LIMITED REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM-PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Translation into English – Originally issued in Spanish

See note 22 to the stand-alone Financial Statements

 

To the Directors of

BANCO MACRO S.A.

Registered office: Sarmiento 447

City of Buenos Aires

 

1. We have performed a limited review of the accompanying balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. as of March 31, 2014, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-months period then ended. We have also performed a limited review of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-months period then ended, which are disclosed as supplementary information. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank Management.

 

2. We conducted our limited review in accordance with the standards of Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences Technical Resolution No. 7 applicable to a limited review of the interim-period financial statements and the “Minimum external auditing standards” issued by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina) applicable to the review of quarterly financial statements. Under such standards, a limited review consists primarily of applying analytical procedures to the accounting information and making inquiries of the persons in charge of accounting and financial matters. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit of financial statements, the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. Therefore, we do not express such an opinion.

 

3. As described in note 5. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements, the financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been prepared by the Bank in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA, which differ from the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires in certain valuation and disclosure aspects described and quantified in such note.

 

 
 

 

4. As further explained in note 22. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements, certain accounting practices used by the Bank to prepare the accompanying financial statements conform with the accounting standards established by the BCRA but may not conform with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.

 

5. Based on our review, we have not become aware of anything that may lead us to believe that the financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting standards established by the BCRA and, except for the effect of the issue mentioned in the third paragraph, with the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires.

 

6. With respect to the balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated balance sheet of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’equity and cash flows for the three-months period ended March 31, 2013, which were presented for comparative purposes, we report that:

 

a) On February 19, 2014, we issued an audit report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, in which we expressed a qualified opinion due to differences between accounting standards established by the BCRA and used by the Bank, and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, which are described and quantified in note 5. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements. We have not audited any financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31, 2013.

 

b) On May 8, 2013, we issued a limited review report on the financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. and the consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. with its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, which included qualifications due to differences between accounting standards established by the BCRA and used by the Bank, and the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, which are described and quantified in note 5. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements.

 

 
 

 

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

 

a) The financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph have been transcribed into the “Inventory and Financial Statements” book.

 

b) The financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. arise from books kept, in their formal respects, pursuant to current legal requirements and the rules of the BCRA.

 

c) As of March 31, 2014, the liabilities accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System, as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 34,488,610, none of which was due as of that date.

 

d) To the extent limited by our area of competence, we have no findings on the information included in note 16. to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements as of March 31, 2014, with regard to the requirements established by the CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) with respect to minimum shareholders’ equity and the liquid assets to cover that amount.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2014

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

Finally, on December 23, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank, through Resolution N° 303, authorized Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. to merge with and into Banco Macro S.A. (see also Note 3.2.) and on January 23, 2014, the CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) gave its approval, which was registered in the Public Registry of Commerce on March 19, 2014. Additionally, on January 23, 2014 the CNV authorized the public offering of 77,860 shares to be delivered in an exchange relationship to the minority shareholders of former Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the quotation of such shares was pending approval by the BCBA.

 

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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

 

3.1. Consolidated financial statements

 

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

 

3.2. Comparative information

 

As required under Central Bank rules, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and supplementary information, are presented comparatively with those of the prior fiscal year, while the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, are presented comparatively with data for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Additionally, as a result of the merger described in Note 2.6., the Bank’s financial statements and supplementary information as of March 31, 2013, were restated for comparative purposes, and as a result, we consolidated the stand-alone statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Banco Macro S.A. and former Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A., as of March 31, 2013. The merger effects were not material.

 

3.3. Unit of measurement

 

Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires establish that the financial statements should be stated in constant pesos. The adjustment methodology and the need to make those adjustments are required by Technical Resolutions (TR) No. 6 and No. 17 issued by FACPCE (Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences), which were amended by TR No. 39, issued by the mentioned Federation on October 4, 2013. These standards establish mainly, the existence of an inflation rate accumulated over a three-year period reaching or exceeding 100%, considering the domestic wholesale price index of the INDEC (Argentine Institute of Statistics and Censuses), as a fact that identifies an inflation context that warrants adjusting the financial statements so that they are stated in constant currency as of the related date.

 

The Bank’s financial statements recognize the changes in the peso purchasing power until February 28, 2003, when the adjustments to reflect those changes were discontinued, as provided by the professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires and as required by Presidential Decree 664/2003, General Resolution No. 4/2003 of the Business Association Regulatory Agency, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3,921 and CNV General Resolution No. 441.

 

However, the interpretation of the financial statements should consider the fact that, in recent fiscal years, there have been significant changes in the prices for relevant economic variables, such as salary cost, interest and exchange rates, which do not require such adjustments according to the abovementioned regulations.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2014

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

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

 

3.4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements requires the Bank to make, in certain cases, estimates to determine the book values of assets and liabilities, income, expenses and contingencies, as well as the disclosure thereof, as of each date of accounting information filing. The Bank´s records are based on the best estimate regarding the probability of occurrence of different future events and, therefore, the final amount may differ from such estimates, which may have a positive or negative impact on future fiscal years.

 

3.5. Valuation methods

 

The main valuation methods used to prepare the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013, were as follows:

 

a) Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency:

 

The assets and liabilities denominated in US dollars were valued at Central Bank benchmark US dollar exchange rate effective as of the closing date of transactions on the last respective business day. Additionally, assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were translated at the exchange rate communicated by the Central Bank´s dealing room. Foreign exchange differences were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

b) Government and private securities:

 

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

 

They were valued at the quoted prices or present values reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be. Differences in quoted prices and present values were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

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

 

As set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, they were valued at acquisition cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, net of the related offset account, also compared with the present values calculated by the Bank. The acquisition value previously mentioned is related to the present value of each security at acquisition date.

 

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

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the present value calculated by the Bank for these securities amounted to 431,047 and 254,767, respectively.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Holdings with no volatility published by the Central Bank were valued at acquisition cost plus accrued interest, exponentially applying the internal rate of return as per their issuance terms and conditions. The accruals of the internal rate of return mentioned above were recorded in the related statements of income.

 

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

 

As set forth in Central Bank Communiqués “A” 4898, “A” 5180, as supplemented, the guaranteed loans issued by the Argentine Government under Presidential Decree No. 1387/01 were valued at the specific acquisition value of each security, increased by accrued income including the benchmark stabilization coefficient (CER), net of the related offset account, compared in turn with the present values reported by the Central Bank.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 395,362 and 300,386, respectively.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2014

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

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

 

d) Interest accrual:

 

Interest has been accrued according to a compound interest formula in the period in which it was generated, except interest on transactions in foreign currency and those whose maturity does not exceed 92 days, on which interest has been accrued according to a simple interest formula.

 

The Bank suspends the interest accrual whenever loan payments are not settled (generally, after 90 days) or when the recoverability of the collection of principal or interest accrued is doubtful. Accrued interest is considered part of the loan balance when determining the allowances for loan losses. Afterwards, interest is only recognized on a cash basis.

 

e) CER accrual:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

f) Allowance for loan losses and provision for contingent commitments:

 

These provisions have been calculated based on the estimated uncollectibility risk of the Bank's credit portfolio, which, among other factors, results from the evaluation of the degree of debtors compliance and the guarantee/security supporting the respective transactions, considering Central Bank Communiqué “A” 2950, as supplemented, and the Bank’s provisioning policies.

 

When loans covered by specific allowances are settled or generate a reversal of the allowances recorded in the current period, and in cases where the allowances set in prior years exceed what is considered necessary, the excess allowance is reversed with effects on income for the current period.

 

The recovery of receivables previously classified under “Debit-balance control memorandum accounts - Receivables classified as irrecoverable” are recorded directly in the related statements of income.

 

The Bank assesses the credit risk related to possible commitments and determines the appropriate amount of allowances to be recorded. The allowances related to amounts recorded in memorandum accounts, contingent commitments, are included under “Provisions”.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

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

 

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

4. INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

 

The Bank calculates income tax by applying the effective 35% rate to the estimated taxable income for each period, without considering the effect of temporary differences between book and taxable income.

 

In 1998, Law No. 25,063 established minimum presumed income tax for a ten-year term. At present, after subsequent extensions, such tax is effective through December 30, 2019. This tax is supplementary to income tax, while the latter is levied on the taxable income for the year, minimum presumed income tax is a minimum levy assessment by applying 1% over 20% of certain assets as provided by the law for financial institutions. Therefore, the Bank’s tax obligation for each year will be equal to the higher of these taxes. However, if minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax in a given tax year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of any income tax in excess of minimum presumed income tax that may occur in any of the following ten years, once accumulated net operating losses (NOLs) have been used.

 

As March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 644,000 and 263,000, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax should be assessed for the three-month periods ended on such dates.

 

Additionally, as of March 31, 2014, the Bank made income tax prepayments for 739,909 for the 2013 fiscal year, which will be applied to the tax amount assessed in the 2013 tax return.

 

Finally, and as a result of the merger of former Banco Privado de Inversiones S.A. with and into the Bank, the Bank carries 3,460 in “Other receivables” in connection with a minimum presumed income tax credit and prepayments for 132, which will be used by the Bank to pay income tax for fiscal 2013.

(1) Additionally, according to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, individual and consolidated income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, would have increased by 52,676.

 

(a) Holdings of government securities, instruments issued by the Central Bank and credit assistance to the nonfinancial government sector: these holdings and financing are valued based on the specific regulations and standards issued by the Argentine government and the Central Bank, which set forth, among other issues, the use of present values, technical values and offset accounts, as explained in Notes 3.5.b.2), 3.5.b.4) and 3.5.c). Pursuant to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the securities, instruments and assistance mentioned in those notes should be stated at their market and/or present values, as the case may be. In addition, current Central Bank regulations establish that financing to the nonfinancial government sector is not subject to loan-loss provisioning, whereas the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires require that assets in general to be compared with their recoverable value every time financial statements are prepared.

 

(b) Business combinations: under the standards set forth by Central Bank, business acquisitions are recorded according to the book values of the acquired company and, if the purchase price exceeds the book value, the excess amount is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a positive goodwill. On the other hand, if the purchase price is lower than book value, the difference is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a negative goodwill. If the goodwill is positive, Central Bank standards establish that such goodwill should be amortized under the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of ten years. If the goodwill is negative, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3984 establishes specific amortization methods; the maximum amortization allowed per year is 20%.

 

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

 

(c) Subsidiary Banco del Tucumán S.A. prepares its financial statements in conformity with Central Bank rules which differ from the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires.

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

 

(d) Income tax: The Bank and its subsidiaries determine income tax applying the effective rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of the temporary differences between book and taxable income. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, income tax should be booked following the deferred tax method, according to which (i) in addition to the current tax payable, either an asset (if certain conditions are met) or a liability is recognized for deferred taxes related to the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax valuation of assets and liabilities, and (ii) a tax expense (income) is recognized in relation to the portion involving the current tax expense (income) as well as the one involving the deferred tax expense (income), resulting from the creation and reversal of the abovementioned temporary differences in the year. Under Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, a deferred tax asset is recognized when there are unused NOLs or tax credits that can be deducted from future taxable income, provided they are likely.

 

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

 

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

 

5.2. Disclosure standards

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

d) The supplementary information presented by the Bank, is the information specifically required by Central Bank regulations. This regulation does not contemplate all disclosure requirements of the Argentine professional accounting standards in the City of Buenos Aires, such as the disclosure of due dates for all receivables and payables together with their interest rates or adjustments, certain information about transactions with related parties, the exchange rate applicable to different foreign currencies assets and liabilities at the end of the period, etc.

Law No. 24,485, and Presidential Decree No, 540/1995, provided for the organization of a Bank Deposit Guarantee Insurance System, characterized as being limited, mandatory and for valuable consideration, designed to provide coverage for risks inherent in bank deposits, subsidiary and supplementary to the bank deposit privileges and protection offered by the system created by Financial Institutions Law.

On the other hand, Central Bank established that the deposits made by other financial institutions, those made by persons related to the Bank, and deposits of securities, among others, must be excluded from the deposit guarantee system.

(b) Underwriting agreements

 

It relates to prepayments towards the placement price of trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings, made by the Bank through underwriting agreements (Consubond, Mila, Accicom, Pvcred, CCF Créditos and Credial). 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.

 

(c) Fideicomiso Loma Blanca

 

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

 

The purpose of the trust consists in the set-up, start-up, operation and maintenance of all four awarded wind farms, located in the Municipality of Trelew, Province of Chubut.

 

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Class A debt securities acquired by the Bank account for 14% of the total trust issues. The final amortization of such debt securities will operate on March 16, 2016.

 

(d) Other

 

It includes, among others, Chubut oil & gas royalties, which manages assigned receivables and rights on oil & gas royalties for the purpose of financing production projects, infrastructure works in the Province of Chubut and financial investments aimed at increasing the state’s interest in the energy sector.

 

According to the latest accounting information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the corpus assets of the abovementioned trusts, exceed the carrying amount in the related proportions.

 

Additionally, Note 8.1. to the consolidated financial statements, includes a list of the holdings for investment held by the Bank´s subsidiaries.

 

15.2. Trusts created using financial assets transferred by the Bank

 

The Bank transferred financial assets (loans) to trusts for the purpose of issuing and selling securities the collection of which is guaranteed by the cash flow resulting from such assets or group of assets. This way the funds that were originally used to finance the loans are obtained earlier.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed through Macro Fiducia S.A. (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 12,833 and 10,754, respectively.

 

Additionally, Note 8.2. to the consolidated financial statements includes a list of those trusts with similar purposes to those included in this note, but created with corpus assets transferred by the Bank’s subsidiaries.

 

15.3. Trusts guaranteeing loans granted by the Bank

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

18. TAX AND OTHER CLAIMS

 

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

 

The most significant ongoing claims arising from the previous paragraph are detailed below:

 

a) AFIP challenged the income tax returns filed by the former Banco Bansud S.A. (for the fiscal years since June 30, 1995, through June 30, 1999, and of the irregular six-month period ended December 31, 1999) and by the former Banco Macro S.A. (for the fiscal years ended since December 31, 1998, through December 31, 2000).

 

The matter under discussion that 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 the Argentine Supreme Court in similar cases, which have issued resolutions that are favorable to the Bank’s position.

 

b) City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to Banco Macro S.A. for fiscal period 2002, in relation to the treatment of the compensation bond, over which a precautionary measure was issued in 2009 in favor of the Bank.

 

c) City of Buenos Aires tax authorities attributed a turnover tax difference to former Banco Privado de Inversiones for fiscal periods 2002 and 2003. In February 2009, a complaint was filed to challenge the assessment with the Federal Administrative Tax Court, which is pending proceedings. City of Buenos Aries government filed an action for payment and secured a provisional attachment in the amount of 827 (see also Note 7.).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Additionally, there are other claims initiated by consumers’ associations.

 

18.3 Finally, the Bank and its directors were notified about the opening of financial and exchange proceedings by the Central Bank and other proceedings filed by the UIF (Financial Information Unit). According to the above mentioned agencies position, they are mainly related to regulatory breaches over transactions conducted by Bank customers. These proceedings were or will be challenged or appealed in the administrative field and / or in court, as the case may be.

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

The Bank’s Management and its tax and legal advisors believe there are no additional significant effects to those already recognized in the books that may result from the final outcome of such claims.

  

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

 

The financial and capital markets

 

The international and local macroeconomic context generates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress as a result of the contractions in growth levels, the volatility of financial assets and the foreign exchange market, among other issues, which has been observed with various degrees of intensity over the last few years. In addition, at a local level, there was an increase in the volatility of government and private securities and in interest rates, as well as somewhat significant changes in the prices for other relevant economic variables, such as salary costs, the prices of the main raw materials and the exchange rate.

 

Specifically in connection with the Argentine foreign exchange market, as from October 2011, the Federal Government imposed certain restrictions to access to the MUyLC (single and free foreign exchange market). Moreover, during the first quarter of 2014, there was a strong appreciation of foreign currency and a rise in interest rates, both deposit and lending rates.

 

Lastly, on December 27, 2012, a new Capital Markets Law was enforced, as enacted by Presidential Decree No. 1023/2013 dated July 29, 2013, and CNV General Resolution No. 622 dated September 5, 2013. At present, although the regulations provide for a transition period, the law is undergoing a process of gradual implementation and analysis by the various market agents. In addition, several filings and requests for clarification have been filed with the agency, which has issued various interpretations and extensions.

 

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

 

Legal actions

 

The Argentine economic and financial situation worsened in late 2001, when the Argentine government suspended payments on the sovereign debt and imposed severe restrictions on cash withdrawals from financial institutions.

 

The measures adopted by the Federal Executive Government with respect to the public emergency in political, economic, financial and foreign exchange matters triggered a number of legal actions (known as recursos de amparo – constitutional rights protection actions), brought by individuals and companies against the Federal Government, the Central Bank and the financial institutions for considering that Public Emergency Law and its supplementary regulations are unconstitutional.

 

In the specific case of deposits denominated in foreign currency, in some cases, the courts ordered the reimbursement of such deposits, either in foreign currency or at free foreign exchange rate at the time of reimbursement until a final judgment is issued with respect to the constitutionality of the conversion into pesos.

 

Some of these claims were treated by the Argentine Supreme Court, which issued resolutions on lower-court decisions for each particular case and in different manners.

 

On December 27, 2006, the Argentine Supreme Court revoked prior instance judgments that ordered the reimbursement of deposits in US dollars and decided that depositors are entitled to reimbursement of their deposits switched to pesos at the Ps, 1.40-to-USD 1 exchange rate, adjusted by the CER through the payment date, and interest should be applied to such amount at a rate of 4% p.a., which may not be compounded through the payment date.

 

As regards courts deposit in US dollars, on March 20, 2007, the Argentine Supreme Court ruled that principal should be reimbursed with no deterioration in value whatsoever, and that the sums should be kept in their original currency.

 

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank recorded the additional payables related to such regulation under the “Provisions” account in the amount of 17,460 and 14,208 at the stand-alone level, respectively, and a total of 29,227 and 23,301 at consolidated level, respectively. The Bank´s Management believes that there would be no additional significant effects, other than those recognized in accounts that could derive from the final outcome of such actions.

20. RESTRICTION ON EARNINGS DISTRIBUTION

 

a) Among other issues, the Regular Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 29, 2014, decided as follows:

 

a.1) Apply 488,713 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set the legal reserve related to 20% of income for the year ended December 31, 2013, according to Central Bank standards.

 

a.2) Apply 95,326 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set a special reserve for interest to be paid upon the maturities taking place in June and December 2014, as established in the issuance conditions for the 1 st series of Class 1 Corporate Bonds mentioned in Note 10.a.1) and as established by Central Bank Communiqué “A” 4576.

 

a.3) Distribute cash dividends up to the amount of 596,254. Such distribution is pending approval by Central Bank.

 

a.4) Apply 488,713 out of “Unappropriated retained earnings” to set an optional reserve for future distributions of earnings, as established in Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5273.

 

b) Under Law No. 25,063, dividends to be distributed in cash or in kind in excess of taxable income accumulated as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the payment or distribution date shall be subject to a 35% income tax withholding as 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.

 

Additionally, from the amendments introduced by Law No. 26,893, with effect from September 23, 2013, distributions of dividends (except for shares) to individuals of the country or foreign individuals or legal entities shall be subject to a 10% income tax.

 

c) As established by CNV General Resolution No. 593, the Shareholders’ Meeting considering financial statements with retained earnings should specifically decide how they will be used.

 

d) Through Communiqué “A” 5485 as supplemented, the Central Bank establishes the general procedure for distributing earnings. According to that procedure, earnings may only be distributed upon express authorization by the Central Bank, provided there are no records of the Bank having received financial aid from the Central Bank due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital, and there are no penalties imposed by UIF, weighted to be significant, among other previous conditions listed in the abovementioned communiqué.

 

Therefore, earnings may only be distributed as long as the Bank has income after deducting, on a nonaccounting basis, from unappropriated retained earnings and the voluntary reserve for future distribution of earnings, the amounts of the legal and statutory reserves which are mandatory, the positive net difference between the book value and market value or present value reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be, of government debt securities and/or instruments issued by the Central Bank not valued at market price, among other items.

 

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

  

21. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PUBLICATION

 

Under Communiqué “A” 760, the Central Bank prior intervention is not required for the publication of these financial statements.

  

22. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES – EXPLANATION ADDED FOR TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH

 

These financial statements are presented on the basis of the accounting standards set forth by the Central Bank and, except for the effects of the matters mentioned in Note 5., in accordance with argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires. Certain accounting practices applied by the Bank may not conform with accounting principles generally accepted in other countries.
