6 - STATE OF BALANCE

6.1 -

Benefit Plan 1:the results presented by the plan at the end of the year of 2006, corroborated by the positive surplus regularity of the previous years, indicate the recognition of its actuarial state of balance, observing what we manifested in item 7.1.1, relative to the Costing Plan.


6.1.1 -

Of special note as a component of the expressive volatility of the results of the Plan is the allocation of the investment assets in the Variable Income segment, which reached, at the end of the year 64.13% - RV/AI 1 - enabling the passive compliance of CMN Resolution 3.121, dated 09.25.2003, which established 50% (in relation to the total investments) as the limit for investment in this segment.

6.3 -

Annuity Portfolio: The Portfolio presented a surplus result in its financial flow (pension incomes and expenses). The modification that occurred in the last fiscal year, with the change in the form of collection of the premiums, returned the technical balance to the Portfolio.


7 - COSTING PLANS

7.1 -

BENEFIT Plan 1:the plan, by its very nature - defined benefit, in extinction and under the method of aggregate financing - must, permanently, flexibilize the costing in direction of the actuarial balance.


7.1.1 -

Deficits and surpluses in the plan require the review of the Costing Plan2 in order to guarantee, in a fluid manner, the future and in maintenance benefits and the stocks of capitals necessary to the coverage of the Mathematical Provision.


7.1.2 -

As covered in item 6.1.1, the volatility of the results may lead the actuarial management to not choose the same volatility in costing, vis a vis the improper consequences relative to the participants' net salary gains , which will tend to loose uniformity.


7.1.3 -

The result produced by the plan during the year - third consecutive year with a technical surplus, with the generation of a Special Reserve during the last two years -, should require the revision of the costing format.


7.1.4 -

Considering what we have presented, we recommend the suspension of the contributions to Benefit Plan 1, as from a fund to be constituted based on the annual budget relative to the contributions of participants and sponsors, performing the annual reconstitution of the allocated amount, without repercussion on the Costing Plan.


7.1.5 -

We further point out that the current value of the net future contributions (participants and sponsors) is calculated at R$ 6,220,923,367.42 (six billion, two hundred and twenty million, nine hundred and twenty three thousand, three hundred and sixty seven reais and forty two cents).


7.2 -

PREVI Futuro Benefit Plan: the plan has a global costing established in its regulations, which can not exceed 7% of the total participation payroll of the employees enrolled in the plan. We evaluate as satisfactory the maintenance of the current Costing Plan, and at the same time point out the permanent need to review the risk rate relative to Part I (risk benefits) for the maintenance of balance. We request that, for this topic that established in items 10.2.1.and 10.2.2. Of this Actuarial Opinion be considered.


7.3 -

Annuity Portfolio - CAPEC: we recommend the review of the Costing Plan, in accordance with the studies presented by the actuarial area, which observed the flow of new adhesions, cancellations, profile of the Portfolio's population and the amount reached by the CAPEC Fund.

Table P - (Balance Sheet Summary)- Values in Reais


8.2 -

The results obtained according to the previous item are due mainly to three factors, with the following observations:

a) Pension Incomes and Expenses:

the contributions generated an actuarial profit of R$ 2.67 million and the expenses generated an actuarial loss of 366.4 million;


b) Income for Imminent Risks:

the investment assets exceeded in R$ 22.46 billion the actuarial needs for the plan's balance.
