Ibovespa index dropped 41.3%. The market value of Itaú Unibanco at Stock Exchange was R$ 108 billion at the end of December.

Based on the prudent criteria adopted by management, additional provisions were recognized for loan operations in the amount of R$ 4.7 billion, considering the current economic environment and the uncertainties related thereto, and including an amount referring to risks associated with a more pessimistic scenario for 2009/2010, not yet fully covered by the history of scenarios noted in the recent past.

11. Itaú Unibanco will give continuity in the commitments assumed with society. Both of them are signatories of the Equator Principles since 2004, and apply social and environment criteria for granting credit to legal entities. By adhering to the Global Pact, they adopted in their business practices ten basic principles in the areas of human rights, labor relations, environmental protection and anti-corruption.

Unibanco Asset Management (UAM) adhered to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in July 2008.

12. In the social and cultural areas, we highlight the projects of Itaú and Unibanco’s foundations and institutes. Instituto Unibanco and Fundação Itaú Social activities are focused on education, strengthening their transforming capacity. In 2008, six million students from elementary schools and 202 thousand teachers took part in the Brazilian Portuguese Language Olympiad – “Escrevendo o Futuro” (Writing the Future), a program of Fundação Itaú Social transformed into a federal government’s education public policy. The “Entre Jovens” (among young people), a partnership between Instituto Unibanco and the State Education Departments, qualifies university students to act as tutors to high school students with learning deficiency. Instituto Itaú Cultural’s mission is to make access to culture more democratic. Thus in 2008 the institute organized 299 cultural events in all regions of Brazil, and 39 international events held in Argentina, Chile, China, Mexico and Uruguay. In 2008, social and cultural investments of Itaú and Unibanco totaled R$ 159 million.

2009 is expected to be a challenging year, but we are entirely confident on the soundness of the Brazilian financial system and on the qualification and capacity of this new bank to overcome challenges and provide its customers with a wider range of services to meet their various demands, contributing to the development and the economic activities of Brazil. At this time of important challenges in the global economic environment and financial market, we reaffirm our belief in the future of Brazil.
