These consolidated financial statements, which stem from accounting records, have been stated in thousands of Argentine Pesos and are presented in line with the provisions of Argentine Central Bank’s (“B.C.R.A.”) Communiqué “A” 3147 and supplementary regulations regarding financial reporting requirements for the publication of annual financial statements, with the guidelines of Technical Pronouncements Nos. 8 and 19 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”) and with the guidelines of the General Resolution No. 434/03 of the National Securities Commission (“C.N.V.”). These financial statements include the balances corresponding to the operations carried out by Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Argentina and abroad.

The financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis with those of its controlled companies, either directly or indirectly, which are detailed in Note 2.

Due to the fact that Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is the Company’s main equity investment, a financial institution subject to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, and pursuant to General Resolution No. 595/11 issued by the C.N.V., the Company has adopted the valuation and disclosure criteria applied by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., which in some significant aspects differ from Argentine GAAP in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. (See Note 1.16).

Furthermore, the consolidated financial statements of Sudamericana Holding S.A. were prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation criteria approved by the Argentine Superintendence of Insurance; which in some aspects differ from Argentine GAAP in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in particular as regards the valuation of investments in Secured Loans and certain Government Securities. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

These consolidated financial statements include the balances of its subsidiaries abroad: Banco Galicia Uruguay S.A. (In liquidation) and Galicia (Cayman) Limited. The conversion into Pesos of these subsidiaries’ accounting balances was made according to the following:

i. Assets and liabilities were converted into Pesos according to item 1.2 of this Note.

ii. Allotted capital has been computed for the actually disbursed restated amounts.

iii. Retained earnings were determined as the difference between assets, liabilities and the allotted capital.

iv. Net income for the period was determined by the difference between retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year and retained earnings at period-end. The balances of income statement accounts were converted into Pesos applying the monthly average exchange rates recorded in each month of this period.

v. The significant items arising from intercompany transactions, not involving third parties, have been eliminated from the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement.

CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION:

These consolidated financial statements reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency up to February 28, 2003, by following the restatement method established by Technical Pronouncement No. 6 of F.A.C.P.C.E. In line with Communiqué “A” 3921 of the Argentine Central Bank, Decree No. 664/03 of the National Executive Branch and General Resolution No. 441/03 of the C.N.V., the Company discontinued the application of that method and therefore did not recognize the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency originated after March 1, 2003.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

This criterion is not in line with Resolution M.D. No. 41/03 of the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A.), which established the discontinuation of the recognition of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency, effective October 1, 2003. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements.

The index used for restating the items in these financial statements was the domestic wholesale price index published by the I.N.D.E.C.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION:

The comparative information in the Balance Sheet, Schedules and Notes corresponds to the end of the previous fiscal year, while that of the Income Statement, the Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Statement of Cash Flows and Cash Equivalents corresponds to the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Certain figures in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 have been reclassified for purposes of their presentation in comparative format with those for this period.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements at a given date requires the Company to make estimates and assessments that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as the income and expenses accrued for the period/fiscal year. In this regard, the Company makes estimates in order to calculate, at any given moment, the allowance for uncollectible receivables, the depreciation and amortization charges, the recoverable value of assets, the income tax charge and the provisions for contingencies, among others. Future actual results may differ from estimates and assessments made at the date these financial statements were prepared.

MOST RELEVANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

1.1. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN DOMESTIC CURRENCY

Monetary assets and liabilities which include, where applicable, the interest accrued at period/fiscal year-end, are stated in period-end currency and therefore require no adjustment whatsoever.

1.2. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY

Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been stated at the U.S. Dollar exchange rate set by the Argentine Central Bank, in force at the close of operations on the last working day of each month.

As of March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, balances in U.S. Dollars were converted applying the reference exchange rate (figures stated in Pesos: $ 5.1223, $ 4.9173 and $ 4.3785, respectively) set by the Argentine Central Bank.

Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar have been converted into the latter currency using the swap rates informed by the Argentine Central Bank.

Interest receivable or payable has been accrued at period/fiscal year-end, where applicable.

1.3. GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECURITIES

Argentine Central Bank regulations set forth, according to the assets’ most probable use, two valuation criteria for holdings of non-financial public sector debt instruments:

a. Fair Market Value: These holdings are government securities and monetary regulation instruments included in the volatilities or present values lists issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

These are recorded at the closing price for each class of securities in the corresponding markets or at their present value, plus the value of amortization and/or interest coupons due and receivable, less estimated selling costs, when applicable.

b. Acquisition Cost plus the I.R.R.: These include government securities and monetary regulation instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank that are not included in the preceding item.

These holdings are recorded at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R. The monthly accrual is charged to income or an asset offset account, depending on the securities involved:

b.1. Government debt instruments subscribed through swap, payment or exchange by any other government debt instruments. In the case the market value of each instrument is lower than its book value, 50% of the monthly accrual of the I.R.R. must be charged against an asset offset account. Said offset account shall be reversed by charging to income to the extent its balance exceeds the positive difference between the market value and book value.

b.2. Monetary regulation instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank. The monthly accrual of the I.R.R. shall be charged to income.

b.3. Government securities that were not subscribed through swap with no volatility or present value informed by the Argentine Central Bank. These are recorded at the present value of cash flows discounted by the internal rate of return of instruments with similar characteristics and duration and with volatility. When the book value exceeds the present value, the monthly accrual shall be recorded in an asset offset account.

Furthermore, those instruments subject to be valued at the fair market value and then decided to be valued at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R. may be recorded in this item, when the purpose thereof is to obtain contractual cash flows. In these cases, the maximum amount to be used shall not exceed net liquid assets of 40% of deposits.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, taking into account the above-mentioned valuation criteria, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. records its holdings according to the following:

1.3.1. Holdings Recorded at Fair Market Value

These holdings include trading securities that were valued according to what is stated in item a. above.

The same criterion is applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

1.3.2. Holdings Recorded at their Acquisition Cost plus the I.R.R.

In this account, the Company records Peso-denominated Bonds issued by the Argentine Nation at Badlar rate due 2015 (Bonar 2015).

The holding of such securities has been valued pursuant to the criterion stated in item b. above.

The same criterion is applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

1.3.3. Investments in Listed Private Securities

These securities are valued at the period/fiscal year-end closing price in the corresponding market, less estimated selling costs, when applicable.

1.3.4. Instruments Issued by the Argentine Central Bank

Holdings of instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank which are included in the volatilities list have been valued at their closing price in the corresponding markets. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

Holdings of instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank which are not included in the volatilities list have been valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee and in repo transactions, when appropriate.

1.4. ACCRUAL OF ADJUSTMENTS, INTEREST, EXCHANGE RATE DIFFERENCES, PREMIUMS ON FUTURE TRANSACTIONS AND VARIABLE INCOME

For foreign and local currency transactions with a principal adjustment clause, as well as for those in which rates have been prearranged for terms up to 92 days, the accrual has been recognized on a linear basis.

For local currency transactions at rates arranged for longer periods, interest has been accrued on an exponential basis.

For lending and borrowing transactions, which according to the legal and/or contractual conditions may be applicable, the adjustment by the C.E.R. has been accrued.

For lending transactions, the Company does not recognize interest accrual when debtors are classified in a non-accrual status.

1.5. OTHER RECEIVABLES RESULTING FROM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE

1.5.1. Mutual Fund Units

The holdings of mutual fund units have been valued pursuant to the value published by the mutual fund manager at period/fiscal year-end, less estimated selling costs, when applicable.

1.5.2. Financial Trust Debt Securities—Unlisted

Debt securities added at par have been valued at their technical value; the remaining holdings were valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R.

1.5.3. Participation Certificates in Financial Trusts—Unlisted

Participation certificates in financial trusts are valued taking into account the share in the assets, net of liabilities, which stem from the financial statements of the respective trusts, as modified by the application of the Argentine Central Bank regulations, when applicable.

Trusts — with government-sector assets as underlying assets — have been valued pursuant to the valuation criteria described in item 1.3.2 of this Note. In the particular case of the Participation Certificate in Galtrust I Financial Trust, it has been recorded according to what is stated in item 1.3.b.3 of this Note.

1.5.4. Unlisted Negotiable Obligations

These have been valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R.

1.6. RECEIVABLES FROM FINANCIAL LEASES

These receivables are recorded at the present value of the sum of periodic installments and residual values previously established and calculated pursuant to the terms and conditions agreed upon in the corresponding financial lease agreements by applying their I.R.R.

1.7. EQUITY INVESTMENTS

The Company’s equity investments in companies where it has a significant interest were valued pursuant to the equity method.

The remaining equity investments were valued at their acquisition cost plus, when applicable, uncollected cash dividends and stock dividends from capitalized profits. An allowance for impairment of value has been established on such equity investments where the book value exceeds the equity method value.

1.8. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT AND MISCELLANEOUS ASSETS

Bank Premises and Equipment and Miscellaneous Assets have been valued at their acquisition cost, restated at constant currency as mentioned in this Note, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation.

Financial leases that mainly transfer risks and benefits inherent to the leased property are recognized at the beginning of the lease either by the cash value of the leased property or the present value of cash flows established in the financial lease, whichever lower.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

Depreciation charges are calculated following the straight-line method, at rates determined based on the useful life assigned to the assets, which is 600 months for real estate, up to 120 months for furniture and fixtures and no more than 60 months for the rest of the assets.

The updated residual value of the assets, taken as a whole, does not exceed their value-in-use at period/fiscal year-end.

1.9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets have been valued at their acquisition cost, restated at constant currency as mentioned in this Note, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization.

Amortization has been recognized on a straight-line basis over 120 months for “Goodwill” and over 60 months for “Organization and Development Expenses”.

Effective March 2003, the Argentine Central Bank established that the difference between the amount paid for compliance with court resolutions made in lawsuits filed challenging the current regulations applicable to deposits with the financial system, within the framework of the provisions of Law No. 25561, Decree No. 214/02 and supplementary regulations, and the amount resulting from converting deposits at the $ 1.40 per U.S. Dollar exchange rate adjusted by the C.E.R. and interest accrued up to the payment date must also be recorded under this account. This entity also established the amortization thereof must take place in a maximum of 60 equal, monthly and consecutive installments as from April 2003. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this item has been fully amortized; thus total accumulated amortization amounts to $ 884,302 and $ 883,022, respectively.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. carried out the abovementioned amortization for the purposes of complying with the provisions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank only. However, the Bank has repeatedly reserved its right to make claims in view of the negative effect caused on its financial condition by the reimbursement of deposits originally in U.S. Dollars pursuant to court orders, which exceeded the amount established in the aforementioned regulation. On November 30, 2003, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. formally requested the National Executive Branch, with a copy to the Ministry of Economy (“MECON”) and to the Argentine Central Bank, the payment of due compensation for the losses incurred that were generated by the “asymmetric pesification” and especially for the negative effect on its financial condition caused by court resolutions.

1.10. MISCELLANEOUS LIABILITIES

1.10.1. Liabilities – Customers Fidelity Program “Quiero” (I Want)

The Company estimates the fair value of the points assigned to customers through the “Quiero” (“I Want”) Program. Said value is assessed by means of the use of a mathematical model that takes into account certain assumptions of exchange percentages, the cost for the exchanged points based on the combination of available products and the preferences of the Bank’s customers, as well as the expiration term of the customers’ non-exchanged points. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the liabilities recorded under “Miscellaneous Liabilities – Others” for its customers’ non-exchanged points amounted to $ 95,074 and $ 74,736, respectively.

1.11. ALLOWANCES AND PROVISIONS:

1.11.1. Allowances for Loan Losses and Provisions for Contingent Commitments

These have been established based upon the estimated default risk of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s credit assistance granted through its subsidiaries, which results from an evaluation of debtors’ compliance with their payment obligations, their economic and financial condition, and the guarantees securing their related transactions, in line with the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

1.11.2. Severance Payments

The Company directly charges severance payments to expenses.

The amounts that the Company may possibly have to pay for labor lawsuits are covered by a provision, which is recorded under “Liabilities – Provisions for Severance Payments”.

1.11.3. Liabilities – Other Provisions

Provisions have been set up to cover contingent situations related to labor, commercial, civil and tax issues and other miscellaneous risks that are likely to occur.

1.12. NEGATIVE GOODWILL

The Company recorded a negative goodwill. This stems from the difference between the acquisition cost paid for the companies Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and the value of assets and liabilities purchased as of June 30, 2010. Such negative goodwill is recorded under the “Liabilities – Provisions” account. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, it amounts to $ 223,027 and $ 247,808, respectively, net of amortizations.

The negative goodwill is charged to Income on a straight-line basis during 60 months, pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations in that regard.

1.13. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS

They have been recorded as stated in Note 8.

1.14. INCOME TAX

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, at the subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A., the income tax charge is determined by applying the effective tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of any temporary differences between taxable and book income.

1.15. MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

The minimum presumed income tax is determined at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at fiscal year-end. Since this tax is supplementary to the income tax, the Company’s tax liability for each fiscal year is to coincide with the higher of the two taxes. However, if the minimum presumed income tax were to exceed income tax in a given fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of the income tax that could be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years. The recognition of this right and its realization stem from the ability to generate future taxable income sufficient for offsetting purposes.

Based on the foregoing, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has assets for $ 15,698 and $ 15,022, respectively.

1.16. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK REGULATIONS AND ARGENTINE GAAP IN FORCE IN THE AUTONOMOUS CITY OF BUENOS AIRES

The main differences between the valuation and disclosure criteria applied to these consolidated financial statements and Argentine GAAP in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires are detailed below:

1.16.1. Accounting for Income Tax according to the Deferred Tax Method

The subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. determine the income tax charge by applying the effective tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of any temporary differences between book and taxable income.

Pursuant to Argentine GAAP in force, the income tax must be recognized using the deferred tax method and, therefore, deferred tax assets or liabilities must be established based on the aforementioned temporary differences. In addition, unused tax loss carry-forwards or tax credits that may be offset against future taxable income should be recognized as deferred assets, provided that taxable income is likely to be generated.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

The application of this criterion, based on projections prepared by the aforementioned subsidiaries, would determine deferred tax assets amounting to $ 272,188 as of March 31, 2013, and to $ 284,451 as of December 31, 2012.

1.16.2. Valuation of Government Securities

Argentine Central Bank regulations set forth specific valuation criteria for government securities recorded at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R., which are described in 1.3.b. of this Note. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the above-mentioned assets must be valued at their current value.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the application of this criterion would determine an increase in Shareholders’ Equity of about $ 61,065 and $ 44,786, respectively, due to the securities held by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.

1.16.3. Allowances for Receivables from the Non-Financial Public Sector

Current regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank on the establishment of allowances provide that credits against the public sector are not subject to allowances for loan losses. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, those allowances must be estimated based on the recoverability risk of assets.

1.16.4. Negative Goodwill

A negative goodwill has been recorded which corresponds to the difference between the acquisition cost paid for the companies Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and their equity method value estimated at the time of the purchase. Such negative goodwill is recorded under the “Liabilities – Provisions” account.

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, the negative goodwill has to be charged to income with regard to the causes that have originated it, not to exceed a 60-month straight-line method amortization. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, the negative goodwill that is not related to expenses estimations or estimated future losses should be recognized as a gain at the time of the purchase.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the negative goodwill balance amounts to $ 223,027 and $ 247,808, respectively.

1.16.5. Restructured Loans and Liabilities

Restructured loans and financial obligations are valued based on the actually restructured principal amounts plus accrued interest and principal adjustments, when applicable, minus collections or payments made.

Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, those restructured loans and liabilities, for which modification of original conditions imply a substitution of instruments, must be recorded on the basis of the best possible estimate of the amounts receivable or payable discounted at a market rate that reflects market evaluations on the time value of money and the specific risks of such assets and liabilities at the time of restructuring.

1.16.6. Conversion of Financial Statements

The conversion into Pesos of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries for the purposes of their consolidation, made in accordance with the Argentine Central Bank regulations, differs from Argentine GAAP. Argentine GAAP require that: a) the measurements in the financial statements to be converted into Pesos that are stated in period-end foreign currency (current values, recoverable values) be converted at the exchange rate of the financial statements’ date; and b) the measurements in the financial statements to be converted into Pesos that are stated in foreign currency of periods predating the closing date (for example: those which represent historical costs, income, expenses) be converted at the relevant historical exchange rates, restated at period-end currency, when applicable due to the application of Technical Pronouncement No. 17. Exchange-rate differences arising from conversion of the financial statements shall be treated as financial income or expenses, when appropriate.

The application of this criterion that replaces what has been stated in this Note does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

1.17. ADOPTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS BY THE C.N.V.

The C.N.V. has established the application of Technical Pronouncement No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences, which adopts the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the I.A.S.B. (International Accounting Standards Board) for certain entities included within the public offering system, whether because of their capital or their negotiable obligations, or because they have requested to be included in such system, for financial statements corresponding to fiscal years started as from January 1, 2012.

The adoption of such standards is not applicable to the Company since the C.N.V., through General Resolution No. 595/11, exempted companies that invest in banks and insurance companies from the mandatory adoption of the I.F.R.S.

With regard to the requirements set forth in the aforementioned General Resolution No. 595/11, the following is detailed:

• Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s corporate purpose is exclusively related to financial and investment activities;

• The interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. accounts for 91.27% of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s assets, being the Company’s main asset;

• 85% of Grupo Financiero Galicia’s income stems from the interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s income; and

• Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. has a 94.94333% interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., thus having control over such institution.

NOTE 5. STATEMENT OF DEBTORS’ STATUS

The loan portfolio classification pursuant to the loan classification criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank is detailed as follows.

COMMERCIAL LOAN PORTFOLIO

Classification:	Description
Normal	Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is widely able to meet all of its financial commitments. Among the indicators that can reflect this situation, the following are worth noting: The customer shows a liquid financial situation, regularly complies with the payment of its obligations, has a qualified and honest management, has an appropriate information system, belongs to a sector of the economic activity or to a business sector that shows an acceptable future trend and is competitive with regard to the activities it conducts.
With Special Follow-Up – Under Observation	Cash flow analysis shows, at the time of carrying out the analysis, that the customer is able to meet all of its financial commitments. However, there are possible situations that, in case they are not duly controlled or else solved, could compromise the customer’s future repayment capacity.
With Special Follow-Up—Under Negotiation or under Refinancing Agreements	This category includes those customers who, when unable to meet their financial commitments pursuant to the terms and conditions agreed, irrefutably state their intention to refinance their debt.
With Problems	Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is unable to meet its financial commitments in a normal manner and that, in case such problems are not solved, they could result in a loss for the financial institution.
High Risk of Insolvency	Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is highly unlikely to meet all of its financial commitments.
Uncollectible	Customers’ debts included in this category are considered uncollectible. Even though there is some possibility of recovering these assets under certain circumstances in the future, it is evident they are uncollectible at the time of the analysis.

Said options, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, are valued at the strike price.

The strike price will be equal to that resulting from converting the face value of each coupon in U.S. Dollars into Pesos at a rate of $ 1.40 per U.S. Dollar adjusted by applying the C.E.R. variation, which arises from comparing the index as of February 3, 2002 to that corresponding to the due date of the coupon. That value shall in no case exceed the principal and interest amounts in Pesos resulting from applying to the face value of the coupon in U.S. Dollars the buying exchange rate quoted by Banco de la Nación Argentina on the payment date of that coupon.

NOTE 26. MINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. is not subject to the minimum capital requirements established by the Argentine Central Bank.

Furthermore, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. meets the minimum capital requirements established by the Corporations Law, which amount to $ 100.

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is required to maintain a minimum capital, which is calculated by weighting risks related to assets and to balances of bank premises and equipment, miscellaneous and intangible assets.

As called for by the Argentine Central Bank regulations, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, minimum capital requirements were as follows:

Date	Capital Required		Computable Capital		Computable Capital as a % of the Capital Requirement

NOTE 28. RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

The Argentine Central Bank regulations require that 20% of the profits shown in the Income Statement at fiscal year-end, plus (or less), the adjustments made in previous fiscal years and, less, if any, the loss accumulated at previous fiscal year-end, be allocated to the legal reserve.

This proportion applies regardless of the ratio of the Legal Reserve fund to Capital Stock. In the event said reserve is reduced for any reason, no profits can be distributed until its total refund.

According to the conditions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, profits can only be distributed as long as results are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, that may be legally and statutory required, but also the following items from Unappropriated Retained Earnings: The difference between the book value and the market value of public sector assets and/or debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank not valued at market price, the amounts capitalized for lawsuits related to deposits and any unrecorded adjustments required by the external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank.

Moreover, in order that a financial institution be able to distribute profits, said institution must comply with the capital adequacy rule, i.e. with the calculation of minimum capital requirements and the regulatory capital.

For these purposes, this shall be done by deducting from its assets and Unappropriated Retained Earnings all the items mentioned in the paragraph above.

Moreover, in such calculation, a financial institution shall not be able to compute the temporary reductions that affect minimum capital requirements, computable regulatory capital or its capital adequacy.

Distribution of profits shall require the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank’s Superintendence of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions, whose intervention shall have the purpose of verifying the aforementioned requirements have been fulfilled.

Tarjeta Naranja S.A.’s Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 16, 2006 decided to set the maximum limit for the distribution of dividends at 25% of the realized and liquid profits of each fiscal year. This restriction shall remain in force as long as the company’s Shareholders’ Equity is below $ 300,000.

Pursuant to the Price Supplement of Negotiable Obligations Class XIII, as well as in accordance with certain financial loan contracts, Tarjeta Naranja S.A. has agreed not to distribute dividends that may exceed 50% of the company’s net income. This restriction also applies in the case there is any excess over certain indebtedness ratios.

NOTE 30. CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEM

Law No. 24485 and Decree No. 540/95 established the creation of the Deposit Insurance System to cover the risk attached to bank deposits, in addition to the system of privileges and safeguards envisaged in the Financial Institutions Law.

The National Executive Branch through Decree No. 1127/98 dated September 24, 1998 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. As from January 2011, said amount has been established at $ 120.

This system does not cover deposits made by other financial institutions (including time deposit certificates acquired through a secondary transaction), deposits made by parties related to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up after July 1, 1995 at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the Argentine Central Bank based on a daily survey conducted by it. Those deposits whose ownership has been acquired through endorsement and those placements made as a result of incentives other than interest rates are also excluded. This system has been implemented through the constitution of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“FGD”), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (SE.DE.S.A.). SE.DE.S.A.’s shareholders are the Argentine Central Bank and the financial institutions, in the proportion determined for each one by the Argentine Central Bank based on the contributions made to the fund.

As from January 1, 2005, the Argentine Central Bank set this contribution at 0.015% per month.

NOTE 35. CONTINGENCIES

TAX ISSUES

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.

At the date of these financial statements, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting audits and assessments mainly regarding the Compensatory Bond granted by the National Government to compensate financial institutions for the losses generated by the asymmetric pesification of loans and deposits.

As regards the assessment of tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, within the framework of the legal actions brought by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. with the purpose of challenging the assessment of the tax collection authorities, a preliminary injunction was granted by the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters for the amount corresponding to the Compensatory Bond, which was ratified by the Supreme Court of Justice. Therefore, the Court ordered the A.G.I.P. to refrain from starting tax enforcement proceedings or else requesting precautionary measures for such purpose.

With regard to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires’ claims on account of other items, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. adhered to the System for the Settlement of Tax Liabilities in Arrears (Law No. 3461 and the related regulations), which envisaged the total relief of interest and fines. The Bank’s adherence to such system was communicated within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities.

In connection with the assessments made by tax collection authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires, under the framework of some of the processes under discussion at the Provincial Tax Court’s stage, at this stage of proceedings the decision issued was unfavorable to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s request regarding the items not related to the Compensatory Bond. As a result, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. will file the appeals with the respective stage of proceedings.

Furthermore, regarding the claims made by the different jurisdictions, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has been expressing its disagreement regarding these adjustments at the corresponding administrative and/or legal proceedings.

These proceedings and their possible effects are constantly being monitored by Management. Even though Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. considers it has complied with its tax liabilities in full pursuant to current regulations, the provisions deemed adequate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding have been set up.

Tarjetas Regionales S.A.

At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Argentine Revenue Service (A.F.I.P.), Provincial Revenue Boards and Municipalities are in the process of conducting audits and assessments, in different degrees of completion. Said agencies have served notices and made claims regarding taxes applicable to Tarjetas Regionales S.A.’s subsidiaries and to Tarjeta del Mar S.A. Therefore, the companies are taking the corresponding administrative and legal steps in order to solve such issues. The original amount claimed for taxes totals $ 9,995 approximately.

Based on the opinions of their tax advisors, the companies believe that the abovementioned claims are both legally and technically groundless and that taxes related to the claims have been correctly calculated in accordance with tax regulations in force and existing case law.

However, since the final outcome of these measures cannot be foreseen, provisions have been set up to cover such contingencies.

Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A.

The Argentine Revenue Service (A.F.I.P.) conducted audits on fiscal years 1998 and 1999, not accepting certain uncollectible loans to be recorded as uncollectible receivables deductible from income tax and minimum presumed income tax. The original amount claimed for taxes by the tax collection authorities totals $ 2,094.

Since the final resolution of this controversy is still uncertain, provisions have been set up to cover such contingencies.

CONSUMER PROTECTION ASSOCIATIONS

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. with regard to the collection of some financial charges.

The Bank considers the resolution of these controversies will not have a significant impact on its financial condition.

NOTE 36. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The tasks related to risk information and internal control of each of the controlled companies are defined and carried out, rigorously, in each of them. This is particularly strict in the main controlled company, Banco Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., where the requirements to be complied with are stringent, as detailed below, as it is a financial institution regulated by the Argentine Central Bank. Apart from the applicable local regulations, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A., in its capacity as a listed company on the markets of the United States of America, complies with the certification of its internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX). Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which as well gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

The specific function of the comprehensive management of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s risks (credit, financial and operational risks) has been allocated to the Risk Management Division, guaranteeing its independence from the rest of the business areas since it directly reports to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s General Division and, at the same time, it is involved in the decisions made by each area.

The risk managed by the Anti-Money Laundering Unit (control and prevention of asset laundering, funding of terrorist activities and other illegal activities) is added to the risks allocated to the Risk Management Division. The aim of both divisions is to guarantee the Board of Directors that they are fully aware of the risks the Bank is exposed to, and they are in charge of designing and proposing the policies and procedures necessary to mitigate and control such risks.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Short- and medium-term financial risks are managed within the framework of policies approved by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Board of Directors, which establishes limits to the different risk exposures and also considers their interrelation.

LIQUIDITY

Daily liquidity is managed according to the strategy set, which seeks to keep liquid resources adequate for the business needs, harmonizing the balance between yield and risk and reaching a liquidity level sufficient to mitigate the adverse effects caused by irregular variations in loans and deposits, in addition to coping with “stress” situations.

The current liquidity policy in force provides for the setting of limits and monitoring in terms of a) liquidity as regards stock: a level of “Management Liquidity” was established as the excess over legal minimum cash requirements, taking into consideration the characteristics and behavior of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s different liabilities, and the liquid assets that make up such liquidity were determined as well; and b) cash flow liquidity: gaps between the contractual maturities of consolidated financial assets and liabilities are analyzed and monitored. There is a cap for the gap between maturities, determined based on the gap accumulated against total liabilities permanently complied with during the first year.

Furthermore, the policy sets forth a contingency plan, by currency type, that determines the steps to be taken and the assets from which liquid resources additional to those set forth in the above-mentioned policy can be obtained.

With the purpose of mitigating the liquidity risk that arises from deposit concentration per customer, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has a policy that regulates the concentration of deposits among the main customers.

CURRENCY RISK

For purposes of the management and mitigation of the “Currency Risk”, two other currencies have been defined apart from the Argentine Peso: assets and liabilities adjusted by C.E.R. and foreign currency. Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s current policy in force establishes limits in terms of maximum “net asset positions” (assets denominated in a currency which are higher than the liabilities denominated in such currency) and “net liability positions” (assets denominated in a currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in “Pesos adjusted by C.E.R.” and in foreign currency, as a proportion of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s R.P.C., on a consolidated basis.

An adequate balance between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency is what characterizes the management strategy for this risk factor, seeking to achieve a full coverage of long-term asset-liability mismatches and allowing a short-term mismatch management margin that contributes to the possibility of improving certain market situations. Short- and long-term goals are attained by appropriately managing assets and liabilities and by using the financial products available in our market, particularly “dollar futures” both in institutionalized markets (M.A.E. and RO.F.EX.) and in forward transactions performed with customers.

Transactions in foreign currency futures (Dollar futures) are subject to limits that take into consideration the particular characteristics of each trading environment.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s exposure to the “interest rate risk”, as a result of interest rate fluctuations and the different sensitivity of assets and liabilities, is managed according to the strategy approved. On the one hand, it considers a short-term horizon, seeking to keep the net financial margin within the levels set by the policy. On the other hand, it considers a long-term horizon, the purpose of which is to mitigate the negative impact on the economic value of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Shareholders’ Equity in the face of changes in interest rates.

From a comprehensive viewpoint of risk exposures and contributing to including a “risk premium” in the pricing process, the aim is to systematically estimate the “economic capital” used up by the structural risk as per the financial statements (interest rate risk) and the contribution of the “price risk”, in its different expressions, to using up the capital.

MARKET RISK

Trading of and/or investment in government securities, currencies, derivatives and debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank, which are listed on the capital markets and the value of which varies pursuant to the variation of the market prices thereof, are included within the Policy that limits the maximum authorized losses for a fiscal year.

The “price risk” (market) is daily managed according to the strategy approved, the purpose of which is to keep Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. present in the different derivatives, variable- and fixed-income markets while obtaining the maximum return as possible on trading, without exposing the latter to excessive risk levels. Finally, the policy designed contributes to providing transparency and facilitates the perception of the risk levels to which it is exposed.

In order to measure and monitor risks derived from the variation in the price of financial instruments that form the trading securities portfolio, a model known as “Value at Risk” (also known as “VaR”) is used, among other methods. This model determines intra-daily, for Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. individually, the possible loss that could be generated by the positions in securities, derivatives and currencies under certain parameters. Furthermore, in order to measure and monitor the risk related to trading of debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. also applies the method that estimates the change of value of a portfolio, for variations of one interest rate basis point.

CROSS-BORDER RISK

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s foreign trade transactions and management of “treasury” resources imply assuming cross-border risk positions. These exposures related to cross-border assets are in line with Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s business and financial strategy, the purpose of which is to provide customers with an efficient commercial assistance and to improve the management of available liquid resources within an appropriate risk and yield environment.

TRANSFER RISK

The possibility of diversifying funding sources, as contemplated by the liquidity strategy, by obtaining resources in foreign capital markets, involves the possible exposure to potential regulatory changes that hinder or increase the cost of the transfer of foreign currency abroad to meet liability commitments. The policy that manages the risk of transferring foreign currency abroad thus contributes to the liquidity strategy and pursues the goal of reaching an adequate balance between liabilities payable to local counterparties and those payable to foreign counterparties in a return-risk proportion that is adequate for Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s business and growth.

EXPOSURE TO THE NON-FINANCIAL PUBLIC SECTOR

With the purpose of regulating risk exposures with regard to the non-financial public sector, in the national, provincial and municipal jurisdictions, the Company defined a policy the design of which envisages risk exposures in each jurisdiction, as well as the “possible loss” of value related to such holdings.

CREDIT RISK

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s credit granting and analysis system is applied in a centralized manner and is based on the concept of “opposition of interests”, which takes place when risk management, credit and commercial duties are segregated, with respect to both retail and wholesale businesses. This allows an ongoing and efficient monitoring of the quality of assets, a proactive management of problem loans, aggressive write-offs of uncollectible loans, and a conservative policy on allowances for loan losses.

Apart from that, this system includes the follow-up of the models for measuring the portfolio risk at the operation and customer levels, thus making it easier to detect problem loans and the related losses. This allows early detecting situations that can entail some degree of portfolio deterioration, and appropriately safeguarding the Bank’s assets.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires’s Credit Risk Management and Insurance Division approves the credit risk policies and procedures, verifies compliance therewith and assesses credit risk on an ongoing basis.

As an outstanding aspect we can mention that the credit granting policy for retail banking focuses on automatic granting processes. These are based on behavior analysis models. Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is strongly geared towards obtaining portfolios with direct payroll deposit, which statistically have a better compliance behavior when compared to other types of portfolios.

As for the wholesale banking, credit granting is based on analyses conducted on credit, cash flow, balance sheet, capacity of the applicant. These are supported by statistical rating models.

During fiscal year 2010, the review-by-sector policy was implemented, which determines the levels of review for the economic activities belonging to the private-sector portfolio according to the concentration they show with regard to the Bank’s total credit and/or R.P.C.

The Credit Risk Management Division also constantly monitors its portfolio through different indicators (asset quality of the loan portfolio, provision for the non-accrual portfolio, non-performance, roll rates, etc), as well as the classification and concentration thereof (through maximum ratios between the exposure to each customer, its own computable capital or “R.P.C.” or regulatory capital, and that of each customer). The loan portfolio classification as well as its concentration control are carried out following the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

OPERATIONAL RISK

On July 30, 2008, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Board of Directors approved the policy regarding operational risk management, pursuant to the guidelines established by the Bank in such respect, and within the framework of the provisions determined by the Argentine Central Bank in Communiqué “A” 4793 and supplementary regulations.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. started to implement an operational risk management system in a progressive manner and through a schedule determined in such Communiqué.

Furthermore, the Bank incorporated an operational risk events database that complies with the reporting requirements set forth in Communiqué “A” 4904 of the Argentine Central Bank.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. adopts the definition of operational risk determined by the Argentine Central Bank and the best international practices. Operational risk is the risk of losses due to the lack of conformity or due to failure of internal processes, the acts of people or systems, or else because of external events. This definition includes legal risk, but does not include strategic and reputation risks.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Board of Directors, the Risk Management Committee, the Risk Management Division, the Operational Risk Management Unit, the Legal Operational Risk Committee, the Operating Risk Committee and the Wholesale and Retail Banking and Support divisions have their roles and responsibilities as regards this risk clearly defined.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Risk Management Division, a functional area that reports to the General Manager, is responsible for the comprehensive management of the Bank’s three different categories of risk: financial, credit and operational risk. The Bank has a specific and independent unit for the management of each particular risk.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. manages operational risk inherent to its products, activities, processes and material systems, technology and information security processes, as well as risks derived from subcontracted activities and from services rendered by providers. Furthermore, before launching or introducing new products, activities, processes or systems, their inherent operational risk is properly assessed.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s purpose is to consider a methodological approach regarding operational risk management, with an emphasis on encouraging continuous improvements in the assessment practices, which will allow the following: identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation of the different risks inherent to the business and banking operations.

The minimum capital requirement for the operational risk is determined according to Communiqué “A” 5272 of the Argentine Central Bank and supplementary regulations.

ASSET LAUNDERING, FUNDING OF TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES RISK

As regards the control and prevention of money laundering, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. complies with the Argentine Central Bank regulations and Law No. 25246, as amended.

Such laws amend the Criminal Code by including asset laundering in the types of crime and create the Financial Information Unit (“U.I.F.” as per its initials in Spanish—Unidad de Información Financiera), under the jurisdiction of the Argentine Ministry of Justice. The U.I.F. is the regulatory agency in charge of analyzing, addressing and reporting the regulations governing this risk to the persons bound by law.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has control policies, procedures and structures that are applied using a “risk-based approach”. Said policies and procedures allow monitoring transactions, pursuant to the “risk profile of customers”, in order to detect such transactions that should be considered unusual, and to report them before the U.I.F. in the cases that may correspond. The Anti-Money Laundering Unit (“U.A.L.” as per its initials in Spanish – Unidad Antilavado) is in charge of managing this activity, through the implementation of control and prevention procedures as well as the communication thereof to the rest of the organization by drafting the related handbooks and training all employees. In addition, the management of this risk is regularly reviewed by Internal Audit.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has appointed a director to be in charge of this risk and has created a Committee responsible for planning and coordinating the policies determined by the Board of Directors, as well as enforcing compliance therewith. It is worth noting that the basic principles on which the regulations regarding prevention and control of this risk are based are in line with the best international practices in force in such respect.

As set out in the bylaws, the term of office for both directors and alternate directors is three years; they are partially changed every year and may be reelected indefinitely.

The Company complies with the appropriate standards regarding total number of directors, as well as number of independent directors. Furthermore, its bylaws provide for the flexibility necessary to adapt the number of directors to the possible changes in the conditions in which the Company carries out its activities, from three to nine directors.

The Board of Directors complies, in every relevant aspect, with the recommendations included in the Code on Corporate Governance as schedule to General Resolution No. 606/12 issued by the C.N.V. (which modifies General Resolution No. 516/07).

It also monitors the application of the corporate governance policies provided for by the regulations in force through the Audit Committee and the Committee for Information Integrity. Periodically, the Committees provide the Board of Directors with information, and the Board gets to know the decisions of each Committee. What is appropriate is transcribed in the minutes drafted at the Board of Directors’ meetings.

The Audit Committee set by Capital Markets Law No. 26831 and the C.N.V.’s regulations is formed by three directors, two of whom are independent directors, and the Committee for Information Integrity’s mission is to comply with the provisions of U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Basic Holding Structure

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. is the holding company of a group whose main asset is the controlling equity interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (which currently represents 94.94333% of Banco Galicia’s capital stock). The latter, as a bank institution, is subject to certain regulatory restrictions imposed by the Argentine Central Bank. In particular, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. can only hold a 12.5% interest in the capital stock of companies that do not carry out activities considered supplementary by the Argentine Central Bank. Therefore, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. holds, either directly or indirectly, the remaining interests in several companies. In addition, Grupo Financiero Galicia indirectly holds a number of equity investments in supplementary companies that belong to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. as controlling company.

It is worth noting that Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. is a company whose purpose is solely to conduct financial and investment activities as per Section 31 of the Corporations Law, that is to say, it is a holding company whose activity involves managing its equity investments, assets and resources. This explains its limited personnel structure, as well as the fact that many of the business organization requirements, common for big productive institutions, cannot be applied to this company.

To conclude, one should note that Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. is technically under the control of other pure holding company, EBA Holding S.A., because the latter holds the majority of votes at the Shareholders’ Meetings, although it does not have any managerial functions over Grupo Financiero Galicia and the Company has no group relationship with EBA Holding S.A. No director of EBA Holding S.A. is a director of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

Compensation Systems

Directors’ compensation is defined by the General Shareholders’ Meeting and is fixed within the limits established by law and the corporate bylaws.

The Audit Committee expresses its opinion on whether compensation proposals for Directors are reasonable, taking into consideration market standards.

Business Conduct Policy

Since its beginning, Grupo Financiero Galicia has constantly shown respect for the rights of its shareholders, reliability and accuracy in the information provided, transparency as to its policies and decisions, and caution with regard to the disclosure of strategic business issues.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

NOTE 1. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These financial statements have been stated in thousands of Argentine Pesos and prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in Technical Pronouncements issued by the F.A.C.P.C.E., approved by the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. and the C.N.V., with the considerations mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in relation to the criteria for the valuation of the subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Sudamericana Holding S.A.

The preparation of financial statements at a given date requires the Company’s Management to make estimates and assessments regarding events and/or situations and/or circumstances that affect or may affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at that date, as well as the income and expenses recorded for the period/fiscal year. The Company’s Management makes estimates in order to calculate, at any given moment, for example, the depreciation charges, the recoverable value of assets, the income tax charge and provisions for contingencies. Estimates and assessments made at the date these financial statements were prepared may differ from the situations, events and/or circumstances that may finally occur in the future.

On March 25, 2003, the National Executive Branch issued Decree No. 664 establishing that financial statements for fiscal years ending as from said date be stated in nominal currency. Consequently, in accordance with Resolution No. 441/03 of the C.N.V., the Company discontinued the restatement of its financial statements as from March 1, 2003. This criterion is not in line with Argentine GAAP, under which financial statements are to be restated until September 30, 2003. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements.

The index used for restating the items in these financial statements was the domestic wholesale price index published by the I.N.D.E.C.

The most significant accounting policies used in preparing the Financial Statements are listed below:

A. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN DOMESTIC CURRENCY

Monetary assets and liabilities which include, where applicable, the interest accrued at period/fiscal year-end, are stated in period-end currency and therefore require no adjustment whatsoever.

B. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY (U.S. DOLLARS AND EUROS)

The assets and liabilities in foreign currency were stated at the U.S. Dollar exchange rate set by the Argentine Central Bank, at the close of operations on the last business day of the period/fiscal year.

Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar have been converted into the latter currency using the swap rates informed by the Argentine Central Bank.

Interest receivable or payable has been accrued, where applicable.

C. INVESTMENTS

C.1. Current

Special checking account deposits have been measured at their face value, plus accrued interest at period/fiscal year-end.

Argentine mutual fund units have been valued at fiscal year-end closing price.

The equity investment in Galval Agente de Valores S.A. as of March 31, 2013 has been recognized at its equity method as of December 31, 2012, restated at the exchange rate as of period/fiscal year-end.

As of December 31, 2012, Galval Agente de Valores S.A. was recognized at its equity method as of September 30, 2012, restated at the exchange rate as of fiscal year-end, net of the allowance for impairment of value.

The equity investment in GV Mandataria de Valores S.A. (In liquidation) has been recognized at its equity method as of March 31, 2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

The holdings of government and corporate securities were valued at their closing price as of December 31, 2012.

C.2. Non-current

The equity investment in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has been recognized at its equity method as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which arises from financial statements prepared in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP, which differ in the aspects mentioned in Note 1.16. to the consolidated financial statements from Argentine GAAP.

The equity investments in Net Investment S.A., Galicia Warrants S.A., Sudamericana Holding S.A. and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. are recognized using the equity method as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The consolidated financial statements of Sudamericana Holding S.A. have been prepared pursuant to the regulations of the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance (S.S.N.), which differ from Argentine GAAP in the aspects mentioned in Note 1.16. to the consolidated financial statements. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

D. GOODWILL

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of shares in other companies, which is recorded under “Investments”, has been valued at its acquisition cost, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization, calculated proportionally over the estimated useful life.

Amortization is assessed on a straight-line basis in equal monthly installments, being the amortization term of 120 months. See Schedule B.

The updated residual value of the assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at period/fiscal year-end.

E. FIXED ASSETS

Fixed Assets have been valued at their acquisition cost, restated at constant currency as mentioned in this Note, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation charges are calculated following the straight-line method, at rates determined based on the useful life assigned to the assets, which is 60 months for hardware and software, furniture and fixtures and 600 months for real estate. See Schedule A.

The updated residual value of the assets, taken as a whole, does not exceed their value-in-use at period/fiscal year-end.

F. FINANCIAL DEBT

Financial debt has been valued pursuant to the amount of money received, net of transaction costs, plus financial interest accrued based on the internal rate of return estimated at the initial recording time.

Financial debt in foreign currency has been valued at the benchmark U.S. Dollar exchange rate set by the Argentine Central Bank as of period/fiscal year-end.

G. INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

The Company has recognized the income tax charge according to the deferred tax method, thus recognizing the temporary differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities, at the rate in force (See Note 13 to the financial statements). Due to the unlikelihood that future taxable income may be enough to absorb tax loss carry-forwards, the Company has established an allowance for impairment of value with regard to such income and has not recorded tax loss carry-forwards. See Schedule E.

The Company determines the minimum presumed income tax at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at fiscal year-end. This tax is supplementary to the income tax. The Company’s tax liability for each fiscal year shall be determined by the higher of the two taxes. However, if the minimum presumed income tax were to exceed income tax in a given fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of the income tax that could be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2013 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2013, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)

The Company has set up a provision for the minimum presumed income tax credit accrued during this period and the previous fiscal year, for $ 3,014 and $ 2,757, respectively, since its recovery is not likely at the issuance date of these financial statements. See Schedule E.

H. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, derivative instruments have been valued at their estimated current value at those dates.

Differences originated as a consequence of the measurement criterion mentioned in the previous paragraph have been recognized in net income for the period/fiscal year.

I. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

I.1. Activity in the Shareholders’ Equity accounts has been restated as mentioned in paragraphs three and four of this Note.

The “Subscribed and Paid-in Capital” account has been stated at its face value and at the value of the contributions in the currency value of the fiscal year in which those contributions were actually made.

The adjustment stemming from the restatement of that account in constant currency has been allocated to the “Capital Adjustment” account.

I.2. Income and Expense Accounts

The results of operations for each period are presented in the period in which they accrue.

J. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

“Cash and Due from Banks”, investments and receivables held with the purpose of complying with the short-term commitments undertook, with a high level of liquidity, easily converted into known amounts of cash, subject to insignificant risks of changes in value and with a maturity less than three months from the date of the acquisition thereof, are considered to be cash and cash equivalents.

During 2012, the company experienced a 10% increase in the level of activity, as compared to the previous year, primarily resulting from the regional economies related to agriculture and sugar.

As of March 31, 2013, deposit certificates and warrants issued amounted to $ 351,076, regarding merchandise under custody located throughout the country.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, Galicia Warrants S.A. obtained income from services amounting to $ 3,999.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY SYNDICS’ COMMITTEE

To the Shareholders and Directors of

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

Tte. Gral. Juan D. Perón 456 – 2nd floor

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

1. We have performed a limited review of the Balance Sheet of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2013, and the related Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the three-month period then ended, as well as supplementary Notes 1 to 17, Schedules A, B, C, D, E, G and H, the Additional Information to the Notes to the Financial Statements required by Section 68 of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange regulations and the Supplementary and Explanatory Statement by the Board of Directors, required by the regulations concerning Accounting Documentation of the Córdoba Stock Exchange, and the Informative Review as of that date, which have been submitted by the Company to our consideration. Furthermore, we have performed a limited review of the consolidated financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its controlled companies for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, with Notes 1 to 39, which are presented as supplementary information. The preparation and issuance of those financial statements are the responsibility of the Company.

2. Our work was conducted in accordance with standards applicable to syndics in Argentina. These standards require the application of the procedures established by Technical Pronouncement No. 7 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences for limited reviews of financial statements for interim periods, and include verifying the consistency of the documents reviewed with the information concerning corporate decisions, as disclosed in minutes, and the conformity of those decisions with the law and the bylaws insofar as concerns formal and documental aspects. For purposes of our professional work, we have reviewed the work performed by the external auditors of the Company, Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., who issued their limited review report on May 9, 2013, in accordance with auditing standards applicable in Argentina for limited reviews of financial statements for interim periods. A limited review mainly involves applying analytical procedures to the accounting information and making inquiries to the staff responsible for accounting and financial issues. The scope of such review is substantially more limited than that of an audit of financial statements, the objective of which is to render an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. Therefore, we do not express such an opinion. We have not evaluated the business criteria regarding the different areas of the Company, as these matters are its exclusive responsibility.

In addition, we have verified that the Additional Information to the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Supplementary and Explanatory Statement by the Board of Directors, and the Informative Review, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 contain the information required by Section 68 of the Rules and Regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, Section 2 of the Rules concerning Accounting Documentation of the Córdoba Stock Exchange Regulations and Regulations of the National Securities Commission, respectively, and insofar as concerns our field of competence, that the numerical data contained therein are in agreement with the Company’s accounting records and other relevant documentation. Assumptions and projections on future events contained in that documentation are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors.

We also report that, in compliance with the legality control that is part of our field of competence, during this period we have applied the procedures described in Section 294 of Law No. 19550, which we deemed necessary according to the circumstances.

3. The subsidiary Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has prepared its financial statements following the valuation and disclosure criteria established by Argentine Central Bank regulations, which have been taken as the basis for calculating the equity method and preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
