NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS FOR PREPARATION

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (individually referred to as the “Company” and, jointly with its subsidiaries, as the “Group”) was constituted on September 14, 1999, as a financial service holding company organized under the laws of Argentina. The Company’s main asset is its interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (the “Bank”). The Bank is a private-sector bank that offers a full spectrum of financial services both to individual and corporate customers. In addition, the Company has a controlling interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A., which maintains investments related to the issuance of credit cards and supplementary services; Sudamericana Holding S.A., a company engaged in the insurance business; Galicia Administradora de Fondos S.A., a mutual fund manager, and Galicia Warrants S.A., a company engaged in the issuance of warrants.

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for publication through Minutes of Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 570 dated August 16, 2018.

1.1.        ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

In light of the fact that the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2 – Section I – Chapter I of Title IV: Periodical Reporting Requirements of the Argentine National Securities Commission (“C.N.V.”), the Group is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank. As required by the aforementioned article, we hereby report that:

- The Company’s corporate purpose is exclusively related to financial and investment activities; the equity investment in the Bank and Tarjetas Regionales S.A., the latter being subject to the consolidated supervision requirements prescribed by the Argentine Central Bank (Communiqué “A” 2989, as supplemented), accounts for 94.76% of the Company’s assets, constituting the Company’s main asset;

- 89.65% of the Company’s income is derived from its share of profit (loss) in the entities referred to in the preceding paragraph; and

- The Company has a 100% equity interest in the Bank and an 83% equity interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A., thus having control over both entities.

The Argentine Central Bank, through Communiqué “A” 5541, as amended, set forth a convergence plan towards the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), which was addressed to entities under the Argentine Central Bank’s supervision, effective for the fiscal year that commenced January 1, 2018, except for item 5.5 (Impairment) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, which has been temporarily waived until January 1, 2020, at which time entities will be required to apply the provisions on Impairment of Financial Assets.

Entities are also required to prepare their opening financial statements since January 1, 2017, which will serve as comparative basis to the financial statements commencing on January 1, 2018, under these standards with the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2018 being the first interim financial statements being prepared under these standards.

The Group’s consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” The consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the criteria the Group expects to adopt in preparing its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

Comparative figures and figures as of the transition date (January 1, 2017) have been modified to reflect the adjustments to the aforementioned accounting framework.

Note 3 presents a reconciliation of the figures disclosed in the balance sheet, statement of comprehensive income, statement of other comprehensive income and statement of cash flows and cash equivalents comprising the consolidated condensed interim financial statements issued under the previous accounting framework to the figures disclosed in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements according to the IFRS-based accounting framework.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements should be read together with the Group’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2017 prepared in accordance with the accounting framework described above. Furthermore, the Note entitled “Additional Information as of December 31, 2017 for the Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements” included in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements contains certain information under the IFRS-based accounting framework which is required to understand these consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

It has been concluded that these consolidated condensed interim financial statements fairly present the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

1.2.        BASIS FOR PREPARATION

These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS-based accounting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank described in Note 1.1.

In preparing these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Group is required to make estimates and assessments to determine the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed as of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Therefore, estimates are made in order to calculate, at a given time, the recoverable value of assets, the loan loss provisions and provisions for other contingencies, the depreciation charges and the income tax charge, among other things. Future actual results may differ from estimates and assessments made as of the date these consolidated condensed interim financial statements were prepared.

The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity or the areas in which the assumptions and estimates are material for these consolidated condensed interim financial statements are described in Note 2.

(a)        Going Concern

As of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, there are no uncertainties as to developments or circumstances that may call into question the likelihood that the Group will continue operating normally as a going concern.

(b)        Measurement Unit

The Group’s consolidated condensed interim financial statements reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of currency until February 28, 2003, the date on which the adjustment for inflation was discontinued, as required by Decree No. 664/03 of the Argentine National Executive Branch, Section 268 of General Resolution No. 7/2005 of the Corporation Control Authority, Communiqué “A” 3921 of the Argentine Central Bank, and General Resolution No. 441/03 of the C.N.V. In addition, 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.) established the discontinuation of the recognition of the changes in the purchasing power of currency effective October 1, 2003.

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be restated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost or the current cost method.

In order to conclude whether a given economy qualifies as hyperinflationary pursuant to the terms of IAS 29, the applicable regulations set forth certain factors that should be considered, including a three-year cumulative inflation rate reaching or exceeding 100%. In July 2018, the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.) issued a release pointing out that, effective since fiscal years ending on July 1, 2018 and thereafter, entities reporting under IFRS are required to apply the inflation adjustment since the applicable conditions for such application have been satisfied.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company’s controlling agencies have not yet issued a decision in this regard. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2018 the Company has not applied the criteria for the restatement of financial information set forth in IAS 29. The application of such criteria entails recognizing the effects of inflation on the entity’s shareholders’ equity and profit and loss account, which have to be restated into constant currency as of the measurement date; therefore, the balances so restated would substantially differ from currently reported balances.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

In assessing the effects of inflation, certain definitions are required from practitioners and the controlling agencies, including the indexes to be used (Wholesale Domestic Price Index/Consumer Price Index (IPIM and IPC, as per the initials in Spanish, respectively)), the series to be applied, and the treatment to be afforded upon the first-time application. These definitions are still pending as of the date of these financial statements.

Therefore, in reading and analyzing these financial statements, users should consider the last few years’ cumulative inflation rates and certain macroeconomic variables affecting the Company’s business, including labor costs and prices of supplies.

(c)        Changes in Accounting Criteria/New Accounting Standards

As provided for in the Argentine Central Bank’s Organic Charter and the Financial Institutions Law, as new IFRS are approved or amended, or as the IFRS currently in force are repealed, and once these changes are adopted by way of Adoption Circulars handed down by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.), the Argentine Central Bank will decide whether to approve such changes for financial institutions. In general terms, the early adoption of any given IFRS will not be admitted, unless specifically admitted at the time of adoption.

Below is a summary of the new standards, changes and interpretations which have been published but have not yet come into force for fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2018, and which have not been adopted earlier.

IFRS 16 “Leases”: In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases” which sets out a new accounting model for leases. Under IFRS 16, a contract is or contains a lease if the contract confers the lessee a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, for consideration. IFRS 16 requires that the lessee recognize the liability arising from the lease reflecting the lease’s future payments and a right of use of the assets for substantially all leases, other than certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Lessor accounting is maintained as provided for in IAS 17. However, the new accounting model for lessee is expected to have an impact on negotiations between lessors and lessees. Entities are required to apply IFRS 16 for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2019. The Group is assessing the impact the adoption of such standard will have on its financial statements.

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”: On May 18, 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts,” establishing a comprehensive accounting framework based on measurement and disclosure principles for insurance contracts. The new standard supersedes IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts,” and requires that insurance contracts be measured using current fulfillment cash flows and that revenues be recognized as the insurance service is delivered during the term of the coverage. Entities are required to apply IFRS 17 for fiscal years commencing on or after November 1, 2021. The Group is assessing the potential impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment”: This interpretation clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 “Income Tax” should be applied when there is uncertainty over the income tax treatment. IFRIC 23 was published in June of 2017 and entities will be required to apply it for fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2019.

To date, there are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations which have not yet come into force and which are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

1.3.        CONSOLIDATION

A subsidiary is an entity, including structured entities, over which the Group has control because (i) it has the power to direct the investee’s relevant activities substantially affecting its returns, (ii) it has exposure to, or rights in, variable returns by reason of its involvement with the investee, and (iii) it has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. The existence and effect of substantive rights, including potential voting rights, is taken into account when assessing whether the Group has influence on another entity. In order for a right to be substantive, it must be exercisable by its holder when decisions about the direction of the entity’s relevant activities need to be made. The Group may have control over an entity, even if it is entitled to less than a majority of voting rights.

In addition, other investors’ protective rights, such as those related to substantive changes to the investee’s activities or only applicable under exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from having power over an investee. Subsidiaries are consolidated as of the date control is transferred to the Group, and are removed from consolidation as of the date on which control ceases.

(*) The final distribution was paid out on January 9, 2018.

As result of the application of IFRS 10 “Consolidation,” the Group has started to recognize Financial Trusts Saturno Créditos and Financial Trust Galtrust I in its consolidated financial statements, and has ceased to recognize Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A., as these two companies have been classified as held for sale.

For purposes of the consolidation, the Group relied on the Bank’s and Tarjetas Regionales S.A.’s financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2018, which reflect the same period of time as the Group’s financial statements. The financial statements of the other subsidiaries have been adjusted in order for them to reflect similar criteria as those applied by the Group in preparing its consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Accounts receivable and payable and gains (losses) from inter-company transactions were eliminated from the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

A non-controlling interest is a subsidiary’s share of net income (loss) and shareholders’ equity attributable to interests which are not owned by the Company, either directly or indirectly. Non-controlling interests are disclosed as a separate item of the Group’s shareholders’ equity.

According to the provisions set forth in IFRS 3 “Business Combinations,” the acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and the contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the difference between the net resulting amount, as of the acquisition date, of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, the value of the consideration transferred, the amount of the non-controlling interest in the investee and the fair value of an interest in the investee before the acquisition date.

The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities owing by such acquirer to the investee’s former owners, and the equity instruments issued by the acquirer. Transaction costs are recognized as expenses in the periods in which costs were incurred and services were received, other than transaction costs incurred in issuing equity instruments which are deducted from equity and the transaction costs incurred in issuing debt instruments, which are deducted from their carrying amount.

1.4.        TRANSACTIONS WITH THE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

Transactions with the non-controlling interest are considered as transactions with the Group’s shareholders. When acquiring a non-controlling interest, the difference between the price paid and the respective interest in the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s net assets acquired is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The gains and losses on the disposal of equity interests are also recognized in shareholders’ equity, to the extent control is maintained.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

1.5.        ASSOCIATES

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence (either directly or indirectly), but not control, usually associated to a 20%-50% interest in voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of associates includes the goodwill identified in the acquisition, net of accumulated impairment losses, if any. Dividends received from associates reduce the carrying amount of the investment in associates. Other changes subsequent to the acquisition in the Group’s interest in an associate’s net assets are recognized as follows: (i) the Group’s interest in the profits or losses of the associates is accounted for in the income statement under Income (Loss) for Associates and Joint Ventures, and (ii) the Group’s interest in other comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income and is disclosed separately. However, when the Group’s share of losses of an associate is equal to or higher than its interest in such associate, the Group ceases to recognize its share of additional losses, unless it has incurred liabilities or has made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains in transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated on a proportional basis to the Group’s interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction evidences that the transferred asset has been impaired.

1.6.        SEGMENT REPORTING

An operating segment is a component of an entity (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity), (b) whose operating results are reviewed regularly to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and (c) for which confidential financial information is available.

Operating segments are reported consistently with the internal reports submitted to the Board of Directors, which is responsible for making the Group’s strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments.

1.7.        FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(a)        Functional Currency and Reporting Currency

The figures disclosed in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements for each of the Group’s entities are stated in their functional currency, that is, the currency of the main economic environment in which they operate. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements are stated in Argentine Pesos, which is the Group’s functional and reporting currency.

(b)        Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currency are translated to functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction or valuation dates when items are measured at closing. Gains and losses in foreign currency on the settlement of these transactions and on the translation of monetary assets and liabilities to foreign currency at the exchange rates prevailing at closing are recognized in the income statement under “Exchange Rate Differences on Gold and Foreign Currency,” except when deferred in equity as in the case of qualifying cash flow hedges, where applicable.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the U.S. dollar set by the Argentine Central Bank prevailing at the close of operations on the last working day of each month.

As of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and January 1, 2017, balances in U.S. Dollars were converted applying the reference exchange rate ($28.8617, $18.7742, $16.5985 and $15.8502, respectively) set by the Argentine Central Bank. Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar were converted into the latter currency using swap rates reported by the Argentine Central Bank.

1.8.        CASH AND BANK DEPOSITS

The item Cash and Bank Deposits includes cash available and unrestricted deposits held in banks, which are short-term liquid instruments and have a maturity of less than three months from the origination date.

The assets disclosed under cash and cash equivalents are accounted for at amortized cost which approximates its fair value.

1.9.        FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Initial Recognition

The Group recognizes a financial asset or liability in its consolidated condensed interim financial statements, as the case may be, when it becomes a party to the financial instrument contract. Purchases and sales are recognized on the trading date on which the Group buys or sells these instruments.

Upon initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value, plus or less, in the case of instruments that are not recognized at fair value with changes in profit or loss, the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition, such as fees and commissions.

Where the fair value differs from the acquisition cost at the time of initial recognition, the Group recognizes the difference as follows:

a. When the fair value is consistent with the financial asset or liability market value, or is based on a valuation method relying on market values only, the difference is recognized as profit or loss, as the case may be.

b. In other cases, the difference is deferred, with recognition of the profit or loss over time being determined case by case. The difference is amortized during the life of the instrument until such time as the fair value can be measured on the basis of market values.

Financial Assets

a.        Debt Instruments

The Group classifies as debt instruments such instruments that are considered financial liabilities for the issuer, including loans, government and private securities, bonds, and accounts receivable from customers.

Classification

As set out in IFRS 9, the Group classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income or at fair value with changes in profit or loss, on the basis of:

- the Group’s business model to manage financial assets; and

- the characteristics of contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

Business Model

The business model is the manner in which the Group manages a set of financial assets to achieve a specific business goal. It represents the manner in which the Group maintains instruments for cash generation.

The Group may follow several business models; whose objective is:

- Holding instruments until maturity;

- Holding instruments in portfolio to collect cash flows and, in turn, sell them if deemed convenient; or

- Holding instruments for trading.

The Group’s business model does not depend on the intended purpose of an individual instrument. Accordingly, this condition is not an approach for classification of instruments on an individual basis. Instead, such classification is determined at a higher level of aggregation.

The Group only reclassifies an instrument if and when the business model for managing financial assets has changed. Such reclassification takes place as from the commencement of the period in which the change has occurred. Such changes are not expected to be frequent, with no changes having occurred during the reporting period.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

Characteristics of Cash Flows

The Group assesses whether the cash flows from the aggregated instruments do not substantially differ from the cash flows it would receive as interest only; otherwise, such instruments should be measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss.

Based on the aforementioned, Financial Assets are classified into three categories:

(i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when:

(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to maintain financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

(b) the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on certain specified dates, to cash flows which are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The amortized cost of a financial asset is equal to its acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization plus accrued interest (calculated applying the effective rate method), net of impairment losses, if any.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income:

Financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income when:

(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

(b) the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on certain specified dates, to cash flows which are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal amount.

These instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income. The gains and losses arising from the changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income under a separate component of equity. Losses or impairment reversals, interest income, and exchange gains and losses are charged to income. Upon the sale or disposal of the instrument, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to the income statement.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value with changes in profit or loss:

Financial assets at fair value with changes in profit or loss include:

- Instruments held for trading;

- Instruments specifically designated at fair value with changes in profit or loss; and

- Instruments whose contractual terms do not represent cash flows but rather principal or interest payments only on outstanding principal amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and the gains or losses derived from them are charged to the income statement as realized.

The Group classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if such instrument is acquired or incurred for the main purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term, or if it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments which are managed jointly and for which there is evidence of short-term profits, or if it is a derivative which does not qualify as a hedging instrument. Derivatives and trading securities are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value.

Furthermore, financial assets may be measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss when, in doing so, the Group eliminates or substantially reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency.

b.        Equity Instruments

Equity instruments are those considered as such by the issuer; in other words, instruments which do not entail a contractual payment obligation and which evidence a residual interest on the issuer’s assets after deducting all of its liabilities.

Such instruments are measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss, except where management has availed, at the time of their initial recognition, of the irrevocable option to measure them at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income. This method may only be applied when instruments are not held for trading and their respective gains or losses will be accounted for in Other Comprehensive Income, with no reclassification being allowed, even if already realized. Dividends receivable from such instrument will be charged to income only at the time the Group becomes entitled to receive payment.

Financial Liabilities

Classification

The Group classifies its financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective rate method, except for:

- Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss, including derivative instruments.

- Liabilities resulting from the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition requirements.

- Financial guarantee contracts.

- Loan commitments at lower than market rates.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss: The Group may, upon initial recognition, avail of the irrevocable option to designate a liability at fair value with changes in profit or loss, if and only if exercising such option results in a better measurement of financial information because:

- the Group eliminates or substantially reduces measurement or recognition inconsistencies which would otherwise be revealed in valuation;

- if financial assets and liabilities are managed and performance is assessed on a fair value basis, according to a documented investment or risk management strategy; or

- if a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives and the entity has opted for designating the entire contract at fair value with changes in profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts: Financial guarantee contracts require that the issuer make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it may incur if a specific debtor fails to make payment when due under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments at lower than market rates are initially measured at fair value and then remeasured at the higher value resulting from a comparison between the commission pending accrual at year-end and the applicable allowance for impairment.

Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial Assets

A financial asset or, where applicable, a portion of a financial asset or a portion of a group of similar financial assets, is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have been extinguished or (ii) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed the obligation to pay right away all cash flows received to a third party under a pass-through agreement; and substantially all risks and rewards inherent to the asset have been transferred or, if substantially all risks and rewards inherent to the asset have not been transferred or retained, when control over such asset has been transferred.

When the contractual rights to receive the cash flows generated by the asset have been transferred or a pass-through agreement has been entered into, the entity will assess whether or not, and to which extent, it has retained the risks and rewards inherent to ownership of an asset. If an entity has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and rewards inherent to ownership of an asset, nor has it transferred control over such asset, then it will continue recognizing such asset in its financial statements to the extent of its continuing involvement with the same.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

In this case, the entity will also recognize the related liability. The transferred asset and the related liability are measured in such a manner as to reflect the rights and obligations the Group has retained.

When continuing involvement takes the form of collateral over the transferred asset, it is measured at the lower of (i) the original carrying amount, and (ii) the maximum amount of the consideration received which the entity could be required to repay.

Financial Liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognized when the payment obligation ends, is canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is exchanged for another with the same borrower under substantially different terms, or the prevailing terms are substantially modified, such exchange or modification will be treated as a derecognition of the original liability, and a new liability will be recognized. The difference between the carrying amount of the initial financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

1.10.        DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative instruments, including foreign exchange contracts, interest rate futures, forwards, interest rate and currency swaps, and currency and interest rate options, are carried at fair value.

All derivative instruments are accounted for as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative, relative to the agreed-upon price. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are charged to income for the period.

The Group has not applied hedge accounting in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

1.11.        REPO TRANSACTIONS

Reverse Repo Transactions

According to the derecognition principles set out in IFRS 9, these transactions are treated as secured loans for the risk has not been transferred to the counterparty.

Loans granted in the form of reverse repo agreements are accounted for under “Repo Transactions”, classified by counterparty (financial debtors, Argentine Central Bank and non-financial debtors) and also classified by the type of assets received as collateral.

At the end of each month, accrued interest income is charged against “Repo Transactions” with its corresponding offsetting entry in “Interest Income.”

The underlying assets received in respect of the reserve repo transactions are accounted for in Off-balance Sheet Items. These accounts reflect, as of each month-end, the notional amounts of current transactions measured at fair value and converted to their equivalent amounts in Pesos, where applicable. The assets received and sold by the entity are not deducted, but rather derecognized at the end of the repo transaction, and an in-kind liability is recorded to reflect the obligation of delivering the security disposed of.

Repo Transactions

Loans granted in the form of repo agreements are accounted for under “Repo Transactions”, classified by counterparty (financial creditors, Argentine Central Bank and non-financial creditors) and also by the type of asset pledged as collateral.

In these transactions, when the recipient of the underlying asset becomes entitled to sell it or pledge it as collateral, it is reclassified to “Financial Assets Pledged as Collateral.” At the end of each month, these assets are measured according to the category they were classified into before the repo transaction, and results are charged against the applicable accounts, depending on the type of asset.

At the end of each month, accrued interest expense is charged against “Repo Transactions” with its corresponding offsetting entry in “Interest Expense.”

1.12.        ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN LOSSES

As concerns allowances for loan losses, the “Minimum Allowances for Loan Losses” set out in Section 8 of the Liquidity and Solvency Circular (LISOL) still remain in force and are detailed below:

Entities are required to apply the following guidelines on minimum allowances for loan losses in respect of total debts owing by their customers:

Commercial Loan Portfolio	Consumer or Consumer Comparable Loan Portfolio	With Preferred Guarantees			Without Preferred Guarantees
Normal	Normal		1	%		1	%
Under Observation	Low Risk		3	%		5	%
Under Negotiation or under Refinancing Agreements	N/A		6	%		12	%
With Problems	Medium Risk		12	%		25	%
High Risk of Insolvency	High Risk		25	%		50	%
Uncollectible	Uncollectible		50	%		100	%
Uncollectible due to Technical Reasons	Uncollectible due to Technical Reasons		100	%		100	%

Loans backed with preferred guarantees “A” require a provision of 1% independently of the customer category.

The aforementioned categories of debtors are broken down as follows:

- Commercial Loan Portfolio: It includes all loans other than:

• Consumer and mortgage loans.

• Commercial loans for up to the equivalent of 40% of the reference value set out in the standard.

- Consumer Loan Portfolio: It includes all loans excluded from the preceding item.

On the other hand, the status assigned to each debtor within the commercial loan portfolio is determined, in the first instance, on the basis of the debtor’s repayment capacity and, in the second instance, on the basis of the foreclosure of its assets, while the status assigned to debtors within the consumer and consumer comparable loan portfolio is assigned on the basis of the degree of fulfillment of their respective obligations.

Among other specific provisions, the Bank has opted for discontinuing interest accrual for customers classified in an irregular status.

1.13.        LEASES

1.13.1.        Operating Leases

Leases where the lessor retains a substantial portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of lease incentives) are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

1.13.2.        Financial Leases

Financial leases are capitalized, at the commencement of the lease, at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of minimum lease payments.

Each lease payment is distributed between liabilities and financial charges. The respective lease liabilities, net of financial charges, are included in other financial liabilities. The interest component of the financial cost is charged to income during the lease term in such a manner as to obtain a constant periodical interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Assets acquired under a financial lease are depreciated during the shorter of the asset useful life and the lease term.

1.14.        PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The Group has availed of the option set out in IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of IFRS” and has adopted the fair value as attributed cost for certain items of property, plant and equipment as of the transition date to the IFRS discussed in Note 3.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

Assets are measured at acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, if any. The cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the items.

The items of property, plant and equipment acquired in business combinations were initially measured at their estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition.

Subsequent costs are included in the value of the asset and are recognized as a separate asset, as the case may be, if and only if future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. When improvements are introduced to the asset, the carrying amount of the asset being replaced is derecognized, and the new asset is depreciated over its remaining useful life.

Repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in the consolidated income statement for the period/year in which they were incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using annual rates sufficient to extinguish the value of the assets at the end of their estimated useful life. If an asset is comprised by significant components with varying useful lives, such components will be recognized and depreciated as separate items.

Property, plant and equipment residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted, as needed, as of each year-end or when indicators of impairment exist.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is immediately reduced to its recoverable value when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable value.

Gains and losses from the disposal of items of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds from the disposal to the carrying amount of the respective asset and are charged to income.

1.15.        INTANGIBLE ASSETS

1.15.1. Licenses

Licenses acquired individually are initially measured at cost, while licenses acquired through business combinations are measured at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date.

As of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, intangible assets with a definite useful life are disclosed net of accumulated amortization and/or impairment losses, if any. These assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment exist.

Licenses acquired by the Group were classified as intangible assets with a definite useful life and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the license term.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are those arising from contracts or other legal rights renewable at no significant cost and for which, on the basis of an analysis of all relevant factors, there is no foreseeable time limit during which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the Group. These intangible assets are not amortized, but are rather tested for impairment on an annual basis or when indicators of impairment exist, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The determination of the indefinite useful life is reviewed on an annual basis to confirm whether it is still applicable.

1.15.2.        Software

Costs associated with software maintenance are recognized as an expense when incurred. Development, acquisition and deployment costs, unique and identifiable and directly attributable to the design and testing of software controlled by the Group, are recognized as assets.

Costs incurred in software development, acquisition and deployment recognized as intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis during the estimated useful life.

1.16.        ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

1.16.1.        Assets Held for Sale

The assets, or group of assets, classified as available for sale pursuant to IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,” are disclosed separately from the other assets.

An asset may be classified as available for sale (including the loss of control over a subsidiary) if its carrying amount is fundamentally recoverable as a result of a sale transaction, in lieu of the continued use of such asset.

In order for an asset to be included in the preceding classification, it will have to meet the following conditions:

- it must be available for immediate sale in its current condition;

- management must be committed to a plan to sell the asset and must have initiated an active program to locate a buyer and complete the plan;

- the asset must be actively marketed for sale at a reasonable price in relation to its current fair value;

- the sale must be expected to be completed within 12 months from the reclassification date;

- it is unlikely that the plan will be significantly changed or withdrawn.

Assets, or groups of assets, classified as available for sale pursuant to IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations,” are measured at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell at closing.

The asset will not be depreciated for as long as it is classified as held for sale, or as long as it is part of a disposal group of assets classified as held for sale.

1.16.2.        Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a Group’s component that either has been disposed of, or classified as held for sale, and meets any of the following conditions:

- represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations;

- is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

- is an independent entity exclusively acquired for resale.

Any gain or loss on the remeasurement of an asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale which does not meet the requirements to be classified as a discontinued operation will be recognized in income from continuing operations.

1.17.        IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are rather tested for impairment on an annual basis. Unlike the preceding assumption, amortizable assets are tested for impairment when events or circumstances occur indicating that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or, at least, on an annual basis.

Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value of an asset is the higher of the net proceeds that would be derived from its disposal or its value in use. For purposes of the impairment test, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are generated (cash-generating units or CGU). The carrying amount of non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which have experienced impairment is reviewed at each reporting date to check for potential impairment reversal.

1.18.        TRUST ASSETS

Assets held by the Group in its capacity as trustee are not reported in the consolidated balance sheet. Commissions and fees earned on trust activities are disclosed in Commission Income.

1.19.        OFFSETTING

Financial assets and liabilities are offset by reporting the net amount in the consolidated balance sheet only to the extent the entity currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off, and intends to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.20.        LOANS FROM THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

The amounts owing to other financial institutions are recorded at the time the bank disburses the proceeds to the economic group. The non-derivative financial liability is measured at amortized cost. Where the Group buys back its own debt, such debt will be removed from its consolidated condensed interim financial statements and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid will be recognized as financial income or expense, as the case may be.

1.21.        PROVISIONS / CONTINGENCIES

According to the IFRS-based accounting framework adopted by the Argentine Central Bank, a provision will be recognized when:

a. an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

b. it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying future economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and

c. a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

An entity will be deemed to have a constructive obligation where (a) the entity has assumed certain responsibilities as a consequence of past practices or public policies and (b) as a result, the entity has created an expectation that it will discharge those responsibilities.

The Group recognizes the following provisions:

For labor, civil and commercial lawsuits: These provisions are calculated on the basis of attorneys’ reports about the status of the proceedings and the estimate about the potential losses the Group may sustain, as well as on the basis of past experience in proceedings of these kinds.

For miscellaneous risks: These provisions are set up to address contingencies that may trigger obligations for the Group. In estimating the provision amounts, the Group evaluates the likelihood of occurrence taking into consideration the opinion of its legal and professional advisors.

The provision amount recognized by the Group must be the best estimate at the reporting period-end of the disbursement required to settle the current obligation.

Where the financial effect of the discount is material, the provision amount must be the present value of the disbursements expected to be required to settle the obligation applying a pre-tax interest rate that reflects prevailing market conditions on the value of money and the risks specific to such obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized under Financial Income (Loss), Net in the income statement.

The Group will not account for positive contingencies, other than those arising from deferred taxes and those whose occurrence is virtually certain.

As of the date of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, the Group’s management believes there are no elements leading to the determination of the existence of contingencies that might materialize and have a negative impact on these consolidated condensed interim financial statements other than those set forth in Note 8.3.

The Group evaluates, at the end of the reporting period, the adjustment of insurance liabilities that have been recognized, using the current estimates of future cash flows from insurance contracts. If the evaluation shows that the carrying amount of its liabilities for insurance contracts (less deferred acquisition costs and related intangible assets) is not adequate, considering the estimated future cash flows, the total amount of the inadequacy will be recognized in profit or loss. According to IFRS 4, the Group will be required to determine the adequacy of the carrying amount recorded pursuant to the guidelines set out in IAS 37.

1.22.        OTHER NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Non-financial accounts payable are accrued when the counterparty has fulfilled its contractual obligations and are measured at amortized cost.

1.23.        NOTES ISSUED

The notes issued by the Group are measured at amortized cost. Where the Group buys back its own notes, the liability in respect of such notes will be deemed discharged and, accordingly, the notes will be derecognized. Where the Group buys back its own debt, such debt will be removed from its separate condensed interim financial statements and the difference between the residual value of the financial liability and the amount paid will be recognized as financial income or expense, as the case may be.

1.24.        SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Shareholders’ equity accounts are stated in a currency which does not reflect the changes in the price index since February 2003, except for the item “Capital Stock,” which is carried at face value. The restatement adjustment is included in “Adjustments to Shareholders’ Equity.”

Ordinary shares are recognized in shareholders’ equity and carried at face value. When any company comprising the Group buys shares of the Company’s capital stock (treasury stock), the payment made, including any cost directly attributable to the transaction (net of taxes), is deducted from shareholders’ equity until the shares are either canceled or disposed of.

1.25.        PROFIT RESERVES

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, the Company and its subsidiaries, other than the Bank, are required to appropriate 5% of the net income for the fiscal year to the Legal Reserve until such reserve is equal to 20% of capital stock.

As concerns the Bank, according to the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, 20% of net income for the fiscal year — net of the previous years’ adjustments, if any — is required to be appropriated to the legal reserve. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in appropriating amounts to other reserves, Financial Institutions are required to comply with the provisions established by the Argentine Central Bank in the revised text on the distribution of dividends as described in Note 10.8.

1.26.        DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS

The distribution of dividends to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the fiscal year in which dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders.

1.27.        REVENUE RECOGNITION

Financial income and expense are recognized in respect of all debt instruments in accordance with the effective rate method, pursuant to which all gains and losses which are an integral part of the transaction effective rate are deferred.

Gains or losses included in the effective rate embrace disbursements or receipts relating to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability, such as payments received for the analysis of the customer’s financial position, negotiation of the instrument terms, preparation and processing of the documents required to consummate the transactions, and payments received for the extension of credit arrangements expected to be used by the customer. The Group accounts for its non-derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for those included in “Fair Value Liabilities with Changes to Income,” which are measured at fair value.

Fees and commissions earned by the Group on the origination of syndicated loans are not part of the product effective rate, and are recognized in the income statement at the time the service is delivered, to the extent the Group does not retain a portion of the same, or such effective rate is maintained under the same conditions as the other participants. Commissions and fees earned by the Group on negotiations in third parties’ transactions are not part of the effective rate either, and are recognized at the time the transactions are executed.

The Group’s income from services is recognized in the income statement as performance obligations are fulfilled, thus differing from income from customer loyalty programs, which is accounted for at the fair value of the points and the redemption rate, until such time as points are redeemed by customers and may be charged to profit or loss for the period.

1.28.        INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

1.28.1.        Income Tax

The income tax expense for the period includes current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except for items required to be recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In this case, the income tax liability related to such items is also recognized in such statement.

The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The Group periodically assesses the position assumed in tax returns in connection with circumstances in which the tax laws are subject to interpretation. On the other hand, when required, the Group sets up provisions in respect of the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is determined, in its entirety, by applying the liability method on the temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, the deferred tax arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the time of the transaction, does not affect income or loss for accounting or tax purposes, is not recorded. The deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) enacted as of the balance sheet date and that are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent future tax benefits are likely to arise against which the temporary differences might be offset.

The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, provided that the following two conditions are met:

(i) the Group controls the timing on which temporary differences will be reversed;

(ii) such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

The balances of deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when a legal right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and to the extent such balances are related to the same tax authority of the Group or its subsidiaries, where tax balances are intended to be, and may be, settled on a net basis.

1.28.2.        Minimum Presumed Income Tax

The Group determines the minimum presumed income tax at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at each fiscal year-end. This tax is supplementary to income tax. The Group’s tax liability is equal to the higher of the two taxes. However, if the minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax in a given fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a payment due to the income tax that could be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years.

The minimum presumed income tax credit disclosed under Other Non-Current Receivables is the portion expected to be offset against the income tax in excess of minimum presumed income tax to be generated in the following ten fiscal years.

1.29.        EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated as income (loss) attributable to the Group’s ordinary shareholders, excluding the after-tax effect of benefits attached to preferred shares, divided by average ordinary shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting income (loss) attributable to shareholders and average ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of the potential conversion into equity instruments of all convertible notes held by the Group at period-end.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS-based accounting framework requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates. It also requires that management make judgments in applying the accounting standards set forth by the Argentine Central Bank to define the Group’s accounting criteria.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$), Except as Otherwise Stated

The Group has identified the following areas, which involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or in which the assumptions and estimates are material for these condensed interim financial statements, as essential to understanding the underlying accounting/financial reporting risks.

a.        FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments not listed in active markets is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques are validated and reviewed periodically by qualified personnel independent from the areas in which they were developed. All models are assessed and adjusted before being put into use in order to ensure that results reflect current information and comparable market prices. Where possible, models rely on observable information only; however, certain factors, such as the Group’s and the counterparty’s respective credit risks, volatilities and correlations, require the use of estimates. Changes in the assumptions about these factors may affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

b.        IMPAIRMENT LOSSES ON LOANS AND ADVANCES

The Group makes estimates about its customers’ repayment capacity to determine the provision level required to set up according to the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

Such estimates are made as frequently as required by the minimum loan loss provisions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank.

Requirements for Allowances for Loan Losses

The Argentine Central Bank requires that minimum allowances for loan losses be setup for the different categories in which customers are classified. The rates vary by category and by whether the loans are secured. The percentages apply to total customer obligations, both principal and interest. The allowance for loan losses on the performing portfolio is unallocated, while allowances for the other categories are individually allocated. The regulations require the suspension of interest accrual or the setup of allowances for 100% of interest for customers classified as “With Problems,” “Medium Risk” or lower.

c.        IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Intangible assets with definite useful life and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life. The Group monitors the conditions associated with these assets to determine whether the events and circumstances warrant a review of the remaining amortization or depreciation term and whether there are factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the value of the asset which might not be recoverable.

Identifying the indicators of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets requires the use of judgment. The Group has concluded that there were no indicators of impairment for any of the periods reported in its consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

d.        INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX

The assessment of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires a significant level of judgment. Current income tax is accounted for according to the amounts expected to be paid, while deferred income tax is accounted for on the basis of the temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, at the rates expected to be in force at the time of reversal of such differences.

A deferred tax asset is recognized when future taxable income is expected to exist to offset such temporary differences, based on management’s assumptions about the amounts and timing of such future taxable income. Then, management needs to determine whether deferred tax assets are likely to be used and offset against future taxable income. Actual results may differ from these estimates, for instance, changes in the applicable tax laws or the outcome of the final review of the tax returns by the tax authorities and tax courts.

Future taxable income and the number of tax benefits likely to be available in the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management, on the basis of expectations which are deemed reasonable.

3.2.    OPTIONAL EXEMPTIONS TO IFRS

IFRS 1 allows entities that adopt IFRS for the first time to consider certain one-time exceptions. Such exceptions have been established by the IASB to make the first application of certain IFRS simpler, eliminating the mandatory nature of their retrospective application.

Below are the optional exemptions applicable to the Group under IFRS 1:

1. Attributed Cost of Bank Property, Plant and Equipment and Investment Properties: The current value of bank property, plant and equipment and investment properties has been adopted as attributed cost as of the date of transition to IFRS.

2. Business Combinations: The Group has opted for not applying IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” retrospectively for business combinations prior to the date of transition to IFRS.

3. Assets and Liabilities of Subsidiaries that Have Already Applied IFRS: The Group has adopted IFRS for the first time for its subsidiary Tarjetas Regionales S.A. and its related subsidiaries. Consequently, it has measured the assets and liabilities of such subsidiaries in its consolidated condensed interim financial statements for the same carrying amounts disclosed in their financial statements.

The Group has not made use of other exemptions available in IFRS 1.

3.3.    MANDATORY EXCEPTIONS TO IFRS

Below are the mandatory exceptions applicable to the Group under IFRS 1:

1. Estimates: The estimates made by the Group according to IFRS as of January 1, 2017 (date of transition to IFRS) are consistent with the estimates made as of the same date according to the Argentine Central Bank’s accounting standards, considering what is described in Note 1.1 (non-application of the impairment chapter of IFRS 9).

2. Accounting derecognition of financial assets and liabilities: The Group applied the criteria of accounting derecognition of financial assets and liabilities under IFRS 9 prospectively for transactions that occurred after January 1, 2017.

3. Classification and measurement of financial assets: The Group has considered the existing events and circumstances as of January 1, 2017 in its evaluation of whether the financial assets meet the characteristics to be classified as assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value with changes in profit or loss or at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income.

4. Other mandatory exceptions established by IFRS 1 that have not been applied because of not being material to the Group are:

- Hedge accounting

- Non-controlling interests

- Embedded derivatives

- Government loans

The other exceptions established by IFRS 1 have not been applied because of not being material to the Group.

3.4.    RECLASSIFICATIONS

The items recognized under the prior accounting framework, which were reclassified according to the IFRS-based accounting framework and as detailed in point 3.1., are described below.

3.4.1.     Assets

Spot Purchases and Sales Pending Settlement: According to standards that were in effect until December 31, 2017, these transactions were recorded as Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage, respectively. Using the applicable criterion as of the date of closing, a spot purchase transaction pending settlement will call for recording the security to be received in the respective account, with the applicable measurement criterion, while the spot sale pending settlement will call for the derecognition of the security. The currency transactions pending settlement have been reclassified as cash equivalents and those of securities have been included in the respective holdings.

Reverse Repo Transactions: Under the prior accounting framework, a security was recognized in the respective holding and the obligation to deliver it was at the end of the transaction in Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage. The loan granted was recorded in Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage. Under the IFRS-based accounting framework, the financial assets acquired through reverse repo transactions for which the risks and benefits have not been transferred shall be recognized as a loan granted with securities offered as collateral. Therefore, the reclassification between the accounts mentioned above has been made.

Leasehold Improvements: According to the prior accounting framework, leasehold improvements were disclosed under Intangible Assets. According to the IFRS-based accounting framework, leasehold improvements are part of Property, Plant and Equipment.

Equity Investments: As discussed in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.’s Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on August 31, 2017, the shareholders wished to transfer all of the shares. Therefore, according to IFRS 5 this is considered as Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and valued at cost or fair value, whichever lower.

Likewise, Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. are disclosed under Equity Investments, under the prior accounting framework. As mentioned above regarding IFRS 5, it has been reclassified in the same account.

Repurchase of Notes: We have adjusted our own notes held in portfolio disclosed under the prior accounting framework such that, according to the IFRS-based Accounting Framework, an issuer’s repurchase of its own debt has the effect of settling the respective liability.

3.4.2.     Income Statement

Commissions on Origination of Loans and Lending Expenses: According to the prior accounting framework, commissions on structuring were disclosed under Income from Services, and lending expenses were disclosed under Expenses from Services. According to IFRS 9, such commissions are part of the necessary cash flows to calculate the IRR on loans. Accordingly, the respective reclassification has been made to Interest Income.

3.5.    Adjustments by Applying IFRS as of the Date of Transition

As of the date of transition, according to the prior accounting framework, the Group also consolidated Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A.

Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. have been classified as Held for Sale under IFRS 5 since the respective agreements for their transfer have been signed. The effect is disclosed in all the accounts that were consolidated according to the prior accounting framework, as detailed in Note 3.1.

According to IFRS, an investor controls a subsidiary if it is exposed to or is entitled to variable returns due to its involvement in such entity and if it is capable of allocating such returns through its power over the subsidiary. By applying the principle of control under IFRS 10, the Financial Trust Galtrust I and the Financial Trust Saturno Créditos, which were not considered as controlled entities under Argentine Central Bank regulations, have been consolidated.

The following are the adjustments made by applying the IFRS-based accounting framework, which were made to amounts recognized under the prior accounting framework and which are detailed in point 3.1.

(a) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures: Upon applying the equity method, the financial statements of the subsidiaries and of Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. have been used. The shareholders’ equity arising from their financial statements has been adjusted by the effect the application of the IFRS-based accounting framework has had thereon.

Procesadora Regional S.A.		-		-		(55	)
Total		-		184,109		133,049

(b) Property, Plant and Equipment: The value resulting as adjustment arises from adopting fair values as attributed cost, as described in 3.2, net of the related impact on accumulated depreciation.

(c) Intangible Assets: The prior accounting framework allowed including in intangible assets items such as organization and reorganization expenses and other items, the capitalization of which is not allowed according to the IFRS-based accounting framework. Such assets have been derecognized and the amortization generated under the prior accounting framework has been reversed.

(d) Fair Value Debt Securities with Changes to Income: The accounting valuation system of government and private securities set forth by the Argentine Central Bank until December 2017 established, in general, the valuation at fair value for those securities published in the list of volatilities periodically issued by such institution. The securities not included in those lists were measured at acquisition cost plus the IRR.

The adjustment disclosed is that resulting from measuring at fair value with changes in profit or loss the securities classified in this business model.

The Group has classified the following financial assets into this category: holdings in government and private securities, in instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank and in notes; and certain investments in debt securities in financial trusts.

Galicia Valores S.A. has measured the securities classified in this business model at fair value with changes in profit or loss.

(e) Derivative Instruments: The adjustment is that resulting from applying the techniques specified in Notes 2.1 and 4 to the Group’s option portfolio.

(f) Other Financial Assets: The adjustment is related to the consolidation of the financial assets adjusted to the IFRS-based accounting framework of Financial Trust Galtrust I and Financial Trust Saturno Créditos, which do not qualify as controlled entities under the prior accounting framework.

(g) Loans and Other Financing Activities: According to the effective measurement criteria until the convergence to IFRS, loans and other financing activities were recorded at their acquisition cost plus interest accrued based on the contractual rate. In compliance with the provisions set out in IFRS 9, the related adjustment has been made to the measurement at amortized cost.

(h) Other Debt Securities: As described in the preceding paragraph, the adjustment relates to debt securities of financial trusts which have been measured at amortized cost, based on the business model and cash flows from the instrument.

(r) Liabilities Recognized by Insurance Companies: Under the IFRS-based accounting framework, an insurance company will evaluate, at the end of the period reported, the adjustment of insurance liabilities that have been recognized, using the current estimates of future cash flows from insurance contracts. If the evaluation shows that the carrying amount of its liabilities for insurance contracts (less deferred acquisition costs and related intangible assets) is not adequate, considering the estimated future cash flows, the total amount of the inadequacy will be recognized in profit or loss. Under the prior accounting framework, the accounting policies followed by the insurance company do not require performing a test of adjusting liabilities that meets the minimum conditions established by the IFRS-based accounting framework. According to IFRS 4, in this case, the insurance company shall determine the adjustment of the recorded carrying amount according to the guidelines set out in IAS 37.

(s) Liability from Purchase of Minority Interests: As of December 31, 2017, a financial liability has been recognized for the purchase of a 6% interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A. IFRS 32, paragraph 23, sets forth that a commitment to buy treasury shares is to be accounted for as a financial liability for the present value of the selling price. The liability is recognized with its corresponding offsetting entry in equity, since the risks and rewards associated with the shares are retained by the minority shareholders until the actual transfer of such shares. The transaction totaled $924,140 and the amount recognized against other shareholders’ equity reserves was $419,307.

NOTE 4. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

4.1.    Fair Values

The Group classifies the fair values of financial instruments in three levels, according to the quality of data used to determine them.

Fair Value Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly-traded derivatives, notes or available for sale) is based on the quoted prices of markets (unadjusted) as of the date of the reporting period. If the quote price is available and there is an active market for the instrument, it will be included in Level 1.

Fair Value Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, for example, the derivatives available over the counter, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies as little as possible on the Group’s specific estimates. If all the material variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Fair Value Level 3: If one or more material variables are not based on observable market information, the instrument is included in Level 3. This is the case of unquoted equity instruments.

The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value at period-end are as follows:

Instruments Portfolio as of 06.30.18	Fair Value Level 1		Fair Value Level 2		Fair Value Level 3
Assets

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers among fair value levels only as of year-end dates, there being no changes to financial instruments held in portfolio as of December 31, 2017.

Valuation Techniques

Valuation techniques to determine fair values include:

- Market or quoted prices of similar instruments.

- Determining the estimated present value of instruments.

The valuation technique to determine the fair value Level 2 is based on inputs other than the quoted price included in Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability (i.e., prices). For those instruments for which there is no secondary trading, and if positions should be disposed of, the Group should sell to the Argentine Central Bank at the originally agreed-upon rate, as established by the regulatory agency. The price has been prepared based on such rate accrual.

The valuation technique to determine fair value Level 3 of financial instruments is based on the price prepared by curve, which is a method that compares the existing spread between the curve of sovereign bonds and the average hurdle rates of primary issuances, representing the different segments, according to the different risk ratings. If there are no representative primary issuances during the month, the following variants will be used:

(i) secondary market prices of securities under the same conditions, which have been quoted in the month of evaluation;

(ii) prior-month bidding and/or secondary market prices, which will be taken depending on how representative they are;

(iii) spread calculated in the prior month which will be applied to the sovereign curve, according to the reasonableness thereof;

(iv) a specific margin is applied, determined based on historical returns of instruments of similar conditions, based on justified reasons therefor.

As stated above, the rates and spreads are used to discount future cash flows and determine the price of the instrument.

All the changes to valuation methods are previously discussed and approved by the Group’s key personnel.

4.2.    Off-Balance Sheet Items

In the normal course of business and in order to meet customers’ financing needs, off-balance sheet transactions are performed. These instruments expose the Group to the credit risk, in addition to loans recognized in assets. These financial instruments include credit lending commitments, letters of credit reserve, guarantees granted and acceptances.

The same credit policies for agreed credits, guarantees and loan granting are used. Outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent an unusual credit risk.

Agreed Credits

Agreed credits are commitments to grant loans to a customer in a future date, subject to compliance with certain contractual agreements that usually have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses and may require a fee payment.

Commitments are expected to expire without resorting to them. The total amounts of agreed credits do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s solvency is evaluated case by case.

Guarantees Granted

The issuing bank commits to reimbursing the loss to the beneficiary if the secured debtor does not comply with its obligation upon maturity.

Export and Import Documentary Credits

Export and import documentary credits are conditional commitments issued by the Group to secure a customer’s compliance towards a third party.

Responsibilities for Foreign Trade Transactions

Responsibilities for foreign trade transactions are conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.

The Group’s exposure to credit loss upon the other party’s default in the financial instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the same investments.

The credit exposure for these transactions is detailed below.

	06.30.18		12.31.17
Agreed Credits		12,786,424		11,665,185
Export and Import Documentary Credits		1,469,179		1,358,550
Guarantees Granted		7,119,208		2,366,349
Responsibilities for Foreign Trade Transactions		539,107		456,567

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fees and commissions related to the items mentioned above amounted to $2,579 and $19,338 for agreed credits, $10,774 and $40,103 for Export and Import Documentary Credits, and $11,424 and $44,378 for Guarantees Granted.

The credit risk of these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in lending credit facilities to customers.

To grant guarantees to our customers, we may require counter-guarantees, which, classified by type, amount to:

	06.30.18		12.31.17		01.01.17
Other Preferred Guarantees Received		92,583		45,400		60,648
Other Guarantees Received		361,924		319,350		241,575

Additionally, checks to be debited and credited, as well as other elements in the collection process, such as notes, invoices and miscellaneous items, are recorded in memorandum accounts until the related instrument is approved or accepted.

The Group acts as trustee by virtue of trust agreements to secure obligations derived from several agreements between parties. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, trust funds amounted to $9,351,228 and $8,916,957, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, securities held in custody amounted to $420,451,985 and $371,286,397, respectively. These trusts are not included in the consolidation since the Group does not exert control on them.

4.3.    Derivative Instruments

FORWARD PURCHASE-SALE OF FOREIGN CURRENCY WITHOUT DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

Mercado Abierto Electrónico (“MAE”) and Rosario Futures Exchange (“ROFEX”) have trading environments for the closing, recording and settlement of financial forward transactions carried out among its agents, the Bank being one of them. The general settlement mode for these transactions is without delivery of the traded underlying asset. Settlement is carried out on a daily basis, in Pesos, for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income.

The transactions are recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items for the notional value traded. The accrued balances pending settlement are disclosed in the “Derivative Instruments” line of Assets and/or Liabilities, as the case may be.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

Interest rate swap transactions are conducted within the environment created by the MAE, and the settlement thereof is carried out on a daily or monthly basis, in Pesos, for the difference between the cash flows calculated using a variable rate (Badlar for private banks for time deposits of 30 to 35 days) and the cash flows calculated using a fixed rate, or vice versa, on the notional value agreed, the difference in price being charged to income.

The amounts of transactions conducted as of the indicated dates are as follows:

	Underlying Asset		Type of Settlement		06.30.18(*)		12.31.17(*)
Forward Purchase – Sale of Foreign Currency
Purchases		Foreign currency		Daily difference		52,974,562		20,417,503

Related parties are considered to be all those entities that directly, or indirectly through other entities, have control over, are under the same control or may have significant influence on another entity’s financial or operational decisions.

The Group controls another entity when it has the power over such other entities’ financial and operating decisions and also has a share of profits thereof.

Additionally, the Group considers that it has joint control when there is an agreement between parties regarding the control of a common economic activity.

Finally, the Group considers that it has significant influence when it has the capacity to take part in decisions about the company’s financial policy and operations. Those shareholders who hold an equity investment equal to or higher than 20% of the total votes of the Group or its subsidiaries are considered to have significant influence. To determine those situations, not only the legal aspects are observed, but also the nature and substance of the relationship.

Furthermore, the key personnel of the Group’s Management (members of the Board of Directors and Managers of the Group and its subsidiaries), as well as the entities over which the key personnel may have significant influence or control are considered to be related parties.

At the date of these financial statements, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting audits and assessments mainly in respect of 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 Buenos Aires, within the framework of the legal actions brought by the Bank 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 AGIP (Governmental Public Revenue Authority) to refrain from starting tax enforcement proceedings or otherwise requesting precautionary measures for such purpose until a final judgment was issued. On July 5, 2018, Division I of the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters rendered judgment upholding the defenses asserted by the Company. In other words, it found that the Compensatory Bond was exempt from turnover tax, a judgment consistent with case law from the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice in re “Banco de la Nación Argentina v. Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires –AGIP DGR – Resolution No. 389/09 et. seq. over declaratory judgment action” (judgment lodged on June 21, 2018). Should the Government of Buenos Aires fail to file an appeal, the judgment so rendered would become final and all cases resulting from this claim would be closed. To that end, on July 4, 2018, a filing was made with the Office of the Attorney General of the Government of Buenos Aires seeking to definitively settle this issue.

With regard to Buenos Aires’ claims on account of other items, the Bank adhered to the System for the Settlement of Tax Liabilities in Arrears (Law No. 3461 and its 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: (i) unfavorable to the Bank’s request regarding the items not related to the Compensatory Bond, and (ii) favorable with regard to the non-taxability thereof. Therefore, the Bank adhered to the System for the Regularization of Tax Debts (Regulatory Decision No. 12 and related decisions), which envisages discounts on the amounts not related to the Compensatory Bond. The Bank’s adherence to such system was communicated within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities. In turn, the authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires objected to the judgment rendered by the Provincial Tax Court with regard to the Compensatory Bond, and requested the Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters of La Plata to set such decision aside. The Bank entered an appearance and filed a motion for lack of jurisdiction, since it believes only the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice has jurisdiction to render judgment on such a matter. On April 15, 2014, the aforementioned Court sustained the motion for lack of jurisdiction and ordered the proceedings to be filed. The Province of Buenos Aires filed an appeal against this judgment with the Provincial Supreme Court, which found that the case should be submitted to and heard by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice, as it held original jurisdiction. The Argentine Supreme Court of Justice submitted the case file to the Argentine Office of the Attorney General, which found that the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice had original jurisdiction over the matter. To date, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice has not yet rendered judgment as to its jurisdiction, but has recently required that the Province of Buenos Aires assert whether it would continue pursuing its claim or not, in the face of the judgment the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice has already rendered in re “Banco de la Nación Argentina v. Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires – AGIP DGR – Resolution No. 389/09 et. seq. over declaratory judgment action” (judgment lodged on June 21, 2018).

Furthermore, regarding the claims made by the different jurisdictions, the Bank 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 the Bank considers that 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.

b)     Consumer Protection Associations

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against the Bank with regard to the collection of certain financial charges.

The Group believes that the resolution of these controversies will not have a significant impact on its financial condition.

A provision for the deferred tax asset was set as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 amounting to $3,765 and $7,103, respectively, as it is believed that the recovery thereof is not likely as of the date of these financial statements.

In September 2017, the Bank filed with A.F.I.P. both actions for recovery of income tax paid in excess for fiscal years 2014 and 2016, totaling $433,815 and $944,338, respectively. These actions were based on case law that declared unconstitutional certain rules and regulations banning the application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes, with the ensuing confiscatory effects. As of period-end, the Bank has not recorded balances in respect of the contingent assets stemming from the aforementioned actions.

Tax Reform

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive Branch enacted Income Tax Law No. 27430. This law has introduced several changes to the previous income tax treatment. Some of the key changes involved in the reform include:

- Income Tax Rate: The income tax rate for Argentine companies shall be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019, and to 25% for fiscal years commencing on, and including, January 1, 2020.

- Tax on Dividends: The law has introduced a tax on dividends or profits distributed by Argentine companies or permanent establishments, among others, to: individuals, undivided interests or foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following considerations: (i) dividends distributed out of the profits made during fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to withholding at a 7% rate; and (ii) dividends distributed out of the profits made during fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2020 onwards shall be subject to withholding at a 13% rate.

Dividends distributed from profits earned until the fiscal year before that commenced on January 1, 2018 shall remain subject, in respect of all beneficiaries, to withholding at the 35% rate on the amount in excess of tax-free distributable accumulated profits (equalization tax transition period).

- Optional Tax Revaluation: Regulations establish that, at the companies’ option, the tax revaluation of assets located in the country and that are used for generating taxable income may be made. The special tax on the revaluation amount depends on the asset: 8% is for real estate that does not qualify as inventories, 15% for real estate that qualifies as inventories and 10% for personal property and the remaining assets. Once the option for a given asset is exercised, all the other assets of the same category should be revalued. Taxable income resulting from the revaluation is not subject to income tax and the special tax on the revaluation amount will not be deductible from such tax.

NOTE 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK

10.1.    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 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. Such limit is currently set at $450.

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 the Bank, either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the Argentine Central Bank.

Deposits acquired through endorsement, placements made as a result of incentives other than interest rates and locked-up balances from deposits and other excluded transactions are also excluded. This system has been implemented through the creation of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“FGD”), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (“SEDESA”). The shareholders of SEDESA 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.

The monthly contribution institutions should make to the FGD is 0.015% on the monthly average of total deposits.

10.6. PENALTIES IMPOSED ON THE BANK AND SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS COMMENCED BY THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK

Penalties Imposed on the Bank Existing as of June 30, 2018:

Argentine Central Bank’s Financial Summary Proceedings No. 1308 Penalty notification date: October 28, 2013. Reason for the imposition of the penalty: Alleged non-compliance with the regulations on prevention of money laundering, due to lack of files and of customers’ awareness. Consequently, the members of the Bank’s Board of Directors then-effective were punished with a fine amounting to $1,353. Status of the pending proceedings: On March 27, 2018, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice (“CSJN,” as per its initials in Spanish) declared inadmissible (Section 280 of the National Code of Civil and Commercial Procedures) the extraordinary appeal filed against the judgment passed by the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters, which, in turn, had dismissed the appeal filed by the damaged parties against the penalties applied. Therefore, the penalty applied became firm. Accounting treatment: Fines were paid in full and charged to income for the corresponding fiscal year.

U.I.F.’s Summary Proceedings No. 68/09. Penalty notification date: February 25, 2010.

Status of the proceedings: Division I of the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters partially revoked the penalties, releasing Eduardo A. Fanciulli from any liability and reducing the fines imposed. The U.I.F., the Bank and Mr. Enrique M. Garda Olaciregui filed federal extraordinary appeals before the CSJN. Accounting treatment: As of June 30, 2018, a provision for $5,306 is recorded, whereas a provision for $4,983 and $5,500 was recorded as of December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively.

10.8. RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, the Company should transfer 5% of the net income for the year to the Legal Reserve until 20% of the capital stock is reached.

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. Should the Legal Reserve be used to absorb losses, earnings shall be distributed only if the value of the Legal Reserve reaches 20% of the Capital Stock plus the Capital Adjustment.

The Argentine Central Bank sets rules for the conditions under which financial institutions can make distributions of profits. According to these rules, profits can be distributed as long as results of operations are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, which may be legally and statutory required, but also the following items from Retained Income: The difference between the carrying amount 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 Retained Income 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.

Since January 2016, the Argentine Central Bank determined that banks shall meet an additional capital conservation buffer apart from the minimum capital requirement equal to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets. This shall be made up only of Tier 1 Common Capital, net of deductible items. Distribution of profits shall be restricted when the Bank’s computable regulatory capital level and structure is within the range of the capital conservation buffer.

The prior authorization of the Argentine Regulatory Agency of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions (“SEFyC,” as per its initials in Spanish) shall not be required for the distribution of profits, except in the cases where a financial institution is within the capital conservation buffer and to determine distributable profits the Tier 1 common capital range had not been increased by 1 percentage point, net of deductible items. Such restriction was established until March 31, 2020.

The shareholders at 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 the Class XXXVII Notes, 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 event of any excess over certain indebtedness ratios.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, profits resulting from the first-time application of IFRS may not be distributed; instead, such profits, if any, will be appropriated to a special reserve recorded under equity which might only be released for capitalization purposes, or otherwise to offset potential losses.

10.9. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY POLICY

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

The Company’s Board of Directors is its highest management body. It is made up of nine directors and three alternate directors, who must have the necessary knowledge and skills to clearly understand their responsibilities and duties within the corporate governance, and to act with the loyalty and diligence of a good businessman.

As set out in its 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 the 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 respect, with the recommendations included in the Code on Corporate Governance as Schedule IV to Title IV of the regulations issued by the National Securities Commission (Text amended in 2013).

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 independent directors, and the Committee for Information Integrity’s mission is to comply with the provisions of U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which as well gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

Basic Holding Structure

The Company is a company whose sole purpose is to conduct financial and investment activities as per Section 31 of the General Corporations Law. That is to say, it is a holding company whose activity involves managing its equity investments, assets and resources.

Within the group of companies in which the Company has an interest, the Bank, in which the Company has a controlling interest and which is the Company’s main asset, stands out. The Bank, as a bank institution, is subject to certain regulatory restrictions imposed by the Argentine Central Bank. In particular, the Bank 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, the Company holds, either directly or indirectly, the remaining interests in several companies. In addition, the Company indirectly holds a number of equity investments in supplementary companies that belong to the Bank as the controlling company.

Since the Company is a holding company, it has a limited personnel structure, and, therefore, many of the business organization requirements, common for big productive institutions, cannot be applied to this company.

To conclude, it is noteworthy that the Company is under the control of a pure holding company, EBA Holding S.A., which has the number of votes necessary to hold the majority of votes at the Shareholders’ Meetings, although it does not have any managerial functions over the Company and the Company has no group relationship with EBA Holding S.A.

Directors’ compensation is determined by the shareholders at 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 the market standards.

Business Conduct Policy

The Company has consistently 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.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a formally-approved Code of Ethics that guides its policies and activities. It considers business objectivity and conflict-of-interests related-aspects, and how the employee should act upon identifying a breach of the Code of Ethics.

Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.

The Bank’s Board of Directors is the Company’s highest management body. As of the date of preparation of these consolidated condensed interim financial statements, it is currently made up of seven directors and four alternate directors, who have the necessary knowledge and skills to clearly understand their responsibilities and duties within the corporate governance, and act with the loyalty and diligence of a good businessman.

The Bank 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 from three to nine directors to the possible changes in the conditions in which the Bank carries out its activities.

The shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting have the power to establish the number of directors, both independent and non-independent, and to appoint them. Out of the seven directors, two are independent. In addition, one of the alternate directors is independent. The independence concept is defined in the regulations set forth by the C.N.V. and the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

With regard to prevention of conflicts of interest, the provisions set forth in the General Corporations Law and the Capital Markets Law are applicable.

As set out in the bylaws, the term of office for both directors and alternate directors is three years; two thirds (or a fraction of at least three) are changed every year and may be reelected indefinitely.

The Board of Directors’ meeting is held at least once a week and when required by any director. The Board of Directors is responsible for the Bank’s general management and makes all the necessary decisions to such end. The Board of Directors’ members also take part, to a greater or lesser extent, in the commissions and committees created. Therefore, they are continuously informed about the Bank’s course of business and become aware of the decisions made by such bodies, which are transcribed into minutes.

Additionally, the Board of Directors receives a monthly report prepared by the General Manager, the purpose of which is to report the material issues and events addressed at the different meetings held between the General Manager and Senior Management. The Board of Directors becomes aware of such reports, as evidenced in the minutes.

In connection with directors’ training and development, the Bank has a program, which is reviewed every six months, whereby they regularly attend courses and seminars of different kinds and subjects.

The Bank’s executive officers, including directors, have proven, updated knowledge and skills; and the Board of Directors performs its duties in the most effective manner in line with the current dynamics of such a Board.

The Bank’s majority shareholder is the Company, which has full control of its shares and votes.

In turn, the Bank holds equity investments in supplementary companies as the controlling company, as well as minority interests in companies whose controlling company is its own controlling company. From a business point of view, this structure allows the Bank to take advantage of significant synergies that guarantee the loyalty of its customers and additional businesses. All business relationships with these companies, whether permanent or occasional in nature, are fostered under the normal and usual market conditions, whether the Bank holds a majority or minority interest. The Company’s Board of Directors submits to the Shareholders’ Meeting’s vote, which shall be the Company’s vote in its capacity as controlling company at the Bank’s Shareholders’ Meeting. The same method of transparency and information as to its controlled companies and the companies it owns a stake in is applied at the Bank’s Shareholders’ Meetings, which are always attended by directors and officers thereof. The Board of Directors always provides detailed information about the Company’s activities.

Business Conduct Policy and/or Code of Ethics

The Bank has a formally approved Code of Ethics that guides its policies and activities. It considers business objectivity and conflict of interest related aspects, and how an employee should act upon identifying a breach of the Code of Ethics, with the involvement of the Conduct Committee.

Information Related to Personnel Economic Incentive Practices

The Human Resources and Governance Committee, composed of two (2) Directors, the General Manager and the Organizational Development and Human Resources Division Manager, is in charge of establishing the compensation policy for Bank’s personnel.

It is the policy of Bank to manage the full compensation of its personnel based on principles of fairness, meritocracy and justice, within the framework of the legal regulations in force.

The aim of this policy is to provide an objective and fair basis, through the design and implementation of tools for the management of the fixed and variable compensation paid to each employee, based on the scope and complexity of each position’s responsibilities, individual performance with regard to compliance thereof, contribution to the Bank’s results and conformity to market values, with the purpose of:

- Attracting and creating loyalty with regard to quality personnel suitable for the achievement of the business strategy and goals.

- Being an individual motivation means.

- Easing the decentralized management of compensation administration.

- Allowing the effective budget control of personnel costs.

- Guaranteeing internal fairness.

In order to monitor and guarantee both external and internal fairness with regard to the payment of fixed and variable compensation, the Compensation area uses, and puts at the disposal of the Senior Management and the Human Resources Committee, market surveys published by consulting firms specialized in compensation issues, pursuant to the market positioning policies defined by the management division for the different corporate levels.

With the purpose of gearing individuals towards the achievement of attainable results that contribute to the global performance of the Bank/area, and to the increase in motivation for the common attainment of goals, differentiating individual contribution, the Bank has different variable compensation systems:

1) Business Incentives and/or Incentives through commissions system for business areas.

2) Annual Bonus Systems for management level employees, officers and the rest of the employees who are not included in the business incentives system. The annual bonus is determined based on individual performance and the Bank’s results, and is paid in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. To determine the variable compensation for the Senior Management and Middle Management, the Bank uses the Management Performance Assessment System. This system has been designed including both qualitative and quantitative KPI (Key Performance Indicators). In particular, quantitative Key Performance Indicators are designed with respect to at least three minimum aspects:

a) Results.

b) Business volume or size.

c) Projections: Indicators that protect the business for the future (For example: Quality, internal and external customer satisfaction, risk coverage, work environment, etc.).

The significance or impact of each of them is monitored and adjusted yearly pursuant to the strategy approved by the Board of Directors.

The interaction among these three aspects seeks to make incentives related to results and growth consistent with the risk thresholds determined by the Board of Directors. In turn, there is no deferred payment of variable compensation subject to the occurrence of future events or in the long term, taking into consideration that the business environment in the Argentine financial system is characterized by being mainly transactional, with lending and borrowing transactions with a very short seasoning term.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

The following information as of December 31, 2017 has been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank and is required to understand these consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

1. CASH AND BANK DEPOSITS

Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term payment commitments, rather than for investment or similar purposes. In order for a financial investment to be classified as a cash equivalent, it should be readily convertible into a certain amount of cash and it should bear an immaterial risk of change in value. Accordingly, an investment will be classified as a cash equivalent if it matures within three months or less from the acquisition date. Equity interests are excluded from cash equivalents.

The table below shows a breakdown of items comprising cash and cash equivalents:

	12.31.17		01.01.17

Provisions for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and January 1, 2017, amounting to $7,103 and $150,171, respectively, were included, as it is believed that the recovery thereof is not likely as of the date of these financial statements.

In September 2017, the Bank filed certain actions for recovery of income tax paid in excess for the fiscal years 2014 and 2016, totaling $433,815 and $944,338, respectively, with A.F.I.P. These actions were grounded in case law that declared unconstitutional certain rules and regulations banning the application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes, with the ensuing confiscatory effects. As of period-end, the Bank has not recorded balances in respect of the contingent assets stemming from the aforementioned actions.

Tax Reform

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive Branch enacted Income Tax Law No. 27430. This law introduced several changes to the previous income tax treatment. Some of the key changes established by the reform include:

- Income Tax Rate: The income tax rate for Argentine companies shall be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019, and to 25% for the fiscal years commencing on, and including, January 1, 2020.

- Tax on Dividends: The law has introduced a tax on dividends or profits distributed by Argentine companies or permanent establishments, among others, to individuals, undivided interests or foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following considerations: (i) dividends distributed out of the profits made during the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to withholding at a 7% rate; and (ii) dividends distributed out of the profits made during the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2020 onwards shall be subject to withholding at a 13% rate.

Dividends distributed from profits earned until the fiscal year before that commenced on January 1, 2018 shall remain subject, in respect of all beneficiaries, to withholding at the 35% rate on the amount in excess of tax-free distributable accumulated profits (equalization tax transition period).

- Optional Tax Revaluation: Regulations establish that, at the companies’ option, assets that are located in the country and used for generating taxable income may be subject to tax revaluation. The special tax on the revaluation amount depends on the asset: 8% for real estate that does not qualify as inventory, 15% for real estate that qualifies as inventory, and 10% for personal property and remaining assets. Once the option for a given asset is exercised, all other assets of the same category should be revalued. Taxable income resulting from the revaluation is not subject to income tax and the special tax on the revaluation amount will not be deductible from such tax.

19. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group determines segments based on management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Directors and updated to reflect changes.

Reportable segments are made up of one or more operating segments with similar economic characteristics, distribution channels and regulatory environments.

STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

20.        DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

Dividends paid in fiscal year 2017 to the Group’s shareholders amounted to $240,000, accounting for $0.18 (figure stated in Pesos) per share.

21.        CORPORATE RISKS AND GOVERNANCE

The tasks related to risk information and internal control of each of the companies controlled by the Company are defined and carried out rigorously.

Apart from applicable local regulations, the Company, in its capacity as a listed company in the United States of America, complies with the certification of its internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (“Sarbanes Oxley”). Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which also gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

With regard to risk, the Bank embraces a policy that takes into consideration several aspects of the business and operations, abiding by the main guidelines of internationally accepted standards.

From this approach, the Bank defines its internal structure, functions and roles by hierarchical levels and invests resources in monitoring and streamlining risk management, with independence of duties as it reports to the General Manager.

The specific function of the comprehensive management of the Bank’s risks has been allocated to the Risk Division, guaranteeing its independence from the rest of the business areas since the Risk Division directly reports to the Bank’s General Division and, at the same time, is involved in the decisions made by each area. In addition, the control and prevention of risks related to asset laundering, funding of terrorist activities and other illegal activities is allocated to the Prevention of Asset Laundering Division, which reports to the Board of Directors. The aim of both divisions is to guarantee the Board of Directors is fully aware of the risks that the Bank is exposed to, and to design and propose policies and procedures necessary to identify, assess, follow up, control and mitigate such risks.

The Bank has developed the Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“Proceso de Evaluación de Suficiencia de Capital – PESC,” reflected in the Capital Adequacy Report, “IAC,” as per its acronym in Spanish) to assess the relationship between the Bank’s own resources available and necessary resources to maintain an appropriate risk profile. This process shall also allow for the identification of both economic capital needs and the sources to meet such needs.

The minimum capital requirement with regard to each risk is determined according to the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

In addition, the Bank has specified a risk appetite framework, which has risk acceptance levels, both on an individual and a consolidated basis. Within this framework, metrics have been established —calculated based on current and stress ratios—which are monitored in order to detect situations that may affect the normal course of business, the noncompliance with the strategy and undesired results and/or situations of vulnerability in the face of changes in market conditions. The Risk and Capital Allocation Committee considers and controls the Bank’s risk profile through a risk appetite report, and defines the actions to be carried out in case of potential deviations from the thresholds set.

Financial Risk Factors

Short- and medium-term financial risks are managed within the framework of policies approved by the Board of Directors, which establishes limits to different risk exposures and also considers their interrelation. Management is supplemented by “contingency plans” devised to face adverse market situations.

Furthermore, “stress tests” that make it possible to assess risk exposure under historical and simulated scenarios are created, which identify critical levels of the different risk factors.

a) Credit Risk:

The Bank uses credit assessment and risk monitoring tools to allow its management on a prompt and controlled basis to control its level of exposure to potential risks and encourages a proper portfolio diversification, both in individual terms and by economic sector.

Strategically, the Bank has decided to deepen its customers’ knowledge expressed in a specific policy, which allows for providing credit assistance to customers according to their financing needs and based on their evaluated attributes, purposes and perspectives.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

The Bank’s credit granting and analysis system is applied in a centralized manner and is based on the concept of “opposition of interests,” with specific duties concerning risk, credit, and commercial management for the several business areas.

This allows for an ongoing and efficient monitoring of the quality of assets, an early management of problem loans, aggressive write-offs of uncollectible loans, and a conservative policy on allowances for loan losses.

The credit quality of Government Securities, Private Securities and Lebacs is shown as follows, while the credit quality of loans granted is detailed in Schedule B.

Impairment of Financial Instruments

The Group accounts for Loans according to the type of loan portfolio, by performing an individual analysis of each customer within the “Commercial Loan Portfolio” or “Consumer Comparable Loan Portfolio” and a massive analysis based on days in arrears for customers within the “Consumer Loan Portfolio.” The criteria followed by the Group in setting up allowances are detailed in Note 1.

Loans classified as uncollectible for 7 months are eliminated from the Group’s assets and are recognized in off-balance sheet items.

STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

The impact of allowances on net income (loss) as of the dates indicated below is detailed below:

	12.31.17		01.01.17
Allowances for Consumer Loan Portfolio		3,254,499		2,264,529
Allowances for Commercial Loan and Comparable Loan Portfolio		519,217		251,284
Total		3,773,716		2,515,813

According to the guidelines followed by the Group to set up allowances, loans to the financial sector and performing liabilities should not result in impairment losses.

b) Market Risk:

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

The “price risk” (market) is managed on a daily basis according to the approved strategy, the purpose of which is to keep the Bank present in the different derivatives, variable- and fixed-income markets, while obtaining the maximum possible return on trading, without exposing the latter to excessive risk levels. Finally, the designed policy 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. This model determines for the Bank, individually, the possible loss that could be generated by the positions in securities, derivative instruments and currencies under the following parameters.

99% Confidence Level: Holding period as per the depth of market at each time and estimated volatility based on the history of the last 252 sessions.

The following table shows a sensitivity analysis of income (loss) and shareholders’ equity to reasonable changes in the preceding exchange rates relative to the Group’s functional currency.

In 2017, the Group assigned a holding period to each instrument based on depth of market (previously, the time horizon was 10 sessions for the entire trading activities).

The Group’s exposure to the foreign exchange risk as of year-end by type of currency is shown below:

c)    Interest Rate Risk

The Bank’s exposure to “interest rate risk,” as a result of interest rate fluctuations and the different sensitivity of assets and liabilities, is managed according to the approved strategy. 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 present value of the Bank’s shareholders’ equity in the face of changes in interest rates.

From a comprehensive viewpoint of risk exposure 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, in using up the capital.

The Group’s exposure to the interest rate risk is detailed below. This table shows the residual value of assets and liabilities, classified by the sooner of the interest renegotiation date or the maturity date.

Assets and Liabilities at Variable	Term (in Days)										Total
Rate	Up to 30		30 to 90		90 to 180		180 to 365		Over 365
As of 01.01.17

The table below shows the sensitivity to potential additional changes in interest rates in the next fiscal year, taking into account the breakdown as of December 31, 2017. The percentage change budgeted by the Group for the 2017 fiscal year was determined considering 100 bps and changes that are considered reasonably possible on the basis on an observation of market conditions:

	Additional Changes to the     Interest Rate	Increase/(Decrease) in Income   before Income Tax in Pesos			Increase/(Decrease) in   Shareholders’ Equity in Pesos
Decrease in Interest Rate	-100 bps		17,862		+0.1%
Increase in Interest Rate	+100 bps		(17,862	)	-0.1%

d) Liquidity Risk

Daily liquidity is managed according to the set strategy, which seeks to keep adequate liquid resources 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 of a) liquidity as it relates to stock, for which a level of “Management Liquidity Requirement” was established as the excess over legal minimum cash requirements, taking into consideration the characteristics and behavior of the Group’s different liabilities, and the liquid assets that make up such liquidity; 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.

STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

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

With the purpose of mitigating the liquidity risk that arises from deposit concentration per customer, the Bank has a policy that regulates the concentration of deposits among the main customers.

22.      CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group has the following goals concerning capital management:

- Complying with the requirements set forth by the Argentine Central Bank in Communiqué “A” 6260, as amended;

- Supporting the Bank’s operations to prevent potential situations that may endanger its operations.

The Bank’s senior management is responsible for monitoring, overseeing, adjusting and ensuring compliance with its stated goals concerning capital management.

According to the guidelines set out by the Argentine Central Bank, financial institutions are required to maintain capital ratios to mitigate the associated risks. As of December 31, 2017, the Bank complied with the minimum capital requirement established by the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

Computable Regulatory Capital (“R.P.C.,” as per the initials in Spanish) is made up of Core Capital and Supplementary Capital. The balances of such items as of December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Financial Risks

Short- and medium-term financial risks are managed within the framework of policies approved by the Board of Directors, which establishes limits to the different risk exposures and also considers their interrelation. Management is supplemented by “contingency plans” devised to face adverse market situations. Furthermore, “stress tests” that make it possible to assess risk exposure under historical and simulated scenarios are created, which identify critical levels of the different risk factors.

Cross Border Risk

The Group’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 the Bank’s business and financial strategy, the purpose of which is to provide customers with 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 the Bank’s business and growth.

Exposure to the Non-financial Public Sector

With the purpose of regulating risk exposure with regard to the non-financial public sector, the Bank defined a policy which by design envisages risk exposure in the national, provincial and municipal jurisdictions, and set limits on direct and total assistance for each of those jurisdictions.

Operational and IT Risk

In line with best practices and the guidelines set out by the Argentine Central Bank, the Bank has a management framework in place that embraces policies, practices, procedures and structures for the appropriate management of this risk. 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 external events. It includes legal risk, but does not include strategic and reputational risks.

The Bank manages the operational and IT risks inherent to its products, activities and business processes. It also manages the risk associated with the material information systems, technology and information security processes. IT risk is the business risk associated with the use, ownership, operation, involvement, influence and/or adoption of IT solutions at the Bank. To this end, business, IT and information security processes are reviewed. Finally, the Bank manages risks derived from subcontracted activities and from services rendered by providers.

Furthermore, before launching or introducing new products, activities, processes or systems, their associated risks are properly assessed.

This way, the Bank has the necessary structure and resources to be able to determine the operational and IT risk profile and thus take the corresponding corrective measures, complying with the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank on guidelines for operational and IT risk management in financial institutions and operational risk events databases.

An appropriate management of operational and IT risks also helps improve our customer service quality.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

In compliance with Communiqué “A” 5398, securitization, concentration, reputational and strategic risks were identified as significant risks, and a computation and measurement method was developed. These risks, together with those mentioned previously, were included in the Capital Adequacy Assessment Report (“I.A.C.,” as per its acronym in Spanish), within the framework of Communiqué “A” 5515.

Securitization Risk

Securitization is an alternative source of financing and a mechanism for the transfer of risks to investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, securitization activities and fast innovation with regard to the techniques and instruments used in such activities also generate new risks, including the following:

i. Credit, market, liquidity, concentration, legal and reputational risks, due to the securitization positions held or invested, including, among others, liquidity facilities and credit enhancements granted; and

ii. Credit risk due to the underlying exposures with regard to securitization.

Concentration Risk

Risk concentration has to do with the exposure or groups of exposures with similar characteristics, for instance when they belong to the same debtor, business, product or economic sector, with the possibility of generating:

i. Losses with regard to income, regulatory capital, assets or the global risk level, that are significant enough to affect the financial strength of the financial institution or its ability to keep the financial institution’s main transactions;

ii. A major change in the Bank’s risk profile.

Reputational Risk

Reputational risk is defined as the risk associated with a negative perception of the financial institution by customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors, account holders, market analysts and other significant market players, which adversely affects the financial institution’s ability to keep existing business relationships or establish new relationships, and continue having access to funding sources such as the interbank market or the securitization market.

Strategic Risk

Strategic risk is that which arises from an inappropriate business strategy or an adverse change in forecasts, parameters, goals and other functions that support such strategy. Even though estimating this risk is complex, institutions must develop new management techniques that include all the related aspects.

Asset Laundering Risk

As regards the control and prevention of asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities, the Bank complies with the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit and Law No. 25246, as amended, which creates the Financial Information Unit (“U.I.F.”), within the purview of Argentina’s Ministry of Treasury and Public Finance with functional autarchy. The Financial Information Unit is in charge of analyzing, addressing and reporting the information received, in order to prevent and avoid both asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities.

The Bank has promoted the implementation of measures designed to fight against the use of the international financial system by criminal organizations. For such purposes, the Bank has control policies, procedures and structures that are applied using a “risk-based approach,” which allow for the monitoring of transactions, pursuant to the “customer profile” (defined individually based on the information and documentation related to the economic and financial condition of the customer), in order to detect such transactions that should be considered unusual, and to report them to the U.I.F. in applicable cases. The Anti-Money Laundering Management Division (“PLA,” as per its initials in Spanish) 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.

The Bank has appointed a director as compliance officer, pursuant to Resolution 121/11, as amended, handed down by the U.I.F., who shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with and implementation of the proceedings and obligations on the issue.

The Company’s purpose is to strengthen its position as a leading company devoted to providing comprehensive financial services and, at the same time, to continue to strengthen the Bank’s position as one of the leading companies in Argentina. This strategy shall be carried out by supplementing the operations and business conducted by the Bank through equity investments in companies and undertakings, either existing or to be created, engaged in financial activities as they are understood in the modern economy.

The income for the period ended June 30, 2018 amounted to $3,008,710. This income has been generated mainly as a consequence of the valuation of equity investments in the Company’s subsidiaries.

At the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on August 15, 2017, the shareholders decided to approve an increase the Company’s capital stock by means of the issuance of up to 150,000,000 ordinary book-entry Class “B” shares, entitled to one vote per share and with a face value of $1 each and also entitled to dividends on an equal footing with such ordinary book-entry shares outstanding at the time of the issuance, to be offered for public subscription in the country and/or abroad.

On September 26, 2017, once the offering term had elapsed, 109,999,996 new class “B” shares with a face value of $1 and one vote per share were placed, for a subscription price of US $5 (five U.S. Dollars) each.

On September 28, 2017, the capital increase from the primary subscription was fully paid for an aggregate amount of US $549,999.

On October 2, 2017, the international placement agents enforced their over-subscription rights, subscribing 16,500,004 ordinary class “B” shares with a face value of $1 and one vote per share, for a subscription price of US $5 (five U.S. Dollars) each. Payment of the aforementioned over-subscription was made on October 4, 2017, with the Company having received US $82,500. (See Note 16. to the financial statements).

In August 2017, the Company accepted the irrevocable offers to sell, accounting for 6% of Tarjetas Regionales S.A.’s issued and outstanding shares, for a total price of US $49,000.

The General Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company held on December 14, 2017, the shareholders approved the corporate reorganization process consisting of splitting a portion of the Bank’s shareholders’ equity made up of its shares held in Tarjetas Regionales S.A. representing 77% of its capital stock for its later inclusion in the Bank’s shareholders’ equity, effective as of January 1, 2018. The final spin-off/merger agreement was signed on January 23, 2018.

The Company, in its capacity as single shareholder and holder of 100% of the Bank’s capital stock, on December 27, 2017, paid the capital contribution with LEBAC (Argentine Central Bank’s bills), I17E8 security, for a face value of 10,168,285,119, which was valued at market price, based on the trading price of $0.98345 as of December 26, 2017 per M.A.E.’s session, totaling $10,000,000. The Argentine Central Bank, through Resolution No. 35 dated January 11, 2018, authorized the capital contribution.

The sale of shares of Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. took place on February 2, 2018, establishing a total price of $30,771.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS

BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES S.A.

Founded in 1905, the Bank is one of the largest private-sector banks in the Argentine financial system, and one of the leading providers of financial services in the country.

As a universal bank with a variety of distribution channels, the Bank offers a full spectrum of financial services to customers, both individual and corporate. The Bank also operates one of the most extensive and diversified distribution networks of the Argentine private financial sector, offering 308 branches.

In comparing the consolidated results of operations for the first quarter of 2018 to the same period the previous year, consideration should be given to the fact that the Company and the Bank entered into a spin-off/merger agreement, pursuant to which the Bank split from its shareholders’ equity its 77% interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A. for its later inclusion in the Company’s shareholders’ equity, effective as of January 1, 2018. Accordingly, the income statement as of June 30, 2017 unconsolidated with Tarjetas Regionales S.A. was also included for increased consistency in analyzing the changes.

During the first half of 2018, the Bank recorded net income in the amount of $3,924,386, $570,629 higher than that recorded during the first half of the previous fiscal year, representing a 17% increase. The increase in income as compared to the first half of 2017 mainly resulted from an increase of $5,751,835 in net operating income (net income from interest plus net commission income, plus other financial income, plus other operating income, less loan loss provisions). This increase was mainly offset by increases in: i) employee benefits and administrative expenses in the amount of $2,007,045, and ii) other operating expenses in the amount of $1,625,251. Net operating income for the 2018 fiscal year amounted to $18,250,013, a 46.7% increase as compared to the $12,528,502 recorded in the previous fiscal year. This increase in net operating income was due to an increase in net income from: i) net income from interest (amounting to $8,712,612, or 47.5%), as a result of the increase in the volumes traded during the period, in addition to an increase in the financial margin; ii) net commission income (amounting to $4,579,244, or 26.0%), which was mostly due to increases in commissions on credit cards and deposit accounts. Administrative expenses totaled $8,104,953, representing a 32.9% increase. Loan loss provisions amounted to $2,424,498, a 96.1% increase from those recorded in the previous fiscal year, mainly as a result of the increase in arrears related to the individuals’ portfolio and higher regulatory charges on the regular portfolio as a result of the increase in the volume of receivables.

Total loans to the private sector amounted to $245,231,694, representing a 66.5% increase during the last twelve months, and total deposits reached $261,270,386, growing 66.8% as compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank’s estimated share in loans to the private sector was 10.01%, while its estimated share in deposits from the private sector was 8.17%, compared to 9.88% and 7.61%, respectively, for the same period of the previous fiscal year.

SUDAMERICANA HOLDING S.A.

Sudamericana Holding S.A. is a holding company providing life, retirement, property, and casualty insurance and insurance brokerage services. The equity investment held by the Company in Sudamericana Holding S.A. is 87.50%. The Bank has holds the remaining 12.50%.

This investment represents another step forward in the Company’s plan to consolidate its leadership as a financial services provider.

Joint production of the insurance companies controlled by Sudamericana Holding S.A. in the life, retirement and property insurance business amounted to $887,964 during the period commenced on January 1, 2018 and ended on June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, these companies had approximately 3 million policies/certificates in their insurance lines.

From a commercial standpoint, within a more favorable context, the company maintains its purpose of taking advantage of the greater demand for insurance coverage to significantly increase sales.

As a result of this effort, the premium volume for the first quarter of 2018 exceeded that for the same period of the previous year by 14.30%.

OUTLOOK

During the second quarter of 2018, two major factors affected international markets: i) the commercial tension between the US and its main partners (China, European Union, Canada and Mexico) and ii) the monetary policy of the main central banks around the world and, in particular, the increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve of the reference rate by 25 basis points (“b.p.”), resulting in a reference rate of 1.75 - 2.00%—a situation that was discounted by the market.

In this environment, Argentina has already covered more than 80% of its financing needs for the current year. From the foreign exchange standpoint, such flows were mainly derived from financial issuances. In addition, monetary policy recovered in part, mainly through interest rate levels and monetary regulations. In this regard, we expect to maintain certain contractionary policy trends until there is a disinflation path aligned with the Argentine Central Bank’s goals. As regards tax matters, we expect to achieved our goals set for 2018 again.

In the short term, as a result of a drought that affected agricultural production, coupled with volatility in the exchange rate and an acceleration in inflation, a moderate contraction in activity levels is expected. A slight recovery is expected in 2019, propped up by increases in exports and investment.

Within this context, the Group will continue to pursue its goal of strengthening its leading position within the market. The Group’s main focus will continue to be on the quality of products and services provided to current and future customers, and the continuing improvement of operational efficiency as a key factor in generating value for customers and shareholders.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED ON JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($), Except as Otherwise Stated

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS FOR PREPARATION

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (the “Company”) was constituted on September 14, 1999, as a financial services holding company organized under the laws of Argentina. The Company’s main asset is its interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (the “Bank”). The Bank is a private-sector bank that offers a full spectrum of financial services both to individual and corporate customers. In addition, the Company has a controlling interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A., which maintains investments related to the issuance of credit cards and supplementary services; Sudamericana Holding S.A., a company engaged in the insurance business; Galicia Administradora de Fondos S.A., a mutual fund manager, and Galicia Warrants S.A., a company engaged in the issuance of warrants.

These separate condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for publication through Minutes of Board of Directors’ Meeting No. 570 dated August 16, 2018.

1.1. ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

In light of the fact that the Group is subject to the provisions of Article 2 – Section I – Chapter I of Title IV: Periodical Reporting Requirements of the National Securities Commission (“C.N.V.”) regulations, it is required to present its financial statements in accordance with the valuation and disclosure criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank. As required by the aforementioned article, we hereby report that:

- the Company’s corporate purpose is exclusively related to financial and investment activities;

- the equity investments in the Bank and Tarjetas Regionales S.A., the latter being subject to the consolidated supervision requirements laid down by the Argentine Central Bank (Communiqué “A” 2989, as supplemented), account for 94.76% of the Company’s assets and are the Company’s main asset;

- 89.65% of the Company’s income is derived from its share of profit in the entities referred to in the preceding paragraph; and

- the Company has a 100% equity interest in the Bank and an 83% equity interest in Tarjetas Regionales S.A., thus having control over both entities.

The Argentine Central Bank, through Communiqué “A” 5541, as amended, set forth a convergence plan towards the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), addressed to entities under the Argentine Central Bank’s supervision, effective for fiscal years commenced January 1, 2018, except for item 5.5 (Impairment) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments,” which has been temporarily waived until January 1, 2020, at which time entities will be required to apply the provisions on “Impairment of Financial Assets.”

Entities are also required to prepare their opening financial statements since January 1, 2017, which will serve as a comparative basis to the financial statements commencing on January 1, 2018, with the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2018 being the first interim financial statements in being prepared under these standards.

The Company’s separate condensed interim financial statements for the six month period then ended have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.” The separate condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the criteria the Company expects to adopt in preparing its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

Comparative figures and figures as of the transition date (January 1, 2017) have been modified to reflect the adjustments to the aforementioned accounting framework.

Note 3 presents a reconciliation of the figures disclosed in the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of other comprehensive income comprising the consolidated condensed interim financial statements issued under the previous accounting framework to the figures disclosed according to the IFRS-based accounting framework in these separate condensed interim financial statements, as well as the effects of adjustments to cash flows as of the transition date (January 1, 2017), as of the adoption date (December 31, 2017) and as of the end of the comparative period (June 30, 2017).

These separate condensed interim financial statements should be read together with the Company’s annual financial statements as of December 31, 2017, prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set out by the Argentine Central Bank. Furthermore, the Note entitled “Additional Information as of December 31, 2017 for the Separate Condensed Interim Financial Statements,” included in these financial statements contains certain information under the IFRS-based accounting framework which is required to understand the consolidated condensed interim financial statements.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($), Except as Otherwise Stated

It has been concluded that these separate condensed interim financial statements fairly present the Group’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

1.2. BASIS FOR PREPARATION

These separate condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank described in Note 2.

In preparing these separate condensed interim financial statements, the Group is required to make estimates and assessments affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed as of the date of these separate condensed interim financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses.

(a) Going Concern

As of the date of these separate condensed interim financial statements, there are no uncertainties as to developments or circumstances that may call into question the likelihood that the Company will continue operating normally as a going concern.

(b) Measurement Unit

The Group’s consolidated condensed interim financial statements reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency until February 28, 2003, the date on which the adjustment for inflation was discontinued, as required by Decree No. 664/03 of the Argentine National Executive Branch, Section 268 of General Resolution No. 7/2005 of the Corporation Control Authority, Communiqué “A” 3921 of the Argentine Central Bank, and General Resolution No. 441/03 of the C.N.V. 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.

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in terms of the current measurement unit as of the reporting period-end, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost or current cost method.

In order to conclude on whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary under the provisions of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, among which the existence of a three-year cumulative inflation rate near or exceeding 100% is included. In July 2018, the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences issued a communiqué stating that companies reporting under IFRS may apply the adjustment for inflation for the accounting periods ending as from July 1, 2018.

As of the date of these financial statements, the Company’s regulatory agencies have not yet made a decision in this respect. Consequently, the financial information restatement criteria set out in IAS 29 had not been applied as of June 30, 2018. Application of this criteria implies recognizing the effects of inflation on the entity’s shareholders’ equity and results of operations, stating them in constant currency as of the measurement date. Therefore, they would significantly differ from the amounts currently reported.

Certain definitions by professional and regulatory agencies, such as applicable indexes to be used (i.e. Wholesale Domestic Price Index (“IPIM”) and Consumer Price Index (“IPC”)), should be applied and their first application is required to determine the effects of inflation. Such determinations are pending as of the date of issuance of these financial statements.

As stated above, the cumulative inflation rates over the last few years and certain macroeconomic variables affecting the Company’s business, such as labor costs and prices for supplies, should be considered when reading and analyzing these financial statements.

(c) Changes in Accounting Criteria/New Accounting Standards

As provided for in the Argentine Central Bank’s Organic Charter and the Financial Institutions Law, as new IFRS are approved or amended, or as the IFRS currently in force are repealed, and once these changes are adopted by way of Adoption Circulars handed down by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (“F.A.C.P.C.E.”), the Argentine Central Bank will decide whether to approve such changes for financial institutions. In general terms, the early adoption of any given IFRS will not be admitted, unless specifically admitted at the time of adoption.

Below is a detail of the new standards, changes and interpretations which have been published but have not yet been effectuated for the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018, and which have not been previously adopted.

IFRS 16 “Leases”: In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 1,6 “Leases,” which sets out a new accounting model for leases. Under IFRS 16, a contract is or contains a lease if the contract confers on the lessee a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, for consideration. IFRS 16 requires that the lessee recognize the liability arising from the lease reflecting the lease future payments and a right of use of the assets for substantially all leases, other than certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. Lessor accounting is maintained as provided for in IAS 17. However, the new accounting model for lessees is expected to have an impact on negotiations between lessors and lessees. Entities are required to apply IFRS 16 for the fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2019. The Group is assessing the impact the adoption of such standard will have on its financial statements.

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”: On May 18, 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17, “Insurance Contracts,” establishing a comprehensive accounting framework based on measurement and disclosure principles for insurance contracts. The new standard supersedes IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts,” and requires that insurance contracts be measured using current fulfillment cash flows and that revenues be recognized as the insurance service is delivered during the term of the coverage. Entities are required to apply IFRS 17 for the fiscal years commencing on or after November 1, 2021. The Group is assessing the potential impact this standard will have on its financial statements.

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment”: This interpretation clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12, “Income Tax,” should be applied when there is uncertainty over the income tax treatment. IFRIC 23 was published in June 17 and entities will be required to apply it for the fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 2019.

To date, there are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations which have not yet come into force and which are expected to have a material impact on the Group.

1.3. SUBSIDIARIES

Subsidiaries are all such entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights in, variable returns by reason of its involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power to direct the entity’s operating and financial policies to affect such returns. Subsidiaries are consolidated as from the time on which control is transferred to the Company, and are excluded from consolidation on the date such control ceases.

Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence, that is, the power to interfere with the decisions made as to the investee’s financial and operating policies, without exerting control.

Pursuant to IAS 27 and IAS 28, entities are required to recognize investments in subsidiaries and associates in their separate financial statements according to the “equity method.”

When using the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost and such amount is increased or reduced to recognize the investor’s share of profit or loss of the investee, subsequent to the acquisition or incorporation date. In addition, identifiable net assets and contingent liabilities acquired in the initial investment in a subsidiary and/or associate are originally recognized at fair value as of the investment date. Where applicable, the value of equity interests in subsidiaries and associates includes the goodwill recognized as of such date. When the Group’s share of loss is equal to or higher than the value of the interest in such entities, the Company does not recognize additional losses, except when it has legal or assumed obligations of providing funds or making payments against them.

The share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries and associates is recognized in “Income (Loss) for Associates and Joint Ventures” in the separate condensed interim income statement. The share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries and associates is recognized in “Equity Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures Accounted for under the Equity Method,” in the separate condensed interim statement of other comprehensive income.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED ON JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($), Except as Otherwise Stated

As of each reporting date, the Company determines whether objective evidence exists indicating that an investment in a subsidiary or associate is not recoverable. In that case, it quantifies the impairment as the difference between the recoverable value of such investment and its carrying amount, and recognizes the resulting amount in “Income (Loss) for Associates and Joint Ventures,” in the separate condensed interim income statement.

1.4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(a) Functional Currency and Reporting Currency

The figures disclosed in the separate condensed interim financial statements for each of the Group’s entities are stated in their functional currency, that is, the currency of the main economic environment in which they operate. The separate condensed interim financial statements are stated in Argentine Peso, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency.

(b) Transactions and Balances

Transactions in foreign currency are translated to functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction or valuation dates when items are measured at closing. Gains and losses in foreign currency on the settlement of these transactions and on the translation of monetary assets and liabilities to foreign currency at the exchange rates prevailing at closing are recognized in the income statement under “Exchange Rate Differences on Gold and Foreign Currency,” except when deferred in equity as in the case of qualifying cash flow hedges, where applicable.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are measured at the reference exchange rate of the U.S. dollar set by the Argentine Central Bank prevailing at the close of operations on the last working day of each month.

As of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and January 1, 2017, balances in U.S. Dollars were converted applying the reference exchange rate ($28.8617, $18.7742, $16.5985 and $15.8502, respectively) set by the Argentine Central Bank. Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar were converted into the latter currency using swap rates reported by the Argentine Central Bank.

1.5. CASH AND BANK DEPOSITS

The item “Cash and Bank Deposits” includes cash available, unrestricted deposits held in banks, cash equivalents and other short-term highly-liquid investments with original maturity within three months or less.

The assets disclosed under cash and cash equivalents are accounted for at amortized cost which approximates its fair value.

1.6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

1.6.1. Initial Recognition

The Company recognizes a financial asset or liability in its separate condensed interim financial statements, as the case may be, when it becomes a party to the financial instrument contract. Purchases and sales are recognized on the trading date on which the Company buys or sells these instruments.

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value, more or less, and in the case of instruments that are not recognized at fair value with changes in profit or loss, with the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition, such as fees and commissions.

When the fair value differs from the acquisition cost at the time of initial recognition, the Company recognizes the difference as follows:

- When the fair value is consistent with the financial asset or liability market value, or is based on a valuation method relying on market values only, the difference is recognized as profit or loss, as the case may be.

a. Financial Assets

Debt Instruments

The Company classifies as debt instruments such instruments that are considered financial liabilities for the issuer, including loans, government and private securities, and bonds.

Classification

As set out in IFRS 9, the Company classifies financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income, or at fair value with changes in profit or loss, on the basis of:

- the business model to manage financial assets; and

- the characteristics of contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

Business Model

The business model is the manner in which the Company manages a set of financial assets to achieve a specific business goal. It represents the manner in which the Company maintains instruments for cash generation.

The Group may follow several business models, whose objective is:

- holding instruments until maturity;

- holding instruments in portfolio to collect cash flows and, in turn, sell them if deemed convenient; or

- holding instruments for trading.

The business model does not depend on the intended purpose of an individual instrument. Accordingly, this condition is not an approach for classification of instruments on an individual basis. Instead, such classification is determined at a higher level of aggregation.

The Company only reclassifies an instrument if and when the business model for managing financial assets has changed. The Company’s business model has not experienced changes during the period.

Characteristics of Cash Flows

The Company assesses whether the return on cash flows from the aggregated instruments does not substantially differ from the contribution it would receive as interest only; otherwise, such instruments should be measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss.

Based on the aforementioned, financial assets are classified into three categories:

(i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost:

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost when:

(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to maintain financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

(b) the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on certain specified dates, to cash flows which are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

The amortized cost of a financial asset is equal to its acquisition cost, net of accumulated amortization plus accrued interest (calculated applying the effective rate method), net of impairment losses, if any.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income:

Financial assets are measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income when:

(a) the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

(b) the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on certain specified dates, to cash flows which are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal amount.

These instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus the incremental and directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income. The gains and losses arising from the changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income under a separate component of equity. Losses or impairment reversals, interest income, and exchange gains and losses are charged to income. Upon the sale or disposal of the instrument, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to the income statement.

(ii) Financial assets at fair value with changes in profit or loss:

Financial assets at fair value with changes in profit or loss include:

- instruments held for trading;

- instruments specifically designated at fair value with changes in profit or loss; and

- instruments whose contractual terms do not represent cash flows but rather principal or interest payments only on outstanding principal amount.

These financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value and the gains or losses derived from them are charged to the income statement as realized.

The Company classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if such instrument is acquired or incurred for the main purpose of selling or repurchasing it in the short term, or if it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments which are managed jointly and for which there is evidence of short-term profits, or if it is a derivative which does not qualify as a hedging instrument. Derivatives and trading securities are classified as held for trading and are measured at fair value.

b.         Financial Liabilities

Classification

The Company classifies its financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective rate method, except for:

- Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss, including derivative instruments.

- Liabilities resulting from the transfer of financial assets that do not meet the derecognition requirements.

- Financial guarantee contracts.

- Loan commitments at lower than market rates.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value with changes in profit or loss: The Company may, upon initial recognition, avail itself of the irrevocable option to designate a liability at fair value with changes in profit or loss, if and only if exercising such option results in a better measurement of financial information because:

- the Company eliminates or substantially reduces measurement or recognition inconsistencies which would otherwise be revealed in valuation;

- if financial assets and liabilities are managed and performance is assessed on a fair value basis, according to a documented investment or risk management strategy; or

- if a host contract contains one or more embedded derivatives and the Company has opted for designating the entire contract at fair value with changes in profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts: Financial guarantee contracts require that the issuer make specified payments to reimburse the holder for the loss it may incur if a specific debtor fails to make payment when due under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.

Financial guarantee contracts and loan commitments at lower than market rates are initially measured at fair value and then remeasured at the higher value resulting from a comparison between the commission pending accrual at year-end and the applicable allowance for impairment.

1.6.2.        Derecognition of Financial Instruments

a. Financial Assets

A financial asset or, where applicable, a portion of a financial asset or a portion of a group of similar financial assets, is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have been extinguished; or (ii) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed the obligation to pay right away all cash flows received to a third party under a pass-through agreement; and substantially all risks and rewards inherent to the asset have been transferred or, if substantially all risks and rewards inherent to the asset have not been transferred or retained, when control over such asset has been transferred.

When the contractual rights to receive the cash flows generated by the asset have been transferred or a pass-through agreement has been entered into, the entity will assess whether or not, and to which extent, it has retained the risks and rewards inherent to ownership of an asset. If an entity has neither transferred nor retained substantially all risks and rewards inherent to ownership of an asset, nor has it transferred control over such asset, then it will continue recognizing such asset in its financial statements to the extent of its continuing involvement with the same.

In this case, the entity will also recognize the related liability. The transferred asset and the related liability are measured in such a manner as to reflect the rights and obligations the Company has retained.

When continuing involvement takes the form of collateral over the transferred asset, it is measured at the lower of (i) the original carrying amount, and (ii) the maximum amount of the consideration received the entity could be required to repay.

b. Financial Liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the payment obligation ends, is canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is exchanged for another with the same borrower under substantially different terms, or the prevailing terms are substantially modified, such exchange or modification will be treated as a derecognition of the original liability, and a new liability will be recognized. The difference between the carrying amount of the initial financial liability and the consideration paid is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

1.7.        PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Assets are measured at acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, if any. The cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of these items.

Subsequent costs are included in the value of the asset and are recognized as a separate asset, as the case may be, if and only if future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company and its cost can be measured reliably. When improvements are introduced to the asset, the carrying amount of the asset being replaced is derecognized, and the new asset is depreciated over its remaining useful life.

Repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in the consolidated income statement for the period/year in which they were incurred.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using annual rates sufficient to extinguish the value of the assets at the end of their estimated useful life. If an asset is comprised by significant components with varying useful lives, such components will be recognized and depreciated as separate items.

Property, plant and equipment residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted, as needed, as of each year-end or when indicators of impairment exist.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is immediately reduced to its recoverable value when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable value.

Gains and losses from the disposal of items of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the proceeds from the disposal to the carrying amount of the respective asset, and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

1.8.        ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Discontinued Operations

A discontinued operation is a Company’s component that either has been disposed of, or classified as held for sale, and meets any of the following conditions:

- represents either a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations;

- is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; or

- is an independent entity exclusively acquired for resale.

Any gain or loss on the remeasurement of an asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale which does not meet the requirements to be classified as a discontinued operation will be recognized in income from continuing operations.

1.9.        IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Assets with indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are rather tested for impairment on an annual basis. Unlike the preceding assumption, amortizable assets are tested for impairment when events or circumstances occur indicating that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable or, at least, on an annual basis.

Impairment losses are recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value of an asset is the higher of the net proceeds that would be derived from its disposal or its value in use. For purposes of the impairment test, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are generated (cash-generating units or CGU). The carrying amount of non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which have experienced impairment is reviewed at each reporting date to check for potential impairment reversal.

1.10.        OFFSETTING

Financial assets and liabilities are offset by reporting the net amount in the consolidated balance sheet only to the extent the entity currently has a legally enforceable set-off right, and intends to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.11.        OTHER NON-FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Non-financial accounts payable are accrued when the counterparty has fulfilled its contractual obligations and are measured at amortized cost.

1.12.        CAPITAL STOCK AND CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

Shareholders’ equity accounts are stated in a currency which does not reflect the changes in the price index since February 2003, except for the item “Capital Stock,” which is carried at face value. The restatement adjustment is included in “Adjustments to Shareholders’ Equity.”

Ordinary shares are recognized in shareholders’ equity and carried at face value. When any company comprising the Group buys shares of the Company’s capital stock (treasury stock), the payment made, including any cost directly attributable to the transaction (net of taxes), is deducted from shareholders’ equity until the shares are either canceled or disposed of.

1.13.        PROFIT RESERVES

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, the Company should transfer 5% of the net income for the fiscal year to the Legal Reserve until 20% of the capital stock is reached.

1.14.        DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS

The distribution of dividends to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the separate financial statements for the fiscal year in which dividends are approved by the shareholders.

1.15.        REVENUE RECOGNITION

Financial income and expense is recognized in respect of all debt instruments in accordance with the effective rate method, pursuant to which all gains and losses which are an integral part of the transaction effective rate are deferred.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($), Except as Otherwise Stated

Income included in the effective rate includes revenues or expenses related to the creation or acquisition of the financial asset or liability.

1.16.        INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

1.16.1.     Income Tax

The income tax expense for the year includes current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except for items required to be recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In this case, the income tax liability related to such items is also recognized in such statement.

The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The Group periodically assesses the position assumed in tax returns in connection with circumstances in which the tax laws are subject to interpretation. Additionally, when required, the Group sets up provisions in respect of the amounts expected to be required to pay to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is determined, in its entirety, by applying the liability method on the temporary differences arising from the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. However, the deferred tax arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the time of the transaction does not affect income or loss for accounting or tax purposes, is not recorded. The deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) enacted as of the balance sheet date and that are expected to be applicable when the deferred tax assets are realized or the deferred tax liabilities are settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent future tax benefits are likely to arise against which the temporary differences might be offset.

The Company recognizes a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, except that the following two conditions are met:

(i) the Company controls the timing on which temporary differences will be reversed;

(ii) such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future.

The balances of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when a legal right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and to the extent such balances are related to the same tax authority, where tax balances are intended to be, and may be, settled on a net basis.

1.16.2.         Minimum Presumed Income Tax

The Company determines the minimum presumed income tax at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at each fiscal year-end. This tax is supplementary to income tax. The Company’s tax liability is equal to 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 minimum presumed income tax credit disclosed under “Other Non-current Receivables” is the portion expected to be offset against the income tax in excess of minimum presumed income tax to be generated in the following ten fiscal years.

1.17.         EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated as income for the year attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders, excluding the after-tax effect of benefits attached to preferred shares, if any, divided by average ordinary shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting income for the year attributable to shareholders and average ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of the potential conversion into equity instruments of all convertible notes held by the Company at year-end.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS-based accounting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED ON JANUARY 1, 2018 AND ENDED JUNE 30, 2018, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($), Except as Otherwise Stated

The Company has identified the following areas which involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or the areas in which the assumptions and estimates are material for the condensed interim financial statements, as essential to understanding the underlying accounting/financial reporting risks.

a.         IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Intangible assets with definite useful life and property, plant and equipment are amortized or depreciated on a straight-line basis during their estimated useful life. The Company monitors the conditions associated with these assets to determine whether the events and circumstances warrant a review of the remaining amortization or depreciation term and whether there are factors or circumstances indicating impairment in the value of the asset which might not be recoverable.

Identifying the indicators of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets requires the use of judgment. The Group has concluded that there were no indicators of impairment for any of the periods reported in its separate condensed interim financial statements.

b.         INCOME TAX AND DEFERRED TAX

The assessment of current and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires a significant level of judgment. Current income tax is accounted for according to the amounts expected to be paid, while deferred income tax is accounted for on the basis of the temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base, at the rates expected to be in force at the time of reversal of such differences.

A deferred tax asset is recognized when future taxable income is expected to exist to offset such temporary differences, based on management’s assumptions about the amounts and timing of such future taxable income. Then, management needs to determine whether deferred tax assets are likely to be used and offset against future taxable income. Actual results may differ from these estimates, for instance, changes in the applicable tax laws or the outcome of the final review of the tax returns by the tax authorities and tax courts.

Future taxable income and the number of tax benefits likely to be available in the future are based on a medium-term business plan prepared by management, on the basis of expectations which are deemed reasonable.

NOTE 3. TRANSITION TO IFRS

3.1.         REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TRANSITION TO IFRS

The following is a reconciliation between the shareholders’ equity, income statement and other comprehensive income amounts related to the separate financial statements issued according to the accounting framework prior to the transition date (January 1, 2017), the adoption date (December 31, 2017) and the closing date of the comparative period (June 30, 2017) and the amounts presented according to the IFRS-based accounting framework (see Note 1.1) in these separate condensed interim financial statements, as well as the effects of adjustments to cash flows.

3.2.         OPTIONAL EXEMPTIONS TO IFRS

IFRS 1 allows entities that adopt IFRS for the first time to consider certain one-time exceptions. Such exceptions have been established by the IASB to make the first application of certain IFRS simpler, eliminating the mandatory nature of their retrospective application.

Below are the optional exemptions applicable to the Group under IFRS 1:

- Business Combinations: The Company has opted for not applying IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” retrospectively for business combinations prior to the date of transition to IFRS.

The Company has not made use of other exemptions available in IFRS 1.

3.3.         MANDATORY EXCEPTIONS TO IFRS

Below are the mandatory exceptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1:

1. Estimates: The estimates made according to the IFRS-based accounting framework as of January 1, 2017 (date of transition to IFRS) are consistent with the estimates made as of the same date according to the Argentine Central Bank’s accounting standards, considering what is described in Note 1 (non-application of the impairment chapter of IFRS 9).

2. Accounting derecognition of financial assets and liabilities: The Company applied the criteria of accounting derecognition of financial assets and liabilities under IFRS 9 prospectively for transactions occurring after January 1, 2017.

3. Classification and measurement of financial assets: The Company has considered the existing events and circumstances as of January 1, 2017 in its evaluation of whether the financial assets meet the characteristics to be classified as assets measured at amortized cost or at fair value with changes in profit or loss or at fair value with changes in other comprehensive income.

4. Other mandatory exceptions established by IFRS 1 that have not been applied due to immateriality to the Group are:

- Hedge accounting

- Non-controlling interests

- Embedded derivatives

- Government loans

3.4.         RECONCILIATIONS REQUIRED

The following are the most significant adjustments made by applying the IFRS-based accounting framework, which were made to amounts recognized under the prior accounting framework, and are detailed in point 3.1.

(a) Investments in Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures: Upon applying the equity method, subsidiaries’ financial statements have been used. If applicable, the shareholders’ equity arising from the financial statements has been adjusted by the effect the application of the IFRS-based accounting framework has had thereon.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUES

The Company classifies the fair values of financial instruments in three levels, according to the quality of data used to determine them.

Fair Value Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as, publicly-traded derivatives, notes or available for sale) is based on the quoted prices of markets (unadjusted) as of the date of the reporting period. If the quote price is available and there is an active market for the instrument, it will be included in Level 1.

Fair Value Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets, for example, the derivatives available over the counter, is determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies the least extent possible on the Group’s specific estimates. If all the material variables to establish the fair value of a financial instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Fair Value Level 3: If one or more material variables are not based on observable market information, the instrument is included in Level 3. This is the case of unquoted equity instruments.

The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value at period-end are as follows:

Instruments Portfolio as of 06.30.18	Fair Value Level 1		Fair Value Level 2		Fair Value Level 3
Assets
- Argentine Central Bank’s Bills		346,290		-		-
- Other Financial Assets		817		-		-
Total		347,107		-		-

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers among the Fair Value levels only as of the year-end dates, there being no changes in relation to the financial instruments held in portfolio as of December 31, 2017.

Derivative Instruments

FORWARD PURCHASE-SALE OF FOREIGN CURRENCY WITHOUT DELIVERY OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

Mercado Abierto Electrónico (“MAE”) and Rosario Futures Exchange (“ROFEX”) have trading environments for the closing, recording and settlement of forward financial transactions carried out among its agents, including the Bank. These transactions are generally settled without delivery of the traded underlying asset. Settlement is carried out on a daily basis, in Pesos, for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income.

The transactions are recorded in Off-Balance Sheet Items for the notional value traded. The accrued balances pending settlement are disclosed in the “Derivative Instruments” line of Assets and/or Liabilities, as the case may be.

On September 7, 2017, the Board of Directors of the C.N.V., by means of Joint Resolution No. RESFC-2017-18927-APN-DIR#CNV, decided to authorize the public offering of 130,434,600 ordinary book-entry Class “B” shares, with a face value of $1 and one vote per share and, in case of over-subscription, an increase in such offering up to 19,565,190 ordinary book-entry Class “B” shares, with a face value of $1 and one vote each to be offered for public subscription, with preemptive and accretion rights.

Tax Reform

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive Branch enacted Income Tax Law No. 27430. This law has introduced several changes to the previous income tax treatment. Some of the key changes involved in the reform include:

- Income Tax Rate: The income tax rate for Argentine companies shall be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019, and to 25% for the fiscal years commencing on, and including, January 1, 2020.

- Tax on Dividends: The law has introduced a tax on dividends or profits distributed by Argentine companies or permanent establishments, among others, to individuals, undivided interests or foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following considerations: (i) dividends distributed out of the profits made during the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to withholding at a 7% rate; and (ii) dividends distributed out of the profits made during the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2020 onwards shall be subject to withholding at a 13% rate.

Dividends distributed from profits earned until the fiscal year before that commenced on January 1, 2018 shall remain subject, in respect of all beneficiaries, to withholding at the 35% rate on the amount in excess of tax-free distributable accumulated profits (equalization tax transition period).

- Optional Tax Revaluation: Regulations establish that, at the companies’ option, the tax revaluation of assets located in the country and that are used for generating taxable income may be made. The special tax on the revaluation amount depends on the asset: 8% for real estate that does not qualify as inventory, 15% for real estate that qualifies as inventory, and 10% for personal property and the remaining assets. Once the option for a given asset is exercised, all the other assets of the same category should be revalued. Taxable income resulting from the revaluation is not subject to income tax and the special tax on the revaluation amount will not be deductible from such tax.

10.2.        RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

Pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, stock companies shall establish a reserve not lower than 5% of the realized and liquid profits shown in the Income Statement for the applicable fiscal year, until 20% of the capital stock is reached. In the event that said reserve is reduced for any reason, no profits can be distributed until its total refund.

10.3.        CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY POLICY

The Company’s Board of Directors is the Company’s highest management body. It is made up of nine directors and three alternate directors, who must have the necessary knowledge and skills to clearly understand their responsibilities and duties within the corporate governance, and to act with the loyalty and diligence of a good businessman.

As set out in its bylaws, the term of office for both directors and alternate directors is three (3) years; they are partially changed every year and may be reelected indefinitely.

The Company complies with the appropriate standards regarding the total number of directors, as well as the 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 (3) to nine (9) directors.

The Board of Directors complies, in every relevant respect, with the recommendations included in the Code on Corporate Governance as Schedule IV to Title IV of the regulations issued by the National Securities Commission (text amended in 2013).

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. Appropriate matters are 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 contains three 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

The Company is a company whose sole purpose is to conduct financial and investment activities as per Section 31 of the Argentine General Corporations Law. That is to say, it is a holding company whose activity involves managing its equity investments, assets and resources.

Within the group of companies in which the Company has an interest, the Bank, in which the Company has a controlling equity interest, stands out, being the Company’s main asset. The Bank, as a bank institution, is subject to certain regulatory restrictions imposed by the Argentine Central Bank. In particular, the Bank 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, the Company holds, either directly or indirectly, the remaining interests in several companies. In addition, the Company indirectly holds a number of equity investments in supplementary companies that belong to the Bank as the controlling company.

Since the Company is a holding company, it has a limited personnel structure, and, therefore, many of the business organization requirements, common for big productive institutions, cannot be applied to this company.

To conclude, it is noteworthy that the Company is under the control of a pure holding company, EBA Holding S.A., which has the number of votes necessary to hold the majority of votes at the Shareholders’ Meetings, although it does not have any managerial functions over the Company and the Company has no group relationship with EBA Holding 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

The Company has consistently 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.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a formally approved Code of Ethics that guides its policies and activities. It considers business objectivity and conflict-of-interests related-aspects, and how an employee should act upon identifying a breach of the Code of Ethics.

10.4.          COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS REQUIRED BY THE C.N.V.

10.4.1.        Agents – Minimum Liquidity Requirement

Within the framework of Resolution No. 622/13 of the C.N.V., the Bank has been registered, in such agency’s registry, as settlement and clearing agent –comprehensive- No. 22 (ALyC and AN – INTEGRAL), custodial agent of collective investment products corresponding to mutual funds No. 3 (ACPIC FCI), and manager of collective investment products at the registry of financial trustees No. 54.

As of June 30, 2018, the Bank’s shareholders’ equity exceeds that required by the C.N.V. to act as agent in the categories in which the Bank has been registered. Such requirement amounts to $28,000, with a minimum liquidity requirement of $14,000, which the Bank paid with Argentine Central Bank’s monetary regulation instruments, which are held in custody at Caja de Valores (Depositor No. 100100) in the amount of $18,623.

Moreover, Galicia Valores S.A. has received the authorization to act as “Settlement and Clearing Agent and Trading Agent – Own”, as established by C.N.V.’s General Resolution No. 622/13. According to the minimum requirements established, the minimum shareholders’ equity required to act in this agent’s category amounts to $3,500 and the minimum liquidity amounts to $1,750.

As of June 30, 2018, the minimum liquidity is made up of a sight account opened at the Bank in the amount of US $250.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE SEPARATE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

The following information as of December 31, 2017 has been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set forth by the Argentine Central Bank and is required to understand these separate condensed interim financial statements.

1.        CASH AND BANK DEPOSITS

Cash equivalents are held to meet short-term payment commitments, rather than for investment or similar purposes. In order for a financial investment to be classified as a cash equivalent, it should be readily convertible into a certain amount of cash and its risk of changes in value should be immaterial. Accordingly, an investment will be so classified as a cash equivalent if it matures within three months or less from the acquisition date. Equity interests are excluded from cash equivalents.

The table below shows a breakdown of items comprising cash and cash equivalents:

	12.31.17		01.01.17
Cash and Bank Deposits		3,688		1,409

Tax Reform

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive Branch enacted Income Tax Law No. 27430. This law has introduced several changes to the previous income tax treatment. Some of the key changes involved in the reform include:

Income Tax Rates: The income tax rate for Argentine companies shall be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019, and to 25% for the fiscal years commencing on, and including, January 1, 2020.

Tax on Dividends: The law has introduced a tax on dividends or profits distributed by Argentine companies or permanent establishments, among others, to individuals, undivided interests or foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following considerations: (i) dividends distributed out of the profits made during fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to withholding at a 7% rate; and (ii) dividends distributed out of the profits made during fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2020 onwards shall be subject to withholding at a 13% rate.

Dividends distributed from profits earned until the fiscal year before that commenced on January 1, 2018 shall remain subject, in respect of all beneficiaries, to withholding at the 35% rate on the amount in excess of tax-free distributable accumulated profits (equalization tax transition period).

17. DIVIDENDS PER SHARE

Dividends paid in the 2017 fiscal year to the Group’s shareholders amounted to $240,000, accounting for $0.18 (figure stated in Pesos) per share.

18. RISKS

Apart from applicable local regulations, the Company, in its capacity as a listed company in the United States of America, complies with the certification of its internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act (“Sarbanes Oxley”). Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which also gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.

Market Risk

The following table shows a sensitivity analysis of income (loss) and shareholders’ equity to reasonable changes in exchange rates relative to the Company’s functional currency.

In 2017, the Group assigned a holding period to each instrument based on depth of market (previously, the time horizon was 10 sessions for the entire trading activities).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the Chairman and Directors of

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

Legal Domicile: Tte. Gral. Juan D. Perón 430 – 25th floor

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

C.U.I.T. No. 30-70496280-7

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated condensed interim financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (hereinafter “the Entity”), which include the Consolidated Condensed Interim Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018, the related Consolidated Condensed Interim Income Statement and Statement of Other Comprehensive Income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, and the Consolidated Condensed Interim Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the six month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information included in notes and schedules supplementing them.

The amounts and other information for fiscal year 2017, and the related interim periods, are an integral part of the financial statements mentioned above and, therefore, shall be considered in relation with those financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility

The Entity’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the consolidated condensed interim financial statements, in accordance with the accounting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (the B.C.R.A.). As mentioned in Note 1.1 to the accompanying financial statements, such accounting framework is based on applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, particularly, the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (IAS 34), approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Such standards were adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.) and by the B.C.R.A., and were used in preparing the financial statements, with the only temporary exception of point 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9 “Financial Instruments”.

Scope of our Review

Our review was limited to the application of the procedures set forth in F.A.C.P.C.E.’s Technical Pronouncement No. 37 for the review of interim financial statements and the auditing standards issued by the B.C.R.A. for limited reviews. A review of interim financial statements mainly involves in making inquiries to the Entity’s staff responsible for the preparation of the information included in the consolidated condensed interim financial statements and the performance of analytical procedures and other review procedures. The scope of this review is substantially more limited than an audit examination performed according to Argentine Audit Standard, therefore, a review does not allow us to be certain that we shall be informed of all significant issues that may be identified during an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion on the Entity’s consolidated financial position, consolidated comprehensive income and consolidated cash flows.

The effects of the changes generated by the application of this new accounting basis are disclosed in Note 3. Items and amounts included in the reconciliations contained in such note are subject to changes that may arise as a result of variations in the IFRS to be finally applied and shall only be deemed final when the annual financial statements for this fiscal year are prepared.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY SYNDICS’ COMMITTEE

To the Directors and Shareholders of

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.

Legal Domicile: Tte. Gral. Juan D. Perón 430 – 25^th floor

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

C.U.I.T. No. 30-70496280-7

DOCUMENTS EXAMINED

1. In our capacity as Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s syndics, we have reviewed the accompanying consolidated and separate condensed interim financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (hereinafter “the Entity”), which include:

• The Condensed Interim Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018.

• The Condensed Interim Income Statement and Statement of Other Comprehensive Income for the three- and six month periods ended June 30, 2018.

• The Condensed Interim Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the six month period then ended.

• A summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information included in notes and schedules.

• The Informative Review.

The amounts and other information for fiscal year 2017, and the related interim periods, are an integral part of the financial statements mentioned above and are disclosed to be exclusively construed in connection with the amounts and information for the current interim period.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. The Entity’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, in accordance with the accounting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (the B.C.R.A.), and the internal control deemed necessary to allow for the preparation of the financial statements free from material misstatements. As mentioned in Note 1.1 to the accompanying consolidated and separate condensed interim financial statements, such accounting framework is based on applying the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, particularly, the International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (IAS 34), as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Such standards were adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.) and by the B.C.R.A., and were used in preparing the financial statements, with the only temporary exception of point 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9 “Financial Instruments”, which was temporarily excluded by the B.C.R.A. from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions.

SYNDIC’S RESPONSIBILITY

3. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the documents mentioned in paragraph 1., based on the reviews we conducted within the scope specified in paragraph 4.

4. Our work was conducted in accordance with effective legal standards applicable to syndics and by those set out in Technical Pronouncement No. 15 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences. These standards require that the review of the quarterly financial statements be conducted observing standards applicable to engagements for review of interim-period financial statements, and verify the consistency of the documents examined with the information concerning corporate decisions, as disclosed in minutes. In addition,

they require that corporate decisions entered in minutes conform to the law and the bylaws with respect to formal and documentary requirements. For purposes of our professional work on the documents detailed above, we have considered the review performed by the external auditor, Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., who issued their unqualified limited review report on August 16, 2018, in accordance with auditing standards in force applicable to engagements for review of interim-period financial statements. Such review included verifying the work planning and the nature, scope and timing of the procedures applied and the results of the review performed by those professionals. The above-mentioned external auditors conducted their reviews in accordance with Technical Pronouncement No. 37 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.) for the review of interim-period financial statements and the auditing standards issued by the Argentine Central Bank (the B.C.R.A.) for limited reviews. A review of interim financial statements consists in making inquiries to the Entity’s staff, mainly those responsible for the financial and accounting matters and in performing analytic and other review procedures. The scope of this review is substantially more limited than that of an audit and, therefore, does not allow us to obtain assurance that we will be aware of all the significant matters that could be identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

Given that it is not our responsibility to exercise any management control, the review did not extend to the business criteria and decisions of the different areas of the Entity, as these matters 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 other procedures described in Section 294 of Law No. 19550, which we deemed necessary according to the circumstances.

CONCLUSION

• Based on our reviews, with the scope described in point 4 above, and considering the external auditor’s review report, nothing has called our attention that would make us think that the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Argentine Central Bank’s accounting standards.

• In compliance with the legality control that is part of our field of competence, we have no observations to make.

Without changing our conclusion:

i) We call the attention to Note 1.1 to the accompanying consolidated and separate condensed interim financial statements, where we describe the difference between the B.C.R.A.- and the IFRS-based accounting framework, considering that the application of Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” was temporarily excluded by the B.C.R.A. from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions.

ii) We call the attention to Note 1.1, which states that the condensed interim financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been prepared according to the accounting framework established by the B.C.R.A., according to IAS 34 (with the exception described in such note), being this the first fiscal year in which the Entity applies those standards. The effects of changes resulting from applying this new accounting basis are presented in Note 3 to the consolidated and separate condensed interim financial statements. The items and figures included in the reconciliations contained in such notes are subject to changes that may result from changes in the IFRS to be finally applied and may only be considered to be final upon the preparation of the annual financial statements for this fiscal year.
