LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM-PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Translation into English – Originally issued in Spanish
See Note 22 to the Financial Statements

To the Directors of
BANCO MACRO S.A.
Registered office: Sarmiento 447
City of Buenos Aires

1.
We have performed a limited review of the accompanying balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. as of September 30, 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended. We have also performed a limited review of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, which are disclosed as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank Management.

2.
We conducted our limited review in accordance with the standards of Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences Technical Resolution No. 7 applicable to a limited review of the interim-period financial statements and with the “Minimum external auditing standards” issued by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina) applicable to the review of quarterly financial statements. Under such standards, a limited review consists primarily of applying analytical procedures to the accounting information and making inquiries of the persons in charge of accounting and financial matters. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit of financial statements, the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. Therefore, we do not express such an opinion.

 
 

 

3.
As described in Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements, the financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been prepared by the Bank in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA, which differ from the professional accounting standards effective in Argentina in certain valuation and disclosure aspects described and quantified in such note.

4.
As further explained in Note 22, certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the accounting standards set forth by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

5.
Based on our review, we have not become aware of any facts or circumstances that would require making significant changes to the financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph above in order for them to be presented in accordance with accounting standards established by the BCRA and, except for the effect of what is mentioned in the third paragraph, with professional accounting standards effective in Argentina.

6.
With respect to the balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. and BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of BANCO MACRO S.A. and BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, which were presented for comparative purposes, we report that:

 
a)
On February 10, 2011, we issued an audit report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, which included a qualified opinion due to differences between the application of the accounting standards established by the BCRA and the professional accounting standards effective in Argentina, which are described and quantified in note 5 to the accompanying financial statements. We have not audited any financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2010.

 
- 2 -

 

 
b)
On November 4, 2010, we issued a limited review report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, which included qualifications due to the differences between the accounting standards established by the BCRA and the professional accounting standards effective in Argentina, which are described and quantified in note 5 to the accompanying financial statements.

7.
In compliance with current legal requirements, we report that:

 
a)
The financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been transcribed to the Inventory and Financial Statements book.

 
b)
The financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. were derived from books kept, in their formal aspects, pursuant to current legal requirements and BCRA regulations.

 
c)
As of September 30, 2011, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the National Social Security Administration, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 18,519,560, none of which was due as of that date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

 
3.1.
Comparative information

As required under Central Bank rules, the balance sheet as of September 30, 2011, and supplementary information are presented comparatively with those of the prior fiscal year, while the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, are presented comparatively with those of the same period in the prior fiscal year.

By means of Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, the Central Bank, introduced amendments to the accounting criteria of nonfinancial government sector securities and instruments issued by the Central Bank from March 1, 2011. As a result, certain accounts and items on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, and on the statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, as well as the certain supplementary information, were reclassified due to the application of such communiqués solely for comparative purposes with these financial Statements.

 
3.2.
Restatement into constant pesos

Professional accounting standards in Argentina establish that the financial statements should be stated in constant pesos. In a monetary stability context, the nominal currency is used as constant currency; however, during inflationary or deflationary periods, financial statements are required to be stated in constant currency as of the latest balance sheet date, recognizing the variations in the domestic wholesale price index (domestic WPI) published by the INDEC (Argentine Institute of Statistics and Censuses), in conformity with the restatement method under FACPCE (Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences) Technical Resolution No. 6.

The Bank’s financial statements reflect the changes in the peso purchasing power through February 28, 2003, under Presidential Decree No. 664/2003, IGJ (Argentine regulatory agency of business associations) General Resolution No. 4/2003, CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) General Resolution No. 441, and Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921.  Professional accounting standards provide that the restatement method established by Technical Resolution No. 6 should have been discontinued since October 1, 2003.  The effects of not having recognized the changes in the peso purchasing power through such date have not been material to the financial statements taken as a whole.

 
3.3.
Use of estimates

The preparation of financial Statements requires the Bank to make, in certain cases, estimates to determine the book values of assets and liabilities, income, expenses and contingencies, as well as the disclosure thereof, as of each date of accounting information filing. The Bank´s records are based on the best estimate regarding the probability of occurrence of different future events and, therefore, the final amount may differ from such estimates, which may have a positive or negative impact on future periods.

 
3.4.
Valuation methods

The main valuation methods used to prepare these financial statements were as follows:

Additionally, assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were translated at the exchange rate communicated by the Central Bank ´s dealing room. Foreign exchange differences were recorded in the statement of income for the period and fiscal year, respectively.

 
b) 
Government and private securities:

 
b.1)
Government securities - Holdings booked at  market value and under repurchase agreements:

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, they were valued at the quoted prices or present values reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be. Differences in quoted prices and present values were recorded in the statement of income for the period and fiscal year, respectively.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2010, the holding that the Central Bank reported at present value —which were booked, as of that date, under “Unlisted government securities”— were valued following the guidelines in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 4898, as amended, considering the present values reported by the Central Bank, book values and the use of the relevant offset accounts and those ones which are reclassified to this sub-item for comparative proposals.

 
b.2)
Government securities - Holdings booked at cost plus interest:

As of September 30, 2011, as set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, they were valued at acquisition cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, net of the related offset account, also compared with the present values calculated by the Bank. The acquisition value previously mentioned is related to the present value of each security as of March 1, 2011, or the subsequent acquisition date, as the case may be.

As of December 31, 2010, as set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 4898, as amended, those holdings were recorded at book value as of January 31, 2009, or the subsequent acquisition cost, net of the financial interests collected after that date and the related offset account. Accrued interest and, as the case may be, the adjustment resulting from applying the CER (benchmark stabilization coefficient) were booked in such offset account. As of December 31, 2010, these holdings were booked under “Unlisted government securities”.

b.4)
Instruments issued by the Central Bank – Holdings booked at amortized cost:

Holdings in the proprietary portfolio and those received from repurchased agreements with no volatility published by the Central Bank were valued at acquisition cost plus accrued interest, exponentially applying the internal rate of return as per their issuance terms and conditions. The accruals of the internal rate of return mentioned above were charged to income for the period and year, respectively.

 
c) 
Guaranteed loans – Presidential Decree No. 1,387/01:

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, as set forth in Central Bank Communiqués “A” 4898, “A” 5180 and, as supplemented, the guaranteed loans issued by the Argentine Government under Presidential Decree No. 1387/2001 were valued at the specific acquisition value of each security, increased by accrued income including CER, net of the related offset account, compared in turn with the present values reported by the Central Bank.

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 194,310 and 280,316, respectively.

 
d) 
Interest accrual:

Interest has been accrued according to a compound interest formula in the period in which it was generated, except interest on transactions in foreign currency and those whose maturity does not exceed 92 days, on which interest has been accrued according to a simple interest formula.

The Bank suspends the interest accrual whenever loan payments are not settled (generally, after 90 days) or when the recoverability of the collection of principal or interest accrued is doubtful. Accrued interest is considered part of the loan balance when determining the allowances for loan losses. Afterwards, interest is only recognized on a cash basis.

 
e) 
CER accrual:

Receivables and payables have been indexed by the CER, wherever applicable, as follows:

 
e.1)
Government securities - Holdings booked at amortized cost: as explained in note 3.4.b.2).

 
e.2)
Guaranteed loans: as explained in Note 3.4.c).

 
e.3)
Deposits and other assets and liabilities: They were adjusted by CER as of the last business day of the period- and year-end, respectively.

 
f) 
Allowance for loan losses and provision for contingent commitments:

These provisions have been calculated based on the estimated uncollectibility risk of the Bank's credit portfolio, which, among other factors, results from the evaluation of the degree of debtors compliance and the guarantee/security supporting the respective transactions, considering Central Bank Communiqué “A” 2950, as supplemented, and the Bank’s provisioning policies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

When loans covered by specific allowances are settled or generate a reversal of the allowances recorded in the current period, and in cases where the allowances set in prior years exceed what is considered necessary, the excess allowance is reversed with effects on income for the current period.

The recovery of receivables previously classified under “Debit-balance control memorandum accounts - Receivables classified as irrecoverable” are charged directly to income.

The Bank assesses the credit risk related to possible commitments and determines, the appropriate amount of allowances to be recorded. The allowances related to amounts recorded in memorandum accounts, contingent commitments, are included under “Provisions”.

INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

The Bank calculates income tax by applying the effective 35% rate to the estimated taxable income for each period, without considering the effect of temporary differences between book and taxable income.

In 1998, Law No. 25,063 established minimum presumed income tax for a ten-year term. At present, after subsequent extensions, such tax is effective through December 30, 2019. This tax is supplementary to income tax, while the latter is levied on the taxable income for the year, minimum presumed income tax is a minimum levy assessment by applying the 1% over the 20% of certain assets as provided by the law for financial institutions. Therefore, the Bank’s tax obligation for each year will be equal to the higher of these taxes. However, if minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax in a given tax year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of any income tax in excess of minimum presumed income tax that may occur in any of the following ten years, once accumulated net operating losses (NOLs) have been used.

As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 436,500 and 346,500, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for the years ended on such date.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2011, the Bank made income tax prepayments for 151,267 for the 2011 fiscal year, which were recorded in the "Other receivables" account.

(a)
Holdings of government securities, instruments issued by the Central Bank and credit assistance to the nonfinancial government sector: these holdings and financing are valued based on the specific regulations and standards issued by the Argentine government and the Central Bank, which set forth, among other issues, the use of present values, technical values and offset accounts, as explained in notes 3.4.b.2), 3.4.b.4) and 3.4.c). Pursuant to professional accounting standards, the securities, instruments and assistance mentioned in those notes should be stated at their market and/or present values, as the case may be. In addition, Central Bank current regulations establish that receivables from the nonfinancial government sector are not subject to loan-loss provisioning, although they do allow booking provisions to cover fluctuations in the valuation of certain instruments. Professional accounting standards require that assets in general be compared with their recoverable value every time financial statements are prepared.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)
 
 
(b)
Business combinations: under the standards set forth by Central Bank, business acquisitions are recorded according to the book values of the acquired company. Consequently, the difference between the purchase price and its interest valued by the equity method in the books of the acquirer, is recorded as positive goodwill (when the purchase price is higher than the interest valued by the equity method) or negative goodwill (when the purchase price is lower than the interest valued by the equity method), as the case may be. If goodwill is positive, Central Bank standards establish that such goodwill should be amortized under the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of ten years. If goodwill is negative, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3984 establishes specific amortization methods; the maximum amortization allowed per annum is 20%.

According to current professional accounting standards effective in Argentina, business combinations are recorded based on the market values of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets. Consequently, the difference between the purchase price and the identifiable net asset measurement value is recorded as positive or negative goodwill, as the case may be. If goodwill is positive, such goodwill (i) will depreciate systematically throughout the estimated useful life and (ii) will be compared with its recoverable value as of each year-end. If goodwill is negative, such goodwill will be allocated to income (loss) in accordance with the changes in the specific circumstances that created such negative goodwill.

 
(c)
Subsidiaries Banco del Tucumán S.A. and Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A., prepare its financial statements in conformity with Central Bank rules, which differ from professional accounting standards.
 
 
(d)
Intangible assets: the Bank and its subsidiaries capitalized under “Intangible Assets” net of the related amortization amounts, the foreign exchange differences related to the reimbursement of certain deposits in foreign currency converted to pesos and the effect of court deposits dollarization. According to current professional accounting standards, the Bank should reduce the book value of surpluses at the recoverable value.

 
(e)
Income tax: The Bank and its subsidiaries determine income tax applying the effective rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of the temporary differences between book and taxable income. According to professional accounting standards, income tax should be booked following deferred tax method, recognizing (as a receivable or payable) the tax effect of temporary differences between book and tax valuation of assets and liabilities, and subsequently charging them to income for the years in which such differences are reversed, considering the possibility of using net operating losses (NOLs) in the future.

 
(f)
The Bank recorded interest rate swap agreements in conformity with the Central Bank accounting standards under memorandum accounts.

On September 13, 2001, the Argentine Government (trustor) and Banco de la Nación Argentina (trustee) entered into a trust agreement that created the financial Trust “Fideicomiso Creado por Decreto 976-01”.

The purpose thereof is the development of projects, works, services and maintenance on road and railway infrastructure in rural and semirural areas, among others. The trust revenues (corpus assets) arise, mainly, from collecting tax on gas oil, equivalent to 22% of the price per liter. Such tax was created by Law No. 26,028 and its effective term was subsequently extended until 2024 by Law 26,422.L

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the debt securities acquired by the Bank account for less than 1% of the trust issues.

San Isidro Trust

On June 4, 2001, San Isidro Trust was created for the purpose of securing loans that Banco Macro S.A. had previously granted to the trustor.
Thus, the trust was required to sell the corpus assets in the same condition they were when received and use their proceeds to settle the certificates of participation in order of priority assigned to each. Subsequently, a real estate urbanization project was undertaken prior to the sale of the real property.

On November 7, 2008, the Bank proceeded to sell on credit all of the certificates of participation issued by the trust to an unrelated company.

Subsequently, the trust issued debt securities, which were subscribed by the Bank.

According to the accounting information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the corpus assets amounted to about 102,384.

 
(g)
Fideicomiso Chubut oil & gas royalties

On July 06, 2010, the Province of Chubut (trustor) and Banco de Valores S.A. (trustee) entered into a trust agreement that created the financial trust “Fideicomiso Chubut regalías hidrocarburíferas” (Fideicomiso Chubut oil & gas royalties).

The purpose of such trust is to finance production projects, infrastructure works in the province of Chubut and financial investments aimed at increasing the state’s interest in the energy sector. Trust revenues (corpus assets) arise mainly from credits resulting from the assignment, by the Province in favor of the trustee, of the rights on such oil & gas royalties collected by the appointed concessionaire (Pan American Energy LLC., Argentine Branch).

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the debt securities acquired by the Bank account for 4% of the trust issues.

 
(h)
Galtrust financial Trust

On October 13, 2000, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (trustor) and First Trust of New York N.A., permanent representation in Argentina (financial trustee), organized Galtrust I financial trust. The purpose of the trust is to collect the corpus assets (Presidential Decree 1579/02 - secured bonds in Argentine pesos -BOGAR 2018) and settle the debt securities and certificates of participation issued.

BOGAR 2018 arise from the exchange of loans in US dollars granted by the trustor to several provincial governments in Argentina, secured with Federal Tax Revenue Sharing System, under Presidential Decree No. 1,579 issued on August 27, 2002.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Bank is the beneficiary of the 13% of the debt securities in force.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

 
15.2.
Trusts created using financial assets transferred by the Bank

The Bank transferred financial assets (loans) to trusts for the purpose of issuing and selling securities the collection of which is guaranteed by the cash flow resulting from such assets or group of assets. This way, the funds originally used to finance loans are recovered early, increasing the Bank's lending capacity.

According to the latest accounting information available as of the date of issue of these financial statements, the corpus assets managed totaled 6,219 as of both dates.

 
15.3.
Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank

As it is common in the Argentine banking market, the Bank requires, in some cases, that the debtors present certain assets or entitlements to receive assets in a trust as a guarantee for the loans granted. This way, the risk of losses is minimized and access to the security is guaranteed in case of the debtor's noncompliance.

Trusts usually act as conduits to collect cash from the debtor’s flow of operations and send it to the bank for the payment of the debtor’s loans and thus ensure compliance with the obligations assumed by the trustor and guaranteed through the trust.

Additionally, other guarantee trusts manage specific assets, mainly real property.

Provided there is no noncompliance or delays by debtor in the obligations assumed with the beneficiary, the Trustee shall not execute the guaranty and all excess amounts as to the value of the obligations are reimbursed by the Trustee to the debtor.

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the trusts’ assets managed amount to 319,351 and 273,508, respectively.

 
15.4.
Trusts in which the Bank acts as trustee (administration).

The Bank performs management duties in relation to the corpus assets according to the agreements and only performs trustee duties and has no other interests in the trust.

In no case shall the Trustee be liable with its own assets or for any obligation deriving from the performance as trustee. Such obligations do not imply any type of indebtedness or commitment for the trustee and they will be fulfilled only through trust assets. In addition, the trustee will not encumber the corpus assets or dispose of them beyond the limits established in the related trust agreements. The fees earned by the Bank from its role as trustee are calculated according to the terms and conditions of the agreements.

Trusts usually manage funds derived from the activities performed by trustors, for the following main purposes

 
(a)
Guaranteeing in favor of the beneficiary the existence of the resources required to finance and/or pay certain obligations, such as the payment of installments regarding work or service certificates, and the payment of invoices and fees stipulated in the related agreements.

 
(b)
Promoting the production development of the private economic sector at a provincial level.

 
(c)
Being a party to public work concession agreements granting road exploitation, management, keeping and maintenance.

As of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the trusts’ assets managed amount to 350,821 and 254,567, respectively.

TAX CLAIMS

AFIP (Federal Public Revenue Agency) has reviewed the tax returns filed by the Bank related to income tax and minimum presumed income tax for fiscal years prior to 2005.

Additionally, provincial tax authorities have reviewed other taxes (mainly turnover tax) for prior fiscal years.

The most significant claims arising from the previous paragraphs are detailed below:

 
a)
AFIP challenged the income tax returns filed by the former Banco Bansud S.A. (for the fiscal years since June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and of the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by the former Banco Macro S.A. (for the fiscal years ended since December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000).

The issues under discussion and on which the regulatory agency bases its position are the impossibility to deduct the credits with collateral security and the requirement to begin judicial collection proceedings for outstanding receivables to be deducted for tax purposes. Both issues were analyzed by the Federal Administrative Tax Court and the Argentine Supreme Court in similar cases, which issued a resolution in favor of the position assumed by the Bank.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

On June 29, 2009, and August 26, 2009, the Bank partly joined the system under Law No. 26,476 Title I regularizing the credits in question that lack collateral security.

 
b)
The Buenos Aires City Tax Authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to Banco Macro S.A. for tax period 2002, in relation to the treatment of the compensation bond, over which a precautionary measure was issued in 2009 in favor of the Bank.

Additionally, there are other appeals which are not relevant with Tax Court.

The Bank’s Management and its legal and tax advisors believe there are no additional significant effects to those already recognized in the books that may result from the final outcome of such claims.

19.
CHANGES IN THE ARGENTINE MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, AND THE SITUATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM AND THE BANK

The financial and capital markets

Based on the volatility conditions in international financial markets during the last few years, Bank’s Management permanently monitors the changes in international market circumstances and at a local level in order to determine the possible actions to be taken and to identify the potential effects over its equity and financial situation that may need to be reflected in the financial statements for future periods.

Legal actions

The Argentine economic and financial situation worsened in late 2001, when the Argentine government suspended payments on the sovereign debt and imposed severe restrictions on cash withdrawals from financial institutions.

The measures adopted by the Federal Executive Government with respect to the public emergency in political, economic, financial and foreign exchange matters triggered a number of legal actions (known as recursos de amparo – constitutional rights protection actions), brought by individuals and companies against the Federal Government, the Central Bank and the financial institutions for considering that Public Emergency Law and its supplementary regulations are unconstitutional.

In the specific case of deposits denominated in foreign currency, in some cases, the courts ordered the reimbursement of such deposits, either in foreign currency or at free foreign exchange rate at the time of reimbursement until a final judgment is issued with respect to the constitutionality of the conversion into pesos.

Some of these claims were treated by the Argentine Supreme Court, which issued resolutions on lower-court decisions for each particular case and in different manners.

On December 27, 2006, the Argentine Supreme Court revoked prior instance judgments that ordered the reimbursement of deposits in US dollars and decided that depositors are entitled to reimbursement of their deposits switched to pesos at the Ps. 1.40-to-USD 1 exchange rate, adjusted by the CER through the payment date, and interest should be applied to such amount at a 4% rate p.a., which may not be compounded through the payment date.

As regards courts deposit in US dollars, on March 20, 2007, the Argentine Supreme Court ruled that principal should be reimbursed with no deterioration in value whatsoever, and that the sums should be kept in their original currency.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

As mentioned in Notes 3.4.l.2), under Central Bank Communiqués “A” 3916 and “A” 4686, as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Bank continued capitalizing in “Intangible assets” the amounts of 48,657 and 52,273 at stand-alone level, respectively, and a total of 50,707 and 54,680 at consolidated level, respectively, net of related amortizations with respect to the differences resulting from the payments of deposit-related court orders, and the estimates of the additional effects of the abovementioned Supreme Court decision.

Additionally, as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Bank recorded the additional payables related to such regulation under the “Provisions” account in the amount of 9,268 and 9,818 at the stand-alone level, respectively, and a total of 14,396 and 14,473 at consolidated level, respectively. Considering what has been mentioned in Note 3.4.l.2), the Bank´s Management believes that there would be no additional significant effects, other than those recognized in accounts, that could derive from the final outcome of such actions.

20.
RESTRICTION ON EARNINGS DISTRIBUTION

 
a)
According to Central Bank provisions, 20% of income for the year plus/minus prior-year adjustments and less accumulated losses as of the prior year-end, if any, should be allocated to the legal reserve.

 
b)
Under Law No. 25,063, dividends to be distributed in cash or in kind in excess of taxable income accumulated as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the payment or distribution date shall be subject to a 35% income tax withholding as single and definitive payment. Income to be considered in each year will result from deducting the tax paid for the tax period(s) in which income was distributed or the related proportional amount from taxable income, and adding dividends or income from other corporations not computed upon determining such income in the same tax period(s).

 
c)
Through Communiqué “A” 5072, the Central Bank established the general procedure to admit the distribution of earnings. According to that procedure, earnings may only be distributed upon express authorization by the Central Bank, provided there are no records of the Bank having received financial aid from the Central Bank due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital, among other previous conditions listed in the communiqué.

Therefore, earnings may only be distributed as long as the Bank has income after deducting, on a nonaccounting basis, inappropriated retained earnings, the amounts of the legal and statutory reserves which are mandatory, the positive net difference between the book value and market value or present value reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be, of government debt securities and/or instruments issued by the Central Bank not valued at market price, amounts capitalized due to legal proceedings related to deposits, among other items.

Lastly, the maximum amount to be distributed cannot exceed the excess payments of required capital minimum considering, for this purpose only, an increasing adjustment of 30% the required amount and deducting the abovementioned adjustments, the capitalized amount for minimum presumed income tax and the reserves used to compensate instruments representing long-term debt liable to forming part of the Bank’s computable equity.

21.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PUBLICATION

Under Communiqué “A” 760, the Central Bank prior intervention is not required for the publication of these financial statements.

Valuation and disclosure criteria:

According to the procedures provided by Central Bank rules - Communiqué “A” 2227, as supplemented - and FACPCE Technical Resolution No. 21, the Bank has consolidated line-by-line (i) its balance sheets as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, and (ii) the statements of income and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, with the financial statements of the subsidiaries listed in note 1.2. as of each respective date.

The receivables/payables and transactions between the companies were eliminated in the consolidation process.

1.3.
Methods of incorporating foreign subsidiaries:

The financial statements of Macro Bank Limited were adapted to Central Bank rules. Also, as they are originally stated in US dollars, they were translated into pesos following the procedures indicated below:

 
a)
Assets and liabilities were converted at the reference exchange rate at the closing of transactions on the last business day of the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, and the year ended December 31, 2010.

 
b)
Figures related to the owners’ contributions (capital stock, additional paid-in capital and irrevocable capital contributions) were translated applying the effective exchange rates as of the date on which such contributions were paid in.

 
c)
Retained earnings were estimated by the difference between assets, liabilities and owners’ contributions, translated into pesos, as indicated above.

 
d)
The amounts of the accounts in the statement of income for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, were converted into pesos, as described in (a) above. In both cases, the difference between the sum of the amounts thus obtained and lump-sum income (loss) for each period (difference between retained earnings at beginning of fiscal year and retained earnings at period-end) was recorded in “Other income – Income from long-term investments” and “Financial income – Difference in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency” or “Financial expense – Difference in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency”, as the case may be, in the stand-alone and consolidated financial statements, respectively.

The main figures included in the consolidated financial statements arising from the figures of Macro Bank Limited (consolidated with Sud Asesores (ROU) S.A.) as of September 30, 2011, considering the translation process mentioned above are as follows:

2.
INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

In addition to what was mentioned in Note 4 to the Bank´s stand alone financial Statements, the following shows the situation of the main subsidiaries.

As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, subsidiary Banco del Tucumán S.A. estimated income tax in the amount of 42,296 and 31,500, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed. In addition, as of September 30, 2011, the Bank capitalized income tax prepayments for 20,325 for 2011 tax year, which were recorded in the "Other receivables" account.

As of September 30, 2011, and 2010, subsidiary Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. did not set an income tax accrual as it estimated NOLs as of that date and, therefore, booked accrued minimum presumed income tax totaling 140 and 691, respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the subsidiary booked(i) a minimum presumed income tax credit of 3,563, which was fully accrued, (ii) a 341 credit tax for fiscal year 2010 and (iii) prepayments for an amount of 166 related to tax year 2011, which were booked under “Other receivables”.
