NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
NOTE 1. BASIS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES APPLIED
Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (the Company) was
constituted on September 14, 1999, as a financial service holding company organized under the laws of Argentina. The Companys main asset is its interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is a private-sector bank that offers a full spectrum of financial services both to individual and corporate customers.
PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
These consolidated financial statements, which stem from accounting records, have been stated in thousands of Argentine Pesos and are presented in line with
the provisions of Argentine Central Banks (B.C.R.A.) Communiqué A 3147 and supplementary regulations regarding financial reporting requirements for the publication of annual financial statements, with the
guidelines of Technical Pronouncement Nos. 8 and 19 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.) and with the regulations of the National Securities Commission (C.N.V.) (Text
amended in 2013). These financial statements include the balances corresponding to the operations carried out by Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Argentina and abroad.
The financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis with those of its controlled companies, either
directly or indirectly, which are detailed in Note 2.
Due to the fact that Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is the Companys main equity
investment, a financial institution subject to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, and pursuant to the regulations of the C.N.V. (text amended in 2013), the Company has adopted the valuation and disclosure criteria applied by Banco de Galicia y
Buenos Aires S.A., which in some significant aspects differ from Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos Aires. (See Note 1.16).
Furthermore, the consolidated
financial statements of Sudamericana Holding S.A. were prepared in accordance with the disclosure and valuation criteria approved by the Argentine Superintendence of Insurance; which in some aspects differ from Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos
Aires, in particular as regards the valuation of investments in Secured Loans and certain Government Securities, recoverable values and deferral of acquisition expenses. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the
financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.
These consolidated financial statements include the balances of its subsidiary abroad: Banco
Galicia Uruguay S.A. (in liquidation). The conversion into Pesos of this subsidiarys accounting balances was made according to the following:
i. |
Assets and liabilities were converted into Pesos according to item 1.2 of this Note. |
ii. |
Allotted capital has been computed for the actually disbursed restated amounts. |
iii. |
Retained earnings were determined as the difference between assets, liabilities and the allotted capital. |
iv. |
Net income for the period was determined by the difference between retained earnings at the beginning of the fiscal year and retained earnings at period-end. The balances of income statement accounts were converted into
Pesos applying the monthly average exchange rates recorded in each month of this period. |
v. |
The significant items arising from intercompany transactions, not involving third parties, have been eliminated from the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
CONSIDERATION OF THE EFFECTS OF INFLATION:
Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos Aires provide for that financial statements shall be stated in constant currency, pursuant to the provisions of Technical
Pronouncement Nos. 6 and 17 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.), as amended by Technical Pronouncement No. 39, approved by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of Buenos
Aires on April 16, 2014, as well as interpretation No. 8 of the F.A.C.P.C.E. These GAAP provide for that the adjustment for inflation shall be applied upon an inflationary context, which is present when, among other considerations, there
exists an accumulated rate of inflation reaching or exceeding 100% during three (3) years, taking into consideration, for such purpose, the domestic wholesale price index published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census. Financial
statements reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency up to February 28, 2003, the adjustment for inflation having been discontinued from such date, pursuant to the provisions of Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos
Aires and the requirements of Decree No. 664/03 of the National Executive Branch, Section 268 of General Resolution No. 7/2005 of the Corporation Control Authority, Communiqué A 3921 of the Argentine Central Bank
and General Resolution No. 441/03 of the C.N.V. Resolution M.D. No. 41/03 of the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of Buenos Aires established the discontinuation of the recognition of the changes in the purchasing power of the
currency, effective October 1, 2013.
Even though the variation of the index determined by the Argentine GAAP does not determine the application of
the adjustment for inflation, pursuant to the aforementioned, when reading and analyzing these financial statements one should take into consideration the existence of successive fluctuations in significant economic variables, which took place
during the past fiscal years.
COMPARATIVE INFORMATION:
The comparative information in the Balance Sheet, Schedules and Notes correspond to the end of the previous fiscal year, while that of the Income Statement,
the Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity and Statement of Cash Flows and Cash Equivalents correspond to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Certain figures in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2014
have been reclassified for purposes of their presentation in comparative format with those for this period.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements at a given date requires the Company to make estimates and assessments that affect the amounts of assets and
liabilities reported and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as well as the income and expenses accrued for the period/fiscal year. In this regard, the Company makes estimates in order to calculate, at any given moment, the
allowance for uncollectible receivables, the depreciation and amortization charges, the recoverable value of assets, the income tax charge and the provisions for contingencies, among others. Future actual results may differ from estimates and
assessments made at the date these financial statements were prepared.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
MOST RELEVANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
1.1. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN DOMESTIC CURRENCY
Monetary
assets and liabilities which include, where applicable, the interest accrued at period/fiscal year-end, are stated in period-end currency and therefore require no adjustment whatsoever.
1.2. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
Foreign
currency assets and liabilities have been stated at the U.S. Dollar exchange rate set by the Argentine Central Bank, in force at the close of operations on the last working day of each month.
As of March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, balances in U.S. Dollars were converted applying the reference exchange rate
(figures stated in Pesos: $ 8.8197, $ 8.5520 and $ 8.0098, respectively) set by the Argentine Central Bank.
Assets and liabilities valued in foreign
currencies other than the U.S. Dollar have been converted into the latter currency using swap rates informed by the Argentine Central Bank.
Interest
receivable or payable has been accrued at period/fiscal year-end, where applicable.
1.3. GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECURITIES
Argentine Central Bank regulations set forth, according to the assets most probable use, two valuation criteria for holdings of non-financial public
sector debt instruments:
a. Fair Market Value: These holdings are government securities and monetary regulation instruments included in the
volatilities or present values lists issued by the Argentine Central Bank.
These are recorded at the closing price for each class of securities in the
corresponding markets or at their present value, plus the value of amortization and/or interest coupons due and receivable.
b. Acquisition Cost plus
the I.R.R.: These include government securities and monetary regulation instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank that are not included in the preceding item.
These holdings are recorded at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R. The monthly accrual is charged to income or
an asset offset account, depending on the securities involved.
b.1. Government debt instruments subscribed through swap, payment or exchange by
any other government debt instruments. In the case the market value of each instrument is lower than its book value, 50% of the monthly accrual of the I.R.R. must be charged against an asset offset account. Said offset account shall be reversed by
charging to income to the extent its balance exceeds the positive difference between the market value and book value.
b.2. Monetary regulation
instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank. The monthly accrual of the I.R.R. shall be charged to income.
b.3. Government securities that
were not subscribed through swap with no volatility or present value informed by the Argentine Central Bank. These are recorded at the present value of cash flows discounted by the internal rate of return of instruments with similar characteristics
and duration and with volatility. When the book value exceeds the present value, the monthly accrual shall be recorded to an asset offset account.
b.4. Argentine Saving Bond for Economic Development (BAADE Bono Argentino de Ahorro para el Desarrollo Económico) and Saving
Promissory Note for Economic Development (Pagaré de Ahorro para el Desarrollo Económico), acquired through primary subscription. These are recorded at their acquisition cost, the monthly accrual of the I.R.R. being charged to
income.
Furthermore, those instruments subject to be valued at the fair market value and then decided to be valued at their acquisition cost plus the
I.R.R. may be recorded in this item, when the purpose thereof is to obtain contractual cash flows. In these cases, the maximum amount to be used shall not exceed net liquid assets of 40% of deposits.

(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))

criteria, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. records its holdings as follows:
1.3.1. Holdings Recorded at Fair Market Value
These holdings include trading securities that were valued according to what is stated in item a. above.
The same criterion is applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantees, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

In this account, the Company records the Argentine Saving Bond for Economic Development (BAADE), among others.

1.3.4.
Instruments Issued by the Argentine Central Bank
Holdings of instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank which are included in the volatilities
list have been valued at their closing price in the corresponding markets. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantees, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.
Holdings of instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank which are not included in the volatilities list have been valued at their acquisition cost
increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee and in repo transactions, where appropriate.
1.4. ACCRUAL OF ADJUSTMENTS, INTEREST, EXCHANGE RATE DIFFERENCES, PREMIUMS ON FUTURE TRANSACTIONS AND VARIABLE INCOME
For foreign and local currency transactions with a principal adjustment clause, as well as for those in which rates have been prearranged for terms up to 92
days, the accrual has been recognized on a linear basis.
For local currency transactions at rates arranged for longer periods, interest has been accrued
on an exponential basis.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. received deposits accruing a variable-rate yield pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank
regulations. The fixed-rate yield of each transaction is accrued as per the above-mentioned paragraph, while variable-rate yield is accrued by applying the portion of the agreed yield to the positive variation in the underlying assets price,
which is taken as a basis for determining said variation, occurred between the original arrangement term and the end of the month (See item 1.13. of this Note).
For lending and borrowing transactions, which according to the legal and/or contractual conditions may be applicable, the adjustment by the C.E.R. has been
accrued.
For lending transactions, the Company does not recognize interest accrual when debtors are classified in a non-accrual status.
1.5. OTHER RECEIVABLES RESULTING FROM FINANCIAL BROKERAGE

method value.
1.8. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT AND MISCELLANEOUS ASSETS

months for real estate, up to 120 months for furniture and fixtures and no more than 60 months for the balance of the assets.
The updated residual value
of the assets, taken as a whole, does not exceed their value-in-use at period/fiscal year-end.

1.13. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
TRANSACTIONS
1.13.1. Forward Purchase-Sale of Foreign Currency without Delivery of the Underlying Asset
Mercado Abierto Electrónico (M.A.E.) and Rosario Futures Exchange (RO.F.EX.) have trading environments for the closing, recording and settlement of
financial forward transactions carried out among its agents. The general settlement mode for these transactions is without delivery of the traded underlying asset. Settlement is carried out on a daily basis, in Pesos, for the difference, if any,
between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income.
Forward purchase and sale transactions are recorded under Memorandum Accounts for the notional value traded. Accrued balances pending settlement are recorded
in the category Balances from Forward Transactions without Delivery of Underlying Asset to be Settled under Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and/or Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial
Brokerage, when appropriate.
1.13.2. Purchase-Sale of Interest Rate Futures
These products are traded within the trading environment created by the M.A.E. The underlying asset is the Badlar for private banks for time deposits of more
than one million Pesos for a term from 30 to 35 days. Settlement is carried out on a daily basis for the difference between the forward price or value of the traded underlying asset and the closing price or value, the difference in price being
charged to income. Sale transactions are recorded under Memorandum Accounts for the notional value traded.

ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
In case balances pending settlement exist, they are recorded in the category Balances from Forward
Transactions without Delivery of Underlying Asset to be Settled under Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and/or Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage, when appropriate.
1.13.3. Interest Rate Swaps
These transactions are
conducted within the environment created by the M.A.E., and the settlement thereof is carried out on a monthly basis, in Pesos, for the difference between the cash flows calculated using a variable rate (Badlar for private banks for time deposits of
30 to 35 days) and the cash flows calculated using a fixed rate, or vice versa, on the notional value agreed, the difference in price being charged to income.
Sale transactions are recorded under Memorandum Accounts for the notional value traded.
Accrued balances pending settlement are recorded in the category Balances from Forward Transactions without Delivery of Underlying Asset to be
Settled under Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and/or Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage, when appropriate.
1.13.4. Call Options Bought and Written on Gold Futures without Delivery of the Underlying Asset
These transactions have been conducted with the purpose of hedging the variable yield of the deposits received by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and set
forth by the Argentine Central Bank.
The deposit date, the term to exercise the option and the underlying asset are the same as those for the related
deposit. Notional amounts have been computed so that the offset value of derivative instruments is similar to the variable yield of the investment. Changes in the value of the underlying asset at the time of the arrangement and at period-end,
equivalent to the variable yield, have been recognized in income and are recorded under Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and/or under Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage, as appropriate.
Premiums received and/or paid have been accrued on a straight-line basis during the currency of the agreement.
Call options bought and written on gold
futures have been recorded under Memorandum Accounts Debit-Derivatives - Notional Value of Call Options Bought and under Memorandum Accounts Credit-Derivatives Notional Value of Call Options Written.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s management of financial risks is carried out within the limits of the policies approved by the Board of Directors
in such respect. In that sense, derivative instruments carried out are means for the Company to hedge its risk exposure and/or used as a financial product to develop investment and trading strategies. In both cases, the use of these
instruments is performed within the guidelines of internal policies set forth by the Bank.
1.14. INCOME TAX
Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, at the subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Compañía Financiera Argentina
S.A., the income tax charge is determined by applying the effective tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of any temporary differences between taxable and book income.
1.15. MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX
The minimum presumed
income tax is determined at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at fiscal year-end. Since this tax is supplementary to the income tax, the Companys tax liability for each fiscal year is to coincide with the higher of the two
taxes. However, if the minimum presumed income tax were to exceed income tax in a given fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of the income tax that could be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years. Recognition and
realization stem from the ability to generate future taxable income sufficient for offsetting purposes.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
Based on the foregoing, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has assets for $
12,893 and $ 10,844, respectively.
1.16. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE ARGENTINE CENTRAL BANK REGULATIONS AND ARGENTINE GAAP IN FORCE IN BUENOS AIRES
The main differences between the valuation and disclosure criteria applied to these consolidated financial statements and Argentine GAAP in force in
Buenos Aires are as follows:
1.16.1. Accounting for Income Tax according to the Deferred Tax Method
The subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. determine the income tax charge by applying the
effective tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of any temporary differences between book and taxable income.
Pursuant
to Argentine GAAP in force, the income tax must be recognized using the deferred tax method and, therefore, deferred tax assets or liabilities must be established based on the aforementioned temporary differences. In addition, unused tax loss
carry-forwards or tax credits that may be offset against future taxable income should be recognized as deferred assets, provided that taxable income is likely to be generated.
The application of this criterion, based on projections prepared by the aforementioned subsidiaries, would determine deferred tax assets amounting to $
374,695 as of March 31, 2015 and to $ 337,726 as of December 31, 2014.
1.16.2. Valuation of Government Securities
Argentine Central Bank regulations set forth specific valuation criteria for government securities recorded at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R., which
are described in 1.3.b. of this Note. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos Aires, the above-mentioned assets must be valued at their current value.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the application of this criterion would determine an increase in Shareholders Equity of about
$ 29,768 and $ 7,958, respectively, due to the securities held by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
1.16.3. Allowances for Receivables
from the Non-Financial Public Sector
Current regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank on the establishment of allowances provide that credits
against the public sector are not subject to allowances for loan losses. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, those allowances must be estimated based on the recoverability risk of assets.
1.16.4. Debt Securities and Participation Certificates in Financial Trusts
As of March 31, 2015, there exist no differences between book and market values of the Participation Certificate in Galtrust I Financial Trust, however,
as of December 31, 2014, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s Shareholders Equity would have been reduced by $ 5,982.
1.16.5.
Negative Goodwill
A negative goodwill has been recorded which corresponds to the difference between the acquisition cost paid for the companies
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and their equity method value estimated at the time of the purchase. Such negative goodwill is recorded under the Liabilities Provisions account.
Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, the negative goodwill has to be
charged to income with regard to the causes that have originated it, not to exceed a 60-month straight-line method amortization. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, the negative goodwill that is not related to expenses estimations or estimated future losses
should be recognized as a gain at the time of the purchase.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the negative goodwill balance amounts
to $ 24,781 and $ 49,562, respectively.

ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
1.16.6. Restructured Loans and Liabilities
Restructured loans and financial obligations are valued based on the actually restructured principal amounts plus accrued interest and principal adjustments,
when applicable, minus collections or payments made.
Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, those restructured loans and liabilities, for which modification of
original conditions imply a substitution of instruments, must be recorded on the basis of the best possible estimate of the amounts receivable or payable discounted at a market rate that reflects market evaluations on the time value of money and the
specific risks of such assets and liabilities at the time of restructuring.
1.16.7. Conversion of Financial Statements
The conversion into Pesos of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries for the purposes of their consolidation, made in accordance with the
Argentine Central Bank regulations, differs from Argentine GAAP. Argentine GAAP requires that: a) the measurements in the financial statements to be converted into Pesos that are stated in period-end foreign currency (current values, recoverable
values) are converted at the exchange rate of the financial statements date; and b) the measurements in the financial statements to be converted into Pesos that are stated in foreign currency of periods predating the closing date (for example:
those which represent historical costs, income, expenses) be converted at the relevant historical exchange rates, restated at period-end currency, when applicable due to the application of Technical Pronouncement No. 17. Exchange-rate
differences arising from conversion of the financial statements shall be treated as financial income or expenses, when appropriate.
The application of
this criterion that replaces what has been stated in this Note does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
1.16.8.
Penalties Imposed on and Summary Proceedings Brought against Financial Institutions
Communiqué A 5689 of the Argentine Central Bank
provides for that, as of January 2015, financial institutions shall establish provisions for 100% of the administrative and/or disciplinary penalties, and those of a criminal nature with a judgment from a lower court, imposed or commenced by the
Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit (U.I.F. as per its initials in Spanish - Unidad de Información Financiera), the C.N.V. and the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance, which have been notified to Banco de Galicia
y Buenos Aires S.A., regardless their level of importance, even when there are legal or administrative measures that stop the payment of fines, and whichever the legal stage of the case. Furthermore, it provides for financial institutions shall
inform such penalties in a note to the financial statements, whether they are determined or not, as well as the summary proceedings commenced by the Argentine Central Bank, as from the moment the institution is given notice thereof.
Pursuant to Argentine GAAP in force in Buenos Aires, such contingencies shall be recorded under liabilities when the possibility their effects take place is
high and they can be appropriately determined in terms of currency. These shall as well be informed in notes to the financial statements. Contingencies which occurrence is considered to be remote shall not be included in the financial statements or
the notes thereto, while those which possibility of occurrence is not considered remote but do not meet the requirements to be recorded under liabilities shall only be informed in notes to the financial statements.
1.17. ADOPTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (I.F.R.S.) BY THE C.N.V.
The C.N.V. has established the application of Technical Pronouncement No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences,
which adopts the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (I.A.S.B.) for certain entities included within the public offering system, whether because of their capital or their notes, or
because they have requested to be included in such system, for financial statements corresponding to fiscal years started as of January 1, 2012.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
The adoption of such standards is not applicable to the Company since the C.N.V., in Article 2 Section
I Chapter I of Title IV: Periodic Reporting System of the C.N.V.´s Pronouncements (Text amended in 2013), exempts banks, insurance companies and companies that invest in banks and insurance companies.
With regard to the requirements set forth in the aforementioned article, the following is detailed:
|
|
Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.s corporate purpose is exclusively related to financial and investment activities; |
|
|
The interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. accounts for 94.29% of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.s assets, being the Companys main asset; |
|
|
94.09% of Grupo Financiero Galicias income stems from the interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s income; and |
|
|
Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. has a 100% interest in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., thus having control over such institution. |
In February 2014, the Argentine Central Bank decided financial institutions should comply with the I.F.R.S., and established an implementation schedule for
such standards, to be effective for fiscal years commenced on January 1, 2018.
As mentioned above, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s Board
of Directors has become aware of the roadmap established by the Argentine Central Bank and has appointed a coordinator and an alternate coordinator, who shall be in charge of the compliance process. On March 20, 2015, it has approved the
Implementation Plan required by regulations, which Plan was submitted to this body on March 27, 2015. Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is currently working on the initial accounting assessment process, by reviewing the main I.F.R.S. to be

NOTE 5. STATEMENT OF DEBTORS STATUS
Loan portfolio classification pursuant to the loan
classification criteria set forth by the Argentine Central Bank is as follows:
COMMERCIAL LOAN PORTFOLIO
|
|
|
Classification: |
|
Description |
|
|
Normal |
|
Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is widely able to meet all of its financial commitments. Among the indicators that can reflect this situation, the following are worth noting: The customer shows a liquid financial
situation, regularly complies with the payment of its obligations, has a qualified and honest management, has an appropriate information system, belongs to a sector of the economic activity or to a business sector that shows an acceptable future
trend and is competitive with regard to the activities it conducts. |
|
|
With Special Follow-Up Under Observation |
|
Cash flow analysis shows, at the time of carrying out the analysis, that the customer is able to meet all of its financial commitments. However, there are possible situations that, in case they are not duly controlled or else
solved, could compromise the customers future repayment capacity. |
|
|
With Special Follow-Up - Under Negotiation or under Refinancing Agreements. |
|
This category includes those customers who, when unable to meet their financial commitments pursuant to the terms and conditions agreed, irrefutably state their intention to refinance their debt. |
|
|
With Problems |
|
Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is unable to meet its financial commitments in a normal manner and that, in case such problems are not solved, they could result in a loss for the financial institution. |
|
|
High Risk of Insolvency |
|
Cash flow analysis shows that the customer is highly unlikely to meet all of its financial commitments. |
|
|
Uncollectible |
|
Customers debts included in this category are considered uncollectible. Even though there is some possibility of recovering these assets under certain circumstances in the future, it is evident they are uncollectible at the
time of the analysis. |

|
|
Deficient Performance |
|
This category includes customers who show some inability to meet their commitments, with payments in arrears of more than 90 days and up to 180 days. |
|

|
|

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
NOTE 28. RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS
The Argentine Central Bank regulations require that
20% of the profits shown in the Income Statement at fiscal year-end, plus (or less), the adjustments made in previous fiscal years and, less, if any, the loss accumulated at previous fiscal year-end, be allocated to the legal reserve.
This proportion applies regardless of the ratio of the Legal Reserve fund to Capital Stock. In the event said reserve is reduced for any reason, no profits
can be distributed until its total refund.
The Argentine Central Bank sets rules for the conditions under which financial institutions can make the
distribution of profits. According to the new scheme, profits can be distributed as long as results of operations are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, that may be legally and statutory required, but also the following items from
Unappropriated Retained Earnings: The difference between the book value and the market value of public sector assets and/or debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank not valued at market price, the amounts capitalized for lawsuits
related to deposits and any unrecorded adjustments required by the external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank.
Moreover, in order for a financial
institution to be able to distribute profits, such institution must comply with the capital adequacy rule, i.e. with the calculation of minimum capital requirements and the regulatory capital.
For these purposes, this shall be done by deducting from its assets and Unappropriated Retained Earnings all the items mentioned in the paragraph above.
Moreover, in such calculation, a financial institution shall not be able to compute the temporary reductions that affect minimum capital requirements,
computable regulatory capital or its capital adequacy.
Through Board of Directors Resolution No. 4, The Argentine Central Bank decided that
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. be considered, for all purposes, a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB). Consequently, for the calculation of the distribution of profits, an additional capital requirement equivalent to 1% of the
risk-weighted assets shall be complied with as of December 2014.
In addition, the Argentine Central Bank requires that computable capital be in excess of
the minimum capital requirements, equal to 75%.
Distribution of profits shall require the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Banks
Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions, whose intervention shall have the purpose of verifying the aforementioned requirements have been fulfilled.
In addition to the aforementioned restrictions established by the Argentine Central Bank, which are applicable to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A., pursuant to Section 70 of the Corporations Law, stock companies shall establish a reserve not lower than 5% of the realized and liquid profits shown in the Income Statement for the fiscal year,
until 20% of the corporate capital is reached. In the event said reserve is reduced for any reason, no profits can be distributed until its total refund.

NOTE 30. CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEPOSIT INSURANCE SYSTEM
Law No. 24485 and Decree No. 540/95
established the creation of the Deposit Insurance System to cover the risk attached to bank deposits, in addition to the system of privileges and safeguards envisaged in the Financial Institutions Law.
The National Executive Branch through Decree No. 1127/98 dated September 24, 1998 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand
deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. Such amount has been established at $ 350 as of November 1, 2014.
This system does not cover deposits made by other financial institutions (including time deposit certificates acquired through a secondary transaction),
deposits made by parties related to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the
Argentine Central Bank based on a daily survey it conducted. Deposits acquired through endorsement and placements made as a result of incentives other than interest rates are also excluded. This system has been implemented through the constitution
of the Deposit Insurance Fund (FGD), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (SE.DE.S.A.). SE.DE.S.A.s shareholders are the Argentine Central Bank and the financial institutions, in the proportion
determined for each one by the Argentine Central Bank based on the contributions made to the fund.
The Argentine Central Bank set the monthly
contributions financial institutions shall make to the Deposit Insurance Fund at 0.015% until October 2014, increasing to 0.06% per month as of November 2014. The aforementioned contribution shall be made with regard to the monthly average of
deposits.

NOTE 34. CONTINGENCIES
TAX ISSUES
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
At the date of these
financial statements, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting audits and assessments mainly regarding the Compensatory Bond
granted by the National Government to compensate financial institutions for the losses generated by the asymmetric pesification of loans and deposits.
As
regards the assessment of tax collection authorities from Buenos Aires, within the framework of the legal actions brought by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. with the purpose of challenging the assessment of the tax collection authorities, a
preliminary injunction was granted by the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters for the amount corresponding to the Compensatory Bond, which was ratified by the Supreme Court of Justice. Therefore, the Court ordered the
A.G.I.P. (Governmental Public Revenue Authority) to refrain from starting tax enforcement proceedings or else requesting precautionary measures for such purpose until a final judgment is issued. The proceedings are currently pending a decision by
the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters with regard to the appeal filed by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. against the decision issued on the core issue by the Court of First Instance in November 2013. In any case, it
is worth noting the decision issued by the federal prosecutor of the Court of Appeals was favorable to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
With regard
to Buenos Aires claims on account of other items, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. adhered to the System for the Settlement of Tax Liabilities in Arrears (Law No. 3461 and the related regulations), which envisaged the total relief of
interest and fines. The Banks adherence to such system was communicated within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities.
In connection with the assessments made by tax collection authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires, under the framework of some of the processes under
discussion at the Provincial Tax Courts stage, at this stage of proceedings the decision issued was: (i) unfavorable to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s request regarding the items not related to the Compensatory Bond, and
(ii) favorable with regard to the non-taxability thereof. Therefore, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. adhered to the System for the Regularization of Tax Debts (Regulatory Decision No. 12 and related decisions), which envisages
discounts on the amounts not related to the Compensatory Bond. The Banks adherence to such system was communicated within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities. In turn, the authorities from the
Province of Buenos Aires objected to the judgment rendered by the Provincial Tax Court with regard to the Compensatory Bond, and requested the Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters of La Plata to set such decision aside. Banco de Galicia y
Buenos Aires S.A. entered an appearance and filed a motion for lack of jurisdiction, since it believes only the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice has jurisdiction to issue a decision on such a matter. On April 15, 2014, the aforementioned
Court sustained the motion for lack of jurisdiction and ordered the proceedings to be filed. The authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Province of Buenos Aires, which has not issued
a decision to date.

(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
Furthermore, regarding the claims made by the different jurisdictions, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
has been expressing its disagreement regarding these adjustments at the corresponding administrative and/or legal proceedings.
These proceedings and
their possible effects are constantly being monitored by Management. Even though Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. considers that it has complied with its tax liabilities in full pursuant to current regulations, the provisions deemed adequate
pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding have been set up.
Tarjetas Regionales S.A.
At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Argentine Revenue Service (A.F.I.P.), Provincial Revenue Boards and Municipalities are
in the process of conducting audits and assessments, in different degrees of completion, at the companies controlled by Tarjetas Regionales S.A. Said agencies have served notices and made claims regarding taxes applicable to Tarjetas Regionales
S.A.s subsidiaries. Therefore, the companies are taking the corresponding administrative and legal steps in order to resolve such issues. The original amount claimed for taxes totals approximately $ 14,490.
Based on the opinions of their tax advisors, the companies believe that the above-mentioned claims are both legally and technically groundless and that taxes
related to the claims have been correctly calculated in accordance with current tax regulations in force and existing case law.
Compañía
Financiera Argentina S.A.
The A.F.I.P. conducted audits on fiscal years 1998 and 1999, not accepting certain uncollectible loans to be recorded as
uncollectible receivables deductible from income tax and minimum presumed income tax. The original amount claimed for taxes by the tax collection authorities totals $ 2,094.
In July 2013, the Federal Tax Court notified the judgment sustaining the appeal filed by the company. Tax collection authorities later filed an appeal against
the aforementioned judgment, which was answered by the company in December 2013. In May 2014, the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters rejected the appeal filed by the A.F.I.P, thus confirming the judgment issued by the
Federal Tax Court, which was favorable to Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. In June 2014, the A.F.I.P. filed an appeal before the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice.
Based on the information available at the date of these financial statements, the company foresees the decision to be issued by the Argentine Supreme Court of
Justice shall not be different from the judgments issued by the other courts that heard the case.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the companies have set
up provisions deemed appropriate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding.
CONSUMER PROTECTION ASSOCIATIONS
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
Consumer Protection
Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. with regard to the collection of certain financial charges.
The Bank considers the resolution of these controversies will not have a significant impact on its financial condition.

NOTE 35. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The tasks related to risk information and internal
control of each of the controlled companies are defined and carried out, rigorously. This particularly affects the Bank, where requirements are stringent, as it is a financial institution regulated by the Argentine Central Bank. Apart from
applicable local regulations, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A., in its capacity as a listed company in the United States, complies with the certification of its internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act
(Sarbanes-Oxley). Corporate risk management is monitored by the Audit Committee, which as well gathers and analyzes the information submitted by the main controlled companies.
The specific function of the comprehensive management of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s risks has been allocated to the Risk Management Division,
guaranteeing its independence from the rest of the business areas since it directly reports to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s General Division and, at the same time, it is involved in the decisions made by each area. In addition, the
control and prevention of risks related to asset laundering, funding of terrorist activities and other illegal activities are allocated to the Anti-Money Laundering Unit Division. The aim of both divisions is to guarantee the Board of Directors that
they are fully aware of the risks Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is exposed to, and they are in charge of designing and proposing the policies and procedures necessary to mitigate and control such risks.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has developed the Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (Proceso de Evaluación de Suficiencia de Capital -
PESC) to assess the relationship between the Banks available and necessary resources to maintain an appropriate risk profile. This process shall also allow identifying both the economic capital needs for future fiscal years and the sources
to meet such needs.
In turn, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has developed a risk appetite framework, which has risk acceptance levels, both on an
individual and a consolidated basis. Within this framework, ratios have been established, which are regularly submitted to the Risk Management Committee.
Each of these ratios has an excess threshold and related actions in case of deviations.
FINANCIAL RISKS
Short- and medium-term financial risks
are managed within the framework of policies approved by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s Board of Directors, which establishes limits to the different risk exposure and also considers their interrelation. Management is supplemented by
contingency plans devised to face adverse market situations. Furthermore, stress tests that make it possible to assess risk exposure under historical and simulated scenarios are created, which identify critical levels of the
different risk factors.
LIQUIDITY
Daily liquidity
is managed according to the set strategy, which seeks to keep liquid resources adequate to mitigate the adverse effects caused by irregular variations in loans and deposits, in addition to coping with stress situations.
The current liquidity policy in force provides for setting limits and monitoring a) liquidity as it relates to stock: a level of Management Liquidity
Requirement was established, taking into consideration the characteristics and behavior of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s different liabilities; and b) cash flow liquidity: gaps between the contractual maturities of consolidated
financial assets and liabilities are analyzed and monitored. There is a cap for the gap between maturities, determined based on the gap accumulated against total liabilities permanently complied with during the first year.
Furthermore, the policy sets forth a contingency plan, by currency type, that determines the steps to be taken and the assets from which additional liquid
resources can be obtained.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND

(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
With the purpose of mitigating the liquidity risk that arises from deposit concentration per customer, Banco
de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has a policy that regulates the concentration of deposits among the main customers.
CURRENCY RISK
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s current policy in force establishes limits in terms of maximum net asset positions (assets denominated
in a currency which are higher than the liabilities denominated in such currency) and net liability positions (assets denominated in a currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in
currency, as a proportion of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s R.P.C.
An adequate balance between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currency is what characterizes the management strategy for this risk factor, seeking to achieve a full coverage of long-term asset-liability mismatches and allowing a short-term mismatch management margin that contributes to the possibility of
improving certain market situations. Short- and long-term goals are attained by appropriately managing assets and liabilities and by using the financial products available in our market, particularly dollar futures both in
institutionalized markets (M.A.E. and RO.F.EX.) and in forward transactions performed with customers.
Transactions in foreign currency futures (Dollar
futures) are subject to limits that take into consideration the particular characteristics of each trading environment.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s exposure to the interest rate risk, as a result of interest rate fluctuations and the different
sensitivity of assets and liabilities, is managed according to the strategy approved. On the one hand, it considers a short-term horizon, seeking to keep the net financial margin within the levels set by the policy. On the other hand, it considers a
long-term horizon, the purpose of which is to mitigate the negative impact on the economic value of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s Shareholders Equity in the face of changes in interest rates.
From a comprehensive viewpoint of risk exposure and contributing to including a risk premium in the pricing process, the aim is to systematically
estimate the economic capital used up by the structural risk as per the financial statements (interest rate risk) and the contribution of the price risk, in its different expressions, to using up the capital.
MARKET RISK
Trading of and/or investment in government
and corporate securities, currencies, derivatives and debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank, which are listed on the capital markets and the value of which varies pursuant to the variation of the market prices thereof, are included
within the policy which limits the maximum authorized losses during a year.
The price risk (market) is daily managed according to the
strategy approved, the purpose of which is to keep Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. present in the different derivatives, variable- and fixed-income markets while obtaining the maximum return as possible on trading, without exposing the latter
to excessive risk levels. Finally, the policy designed contributes to providing transparency and facilitates the perception of the risk levels to which it is exposed.
In order to measure and monitor risks derived from the variation in the price of financial instruments frequently listed in the secondary markets that form
the trading securities portfolio, a model known as Value at Risk (also known as VaR) is used. This model measures, for Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. individually, the possible loss that could be generated by the
positions in securities and currencies under certain parameters. For financial instruments not frequently listed or with no representative listing in the secondary markets, the methodology known as DV01 is used. This consists in estimating the
change of value of a portfolio, for variations of one interest rate percentage point.

(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
CROSS-BORDER RISK
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s foreign trade transactions and management of treasury resources imply assuming cross-border risk
positions. These exposures related to cross-border assets are in line with Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s business and financial strategy, the purpose of which is to provide customers with an efficient commercial assistance and to
improve the management of available liquid resources within an appropriate risk and yield environment.
TRANSFER RISK
The possibility of diversifying funding sources, as contemplated by the liquidity strategy, by obtaining resources in foreign capital markets, involves the
possible exposure to potential regulatory changes that hinder or increase the cost of the transfer of foreign currency abroad to meet liability commitments. The policy that manages the risk of transferring foreign currency abroad thus contributes to
the liquidity strategy and pursues the goal of reaching an adequate balance between liabilities payable to local counterparties and those payable to foreign counterparties in a return-risk proportion that is adequate for Banco de Galicia y Buenos
Aires S.A.s business and growth.
EXPOSURE TO THE NON-FINANCIAL PUBLIC SECTOR
With the purpose of regulating risk exposure with regard to the non-financial public sector, in the national, provincial and municipal jurisdictions, Banco de
Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. defined a policy which by design envisages risk exposure in each jurisdiction, as well as the possible loss of value related to such holdings.
CREDIT RISK
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s
credit granting and analysis system is applied in a centralized manner and is based on the concept of opposition of interests, which takes place when risk management, credit and commercial duties are segregated, with respect to both
retail and wholesale businesses. This allows an ongoing and efficient monitoring of the quality of assets, a proactive management of problem loans, aggressive write-offs of uncollectible loans, and a conservative policy on allowances for loan
losses.
In addition, this system includes the follow-up of the models for measuring the portfolio risk at the operation and customer levels, thus making
it easier to detect problem loans and the related losses. This allows early detection of situations that can entail some degree of portfolio deterioration, appropriately safeguarding the Banks assets.
Credit risk management entails approving the credit risk policies and procedures, verifying compliance therewith and assessing credit risk on an ongoing
basis.
The management of wholesale and retail risks is structured taking into consideration the segments that constitute each of those banking divisions.
Since fiscal year 2014, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. monitors the risk of affiliated companies in a centralized manner.
As an outstanding aspect
we can mention that the credit granting policy for retail banking focuses on automatic granting processes. These are based on behavior analysis models. Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is strongly geared towards obtaining portfolios with direct
payroll deposit, which statistically have a better compliance behavior when compared to other types of portfolios.
As for the wholesale banking, credit
granting is based on analyses conducted on credit, cash flow, balance sheet, and capacity of the applicant. These are supported by statistical rating models and qualitative adjustment models for corporate businesses.
Internal policies were implemented regarding concentration per customer/group, acceptance and concentration per internal rating and review-by-sector. The
latter determines the levels of review for the economic activities belonging to the private-sector portfolio according to the concentration they show with regard to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.s total credit and/or R.P.C.

The Credit Risk Management Division also constantly monitors its portfolio through different indicators
(asset quality of the loan portfolio, provision for the non-accrual portfolio, non-performance, roll rates, etc.), as well as the classification and concentration thereof (through maximum ratios between the exposure to each customer, its own
computable capital or R.P.C. or regulatory capital, and that of each customer). The loan portfolio classification as well as its concentration control is carried out following the Argentine Central Bank regulations.
OPERATIONAL RISK
Pursuant to the best practices and the
guidelines determined by the Argentine Central Bank, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has the Operational Risk Unit, through which it has implemented the Operational Risk Management Framework. This framework includes the Banks policies,
practices, procedures and structures for the appropriate management of Operational Risk.
Operational Risk is the risk of losses due to the lack of
conformity or due to failure of internal processes, the acts of people or systems, or else because of external events. It includes legal risk, but does not include strategic and reputational risks.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. manages operational risk inherent to its products, activities, processes and material systems, technology and information
security processes, as well as risks derived from subcontracted activities and from services rendered by providers. Such management includes the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation of operational risks.
Before launching or introducing new products, activities, processes or systems, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. makes sure its operational risks are
appropriately assessed.
This way, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has the necessary structure and resources to be able to determine the operational
risk profile and thus take the corresponding corrective measures, complying with the regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank on guidelines for operational risk management in financial institutions and operational risk events database.
The minimum capital requirement with regard to the operational risk is determined according to the Argentine Central Bank regulations.
An appropriate management of operational risks also helps improve customer service quality.
In compliance with Communiqué A 5398, securitization, concentration, reputational and strategic risks were identified as significant risks,
and a computation and measurement method was developed, which is currently being implemented. These risks, together with those mentioned previously, were included in the Capital Adequacy Assessment Report (I.A.C., as per its acronym in Spanish),

SECURITIZATION RISK
Securitization is an alternative source of financing and a mechanism for the transfer of risks to investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, securitization
activities and the fast innovation with regard to the techniques and instruments used in such activities also generate new risks, including as follows:
i) Credit, market, liquidity, concentration, legal and reputational risks, due to the securitization positions held or invested, including, among others,
liquidity facilities and credit enhancement granted; and
ii) Credit risk due to the underlying exposures with regard to securitization.

CONCENTRATION RISK
Risk concentration has to do with the exposures or groups of exposures with similar characteristics, for instance when they belong to the same debtor,
counterparty or guarantor, geographic area or economic sector; or because they are secured by the same type of assets used as collateral, with the possibility of generating:
i) Losses with regard to income, regulatory capital, assets or the global risk level, that are significant enough to affect the financial strength of the
financial institution or its ability to keep the financial institutions main transactions; and
ii) A major change in the financial
institutions risk profile.
REPUTATIONAL RISK
Reputational risk is defined as the risk associated with a negative perception of the financial institution by customers, counterparties, shareholders,
investors, account holders, market analysts and other significant market players, which adversely affects the financial institutions ability to keep existing business relationships or establish new relationships, and continue having access to
funding sources such as the interbank market or the securitization market.
STRATEGIC RISK
Strategic risk is that which arises from an inappropriate business strategy or an adverse change in forecasts, parameters, goals and other functions that
support such strategy. Even though estimating this risk is complex, institutions must develop new management techniques that include all the related aspects.

controlling company.

organization requirements, common for large institutions, cannot be applied.

holding company, EBA Holding S.A., which has the number of votes necessary to hold the majority of votes at the Shareholders Meetings, although it does not have any managerial functions over Grupo Financiero Galicia and the Company has no

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
NOTE 1. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These financial statements have been stated in
thousands of Argentine Pesos and prepared in accordance with disclosure and valuation accounting standards contained in Technical Pronouncements issued by the F.A.C.P.C.E., approved by the C.P.C.E.C.A.B.A. and the C.N.V., with the considerations
mentioned in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in relation to the criteria for the valuation of the subsidiaries Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Sudamericana Holding S.A.
The preparation of financial statements at a given date requires the Companys management to make estimates and assessments regarding events and/or
situations and/or circumstances that affect or may affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at that date, as well as the income and expenses recorded for the period/fiscal year.
The Companys management makes estimates in order to calculate, at any given moment, for example, the depreciation charges, the recoverable value of assets, the income tax charge and provisions for contingencies. Estimates and assessments made
at the date these financial statements were prepared may differ from the situations, events and/or circumstances that may finally occur in the future.
On
March 25, 2003, the National Executive Branch issued Decree No. 664 establishing that financial statements for fiscal years ending as from said date be stated in nominal currency. Consequently, in accordance with Resolution No. 441/03
of the C.N.V., the Company discontinued the restatement of its financial statements as of March 1, 2003. This criterion is not in line with Argentine GAAP, under which financial statements are to be restated until September 30, 2003.
Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements.
The index used for restating the items in these financial
statements was the domestic wholesale price index published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (I.N.D.E.C.).
The most significant
accounting policies used in preparing the Financial Statements are listed below:
A. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN DOMESTIC CURRENCY
Monetary assets and liabilities which include, where applicable, the interest accrued at period/fiscal year-end, are stated in period-end currency and
therefore require no adjustment whatsoever.
B. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY (U.S. DOLLARS)
The assets and liabilities in foreign currency were stated at the U.S. Dollar exchange rate set by the Argentine Central Bank, at the close of operations
on the last business day of the period/fiscal year.
Interest receivable or payable has been accrued, where applicable.
C. INVESTMENTS
C.1. Current
Time and special checking account deposits have been measured at their face value, plus accrued interest at period/fiscal year-end.
Argentine mutual fund units have been valued at period/fiscal year-end closing price.
C.2. Non-current
The equity investments in companies are
recognized using the equity method as of period/fiscal year-end.
The consolidated financial statements of Sudamericana Holding S.A. have been prepared
pursuant to the regulations of the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance (S.S.N.), which differ from Argentine GAAP in certain aspects. Nevertheless, this departure has not produced a significant effect on the financial statements of Grupo
Financiero Galicia S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
(Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$))
The equity investments in Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. and Compañía Financiera
Argentina S.A. have been recognized using the equity method, which arises from financial statements prepared in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP, which differ in the aspects mentioned in Note 1.16. to the consolidated financial statements from
Argentine GAAP.
D. GOODWILL
Goodwill resulting from
the acquisition of shares in other companies, which is recorded under Investments, has been valued at its acquisition cost, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization, calculated proportionally over the estimated useful life.
Amortization is assessed on a straight-line basis in equal monthly installments, which is the amortization term of 120 months. See Schedule B.
The updated residual value of the assets does not exceed their estimated recoverable value at period/fiscal year-end.
E. FIXED ASSETS
Fixed Assets have been valued at their
acquisition cost, restated at constant currency as mentioned in this Note, net of the corresponding accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation charges are
calculated following the straight-line method, at rates determined based on the useful life assigned to the assets, which is 60 months for hardware and software, and furniture and fixtures and 600 months for real estate. See Schedule A.
During fiscal year 2014, the Company retired from its assets those that, due to their physical and/or technological obsolescence, were not useful for their
intended purpose, and which pieces could not be used or exploited.
On July 22, 2014, the Companys Board of Directors decided to approve the
sale of the real estate to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
The updated residual value of the assets, taken as a whole, does not exceed their
value-in-use at period/fiscal year-end.
F. FINANCIAL DEBT
Financial debt has been valued pursuant to the amount of money received, plus the accrued portion of interest as of period/fiscal year-end.
G. INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX
The
Company has recognized the income tax charge according to the deferred tax method, thus recognizing the temporary differences between measurements of accounting and tax assets and liabilities, at the rate in force (see Note 13 to the financial
statements). Due to the unlikelihood that future taxable income may be enough to absorb tax loss carry-forwards, the Company has established an allowance for impairment of value with regard to such income and has not recorded tax loss
carry-forwards. See Schedule E.
The Company determines the minimum presumed income tax at the effective rate of 1% of the computable assets at
period/fiscal year-end. This tax is supplementary to the income tax. The Companys tax liability for each fiscal year shall be determined by the higher of the two taxes. However, if the minimum presumed income tax were to exceed income tax in a
given fiscal year, such excess may be computed as a payment on account of the income tax that could be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years.
The
Company has set up a provision for the minimum presumed income tax credit accrued during this period and the previous fiscal year, for $ 3,855 and $ 3,439, respectively, since its recovery is not likely at the issuance date of these financial
statements. See Schedule E.

H. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
H.1. Activity in the Shareholders Equity accounts has been restated as mentioned in paragraphs three and four of this Note.
The Subscribed and Paid-in Capital account has been stated at its face value and at the value of the contributions in the currency value of the
fiscal year in which those contributions were actually made.
The adjustment stemming from the restatement of that account in constant currency has been
allocated to the Capital Adjustment account.
H.2. Income and Expense Accounts
The results of operations for each period are presented in the period in which they accrue.
I. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Cash and Due from
Banks, investments and receivables held with the purpose of complying with the short-term commitments undertook, with a high level of liquidity, easily converted into known amounts of cash, subject to insignificant risks of changes in value
and with a maturity less than three months from the date of the acquisition thereof, are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. The breakdown is as follows:

Notes 1 to 17 and Schedules A, B, C, D, E, G and H, which supplement them. Furthermore, we have performed a review of the Companys consolidated interim financial statements and its controlled companies for the three-month period ended

The Companys Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying interim financial statements, in accordance with the accounting framework established by the Argentine

Our reviews were performed in accordance with standards applicable to syndics in Argentina. These standards require that syndics review the documents detailed in paragraph 1. observing auditing standards applicable to
the review of financial statements, and verify the consistency of the documents examined with the information concerning corporate decisions, as disclosed in minutes. In addition, they require that corporate decisions conform to the law and the
bylaws with respect to formal and documental requirements. For purposes of our professional work, we have reviewed the work performed by the external auditors of the Company, Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., who issued their unqualified
report on the review of interim financial statements on May 7, 2015 and whose work was conducted in accordance with Technical Pronouncement No. 37 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences
(F.A.C.P.C.E.) for the review of interim-period financial statements. A review of interim-period financial statements involves making inquiries to the Companys staff responsible for the preparation of the information included in
the interim-period financial statements and in performing analysis procedures and other review procedures. The scope of these reviews is substantially more limited than that of an audit conducted in accordance with Argentine auditing standards.
Therefore, a review does not allow us to obtain assurance that we will be aware of all the significant matters that could be identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion on the Companys financial position, results of
operations, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows or on its consolidated financial statements. Given that it is not our responsibility to exercise any management control, our review did not extend to the business criteria and decisions
of the different areas of the Company, as these matters are the exclusive responsibility of the Board of Directors. |
We also report that, in compliance with the legality control that is part of our area of
competence, during this period we have applied the other procedures described in Section 294 of Law No. 19550, which we deemed necessary according to the circumstances, including, among others, the control over the creation and subsistence
of the directors guarantee.
4. |
The subsidiary Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has prepared its financial statements following the valuation and disclosure criteria established by Argentine Central Bank regulations, which have been taken as the
basis for calculating the equity method and preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Without changing our conclusion, as mentioned in Note 1.16. to the Companys consolidated financial statements, those criteria differ,
in certain respects, from the applicable professional accounting standards. In such note, the Company has identified and quantified the effect on the financial statements derived from the different valuation and disclosure criteria, except that the
quantification cannot be made for unfeasibility reasons. |
5. |
Based on our reviews, with the scope described in point 3. above, we report that: |
|

nothing has called our attention that make us think that the interim financial statements and the consolidated financial statements mentioned in the first paragraph of this report are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with the Argentine Central Banks accounting standards. |
