REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM-PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

To the Directors of

BANCO MACRO S.A.

Registered office: Sarmiento 447

City of Buenos Aires

 

I.Report on the financial statements

 

Introduction

 

1.We have reviewed (a) the accompanying interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. (“the Bank”), (b) the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the related balance sheets as of June 30, 2016, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows and cash equivalents for the six-month period then ended, and (c) a summary of the significant accounting policies and additional explanatory information.

 

Responsibility of the Bank’s Management and Board of Directors in connection with the financial statements

 

2.The Bank’s Management and Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina) and are also responsible for performing the internal control procedures that they may deem necessary to allow for the preparation of interim-period financial statements that are free from material misstatements, either due to errors or irregularities.

 

 

 

 

Auditor’s responsibility

 

3.Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial statements based on our review, which was performed in accordance with the standards of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences Technical Resolution No. 37 and with the “Minimum external auditing standards” issued by the BCRA, applicable to the review of interim period financial statements, and in compliance with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the Bank’s annual financial statements. A review of interim period financial statements consists of making inquiries, mainly of the persons in charge of accounting and financial matters, as well as applying analytical procedures and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit of financial statements; therefore, we cannot obtain reasonable assurance that we will become aware of all the material issues that may arise in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion

 

4.Based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that the accompanying financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA.

 

Emphasis on certain issues disclosed in the financial statements

 

5.We draw attention to note 5 to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements describing and quantifying the main differences in measurement criteria resulting from comparing BCRA accounting standards used in preparing the accompanying financial statements and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in Buenos Aires City. This issue does not modify the conclusion expressed in paragraph 4, but the differences identified should be taken into account by those using the abovementioned professional accounting standards to interpret the accompanying financial statements.

 

6.As further explained in note 24. the accounting standards established by the BCRA which were used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements and the Argentine professional accounting standards mentioned in the preceding paragraph may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

 

 

 

 

II.Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

 

In compliance with current legal requirements, we report that:

 

a)Based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the applicable Argentine General Associations Law provisions and the CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) regulations.

 

b)The financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. have been transcribed to the “Inventory and Financial Statements” Books and arise from the accounting books kept, in all formal respects, pursuant to current legal requirements.

 

c)As of June 30, 2016, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 89,066,848, none of which was due as of that date.

 

d)As of June 30, 2016, as stated in note 17.1. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements, the Bank carries shareholder´s equity and offsetting eligible assets that exceed the minimum amounts required by applicable CNV regulations for these items.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2016

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 24)

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

 

3.3.Unit of measurement

 

The Bank’s financial statements recognize the changes in the peso purchasing power until February 28, 2003, when the adjustments to reflect those changes were discontinued, as provided by the professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires and as required by Presidential Decree 664/2003, Article N° 312 of General Resolution No. 7/2015 of the Business Association Regulatory Agency, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921 and CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) General Resolution No. 441.

 

However, the interpretation of the financial statements should consider the fact that, in recent fiscal years, there have been significant changes in the prices for relevant economic variables, such as salary cost, interest and exchange rates.

 

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.

 

3.5.Valuation methods

 

The main valuation methods used to prepare the accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and December 31, 2015, 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, translated into pesos, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable.

 

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

 

As set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, except what is mentioned in the third paragraph, 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, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable. The acquisition value previously mentioned is related to the present value of each security at acquisition date.

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the present value calculated by the Bank for these securities amounted to 1,468,537 and 796,534, respectively.

 

As required under Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5506, BAADEs (Argentine saving bonds for the economy development) were valued at acquisition cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a).

AS OF JUNE 30, 2016

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 24)

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

 

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, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable. The accruals of the internal rate of return mentioned above were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

b.5)Private Securities – Investment in listed private securities:

 

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.

 

c)Guaranteed loans – Presidential Decree No. 1387/2001:

 

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. 1387/01 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 640,008 and 533,962, 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)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”.

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.

Cash and cash equivalents   24,196,634    18,907,789    10,854,863 

 

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 and considering what is established by Law No. 27,260, such tax is effective for the fiscal years ended up to December 31, 2018. 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 1% over 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, 2016 and 2015, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 1,541,000 and 1,023,000, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for the six-month periods ended on such dates.

5.DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CENTRAL BANK RULES AND THE ARGENTINE PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS EFFECTIVE IN THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES

 

Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires differ, in certain valuation aspects, from the accounting standards established by Central Bank of Argentina.

 

The main items with differences in valuation matters as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

   Adjustments under professional accounting standards 
   Stand-alone financial statements   Consolidated financial statements

(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, 2015, would have increased by 88,944.

 

(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, current Central Bank 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 24)

(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 year 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)Subsidiary Banco del Tucumán SA prepares 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 books the effects of the Argentine Supreme Court (CSJN) 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.

 

6.IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

 

On February 12, 2014 the Central Bank, through Communiqué “A” 5541 established the general guidelines towards conversion to the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for preparing financial statements of the entities under its supervision, for the annual fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018 as well as those of interim-periods.

 

According to such conversion process, on March 27, 2015, the Bank presented to the Central Bank, their own implementation plan together with the appointment of a person in charge, according to Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5635, which was considered and approved by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2015. Additionally, on September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the Bank presented to the Central Bank the implementation plan update.

 

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Bank is implementing the abovementioned IFRS conversion process.

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed by the Bank and Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) amounted to 195,653 and 176,113, respectively.

 

16.4Trusts in which the Bank acts as trustee (management)

 

The Bank performs management duties of the corpus assets directly according to the agreements, performing only 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:

c)City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to Banco Macro SA for fiscal 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 by the Federal Court of First Instance in Countentios and Administrative No. 6, which was confirmed by the Sala IV of the CNACAF.

 

d)City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to former Banco Privado de Inversiones for fiscal periods 2002 and 2003. On October 19, 2015, Courtroom II of the Administrative and Tax Contentious Court of Appeals confirmed the trial court decision as it agreed with the Bank in that the “compensation bond” is not subject to turnover tax. On December 21, 2015, the Bank was notified that the Buenos Aires City Government filed an action for declaration of unconstitutionality with the Buenos Aires City Highest Court, which is pending resolution. In 2009, the Buenos Aires City Government filed a collection claim and obtained an attachment for 827 (see also Note 8).

 

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

 

20.2.Moreover, as a result of a lawsuit filed in 2007 by consumers’ association “ADECUA” claiming about various aspects related to the collection of the “life insurance” charge for products marketed by former Banco Privado de Inversiones SA, on November 29, 2010, the parties reached a settlement agreement, approved by the Federal Commercial Court in and for the City of Buenos Aires No. 3, clerk’s office No. 5, and complied with by the Bank.

 

However, on March 22, 2013, the judge hearing the case ordered to adjust the performance of the agreement, as regards the reimbursement of the funds to the customers from whom the charge had been collected, a resolution which was appealed by the Bank.

 

On April 24, 2014, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeals filed and changed what was resolved in First Instance, ordered the Agreement nullity, to continue with the proceeding and to allow the Bank to answer the complaint. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank. The file is in the CSJN, pending resolution.

 

Additionally, there are other claims filed by consumers’ associations against the Bank, related to collection of certain financial fees.

 

The Bank’s Management and its tax and legal 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.

 

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

 

The international and local macroeconomic context generates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress as a result of the volatility of financial assets, the foreign exchange market and the economic level growth, among other issues, which has been observed globally with various degrees of intensity and different behavior, over the last few years. In addition, at a local level, there is high volatility of government and private securities and in interest rates, as well as somewhat increase significant changes in the prices for other relevant economic variables, such as salary costs, the prices of the main raw materials and the exchange rate. In addition, the claim against the Argentine Government by holders of government securities who did not join the debt restructuring carried out in 2005 and 2010, which has generated consequences in the interest payment service of certain government securities, is on a final stage.

 

Specifically in connection with the Argentine foreign exchange market, from October 2011 through mid-December 2015, there were certain restrictions to access the MUyLC (single and freely-floating foreign exchange market), the only market approved by Argentine regulations for purchasing and selling foreign exchange. As from that date, the new authorities of the Federal Government made appropriate amendments to current foreign exchange regulations, while there was a significant Argentine peso depreciation with respect to the US dollar.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2016

(Translation of financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 24)

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

 

The Federal Government has also implemented new monetary and tax policies, releasing regulations of lending and borrowing rates, restrictions to foreign currency positions and operations involving foreign-currency futures at the different markets, among others.

 

Therefore, the Bank’s Management permanently monitors the change of the abovementioned situations in international and local markets, to determine the possible actions to adopt and to identify the possible impacts on its financial situation that may need to be reflected in the financial statements for future periods.

 

22.RESTRICTION ON EARNINGS DISTRIBUTION

 

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

 

b)As established in the issuance conditions for the instruments representing long term debt mentioned in Note 11.a.1), the Shareholders’ Meeting” must set a special reserve for the interest to be paid upon the maturities, taking place in June and December 2016.

 

c)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 a single and definitive payment. For this purpose, income to be considered in each year will result from adding dividends or earnings from other corporations not computed in the calculation of those earnings in the same tax period(s) to the earnings determined under application of Income Tax Law, and deducting the tax paid for the tax period(s) in which the earnings, or the related proportional amount, being distributed were generated.

 

d)Through Communiqué “A” 6013, the Central Bank establishes the general procedure to distribute earnings. According to that procedure, earnings may only be distributed previously express authorization of the Central Bank, and only if the following circumstances are met like not records of financial assistance from the Central Bank due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital or minimum cash requirement deficiencies, there are no certain sanctions established by regulators entities and weighted to be significant, and/or no corrective measures have been applied, among other previous conditions listed in the abovementioned communiqué.

 

Therefore, earnings may only be distributed to the extent that income was booked, after deducting, on a nonaccounting basis, from unappropriated retained earnings and the voluntary reserve for future distribution of earnings, the amounts of the legal, statutory and/or voluntary 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 monetary regulation instruments issued by the Central Bank not valued at market value and the amounts recognized in the bank assets due to court cases related to deposits, among other items.

 

Finally, the Bank shall verify whether –after the proposed earning distribution– a capital maintenance margin equal to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets is kept, apart from the minimum capital required by regulations, to be integrated by of level-1 ordinary capital (COn1), net of deductible items (CDCOn1).

 

e)Under CNV General Resolution No. 593, the Shareholders’ Meeting in charge of analyzing the annual financial statements will be required to establish a specific use for the Bank’s retained earnings, whether through the actual distribution of dividends, the capitalization thereof through the delivery of bonus shares, the creation of voluntary reserves additional to the legal reserve or a combination of any of these applications.

 

Among other issues, the Shareholders´ Meeting held on April 23, 2015, decided to distribute cash dividends up to the amount of 596,254. On February 24, 2016 the Central Bank informed the Bank the authorization for the cash dividends distribution for an amount of 227,708 related to the fiscal year 2014, which were paid on March 29, 2016.

 

In addition, the Shareholders´ Meeting held on April 26, 2016 decided, among other issues, to distribute cash dividends up to the amount of 643,019, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. On May 27, 2016, the Central Bank informed the cash distribution authorization.

 

On May 30, 2016 the Board of Directors decided to postpone for 60 days the payment of the abovemention cash dividends. Additionally, the Board of Directors on its meeting held on August 1, 2016, decided to make available the cash dividends to the beneficiaries on August 17, 2016.
