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 March 31, 2013, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. We have also performed a limited review of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-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 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 stand-alone 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 Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires 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 established 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 anything that may lead us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA and, except for the effect of the issue mentioned in the third paragraph, with the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires.

 

6.With respect to the balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, which were presented for comparative purposes, we report that:

 

a)On February 14, 2013, we issued an audit report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, in which we expressed a qualified opinion due to differences between accounting standards established by the BCRA and used by the Bank, and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, which are described and quantified in note 5. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements. We have not audited any financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2012.

b)On May 10, 2012, we issued a limited review report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, which included qualifications due to differences between accounting standards established by the BCRA and used by the Bank, and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, which are described and quantified in note 5. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements.

 

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

 

a)The financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been transcribed into 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 March 31, 2013, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 28,148,503, none of which was due as of that date.

Macro Compañía Financiera S.A. was created in 1977 as a non-banking financial institution. In May 1988, it received the authorization to operate as a commercial bank and it was incorporated as Banco Macro S.A. Subsequently, as a result of the merger process with other entities, it adopted other names (among them, Banco Macro Bansud S.A.) and since August 2006, Banco Macro S.A. (hereinafter, the Bank).

 

The Bank´s shares have been publicly listed on the BCBA (Buenos Aires Stock Exchange) since November 1994, and as from March 24, 2006, they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

 

Since 1994, Banco Macro S.A.’s market strategy was mainly focused on the regional areas outside the City of Buenos Aires. Following this strategy, in 1996, Banco Macro S.A. started the process to acquire entities and assets and liabilities during the privatization of provincial and other banks.

 

In 2001, 2004, and 2006, the Bank acquired the control of Banco Bansud S.A., Nuevo Banco Suquía S.A., and Nuevo Banco Bisel S.A., respectively.

During fiscal years 2006 and 2010, Banco Macro S.A. acquired control over Banco del Tucumán S.A. and Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. (see note 2.6).

 

The Bank currently offers traditional bank products and services to companies, including those operating in regional economies, as well as to individuals, thus reinforcing the Bank's objective to be a multi-services bank.

 

In addition, the Bank performs certain transactions through its subsidiaries, Banco del Tucumán S.A., Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A., Macro Bank Limited (an entity organized under the laws of Bahamas), Macro Securities S.A. Sociedad de Bolsa, Macro Fiducia S.A. and Macro Fondos SGFCI S.A.

3.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These financial statements, which are taken from the Bank’s books of account, are stated in thousands of pesos and have been prepared in accordance with Central Bank rules and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires (see Note 5).

 

3.1.Consolidated financial statements

 

As required under Central Bank rules, the Bank presents consolidated financial statements with its subsidiaries Banco del Tucumán S.A., Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A., Macro Bank Limited, Macro Securities S.A. Sociedad de Bolsa, Macro Fiducia S.A. and Macro Fondos SGFCI S.A. as supplementary information.

 

3.2.Comparative information

 

As required under Central Bank rules, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, 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 three month period ended March 31, 2013, are presented comparatively with data for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

3.3.Unit of measurement

 

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 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.

 

3.4.Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

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 fiscal years.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2013

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

 

3.5.Valuation methods

 

The main valuation methods used to prepare the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2013, and 2012 and December 31, 2012, were as follows:

 

a)Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency:

 

The assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars were valued at Central Bank benchmark US dollar exchange rate effective as of the closing date of transactions on the last respective business day. 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 related statements of income.

 

b)Government and private securities:

 

b.1)Government securities - Holdings booked at market value:

 

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 related statements of income.

 

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

 

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 at acquisition date.

 

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the present value calculated by the Bank for these securities amounts to 261,341 and 352,521, respectively.

 

b.3)Listed Instruments issued by the Central Bank – Holdings booked at market value:

 

They were valued at the quoted price as of the last respective business day. Differences in quoted prices were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

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

 

Holdings 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 recorded in the related statements of income.

 

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

 

As set forth in Central Bank Communiqués “A” 4898, “A” 5180, 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 the benchmark stabilization coefficient (CER), net of the related offset account, compared in turn with the present values reported by the Central Bank.

 

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 295,398 and 272,589, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2013

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See note 22)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except for where indicated)

 

e)CER accrual:

 

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

 

e.1)Guaranteed loans: as explained in Note 3.5.c).

 

e.2)Deposits and other assets and liabilities: The CER as of the last respective business day was applied.

 

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.

 

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 recorded directly in the related statements of 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”.

 

g)Loans and deposits of Government securities:

 

They were valued at the quoted price as of the last respective business day, plus the related accrued interest. Differences in quoted prices and accrued interest were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

h)Other receivables from financial intermediation and Other liabilities from financial intermediation:

 

h.1)Amounts receivable from spot and forward sales pending settlement and amounts payable for spot and forward purchases pending settlement:

 

They were valued based on the prices agreed upon for each transaction, plus related premiums accrued.

 

h.2)Securities and foreign currency to be received for spot and forward purchases pending settlement and to be delivered for spot and forward sales pending settlement:

 

i.With volatility (active market): they were valued at the effective quoted prices for each of them at the last respective business day. Differences in quoted prices were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

ii.Without volatility (without active market): they were valued at their cost value increased exponentially by their internal rate of return. Such accruals were recorded in the related statements of income.

iii.Certificates of participation in TST & AF Trust: they were valued by the equity method, considering the residual value of the goodwill arising from the excess of the investment cost over its book value.

i)Receivables from financial leases:

 

In accordance with Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5047, as supplemented, they were valued according to the discounted value of the sum of minimum installments pending collection (excluding any contingent installments), from the previously agreed residual value and the purchase options, for the financial lease agreements in which the Bank acts as lessor. The discounted value is calculated by applying the imputed interest rate of each lease agreement.

 

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the effective financial lease agreements do not represent significant amounts with respect to the total financing granted by the Bank. Additionally, their characteristics are among the usual ones for this kind of transactions, and there are no differentiating issues of any kind compared with the transactions agreed on the Argentine financial market. These transactions are distributed among the Bank’s customers, and there are no pre established contingent installments or automatic renewal clauses.

 

j)Investments in other companies:

 

j.1)In controlled financial institutions, supplementary and authorized activities: they were valued by the equity method.

 

j.2)In non-controlled financial institutions, supplementary and authorized activities:

ii.In foreign currency: they were valued at the acquisition cost in foreign currency, plus the nominal value of share-dividends received, translated into pesos in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Such net values do not exceed the values calculated by the equity method on the basis of the latest financial statements published by the companies.

 

j.3)In other non-controlled companies: they were valued at acquisition cost, plus the nominal value of share-dividends received, restated as described in Note 3.3, as the case may be, net of allowances for impairment in value. Such net values do not exceed the values calculated by the equity method on the basis of the latest financial statements published by the companies.

 

k)Bank premises and equipment and other assets:

 

They were valued at their acquisition cost, restated as explained in Note 3.3, less the related accumulated depreciation calculated based on their estimated useful life using the straight line method.

4.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 March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 263,000 and 200,400, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for fiscal years ended on such dates.

 

Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, the Bank made income tax prepayments for 578,340 for the 2012 fiscal year, which will be applied to the tax amount assessed in the 2012 tax return.

(1)Additionally, according to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, individual and consolidated income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, would have increased by 61,148.

 

(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 3.5.b.2), 3.5.b.4) and 3.5.c). Pursuant to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, 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 financing to the nonfinancial government sector is not subject to loan-loss provisioning, whereas the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires require that assets in general to be compared with their recoverable value every time financial statements are prepared.

(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 and, if the purchase price exceeds the book value, the excess amount is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a positive goodwill. On the other hand, if the purchase price is lower than book value, the difference is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a negative goodwill. If the 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 the goodwill is negative, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3984 establishes specific amortization methods; the maximum amortization allowed per annum is 20%.

 

According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, business combinations are recorded based on the market values of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets and the difference between the purchase price and the identifiable net asset measurement value is recorded as either a positive or a negative goodwill, as the case may be. If a positive goodwill is recognized, this goodwill will be amortized systematically over the estimated useful life, unless it has an indefinite useful life considering the estimates made by the Bank´s Management, in which case it shall not be amortized, but compared with its recoverable value as of each year-end. If a negative goodwill is recognized due to expected losses or future expenses of the acquired entity and which should not have been recorded as liabilities as of the acquisition date, it will either be charged to the statement of income according to the change in specific circumstances that gave rise to it or systematically, taking into account an average weighted useful life of the acquired entity’s assets subject to depreciation and amortization.

 

(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 the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires.

 

(d)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 the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, income tax should be booked following the deferred tax method, according to which (i) in addition to the current tax payable, either an asset (if certain conditions are met) or a liability is recognized for deferred taxes related to the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax valuation of assets and liabilities, and (ii) a tax expense (income) is recognized in relation to the portion involving the current tax expense (income) as well as the one involving the deferred tax expense (income), resulting from the creation and reversal of the abovementioned temporary differences in the year. Under Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, a deferred tax asset is recognized when there are unused NOLs or tax credits that can be deducted from future taxable income, provided they are likely.

 

(e)The Bank recorded interest rate swap agreements in conformity with the Central Bank accounting standards under memorandum accounts. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the measurement of derivative financial instruments should be made at their net realizable value if they have quoted prices, or lacking this, using mathematical models that are appropriate in relation to the instrument’s characteristics and using variables that can be verified.

 

(f)The Bank books the effects of the Argentine Supreme Court rulings dated December 27, 2006, and August 28, 2007, upon payment of such precautionary measures, in conformity with Central Bank indications in the notice dated August 4, 2008. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the Bank should have recorded a liability related to this item.

 

5.2.Disclosure standards

 

a)The Bank did not classify its assets and liabilities as current or noncurrent based on the time they are expected to be turned into cash or cash equivalents or on the time when the latter become due and payable, as required by the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires.

 

b)There are differences between the cash flow information disclosed and the requirements established by the Argentine professional accounting standard effective in the City of Buenos Aires such as the lack of segregation of the interest earned and paid by the Bank, considering that this statement is prepared according to specific standards applicable to financial institutions.

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.

18.TAX CLAIMS

 

The AFIP (Federal Public Revenue Agency) and provincial tax authorities have reviewed the tax returns filed by the Bank related to income tax, minimum presumed income tax and other taxes (mainly turnover tax) for the fiscal years prior to 2005.

 

The most significant effective claims arising from the previous paragraph 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 matter under discussion that as yet has not been resolved and on which the regulatory agency bases its position is the impossibility of deducting credits that have collateral security, an issue that has been addressed by the Federal Administrative Tax Court and the Argentine Supreme Court in similar cases, which have issued resolutions that are favorable to the Bank’s position.

 

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 AND CAPITAL SYSTEM AND THE BANK

 

The financial and capital markets

 

The international macroeconomic context generates a certain degree of uncertainty with regard to how it will evolve in the future, due to the shrinking growth levels, the volatility of financial assets and of the exchange market, and the higher unemployment rates, among other matters. Locally, over the past few years the economy has reflected, on average, sustained growth and the main economic and financial indicators point to a situation that differs from the one mentioned above. However, certain variables affecting the Bank’s costs have been subject to significant changes. In the last few months, the prices of financial assets have also shown high volatility, as well as an increase in the price of money. From a regulatory point of view, foreign exchange regulations have increased and a new Capital Markets Law has been enforced, which shall become effective as soon as its administrative order is issued.

 

Given all of the above, the Bank’s Management permanently monitors the changes in the abovementioned situations in the international and local markets, to determine the possible actions to be taken and to identify the potential effects over its assets 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 amparoconstitutional 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.

 

Additionally, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank recorded the additional payables related to such regulation under the “Provisions” account in the amount of 11,166 and 10,719 at the stand-alone level, respectively, and a total of 17,771 and 17,112 at consolidated level, respectively. 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)Among other issues, the Regular Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 11, 2013, decided as follows:

 

a.1)Apply 298,724 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set the legal reserve related to 20% of income for the year ended December 31, 2012, according to Central Bank standards.

 

a.2)Apply 71,916 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set a special reserve for interest to be paid upon the maturities taking place in June and December 2013, as established in the issuance conditions for the 1st series of Class 1 Corporate Bonds mentioned in note 10.a.1) and as established by Central Bank Communiqué "A" 4576.

 

a.3)Apply 1,170,681 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set an optional reserve for future distributions of earnings, as established in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5273.

 

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, from unappropriated retained earnings and the voluntary reserve for future distribution of 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.
