To the date of the present condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements the Bank is in the process of determining and quantifying the effect the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” mentioned in (i) above will have. Finally, through Communiqués “A” 6323 and 6324 and supplementary rules, the Central Bank defined the minimum chart of accounts 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.

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements of the Bank were prepared pursuant to Communiqué “A” 6114 and supplementary rules of the Central Bank. Taking into account the exceptions described in the preceding paragraphs, the new regulatory framework comprises the Standards and Interpretations adopted by the IASB and includes:

Up to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Bank prepared its consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the rules and standards issued by the Central Bank. The financial information for previous fiscal years and included in the accompanying consolidated Financial Statements for comparative purposes, was modified and is disclosed in accordance with the basis described in the preceding paragraphs. The effects of changes between the standards applied at the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the IFRS are explained in the reconciliations disclosed under the title “First-time Adoption to IFRS in accordance with Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6114” on this Note.

 

The accounting policies comply with the IFRS as currently approved and are applicable to the preparation of the first annual consolidated Financial Statements (December 31, 2018) in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the Central Bank though Communique “A” 6114 Notwithstanding the above, these accounting policies might change if, at the time of preparing those first annual Financial Statements in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the Central Bank though Communique “A” 6114, new standards are issued or the existing ones are modified, or the compulsory application to that date is modified, or if the Bank chooses to change its choice of any of the exemptions under IFRS 1. Generally, the Central Bank does not allow the anticipated application of any IFRS, unless it expressly states the contrary.

Comparative information

 

The present condensed consolidated interim Statement of financial position as of September 30, 2018, is presented comparatively with year-end data of the immediately preceding fiscal year, while the Statement of income and Other comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2018, the Statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and the Statement of cash flows and Cash equivalents for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, are presented comparatively with data as of same period of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

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 Statement of financial position to the transition date (December 31, 2016).

 

Measuring unit

 

IFRS require that the financial statements of an entity ehose functional currency id the currency of a hyperinflationary economy should be stated in terms of measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes certain qualitative indicators and, as quantitative factor, a three-year cumulative inflation rate around 100% or more; and it also requires assessing whether it is not the result of a circumstantial event that may be reversed in the short term. In Argentina, the three-year cumulative inflation 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, 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 measured as both wholesale prices indexes or consumer prices indexes currently exceeds 100%, and the goals reviewed by the Argentine government and other available projections indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term. Consequently, the Argentine economy is currently considered hyperinflationary under IAS 29 and 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. Such restatement should be applied as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary, using a general price index that reflects changes in general purchasing power. To apply the restatement, there will be used a series of indexes prepared and published, on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE, for its acronym in Spanish language), that combines the domestic wholesale price index on a monthly basis published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC, for its acronym in Spanish language) since January 2017 (month-basis: December 2016) with the domestic consumer price index (CPI) published by the INDEC until that date, using for the months of November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not publish the wholesale price index (WPI) variation, the CPI variation for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

 

Notwithstanding the above, as established by Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921 and by section 3 of Chapter III, title IV of CNV rules (Revised 2013, as amended), the Entity is not allowed to apply the restatement method on its Financial Statements according to IAS 29, due to Presidential decree No. 664/2003. IAS 29 exclusion in the IFRS application will be proceeded while the Presidential decree is effective. Although on November 15, 2018 the Argentine Congress passed the Law N°. 27468, which abrogated Presidential Decree No. 1269/2002 (amended by Presidential Decree No. 664/2003), as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, neither BCRA nor CNV have issued resolutions which allow the application of inflation adjustment.

 

Even though Financial Statements as of September 30, 2018 do not include inflation effects, the existence of variations in the relevant economic variables that affect the Entity´s business, such as salary cost, loan and deposit interest rates and exchange rate, could also affect the statement of financial position and the income of the Bank and, therefore, those variations should be taken into account in the interpretation of the Bank´s information on these Financial Statements over its statement of financial position, its transactions income and its cash flows.

 

Below is disclosed a summary of the effects if IAS 29 were to be applied:

 

(a)Financial Statements shall be restated considering the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency to ensure that they are stated in the measuring unit current at end of the reported period.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

(b)In an inflationary period, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities (with a fixed face value in local currency) will lose purchasing power, and, an entity with an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets will gain purchasing power provided that the assets and liabilities are not linked to an adjustment mechanism that offsets, in some extent, such effects.

 

(c)To sum up, the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 is as follows:

 

(i)Monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated, as they are already stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. The gain or loss on a monetary basis shall be included in profit or loss for the period.

 

(ii)Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted in accordance with such agreements.

 

(iii)Non-monetary items stated at current cost at the end of the reporting period, are not restated in the balance sheet, but the adjustment process must be completed, to determine in measuring unit current, in order to determine the income or loss produced by the holding of these non-monetary items.

 

(iv)Non-monetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, shall be restated by an index that reflects the general level of price variation from the adquisition or revaluation date to the closing date, proceeding then to compare the restated amounts of those assets with their recoverable amount. Income or loss for the period related with depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and other non-monetary cost shall be determinated over the new restated amounts.

 

(v)If when non-monetary assets are stated in terms of the current measuring unit at the end of the reporting period, and an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes does not correspond, that will be raised to a taxable temporary difference and a deferred income tax liability will be recognized and the counterpart will be recognized as income or loss for the period, and if, beyond the restatement, also non-monetary assets will be revaluated, deferred tax related with the revaluation will be recognized in Other comprehensive income and deferred tax related with the restatement will be recognized in the income or loss for the period.

 

(vi)Income and expenses shall be restated from the date when the items were recorded, except for those income or loss items that reflect or include, in their determination, the consumption of assets measured at currency´s purchasing power from the date before the consumption was recorded, that shall be restated using as a basis the adquisition date of the assets related to the item; and also except for those incomes or losses that arise from comparing the two measurements at currency´s purchasing power of different dates, for which it requires to identify the compared amounts, to restate them separately and to re-perform the comparison, with the restated amounts.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, the Bank is in process of quantifying the effects that would have result for the IAS 29 application, but estimates that such effects could be significant.

 

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

 

According to Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6324, below are presented reconciliations of the consolidated equity as of September 30, 2017 and the consolidated net income for the nine-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 exemptions 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 interim 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 FACPCE (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. This standard is applicable to fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2019. The Bank does not expect this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated Financial Statements.

 

·IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”. This interpretation clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 “Income tax” when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. The Bank does not expect that standard to have a material impact on the consolidated Financial Statements.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

·IFRS 3 “Business Combination” – amendments in definition of a Business: the amendments will help entities determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The new amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. This standard is applicable to fiscal years beginning as of January 1, 2020. The Bank does not expect that standard 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 Statement of financial position, since they imply a possible obligation or liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to additional credit risk to those recognized in the Statement of financial position and are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

 

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

 

   09/30/2018   12/31/2017   12/31/2016 
Overdraft and unused agreed credits   605,588    255,710    191,007 
Guarantees granted   987,749    253,350    287,497 
Liabilities for foreign trade transactions   489,279    90,274    163,308 
    2,082,616    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 Statements 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.

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. Currently, for government and private securities, there are two principal markets in which the Bank operates: 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.

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

In addition, certain assets and liabilities included in this category 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 September 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 at 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

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 September 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 these 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 September 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 provisional trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings (Best Consumer Directo, Garbarino, Accicom, Secubono and Credicuotas Consumo). 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. If after making the best efforts, such trust securities cannot be placed, the Bank will retain the definitive trust securities.

 

In addition, the Bank´s portfolio is completed with financial trusts for investment purpose, trust securities of definitive financial trust in public offering (Consubond, Credimas, Garbarino, Chubut Regalías Hidrocarburíferas) and certificates of participation (Saenz Créditos, Gas Tucumán and Arfintech).

 

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and 2016, debt securities and certificates of participation in financial trusts for investment purpose, total to 630,442, 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 September 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 69,842, 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.

 

As of September 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 by the Bank amounted to 342,799, 328,268 and 451,569, respectively.

 

24.4.Trusts in which the Bank acts as trustee (management)

 

The Bank, through its subsidiaries, 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:

 

-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.

 

-Promoting the production development of the private economic sector at a provincial level.

 

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

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 DIVIDENDS 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 at 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.

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 September 30, 2018 is 3,475,669 and is recognized in Retained Earnings.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

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 November 27, 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.

 

In addition, as mention in Note 2.4 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statement, the Bank has adcquired shares of Banco del Tucumán SA for an amount of 456,757. This transaction was registered in these Financial Statements by the purchase method. The difference between the consideration paid and the application of the purchase price method gave rise to goodwill recognition for an amount of 210,927.

 

On the other hand, on October 17, 2018, the Board of Directors of Banco Macro SA, decided to initiate negotiations for the merger reorganization between Banco Macro SA and Banco del Tucuman SA (see additionally Note 2 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements).

 

3.BASIS FOR THE PRESENTATION 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,

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

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.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the conditions to apply inflation adjustments in the condensed consolidated Financial Statement for the nine-month period as established by IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economy” were met. However, for the reasons described in section “measuring unit” of this Note, financial institutions cannot apply the above-mentioned standard.

 

The accounting policies comply with the IFRS presently approved through Central Bank Communiqué “A” 6114 and are applicable to the preparation of the first annual consolidated Financial statements (December 31, 2018) in accordance with the IFRS adopted by the Central Bank through Communiqué “A” 6114 considering the exceptions abovementioned. 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 six-month period ended on June 30, 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.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

Measuring unit

 

IFRS require that the financial statement of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy should be stated in terms in the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. To achieve consistency in identifying an economic environment of that nature, IAS 29 establishes certain qualitative indicators and, as quantitative factor, a three-year cumulative inflation rate around 100% or more; and it also requires assessing whether it is not the result of a circumstantial event that may be reversed in the short term. In Argentina, the three-year cumulative inflation 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, 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 measured as both wholesale prices indexes or consumer prices indexes currently exceeds 100%, and the goals reviewed by the Argentine government and other available projections indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the short term. Consequently, the Argentine economy is currently considered hyperinflationary under IAS 29 and 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. Such restatement should be applied as if the economy had always been hyperinflationary, using a general price index that reflects changes in general purchasing power. To apply the restatement, there will be used a series of indexes prepared and published, on a monthly basis by the Argentine Federation of Professionals Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPE, for its acronym in Spanish language), that combines the domestic wholesale price index on a monthly basis published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC, for its acronym in Spanish language) since January 2017 (month-basis: December 2016) with the domestic consumer price index (CPI) published by the INDEC until that date, using for the months of November and December 2015, for which the INDEC did not publish the wholesale price index (WPI) variation, the CPI variation for the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

 

Notwithstanding the above, as established by Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921 and by section 3 of Chapter III, title IV of CNV rules (Revised 2013, as amended), the Entity is not allowed to apply the inflation adjustment on its Financial Statements according to IAS 29, due to Presidential decree No. 664/2003. Although on November 15, 2018 the Argentine Congress passed the Law N°. 27468, which abrogated Presidential Decree No. 1269/2002 (amended by Presidential Decree No. 664/2003), as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements, neither BCRA nor CNV have issued resolutions which allow the application of financial adjustment.

 

Even though Financial Statements as of September 30, 2018 do not include inflation effects, the existence of variations in the relevant economic variables that affect the Entity´s business, such as salary cost, loan and deposit interest rates and exchange rate, could also affect the statement of financial position and the income of the Bank and, therefore, those variations may be taken into account in the interpretation of the Bank´s information on these Financial Statements over its statement of financial position, its transactions income and its cash flows.

 

Below is disclosed a summary of the effects if IAS 29 were to be applied:

 

(a)Financial Statements shall be restated considering the changes in the general purchasing power of the currency to ensure that they are stated in the measuring unit current at end of the reported period.

 

(b)In an inflationary period, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities (with a fixed face value in local currency) will lose purchasing power, and, an entity with an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets will gain purchasing power provided that the assets and liabilities are not linked to an adjustment mechanism that offsets, in some extent, such effects.

 

(c)To sum up, the restating mechanism provided by IAS 29 is as follows:
(i)Monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated, as they are already stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. The gain or loss on a monetary basis shall be included in profit or loss for the period.

(Figures expressed in thousands of Pesos)

 

(ii)Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements will be adjusted in accordance with such agreements.
(iii)Non-monetary items stated at current cost at the end of the reporting period, are not restated in the balance sheet, but the adjustment process must be completed, to determine in measuring unit current, in order to determine the income or loss produced by the holding of these non-monetary items.
(iv)Non-monetary items carried at historical cost or at current cost at some earlier date before the reporting date, shall be restated by an index that reflects the general level of price variation from the adquisition or revaluation date to the closing date, proceeding then to compare the restated amounts of those assets with their recoverable amount. Income or loss for the period related with depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and other non-monetary cost shall be determinated over the new restated amounts.
(v)If when non-monetary assets are stated in terms of the current measuring unit at the end of the reporting period, and an equivalent adjustment for tax purposes does not correspond, that will be raised to a taxable temporary difference and a deferred income tax liability will be recognized and the counterpart will be recognized as income or loss for the period, and if, beyond the restatement, also non-monetary assets will be revaluated, deferred tax related with the revaluation will be recognized in Other comprehensive income and deferred tax related with the restatement will be recognized in the income or loss for the period.
(vi)Income and expenses shall be restated from the date when the items were recorded, except for those income or loss items that reflect or include, in their determination, the consumption of assets measured at currency´s purchasing power from the date before the consumption was recorded, that shall be restated using as a basis the adquisition date of the assets related to the item; and also except for those incomes or losses that arise from comparing the two measurements at currency´s purchasing power of different dates, for which it requires to identify the compared amounts, to restate them separately and to re-perform the comparison, with the restated amounts.

 

As of the date of issuance of these condensed separate interim Financial Statements, the Bank is in process of quantifying the effects that would have result for the IAS 29 application, but estimates that such effects could be significant.

 

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 Statement of financial position, since they imply a possible obligation or liability for the Bank, they expose the Bank to additional credit risk to those recognized in the Statement of financial position and are, therefore, an integral part of the total risk of the Bank.

Note 5 to the condensed consolidated interim Financial Statements describes the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value, both of the financial instruments recognized at fair value as of those not accounted for at such fair value in the accompanying condensed separate interim Financial Statements. In addition, the Bank discloses the relevant information as to instruments included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

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

(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 September 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.

 

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

19.ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES IN THE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

 

The Statement of Cash Flows presents the changes in cash and cash equivalents derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities during the period. For the preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows the Bank adopted the indirect method for Operating Activities and the direct method for Investment Activities and Financing Activities.

 

The Bank considers as “Cash and cash equivalents” the item Cash and Deposits in Banks and those financial assets that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

 

For the preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows the Bank considered the following:

 

-Operating activities: are the normal revenue-producing activities of the Bank as well as other activities that cannot be qualified as investing or financing activities.

 

-Investing activities: are the acquisition, sale and disposal by other means of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.

 

-Financing activities: are activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the shareholders equity and liabilities of the Bank and that are not part of the operating or investing activities.

 

The table below presents the reconciliation between the item “Cash and cash equivalents” in the Statement of Cash Flows and the relevant accounting items of the Statement of financial position:

 

   09/30/2018   12/31/2017   09/30/2017   12/31/2016

If after making the best efforts, such trust securities cannot be placed, the Bank will retain the definitive trust securities.

 

In addition, the Bank´s portfolio is completed with financial trusts for investment purpose, trust securities of definitive financial trust in public offering (Consubond, Credimas, Garbarino, Chubut Regalías Hidrocarburíferas) and certificates of participation (Saenz Créditos, Gas Tucumán and Arfintech).
