In compliance with IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” and since the accompanying condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements are the first ones being submitted pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 of the Central Bank, we include the opening Balance sheet to the transition date (December 31, 2016).

 

Unit of measure

 

IFRS require the restatement in functional currency of an entity’s financial statements when the functional currency used is that of an economy considered to be a high-inflation or a hyperinflationary economy. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment requiring the restatement of financial statements, IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” establishes certain qualitative indicators and a quantitative factor, which is considered to be relevant by international practices; and it arises when the three-year cumulative inflation rate is around 100% or more; this also requires assessing whether it is not the result of a circumstantial event that may be reversed in the short term. To quantify the inflation rate, IAS 29 requires the use of a general price index reflecting the changes in the currency’s general purchasing power. In Argentina, the certified professional accountants and corporate regulators agree that the most appropriate index to such end is the internal wholesale price index (WPI) prepared by the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos (INDEC). This consensus is driven by the fact that the WPI combines several specific indexes that altogether cover a wider basket than the remaining price indicators, and also its geographic scope includes the data gathered in different areas across the country. The three-year cumulative inflation measured based on the WPI maintained in 2017 a downward trend as compared to 2016, and the three-year cumulative inflation rate was below 100%. However, this trend was reversed during the first half of 2018 due to factors such as the exchange rate devaluation and the continuity of the public services tariffs adjustment process, as well as the unfavorable international context in terms of financing. In this scenario, the three-year cumulative inflation rate as of June 30, 2018, exceeds 100%; and the new goals reviewed by the Argentine government and other available projections indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term. Therefore, under IAS 29, the Argentine economy should be considered hyperinflationary as of June 30, 2018. Consequently, the entities under the Central Bank control that are required to apply the IFRSs adopted by the Central Bank through Communiqué “A” 6114 and the functional currency of which is the Argentine peso should restate their financial statements as from the first applicable period, which in the case of the Bank is July 1, 2018. However, the requirements of IAS 29 will be met provided that certain changes are made to the BCRA’s regulations on the impossibility of using the method for restating the financial statements in constant currency, pursuant to the Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921, which resulted from Presidential Decree No. 664/2003.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2018

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 36)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

The requirements of IAS 29 consist in restating the financial statements so that they consider the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency to ensure they are stated in the current unit of measure as of the end of the reported period. These requirements also comprise the comparative information of the financial statements.

 

To sum up, the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 establishes that monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated, as they are already stated in terms of the current unit of measure as of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted in accordance with such agreements. There is no need to restate the non-monetary items measured at their market values as of the end of the reporting period, such as the net realization value, among others. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated using a general price index. Gains or losses resulting from the net monetary position will be included in net income (loss) for the reporting period.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the Bank´s Management is analyzing the requirements under IAS 29.

 

First-time adoption of IFRSs under Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6114

 

According with Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6324, below are presented reconciliations of the consolidated equity as of June 30, 2017 and the consolidated net income for the six-month and three-month periods ended on that date. The consolidated equity and the consolidated net income reconciliations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (date of transition) and 2017, were included in the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2018, already issued.

 

In preparing these reconciliations, the Bank’s Management has considered the applicable IFRSs to the presentation of the first annual consolidated Financial Statements that are the first consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6114, for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2018. However, items and figures included in these reconciliations could be amended. The items and figures included in these reconciliations could be amended to the extent that, upon the preparation of those first annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS adopted by the Central Bank through Communique “A” 6114, new standards are issued or current standards are amended, with mandatory or early application as of that date, or it is opted to change the selection of any of the exemptions under IFRS 1 “First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. As a general rule, the Central Bank does not admit early application of any IFRS, unless it is specified otherwise.

 

The optional exemptios and the obligatory exceptions, chosen by the Bank, related with the non-retroactive application of certain IFRS and the main transitions adjustments, have been disclosed, in detail, in the condensed consolidated Financial Statement for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2018, already issued.

New pronouncements

 

Pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 of the Central Bank, as new IFRS are approved and existing IFRS are amended or revoked and, once these changes are approved through Notices of Approval issued by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCA for its Spanish acronym), the Central Bank shall issue a statement on the approval thereof for financial entities. Generally, financial entities shall not apply any IFRS in advance, except specifically authorized at the time of the approval thereof. In this case, the Bank shall adopt the following standards:

 

·IFRS 16 “Leases”: such standard eliminates the dual accounting method for lessees that distinguishes between finance leases recognized within the Financial statements and operating leases for which future lease payments are not required to be recognized, Instead, it develops a single model, within the balance sheet, which is similar to the present finance lease, As to lessor, the standard maintains the present practice –i,e,, lessors keep on classifying leases as finance and operating leases.

 

·IFRIC 12 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”. This interpretation clarifies how to apply the recongnition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 “Income tax” when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.

 

These standards are applicable to fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2019. The Bank does not expect the above described standards to have a material impact on the consolidated Financial Statements.

 

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

In order to meet specific financial needs of customers, the Bank’s credit policy also includes, among others, the granting of guarantees, securities, bonds, letters of credit and documentary credits. Although these transactions are not recognized in the balance sheet, since they imply a possible obligation or liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to additional credit risk to those recognized in the balance sheet and are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Bank maintains the following contingent transactions:

 

   06/30/2018   12/31/2017   12/31/2016 
             
Overdraft and unused agreed credits   839,311    255,710    191,007 
Guarantees granted   697,621    253,350    287,497 
Liabilities for foreign trade transactions   203,399    90,274    163,308 
    1,740,331    599,334    641,812 

 

Risks related to the contingent transactions described above have been evaluated and are controlled within the framework of the Bank’s credit risk policy described in Note 41 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statemetns as of March 31, 2018, already issued.

 

5.FAIR VALUE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

 

The fair value is the amount at which an asset can be exchanged, or at which a liability can be settled, in mutual independent terms and conditions between participants of the principal market (or most advantageous market) duly informed and willing to transact in an orderly and current transaction, at the measurement date in the current market conditions whether the price is directly observable or estimated using a valuation technique under the assumption that the Bank is an ongoing business.

 

When a financial instrument is quoted in a liquid and active market, its price in the market in a real transaction provides the most reliable evidence of its fair value, Nevertheless, when there is no quoted price in the market or it cannot be an evidence of the fair value of such instrument, in order to determine such fair value, the entities may use the market value of another instrument with similar characteristics, the analysis of discounted cash flows or other applicable techniques, which shall be significantly affected by the assumptions used.

 

Notwithstanding the above, the Bank’s Management has used its best judgment to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments, any technique to perform such estimate implies certain inherent fragility level, In conclusion, the fair value may not be indicative of the net realizable value or settlement value.

Fair value hierarchy

 

The Bank uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments, according to the valuation technique applied:

 

-Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) observable in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

-Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly in the markets.

 

-Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the data and variables having a significant impact on the determination of the fair value recognized or disclosed are not based on observable market information.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2018

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Description of valuation process

 

The fair value of instruments categorized as Level 1 was assessed by using quoted prices effective at the end of each reporting period or fiscal year, as applicable, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, if representative. At present, for government and private securities, there are two principal markets in which the Bank operates, to wit: BYMA and MAE. Additionally, in the case of derivatives, both MAE and Mercado a Término de Rosario SA (ROFEX) are deemed active markets.

 

On the other hand, for certain assets and liabilities that do not have an active market, categorized as Level 2, the Bank used valuation techniques that included the use of market transactions performed under mutual independent terms and conditions, between interested and duly informed parties, provided there are any available, as well as references to the current fair value of other instrument being substantially similar, or otherwise the analysis of cash flows discounted at rates built from market information of similar instruments.

 

In addition, certain assets and liabilities included in this categorization were valued using identical price quotes of identical instruments in “less active markets”.

 

Finally, the Bank has categorized as level 3 those assets and liabilities for which there are no identical or similar transactions in the market. In order to determine the market value of these instruments, the Bank used valuation techniques based on its own assumptions, which are similar to those that would be used by any other market participant. For this approach, the Bank mainly used the cash flow discount model.

 

As of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Bank has neither changed the techniques nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.

 

Below is presented the reconciliation between the balances at the beginning and the end of the period of the financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value, using the valuation techniques based on the Bank’s own assumptions, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

AS OF JUNE 30, 2018

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 36)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

Instruments measured as level 3, include mainly debt securities and certificate of participation in financial trust, for which, the construction of fair values was obtained based on the Bank’s own assumptions that are not easily observable in the market. The most significant assumption was the placement cutoff rate of such instruments in the market at the end of the period, used to determine the actual value of cash flows.

 

Any increase (decrease) in these assumptions, considered separately, would derive in a higher or lower fair value.

 

Changes in fair value levels

 

The Bank monitors the availability of information in the market to evaluate the classification of financial instruments into the fair value hierarchy, as well as the resulting determination of transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 at each period end.

 

As of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Bank has not recognized any transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Financial assets and liabilities not recognized at fair value

 

Next follows a description the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values of financial instruments no recognized at their fair value in the accompanying Financial Statements:

 

-Assets with fair value similar to the carrying amount: financial assets and liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturities (less than three months) were deemed to have a fair value similar to the carrying amount.

 

-Fixed-rate financial instruments: The fair value of financial assets was recognized discounting future cash flows at current market rates, for each fiscal year, for financial instruments of similar characteristics. The estimated fair value of fixed-interest rate deposits was assessed discounting future cash flows by using market interest rates for deposits with similar maturities to those of the Bank’s portfolio.

 

Quoted assets and issued quoted liabilities the fair value was determined based on market prices.

 

-Other financial instruments: financial assets and liabilities that are liquid or have short-term maturities were deemed to have a fair value similar to the carrying amount. This assumption also applies to deposits in savings accounts, checking accounts and others.

 

The following table shows a comparison between the fair value and the carrying amount of financial instruments not measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016:

24.TRUST ACTIVITIES

 

The Bank is related to several types of trusts. The different trust agreements according to the business purpose sought by the Bank, are disclosed below:

 

24.1.Financial trusts for investment purposes

 

Debt securities include mainly prepayments towards the placement price of trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings, made by the Bank through underwriting agreements (Consubond, Garbarino, Accicom, Secubono, Mila, Credicuotas Consumo, Credimas and Pvcred, Naldo Lombardi). The assets managed for these trusts are mainly related to securitizations of consumer loans. Trust securities are placed once the 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.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts administrated by the Bank for investment purpose, total to 1,029,235, 1,011,828 and 730,672, respectively.

 

According to the latest accounting information available as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the corpus assets of the trusts exceed the carrying amount in the related proportions.

 

24.2.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 for which collection 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 69,806, 116,697 and 59,128, respectively.

 

24.3.Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

30.TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

30.1.Tax claims

 

The AFIP (Federal Public Revenue Agency) and tax authorities of the relevant jurisdictions have reviewed the tax returns filed by the Bank related to income tax, minimum presumed income tax and other taxes (mainly gross turnover tax). As a result, there are claims pending at court and/or administrative levels, either subject to discussion or appeal. The most significant claims are summarized below:

 

a)AFIP´s Challenges against the income tax returns filed by former Banco Bansud SA (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 former Banco Macro SA (for the fiscal years ended since December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000).

 

The matter under discussion that has not been resolved as yet 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 CSJN in similar cases, which have issued resolutions that are favorable to the Bank’s position.

 

b)Ex-officio gross turnover tax assessments in progress and/or adjustments pending resolution by the tax authorities of certain jurisdiction.

c)On February 20, 2018, the AFIP required the Bank to amend the returns in connection with Employer’s Contributions for the period between November, 2012 to December, 2016, or otherwise explain the reasons why it had applied the tax rate set forth in Section 2b) of Presidential Decree No. 814/01 (text as per Section 9 of Law No. 25,453). On March 14, 2018, the Bank submitted a detailed explanation of the grounds supporting its position. As of the date hereof, the Bank has not received an answer from AFIP. In the understanding of the bank´s management and its tax and legal advisors, no amount for Employer’s Contributions should be claimed for the indicated periods.

 

The Bank’s Management and its legal advisors consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the above mentioned proceedings other than those disclosed in the accompanying Condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements.

 

30.2.Other claims

 

In addition, before merging with and into the Bank, Banco Privado de Inversiones (BPI) had a pending class action styled “Adecua v, Banco Privado de Inversiones on ordinary proceedings”, File No. 19073/2007, before Commercial Court No. 3 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 5, whereby it was required to reimburse to its clients the life insurance amounts overcharged to amounts payable, as well as to reduce the amounts charged in this regard in the future; this legal proceeding was concluded upon the abovementioned merger because BPI complied in full with the terms of the court-approved agreement reached with Adecua before answering the complaint. However, in March 2013, when BPI had already been merged with and into the Bank, the trial court resolved to amend the terms of the agreement and ordered the reimbursement of amounts of money to a larger number of clients as compared to the number arising from the terms approved by the court in due time. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank as BPI’s surviving company. The appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals, which abrogated both the trial court decision and the court-approved agreement, thus ordering the Bank to answer the complaint. This gave rise to the filing of an extraordinary appeal against such decision, as well as the subsequent filing of a complaint for the extraordinary appeal denied. It is currently pending with the Argentine Supreme Court.

 

Moreover, the Bank is also subject to three lawsuits filed with consumers’ associations for the same purpose: a) Adecua v, Banco Macro on ordinary proceedings, File No. 20495/2007, pending with Commercial Court No. 26 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 52; b) Damnificados Financieros Asociación Civil Para Su Defensa et al v, Banco Macro on summary proceedings, File No. 37729/2007, pending with Commercial Court No. 26 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 52; c) Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores v, Nuevo Banco Bisel on ordinary proceedings, File No. 44704/2008, pending with Commercial Court No. 26 in and for the City of Buenos Aires, Clerk’s Office No. 52.

 

There are also other lawsuits filed by consumer protections associations in relation to the collection of certain commissions and/or financial charges and certain withholdings made by the Bank to individuals as Buenos Aires City stamp tax withholding agent.

 

The Bank’s Management and its legal advisors consider no further significant accounting effects could arise from the final outcome of the above mentioned proceedings other than those disclosed in the accompanying Financial Statements.

 

31.RESTRICTION ON PROFIT DISTRIBUTION

 

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

 

b)Pursuant to 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, This withholding shall not be applicable to earnings distributions payable in the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2018.

c)Through Communiqué “A” 6464, the Central Bank establishes the general procedure to distribute earnings. According to that procedure, earnings may only be distributed if certain circumstances are met such as no records of financial assistance from the Central Bank due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital or minimum cash requirement deficiencies and not being subject to the provisions of sections 34 and 35 bis of the Financial Entities Act (sections dealing with tax payment and restructuring agreements and reorganization of the Bank), among other conditions listed in the abovementioned communiqué that must be met.

 

In addition, profits may only be distributed to the extent there are positive results, after deducting, on a non-accounting basis, from retained earnings and earnings reserves – other for future distribution of profits, (i) the amounts of the legal and other earnings reserves which are mandatory, (ii) all debit balances of each one of the accounting items recognized in “Other Comprehensive Income”, (iii) the income derived of the revaluation of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property, (iv) the positive net difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of government debt instruments and/or monetary regulation instruments issued by the Central Bank for those instruments recognized at amortized cost, (v) the adjustments identified by the Superintendency of Financial and Exchange Entities of the Central Bank or by the independent external auditor and that have not been recognized in the accounting records and (vi) certain franchises granted by the Central Bank. Additionally, no profit distributions shall be made out of the profit originated as a result of the first-time application of the IFRS, which profit shall be included as a special reserve, the amount of which as of June 30, 2018 is 3,475,669 and is recognized in Retained Earnings.

 

Additionally, the maximum amount to be distributed shall not be over the minimum capital excess recalculating, exclusively for these purposes, the position in order to consider the above mentioned adjustments, among other issues.

 

Finally, the Bank must verify that, after completion of the proposed profit distribution, a capital maintenance margin equal to 3.5% of risk-weighted assets is kept, apart from the minimum capital required by law, to be integrated by level-1(Con1) ordinary capital, net of deductible items (CDCOn1).

 

d)Pursuant to CNV General Resolution No. 593, the Shareholders’ Meeting in charge of analyzing the annual Financial statements will be required to decide on the application of the Bank’s retained earnings, such as the actual distribution of dividends, the capitalization thereof through the delivery of bonus shares, the creation of earningsl reserves additional to the Legal reserve or a combination of any of these applications.

1.CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Macro SA (hereinafter, the “Bank”) is a business corporation (sociedad anónima) organized in the Republic of Argentina that offers traditional banking products and services to companies, including those companies operating in regional economies, as well as to individuals, strengthening in this way its goal to be a multi-service bank. In addition, the Bank performs certain transactions through its subsidiaries banco del Tucumán SA, Macro Bank Limited (a company organized under the laws of Bahamas), Macro Securities SA, Macro Fiducia SA and Macro Fondos SGFCISA.

 

Macro Compañía Financiera SA was created in the year 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 SA. Subsequently, as a result of the merger process with other entities, it adopted other names (among them, Banco Macro Bansud SA) and since August 2006, Banco Macro SA.

 

The Bank´s shares are publicly listed on Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) since November 1994 and as from March 24, 2006, they are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Additionally, on October 15, 2015 they were authorized to list on the Mercado Abierto Electrónico SA (MAE).

 

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

 

In 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2010, the Bank acquired the control of Banco Bansud SA, Nuevo Banco Suquía SA, Nuevo Banco Bisel SA and Banco Privado de Inversiones SA, respectively. Such entities merged with and into Banco Macro SA in December 2003, October 2007, August 2009 and December 2013, respectively. In addition, during the fiscal year 2006, Banco Macro SA acquired control over Banco del Tucumán SA.

 

On August 22, 2018, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of the accompanying condensed separate interim Financial Statements.

 

2.OPERATIONS OF THE BANK

 

Note 2 to the Condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements includes a detailed description of the agreements that relate the Bank and its subsidiary Banco del Tucumán to the provincial Governments.

 

3.BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND APPLICABLE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

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,

 

Additionally, through Communiqué “A” 6114, the Central Bank set specific guidelines within the scope of such convergence process, among which it defined (i) the transitory exception to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (sections B5.5.1 to B5.5.55) up to the fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2020; and (ii) that in order to calculate the effective interest rate of assets and liabilities so requiring it for the measurement thereof, pursuant to IFRS 9, transitorily up to 31 December 2019, the Bank may make a global estimate of the calculation of the effective interest rate on a group of financial assets or liabilities with similar characteristics which shall be applied such effective interest rate. To the date of the accompanying condensed separate interim Financial Statements the Bank is in the process of quantifying the effect the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” mentioned in (i) above would have. Finally, through Communiqués “A” 6323 and 6324 and supplementary provisions the BRCA defined the chart of account and the provisions applicable to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements of financial entities for the fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2018

(Translation of Financial statements originally issued in Spanish – See Note 34)

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

The accounting policies comply with the IFRS presently approved through Central Bank Comunique “A” 6114 and are applicable to the preparation of the first annual consolidated Financial statements as provided for in the IFRS (December 31, 2018). Nevertheless, these accounting policies may be modified if, at the time of preparing such first annual Financial Statements under Communiqué “A” 6114, new rules or standards are issued or the current ones are amended, with compulsory application to such date, or if the Bank chooses to change the election of the exemptions under IFRS 1. As a general rule, the Central Bank does not admit the early application of any IFRS, unless it establishes any provision the contrary.

 

These condensed separate interim Financial Statements, were prepared in accordance with the framework set forth by the Central Bank as mentioned in the previous paragraphs, for which these condensed separate interim Financial Statements, are based on IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. In that sense, these condensed separate interim Financial Statements include all the necessary information for an appropriate understanding, by the users thereof, of the basis for the preparation and disclosure used therein, as well as the relevant events and transactions occurred after the issuance of the last annual separate Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and condensed separate interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2018. Nevertheless, the present condensed separate interim Financial Statements do not include all the information or all the disclosures required for the annual separate Financial Statements prepared in accordance with the IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Therefore, the accompanying condensed separate interim Financial Statements must be read together with the annual separate Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and condensed separate interim Financial Statements for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2018. Additionally, Note 3 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements presents a detailed description of the basis for the presentation of such Financial Statements. All that is explained therein shall apply to the accompanying condensed separate interim Financial Statements, as well as the main accounting policies used and the relevant information of the subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries

 

As mentioned in Note 1, the Bank performs certain transactions through its subsidiaries.

 

Subsidiaries are all the entities controlled by the Bank. A Company controls other entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its continuing involvement with such other entity, and has the ability to use its power to direct the operating and financing policies of such other entity, to affect the amounts of such returns.

 

As provided under IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, investments in subsidiaries were accounted for using the “equity method”. When using this method, investments are initially recognized at cost, and such amount increases or decreases to recognize investor’s interest in profits and losses of the entity after the date of acquisition or creation.

 

Share in profits and losses of subsidiaries and associates are recognized in the line “Income from subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements” in the Statement of income. Ownership interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries is accounted for in the line “Income for the period for interest in other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements accounted for using the participation method”, in the statement of other comprehensive income.

 

Transcription in the Books of Accounts

 

To the date of the accompanying Condensed separate interim Financial Statements, the same are in the process of being transcribed in the Bank’s Books of Account.

4.CONTINGENT TRANSACTIONS

 

In order to meet specific financial needs of customers, the Bank’s credit policy also includes, among others, the granting of guarantees, securities, bonds, letters of credit and documentary credits. Although these transactions are not recognized in the Balance sheet, since they imply a possible obligation or liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to additional credit risk to those recognized in the Balance sheet and are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Bank maintains the following contingent transactions:

 

   06/30/2018   12/31/2017   12/31/2016 
             
Overdraft and unused agreed credits   826,663    255,710    191,007

23.TRUST AGREEMENTS

 

Note 24 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements describes the different trust agreements according to the business purpose sought by the Bank, which may be summarized as follows:

Debt securities include mainly prepayments towards the placement price of trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings, made by the Bank through underwriting agreements (Consubond, Garbarino, Secubono, Accicom, Mila, Credicuotas Consumo, Credimas, Pvcred and Naldo Lombardi). The assets managed for these trusts are mainly related to securitizations of consumer loans. Trust securities are placed once the 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.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016 the debt securities administered by the Bank with investment purposes and certificate of participation in financial trusts total 1,023,502, 1,003,312 and 719,918, respectively.

REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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 the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. (“the Bank”), and its subsidiaries which comprise: (a) the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, (b) the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2018 and the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and (c) explanatory notes and other supplementary 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 the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina), which, as mentioned in Note 3. to the accompanying financial statements, are based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in particular for the condensed interim financial statements in the International Accounting Standard 34 "Intermediate Financial Reporting", as those standards were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCA for its Spanish acronym) and with the only exception of section 5.5. "Impairment" of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions. The Bank’s Management and Board of Directors and are also responsible for performing the internal control procedures that they may deem necessary to allow for the preparation of consolidated financial information of interim-period 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 financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. based on our review, which was performed in accordance with the standards of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences Technical Resolution 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 financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1. have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting framework established by the BCRA mentioned in paragraph 2.

 

Emphasis on certain aspects disclosed in the financial statements and other issues

 

5.We draw attention to the information contained in the following note to the consolidated financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1.:

 

(a) Note 3. “Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards”, section “Preparation basis - Applicable Accounting Standards”, in which the Bank indicates is in the process of determining and quantifying the effect on the financial statements of the application of section 5.5 "Impairment” of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA of the accounting framework applicable to financial institutions. This issue does not change the conclusion expressed in paragraph 4., but must be taken into account by those users who use IFRS for the interpretation of the accompanying financial statements.

 

 - 2 - 

 

 

(b) Note 3. “ Basis for the preparation of these financial statements and applicable accounting standards”, section ”Preparation basis - Applicable Accounting Standards”, in which the Bank indicates that the items and figures contained in these reconciliations may be subject to change and they may only be considered final when preparing the annual financial statements for the 2018. This issue does not change the conclusion expressed in paragraph 4.

 

6.As further explained in Note 36. to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the accounting framework established by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

 

Other issues

 

7.We have issued a separate report on the condensed separate interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. on the same date and for the same period mentioned in paragraph 1.

 

II.Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

 

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

 

a)The financial statements mentioned in paragraph 1., as mentioned in Note 3. to them, are in process of being transcribed into the financial statements book of BANCO MACRO S.A. and, based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that these financial statements 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 condensed separate interim financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. as of June 30, 2018 arise from the accounting books kept, in all formal respects, pursuant to current legal requirements.
