PRESENTATION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
 
Accounting Principles
 
The accounting practices used in the preparation of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements follow the special regulations of the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia (the “Superintendency of Finance”) and generally accepted accounting principles in Colombia (collectively, “Colombian GAAP”).  Together, these requirements differ in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).  Note 13 to the Bank’s unadited consolidated financial statements included in this Report provides a description of the principal differences between Colombian GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements and provides a reconciliation of net income and stockholders’ equity for the years and dates indicated herein.  References to Colombian GAAP in this Report are to Colombian GAAP as supplemented by the applicable regulations of the Superintendency of Finance.
 
For consolidation purposes under Colombian GAAP, financial statements of the Bank and its Subsidiaries must be prepared under uniform accounting policies.  In order to comply with this requirement, financial statements of foreign Subsidiaries were adjusted as required by Colombian regulations.
 
For June 2011, the Bank’s consolidated financial statements include companies in which it holds, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding voting shares. The Bank consolidates directly Leasing Bancolombia S.A. Compañía de Financiamiento, Fiduciaria Bancolombia S.A.  Sociedad Fiduciaria, Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. Corporación Financiera, Compañía de Financiamiento Tuya S.A., Bancolombia Puerto Rico Internacional Inc, Bancolombia Panamá S.A., Valores Bancolombia S.A.  Comisionista de Bolsa, Factoring Bancolombia S.A. Some of the Bank’s Subsidiaries also consolidate their own subsidiaries. Bancolombia Panamá S.A. consolidates Bancolombia Cayman S.A., Sistema de Inversiones y Negocios S.A. Sinesa, Future Net S.A., Suleasing International USA Inc. and Banagrícola S.A. (which, in turn, consolidates Banco Agrícola Panamá S.A, Inversiones Financieras Banco Agrícola S.A. IFBA, Banco Agrícola S.A., Arrendadora Financiera S.A. Arfinsa, Credibac S.A. de C.V., Bursabac S.A. de C.V.). Banca de Inversión consolidates with Inmobiliaria Bancol S.A., Valores Simesa S.A., Inversiones CFNS S.A.S., Todo Uno Colombia S.A., CFNS Infraestructura S.A.S. and Vivayco S.A.S. The Bank’s Subsidiary Leasing Bancolombia S.A. Compañía de Financiamiento consolidates Leasing Perú S.A., Renting Colombia S.A. (which, in turn, consolidates Renting Perú S.A.C., Capital Investments SAFI S.A., Fondo de Inversión en Arrendamiento Operativo Renting Perú, and Transportempo S.A.S.).  The Bank’s Subsidiary Valores Bancolombia S.A.  Comisionista de Bolsa consolidates Valores Bancolombia Panamá S.A. and Suvalor Panamá Fondo de Inversión S.A. and the Bank’s Subsidiary Fiduciaria Bancolombia S.A.  Sociedad Fiduciaria consolidates FiduPerú S.A. Sociedad Fiduciaria
 
Currencies
 
The Bank maintains accounting records in Colombian pesos. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Bancolombia S.A. as of June 30, 2011, and 2010; and the audited consolidated financial statements of Bancolombia S.A. as of December 31, 2010, and 2009 and for three years ended December 31, 2010 (collectively, including the notes thereto, the “Financial Statements”) contained in this Report are expressed in pesos.
 
This report translates certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise indicated, such peso amounts have been translated at the rate of COP 1,913.98 per US$ 1.00 and COP 1,772.32 per US$1, which corresponds to the Representative Market Rate calculated on December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectevely. The Representative Market Rate is computed and certified by the Superintendency of Finance, the Colombian banking regulator, on a daily basis and represents the weighted average of the buy/sell foreign exchange rates negotiated on the previous day by certain financial institutions authorized to engage in foreign exchange transactions (including Bancolombia S.A.). The Superintendency of Finance also calculates and certifies the average Representative Market Rate for each month for purposes of preparing financial statements and converting amounts in foreign currency to Colombian pesos. Such conversion should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts correspond to, or have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at that rate or any other rate.  On November 30, 2011, the Representative Market Rate was COP 1,948.51 per US$ 1.00.

For the six month period ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010,
(Stated in millions of Colombian pesos and thousands of dollars)
 
(1) Organization and Background

Bancolombia S.A. (“the Bank”) is a private commercial bank incorporated under Colombian law on January 24, 1945 and is incorporated until 2044.  On April 3, 1998, Banco Industrial Colombiano S.A. (“BIC”) merged with Banco de Colombia S.A. and the surviving entity was renamed Bancolombia S.A.  The registered office and business address of Bancolombia S.A. is in Medellin, Colombia.  Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries are defined herein as the Bank.

As for recent amendments to the Bank‘s by-laws’ the most important have been as follows: (i) by means of Public Deed No. 633 drawn up on April 3, 1998 before the Notary Public No. 14 of the Circuit of Medellín, BIC took over Banco de Colombia S.A. which was dissolved without being liquidated, and changed its corporate name to Bancolombia S.A.; (ii) by means of Public Deed No. 3974 drawn up on July 30, 2005 before the Notary Public No. 29 of the Circuit of Medellín the merger between Bancolombia, Conavi and Corfinsura (spin-off) was duly made official. By virtue of this merger, Bancolombia took over the total amount of assets, rights and obligations of Conavi and Corfinsura, which were dissolved but not liquidated; (iii) by means of Public Deed No. 1614 drawn up on March 15, 2007 before the Notary Public No. 29 of the Circuit of Medellín, the main purpose of which was to simplify the workings of its Board of Directors, eliminating alternate members and reducing the number of principal members to nine, (iv) the last amendment was made by means of  public Deed No. 1638  drawn up on March 25, 2011 before the Notary Public No. 29 of Medellín, accordingly,  the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank  was reduced from 9 to 7; the procedures of the General Meeting of Shareholders  was amended to include the designation,  for periods of two (2) years, of the Financial Consumer Defender and his alternate, and the ability to dismiss both freely;  the conflict of interest procedures of the Board of Directors was modified; and  the duties of the President were amended to include  the possibility to create and abolish, subject to compliance with legal requirements, branches and agencies of the Bank in Colombia, as necessary for the development of the corporate objective.

Bancolombia S.A.‘s business purpose is to carry out all operations, transactions, acts and services inherent to the banking business through banking establishments that carry its name and according to all applicable legislation.

Bancolombia S.A also has an agency in Miami, Florida, United States of America.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a) Basis of Presentation

For the preparation and disclosures of financial statements, the Bank follows generally accepted accounting principles in Colombia and the special regulations of the Superintendency of Finance, collectively “Colombian Banking GAAP”.

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries were adjusted in order to adopt uniform accounting practices as required by Colombian GAAP.

Intercompany operations and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Bancolombia audited financial statements as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and for years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (the “Audited annual consolidated financial statements”).

Interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments include, for example, appropriate estimated allowance for loan losses, valuation of investments and derivatives, amortizations and depreciations, provisions for contingencies, among others.

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia and United States of America.
 
(b) Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The balance sheet accounts are converted to pesos using the exchange rate applicable at the end of the period (except equity accounts which are translated at the historical exchange rate). The exchange rate at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was COP 1,772.32 and COP 1,913.98 per US$ 1, respectively and the exchange rate at December 31, 2009 was COP 2,044.23 per US$1. For the income accounts the average exchange rate for the six months periods ended June 30 2011 and June 30, 2010 were COP 1,838.79 and COP 1,947.57 per US$ 1, respectively. Exchange differences   originated in balance sheet accounts are recorded as “Cumulative Translation Adjustments” in the line “Others” of the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and the exchange differences originated in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations accounts are recorded as “Foreign exchange gains (loss)” in the line “Other operating income” of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions and balances in foreign currency are converted by the Bank and its Subsidiaries to pesos using the market exchange rates applicable on the corresponding dates, as established by the Superintendency of Finance. The exchange rates at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 are those stated above.

Exchange rate differences arising from adjustments and remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
 
F-9

 

(c) Convenience Translation to U.S. Dollars

The Bank maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in Colombian pesos. The U.S. Dollar amounts presented in the financial statements and accompanying notes have been converted from peso figures solely for the convenience of the reader at the exchange rate of COP 1,929.01 per US$ 1, which is the exchange rate as of the most recent interim financial information published that covers a more current period, calculated on September 30, 2011, by the Superintendency of Finance.

This translation may not be construed to represent that the Colombian peso represents or has been, or could be converted into, U.S. Dollars at that or any other rate.

(d) Policy for new equity taxes

Since 2007 Colombian tax regulations require companies pay annually a special tax defined as “Equity tax”, additionally to the income tax, calculated on their net assets established under tax basis as of January 1 of each year at the tax statutory rate of 1.2%. During 2010 and 2011 a new regulation required companies to calculate this tax only once for the next four years as of January 1, 2011 at the tax rate of 6% and payable in 8 semi-annually installments in four years without interest.  The equity tax calculated by the Bank and its subsidiaries amounts to approximately COP 446,052, which, in accordance with accounting rules in Colombia was recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized one portion against stockholder equity and other portion to income on a straight line basis during the four years. As of June 30, 2011, the Bank has amortized COP 55,732 against equity and COP 7,970 in results, included in the line “Administrative and other expenses” of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of  Operations.

This amount includes investments in fiduciary certificates of participation. These certificates were issued for the Environmental Trust for the conservation of the Coffee Forest (Fideicomiso Ambiental para la Conservación del Bosque Cafetero “FICAFE”). This trust was formed with the transfer of the coffee sector’s loan portfolio by a number of banks in El Salvador, including Banco Agrícola. The purpose of this transaction was to carry out the restructuring of those loans, promoted by the government of El Salvador.

The Bank sold COP 969,809 and COP 2,198,192 of available for sale securities during the periods ended June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Fogafin’s guarantee covers eighty percent (80%) of the first COP 10,000, not considering allowances, and thereafter, one hundred percent (100%), all annually adjusted according to the consumer price index.

At June 30 of 2011, the civil contingencies covered by Fogafin’s guarantee amounted to approximately COP 173, with allowance at the same date amounting to COP 171.

Constitutional public interest action filed by Jose Reinaldo Bolaños:

The plaintiffs argue that, several financial institutions, including Bancolombia have illegally charged amounts not due through illegal capitalization of interest in connection with the agreements to restructure public debt by the municipality of Santiago de Cali, signed in accordance with the fiscal and financial relief law.
 
 
F-17

 

The plaintiffs alleged breach by the financial institutions of collective rights relating to administrative morality and the protection of public heritage of the municipality,  as well as the norms relating to  charging of  interest.

They claim that the financial institutions should reimburse the amounts charged in excess and, as such Bancolombia should pay  COP 88,491

In July 2011, the public interest conciliation hearing took place without an agreement being reached.

As of August 2, 2011 the request and decree for the review and practice of evidence is still pending.
  
Inversiones C.B. S.A.
 
In 1997, Conavi granted a loan of COP 6,000 to Inversiones C.B S.A. for the purpose of building a real estate project. This loan was scheduled to be paid to the borrower in periodic installments based on the progress of the project, this amongst other terms and conditions.

Given the fact that construction work grounded to a halt and the builder fell into arrears, Conavi suspended the payments of the loan, which in the opinion of the plaintiffs gave rise to consequential damages.  The claim filed by the plaintiffs states that the Bank must pay Inversiones C.B S.A. certain sums of money including loss of profits and corresponding interest, the opportunity cost of capital, the value of the project's liabilities as well as the effects of inflation.

This contingency is considered to be remote, since the Parent Company made the periodic installments on the loan according to the terms and conditions agreed upon, and the plaintiffs were at fault in assigning the funds, and other external causes such as the project's lack of feasibility and the crisis prevailing within the construction sector. All of the aforementioned contributed to the failure of the project in question.

In August 2010, a favorable ruling in the first instance was granted to the Bank, which was later appealed by the plaintiff. There is no decision yet with regard to the appeal At present the case is pending judgement in the second instance. Final arguments were presented on February 16, 2011. The case is ready to issue a judgment.

Carlos Julio Aguilar and others.
 
This popular action was filed by the plaintiff arguing that the restructuring of the financial obligations on the part of the Department of Valle and the performance plan signed by said plaintiff allegedly violates the collective rights of public morality and the Department’s heritage.  Evidence was being heard for this action but was suspended due to the amount of proceedings that had accumulated. Therefore it shall be heard in conjunction with another popular action filed by Carlos Aponte based on this same alleged grievance.  Currently the case is pending  the presentation of expert opinion testimony with regard to the amount of interest charged to the Department of Valle by the different banks involved. This process is ready for the issue of judgement.
 
Consitutional public interest action filed by Maria del Rosario Escobar Girona against the Public Ombudsman´s Office and Bancolombia.
 
This suit is based on an alleged infringement of collective rights and interests relating to administrative morality and the defense of public finances, as a result of the alleged failure to pay on the part of the Bank  an amount the Bank was order to pay in a class action suit filed by Luis Alberto Durán.

On September 10, 2009, the Administrative Court No. 42 of Bogota - Fourth Section held a public interest conciliation hearing in connection with the aforementioned case.
 
 
F-18

 

The plaintiff alleged breach by the Bank of collective rights and interests regarding administrative morality and the defense of public property in connection with its failure to pay amounts due under certain arbitral proceedings.

The defendants were notified and the Bank responded to the lawsuit on October 23, 2009. On February 18, 2010, the public interest conciliation hearing failed.

On March 11, 2010 the time allotted for producing evidence was opened.

In September 2010, a conflict of jurisdiction was presented to Administrative Court No. 42 of Bogotá arguing the court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear this Constitutional action. This conflict of jurisdiction was resolved by the Tribunal Administrativo de Cundinamarca in a decision dated September 23, 2010, according to which the Administrative Court No. 42 of Bogota must hear this Constitutional action.

On February 10, 2011, the Administrative Court No. 42 of Bogota held a new public interest conciliation hearing in connection with the aforementioned case.

On February 10, 2011, a new public interest conciliation hearing was held, in which a plan of agreement approved by the plaintiff, la Defensoría del Pueblo and the General Attorney's office was presented.

On February 22, 2011, the judge did not approve the plan of agreement presented by the plaintiff, la Defensoría del Pueblo and the General Attorney's office on February 10, 2011.

On February 28, 2011, the Bank and la Defensoría del Pueblo presented an appeal (recurso de reposición y subsidiariamente de apelación) against the decision made by the judge on February 22, 2011. The case is pending a notice of appeal.
 
Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda and Jose Vicente Katarain Velez.
 
Plaintiffs alleged the liability of CONAVI for damages caused by issuing certificates containing false statements, which mislead a judicial public official. This fact caused pretrial detention and a order  in two instances, to collat evidence relating to criminal investigations of theft and criminal restraint,  against Jose Vicente Katarain Velez.

In addition, the plaintiffs requested payment of interest on damages the period between causation and the moment of full payment, and an order causing the defendant to pay of court costs. Interest is claimed at the maximum rate authorized by the Banking Superintendency (now the Superintendency of Finance) The plaintiff basis his request in the following articles of the Civil Code: 1494, 1613, 1614, 1615, 2341, 2343 paragraph 1, subsection 1, 2356 and 2358.

Mr. Velez was investigated on charges of theft and criminal restraint. In 1992, the Prosecutor officiate CONAVI to furnish information relating to the transactions made in the bank account from which Jose Vicente Katarain would have withdrawn money.

One of the statements of CONAVI contained an erronious date, which , did not match with the date stamped on the receipt of retirement.

The plaintiff alleges that this statement caused economic losses to him and to the Editorial Oveja Negra.

The erroneous statement could have been avoided easily by reading of the documents attached to the report. In our opinion, the error in the statement was not the determining cause of the development of criminal investigations. A factor against CONAVI is that the statement sent certified a wrong date.
 
 
F-19

 

In the ruling in the first instance the judge dismissed the claims and order to pay court costs of the plaintiff, this decision was appealed. The investigation is in the Tribunal Superior de Medellin (the “Superior Court”) and has not been decided. On March 14, 2011 a notice of the ruling of the appeals court was received. This ruling confirms the decision in the first instance, which is favorable to the Bank's interests. On March 24, 2011 the legal representative of the plaintiff filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice.
 
Ordinary lawsuit filed by Gloria Amparo Zuluaga Arcila
 
Alleged damages as a result of debits to the applicant’s accounts in 1995 and 1996. The ordinary lawsuit is related to the acts of the Office of Unicentro of the former BIC (now known as Bancolombia S.A.). Currently, the investigation is in the evidentiary stage, pending for the testimony requested by the Bank. As of June 30, 2011 the evidentiary production remains pending because it was decided to dismiss of the dismissal of  oral evidence due to the fact that they were former employees of the Bank due to the fact that some of them may be difficult to locate.

Sierras del Chicó Ltda. and Chicó Oriental No. 2 Ltda.
 
According to the terms and conditions contained in a guarantee agreement for contingent liabilities entered into by the Parent Company and the Fondo Nacional de Garantías FOGAFÍN (the Colombian National Guarantee Fund) on January 18, 1994, said Fund called for an arbitration panel to be set up  in order for the Parent Company to relinquish the rights held by the former Banco de Colombia in the companies Sierras del Chicó Ltda. and Chicó Oriental No. 2 Ltda. at June 30, 1993.

The Arbitration Panel ruled in favor of FOGAFIN in an award issued on October 21, 2010. The Bank then filed an appeal to revoke the award and requested that compliance with the award be suspended. Both the appeal and such request are being heard by the Third Section of the State Council. The Bank has paid the amount it was ordered to pay in the award. The case is pending of the issue of judgement by the Procuraduria.

Special Requirement
 
On December 27, 2007, the Bank received a notice from the Tax Administration of Medellin (“Administración de Impuestos de Medellin”) regarding the income tax (“impuesto de renta”) for the year 2006, in which the amount of COP 30,390  is at issue and a proposed fine of COP 48,623 is discussed.

On September 23, 2008, the aforementioned tax authorities issued an official tax settlement.

On October 15, 2009, a ruling was given on the appeal regarding the officially revised tax settlement, in which DIAN (the Colombian Tax Authorities) accepted part of the disputed tax amount and fine. Now only COP 20,137 in tax as well as a fine of COP 21,696, remains in dispute.

On March 15, 2010, the Bank filed a motion to vacate and re-establish its rights, as well as the officially reviewed tax settlement dated September 23, 2008. This motion was granted on June 22, 2010.
In April 2011, the judge appointed as rapporteur issued an order denying the accounting inspection requested.

The Bank and its tax advisors consider that the tax return filed for this period was drawn up in compliance with all applicable legislation.

The provision recorded for this contingency amounts to COP 38,543.  This contingency is considered reasonably possible.

BANCO AGRICOLA S.A.

As of June 30, 2011, Banagrícola has the following judicial or administrative litigations:
 
In 2007, a claim for damages was filed before the Fifth Commercial Court of San Salvador against the Bank for its alleged responsibility in handling executive commercial proceedings filed by the Bank against a client in 1989. The amount claimed totaled USD 220,000. The Bank filed an action for the enforcement of its rights before the Civil Division of the Supreme Court of Justice requesting that the case be heard before a Civil Court Judge. On December 5, 2008, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that there were grounds for the action for the enforcement of rights as requested by the Bank. On December 15, 2008, the Fifth Commercial Court of San Salvador ruled that there was a jurisdictional exception and it upheld the right of the plaintiff to file his complaint before a court of competent jurisdiction. Formal notice of such was given to the Bank on January 6, 2009.

On December 8, 2009, notice was given to the Bank of a lawsuit filed against it before the Second Civil Court of San Salvador, which consisted of summary indemnity proceedings claiming damages, both material as well as pain and suffering for USD 284,470 and USD 5,000, respectively.

This proceeding corresponds civil liability claims on traffic accidents for which, according to the experience and supporting evidence in the relevant case law on the part of our defense attorneys, the possibility of a ruling being given against us is remote and therefore the risk is low.   The amount claimed in these proceedings could be high, based on the moral damages normally awarded to this type of accident in the case of deaths or the amount of victims.
 
FIDUCIARIA BANCOLOMBIA S.A.
 
As a part of its normal business operations, Fiduciaria Bancolombia entered into agreement consortium with other trust companies to manage the resources of Fosyga., a trust created by the Colombian government to administer  funds dedicated to providing health benefits of the Colombian people. Such contract, after being extended, ended in September 2011 and the consortium is currently in the process of liquidating the contract. The liquidation is subject to approval by the supervisor designated by the Colombian government and is expected to be completed during the next year. The administration of the consortium has established, as of June 30, 2011 all the provisions corresponding to expenses and contingent liabilities that they are expected to incur during the liquidation process.
 
During 2011, the Colombian government began criminal investigations against several government officials and private health services employees regarding possible irregularities in the payment process of resources of the Fund. As of today, the consortium has not been linked to these criminal investigations; nevertheless, the Contraloría General del Estado Colombiano (Comptroller General of the Colombian State) has notified the consortium of four administrative actions related to potential liabilities relating to payments made with resources of the Fund. The administrator of the consortium has responded to all the Contropller’s inqueries and considers that as a result of this process, the probability of loss is remote.
 
(10) Taxation
 
Income tax

Colombian tax regulations applicable to the Bank and its subsidiaries provide the following:

a)           The applicable statutory tax rate is 33%.

b)           The minimum basis to determine taxable income for the year may not be below 3% of an entity’s net assets, calculated based on the tax basis as of the last day of the immediately preceding taxable year (presumptive income). However, any difference with the ordinary taxable income that would have been paid in the case the 3% net assets threshold, can be deducted in subsequent years, in a similar way as those procedures applied to compensate tax loss carryforwards.

c)           Any non-recurring taxable income is reported and taxed separately from any ordinary taxable income, although the same income tax rate as stated in a) is applicable to both.

Non recurring taxable income is mainly generated by gains obtained from the disposal of fixed assets owned more than two years and gains resulting from the liquidation of partnerships inheritances, legacies and donations.

d)           During 2010 the companies could deduct from their taxable income a special allowance calculated of 30% on their performing property and equipment purchased during the year in addition to their depreciation charges. For 2011, and subsequent years this allowance was eliminated, however, companies under special agreements signed with the Government to maintain taxes stability entered before 2011 can continue deducting this allowances until the maturity of the agreement. If the property and equipment subject to the allowance is disposed before the end of its useful life, an adjustment to income calculated in proportion to the remaining useful life of the asset, should be added to the company’s taxable income basis in the year the asset is sold.
  
 
F-24

 

e)           Intercompany transactions with overseas related parties in countries considered tax havens , are required for income tax purposes, to be considered as taxable income, by considering the prices and profit margins that should have been used in comparable third parties arm’s length transactions.  As of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Bank’s Management and its advisors have not yet concluded the transfer pricing analysis for 2011; however, they consider that based on the satisfactory results of the studies in 2010 and the operations for 2011, no significant additional tax provisions should be required.

Foreign tax regulations in the countries where the Bank has the main foreign subsidiaries provide the following:

a)           In the Bank subsidiaries in Panama (Bancolombia Panama and Subsidiaries, Banagrícola and Banco Agrícola Panama) income tax is governed by the Panamanian Tax Code. Net income obtained by the aforementioned companies is not subject to income tax in Panama.

b)           Bank subsidiaries incorporated in El Salvador pay income taxes on taxable income at statutory rate of 25% obtained within the country.

c)           The Bank subsidiary in Puerto Rico, according to the law governing the International Banking Center is 100% exempt of income taxes, if income is obtained from international banking activities, pursuant to such law.

d)           Bank subsidiaries incorporated in Peru pay income taxes on taxable income at statutory rate of 30% obtained within the country.

Profits obtained in Bank foreign subsidiaries are taxable income in Colombia only when they are distributed as dividends on cash basis; however the Bank management has no plans to return to Colombia all those accumulated profits in their foreign operations (except for those accumulated profits of the subsidiary Valores Bancolombia Panamá, which amounting USD 12,617 at June 30, 2011), that is why the Bank has not recorded any deferred tax liability for this matter. At June 30, 2011, profits accumulated in the Bank foreign operations amounting COP 623,668.

Summary of significant differences and required U.S. GAAP disclosures

a)    Deferred income taxes:

Under Colombian GAAP deferred income taxes are generally recognized for timing differences except for differences related to the amortization of carry-forward losses and the excess of minimum  presumptive income  tax.
 
Under U.S. GAAP, specifically ASC 740, deferred tax assets or liabilities must be recorded for all temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized and settled as prescribed in ASC 740 “Income tax”.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.  For the six-month period ended  June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bank calculated deferred income taxes based on the tax benefits received upon the acquisition of certain property and equipment in accordance to ASC 740-10-25-51.
 
Under U.S. GAAP, specifically ASC 740-10-25, the tax effect of asset purchases that are not business combinations in which the amount paid differs from the tax basis of the asset shall not result in immediate income statement recognition.  The simultaneous equations method shall be used to record the assigned value of the asset and the related deferred tax asset. Therefore, for the purpose of this reconciliation the initial book value of such deduction calculated according to ASC 740-10-25 is recorded as a deferred tax asset decreasing the book value of such assets. After that, the deductions taken to current income tax expense for Colombian GAAP are reversed and decrease the corresponding deferred tax asset under U.S. GAAP.
 
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the Bank recorded COP 284,768 and COP 189,744, respectively, as a consequence of the application of the effective tax rate to the Bank's pre-tax income for such periods. The effective tax rates for the six- month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were determined based on actual results during those periods..
 
The statutory income tax rate was 33.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 which differs from the 50.60% and 21.93% effective tax rates respectively. The variation of the effective tax rate in June 2011 and 2010 mainly due to the effect of equity tax described in literal (v), wich is non deductable for income tax purposes.
 
Uncertainty in income taxes under ASC 740-10

The Bank followed the provisions contained in ASC 740-10 with regard to uncertainty in income taxes.
 
The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
 
The Bank records interest and penalties, when necessary, related to the probable losses in other expenses in the statements of operations.
 
The Bank is not aware of positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will be significantly increased or decreased within 12 months of the reporting date.

U.S. GAAP requires the recognition of pension costs based on actuarial computations under a prescribed methodology which differs from that used under Colombian GAAP as indicated below:
 
Pension Plan

Under Colombian laws in 1967 the Goverment Social Security Institute assumed the pension obligation for the majority of the Bank’s employees; however, employees who had more than ten years of service prior to that date, continued participating in the Bank’s non-contributory unfunded defined benefit pension plan. Under this unfunded plan, benefits are based on length of service and level of compensation
 
The measurement for this pension plan obligation differs from Colombian GAAP to U.S. GAAP basically due to the fact that Colombian GAAP requires calculation of the projected benefit obligation using nominal average historical discount rates and the liability is amortized against expenses, on a straight line basis, over defined periods established by the local rules. Since 2010, new increases in the liability related to changes in mortality tables, are amortized until the year 2029.
 
For U.S. GAAP purposes, actuarial valuations of pension plans are performed annually using discount rates based on a review of high quality corporate bonds yields with maturities approximating the remaining life of the projected benefit obligation. Changes in the projected benefit obligation due to gains or losses for changes in actuarial assumptions and prior service costs are recorded against Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and amortized to expenses on a straight line basis over the future service periods of the employees or for inactive participants in the plan over their remaining life expectancy. Amortization of accumulated gains or losses, only begin when they exceed 10% of the projected benefit obligations.
 
 
F-32

 
 
Net period pension costs taken to expenses include the service cost attributed by the plans benefit formula, interest cost and amortization of prior services cost and actuarial gains or losses on the plan as explained above.
 
Severance obligation
 
Under Colombian labor regulations, employees hired before 1990 are entitled to receive one month’s salary for each year of service.  This benefit accumulates and is paid to the employees upon their termination or retirement from the Bank, calculated on the last employees’ salary base; however, employees may request advances against this benefit at any time. In 1990, the Colombian government revised its labor regulations for new employees to permit companies, subject to the approval of the employees, to transfer this obligation annually to private pension funds.  The Bank severance obligation relate to employees hired before 1990.
 
Under Colombian GAAP the liability for this unfunded employee benefit plan is recorded on an accrual basis. For US GAAP purposes the liability is calculated and recorded on an actuarial basis   by pension plan in accordance with ASC 715.

Retirement Premium Pension Plan

Under Colombian labor regulations, employers and employees are entitled to negotiate compensations, other than benefit plans stated by the law, by means of private agreements. As the result of an agreement signed by the Bank with its employees who are entitled to enjoy their pension assumed by the pension funds, the Bank pays  their employees an one-time premium  at the moment of the employee retirement date. Since 2008 under Colombian GAAP this liability was accumulated on an accrual basis; however, in 2011 the obligation was calculated in the same way as U.S. GAAP and the difference was eliminated.

Inflation adjustment

The consolidated financial statements under Colombian GAAP were adjusted for inflation based on the variation in the local index consumer price (IPC), from January 1, 1992, to December 31, 2000.

Financial statements are adjusted for inflation under U.S. GAAP when an entity operates in a hyperinflationary environment.  The U.S. GAAP adjustment represents the cumulative inflation adjustment on the Bank’s non-monetary assets for inflation occurring prior to January 1, 2001, less depreciation expense.

Capitalization of Interest Cost

Under Colombian GAAP, the interest costs incurred during the construction of fixed assets are recorded as expenses in the Bank‘s statement of operations. Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with ASC 835-20, the Bank has capitalized interest costs incurred during the construction of real estate. The capitalized interest is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.

Impairment of long lived assets

In the case of all vehicles of Renting Colombia, recorded as equipment under operating leases, under Colombian GAAP, if their book values are greater than their fair value, this amount is recorded in a separate valuation against the assets and in stockholders’ equity as revaluation of assets, but if their fair value are lower than their book values, the difference is recorded as an allowance in the balance sheet and in the net income.

Under U.S. GAAP, in accordance with ASC 360-10-35, these assets are subject to recognition of an impairment loss if the book values of those assets are not recoverable and exceedtheir fair value.  The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and then an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets.

 Real estate held for sale

According to Colombian GAAP, these assets are recorded similarly to real estate in use.

Under U.S. GAAP, long-held assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower between carrying amount and fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not subject to depreciation.

d)            Revaluation of assets

 In accordance with Colombian GAAP, reappraisals of a portion of the Bank’s premises and equipment, equity investments and other non-monetary assets are made periodically and  the effects of the increase or decrease are recorded in the balance sheet under the assets caption “reappraisal of assets” and in the stockholders’ equity caption “Surplus from reappraisals of assets”.  The latest revaluations were made during the year 2010 and the six month period ended at June 30, 2011.  Under U.S. GAAP, reappraisals of assets are not permitted and thus these amounts are reversed.

e)             Allowance for loan losses, financial leases, foreclosed assets and other receivables

As established by the Superintendency of Finance, the methodology for evaluating loans and financial leases under Colombian GAAP, as discussed in Note 2 (i) of the Annual Financial Statement, is based on their inherent risk characteristics and serves as a basis for recording loss allowances based on loss percentages estimated or established by Superintendency of Finance. Under Colombian GAAP, the loan loss allowance is determined and monitored on an ongoing basis, and is established through periodic provisions charged to statements of operations.
 
F-34

 

Under U.S. GAAP the Bank considers loans to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due (including principal and/or interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected.

All impaired loans that exceed a specific threshold (COP 2,000 million) or that are troubled debt restructurings (TDR) are individually assessed for impairment.  All other loans are assessed on a collective basis. TDRs are those loans where both a) the Bank has granted a concession to the customer for economic or legal reasons that it would not otherwise consider and b) the customer is in financial difficulty.  In determining whether a loan is impaired the Bank analyzes factors such as bankruptcy or liquidation, the customer’s financial condition, the likelihood of non-payment of interest or principal and collateral.

The allowance for significant impaired individually assessed loans  and all TDRs  is measured  based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective loan rate or on the fair value of the collateral net of estimated costs to sell in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is provided when estimated future cash flows discounted at their original effective rate or collateral fair value is lower than book value.

To calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance loans and all other loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, historical loss ratios are determined by analyzing historical losses. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and for homogeneous groups of clients established according to the underlying risk or other characteristics of each group. Such historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

Many factors can affect the Bank’s estimates of the allowance for loan losses, including volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity.

Credit losses relating to loans, which may be for all or part of a particular loan are deducted from the allowance. The related loan balance is charged off in the year in which the loans are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of loans and trade receivables previously charged off are credited to the allowance when received. The allowance is increased by provisions and recoveries of loans and leases previously charged off, and are reduced by charged-off loans and leases deemed uncollectible.

In addition, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees granted, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. This allowance is recorded as a liability. The Bank uses the same methodology as described for the allowance for loans losses, but including an estimated probability of drawdown by the borrower.

Foreclosed assets

Under Colombian GAAP the Superintendency of Finance requires the Bank to record a provision equal to 60% for foreclosed real estate and 70% for other foreclosed assets, in each case based on the carrying value of the asset at the time of receipt, which provision must be recorded in proportional monthly installments within the two years following their receipt. Once the legal term for sale has expired, the provision must be increased to 80% and 100%, respectively.  If an extension of the term to sell the asset is granted by the Superintendence, this increase may be recorded on a monthly basis during the new term.

Also, it is the Bank’s policy, in the case of foreclosed assets that remain for more than 5 years in the Bank’s possession to increase the provision to 100% of its book value.

Under U.S. GAAP, foreclosed assets are recorded as assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying amount of the loans or fair value of assets less their cost to sell. Gains or losses from the realization of foreclosed assets are included in the statement of operations.

For June 30, 2011, the difference of COP (102,674) between the reconciliations of June 30, 2011 COP (261,783) and December 31, 2010 COP (159,109) that are recognized as adjustments to Colombian GAAP stockholders’ equity is different from the difference recognized in net income under U.S.GAAP COP (100,400) in the amount of COP 2,274 due to the cumulative translation adjustment related to foreign operations recorded in other the comprehensive income.

An analysis of the activity in the allowance for loans and financial lease losses under U.S. GAAP during the six- month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
   
June 30, 2011(1)

Allowance  at the beginning of the period
  COP 2,837,927     COP 2,740,501

Allowance  at the end of the period as a percentage of gross loans
    5.03 %     6.67 %
                 
Provision for credit losses as percentage of gross loans(3)
    0.51 %     1.07 %
   

(1)
The allowance at the end of the year differs by COP 56,804 from the amount of COP 3,026,997 "allowance for credit losses under U.S. GAAP" discussed below. This difference corresponds to: a) The amount of COP 67,222 to the following lines that impact the allowance for loan losses under U.S.GAAP and are included in other reconciliations lines: Lessor accounting COP 9,454; Securitization non-performing loans COP 1,167; Business Combinations COP 49,405 and Interest recognition on non-accrual loans COP 7,196. b)  Allowance for loans's contingencies in the amount of COP (10,418).
(2)
See letter q) Discontinued Operations in this Note of Reconciliation.
(3)
The decrease in provisions for credit losses as percentage of gross loans was due mainly to the new vintages of loans have a low deterioration combined with a decrease in past due loans during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Rating
 
Qualitative Factors
A - Normal Risk
 
Loans and financial leases in this category are appropriately serviced. The debtor‘s financial statements or its projected cash flows, as well as all other credit information available to the Bank, reflect adequate paying capacity.
B - Acceptable Risk, Above Normal
 
Loans and financial leases in this category are acceptably serviced and guaranty protected, but there are weaknesses which may potentially affect, on a transitory or permanent basis, the debtor‘s paying capacity or its projected cash flows, to the extent that, if not timely corrected, would affect the normal collection of credit or contracts.
C - Appreciable Risk
 
Loans and financial leases in this category represent insufficiencies in the debtors‘ paying capacity or in the project‘s cash flow, which may compromise the normal collection of the obligations.
D – Significant Risk
 
Loans and financial leases in this category are deemed uncollectible.
E – Unrecoverable
 
Loans and financial leases in this category are considered default loans.

Accounting Policies

Loans and Financial Leases
 
The Bank grants loans to customers in the following segments: residential mortgage, commercial, consumer and small business loans. A substantial portion of the Bank loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout Colombia.
 
Loans and Financial Leases are recorded at the principal outstanding less allowance for impairment and include loan origination fees and cost and accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest unearned income is recorded as a liability.

Assets Serving as Collateral

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Bank had pledged investments securities amounting to COP 2,540,902 and COP 1,292,211, respectively as collateral to secure lines of credit at international banks, domestic development banks and other financial institutions.

Sales of financing receivables

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011 the Bank sold residential mortgage loans to the Titularizadora Colombiana for COP 131,613. The Bank recognized a gain on sale for COP 3,535.
 
Policies for the granting and review of credit

The Bank’s credit standards and policies aim to achieve a high level of credit quality in the Bank’s loan portfolio, efficiency in the processing of loans and the specific assignment of responsibilities for credit risk.
 
To maintain credit quality and manage the risk arising from its lending activities, the Bank has established general loan policies for the evaluation of credits, the determination of lending limits to customers and the level of management authority required to approve a loan.  In addition, the Bank has established a centralized area for credit analysis, the disbursement process and the management and custody of promissory notes and guarantees.
 
Bancolombia’s policies require every credit to be analyzed using the following factors:  the credit history of the borrower, the type of business the borrower engages in, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the coverage and suitability of the proposed collateral for the loan and information received from the two credit risk bureaus currently operating in Colombia.
 
In addition to the analysis of the borrower, the Bank assesses the different economic sectors to which the Bank makes loans and has established guidelines for financial analysis of the borrower and for participation in investment projects in and outside Colombia.
 
The Bank applies lending limits to borrowers established under Colombian law, which require that: (i) uncollateralized loans to a single customer or economic group may not exceed 10% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital, (ii) collateralized loans to a single customer or economic group may not exceed 25% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; (iii) a loan to a stockholder of the Bank, who owns a position exceeding 20% of the Bank’s Capital, may not exceed 20% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; and (iv) a loan to a financial institution may not exceed 30% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital.
    
 
F-43

 

 
In general, the term of a loan will depend on the type of guarantee, the credit history of the borrower and the purpose of the loan. Approximately 70% of the portfolio of the Bank has a maturity of five years or less.
 
Loan applications, depending on their amount, are presented for approval to branch managers, the zone or regional managers, the Vice Presidents, the President, the Credit Committee and the board of directors of Bancolombia. In general, loan application decisions are made by the Bank’s management in the corresponding committee. These policies apply to all segments evaluated.
 
Loans to managers, directors and affiliates of the Bank must be approved by the board of directors of the Bank, which has the authority to grant loans in any principal amount subject to the Bank’s legal lending limit.
 
The Bank has established its policies for the valuation of collateral received as well as for the determination of the maximum loan amount that can be granted against the value of the collateral. Periodically, the Bank undertakes a valuation of collateral held as security for loans. In addition, for retail and mortgage, when a loan becomes between 5 and 60 days past due, an external collection company assists in obtaining payments. For commercial lending this procedure for collecting is performed internally. When a loan becomes 60 days past due, the loan will be given to an independent and specialized division where recovery steps will be taken.

With respect to monitoring outstanding loans, the Bank, in accordance with the requirements of the Superintendency of Finance, has implemented regional committees and a central qualification office to undertake a biannual evaluation of the loan portfolio, during the months of May and November of each year.  At least 50% of the outstanding portfolio is evaluated by the Bank under the rules of the Superintendency of Finance.  Clients evaluated have, among others, the following characteristics: high exposure, more than 30 days past due, bad record of historical payment behavior either with the Bank or the financial system and restructured loans or loans that are part of the watch list. Also are included the 30 clients for which the bank has the largest exposure and the 30 clients with the least exposure in each region, and 30 more randomly selected. When monitoring outstanding loans, the Bank examines current financial statements of the borrower including cash flow and financial indicators.

Additionally, all of the Bank’s loans are evaluated monthly based on the days they are past due, (from 30 days past due). When reviewing loans, Bancolombia evaluates and updates their risk classification and makes corresponding adjustments in the provisions, if needed.
 
In addition, the Bank carries out a credit audit process that reviews clients with financial weaknesses, early past due loans, clients in sectors that are underperforming, and branches with high records of write offs, among others.
 
 f) 
   Loan origination fees and costs

Under Colombian GAAP, the Bank recognizes commissions (origination fees) on loans, lines of credit and letters of credit when collected and records related direct costs when incurred.  For U.S. GAAP, under ASU 310-20, “Receivables Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”, loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield.

g)           Interest recognition – non-accrual loans

For Colombian GAAP purposes, the Bank established that commercial, consumer and small loans that are past due more than thirty days and mortgages that are past due more than 60 days will stop accruing interest in the statement of operations and their entries will be made in memorandum accounts until effective payment is collected.
  
 
F-44

 

For US GAAP purposes for all of our classes of financing receivables, including impaired loans, the accrual of interest income is discontinued once a loan becomes more than 90 days past due. While the loan is on non-accrual status, interest is generally recognized as income on a cash basis unless collection of principal is doubtful, in which case, cash collections are applied against the unpaid principal balance.  A loan in non-accrual status is returned to accrual when all the past due balance has been collected.

h)
Deferred charges

For Colombian GAAP purposes, the Bank has deferred certain pre-operating expenses, and other charges, which are expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP.

Under Colombian GAAP, the cost of issuance of bonds is recorded by the Bank as a deferred charge and amortized on a monthly basis over a term of three (3) years. Nevertheless, under U.S. GAAP (ASC 350-40), the cost of issuance of bonds must be amortized over the life of the bonds.

Under Colombian GAAP, the payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project, are recorded by the Bank as a expense. Under U.S. GAAP the payroll-related costs are capitalized during the application development stage in accordance with ASC 350-40-25.

Under Colombian GAAP, the Bank accounted for improvements on leased property in the statement of operation as expenses. Under U.S. GAAP, leasehold improvements are recorded as property and equipment and amortized on a monthly basis over the term of the contract.

Fair value adjustment on trading and available for sale investment securities

Under Colombian GAAP, some debt securities classified as either trading or available for sale are not recognized at fair value, but are recognized at amortized cost using a discounted cash flow methodology.  Under U.S. GAAP such debt securities are also classified as either trading or available for sale and are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 320-10-35. The fair value under U.S. GAAP is determined based on the guidance included in ASC 820.
 
 
Therefore, the Bank calculates the difference between the carrying amount of such securities under Colombian GAAP and the fair value under U.S. GAAP and recognizes the accumulated difference as part of the Reconciliation of Stockholders’ Equity and the difference from the period as part of the Reconciliation of Consolidated Net Income for trading securities or in Other Accumulated Comprehensive Income, for available for sale securities, respectively.

Classification of securities as held to maturity

Certain securities issued or secured by the Colombian government are classified as held to maturity under Colombian GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP, as the Bank has not the positive intent to hold those securities to maturity due to certain waivers permitted under Colombian rules, they are reclassified as available for sale securities.

Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses on Securities Available For Sale

Under Colombian GAAP, changes in the fair value as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on available for sale debt securities are reflected in the consolidated Statements of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, those changes are reflected in stockholders’ equity.

Impairment of investments

For both Colombian and U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank conducts regular reviews to assess whether the recognition of an impairment loss is required.

Under Colombian GAAP, the Bank reviews the ratings issued by rating agencies, and if any security in its portfolio has been classified below B, the Bank applies “the maximum registered amount” methodology established by the Superintendency of Finance, as follows:
 
Rating
 
Maximum registered
amount – percentage rate
BB+, BB, BB-
 
Ninety (90)
B+, B, B-
 
Seventy (70)
CCC
 
Fifty (50)
DD, EE
 
Zero (0)

If  the  carrying amount is higher than the maximum registered amount (calculated as the product of the security’s face value net of amortization multiplied by the corresponding percentage rate), an impairment loss equivalent to such difference is recognized immediately in the Statement of Operations.  As an example, for an Eurobond issued by the government of El Salvador with a face value of US$ 100,000 and a credit rating of BB as of June 30, 2011 and a carrying amount (fair value) of US$140,000, an impairment loss of US$50,000 would have been recognised under Colombian GAAP [140,000 – (100,000 x 90%)]. Under U.S. GAAP, we would not recognize any impairment as the fair value is higher than the amortized cost.Consequently, as of December 31, 2010, the Bank reversed COP 32,459, which corresponds to the reversal of the impairment, recognized under Colombian GAAP.
  
 
F-46

 


As a consequence of this procedure, under Colombian GAAP, the Bank has recognized a valuation allowance in its net income for debt securities amounted to COP 31,938 and COP 44,399, as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Changes in valuation allowances for debt securities are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as ocurred.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, under Colombian GAAP, the Bank has reversed COP 14,658. For U.S. GAAP purposes valuation allowances are not allowed to be reversed.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank considers a number of factors in performing an impairment analysis of securities. Those factors include:

 
a.
the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been less than cost;

 
b.
the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer (such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment, or the discontinuance of a segment of a business that may affect the future earnings potential); and

 
c.
the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time that allows for any anticipated recovery in market value . Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank evaluates the intention to sell an impaired debt security and the likelihood that it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost.

The Bank also takes into account changes in global and regional economic conditions and changes related to specific issuers or industries that could adversely affect these values.

Under U.S. GAAP, a security is impaired if the fair value is below its cost and it will be recognized in the Statement of Operations if it is considered to be an Other Than Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”).

For debt securities, when the Bank intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is deemed to have occurred. In these instances, the OTTI loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.

Otherwise, when the Bank does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Bank determines whether it will recover its amortized cost basis. If it concludes it will not, a credit loss exists and the resulting OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).  The total OTTI (difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the debt security) is presented in the Statement of Operations with an offset in a separate line item for any amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in OCI.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank determined that the impairment recognized under Colombian GAAP for debt securities rated as B was not other than temporary.

The substantial majority of the investments in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more are primarily mandatory securities issued or secured by the Colombian Government, denominated in pesos and Unidad de Valor Real (the “Real Value Unit” or “UVR”). These securities were issued with a fixed interest rate and average maturity of less than eight years. The Bank has determined that unrealized losses on investments at June 30, 2011 are temporary in nature because it does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. The Bank has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all gross unrealized losses. Accordingly, the Bank has not recognized any other-than temporary impairment for these securities.

 
F-47

 

As of June 30, 2011, 419 investment securities were in a gross unrealized loss position.

Due to the impairment assessment performed under U.S. GAAP, the Bank has recognized impairment for debt securities amounted to COP 11,705 and COP 11,791, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
Fair value adjustment on derivatives instruments

Fair value measurement of derivative instruments under Colombian GAAP is similar to U.S. GAAP, specifically ASC 820, except under Colombian GAAP performance risk is not considered in the determination of the fair value. Likewise, the swap instrumentday one fair value under Colombian GAAP is deferred and amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the instrument. Under U.S. GAAP, all the changes in the fair value of trading derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Operations. According to ASC 820 requirements, counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset and the Bank’s credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability.

Additionally, on February 5, 2011, Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banco Agrícola S.A., subsidiaries of Bancolombia S.A., and Suramericana S.A., signed an agreement pursuant to which Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banco Agrícola S.A. agreed to sell to Suramericana 97.03% of their shares of capital stock of Asesuisa, an insurance company in the Republic of El Salvador. Banagrícola S.A. and InversionesFinancieras Banco Agrícola S.A. will receive a total of USD 98,000 as payment for the shares.
 
As of June 30, 2011, the aforementioned transactions are pending approval by the respective authorities in Colombia and in El Salvador but under Colombian accounting rules the entities have been deconsolidated since January 1, 2011 and the net investments in these entities are shown in the balance sheet as investments held for sale.

Under US GAAP according to ASC 205-20-45-1, the results of operations of those entities have been classified as held for sale and taking into account for consolidation purposes, See “Note 31, q) Discontinued operations”.

Consolidation of VIEs

In 2008, the Bank and Suramericana Group, created Fondo de Capital Privado Colombia Inmobiliaria (the “Fund”), with the purpose of investing in real estate property. As a result during the years 2010 and 2009 Suramericana Group transferred real estate property amounting COP 31,499 and COP 36,840 respectively to the Fund.

Under Colombian GAAP, the interest in participations of funds are classified as equity securities as trading or available for sale.  The interest in the Fund in the amount of COP 221,012 and  COP 202,991 were classified as trading in June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 , respectively. Furthermore, under Colombian GAAP there is no specific guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities and therefore, the consolidation analysis is based solely on the voting rights concept, under which the condition for a controlling financial interest, is ownership of over 50% of the outstanding voting shares.

During 2009, the Bank ceased consolidating the Fund under Colombian GAAP due to the entrance of other investors that decreased its share in the Fund below 50%.

 
F-48

 

Under U.S. GAAP  as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Bank has identified the Fund as a variable interest entity because the only holder of equity investment at risk, lacks the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions about the Fund's activities that have a significant effect on the success of the Fund. The Bank is identified as the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the Fund that most significantly impact the Fund’s economic performance and receive benefits or absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For this reason, assets of the Fund, as well as its liabilities and results of operations were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Bank as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010. The Bank recognizes a non controlling interest in the amount of COP 140,802 at June 30, 2011 and COP 139,076 at December 31, 2010.

The table below presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Fund under U.S GAAP consolidated by the Bank as of June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, under U.S. GAAP:

j)
Dividends received from Investments in unaffiliated companies.

Under Colombian GAAP, stock dividends are recorded as income; under U.S. GAAP, dividends paid in the form of additional shares of common stock are not recorded as income. Instead, the costs of the shares previously held are allocated equitably to the total shares held after receipt of the stock dividend. When any shares are later disposed of, a gain or loss is determined on the basis of the adjusted cost per share.

During the six month period ended June 30,2011, the Bank has not received stock dividends, and consequently the Bank’s results of operations and financial position under U.S. GAAP has not been affected by this reconciliation adjustments.

k)
Investments in affiliates.

Under Colombian GAAP, investments in affiliates where the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence are recorded at cost and classified as available for sale.

The difference between the cost and equity participation is recorded as reappraisal of assets in assets and stockholders’ equity. This reappraisal is reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Under U.S. GAAP, investments where the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence are   recorded using the equity method.

 
F-52

 
 
l)
Lessor accounting

Certain of the Bank’s subsidiaries lease assets to third parties under non-cancelable lease arrangements. These lease arrangements involve machinery and equipment, computer equipment, automobile and furniture and fixtures and their terms range between three and five years.

Under Colombian GAAP, for financial entities, leases are classified as either financial leases or operating leases, according to the terms of the lease agreements. Goods provided through leases to third parties with a purchase option are recorded in the loan portfolio. Goods provided through operating leases are recorded as property, plant and equipment. For both types of leasing, their initial measurement represents the value to be financed of the good to be leased (that is, the acquisition or construction cost) and the value of the improvement and expenses that can be capitalized, which represent a greater value of the lease operation to be financed.

Under U.S. GAAP, from the stand point of the lessor, leases are classified as direct finance leases or operating leases. Leases are classified as direct finance leases if certain criterias are met in the lease contract; otherwise they are classified as operating leases. The net investments in direct financing leases represent the present value of the minimum lease payments plus the unguaranteed residual value.

m)
Business combinations

m.i)  Purchase method of accounting

In regard to a business combination, the purchase method of accounting under Colombian GAAP requires that (i) the purchase price be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of their book value, (ii) the statement of income of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs include the income of the acquired company as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the reporting period and (iii) the costs directly related to the purchase business combination not be considered as a cost of the acquisition, but deferred and amortized over a reasonable period as determined by management.

Each of the Banagrícola S.A. and Factoring Bancolombia acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method under Colombian GAAP, in accordance with the methodology suggested by the Superintendency of Finance.

In regard to a business combination, the purchase method of accounting under U.S. GAAP requires that (i) the purchase price be allocated to the identifiable acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of fair market value, (ii) the statement of operations of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs include the income of the acquired company after the date of acquisition.

m.ii) Goodwill

Under Colombian GAAP, goodwill derived from business combinations effective before October 2006, is amortized over a maximum period of ten years. In business combinations that occurred after October 2006, the resulting goodwill is amortized on a term of twenty (20) years, unless the entity voluntarily selects a shorter period of amortization using an exponential method. Under this method the charge for amortization is increased exponentially every year. However, the Bank, since January, 2008, has used the straight-line method to amortize goodwill, since the Bank considers this method provides a better association between the revenues and expenses corresponding to this investment.

Under Colombian GAAP, in the case of goodwill acquired by the Bank and its subsidiaries before the date when the new regulation came into full force in year 2007, the amortization term was maintained from three to ten years for goodwill recorded in the subsidiaries Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banagrícola S.A., as permitted by Superintendency of Finance at the acquisition date.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank does not amortize goodwill, but it is subject to an annual impairment test.

 
F-53

 

Under ASC 350, the goodwill impairment analysis is done in two steps. The first step requires a comparison of the fair value of the individual reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and a second step of testing is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any, for that reporting unit.

When required, the second step of testing involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill for each of the affected reporting units. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit determined in step one over the fair value of the net assets and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit were being acquired. If the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill in the pro forma purchase price allocation, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment charge recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit and cannot be reversed subsequently even if the fair value of the reporting unit recovers.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank annually performs the required impairment test of each reporting segment’s goodwill. During the first six month period ended June 30, 2011, no goodwill was written off due to impairment and no interim impairment test on goodwill was performed. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually during the third quarter at the reporting unit level and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. There were no triggering events present as of June 30, 2011, for any reporting unit and an interim goodwill impairment test is not required.

The Bank continues to monitor the Colombian and Salvadorian market share participation, as well some other triggering events in the interim period to identify any events that could impact adversely the business models. The fair value as a percentage of allocated book value for El Salvador Banking reporting segment and Colombia Banking reporting segment are 224% and 256%, respectively, based on the results of the goodwill impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of 2010.

m.iii) Intangible Assets

Under Colombian GAAP, the purchase method of accounting allocates to goodwill all of the excess value paid derived from business combinations. Under U.S. GAAP acquired intangible assets, are assigned to registered brands, deposits, customers relationship and others.

The activity of the Bank‘s intangible assets for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, is as follows:

F-54

 

m.iv) Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired

Under Colombian GAAP, the purchase method of accounting allocates to goodwill all of the excess value paid derived from business combinations. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the primary financial statements allocate the fair value adjustments to each of the respective assets and liabilities. Currently, the Bank recognizes adjustments to the Stockholders’ Equity related to business combination due to fair value adquisition date differences in fixed and foreclosed assets, time deposits, long-term debt, loans and securitization of non-performing loans.

Transfers of financial assets

The Bank securitizes performing and non-performing mortgage loans using different securitization vehicles.

The Bank transfers performing and non-performing mortgages to (SPE) Special Purpose Entities which are not related parties. The special purpose entities issue notes (debt securities) and use the proceeds to buy the residential mortgage portfolio from Bancolombia and other Colombian banks. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities may be issued and are generally collateralized by the transferor.

The securitized loans may be serviced by the Bank or by third parties. The Bank may also retain an interest in the form of the securities acquired and fees on the securitized receivable.

Under Colombian GAAP, the securitization of performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans is recorded as sales of financial assets and therefore, securitized loans have been removed from the Bank’s balance sheet. Additionally, the Bank recognizes in the income statement at the moment of the operation the difference between the book value of the securitized portfolio and the value received.

Before 2010 under U.S. GAAP, if the SPE activities were sufficiently restricted to meet certain accounting requirements in order to be considered a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE), the trust was not consolidated by the seller of the transferred assets. Additionally, under ASC 810, if trusts other than QSPEs met the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE), the Bank evaluated whether the Bank was the primary beneficiary of the trust and, if so, was required to consolidate it.

Under U.S. GAAP, since January 2010 when an entity transfers financial assets, need to assess first whether the transferee should be consolidated. The party that has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly imapct the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, it is considered the primary beneficiary and therefore should consolidate the VIE.

The maximum exposure to loss in those VIEs includes the amount invested in, and advanced to, each VIE as of the reporting date plus any legal or contractual obligations to provide financing in the future.  The Bank has neither legal or contractual obligations to provide financing in the future to the VIEs where it holds a variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary, therefore its maximum exposure to loss equals the carrying amounts of the variable interests recognized in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

For transfers of financial assets, the Bank first assesses the consolidation principle and for those financial assets where the Bank is not the primary beneficiary, the sale accounting under US GAAP is further assessed.  If considered a sale, the transferred assets are removed from the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet with a recognized gain or loss.  If not a sale, the transfer is considered a secured borrowing, resulting in the recognition of a liability in the consolidated balance sheet.

The table below presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of VIEs which have been consolidated on the Bank’s balance sheet at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

    2,033,587       2,244,528  
Allowance for loans losses
  COP (148,365 )   COP (162,443 )

The allowance for loan losses represents the management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is calculated based on criteria described in e) “Allowance for loan losses, financial leases, foreclosed assets and other receivables”.

The Bank did not provide any additional financial support to these VIEs or others during 2011. Further, the Bank does not have any contractual commitments or obligations to provide additional financial support to these VIEs or others. The investors in debt securities issued by the securitization entities have no recourse to other assets of the Bank.

Cash flows received from securitization entities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to COP 111,712 and COP 2,972, respectively.

The Bank received servicing fees from Titularizadora Colombiana S.A. (structuring) of COP 14,436 and COP 11,395 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Bank believes that the fees reflects an adequate compensation for the services and are priced based on market value.

The securitization transactions are source of funding for the Bank. The securitization of performing loans transfers the risks of the loan portfolio to the holders of the debt securities issued by the securitization entities.

 
F-56

 

Securitization of Non-performing Loans
 
The Bank retains all the risks of the securitized non-performing loans portfolio. In case of default of the borrower of the loan, the Bank is required to contribute other loan or cash to the securitization entity in order to ensure the debt securities issue are been paid. Those securitization transactions are consolidated under U.S. GAAP.

Retained Interests in the Securitization vehicles

According to Superitendency regulations any residual beneficial interest retained by the Bank in a securitization process must be recorded as a trading investment in an amount equal to the value established for the beneficial interest in the balance sheet of the special purpose entity created for such purpose.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, retained interests in those securitization vehicles that are not subject to consolidation as of June 30, 2011, as the Bank was not considered to be the primary beneficiary in accordance with ASC 810, should be recognized and recorded at fair value, as available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with ASC 320. To determine their fair values of these securities, the Bank discounted the estimated future cash flows of these securities.

For securities classified as available for sale, unrealized gains or losses over the amortized cost basis are charged to equity through Other Comprehensive Income, unless unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary, in which case they are charged to the Statement of Operations.

Securities held for the purpose of selling them in the short term are classified as “trading” and are reported at fair value, with gains and losses included in earnings.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the amortized cost, unrealized gain/loss and fair value of financial trusts qualifying for sale treatment but not subject to consolidation as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are as follows:

Foreign currency translation adjustment

Under Colombian GAAP, for purposes of consolidation, the income accounts of foreign currency financial statements, are converted to pesos using the average exchange rates, the exchange difference originated in the consolidated statement of operations accounts is recorded as foreign exchange gain loss in results.

Under U.S. GAAP, according to ASC 830 and ASC 220, the translation adjustments shall be reported as a component of stockholders’ equity, in other comprehensive income.

 
F-57

 

 p)
Non-controlling Interest

The non-controlling interest corresponds to the proportional adjustments to the stockholders’ equity and net income originated by the subsidiaries where the Bank holds less than 100% of participation.

Under Colombian GAAP, the non-controlling interest is presented as minority interest outside stockholders’ equity. For U.S. GAAP purposes, as of January 1, 2009, the Bank adopted ASC 810-10-65-65-1 which requires the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries to be classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, consolidated net income and comprehensive income are reported with separate disclosure of the amounts attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. The presentation and disclosure requirements have been applied restrospectively for all periods presented on the Supplemental Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

Discontinued Operations

On January 29, 2010, Bancolombia sold to Inversiones EGEO I S.A.S 98.25% of its direct interest held through Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. in Inversiones Valores y Logística S.A. The Bank registered in 2010 a gain on sale of this investment for COP 27,995.

As explained in Note 2 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 the Bank entered into two agreements to sell the subsidiaries AFP Crecer and Asesuisa S.A. in the Republic of El Salvador. At June 30, 2011, the transactions are pending  approval by the respective authorities in Colombia and El Salvador but management of the Bank does not expect any objections to these  matters. (See “Condensed Consolidated Interinm Financial Statements as of 30, June 2011 and December 31, 2010”, note 12) Subsecuent events).

Under Colombian GAAP for consolidation purposes subsidiaries that are likely to be temporary are not consolidated and for this reason the aforementioned subsidiaries were deconsolidated on January 1, 2011 and the net investments in these subsidiaries are reflected in the balance sheet as investments held for sale.

Under US GAAP according to ASC 205-20-45-1, the results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, shall be reported in discontinued operations if both of the following conditions are met:

a.    The operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction.

b.   The entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

r)
Guarantees and off- balance sheet credit exposures

In order to meet the needs of its customers, the Bank issues financial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees.

Standby letters of credit and bank guarantees are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The Bank typically has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, the Bank may hold cash or other highly liquid collateral to support these guarantees.

Under US GAAP, the Bank recognizes as a liability the fair value of the obligations assumed at its reception.  Such liabilities are being amortized over the expected term of the guarantee.

In addition, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank maintains an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments.  Off–balance sheet credit instruments include commitments to extend credit, guarantees granted, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. The Bank uses the same methodology as described for the allowance for loans losses in letter (e), adjusted by an estimated probability of drawdown by the borrower.  This allowance is recorded as a liability.

Insurance contracts

Under U.S. GAAP, reserves for individual and group life insurance are computed on the basis of interest rates, mortality tables, including a margin for adverse deviations. For the six month period ended June 30, 2011 and during 2010, the reserve discount rate was 4.5%, based on the Bank’s own profitability experience.

Under Colombian GAAP, there are not reserves for adverse deviations.

t)
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair-value measurements.

The framework for measuring fair value under Colombian GAAP is substantially consistent with ASC 820, except for considerations about own credit risk, counterparty risk and valuation of collateral.
 
Fair-Value Hierarchy
 
ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Bank’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt, futures, and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
 
Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain bonds issued by government or its entities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.

Level 3- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain retained residual interests in securitizations, asset-backed securities (ABS), highly structured or long-term derivative contracts and certain collateralized debt obligations (CDO) where independent pricing information was not able to be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.

The Bank considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the amount of adjustment necessary when comparing similar transactions are all factors in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices in those markets.
 
Determination of Fair Value

For assets and liabilities carried at fair value, the Bank measures such value using the procedures set out below. The Bank did not choose to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value based on ASC 825.

When available, the Bank generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. The Bank will make use of acceptable practical expedients (mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions) to calculate fair value.

 
F-61

 

Where available, the Bank may also make use of quoted prices for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The frequency and size of transactions and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices from those markets. If relevant and observable prices are available, those valuations would be classified as Level 2.

If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, pricing models and similar methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, option volatilities, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.

Fair-value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified, where possible, to prices obtained from independent price providers or non-bidding brokers. Price providers and non-bidding brokers’ valuations may be based on a variety of inputs ranging from observed prices to proprietary valuation models.

The estimated fair value based upon internally developed valuation techniques could vary if other valuation methods or assumptions were used. The Bank believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. Nevertheless, the use of different valuation methods or assumptions, including imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date and the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular instrument. Most of the valuation models are not significantly subjective, because they can be tested and, if necessary, recalibrated by the internal calculation of and subsequent comparison to market prices of actively traded securities, where available.

Financial instruments that are classified as trading, or available for sale, and all derivatives, are stated at fair value. The fair value of such financial instruments is the estimated amount at which an asset could be sold or a liability transferred in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Bank, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.

1. Fair value measurement on a recurring and non-recurring basis (ASC 820)
 
Investment securities
 
    a)     Debt securities:

When available, the Bank uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value and such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  For securities not traded or over the counter, the Bank generally determines fair value utilizing internal valuation and standard techniques. These techniques include determination of expected future cash flows which are discounted using curves of the applicable currencies and interest. The interest and foreign exchange curves are generally observable market data and reference yield and exchange curves derived from quoted interest and exchange rates in appropriate time bandings, which match the timings of the cash flows and maturities of the instruments. Fair value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified and tested by independent personnel.

Price providers compile prices from various sources and may apply matrix pricing for similar securities where no price is observable. If available, the Bank may also use quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security. These securities priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when less liquidity exists for a security, a quoted price is stale or prices from independent sources vary, a security is generally classified as Level 3.

 
F-62

 

    b)     Equity securities

When available, the Bank uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value and such items are classified in Level 1and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and in trading or investment category.
 
Derivatives
 
Derivatives entered into by the Bank are executed over the counter and so are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation techniques and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. For over the counter derivatives those trades in liquid markets are valued using industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. In addition, these estimates consider assumptions for our own credit risk and the respective counterparty credit risk.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, the spot price of the underlying volatility, credit curves and correlation of such inputs. The item is placed in either Level 1, level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and items with longer tenors are generally less observable.

When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid /offer spreads and credit considerations.

Credit Valuation Adjustment
 
Under Colombian GAAP, the measurement of the fair value of derivatives does not include a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank measure the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the swap and forward derivatives.

Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset and its credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability. The Bank attempts to mitigate credit risk to third parties which are international banks by entering into master netting agreements. When assessing the impact of credit exposure, only the net counterparty exposure is considered at risk; due to the offsetting of certain same-counterparty positions and the application of cash and other collateral. The Bank generally calculates the asset’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with international financial institutions by incorporating indicative credit related pricing that is generally observable in the market (“CDS”). The credit-risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with non-public counterparties is calculated by incorporating unobservable credit data derived from internal credit qualifications to the financial institutions and corporate companies located in Colombia. The Bank also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if the Bank believes market participants would take that into account when transacting the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bank’s credit risk on an instrument transacted with international financial institutions is done using the Asset Swap Curve calculated for subordinated bonds issued by the Bank in foreign currency.  The Bank calculates the liability’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with local financial institutions by incorporating credit data derived qualifications released in the Colombian financial market.

A hundred basis points increase in our own credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in a reduction of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 2,321 as of June 30, 2011. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in our own credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.

 
F-63

 

A hundred basis points increase in the counterparty credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in an increase of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 9,818 as of June 30, 2011. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in the counterparties credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.
 
Impaired loans measured at fair value

The Bank measured certain impaired loans based on the fair values of the collateral less costs to sell. The fair values were determined as follows using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset:

For vehicles under leasing arrangements, the Bank uses an internal valuation model based on price curves for each type of vehicle. Such curves show the expected price of the vehicle at different points in time based on the initial price and projection of economic variables such as inflation, devaluation and customs.  The prices modelled in the curves are compared every six months with market information for the same or similar vehicles and in case of significant deviation the curve is adjusted to reflect the market conditions.

Other vehicles are measured using matrix pricing from a third party. This matrix is used by most of the market participants and is updated monthly.  The matrix is built from values provided by several price providers for identical or similar vehicles and considers brand, characteristics of the vehicles, and manufacturing date among other variables to determine the prices.

For real estate properties, a third party qualified appraiser is used.  The methodologies vary depending on the date of the last appraisal available for the property (the appraisal is estimated based on either of three approaches: cost, sale comparison and income approach, and is requested every three years). When the property has been valued in the last twelve months and the market conditions have not showed significant changes, the most recent valuation is considered the fair value of the property. For all the other cases (i.e. appraisals older that 12 months) the value of the property is updated adjusting the value in the last appraisal by weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, physical conditions and expected selling costs, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate experts.
 
Mortgage-backed securities

The Bank invests in asset-backed securities which the underlying assets correspond to mortgages issued by financial institutions. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to sub-prime securities. The asset-backed securities are denominated in local market TIPS and can be classified either as trading or available for sale. These asset-backed securities have different vintages and are generally classified as AAA by credit ratings. The Bank does not expect significant changes in those ratings.

Fair values were estimated using discounted cash flows using models which the main key economic assumptions used are estimates of prepayment rates and resultant weighted average lives of the securitised mortgage portfolio, probability of default and interest rate curves. These items are classified as Level 3.

Fair value disclosures

 ASC 825 requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The financial instruments below are not recorded at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
 
Short-term financial instruments

Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. This approach was used for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, customers’ acceptances, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest payable and bank acceptances outstanding.
 
Deposits
The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on the discounted value of cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Fair value of deposits with undefined maturities represents the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date.
 
Interbank borrowings and borrowings from development and other domestic banks

Short-term interbank borrowings and borrowings from domestic development banks have been valued at their carrying amounts because of their relatively short-term nature. Long-term and domestic development bank borrowings have also been valued at their carrying amount because they bear interest at variable rates.
 
Long-term debt

The fair value of long-term debt, which comprises bonds issued by Bancolombia and its subsidiaries, was estimated substantially based on quoted market prices. Certain bonds which are nonpublic trading, issued by Tuya S.A., were determined based on the discounted value of cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities and its own creditworthiness.

(1)
Interbank borrowings and borrowings from domestic development banks have been valued at their carrying amounts because of their relatively short-term nature. In addition, these instruments bear interest at variable rates.

 
u)
Paid-in capital

In accordance with Colombian GAAP, paid-in capital in excess of par value of common and preferred shares issued is credited to a legal reserve. Under U.S. GAAP, capital in excess of par value is credited to paid-in capital.

 
v)
Equity tax

Since 2007 and until 2010, Colombian tax regulations required companies to pay annually a special tax on their net assets determined under tax rules. This special tax, known as equity tax, was assessed as of January 1 of each year, at the tax statutory rate of 1.2%. However, in December 2009 the Congress of Colombia enacted Law No. 1370 modifying the equity tax and, effective on January 1, 2011, a tax of 2.4% and 4.8% is assessed based on net assets between $3 billion pesos and not exceeding $5 billion pesos and net assets in excess of $5 billion pesos, respectively and is payable in eight separate installments through 2014, without interest charges.  The tax amount assessed is fixed as of January 1, 2011 and is not subject to further adjustment and the entity is not subject to any additional assessment through 2014.

Under Colombian GAAP, a liability for COP 469,002 was accrued against a deferred charge asset, and is being amortized on a straight line basis over a 48 month period. The amortization charge is debited to either stockholders’ equity or Statement of Operations, in accordance with Colombian regulations. 

Under U.S. GAAP, an equity tax liability was recorded on a discounted basis to reflect the time value of money as the aggregate amount of the liability and the amount and timing of cash payments are fixed.  The corresponding debit was recorded against the Statement of Operations. The discount curve rate used was the risk free rate plus the Bank’s risk premium.

w)
Contingencies

According to Colombian GAAP, provisions for contingencies for regulatory penalties must be recorded for at least 50% of the total value of the penalty when sentence against the Bank in a government court instance is issued (in spite of the fact that the contingency was not considered probable in such instance) and then adjusted at 100% of the penalty in question when the final sentence against Bank is confirmed

According to U.S. GAAP, an estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
 
As of June 30, 2010 the Bank has not recognized any provision for contingencies for regulators penalties under Colombian GAAP.

There are no contingencies or other uncertainties that could affect the fairness of presentation of the financial data at this interinm report. See “Condensed Consolidated Interinm Financial Statements as of 30, June 2011 and June 30, 2010”, note 9) Commitments and Contingencies.

 
x)
Earnings per share

Under Colombian GAAP, earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of both common and preference shares outstanding for each period presented.

U.S. GAAP requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS for entities with complex capital structures, as well as a reconciliation of the basic EPS computation to the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. SAs of June 30, 2011, and, 2010, the Bank has a simple capital structure. Therefore, there was no difference between basic or diluted EPS for these years.

The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic EPS for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions of pesos, except per share data):

Preferred share dividends were declared for 2010 and 2009 in March 2011 and March 2010, respectively, to be paid in quarterly installments during years 2011 and 2010 and consequently, there will be no impact in the calculation of earnings per share during the second half of 2011 and 2010 because such dividends are recognized when they are declared during the first half of 2011 and 2010.

Recent U.S. GAAP Pronouncements

In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”, to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment.  The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”, to clarify that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, as a result of the work developed by the FASB and the IASB to expand common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The amendments in this update requires additional disclosures including the following: (1) Information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) Information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, (3) The categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact the ASU 2011-02 would have on the Bank‘s financial statement and U.S.GAAP disclosures.

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”, to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this update. The guidance in this update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”, to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance requires for creditors to evaluate modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition, the amendments to Topic 310 clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. As a result of applying these amendments, the Bank considers that newly considerations in its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information should be applied. Management is currently evaluating the impact the ASU 2011-02 would have on the Bank‘s financial statement and U.S.GAAP disclosures.

In January 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in ASU 2010-20”, to temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. Under the existing effective date in ASU 2010-20, the Bank would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. According to ASU 2011-02, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact the ASU 2011-01 would have on the Bank‘s financial statement and U.S.GAAP disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29 “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations”, to address diversity in practice about the interpretation of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosure requirements for business combinations. Paragraph 805-10-50-2(h) requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15; 2010.The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank for reporting period ending on June 31, 2010.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28 “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts”. Under Topic ASC 350 on goodwill and other intangible assets, testing for goodwill impairment is a two-step test. When a goodwill impairment test is performed (either on an annual or interim basis), an entity must assess whether the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value (Step 1). If it does, an entity must perform an additional test to determine whether goodwill has been impaired and to calculate the amount of that impairment (Step 2). The amendments in this update affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with the existing guidance and examples in paragraph 350-20-35-30, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. For public entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Bank have taken into account the amendments introduced by this update during the annual goodwill impairment test for reporting period ending on December 31, 2010.

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts”, to specify that the following costs incurred in the acquisition of new and renewal contracts should be capitalized: (1) Incremental direct costs of contract acquisition and (2) Certain costs related directly to the following acquisition activities performed by the insurer for the contract: a. Underwriting, b. Policy issuance and processing, c. Medical and inspection, d. Sales force contract selling. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively upon adoption. The Bank is currently analyzing the effect that this ASU will have on its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
 
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22 to amend various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics related to: Form of condensed financial statements, Debt Issue Costs in Conjunction with a Business Combination, Business Combinations Prior to an Initial Public Offering, Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary and other topics.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, to improve the disclosures that an entity provides about the credit quality of its financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses to assist financial statement users in assessing an entity’s credit risk exposures and evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. As a result of these amendments, an entity is required to disaggregate by portfolio segment or class of financing receivable certain existing disclosures and provide certain new disclosures about its financing receivables and related allowance for credit losses. For public entities, the disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The modified or new disclosures are presented in Note 13, e) “Allowances for loans losses, financial lease losses, foreclosed assets and other receivables” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, to clarify that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic ASC 310-30, do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. The amendments in this update did not require additional disclosures. This ASU was effective for modifications occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments did not have impacts in the Bank’s U.S. GAAP financial information.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, to clarify that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades shall not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, and should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This amendment will not have significant impacts on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11 “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”.  The ASU clarifies that those contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature related to the transfer of credit risk that is not only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another are not included into the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 15-9.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, to defer the effective date of the amendments to the consolidation requirements made by FASB Statement 167 (ASC 810-10) to a reporting entity’s interest in certain types of entities and clarify other aspects of the Statement 167 amendments. The ASU also clarifies how a related party’s interests in an entity should be considered when evaluating the criteria for determining whether a decision maker or service provider fee represents a variable interest. In addition, the ASU also clarifies that a quantitative calculation should not be the sole basis for evaluating whether a decision maker’s or service provider’s fee is a variable interest.  The FASB Statement 167 was adopted on January 1, 2010.  See in Note 13, e) “Allowance for loan losses, financial leases, foreclosed assets and other receivables” to the Consolidated Financial Statements its impacts on the Bank’s U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”. This ASU addresses both the interaction of the requirements of Topic 855, Subsequent Events, with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosures provision related to subsequent events (paragraph 855-10-50-4). The bank has adopted the appropriate measures to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU also clarified existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Further, the ASU amended guidance on employers’ disclosures about post retirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715 to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The ASU was effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Bank has provided the disclosures required in Note 13, t) “Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instrument” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
