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 June 30, 2013, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-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 June 30, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the six-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 Buenos Aires City 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 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 six-month period ended June 30, 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 August 7, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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. 38,297,706, none of which was due as of that date.

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.

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2013

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

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

 

The share exchange relationship was agreed at 0.106195 of a common share of Banco Macro S.A. per common share of Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. Therefore, the minority shareholders of Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. will be entitled to receive 0.106195 shares of Banco Macro S.A. for each common share they hold in Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A.’s capital stock. Consequently, Banco Macro S.A. will issue 77,860 Class B shares of common stock with a face value of Ps 1, subject to the approvals by the appropriate agencies.

 

After the term within which the Bank’s creditors could file objections elapsed, the "final merger agreement" was signed on July 10, 2013.

 

Additionally, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the merger was pending approval by the Bank’s various oversight agencies.

  

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 June 30, 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 six-month period ended June 30, 2013, are presented comparatively with data for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Additionally, due to the modification of certain disclosure methods defined for certain items in the balance sheet, which do not materially affect the shareholders’ equity of the Bank, the financial statements as of December 31, 2012 were modified for the sole purpose of comparing them with the financial statements as of June 30, 2013.

  

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 JUNE 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the present value calculated by the Bank for these securities amounts to 515,276 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. 1,387/01 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 264,679 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.

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:

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.

 

h.3)Debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts:

 

i.Debt securities: they were valued as provided by the Central Bank Communiqué “A” 4414, at their cost value, increased exponentially by their internal rate of return, translated into pesos according to the method described in Note 3.5.a), as the case may be.

3.6.Statement of cash flows and cash equivalents

 

The Bank considers “cash and cash equivalents” to include the following accounts: Cash and Government and private securities which mature less than 90 days since their date of acquisition. Below is a breakdown of the reconciliation of the “Cash” item on the Statement of cash flows with the related balance sheet accounts:

 

   06/30/2013   12/31/2012   06/30/2012 
             
Cash   6,976,996    8,721,854    6,108,637 
                
Government and private securities               
                
Instruments issued by the Central Bank        20,026      
                
Cash and cash equivalents   6,976,996    8,741,880    6,108,637 

 

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 June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 529,000 and 426,400, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for periods ended on such dates.

 

Additionally, as of June 30, 2013, the Bank made income tax prepayments for 184,533 for the 2013 fiscal year, which will be applied to the tax amount assessed in the 2013 tax return.

(1)Additionally, according to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, individual and consolidated income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, would have increased by 97,388.

 

(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.

 

c)There are differences between the disclosure required by the Argentine professional accounting standards in the City of Buenos Aires and the disclosure made by the Bank regarding its income statement items, as this statement is prepared according to specific standards applicable to financial institutions.

The purpose of both trusts is to pay the certificates of participation in full once the receivables and promissory notes transferred by the trustor have been collected. Upon expiration of the trusts, the holders of Class “B” certificates of participation will receive the remaining receivables.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Bank is the direct beneficiary of 100% of the Class “A” certificates of participation issued by the trusts Frávega Créditos I and Frávega Créditos II.

 

According to the latest accounting information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the corpus assets totaled around 58,281.

 

(b)TST & AF Trust

 

On July 14, 1999, Austral Financial LLC, in its capacity as trustor, and First Trust of New York National Association, in its capacity as trustee, entered into a trust agreement known as TST & AF Financial Trust. On November 29, 2005, the trustor, the trustee and the beneficiaries (Austral Financial LLC, Proa del Puerto S.A. and Macro Bank Limited) agreed to replace the trustee by Macro Fiducia S.A.

 

The purpose of the trust is to develop a real estate project in Puerto Madero and subsequent sale thereof to settle the certificates of participation. Therefore, it will terminate 30 years after its execution date and/or the date in which the project is paid in full, sold or otherwise fully disposed of. In addition, as of December 31, 2012, the Bank was the direct beneficiary of 53.34% of the certificates of participation issued by the TST & AF Trust (see also Note 7.1.a) to the consolidated financial statements).

 

On May 15, 2013, the Trust redeemed the certificates of participation held by the Bank, which received property and cash as payment. This transaction did not materially impact in the income statement.

 

(c)Underwriting agreements

 

It relates to prepayments towards the placement price of trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings, made by the Bank through underwriting agreements (Consubond, Accicom and Pvcred). The assets managed for these trusts are mainly related to securitizations of consumer loans. Trust securities are placed once public offering is authorized by the CNV. Upon expiry of the placement period, once all trust securities have been placed on the market, the Bank recovers the disbursements made, plus an agreed-upon compensation (“underwriting Price”). If after making the best efforts, such trust securities cannot be placed, the Bank (“Underwriter”) will retain the securities subject to underwriting.

 

(d)Fideicomiso Loma Blanca

 

On December 6, 2011, Isolux Ingeniería S.A. and Isolux Corsán Argentina S.A. (trustors) and Nación Fideicomisos S.A. (trustee), set up the trust called “Fideicomiso Financiero Loma Blanca Serie I”.

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 that were originally used to finance the loans are obtained earlier.

 

As of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia S.A. (subsidiary) of this type of trusts total 7,595 and 7,147, respectively.

 

Additionally, Note 7.2. to the consolidated financial statements includes a list of those trusts with similar purposes to those included in this note, but created with corpus assets transferred by the Bank’s subsidiaries.

 

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, while displaying volatility in financial asset prices and increased interest rates. Also, there are some important variations in prices of other relevant economic variables, such as salary costs, the prices of major raw materials and the exchange rate, which may affect the interpretation of accounting information and financial position and income of companies in general. From a regulatory standpoint, regulations have increased and, in relation to the foreign exchange market in particular, since October 2011 the Government has imposed certain restrictions on access to the free exchange market (MULC), which is the only market established by Argentine regulations for buying and selling foreign currency. Finally, on December 27, 2012, a new Capital Markets Law was enforced, regulated by Presidential Decree No. 1,023/2013 dated July 29, 2013, leaving the CNV as enforcement authority, with the ability to issue additional rules and clarifications that are necessary to implement the provisions of the Law.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2013

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

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

 

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 on 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 June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank recorded the additional payables related to such regulation under the “Provisions” account in the amount of 11,739 and 10,719 at the stand-alone level, respectively, and a total of 18,824 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)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, 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, among other items.

 

Lastly, the maximum amount to be distributed cannot exceed the excess payments of the required capital minimum considering, for this purpose only, an increasing adjustment of 75% of the required amount and deducting the abovementioned adjustments.

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish –

See note 22 to the stand-alone financial statements)

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos)

 

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