INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Directors of
BANCO MACRO S.A.
Registered office: Sarmiento 447
Buenos Aires City
| I. | Report on the financial statements
|
Introduction
| 1. | We
have audited (a) the accompanying financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. (“the
Bank”) and (b) the accompanying consolidated financial statements of BANCO MACRO
S.A. and its subsidiaries, which comprise the related balance sheets as of December 31,
2015, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows
and cash equivalents for the fiscal year then ended, and (c) a summary of the significant
accounting policies and additional explanatory information. |
Responsibility of the Bank’s
Management and Board in connection with the financial statements
| 2. | The
Bank’s Management and Board of Directors are in charge of the preparation and fair
presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the accounting standards
set forth by the BCRA (Central Bank of Argentina) and are also in charge of performing
the internal control procedures that they may deem necessary to allow for the preparation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, either due to error
or irregularities. |
Auditor’s responsibility
| 3. | Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements based
on our audit. We have performed our work in conformity with the auditing standards established
by FACPCE (Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences) Technical
Resolution No. 37 and with the “Minimum standards on external audits” issued
by the BCRA. Such standards require that we comply with the ethical requirements and
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. |
An audit comprises the application
of procedures to obtain judgmental evidence regarding figures and the information disclosed in the financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or irregularities. In making these risk assessments, the auditor considers the Bank’s internal control
relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design the appropriate audit procedures
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s control system.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates
made by the Bank’s Board of Directors and Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the judgmental
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate for our audit opinion.
Opinion
| 4. | In
our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of BANCO MACRO S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
BCRA standards. |
Emphasis on certain issues disclosed
in the financial statements
| 5. | Attention
should be paid to note 5 to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements describing
and quantifying the main differences in measurement criteria resulting from comparing
BCRA accounting standards used in preparing the accompanying financial statements and
the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in Buenos Aires City. This
issue does not modify the opinion expressed in paragraph 4, but the differences identified
should be taken into account by those using the abovementioned professional accounting
standards to interpret the accompanying financial statements. |
| 6. | As
further explained in note 26. 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. |
| II. | Report on other legal and
regulatory requirements |
In compliance with current legal requirements,
we further report that:
| a) | The financial statements mentioned
in paragraph 1 have been transcribed into the “Inventory and Financial Statements”
book of BANCO MACRO S.A. and, in our opinion, were prepared in all material respects,
in conformity with the applicable Argentine Business Associations Law provisions and
CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) regulations. |
| b) | The financial statements of BANCO MACRO
S.A. result from books kept, in their formal respects, in conformity with current regulations
and in conformity with the provisions of CNV Resolutions Nos. 1,032/EMI and 1,996/EMI
dated March 17, and May 20, 2004, respectively. |
| c) | As of December 31, 2015, the liabilities
accrued in employee and employer contributions to the Integrated Pension Fund System,
as recorded in the Bank’s books, amounted to Ps. 65,254,346, none of which was
due and payable as of that date. |
| d) | We have applied in our audit to the
stand-alone financial statements of BANCO MACRO S.A. the anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism
financing procedures set forth in the current professional standards. |
| e) | As stated in note 17.1 to the accompanying
individual financial statements, the Bank carries shareholders’ equity and a contra
account to eligible assets that exceed the minimum amounts required by relevant CNV regulations
for these items as of December 31, 2015. |
| f) | During the year ended December 31,
2015, we invoiced fees for auditing services rendered to BANCO MACRO S.A., which represent
97% of total invoicing to the Bank for any item, 77% of total auditing services invoiced
to the Bank and its subsidiaries, and 76% of total invoicing to the Bank and its subsidiaries
for any item. |

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos,
except for where indicated)
The Bank’s financial
statements recognize the changes in the peso purchasing power until February 28, 2003, when the adjustments to reflect those changes
were discontinued, as provided by the professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires and as required
by Presidential Decree 664/2003, Article N° 312 of General Resolution No. 7/2015 of the Business Association Regulatory Agency,
Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3921 and CNV (Argentine Securities Commission) General Resolution No. 441.
However, the interpretation
of the financial statements should consider the fact that, in recent fiscal years, there have been significant changes in the
prices for relevant economic variables, such as salary cost, interest and exchange rates, which do not require such adjustments
according to the abovementioned regulations.
| 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.
The main valuation methods
used to prepare the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, were as follows:
| a) | Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency: |
The assets and liabilities
denominated in US dollars were valued at Central Bank benchmark US dollar exchange rate effective as of the closing date of transactions
on the last respective business day. Additionally, assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were translated
at the exchange rate communicated by the Central Bank´s dealing room. Foreign exchange differences were recorded in the
related statements of income.
| b) | Government and private securities: |
| b.1) | Government securities - Holdings
booked at market value: |
They were valued at the quoted
prices or present values reported by the Central Bank, as the case may be. Differences in quoted prices and present values were
recorded in the related statements of income, translated into pesos, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever
applicable.
| b.2) | Government securities - Holdings
booked at amortized cost: |
As set forth in Central Bank
Communiqué “A” 5180, as supplemented, except what is mentioned in the third paragraph, they were valued at
acquisition cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, net of the related offset account, also compared with the present
values calculated by the Bank, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable. The acquisition value
previously mentioned is related to the present value of each security at acquisition date.
As of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
the present value calculated by the Bank for these securities amounted to 796,534 and 194,538, respectively.
As required under Central Bank
Communiqué “A” 5506, BAADEs (Argentine saving bonds for the economy development) were valued at acquisition
cost increased by the accrued internal rate of return, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a).
| 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.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos,
except for where indicated)
| b.4) | Instruments issued by the Central
Bank – Holdings booked at amortized cost: |
Holdings with no volatility published
by the Central Bank were valued at acquisition cost plus accrued interest, exponentially applying the internal rate of return
as per their issuance terms and conditions, in accordance with the criterion stated in Note 3.5.a), wherever applicable. The accruals
of the internal rate of return mentioned above were recorded in the related statements of income.
| b.5) | Private Securities – Investment in listed private
securities: |
They were valued at the quoted
price as of the last respective business day. Differences in quoted prices were recorded in the related statements of income.
| c) | Guaranteed loans – Presidential Decree No. 1387/2001: |
As set forth in Central Bank
Communiqués “A” 4898, “A” 5180, as supplemented, the guaranteed loans issued by the Argentine Government
under Presidential Decree No. 1387/01 were valued at the specific acquisition value of each security, increased by accrued income
including the benchmark stabilization coefficient (CER), net of the related offset account, compared in turn with the present
values reported by the Central Bank.
As of December 31, 2015 and
2014, the present value reported by the Central Bank for these securities amounted to 533,962 and 429,982, respectively.
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.
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 fiscal year, 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
fiscal year.
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”.

| 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. |
| ii. | Certificates of participation:
they were stated at cost or face value increased as the case may be, by interest accrued
until the last respective day, translated into Argentine pesos according to the method
described in Note 3.5.a), as appropriate. |
The values recorded, net of allowances,
do not exceed the recoverable values from the respective trusts.
| g.4) | Unlisted corporate bonds purchased: |
They were valued by the accrual
method based on their internal rate of return, as provided by Central Bank Communiqué "A" 4414, as supplemented.
Such accruals were recorded in the related statements of income.
| g.5) | Non subordinated corporate bonds
issued: |
They were valued at the amount
due for principal and interest accrued, translated into pesos pursuant to the method described in Note 3.5.a). Such accruals were

| g.6) | Receivables from forward transactions
without delivery of underlying assets: |
They were valued at the amounts
outstanding originated in forward transactions of foreign currency payables in pesos without delivery of the underlying asset.
Such amounts arise from the difference between quoted price of transactions on the last respective business day and the related
future price agreed.
| h) | Receivables from financial leases: |
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 fiscal year, 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 of December 31, 2015 and
2014, the Bank estimated an income tax charge of 2,207,000 and 1,785,000, respectively; hence, no minimum presumed income tax
should be assessed for fiscal years ended on such dates.

assessed in the 2015 tax return.

Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, individual
and consolidated income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, would have increased
by 100,610. |
| (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. |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos,
except for where indicated)
| (b) | Business combinations: under
the standards set forth by Central Bank, business acquisitions are recorded according
to the book values of the acquired company and, if the purchase price exceeds the book
value, the excess amount is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a positive
goodwill. On the other hand, if the purchase price is lower than book value, the difference
is recorded in the acquiring company´s books as a negative goodwill. If the goodwill
is positive, Central Bank standards establish that such goodwill should be amortized
under the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of ten years. If the
goodwill is negative, Central Bank Communiqué “A” 3984 establishes
specific amortization methods; the maximum amortization allowed per year is 20%. |
According to the Argentine
professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, business combinations are recorded based on the market
values of the acquired company’s identifiable net assets and the difference between the purchase price and the identifiable
net asset measurement value is recorded as either a positive or a negative goodwill, as the case may be. If a positive goodwill
is recognized, this goodwill will be amortized systematically over the estimated useful life, unless it has an indefinite useful
life considering the estimates made by the Bank´s Management, in which case it shall not be amortized, but compared with
its recoverable value as of each year-end. If a negative goodwill is recognized due to expected losses or future expenses of the
acquired entity and which should not have been recorded as liabilities as of the acquisition date, it will either be charged to
the statement of income according to the change in specific circumstances that gave rise to it or systematically, taking into
account an average weighted useful life of the acquired entity’s assets subject to depreciation and amortization.
| (c) | Subsidiary Banco del Tucumán
SA prepares its financial statements in conformity with Central Bank rules which differ
from the Argentine professional accounting standards effective in the City of Buenos
Aires. |
| (d) | Income tax: The Bank and its
subsidiaries determine income tax applying the effective rate to the estimated taxable
income, without considering the effect of the temporary differences between book and
taxable income. According to the Argentine professional accounting standards effective
in the City of Buenos Aires, income tax should be booked following the deferred tax method,
according to which (i) in addition to the current tax payable, either an asset (if certain
conditions are met) or a liability is recognized for deferred taxes related to the tax
effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax valuation of assets and
liabilities, and (ii) a tax expense (income) is recognized in relation to the portion
involving the current tax expense (income) as well as the one involving the deferred
tax expense (income), resulting from the creation and reversal of the abovementioned
temporary differences in the year. Under Argentine professional accounting standards
effective in the City of Buenos Aires, a deferred tax asset is recognized when there
are unused NOLs or tax credits that can be deducted from future taxable income, provided
they are likely. |
| (e) | The Bank books the effects
of the Argentine Supreme Court (CSJN) rulings dated December 27, 2006, and August 28,
2007, upon payment of such precautionary measures, in conformity with Central Bank indications
in the notice dated August 4, 2008. According to the Argentine professional accounting
standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, the Bank should have recorded a liability
related to this item. Additionally, as explained in Note 3.5.m), the Bank booked certain
provisions that should not have been booked under the Argentine professional accounting
standards effective in the City of Buenos Aires, in view of their remote probability
of occurrence (see Note 21.). |
| 6. | IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TOWARDS
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) |
On February 12, 2014 the Central
Bank, through Communiqué “A” 5541 established the general guidelines towards conversion to the IFRS issued
by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) for preparing financial statements of the entities under its supervision,
for the annual fiscal years beginning on January 1, 2018 as well as those of interim-periods.
According to such conversion
process, on March 27, 2015, the Bank presented to the Central Bank, their own implementation plan together with the appointment
of a person in charge, according to Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5635, which was considered and approved by
the Board of Directors on March 10, 2015. Additionally, on September 30, 2015, the Bank presented to the Central Bank the implementation
plan update, which was considered and approved by the Board of Directors on September 16, 2015.
As of the date of issuance
of these financial statements, the Bank is implementing the abovementioned IFRS conversion process.

| 15. | BANK DEPOSIT GUARANTEE INSURANCE
SYSTEM |
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. Such law also provided
for the organization of Sedesa to manage the Deposit Guarantee Fund. Such company was organized in August 1995. The Bank holds
an 8.7559% equity interest therein, according to the percentages set forth in Central Bank Communiqué “B” 10981
of March 26, 2015.
This system shall cover the deposits
up to the amount of 350 in Argentine pesos and foreign currency with the participating institutions as checking accounts, savings
accounts, certificates of deposit or any other modes determined by the Central Bank, as long as the requirements under Presidential
Decree No. 540/1995 and any others established by the enforcement agency are fulfilled. 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.
The Bank is related to different
types of trusts. The different trust agreements are disclosed below, according to the Bank’s business purpose:
| 16.1 | Financial trusts for investment purposes |
The Bank holds investment as describe
in Note 7.2.
Debt securities include mainly:
| - | prepayments towards the
placement price of trust securities of the financial trusts under public offerings, made
by the Bank through underwriting agreements (Mila, Garbarino, Credicuotas consume and
Credimas). 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 and, |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
| - | debt securities related to Loma Blanca Financial Trust. |
According to the latest accounting
information available as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the corpus assets of the trusts, exceed the carrying
amount in the related proportions.
Additionally, Note 7.1. to the
consolidated financial statements, includes a list of the holdings for investment held by the Bank´s subsidiaries.
| 16.2 | 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014,
considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed through
Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) of this type of trusts amounted to 35,339 and 20,668, respectively.
Additionally, Note 7.2. to the
consolidated financial statements includes a list of those trusts with similar purposes to those included in this note, but created
with corpus assets transferred by the Bank’s subsidiaries.
| 16.3 | 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 December 31, 2015 and 2014,
considering the latest available accounting information as of the date of the financial statements, the assets managed by the
Bank and Macro Fiducia SA (subsidiary) amounted to 176,113 and 493,078, respectively.
| 16.4 | Trusts in which the Bank acts as trustee (management) |
The Bank performs management duties
of the corpus assets directly according to the agreements, performing only trustee duties and has no other interests in the trust.
In no case shall the Trustee be
liable with its own assets or for any obligation deriving from the performance as trustee. Such obligations do not imply any type
of indebtedness or commitment for the trustee and they will be fulfilled only through trust assets. In addition, the trustee will
not encumber the corpus assets or dispose of them beyond the limits established in the related trust agreements. The fees earned
by the Bank from its role as trustee are calculated according to the terms and conditions of the agreements.
Trusts usually manage funds derived
from the activities performed by trustors, for the following main purposes:
| - | 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. |

Within the framework of the Corporate
Governance policy, the Board of Directors of the Bank resolved the creation of a Risk Management Committee and appointed a Comprehensive
Risk Manager.
Its duties includes ensuring that
an independent risk management be established, establishing policies, procedures and measurement methodologies and report systems
which allow the identification, measurement and monitoring of the risk under its charge and also, the duties of each organizational
level in the process.
The Comprehensive Risk manager
coordinates the heads of financial risk, credit risk and operational risk.
The risk management process includes
the establishment of the exposure limits for each risk by the Board of Directors, a follow-up on the exposure to each limit by
the persons in charge, the preparation of regular reports for the Risk Management Committee, a follow-up on the alerts and the
implementation of action plans regarding the alerts and the guidelines for developing stress tests.
The system is supplemented with
policies and procedures specific to each risk (financial, credit, operational, counterparty credit, country risk, securitization,
reputational, compliance, strategic risks, among others).
In addition, the Credit Risk Management
area is in charge of interpreting, executing and guaranteeing the application of the General Credit Policy approved by the Board
of Directors, ensuring proper identification, assessment, control, follow-up and mitigation of the credit risk, pursuant to the
internal and external standards and regulations on the matter. Credit Risk Management reports functionally to the Deputy General
Commercial Manager.
Comprehensive risk managment
“The Comprehensive Risk Management
area is formed by the Financial Risk, Credit Risk and Operational Risk sectors. The main procedures carried out are:
The process of stress test includes
documenting and formalizing the program as well as the persons in charge of carrying it out, the frequency of testing and the
validation of the system. It also contemplates the Contingency Plan based on the test results. The Risk Management Committee leads
and coordinates this application.
| · | Economic
capital calculation |
The Comprehensive risk Department
estimates the economic capital for each one of the individual risks (market, liquidity, interest rate, credit, counterparty credit,
concentration, operational, securitization, strategic and reputational) determined for the Bank on a consolidated basis. The methods
used for subsidiaries are exactly the same.
Quantified economic capital was
implemented as a formal procedure, both currently and prospectively, and is a tool used in the day-to-day management of risks,
in preparing the Business Plan and the Stress Tests.
The methods used to measure the
economic capital of each risk were documented and approved by Management, pursuant to the internal rules on Corporate Governance
and Risk Management.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
The most significant risks managed
by the Bank are disclosed as follows:
Financial risk is understood to
be the group comprising Liquidity, Market and Interest Rate risks, which, independently or in an interrelated manner, can affect
the Bank’s liquidity and solvency.
Definitions
Liquidity Risk is mainly understood
to be the funding liquidity risk, defined as that in which Grupo Macro is unable to efficiently meet cash flows that are both
expected and unexpected, current and noncurrent and with guarantees, without hindering daily operations or the financial situation.
Market Liquidity Risk is understood to be the risk that the Bank may not be able to offset or unwind a position at market price.
Market Risk is defined as the possibility
of incurring losses in on-and off-balance sheet positions as a result of adverse fluctuations in the market price for various
assets.
Interest Rate Risk is defined as
the possibility that there may be changes in the Bank’s financial situation as a result of fluctuations in the interest
rates, which may have adverse effects on the Bank’s net financial income and financial value.
Process
The Bank has strategies, policies
and limits defined for each exposure which have been approved by the Board of Directors within the framework of Market, Liquidity
and Interest Rate Risk management. These are also applicable to the subsidiaries in a consolidated framework. This process is
reviewed periodically by the Risk Management Committee in accordance with Central Bank guidelines for Financial Institutions Risk
Management and the adjustments or amendments approved by the Board of Directors.
The purpose of the Financial Risk
Policy is to ensure that the Risk Management Committee and Senior Management have the proper procedures, tools and information
enabling them to measure, manage and control the applicable risks.
The Risk heads will report regularly,
to the Assets and Liabilities (Cap) and the Risk Management Committees on the financial risk exposure and the effects that may
be caused in the Bank´s financial margin. A set of predetermined reports is prepared enabling a clear comparison between
the existing exposure and the policy on limits.
The Cap is in charge of setting
out the Bank’s financial strategy, analyzing the markets and establishing the policies on assets and liabilities, considering,
market, liquidity, interest rate and currency risks.
The Financial Risk area uses the
following instruments in preparing its reports: sensitivity analysis, stress tests, index curves and other simulations. The adoption
of measures regarding the detected departures based on the information provided is left to Senior Management’s discretion,
for which it must take into consideration several factors such as the market conditions or the complexity and variety of transactions,
considering the defined action plans. The Risk Management Committee learns about these situations and the plans implemented, analyzing
the impact on risk exposure. As a result, it may require an explanation about the case from Senior Management or, based on its
survey, recommend adjustments to the policies, procedures and limits to the Board of Directors.
The goal set by the Board of Directors
is to maintain an adequate degree of liquidity through the prudent management of assets and liabilities, in regard to both the
cash flow as well as the concentration thereof.
The administration of liquidity
is supported by an adequate planning process that considers the current and future cash needs, as well as possible changes in
economic, political, regulatory and other conditions.
This makes it necessary to identify
forecast and possible cash outflows, as well as alternative strategies to handle assets and liabilities in critical situations.
The reports prepared contemplate
the following aspects: changes in yield curves; a mismatch of assets and liabilities in relation to currency, rates, terms and
based on their volatility and speed of realization; changes, rates and volatility of term deposits, and the participation of institutional
investors; liquidity and interest rate risk; established limits and issuance of warnings.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
The Bank evaluates the Liquidity
Risk situation through different tools, some of which include:
| - | Cash
Flow at Risk (CFAR): it is calculated as the difference between the liquidity gap, obtained
in the average or expected scenario and that resulting from the critical scenario. The
liquidity average scenario is obtained from the arithmetic mean of simulated liquidity
scenarios, while the critical scenario is obtained by applying the percentile related
to that confidence level for that set of simulation; |
| - | stress
tests: they are used to quantify the impact as a result of illiquidity scenarios arising
from different shocks in the risk factors involved; |
| - | Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR): this indicator shows the liquidity coverage over the outflows of
funds within the next 30 days. Through different weightings factors established by Basel,
the indicator is able to capture those outflows in systemic stress situations. |
Market Risk is measured by computing
the Var (value at risk), which consists in the maximum expected loss for a trading portfolio over a certain period of time and
with a 99% confidence level.
As to the interest rate risk, Economic
Value methodology (EVM), is used to measure the risk of sensitive assets and liabilities to interest rate. Through stochastic
processes, different interest rate scenarios are estimated, for which different Bank´s economic values will be obtained.
Var is the difference between the expected economic value (“mean value”) and the economic value for a specific confidence
level and holding period as a result of simulations.
There are Contingency Plans which
are assessed and reviewed on a regular basis by the Risk Management Committee.
Credit risk
The Credit Risk Area reporting
to the Comprehensive Risk Management area participates in the development of the individual stress test program for credit risk
and comprehensive stress tests, cooperates in defining scenarios and follows up results. It also participates in the design and
implementation of contingency plans for credit risk purposes.
It is in charge of reviewing and
adapting methodology and the economic capital calculation model for credit risk purposes through the capital adequacy assessment
process, which, with different development and implementation stages, form part of the Bank Action Plan being undertaken to adjust
to local regulations (Communiqués “A” 5394 and “A” 5398), the Basel principles and best practices
for risk management.
This area is in charge of proposing
and monitoring the internal limits of tolerance to credit risk, as well as defining indicators, specifying their calculation method
and expressing the grounds used for alert and cap selection. Its include an automated tool for the calculation of key performance
indicators, for which alert and limit values have been determined in order to monitor business changes according to the risk appetite
defined by the Board of Directors. The results produced by this tool are included in a report on the credit risk tolerance limits,
which is submitted to the Risk Management Committee for its consideration and to adopt corrective measures where necessary
Securitization risk
The Bank and its subsidiaries do
not assume any significant risks involving securitization activities. This operation consists mainly in financing, such as prepayments
of prices and underwriting in the placement of debt securities of Corporate Banking customers, loans to trusts which are given
the same treatment as legal entities and potentially securitizing the proprietary portfolio.
Holding debt securities or certificates
of participation in trust generally creates exposure related mainly to credit risk and interest rate risk, just as in a traditional
credit transaction. Therefore, they are included in the assessment and administration of each one of the risks involved.
Operational risk
The Bank adopted the definition
of Operational risk under the Basel II Accord and the definition established by the Central Bank through its Communiqué
“A” 5398, which consists in the risk of suffering losses due to the lack of adjustment or defects in the internal
processes, systems or persons, or due to external events.
This definition includes legal
risk but excludes strategic and reputation risk.
The Bank has policies, procedures
and structures, appointing a Head of Operational Risk. The Operational Risk Committee’s main mission is to secure an Operational
Risk Management plan which includes policies, programs, measurements and competencies for identifying, assessing and managing
risks, with the purpose of assisting Area Managers and the Bank’s Board of Directors, in an environment of rapidly changing
and significant risks.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
In this context, the Evolutionary
Comprehensive Operational Risk Management Model was developed, which involves the identification, measurement, management and
monitoring of operational risks. A training plan was designed to begin conveying the concepts inherent to Operational Risk and
the cultural change that this generates, and an implementation plan of the model was put into practice to achieve full implementation
of all of its stages.
A quantitative approach is used
to measure operational risk and technological risk, which includes the following:
| - | assessing
all relevant processes; |
| - | integrating
the operational and technological risk assessment models; |
| - | applying
risk impact and frequency evaluation matrices for the assessment of processes and subprocesses;
|
| - | the
quantitative assessment of the risks, identifying action plans and proposals for improving
the critical processes, all in full compliance with the objectives set forth; |
| - | the
procedure to gather information on events and losses, the purpose of which is to reduce
incidents and loss amounts, thus incorporating a quantitative assessment into the risk
management model, by registering risk events and losses in a centralized database; |
| - | the
IT tool put into practice to manage operational risk, used to manage identified risks
and calculate the different indicators so as to have an information system providing
an overall view of the results of the different practices and tools involved in operational
risk management; and |
| - | the
methodology through which the IT areas identify, assess and control the risks related
to the Bank’s information assets and to specific events, creating information that
is later taken into account in decision-making processes. |
As regards Risk Management related
to the IT and information systems, the Bank has contingency and business continuity plans in place to minimize the risks that
could affect the Bank’s continuity of operations.
The Bank has an incentives system
to manage operational risk in such a way that it would encourage involvement and risk assessment. The risk assessment policy has
also been reinforced for new products and in modifications to existing products.
In addition, the implementation
of improvements on the different functions of the risk management system also continued.
Credit risk management
Credit Risk Management is in charge
of interpreting, executing and guaranteeing the application of the General Credit Policy approved by the Board of Directors, ensuring
proper identification, assessment, control, follow-up and mitigation of the credit risk, pursuant to the internal and external
standards and regulations on the matter.
Credit risk results from the possibility
of loss derived from customers or counter-parties from fully or partially breaching financial obligations they have undertaken
with the Bank.
The Bank has counter-party and
credit risk policies and strategies the purpose of which is to ensure that risks fall within a risk tolerance level decided by
the Board of Directors and Central Bank and other oversight agency regulations.
It has the proper structure, procedures
and different tools (information systems, rating and monitoring systems, measurement models, recovery policies) which enable it
to handle risk effectively.
For loan granting, there are specific
policies and procedures for Corporate Banking clients and Consumer Banking clients, which in turn differ, according to the segment
to which they belong (Public or Private Payroll, Retirees or Open Market).
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
Credit risk assessment for Consumer
Banking clients includes the use of risk applications based on screening and scoring methods related to an arrears level. There
is also a mass-scale and centralized qualification process for clients (which allows branches to provide assistance within defined
margins) and credit prequalification models for assessment of potential customers from different sales campaigns.
Loans to Corporate Banking clients
are analyzed in Credit Committee, which are made up of business and risk area officers from different levels, with powers to operate
within them. Specialized risk analysts prepare a risk report per client (or group of companies), which serves to support the credit
decisions made by Committee members. There are also decentralized assessment methods for Agro, SMEs and Microprojects, including
screening and scoring parameters, which allow speeding up the approval of predefined products and smaller amounts. In order to
authorize transactions involving lower amounts or self-liquidating collaterals, or temporary transactions, special credit powers
have been granted to higher-rank officers based on their knowledge, experience and training.
Once the credit limits have been
approved, the Credit Administration and Transactions Department controls the formalities and settlement of the transactions and
every month it reviews the classification of debtors and the debtors’ guarantees, assessing the sufficiency of the provisions
according to the standards established by the Central Bank.
In order to manage credit risk,
assessment or score models are used (for admission, behavior and collections) for Retail Banking and Company Rating Models at
different stages of the credit cycle, allocating an internal risk rating to customers, according to which the assigned credit
limits are managed and according to which the portfolio is monitored. These tools are supplemented with the Expected Loss and
Provision Models prepared by Management.
In turn, the Credit recovery Management
Department is in charge of managing the recovery of non performing loans, aiming at integrating these actions into the other risk
instances, which increases the efficacy of collection processes and provides information on recovery management results, so as
to adjust the origination and expected loss models.
20. | | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY POLICY |
As a financial institution, Banco
Macro SA’s business activity is governed by Financial Institutions Law No. 21,526, as supplemented, and the regulations
issued by the Central Bank. Moreover, the Bank adheres to the good banking practices laid out in Central Bank Communiqué
“A” 5201 (Guidelines for Corporate Governance in Financial Institutions) as supplemented.
The Bank publicly trades its shares
on the BCBA and, thus, it is subject to the regulations issued by the CNV.
Through General Resolution No.
622/13, the CNV established the minimum contents of the Corporate Governance Code, adding notions of good corporate governance
to corporate management as guidelines or recommendations that seek to provide transparency thereto. The CNV does not require that
the recommendations be implemented, although it does require that the Bank explain the reasons why it decided not to adopt the
good practices described in such resolution by publishing a document called Information Report on Corporate Governance together
with the letter to the shareholders for the fiscal year; the report is available on the website and that of such enforcement agency.
This regulation reinforces the
notions contained in Capital Markets Law establishing principles such as “full disclosure”, “transparency”,
“efficiency”, “public investor protection”, “equal footing between investors” and “protection
of the stability of financial institutions and financial intermediaries”.
Moreover, as the Bank lists its
shares on the NYSE, qualifying as a foreign private issuer, it is required to comply with certain corporate governance standards
as established in section 303A of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, as amended.
The main guidelines under
Central Bank Communiqué “A” 5293 as supplemented are as follows:
| · | Board
of Directors, Senior Management and Committees |
The Bank’s Board of Directors
is currently made up of ten members. Members are renewed by thirds and the appointed Directors remain in office for three fiscal
years. Directors are appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
Tree directors are independent,
according to the guidelines set by CNV and the Central Bank regulations.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally

Directors should be morally suitable,
experienced and knowledgeable in the banking business and meet the requirements established in the effective regulations.
Compliance with these requirements
is assessed when the Shareholders’ Meeting appoints the directors and on a regular basis during their term of office.
In this regard, through its CREFI
(Creation, Operation and Expansion of Financial Institutions) circulars, the Central Bank establishes the assessment criteria
used for granting the authorization to the directors appointed by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
The Board of Directors delegates
the usual affairs related to management and corporate activities to an Executive Committee with the assignment of specific duties
as defined in the Bank’s bylaws.

9. and 3. to the stand-alone and consolidated financial statements, respectively).
Business lines
The Bank’s business lines
and transactions with trusts are mentioned in Notes 1. and 16., respectively.
The Bank has a personnel incentives
system based on the identification of officers’ “outstanding performance”, which is understood to be their contribution
in connection with the obtained results and their manner of conducting management.
The Incentives Committee is in
charge of ensuring for the financial incentives for personnel system to be consistent with the culture, the objectives, the business
in the long term, the strategy and the control environment of the Bank, and the prudent assumption of risks. The Incentives Committee
is the body responsible for approving the Compensation Policy (salary and variable incentives), as well as any reviews it may
require.
The Incentives System in place
is based on assessing personal competence and performance associated with the compliance of non-related organizational objectives
to be compensated based on extraordinary profit targets or direct financial achievement. The system is also adjusted according
to the objective premise of generating sustained revenues (on a sustainable basis), thus, when establishing the total amount of
compensation with regard to income (loss) for the year, extraordinary income is not taken into account. The system only provides
cash compensation.
The Compensation Policy also includes
a specific chapter regarding how remuneration is set and adjusted. In this case, the idea is to compensate personnel by ensuring
performance recognition, internal equity, external competitiveness, productivity, efficiency and added value, finding an appropriate
point of equilibrium with the business’s economic capacity and consistency in the long term.
The following aspects are taken
into consideration:

| · | Codes
of ethics and conduct |
The Bank adheres to the best practices
and requires that all its employees act according to the highest standards of personal and professional integrity in all aspects
of their activities.
In addition, compliance with its
Code of Conduct and other policies and procedures governing employee conduct is considered to be essential. Moreover, the Code
of Ethics for directors and officers is supplemental to the Bank’s Code of Conduct.
The Bank is a financial agent
for the Provinces of Misiones, Salta and Jujuy. In addition, the subsidiary Banco del Tucumán SA is a financial agent for
the Province of Tucumán and the Municipality of San Miguel de Tucumán. See also Notes 2.1. through 2.4.
| · | Transactions
with related parties – Policy on conflict of interest |
As an authorized financial institution,
Banco Macro S.A. complies with the provisions and reporting requirements established in Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions
Law No. 21,526 and the regulations issued by the regulatory agency (Central Bank).
As established by the legislation
(Argentine General Associations Law No. 19,550), specific applicable regulations (Capital Markets Law as supplemented), professional
accounting standards (TR No. 21) and best practice recommendations, the Bank reports on the transactions with related parties
in notes to the financial statements. Such transactions are carried out under usual market conditions. See also Notes 9. and 3.
to the stand-alone and consolidated financial statements, respectively.
Under current Argentine legislation,
directors are required to perform their duties with the loyalty and diligence of a prudent business man. Directors are jointly
and severally liable before the Bank, the shareholders and third parties for a poor performance of duties and infringements to
the law, bylaws and regulations, as the case may be, and are responsible for repairing the damages caused by fraud, abuse of authority
or negligence.
The loyal duties of a director
are considered to include: (i) the ban from using corporate assets and the confidential information to which he/she may have access
for personal purposes; (ii) the ban from taking advantage or, due to errors or omissions, allowing a third party to take advantage
of the Bank’s business opportunities, (iii) the obligation of acting as director only for the purposes established in the
law, the Bank’s bylaws or the intention of the shareholders or the Board of Directors; and (iv) the obligation of taking
extreme care so that the acts conducted by the Board of Directors have no direct or indirect effects against the Bank’s
interest.
A director should notify the Board
of Directors and the Audit Committee about any conflict of interest there may be in a transaction proposal and should refrain
from voting on the matter.

Reason: Potential non-compliance with

Directors of Banco Macro SA).
The Bank Management and its legal advisors
consider no further significant accounting effects than could arise from the effect of the above mentioned situations.
| 22.1. | 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). |
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 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 the 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) | Afip challenged a compensation
amount arising from the tax on bank account transactions for 2008, which was used to
settle the amount reported in the income tax return filed by former Banco Bisel for tax
period 2008, taking into account that the origin could only be computed as from the tax
period following the one in which it was used. An appeal was filed with the Federal Administrative
Tax Court in order to challenge the resolution issued by the Afip. |
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
| c) | City of Buenos Aires tax authorities
attributed a turnover tax difference to Banco Macro SA for fiscal period 2002, in relation
to the treatment of the compensation bond, over which a precautionary measure was issued
in 2009 in favor of the Bank by the Federal Court of First Instance in Countentios and
Administrative No. 6, which was confirmed by the Sala IV of the CNACAF. |
| d) | City of Buenos Aires tax authorities
attributed a turnover tax difference to former Banco Privado de Inversiones for fiscal
periods 2002 and 2003. On October 19, 2015, Courtroom II of the Administrative and Tax
Contentious Court of Appeals confirmed the trial court decision as it agreed with the
Bank in that the “compensation bond” is not subject to turnover tax. On December
21, 2015, the Bank was notified that the Buenos Aires City Government filed an action
for declaration of unconstitutionality with the Buenos Aires City Highest Court, which
is pending resolution. In 2009, the Buenos Aires City Government filed a collection claim
and obtained an attachment for 827 (see also Note 8). |
Additionally, there are other
appeals filed with the Tax Court, which are not relevant.
| 22.2. | Moreover, as a result of a
lawsuit filed in 2007 by consumers’ association “ADECUA” claiming about
various aspects related to the collection of the “life insurance” charge
for products marketed by former Banco Privado de Inversiones SA, on November 29, 2010,
the parties reached a settlement agreement, approved by the Federal Commercial Court
in and for the City of Buenos Aires No. 3, clerk’s office No. 5, and complied with
by the Bank. |
However, on March 22, 2013, the
judge hearing the case ordered to adjust the performance of the agreement, as regards the reimbursement of the funds to the customers
from whom the charge had been collected, a resolution which was appealed by the Bank.
On April 24, 2014, the Court of
Appeals dismissed the appeals filed and changed what was resolved in First Instance, ordered the Agreement nullity, to continue
with the proceeding and to allow the Bank to answer the complaint. Such resolution was appealed by the Bank.
Additionally, there are other
claims filed by consumers’ associations against the Bank, which are not relevant.
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.
| 23. | CHANGES IN THE ARGENTINE
MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT, AND THE SITUATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL AND CAPITAL SYSTEM AND
THE BANK |
The international and local macroeconomic
context generates a certain degree of uncertainty regarding its future progress as a result of the volatility of financial assets,
the foreign exchange market and the economic level growth, among other issues, which has been observed globally with various degrees
of intensity and different behavior, over the last few years. In addition, at a local level, there is hight volatility of government
and private securities and in interest rates, as well as somewhat increase significant changes in the prices for other relevant
economic variables, such as salary costs, the prices of the main raw materials and the exchange rate. In addition, resolution
is currently pending in a claim against the Argentine Government by holders of government securities who did not join the debt
restructuring carried out in 2005 and 2010, which has generated consequences in the interest payment service of certain government
securities.
Specifically in connection with
the Argentine foreign exchange market, from October 2011 through mid-December 2015, there were certain restrictions to access
the MUyLC (single and freely-floating foreign exchange market), the only market approved by Argentine regulations for purchasing
and selling foreign exchange. As from that date, the new authorities of the Federal Government made appropriate amendments to
current foreign exchange regulations, while there was a significant Argentine peso depreciation with respect to the US dollar.
The Federal Government has also
implemented new monetary and tax policies, such as the regulation of lending and borrowing rates, restrictions to foreign currency
positions and operations involving foreign-currency futures at the different markets, among others.
Therefore, the Bank’s Management
permanently monitors the change of the abovementioned situations in international and local markets, to determine the possible
actions to adopt and to identify the possible impacts on its financial situation that may need to be reflected in the financial
statements for future periods.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015
(Translation of financial statements originally
issued in Spanish – See Note 26)
(Figures stated in thousands of pesos, except
for where indicated)
| 24. | RESTRICTION ON EARNINGS
DISTRIBUTION |
| a) | According to Central Bank regulations
20% of income for the year plus / minus prior-year adjustments and less accumulated losses
as for the prior year-end, if any, should be allocated to the Legal Reserve. Consequently,
upcoming Shareholders´ Meeting shall apply 1,001,684 out of “Unappropriated
retained earnings” to increase such legal reserve. |
| b) | As established in the issuance
conditions for the instruments representing long term debt mentioned in Note 11.a.1),
the upcoming Shareholders’ Meeting shall apply 190,198 out of “Unappropriated
retained earnings” to set a special reserve for the interest to be paid upon the
maturities, taking place in June and December 2016. |
| c) | Under Law No. 25,063, dividends
to be distributed in cash or in kind in excess of taxable income accumulated as of the
end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the payment or distribution date shall be
subject to a 35% income tax withholding as a single and definitive payment. For this
purpose, income to be considered in each year will result from adding dividends or earnings
from other corporations not computed in the calculation of those earnings in the same
tax period(s) to the earnings determined under application of Income Tax Law, and deducting
the tax paid for the tax period(s) in which the earnings, or the related proportional
amount, being distributed were generated. |
Additionally, from the amendments
introduced by Law No. 26,893, 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.
| d) | Through Communiqué “A”
5827 with effective date January 1, 2016, the Central Bank establishes the general procedure
to distribute earnings, keeping the provisions under Communiqué “A”
5694 effective through December 31, 2015. According to that procedure, earnings may only
be distributed previously express authorization of the Central Bank, and only if the
following circumstances are met like not records of financial assistance from the Central
Bank due to illiquidity or shortages in payments of minimum capital or minimum cash requirement
deficiencies, there are no sanctions established by certain regulators entities, weighted
to be significant, and/or no corrective measures have been applied, among other previous
conditions listed in the abovementioned communiqué. |
Therefore, earnings may only be
distributed to the extent that income was booked, after deducting, on a nonaccounting basis, from unappropriated retained earnings
and the voluntary reserve for future distribution of earnings, the amounts of the legal 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 monetary regulation instruments issued by the Central Bank not valued at market value
and the amounts recognized in the bank assets due to court cases related to deposits, among other items.
On December 31, 2015, an adjustment
to Unappropriated retained earnings was performed as a result of the positive difference arise from the book value and the market
value of unlisted government securities for an amount of 31,020.
In addition, the maximum amount
to be distributed cannot exceed the minimum capital requirements, considering solely for this purpose a 75% incremental adjustment
to the total minimum capital required.
Finally, the Bank shall verify
whether –after the proposed earning distribution– a capital maintenance margin equal to 0.875% of risk-weighted assets
is kept, apart from the minimum capital required by regulations, to be integrated by of level-1 ordinary capital (COn1), net of
deductible items (CDCOn1).
| e) | Under CNV General Resolution No.
593, the Shareholders’ Meeting in charge of analyzing the annual financial statements
will be required to establish a specific use for the Bank’s retained earnings,
whether through the actual distribution of dividends, the capitalization thereof through
the delivery of bonus shares, the creation of voluntary reserves additional to the legal
reserve or a combination of any of these applications. |
Among other issues, the Regular Shareholders´
Meeting held on April 23, 2015, decided to distribute cash dividends up to the amount of 596,254. Such distribution is pending
approval by Central Bank.

| 1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AND SUBSIDIARIES |
| 1.1. | Valuation and disclosure criteria: |
According to the procedures
provided by Central Bank rules - Communiqué “A” 2227, as supplemented - and Argentine Federation of Professionals
Councils in Economic Sciences Technical Resolution No. 21, the Bank has consolidated line-by-line its balance sheets, the statements
of income and cash flows and cash equivalents for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, with the financial statements
of the subsidiaries listed in Note 1.2., as of each respective date.
The financial statements of
the Bank’s subsidiaries have been prepared based on methods similar to those applied by the Bank to prepare its own financial
statements, with respect to assets and liabilities valuation and disclosure, income (loss) measurement and restatement procedures,
as explained in Note 3. to the Bank’s stand-alone financial statements.
The receivables/payables and
transactions between the companies were eliminated in the consolidation process.

The financial statements of
Macro Bank Limited were adapted to Central Bank rules. Also, as they are originally stated in US dollars, they were translated
into pesos following the procedures indicated below:
| a) | Assets and liabilities were
converted at the reference exchange rate at the closing of transactions on the last business
day as of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. |
| b) | Figures related to the owners’
contributions (capital stock, additional paid-in capital and irrevocable capital contributions)
were translated applying the effective exchange rates as of the date on which such contributions
were paid in. |
| c) | Retained earnings were estimated
by the difference between assets, liabilities and owners’ contributions, translated
into pesos, as indicated above. |

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015

(Figures stated in thousands of pesos)
| d) | The amounts of the accounts
in the statements of income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, were
converted into pesos, as described in a). In both cases, the difference between the sum
of the amounts thus obtained and lump-sum income (loss) for each fiscal year (difference
between retained earnings at beginning of fiscal year and retained earnings at the fiscal
year) was recorded in “Other income – Income from long-term investments”
and “Financial income – Difference in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency”
or “Financial expense – Difference in quoted prices of gold and foreign currency”,
as the case may be, in the stand-alone and consolidated financial statements, respectively. |
The main figures included
in the consolidated financial statements arising from the figures of Macro Bank Limited (consolidated with Sud Asesores (ROU)
SA) as of December 31, 2015, considering the translation process mentioned above are as follows:
