In the comparison between 1Q07 and 4Q06, PDD Expenses had a R$29 million drop, resulting from the stability in the Delinquency Ratio of the consolidated portfolio, due to the larger share of loans granted to Corporates that normally have a lower delinquency, as well as to the slight decrease of Delinquency related to Corporates.
