Circular No. 3,714. These led to the revision of macro-prudential measures initiated in 2010. These regulations have affected the reduction in PRMR with respect to credit risk exposures subject to the
calculation of capital requirements under the standardized approach (RWACPAD), as of the third quarter of 2014.
c. payment ability in relation to the financial commitments assumed
Banco do Brasil maintains liquidity levels to meet its commitments in Brazil and abroad, as result of its
broad and diversified funding base, the quality of its assets, the capillarity of its network overseas and its ability to access the international capital market.
Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board of Directors, meeting the requirements of national banking supervision and the other countries where the BB operates.
In 2017, there was a decrease in the Liquidity Assets driven mainly by the decrease of securities purchased under resale agreements.

of credit (LCA/LCI) and demand deposits. In addition, to take advantage of the opportunities of his
position in government securities, Banco do Brasil can raise funds in the interbank market offering these assets as collateral.

e. funding sources for working capital and investments in non-current assets to be used
to cover liquidity deficits
Banco do Brasil does not have a liquidity shortage. Items 10.1.c and 10.1.d present analysis of the payment capacity and of liquidity, respectively.
Banco do Brasil has management tools that allow early identification of scenarios indicating possible liquidity shortfalls.
Thus, if necessary, the BB may use mechanisms for increasing the volume of resources such as
increased rates to raising time deposits, short-term money market and bond issues in local and international markets to rebalance availability, thus ensuring the continuity of their business.
f. indebtedness levels and characteristics of such debts
Indebtedness levels and characteristics of such debts, also describing: (i) relevant loan and
financing agreements; (ii) other long-term relationships with financial institutions; (iii) degree of subordination among debts; and (iv) any restrictions imposed on the issuer,
especially in relation to indebtedness limits and the contracting of new debts, to the distribution of dividends, to the divestiture of assets, to the issuance of new securities and
to the sale of controlling interest.
Banco do Brasil issues bonds in the international and domestic capital market, using both non-subordinated and subordinated debt, and hybrid capital and debt instruments. The objective is funding
free resources and to reinforce the Bank's Referential Equity with those resources qualifying as Capital.
These issuances have institutional investors, financial institutions and private banking clients as a target audience.
The subordinated debt, such as Subordinate Certificates of Deposit (CDB), Subordinated Debt abroad,
Subordinated Financial Letters and FCO resources that comprise the Tier II capital, their payment is subordinated to other liabilities of the Bank except those considered Tier I Capital.
The Hybrid Capital Debt Instruments (IHCD) issued abroad, in the form of perpetual bonds, allowed by the Central Bank, are classified as Tier I capital and its payment is subordinated to other liabilities, with
the exception of the elements considered as core capital. From the total perpetual bonds issued, R$22,908 million composes the Reference Equity on 12/31/2017 (R$22,565 million on 12/31/2016).
On August 28, 2014, the Hybrid Capital Instrument of R$ 8.1 billion, which, until then was classified as additional Tier I capital was authorized by the Central Bank to compose the Reference Equity as core capital. This instrument is subordinated to other liabilities in the institutions’s dissolution event.
Furthermore, for composition purposes of its Referential Equity, Banco do Brasil classifies the resources

including the appropriate interest, is recorded as an asset for repo operations, considering the economic
nature of the transaction as a loan granted by the Bank.
The assets of repo operations are subdivided into: (i) guaranted by securities not repledged/re-sold
(own resources), which is comprised by securities purchased under resale agreement and not
transferred, i.e. not sold with repurchase agreement and; (ii) guaranted by securities that have been repledged/re-sold (third-party), which includes the securities acquired with resale agreements and
transferred, i.e. sold with a repurchase agreement.

yearly decrease. This variation was due the: a) R$1,799 million decrease in debt and equity instruments, highlight to: (i) R$1,187 million in foreign government bonds, R$460 million in Brazilian federal
government bonds, R$58 million in securities issued by non-financial companies, R$41 million in securities issued by financial companies and R$33 million in investments in mutual funds; and b)

million in advances on exchange contracts, R$1,786 million in credit card operations, R$1,600 million in rural and agroindustrial financing, and R$478 million in real estate financing. These movements are basically explained by the higher volume of settlements in relation to new contracts in the period.
In 2016, the loans to customers decreased. This variation is mainly due to the reduction of: (i) R$36,404
million in loans and bills discounted, (ii) R$34,972 million in financing operations, (iii) R$3,868 million in forward exchange contracts and, (v) R$3,092 million in others receivables with loan characteristics,

variation is mainly due to a positive net inflow of time deposits.

with Caixa Econômica Federal (R$2,800 million) resources;

Loans to customers
Revenue from loans to customers fell in 2017 due to less income in Securities Purchased under Resale
Agreements, influenced mainly to exchange rate variation (12.08% depreciation in 2017 over 3.18% appreciation in 2016), in our Viena subsidiary. Besides exchange rate, there has been rates and balance reduction, mainly in BB Giro Empresa Flex, BB giro and Credit Card.
In 2016, revenue from loan to customers fell due to the reduction in financing revenue, influenced by
exchange variation (16.5% fall in 2016 over 47.0% in 2015), partially offset by the increase in average balance e average interest rate. Also, there was a positive effect from the increase in revenue with loans and bills discounted due to the increase in balance and rates, especially in direct consumer credit.
Securities purchased under resale agreements
Revenues from repurchase agreements decreased in 2017 driven by a 29.1% drop in effective TMS compared to 2016. This effect was partially offset by the increase in the average balance of investments in repo operations.
In 2016, revenues from repurchase agreements grew due to the 5.7% increase in the effective TMS and also to higher balance.
It is worth mentioning that the Bank invests in securities with resale agreements and raises funds selling securities with repurchase agreements, comprised mainly of federal securities. Resale and repurchase
agreements are considered as financial transactions with guarantee, and are recorded at acquisition or sale value, plus interest incurred.
Therefore, securities sold under repurchase agreements are not written-off because the Bank holds almost all of property risks and benefits. The amount of cash received, including recognized interest, is
recognized as a liability for repurchase and resale agreements, reflecting the economic substance of the transaction as a Bank debt.
Securities acquired with resale agreements are not recognized. The amount paid, including recognized interest, is recorded as an asset from repurchase and resale agreements, reflecting the economic nature of the transaction as a loan granted by the Bank.
Interest expenses
Interest expenses fell in 2017, influenced by the decrease in liabilities with financial institutions, mainly due to exchange rate variation (the dollar over the euro - depreciation of 12.08% in 2017 over an
appreciation of 3.18% in the same period of 2016) and over the pound sterling (depreciation of 8.37% in 2017 over appreciation of 19.69% in 2016) in interbank deposits
In 2016, interest expenses fell 22.3% over the previous year. This decrease is explained by the fall in
expenses from securities issuance, partially offset by the increase in expenses of amounts payable to financial institutions and obligations by issuing securities.

of the average balance and 5.7% in the effective TMS in the period, with an increase of 18.3% (R$ 6,507 million) in and 10.1% (R$ 620 million) in own portfolio expenses.

Deposits of clients
In 2017, the reduction in customer deposits expenses was driven by the decrease in expenses with time
deposits and savings deposits, due in particular to lower rates.
There was no significant change in customer deposits expenses in 2016.
Liabilities from securities issuance and other obligations
Liabilities from securities expenses increased in 2017, impacted by the variation of the Real over the US
dollar (depreciation of 1.50% in 2017 versus 16.54% appreciation in the same period of 2016).
Disregarding this effect, there was a reduction in expenses with Agribusiness Letters of Credit (LCA) due
to the drop in rates and the average balance.
In 2016, the reduction in expenses of this grouping was mainly due to the decrease in obligations with
onlendings and issuance of securities. This was due to a 12.4% fall in bonds issuance and by 7.8% in
onlendings.

Net expenses with provision for losses with loans to customers
Net expenses provision decreased R$5,556 million in 2017, mainly influenced by: R$3,754 million in financing and R$1,492 million in rural and agroindustrial financing.
In 2016, net expenses with provisions for losses with loans to customers increased mainly due to the higher loan provisions reinforcement of R$5,131 million, mainly influenced by: R$3,045 million in
financing, R$1,919 million in agribusiness financing, R$660 million in loans and discounted securities, mainly due to the portfolio risk, partially offset by a R$580 million decrease in rural financing.
The provision for losses with loans to customers in the collective analysis, comprising most of the expenses for the provision for losses with loans to customers, is calculated based on estimates that
consider the evolution of the loan portfolio, historical losses, current economic scenarios, the balance of recovered and renegotiated defaulted operations, and assumptions and judgments of the Bank’s Management.
The provisions for impairment of loans recorded for the period were considered by Management to be sufficient to cover losses incurred with these loans.

Fee Income
In 2017, the net income with fees and commissions grew 5.9%. This result was influenced by the
increase in customer relationship and higher products and services use, with special attention to the strategy of intensification of digital channel as an instrument to provide more convenience for our
customers. Also noteworthy was the 22.5% increase in fees related to fund management, reflecting the
increase in managed funds that went from R$731 billion in December 2016 to R$864 billion in December 2017, up 18.2% in 12 months.
In 2016, the fee income increase was mainly influenced by account fee, asset management and
insurance, pension and capitalization bonds sales commission. This movement was partially offset by
the fall in cards revenue, mainly due to Cateno assignment rights, a company established in February 2015.

In 2016, the decrease in other operating revenues was due to lower in gains/losses on the assets
disposal, mainly due to the gain recorded in 2015 because of the strategic partnership between BB Elo Cartões and Cielo in the electronic payment business to Cateno establishment, resulting in investments

R$1,400 million in provision constitution related to the PEAI. The increase aforementioned was partially offset by the R$812 million decrease in expenses with the profit sharing payment provision and R$511

Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses decreased 41.4% in 2017, an R$3,756 million decrease. As a highlight, the 82.6% reduction in remuneration expenses for Banco Postal transactions, due to the new contractual
model in force since December, 2016, and the non-recognition of losses on investment conversion abroad, which recorded gains in the period.
In 2016, other operating expenses increased because of higher losses from foreign investment conversion, higher expenses with amortization of public sector payroll management fees, and expenses related to the actuarial obligations, mainly due to the higher Deficit in Plan I - Previ.

Tax expenses
Reflecting the increase in taxable income in the period, tax expenses increased by R$1.4 billion in 2017,
a 63.8% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. Despite the reduction in current tax
expenses, deferred tax expenses varied significantly, reflecting the consumption of activated tax credits because of the increase in the CSLL rate in 2015.
Tax expenses fell in 2016. Despite a R$491 million increase in current taxes, deferred taxes decreased by
R$7,401 million, mainly due to the higher provision for loan losses to customers and the activation of tax credits arising from the CSLL rate increase, in 2015.

On December 27, 2016, BB Corretora de Seguros and Administradora de Bens SA (BB Corretora)
incorporated BB Cor Participações SA (BB Cor) to its shareholders' equity pursuant to the Protocol and Justification of Merger.
The net assets incorporated were valued at book value on the base date of the transaction, December 27, 2016, in the amount of R $ 26,976 thousand.
The merger is justified by the lack of maintenance of BB Cor verified in the process of reviewing the
business model in the segment of distribution of security products, and a result of the lack of prospects for the company to develop operating activities.
As a natural consequence, BB Corretora became the successor to BB Cor's universal title in all its assets, rights and obligations, fully assuming its assets.
Considering that BB Seguridade is the only shareholder of the merged entity on the date of the merger, there was no share exchange ratio s non-controlling interest in the merged entity's shares, and therefore there is no change in the share capital of BB Seguridade.

without nominal value, in the same proportion of the number of shares of all existing species, each shareholder being entitled to exercise the preemptive right over shares identical to those he owned.
The approval of the capital increase resulted in the acquisition by BB Seguros of 44,999 ON shares and 90,000 PN shares, in the total amount of R$3,375 thousand, and by Odontoprev of 45,001 common shares,
in the total amount of R $ 1,125 thousand. The shareholding of BB Seguros in Brasildental remains unchanged compared to the date of incorporation of the company.

participating in other companies, the partner, shareholder or shareholder, acquired 30% of the capital
stock of Stelo, through capital increase and issuance of new shares by Stelo. The corporate motion
consolidated the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding of April 15, 2014 between Alelo and
Cielo, controlling the Alliance.
Taking into consideration the Bank's indirect interests in Cielo and Alelo, through BB Banco de Investimento
S.A. and BB Elo Tarjetas Participações S.A., respectively, the Bank's total indirect equity interest in Stelo
is 43.61%.
Stelo started its operations in 2015 with the authorization of the regulatory and supervisory bodies.
BB Elo Cartões e Cielo
On February 27, 2015, after approval by the respective regulatory, supervisory and
supervisory bodies, and observing compliance with all contractual conditions precedent to
the closing of the transaction, BB Elo Tarjetas and Cielo completed the formation of the
strategic partnership, constituting a new company called Cateno Gestão de Contas de
Pagamento SA (Cateno).
According to the terms of the Agreement, the new company consisted of an intangible asset
represented by the right, transferred by BB Elo Tarjetas, to explore the activities of
management of transactions of postpaid payment accounts and management of the
functionality of purchases through debit of payment arrangements, according to the rules
of the regulatory framework in the electronic payment sector. In addition, the new business
has among its objectives to establish partnerships with other partners in order to take
advantage of opportunities in a niche market related to electronic means of payment,
seeking synergy gains and optimizing the structuring of new businesses in the segment.
The contribution of this intangible asset to Cateno's shareholders' equity represented R$
11,572 million, according to a technical report made by an independent company. On the
other hand, as well as for purposes of equalization of the corporate interests, Cateno
delivered to BB Elo Cards the amounts of R$ 4,641 million in currency, related to the
payment of taxes levied on the transaction, and R$ 3,459 million in debentures of Heaven.
The amount of R$ 3,472 million was retained to form the shareholding of BB Elo Cards in
Cateno.
The total share capital was divided at the rate of 30.00% for BB Elo Tarjetas and 70.00%
for Cielo. However, taking into account the Bank's indirect participation in Cielo, through
BB Banco de Investimento SA, Banco do Brasil's total indirect equity interest in Cateno on
the acquisition date was 50.13%.

the report containing qualifications and/or emphases.
10.5. Critical accounting practices
Indicate and comment on the critical accounting practices adopted, specially stressing the
Management's accounting estimates on uncertain and material issues for the description of the financial and income position, that require subjective or complex judgments, such as: (a)
impairment of financial assets; (b) contingencies; (c) revenue and expenses recognition; (d)
tax credits; (e) long-term assets; (f) useful life of non-current assets; (g) pension plans; h) conversion adjustments on foreign currency; i) environmental recovery costs;(j) criteria for
non-financial assets impairment tests and (k) financials instruments.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with international accounting standards - IFRS requires management to use judgment in the determination and recording of
accounting estimates, which affect the recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, when applicable. Significant policies and significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates and
assumptions include provision for losses on loans to customers, provision for labor, tax and civil claims,
recognition of income and expenses, deferred tax assets, long-lived assets, useful lives and value residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverable amount of financial
assets and non-financial assets, fair value of financial instruments, assets and liabilities related to post-employment benefits and other provisions. The definitive values of the transactions involving these
estimates are only known at the time of their realization or settlement.
a. impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, BB assesses whether there is any objective evidence of impairment of financial assets. A financial asset is impaired and losses due to impairment is incurred if, cumulatively:
(i) there is objective evidence of reduction in its recoverable amount as a result of one or more events
that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset; (ii) the loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset; and (iii) a reasonable estimate of the amount can be performed. Losses expected as a result of future events, regardless of likelihood, are not recognized.
![Page 30: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Objective evidence that a financial asset has impairment problems includes observable data that are
evaluated by the Bank, especially in relation the following loss events: (i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; (ii) a breach of contract, for example, default or delinquency in interest or
principal payments; (iii) the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to financial difficulties of the borrower, gives the borrower a concession that the Bank would otherwise not consider; (iv) it is likely
that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; (v) the disappearance of
an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or (vi) observable data indicating from the initial recognition of assets, there is a measurable reduction in future cash flows estimated
from a group of financial assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the group, including adverse changes in the borrowers payment situation in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group.
In some cases, the observable data required to estimate the value of a loss from impairment of a
financial asset may be limited or no longer fully relevant to current circumstances. In such cases, the Bank uses its judgment to estimate the amount of any loss on impairment. The use of reasonable
estimates is an essential part of the preparation of financial statements and does not undermine their
reliability.
Financial assets subject to their recoverable amounts are presented as follows:
Loans to Costumers- In assessing the impairment of loans to customers, the Bank checks whether
there is objective evidence of losses in relation to these financial assets, in order to classify them in operations with recoverability problems (impairment) and without problems of impairment (non-impaired).
Operations with recoverability problems are divided into two groups according to the significance of
operations: (i) operations individually significant impairment to treat individually; and (ii) operations impaired individually not significant for treatment collectively.
For loans to customers with evidence of losses in "individually significant" and "individually not
significant", the Administration adopts the parameter corporate heave to award the significant credits.
Thus, it is adopted as the cutoff point for determining the significance of the operations, the maximum amount of business scope for operations with legal entities, as well considered the customer's debt value from which its new operations require approval in strategic decision-making level of the Bank.
To allow Management to determine whether a loss event can come to materialize in a loan valued
customer individually, they are checked, in general: (i) the economic-financial and legal situation of the counterparty; (ii) the retention of risk by the Bank in relation to the counterparty transactions; (iii) the
history of business relationship with the Bank of the counterparty; and (iv) the situation of guarantees of credits. This scope allows the Bank to estimate each reporting date, the need for any impairment of
individually considered financial assets. This information is also used to determine the classification of the transactions in high, medium or low risk.
The identification of a loss event to counterparty in a particular transaction makes all other transactions with that counterparty are also classified as loss evidence.
Segregating the debt holder’s customers with recoverability problems and considered relevant value, their loans will be assessed by the responsible area for the collection and recovery of loans from Banco
do Brasil. In relation to individually assessed loans, the Bank generally recognizes the total reduction of the recoverable amount of the loan when customers come into bankruptcy protection or the Bank judges
likely that customers come into bankruptcy protection or judicial administration. The same procedure is
adopted to clients maintained in default reports made by credit protection companies such as Serasa Experian and SPC Brasil and client assets loans that have other loans written off.
In situations where the fair value of associated collateral is sufficient to cover 100% of the loan amount,
there is no recognition of impairment loss, considering that the Bank expects to be able to receive the loan amount through the implementation and sale of those guarantees.
For loans without associated guarantees, the Bank assesses the client's history such as their behavior in the payment of loans taken earlier.
In case of Bank determinates that the loss events do not affect the recoverable amount of loans to customers individually assessed financial assets are included in a group of assets with similar credit risk
characteristics and assesses collectively for reduction purposes to impairment. Loans to customers that are individually assessed for impairment and for which loss impairment is recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
![Page 31: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
The collective assessment of losses due to impairment, applied to transactions classified as individually
not significant impairment, based on the application of Historical Loss Index (HPI) observed in the Bank's portfolio. IPH is determined from the observation of the losses incurred by the Bank for monthly vintage,
from the thirteenth month preceding the closing date of the year in the case of transactions with term to maturity of up to thirty-six months (referred to reduction test purposes the recoverable value, such
as "short-term"), or from the nineteenth previous month in the case of transactions with a term of over thirty-six months (referred to, for purposes of the impairment test to value recoverable as "long-term").
The short-term monthly HPI is calculated by monitoring for up to twelve months of operations migrations to losses against the initial carrying amount of selected operations in the month immediately preceding
the twelve month follow-up. The long-term monthly HPI is determined analogously to the short-term, extending the loss of follow-up period up to eighteen months.
For the purpose of collective evaluation of impairment, the calculation of the monthly IPH is performed in a segmented manner by groups of similar products/procedures, internal risk rating of operations and types of customers, grouped according to risk analysis methodology and credit limit.
If the evidence of loss by impairment in a relationship with an individual counterparty or on a collective
basis materializes, the amount of loss is recognized in net expense allowance for losses on loans to customers in return for a reduction of the its financial assets. The amounts recorded as provision of title
represent the estimate of the Bank's Management as incurred losses in the portfolio. The level of
provision is determined based on estimates that consider the occurrence of loss events, the current economic scenario, other assumptions and judgments of Management.
If the value of an impairment loss previously recognized impairment decrease and such a situation can
be related objectively to an event occurring after its recognition, it is reversed by reducing the respective reduction account, and such reversal recognized in the income statement.
Loans to customers are written off against the related reduction account when deemed irrecoverable or unrecoverable. The Bank usually writes off loans when no payment is received after the lapse of 360
days overdue or up to 540 days for loans of more than 36 months maturity. If a written off loan is later recovered, the amount is credited to net expense of allowance for loan losses.
Provisions for loans losses, recorded on 12.31.2017, 12.31.2016 and 12.31.2015 were considered by Management sufficient to cover losses incurred on these loans to customers.
Renegotiated Loans - When possible, the Bank seeks to restructure debt instead of taking final possession of collateral. This may involve extending the payment term and the agreement of new
conditions to the loan wich is no longer considered overdue. Management performs ongoing review of the
renegotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are met and that future payments will occur. The loans continue to be subject to individual assessment or reduce collective to impairment.
In almost all cases, the Bank requires at least a down-payment of a portion of the renegotiated loan to no
longer consider as overdue or nonperforming. Renegotiated loans return to nonperforming after 60 days overdue under the renegotiation terms.
Financial assets available for sale - For financial assets available for sale, the Bank assesses if of each reporting date, there is objective evidence that the asset value is below its recoverable amount.
To establish whether there is objective evidence of impairment of a financial asset, the Bank verifies the likelihood of recovery of their value, considering the following factors cumulatively: (i) the duration and
magnitude of the reduction in value of the asset in relation to its accout value; (ii) the historical behavior of the value of assets and recovery experience of the value of these assets; and (iii) likelihood of not
receiving principal and interest on assets, due to difficulties related to the issuer, such as filing for
bankruptcy, deterioration of credit risk classification and financial difficulties, related or not market conditions of the sector in which the issuer operates.
When a decline in fair value of a financial asset available for sale is recognized in other comprehensive
income and there is objective evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss that has been recognized by
the Bank shall be reclassified from equity to the income for the period as a reclassification adjustment, even if the financial asset has not been written off.
The value of the accumulated loss reclassified to income will be recorded in gains/(losses) on financial
assets available for sale and is the difference between the carrying amount of the asset with impairment
problems and their fair value on the valuation date, less any loss by impairment previously recognized in income.
![Page 32: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
If the fair value of a debt instrument available for sale with recoverability problems later increases and the
increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the recognition, measurement and disclosure of impairment assets and impairment loss is reversed through income. Otherwise, it is reversed
through other comprehensive income. Losses reversals of impairment on equity instruments classified as available for sale are only recognized in equity.
Financial assets held to maturity - If there is objective evidence of impairment of financial assets held to maturity, the Bank recognizes a loss, whose value orresponds to the difference between the book value
of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows. These assets are presented net of losses for impairment. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of loss by impairment decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after its recognition, it is reversed to income for the period.
b. provisions, contingent liabilities, contingent assets and legal obligations
In accordance with IAS 37, the Bank records provisions when conditions show that: (i) the Bank has a present obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount of the obligation can be reliably assessed. The
provisions arising from the application of IAS 37 are recognized based on the best estimate of probable losses.
The Bank continuously monitors the ongoing judicial proceedings to assess, among other things: (i) the
nature and complexity; (ii) the progress of proceedings; (iii) the opinion of the lawyers of the Bank; and
(iv) the Bank's experience with similar processes. In determining whether a loss is probable, the Bank considers: (i) the risk of loss arising from claims that occurred on or before the balance sheet date but
which were identified after that date but before the disclosure of financial statements; and (ii) the need to disclose claims or events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the disclosure of financial statements.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements except when the Bank believes that
the income is virtually certain. Contingent assets are assessed continually to ensure that the asset and the related revenue are properly recognized in the financial statements.
The Bank also recognizes tax liabilities challenged in court on the constitutionality of laws that have set up until the effective extinction of tax credits. In these situations, the Bank considers that there is in
fact a legal obligation to pay the government and recognizes both an obligation and a court filing by the same amount. No payment is made until the final decision to be handed down by the judging court.
Generally, these tax liabilities are presented on a net effect in relation to judicial deposits recognized in 'Other assets'.
Provisions are recognized in the financial statements when, based on the nature of the lawsuits, in the opinion of legal advisors and Management and complexity and experience of similar transactions, is
probable the risk of loss of a judicial or administrative lawsuit, with a probable outflow of funds to settle
the obligations and when the amounts involved can be reliably measured, and quantified when the Bank take notice and reviews monthly, as follows:
Collective - Processes related to claims considered similar and usual and whose amount is not
considered significant, based on statistical data. It covers civil, tax or labor lawsuits(except labor lawsuits
filed by labor unions and all processes classified as strategic) with probable value of condemnation, estimated by the legal advisors of up to R$1 million.
Individualized - Processes related to claims considered unusual or whose value is considered relevant
by the legal counsel. It is considered the claimed indemnity amount, the likely amount of conviction,
the evidence and evidence produced in the records, case law on the matter, opinions raised, and judicial decisions to be rendered in the lawsuit, classification and degree of risk of loss of the action judicial.
Contingent liabilities of individual measurement classified as possible losses are not recognized in the
financial statements, are disclosed in the explanatory notes, and those classified as remote do not require provision or disclosure.
Legal obligations (tax and social security) are derived from tax obligations under the law, regardless of the probability of success of lawsuits in progress, have their amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements as liabilities.

Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

c. revenue and expenses recognition
Revenue and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis in the period they are generated or incurred.
Interest income and fee and commission income are recognized when the amount, related costs and stage of completion of the underlying transaction can be measured reliably and it is
probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Bank. Considering the Bank’s main revenue streams, these principles are applied as follows:
Net interest income - Interest income and expenses on interest-bearing assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss on an accrual basis. The Bank uses the effective interest rate method for its financial instruments.
Fees and commissions income – Recognition of fee and commission income considers the
purpose of the fee and whether there is a financial instrument associated with the transaction. If there is a financial instrument and the fee is part of the effective interest rate calculation, revenue
is recognized as interest income (except if the financial instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss). Fees for services provided during a specific period are recognized in that period.
Fees for specific services or a significant event are recognized upon completion of the services or when the event occurs.
Revenue from investments in associates and joint ventures - Income from equity-accounted investments (associates and joint ventures) is recognized in proportion to the Bank’s interest in the results generated by the investees.
In accordance with IAS 18, BB recognizes interest income when receiving the transaction related economic benefits is probable.
d. deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are calculated on temporary differences and tax losses carry forward, and recognized in the accounting books when the Bank expects to generate taxable profit in subsequent
years in amounts sufficient to set-off such values. The expected realization of the Bank's tax credit is based on the projection of future income and on technical studies, in line with the prevailing tax legislation.
The estimates considered by the Bank for the recognition and valuation of deferred taxes are reviewed
based on the current expectations and projections of future events and trends. The main assumptions identified by the Bank that may affect these estimates are related to factors such as (i) changes in the
amounts deposited, default and customer base; (ii) changes in government regulations on tax matters;
(iii) changes in the interest rates; (iv) changes in inflation rates; (v) lawsuits or legal disputes with an adverse impact on the Bank; (vi) credit and market risks, as well as other risks arising from loan and
investment activities; (vii) changes in the market values of Brazilian bonds, mainly Brazilian government bonds; and (viii) changes in internal and external economic conditions.
e. long-term assets
Investment in associated companies and joint ventures - investments in associated companies
and joint ventures are evaluated by the equity method based on their shareholders' equity of the investment. The financial statements of branches and subsidiaries abroad are converted in Reais (R$)
according to the IAS 21 and the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized in income
for the period or in other comprehensive income, in shareholders’ equity. Other permanent investments are accountedat fair value, pursuant to IAS 39. Property and equipment in use – Property and equipment
are stated at cost less depreciation, accumulated using the straight-line method and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment are written-off when future economic benefits are no longer expected
to be used or at the time of disposal. Any gain or loss generated on the disposal of the asset is recognized in other operating income, impacting the result of the period in which the asset was disposed of.
Goodwill and other intangible assets - Goodwill on the acquisition of equity investments is calculated based on the fair value of the acquired company’s assets and liabilities on the acquisition
date. Goodwill is not amortized. It is tested at least annually for impairment. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The Bank recognizes intangible assets separately from goodwill when they are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights, the fair value can be reliably estimated and it is probable
![Page 34: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
that future economic benefits will flow to the Bank. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is its fair value on the acquisition date.
Separately acquired intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. The useful life of an intangible
asset is considered either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated economic lives and presented at cost, less accumulated amortization and impairment.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and are presented at cost, less
impairment. Costs related to the acquisition, production and development of software are capitalized and recognized as intangible assets. Costs incurred during the research phase are
recognized as an expense. Capitalized personnel costs include salaries, social security costs and benefits paid to employees directly involved in the software development.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization period and method is reviewed at least annually. If
there is a change in the expected useful life, the amortization period is modified. If there is a change in the expected pattern of realization of future economic benefits associated with an
asset, the amortization method is adjusted to reflect this pattern. These types of changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
f. useful life of non-current assets
The estimated useful life term of the fixed assets is defined based on the percentages below:
Assets Property, plant and equipment Annual rate %
Buildings ¹ 2.0 to 10.0
Furniture and equipment 10.0
Improvements to third-party property 10.0 to 20.0
Data processing equipment 20.0
Vehicles 20.0
Others 10.0 to 20.0 1 - For depreciation of owned buildings, the Bank considers the useful life of the various components of a building, in conformity with paragraph 43 of
IAS 16.
The estimated useful life term of the intangible assets is defined based on the percentages below:
Intangible assets Annual rate %
Software 10.0 to 20.0
Rights due to payroll management 10.0 to 20.0
Related to customers, acquired in business combinations 10.0 to 50.0
Related to contracts, acquired in business combinations 10.0 to 35.0
Other ¹ 20.0
1 - Includes mainly trademarks acquired in business combinations.
g. pension plans and other employees benefits
Benefits for employees, related to short-term benefits for existing employees are recognized on the
accrual basis as the services are provided. Post-employment benefits, comprising supplementary retirement benefits and medical assistance for which the Bank is responsible, were accounted at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with criteria established by IAS 19.
In defined-contribution plans, the actuarial risk and the investment risk belong to the participants.
Consequently, no actuarial calculation is required when measuring the obligation or expense. Thus, the expense is recognized in income for the period in which the related services are rendered by employees in return for contributions for the same period.
In defined benefit plans, the actuarial risk and the investment risk belong either partially or fully on the
sponsoring entity. Thus, actuarial assumptions are required for the measurement of plan liabilities and expenses, and there is the possibility of actuarial gains and losses. As a result, the Bank records a
liability when the present value of actuarial liabilities is greater than the fair value of plan assets, or an asset when the fair value of assets is greater than the present value of plan liabilities. In the latter
instance, the asset should be recorded only when there is evidence that it can effectively reduce the contributions from the Bank or refundable in future.
![Page 35: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
The Bank, as permitted by IAS 19, recognizes actuarial gains/losses in the same period in which the
actuarial calculation was performed, as follows: (i) the costs of current services and net interest on the net amount of defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized in the statement of income; and (ii) the
net value measurements of defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized in other comprehensive income, in shareholders’ equity.
The contributions payable by the Bank to medical plans, in some cases, remain after the retirement of the employee. Thus, Bank's obligations are evaluated at the present actuarial value of the contributions
to be paid over the expected period when plan participants and beneficiaries will be linked to the plan. These obligations are evaluated and recognized under the same criteria used for defined benefit plans.
h. conversion adjustments on foreign currency
Functional and disclousure currency - The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian
Reais, which is the Bank's functional and presentation currency. The functional currency, which is the currency of the main economic environment in which an entity operates, is the Real for most of the entities comprising the Group.
Transactions and balances - Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency at the date of the transaction.
The Bank's assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, most of which are monetary, are
translated at the exchange rate of the functional currency at the reporting date. All the exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of income for the period in which they arise.
Translation to the presentation currency – Abroad financial statements entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) are translated into the presentation currency according to the
following criteria: (i) assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in force at the reporting date and (ii) income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period.
Foreign exchange differences from the translation of the financial statements of overseas entities, whose functional currency is the Real, are recognized in the consolidated statement of income. For those
entities whose functional currency is not the Real, the accumulated foreign exchange differences are recognized directly in shareholders' equity, until the disposal of the subsidiary abroad or loss of control.
At that time, the accumulated foreign exchange differences are reclassified from other comprehensive income to income for the period. The sum of foreign exchange differences attributable to non-controlling
shareholders is allocated and recognized as part of interests of non-controlling shareholders in the consolidated balance sheet.
i. environmental recovery costs
Not applicable.
j. criteria for non financial asset impairment tests
At the end of each reporting period, the Bank assesses, based on internal and external sources of
information, whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If there is
indication of impairment, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of the asset is the highest between performed its fair value, less the costs to sell it and its value in use, whichever is the higher.
Regardless of the existence of any indication of impairment, the Bank annually tests for impairment
intangible assets with indefinite useful life, including goodwill acquired in a business combination, or an intangible asset not yet available for use. This test can be performed at any time during an annual period, provided it is at the same time every year.
Regarding investments in associated companies and joint ventures, the Bank applies the requirements
of IAS 39 to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss of the total net investment.
As the goodwill comprising the book value of investments in associated companies and joint ventures
is not separately recognized, it is not tested separately with respect to its recoverable amount, pursuant
to the requirements of IAS 36. Instead, the aggregate book value of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its carrying amount with its recoverable amount, whenever
application of IAS 39 indicates that the investment has recovery issues. The impairment loss recognized
![Page 36: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
in those circumstances is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying value of the investment in the associate company or joint venture.
In case the recoverable value of an non-financial asset is lower than its book value, the book value of
the asset is reduced to its recoverable value through a reducing account for impairment losses, whose counterpart is recognized in income for the period in which is occurs, under Other operational expenses.
The Bank also evaluates, at the end of each reporting period, if there is any indication that an impairment
loss recognized in prior periods for an non-financial asset, except for goodwill due to expected future
earnings, may not exist anymore or may have decreased. If there is indication of impairment, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of this asset. Reversal of impairment losses of an asset will be recognized in income for the period, rectifying Other operational expenses balance.
The main non-financial assets are subject to have their recoverable amounts tested are presented below.
Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings – upon determination of land and building recoverable value, technical evaluations
in conformity with ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards) are conducted, which establishes
general concepts, methods and procedures of compulsory use in urban property evaluation technical services.
Data processing equipment – in the determination of recoverable value of relevant items that comprise
data processing equipment, market values of components whose market value is available are
considered and, for other items, the value that may be recovered for use in Bank operations is considered, and its calculation considers cash flow projections of benefits from using each asset during its useful life, adjusted to present value based on the CDI rate.
Other property, plant and equipment items – although being subject to loss indication analysis, other
items of property, plant and equipment in use have low individual values and, considering cost effectiveness, the Bank does not evaluate the recoverable value of these items on an individual basis.
However, the Bank conducts annual inventory assedments with the purpose of writing-off accounting records of lost or deteriorated assets.
Investments in associated companies and joint ventures
The methodology for calculating the recoverable amount of investments in associated companies and
joint ventures, including goodwill incorporated to the balance of these investments is to measure the expected result of investment using the discounted cash flow. To measure this result, assumptions are
based on (i) projections of operations, results and companies' investment plans; (ii) macroeconomic
scenarios developed by the Bank; and (iii) internal methodology to determine the cost of capital based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM model.
Goodwill on investments acquired in business combination
The methodology for calculating the recoverable amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination
is to measure the expected result of the investment using the discounted cash flow. To measure this result, assumptions are based on (i) projections of operations, results and companies' investment plans;
(ii) macroeconomic scenarios developed by the Bank; and (iii) internal methodology to determine the cost of capital based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM model.
For goodwill generated by the acquisition of Banco Nossa Caixa, which was merged into Banco do Brasil in November, 2009, methodology consists in comparing the goodwill amount paid with present value of
Bank's results projected for the São Paulo State, less net assets with defined useful life. Projections are based on verified results and evolve based on earnings growth assumptions for Banco do Brasil, and are discounted based on the Bank's capital cost.
Other intangible assets
Rights due to payroll management - Model to evaluate the recoverable value of rights due to payroll acquisition uses the performance of contracts, which are calculated based on client relationship
contribution margins that are related to each contract, so as to verify if projects that justified the asset acquisition correspond to the verified performance. For contracts that do not reach expected performance, a provision for impairment is recognized.
![Page 37: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Software – Software, substantially developed internally to meet the Bank's necessities receive constant
investment for modernization and adequacy to new technologies and business needs. As there are no similar software in the market, and the cost to implement measurements that permit the calculation of
its value in use is high, recoverability test for software consist in evaluating its utility to the company so as to, whenever the software is not used anymore, its value is written-off from accounting records.
Acquired through business combination – intangible assets acquired through business combination, mainly represented by trademarks and rights related to clients and contracts, are
evaluated at the end of each reporting period to verify if there are indications of impairment losses. If there is any indication for these assets, BB estimates its recoverable value. Methodology to calculate
the recoverable value consists in determining the present value of cash flows estimated for these
intangible assets, discounted at a rate that reflects current market evaluations and specific risks of each asset.
Other assets
Non-operating assets – regardless of the existence of loss indications, non-operating assets have
their recoverable value evaluated on a half-yearly basis, through the formalization of their market values in appraisal reports, prepared according to ABNT standards.
k. financial instruments
The Bank classifies financial instruments in accordance with the nature of the instrument and its
intention. All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized on the trade date, the date on which the Bank becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The classification of assets and liabilities is determined on the date of initial recognition.
All financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except in cases where
assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value through income. The accounting policies applied to each class of financial instruments are presented below.
Financial assets at fair value through income - Financial instruments are classified in this category
if they are held for trading on the date of origination or acquisition, or are so designated by Management during the initial recognition.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if: (i) is acquired mainly to be sold in the short term; (ii) upon initial recognition, is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed
together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of obtaining short-term profits; or
(iii) it is a derivative (except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).
Derivatives classified by the Bank in this category are: (i) derivatives for trading such as swaps, futures contracts, forward contracts, options and other similar derivatives based on interest rates, the exchange
rate, the stock price and commodities and credit risk. Derivatives are recorded at fair value and held as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative; (ii) non derivatives
qualified for hedge accounting but are used to manage exposure to market risks, particularly interest rate, currency and credit; and (iii) derivatives contracted at the request of its customers, with the sole purpose of protection against the risks inherent in their economic activities.
The Bank will only appoint a financial instrument at fair value through income during the initial
recognition when the following criteria are met: (i) eliminates designation or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would occur in the measurement of assets and liabilities or recognition of
gains and corresponding loss in different ways; (ii) the assets and liabilities are part of a group of
financial assets, financial liabilities or both, which are managed and their performance evaluated based on fair value as a documented strategy of risk management or investment; or (iii) the financial
instrument has one or more embedded derivatives, which significantly modifies the cash flows that would be required by the contract.
It’s not possible to perform transfers of financial assets classified in this category to others, except for non-derivative financial assets held for trading, which may be reclassified after initial recognition when:
(i) in rare circumstances, the financial instrument is not maintained for the purpose of selling in the short term; or (ii) it meets the definition of a loan and receivable, and the Bank has the intention and ability to hold the financial asset for a future period or until maturity.
![Page 38: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
The financial instruments recorded in this category are initially recognized at fair value and income
(interest and dividends) are recognized as interest income. Transaction costs as incurred are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Gains and losses realized and unrealized due to the changes in fair value of these instruments are included in net income on financial assets/liabilities at fair value through income.
Financial assets available for sale - The Bank classifies as financial assets available for sale securities
when, in Management's judgment, may be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in market
conditions or are not classified as: (i) loans and receivables, (ii) investments held to maturity, or (iii) financial assets at fair value through income.
These securities are recorded at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs. Subsequent measurement of these instruments is also recorded at fair value.
Unrealized gains or losses (after taxes) are recorded in a separate component of equity (Accumulated
other comprehensive income) until its disposal, except for the recognition of loss on impairment. Income (interest and dividends) of these assets are allocated as interest income. Gains and losses on disposal
of financial assets available for sale are recorded as income on financial assets available for sale, the date of disposition.
Occurring reclassification of financial assets available for sale category to trading, the gains or losses to the date of reclassification, which are recorded in other comprehensive accumulated income, are transferred immediately to the income of the period.
Financial assets held to maturity – They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments, with defined maturities for which the Bank has the positive intention and proven financial capacity to hold them to maturity. They are initially recorded at fair value, including transaction
incremental costs. These financial instruments are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest,
including goodwill and negative goodwill are recorded in interest income in financial assets held to maturity.
In accordance with IAS 39, BB does not classify any financial assets as held to maturity if during the
current fiscal year or during the two preceding financial years, sold or reclassified more than an
insignificant amount of investments, other than sales or reclassifications that: (i) are so close to maturity or the financial asset purchase date that changes in market interest rates would have no significant
effect on the fair value of financial assets; (ii) occur after the Bank has collected substantially all of the original capital of the financial asset through scheduled payments or prepayments; or (iii) are
attributable to an isolated event that is beyond the entity's control, is non-recurring and was improbable to happen.
Whenever sales or reclassifications of more than an insignificant amount of investments held to maturity does not meet any of the conditions mentioned above, any investment held by the remaining maturity shall be reclassified as available for sale.
Loans and receivables - Loans and receivables include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market, except: (i) those that the Bank intends to sell immediately or in the short-term, which will be classified as held for trading, and those that the
Bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through income, or as available for sale; or (ii)
those for which the Bank may not recover substantially all of its initial investment, except for reduction account of impairment of credit.
Loans and receivables are presented in the balance sheet divided into four categories: (i) Compulsory
deposits at central banks; (ii) Loans to financial institutions; (iii) Loans to customers; and (iv) Investments in repurchase agreements, whose completion date is more than 90 days.
Compulsory deposits at central banks - Compulsory deposits at central banks refer to a ratio of demand deposits, time deposits and savings deposits that are collected to the central banks of the
countries where the Bank has operations. In Brazil, the National Monetary Council determines the
proportion of deposits that banks are required to collect compulsorily, which are subject, in a substantial manner, the remuneration set by the regulator.
Compulsory deposits are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently evaluated, where applicable,
at amortized cost. Their financial revenues are recorded in deposit interest income reserve at central banks.
![Page 39: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
39
Loans to financial institutions - Loans to financial institutions consist of the acquisition of loan
portfolios with joint obligations of the assignor and interbank deposits. These assets are stated at the principal amount plus financial charges, including interest, goodwill and negative goodwill. Their financial revenues are recorded in interest income from loans to financial institutions.
Loans to customers - Loans to customers are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments,
initially recognized at fair value, and evaluated subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. Financial expenses are recorded according to the accrual basis and added to the principal
amount in each period. Financial incomes generated by loans to customers are recorded in loans to customers’ interest income.
The book value of loans to customers is reduced by an allowance account and the amount of loss by impairment is recognized in income as net expense allowance for losses on loans to customers,
representing an estimated by the Administration as the losses incurred in the portfolio. When loans or groups of similar loans have recovery problems and its carrying amount is reduced through an allowance
account, interest income continues to be recognized until the time that the loans are considered non-performing (usually when the loan is overdue more than 60 days).
The provision is determined based on estimates that consider the occurrence of loss events, the current economic scenario, other assumptions and Management judgment, including previous experience with
losses on loans to customers portfolio, the existence of guarantees and evaluation the individual risk of customers.
Loans to customers that receive the amount of principal or interest is overdue by 60 days or more are considered as non-performing loans and, depending on that classification, are recognized in interest income and other financial charges suspended.
For all non-performing loans, any amount received, whether the customer's discretion or as a result of
court proceedings are recorded according to the following order: (i) as payment of fines or financial charges; (ii) an interest payment revenue already recognized; (iii) as payment of accrued interest to the date of payment, but not yet recognized and, finally, (iv) as capital.
This may result in the recognition of interest income for payments made to non-performing loans.
Generally, nonperforming loans considered return to normal operation when there is no overdue for more than 60 days and that the Bank expects to receive the remaining contractual amount of principal and interest on the loan.
Purchased under resale agreements - The Bank invests in securities with resale agreements, mainly
federal government bonds. Resale agreements are financial collateralized and are recorded at
acquisition cost plus accrued interest. The amount paid for securities purchased under resale agreement, including accrued interest, is recorded as an asset of repurchase agreements, reflecting the economic
substance of the transaction as a loan from the Bank. The asset repos is subdivided into: (i) retailers to liquidate - portfolio position, which is formed by securities purchased under resale agreements and not
passed on, or not sold with repurchase agreements and; (ii) resellers to liquidate - funded position, which includes securities purchased under agreements to resell and passed, that is, sold under repurchase agreements.
The Bank monitors and continuously assesses the market value of securities purchased under resale agreements and adjusts the value of the collateral when necessary.
Financial liabilities - An instrument is classified as a financial liability when there is a contractual
obligation for its settlement to be effected by the delivery of cash or another financial asset, regardless of their legal form. Financial liabilities include short and long terms debt issue which are initially
measured at fair value, which is the amount received net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities held for trading and those designated by Management as at fair value through income are measured and recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Financial liabilities recorded at fair value relate mainly to derivative financial instruments held for the purpose of trading.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of the existing liability are substantially modified, exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference the carrying amount is recognized in the income statement.
The Bank considers that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the
agreement with the new cash flow terms, including any fees paid after tax and of any other fare received
![Page 40: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
40
and discounted using the original effective interest rate is at least 10% different the discounted present
value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If an exchange of financial liabilities or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognized
as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized over the remaining term of the modified liability.
Liabilities from operations - The Bank conducts fund raising by sale of securities with repurchase
agreements, mainly comprising federal government bonds. The repurchase agreements are financial collateralized and are recorded at their sale value, plus accrued interest.
Securities sold under repurchase agreement are not written off as the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. The corresponding to the cash received, including accrued interest, is
recognized as liability repurchase agreements, reflecting the economic substance of the transaction as a debt of the Bank. The liability repos is subdivided into: (i) own portfolio, which is comprised of
securities with repurchase agreements not linked to resellers, ie the securities of its own portfolio of the
Bank linked to the open market; (ii) third-party portfolio, which includes securities purchased under agreements to resell and passed, that is, sold under repurchase agreements.
Determination of fair value - Fair value is the price that would be received by the sell of an asset or
that would be paid by transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (principal or most advantageous) at the measurement date.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets on the base date of the balance sheet is based on the quoted market price (selling price for long positions or purchase price for short
positions), without any transaction cost deduction. A market is considered active if transactions for the
asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
In situations where there is no quoted price in an active market for a financial instrument, the Bank
estimates the fair value based on valuation methods that maximizes the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation method incorporates all the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions
about risk. The valuation methods include: the method of discounted cash flow, compared to similar financial instruments for which there is a market with observable prices, options pricing models, credit models and other known valuation models.
When necessary, the values generated by the models are adjusted to reflect the variation between
buying and selling prices; the cost of liquidation of the position; the risk of counterparty credit; and liquidity position. The adjustments also are intended to meet the theoretical limitations of the models.
10.6. Material items not disclosed in the financial statements of BB
a. the assets and liabilities directly or indirectly held by Banco do Brasil which do not
appear in its Balance Sheet (off-balance sheet items):
i. operating leases, assets and liabilities

assignment and their associated liabilities are presented in Note 43 - Transfer of Financial Assets of the financial statements according to IFRS.
iii. contracts for future purchase and sale of products or services
There is no such situation at the Bank.
![Page 41: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market. Strict control over liquidity risk is aligned with the Liquidity Risk Policy established by the Board](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042016/5e7489158aab177bd96bc3dc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
iv. contracts for unfinished constructions
These amounts are recorded as Fixed Assets in the financial statements according to the IFRS, in line with the financial statements in BRGAAP, from Properties and Equipment Cosif.
v. contracts for the future receipt of financing
There is no such situation at the Bank.
b. other items not disclosed in the financial statements
Not applicable. Banco do Brasil does not have off-balance sheet assets and liabilities other than those
indicated in the notes to the financial statements, according to the best corporate governance practices. Banco do Brasil’s off-balance sheet assets and liabilities are properly indicated in the financial statements
for fiscal year 2017. Notes that address these items are: (i) Note 27 - Involvement with Non-
Consolidated Structured Entities, (ii) Note 35 – Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities; (iii) Note 39 - Derivative Financial Instruments; and (iv) Note 40 - Financial Guarantees and Other off Balance
Commitments.
10.7. Comments on each item indicated in section 10.6
a. inasmuch as such items change or may change the revenues, expenses, operating
income or other items of the financial statements.
The labor, tax and civil claims whose risks of loss are classified as "possible" are exempted from any provisions based on IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Labor lawsuits represent various claimed requests, such as: compensation, overtime, de-characterization of work hours, position and representation additionals, and others.
Tax lawsuits are claims related to ISSQN (taxes on services), collection and other tax obligations deriving
from the Federal Revenue Department and the Social Security National Institute. The main contingencies originate from:
I. Tax deficiency notices issued by the INSS aiming contributions collection related to salary bonus paid from 1995 to 2006 in the amount of R$3,499 million. Additionally, INSS requires payment of
taxes related to transportation vouchers and use of own vehicles by the Bank’s employees in the amount of R$313 million, and related to employee profit sharing paid from April, 2001 to October, 2003 in the amount of R$884 million.
II. Tax deficiency notices issued by the Treasuries of the Municipalities, aiming the collection of ISSQN, which amounts R$1,619 million.
In civil lawsuits there are claims aiming to get restitution of differences between inflation and the indexes

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or that would
be paid by transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If a quoted price in an active market is available for a financial instrument, the fair value is
calculated based on that price. In the absence of an active market for a financial instrument, its fair
value is calculated by an unbiased estimate, thus aiming at a fair and equitable assessment of the financial instruments.

Banco do Brasil grants guarantees to individuals and legal entities, including other financial institutions
which were given a permit to operate by the Central Bank of Brazil, by collecting financial charges and counter-guarantees from the beneficiaries in the local or foreign-currency denominated transactions
carried out in Brazil or abroad. In Brazil, the Bank mainly grants guarantees, letters of guarantees and
bonds. As far as international guarantees are concerned, the types adopted by Banco do Brasil are as

follows: Bid Bond, Performance Bond, Refundment Bond, International Guarantee, International Surety, Standby Bond.
Guarantees granted to third parties amounted to R$6,445 million on December 31, 2016 (R$9,731
million on December 31, 2015 and R$8,739 million on December 31, 2014), for which, according to IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Assets and Contingent Liabilities, a provision of R$442 million in 2016
(R$541 million by the end of 2015 and R$194 million by the end of 2014) is deemed to be sufficient and recorded under "Other liabilities".
Credits contracted to release
Among the commitments taken on by Banco do Brasil, there are unused credits and lease transactions
totaling R$117,609 million on December 31, 2017 (R$118,746 million on December 31, 2016 and R$144,107 on December 31, 2015). Such operations, when disbursed, are recorded in the Balance Sheet according to the used credit line.
Credits to release are contracted for a given period of time to offer a loan to a client that has fulfilled
predetermined contractual conditions, including the limits assigned to overdraft account and credit card operations. Standby letters of credit and sureties and guarantees are conditional commitments, generally to guarantee the performance of a client before a third party in loan contracts.
In credit financial instruments, the contractual amount of the financial instrument represents the
maximum potential of credit risk in case the counterpart fails to fulfill the terms of the contract. The majority of these commitments mature without being withdrawn. As a result, the contractual amount
does not represent the effective future exposure to credit risks or liquidity requirements originated from these commitments. To decrease the credit risk, the Bank requires the contracted party to deliver, as
collateral, cash resources, securities or other assets to pledge the credit facility, similar to the pledge required for loans to customers.
Confirmed credits to exports and open credits to imports
As a result of foreign trade transactions, there are confirmed import and export letters of credit

BANCO DO BRASIL’S BYLAWS REVIEW
Shareholders,
The New Market Regulation of B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3), effective as from
January, 2018 (approved by the companies listed on June, 2017 and the Securities
and Exchange Commission on September, 2017), demanded changes in the Banco
do Brasil's (BB) Bylaws.
BB's certification by B3 in the State-Owned Enterprises Governance Program
on August, 2017 also led to improvements in the BB’s Bylaws.
At the same time, CGPAR Resolution No. 21 was issued by the CGPAR Inter-
ministerial Corporate Governance and Corporate Governance Committee - CGPAR,
with guidance to members appointed by the controlling shareholder in the corporate
bodies of state-owned companies.
The continuous improvement of corporate governance practices, rewording and
standardization complements the need to revise the Bylaws.
In view of the foregoing, pursuant to Article 122, item 1, of Law 6404/1976, I
hereby submit to the deliberation of this Shareholders' Meeting the proposed revision
of the Banco do Brasil's Bylaws, detailed in the attached table and with the following
main highlights related:
Art. 9º – Call notice and functions
The caput of the article is being amended to conform to ICVM 559/2015 (article
8), which establishes a minimum period of 30 days for convening Shareholders’
Meetings in the case of institutions participating in Depositary Receipts (DR) programs,
as is the case of BB.
Art. 12º – Investiture
The New Market Regulation no longer requires the submission to B3 of the
"Statement of Consent of the Directors to the New Market Regulation". On the other
hand, it now determines that, at the the term of investiture, it should be subject to the
arbitration clause of Bylaws.
In view of this, the current paragraph 2 of this article is being replaced to provide
that the term of investiture contemplates subjection to the arbitration clause referred to
in Article 53 of the Bylaws, in accordance with the B3 New Market Regulation.
Art. 17º – Disclosure and other requirements
The article is being amended to provide for a change in the negotiation criteria
with securities issued by BB by self-regulators, including the possibility of negotiations
if a Trading Plan is drawn up at least six months in advance.
![Page 92: Table of Contents · its ability to access the international capital market.

92
Art. 33º – Audit Committee
In compliance with the requirements of the State-Owned Enterprises
Governance Program and the New Market Regulation, it is proposed to insert in
paragraph 2 a new item IV to indicate that at least one of the members of the Audit
Committee shall be an independent management director, and a new paragraph 3, to
provide that the same member may accumulate the characteristics of independent
Board of Directors member and of recognized experience in corporate accounting and
auditing.
Art. 36º – Internal Audit
In compliance with CGPAR Resolution No. 21, Paragraph 2 is inserted, in order
to record the term of the Internal Audit incumbent, which shall be three years,
renewable for an equal period, and for a further 365 days, by decision of the Board of
Directors.
Art. 37º – Ombudsman Office
Also in compliance with CGPAR Resolution No. 21, it is proposed to adjust the
term of the Ombudsman, equal to that of the Internal Audit incumbent (article 36) and
to change the competence for his appointment to the Board of Directors.
Art. 39º – Supervisory Board
In line with the proposal for article 12, also in compliance with the New Market
Regulation, this article is being amended to provide that Supervisory Board members
will take office in their positions by signing a term of investiture on the date of the
election by the Shareholders Meeting, which shall be subject to the arbitration clause
referred to in article 53 of the Bylaws.
Art. 55º – Sale of Controlling Interest
It is proposed to exclude Paragraphs 3 and 4, since the New Market Regulation
no longer requires the signature, by Board members, of the term of consent to the New
Market.
Brasília (DF), March 23rd, 2018.

consists of a contemporary practice of retention of Directors of large
companies. It is applied in conjuction with the Administrators Variable
Remuneration Program (RVA), which provides payments in cash and in
shares of the company;

conversion is recognized as a retention program based on the granting of a
bonus in the number of shares to be delivered after the vesting period, which
period must be respected for the acquisition of the right;
