NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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 financial services holding company organized under the laws of Argentina. The Company’s 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 Bank’s (“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 Pronouncements 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.
The financial statements of the Company 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., the Company’s main equity investment, is 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
differ in certain significant respects from Argentine GAAP. (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 subsidiary’s accounting balances was made in accordance with the following:
| i. |
Assets and liabilities were converted into Pesos in accordance with item 1.2 of this Note. |
| ii. |
Allotted capital has been computed for the related amounts actually disbursed. |
| 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. |
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
Pronouncements 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

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
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 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 as of 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, 2003.
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 corresponds 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 corresponds to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Certain figures in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 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.
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 September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, balances in U.S. Dollars were converted applying the reference
exchange rate (figures stated in Pesos: $ 9.4192, $ 8.5520 and $ 8.4643, respectively) set by the Argentine Central Bank.

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
Assets and liabilities valued in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar have been converted into
the latter currency using the 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. is 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. is 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 is recorded in 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.
As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, taking into account
the above-mentioned valuation criteria, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. records its holdings according to the following:
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 guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.
1.3.2. Holdings Recorded at their Acquisition Cost plus the I.R.R.
In this account, the Company records the Argentine Saving Bond for Economic Development (BAADE), among others.
The holding of such securities has been valued pursuant to the criterion stated in item b. above.
The same criterion is applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
1.3.3. Investments in Listed Private Securities
These securities are valued at the period/fiscal year-end closing price in the corresponding market, less estimated selling costs, when applicable.
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 guarantee, 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, when 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 asset’s 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
1.5.1. Mutual Fund Units
The holdings of mutual fund
units have been valued pursuant to the value published by the mutual fund manager at period/fiscal year-end, less estimated selling costs, when applicable.
1.5.2. Financial Trust Debt Securities - Unlisted
Debt
securities added at par have been valued at their technical value; the remaining holdings were valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R.
1.5.3. Participation Certificates in Financial Trusts - Unlisted
Participation certificates in financial trusts are valued taking into account the share in the assets, net of liabilities, which stem from the financial
statements of the respective trusts, as modified by the application of the Argentine Central Bank regulations, when applicable.
Trusts — with
government-sector assets as underlying assets — have been valued pursuant to the valuation criteria described in item 1.3.2 of this Note. In the particular case of the Participation Certificate in Galtrust I Financial Trust, it has been
recorded according to what is stated in item 1.3.b.3 of this Note.
1.5.4. Unlisted Notes
These have been valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R.

1.6. RECEIVABLES FROM FINANCIAL LEASES
These receivables are recorded at the present value of the sum of periodic installments and residual values previously established and calculated pursuant to
the terms and conditions agreed upon in the corresponding financial lease agreements by applying their I.R.R.
1.7. EQUITY INVESTMENTS
The Company’s equity investments in companies where it has a significant interest were valued pursuant to the equity method.
The remaining equity investments were valued at their acquisition cost plus, when applicable, uncollected cash dividends and stock dividends from capitalized
profits. An allowance for impairment of value has been established on such equity investments where the book value exceeds the equity method value.
1.8. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT AND MISCELLANEOUS ASSETS
Bank Premises and Equipment and Miscellaneous Assets have been valued at their acquisition cost, restated at constant currency as mentioned in this Note, net
of the corresponding accumulated depreciation.
Financial leases that mainly transfer risks and benefits inherent to the leased property are recognized at
the beginning of the lease either by the cash value of the leased property or the present value of cash flows established in the financial lease, whichever is lower.
Depreciation charges are calculated following the straight-line method, at rates determined based on the useful life assigned to the assets, which is 600
months for real estate, up to 120 months for furniture and fixtures and no more than 60 months for the rest 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.
1.9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets have been valued at their acquisition cost, restated in constant currency, as mentioned in this Note, net of the corresponding accumulated
amortization, calculated proportionally over the estimated number of months of useful life.
Amortization has been recognized on a straight-line basis
over 120 months for “Goodwill” and over 60 months for “Organization and Development Expenses”.
1.10. MISCELLANEOUS LIABILITIES
1.10.1. Liabilities – Customers Fidelity Program “Quiero”
The fair value of the points assigned to customers through the “Quiero” Program is estimated. Said value is assessed by means of the use of a
mathematical model that takes into account certain assumptions of exchange percentages, the cost for the exchanged points based on the combination of available products and the preferences of the Bank’s customers, as well as the expiration term
of the customers’ non-exchanged points. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the liabilities recorded under “Miscellaneous Liabilities – Others” for its customers’ non-exchanged points amounted to $
246,198 and $ 202,465, respectively.
1.11. ALLOWANCES AND PROVISIONS
1.11.1. Allowances for Loan Losses and Provisions for Contingent Commitments
These have been established based upon the estimated default risk of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s credit assistance granted through its subsidiaries,
which results from an evaluation of debtors’ compliance with their payment obligations, their economic and financial condition, and the guarantees securing their related transactions, in line with the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

1.11.2. Severance Payments
The Company directly charges severance payments to expenses.
The amounts that the Company may possibly have to pay for labor lawsuits are covered by a provision, which is recorded under “Liabilities –
Provisions for Severance Payments”.
1.11.3. Liabilities – Other Provisions
Provisions have been set up to cover contingent situations related to labor, commercial, legal, civil and tax issues and other miscellaneous risks that are
likely to occur.
1.12. NEGATIVE GOODWILL
The
Company recorded a negative goodwill. This stems from the difference between the acquisition cost paid for the companies Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and the value of assets and liabilities
purchased as of June 30, 2010. As of December 31, 2014, such goodwill amounted to $ 49,562 (net of accumulated amortizations), and was recorded under “Liabilities – Provisions”. As of September 30, 2015, such goodwill
has been fully amortized.
The negative goodwill is charged to Income on a straight-line basis during 60 months, pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank
regulations in that regard.
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. 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 Interest Rate Swaps to be Settled” under “Other Receivables
Resulting from Financial Brokerage” and/or “Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage”, as appropriate.
1.13.3. 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 exposures 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 Company’s tax liability for each fiscal year is equal to 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 recognition of this
right and its realization stem from the ability to generate future taxable income sufficient for offsetting purposes.
Based on the foregoing, as of
September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has assets for $ 9,019 and $ 8,446, respectively.

credits and their probable expiration date are detailed below:

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
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 detailed below:
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 $
385,727 as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the application of this criterion would determine an increase in Shareholders’ Equity of about
$ 49,567 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 September 30, 2015, there exist no differences between book and market values of the Galtrust I Financial Trust, while 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 moment of the purchase. Such negative goodwill is recorded under “Liabilities – Provisions”.
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 September 30, 2015, the negative goodwill balance has been fully amortized, while as of December 31, 2014, such balance amounted to $ 49,562.
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.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
1.16.7. Conversion of Financial Statements
The conversion into Pesos of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary for the purposes of their consolidation, made in accordance with the Argentine
Central Bank regulations, differs from Argentine GAAP. These principles require 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) be
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 from 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 (the “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 from January 1, 2012.
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 94.33% of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s assets, being the Company’s main asset; |
| |
• |
|
93.46% of Grupo Financiero Galicia’s 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. |

ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
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 starting 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.
In compliance with the provisions of Communiqué “A” 5635, at the meeting held on
September 16, 2015, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Board of Directors approved the first report on the progress made during the six-month period from March to September 2015. Furthermore, on September 25, 2015, Banco de
Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Audit Committee approved the Special Internal Audit Report related to the Implementation Plan’s level of progress with regard to achieving compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards
(I.F.R.S.). Both reports were filed with the Argentine Central Bank on September 28, 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 applied as well as the most significant changes in relation to measurement and disclosure aspects with regard to the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

NOTE 5. STATEMENT OF DEBTORS’ STATUS
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 customer’s 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. |
CONSUMER AND HOUSING LOAN PORTFOLIO
|
|
|
| Classification: |
|
Description |
| Normal Performance |
|
This category includes customers who duly and timely comply with the payment of their commitments, or else with payment in arrears of less than 31 days. Provisional overdrafts shall be considered normal until day 61 from the
granting date. |
|
|
| Inadequate Performance |
|
It includes customers with occasional late payments at the time of meeting their commitments, with payments in arrears of more than 31 days and up to 90 days. |
|
|
| 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. |
|
|
| Difficult Collection |
|
It includes customers with payments in arrears of more than 180 days and up to one year, or who are subject to judicial proceedings for collection, if their payments in arrears do not exceed one year. |
|
|
| Uncollectible |
|
This category includes insolvent or bankrupt customers, with little or no possibility of collection, or with payments in arrears in excess of one year. |
The category “financing” includes the items with regard to which debtors should be classified, from the point of
view of the debtors’ creditworthiness, recorded under the accounts detailed below:

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.
According to the conditions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, profits can only be distributed
as long as results 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 that a financial institution be able to distribute profits, said 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 from December 2014.
In
addition, the Argentine Central Bank requires that computable capital be in excess over the minimum capital requirements, equal to 75%.
Distribution of
profits shall require the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank’s Superintendence 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 from November 1, 2014. Additionally, since July 27, 2015, deposits of up to $ 1,000 raised pursuant to the
requirements set forth by Argentine Central Bank’s Communiqué “A” 5781 were included in the aforementioned system.
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 conducted by it. Those deposits whose ownership has been acquired
through endorsement and those 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.

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. 3,461 and the related regulations), which envisaged the total relief of
interest and fines. The Bank’s 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 Court’s 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 Bank’s 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 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 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.

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 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
and its subsidiaries and Tarjetas del Mar S.A. Therefore, the companies are taking the corresponding administrative and legal steps in order to solve such issues. The original amount claimed for taxes totals $ 13,906 approximately.
Based on the opinions of their tax advisors, the companies believe that the abovementioned claims are both legally and technically groundless and that taxes
related to the claims have been correctly calculated in accordance with tax regulations in force and existing case law.
Compañía
Financiera Argentina S.A.
The Argentine Revenue Service (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 Argentine Revenue Service (A.F.I.P), thus confirming the
judgment issued by the Federal Tax Court, which was favorable to Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. The Court assessed legal costs against the Argentine Revenue Service (A.F.I.P). In June 2014, the A.F.I.P. filed an appeal before the
Argentine Supreme Court of Justice with regard to the amount of the fees determined for the institution’s attorneys which, if confirmed, shall be fully paid by the A.F.I.P.
Based on the information available at the date of these financial statements, the company considers 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 the provisions deemed appropriate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding.

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, in each of them. This
is particularly strict in the main controlled company, Banco Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., where the requirements to be complied with are stringent, as detailed below, as it is a financial institution regulated by the Argentine Central Bank. Apart
from the applicable local regulations, Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A., in its capacity as a listed company on the markets of the United States of America, complies with the certification of its internal controls pursuant to Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. 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 Bank’s own resources available and necessary resources to maintain an appropriate risk profile. This process shall also allow identifying both the economic capital needs for the next 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 exposures 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 exposures under historical and simulated scenarios are created, which identify critical levels of the
different risk factors.
LIQUIDITY
Daily liquidity
is managed according to the strategy set, which seeks to keep liquid resources that are enough 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 the setting of limits and monitoring in terms of a) liquidity as regards stock: a level of “Management
Liquidity Requirement” was established as the excess over legal minimum cash requirements, taking into consideration the characteristics and behavior of Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s

FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
different liabilities, and the liquid assets that make up such liquidity were determined as well; 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 liquid resources
additional to those set forth in the above-mentioned policy can be obtained.
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 foreign currency which are higher than the liabilities denominated in such currency) and “net liability
positions” (assets denominated in a foreign currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in foreign 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
exposures 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 that 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.
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 exposures 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 the design of which envisages risk exposures 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 detecting situations that can entail some degree of portfolio deterioration, and appropriately safeguarding the Bank’s assets.
Credit risk management entails approving the credit risk policies and procedures, verifying compliance therewith and assessing credit risk on an ongoing
basis. Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Wholesale Risk Management Division, and the Consumption and Retail Risk Management Division, which have been structured considering the types of customers that are part of the respective banking
divisions, are in charge of such management.
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, 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 Wholesale
Risk Management Division, and the Consumption and Retail Risk Management Division also constantly monitor their portfolio through different indicators (asset quality of the loan portfolio, the coverage of the non-accrual portfolio with allowances,
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 (“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 Bank’s 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 improving 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),
within the framework of Communiqué “A” 5515.

Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
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 the following:
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 institution’s main transactions;
ii) A
major change in the financial institution’s risk profile.
REPUTATIONAL RISK
Reputational risk is defined as the risk associated to 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 institution’s ability to keep existing business relationships or establish new relationships, and continue having access to
funding sources as for instance in 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.
ASSET LAUNDERING, FUNDING OF TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AND OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES RISK
As regards the control and prevention of asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. complies with the
regulations set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit and Law No. 25246, as amended, which creates the Financial Information Unit (U.I.F.), under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights with
functional autarchy. The Financial Information Unit is in charge of analyzing, addressing and reporting the information received, in order to prevent and avoid both asset laundering and funding of terrorist activities.
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has promoted the implementation of measures designed to fight against the use of the international financial system by
criminal organizations. For such purpose, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has control policies, procedures and structures that are applied using a “risk-based approach”, which allow monitoring transactions, pursuant to the
“customer profile” (defined individually based on the information and documentation related to the economic, financial and tax condition of the customer), in order to detect such transactions that should be considered unusual, and to
report them before the U.I.F. in the cases that may correspond. The Anti-Money Laundering Unit (“U.A.L.” as per its initials in Spanish – Unidad Antilavado) is in charge of managing this activity, through the implementation of
control and prevention procedures as well as the communication thereof to the rest of the organization by drafting the related handbooks and training all employees. In addition, the management of this risk is regularly reviewed by Internal Audit.

Business Conduct Policy and/or Code of Ethics
Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. has a Code of Ethics formally approved that guides its policies and activities. It considers business objectivity and
conflict-of-interests related-aspects, and how the employee should act upon identifying a breach of the Code of Ethics, with the involvement of the Organizational Development and Human Resources Management.
Information Related to Personnel Economic Incentive Practices
The Human Resources Committee, composed of two Directors, the Managing Director and the Organizational Development and Human Resources Division Manager, is in
charge of establishing the compensation policy for Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s personnel.
It is the policy of Banco de Galicia y Buenos
Aires S.A. to manage the full compensation of its personnel based on the principles of fairness, meritocracy and justice, within the framework of the legal regulations in force.
The aim of this policy is to provide an objective and fair basis, through the design and implementation of tools for the management of the fixed and variable
compensation paid to each employee, based on the scope and complexity of each position’s responsibilities, individual performance with regard to compliance thereof, contribution to the Bank’s results and conformity to market values, with
the purpose of:
| |
• |
|
Attracting and creating loyalty with regard to quality personnel suitable for the achievement of the business strategy and goals. |
| |
• |
|
Being an individual motivation means. |
| |
• |
|
Easing the decentralized management of compensation administration. |
| |
• |
|
Allowing the effective budget control of personnel costs. |
| |
• |
|
Guaranteeing internal fairness. |
In order to monitor and guarantee both external and internal fairness with

issues, pursuant to the market positioning policies defined by the management division for the different corporate levels.
With the purpose of gearing
individuals towards the achievement of attainable results that contribute to the global performance of the Bank/Area, and to the increase in motivation for the common attainment of goals, differentiating individual contribution, Banco de Galicia y

y Buenos Aires S.A.’s results, and is paid in the first quarter of the next fiscal year. To determine the variable compensation for the senior management and middle management, the Bank uses
the Management Performance Assessment System. This system has been designed including both qualitative and quantitative K.P.I. (Key Performance Indicators). In particular, quantitative Key Performance Indicators are designed respecting at least
three minimum aspects:
| |
• |
|
Business volume or size. |
| |
• |
|
Projections: Indicators that protect the business for the future (For example: Quality, internal and external customer satisfaction, risk coverage, work environment, etc.). |
The significance or impact of each of them is monitored and adjusted yearly pursuant to the strategy approved by the Board of Directors.
The interaction among these three aspects seeks to make incentives related to results and growth consistent with the risk thresholds determined by the Board
of Directors.
In turn, there is no deferred payment of variable compensation subject to the occurrence of future events or in the long term, taking into
consideration that the business environment in the Argentine financial system is characterized by being mainly transactional, with lending and borrowing transactions with a very short seasoning term.
Annual budget and management control – the latter carried out monthly in a general manner and quarterly in a more detailed manner - include different
risk ratios, including the ratio between compensation and risks undertaken.
Variable compensation is only paid in cash. There are no payments in shares.
Every change to this policy is submitted to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s Human Resources Committee for its consideration.

GRUPO FINANCIERO GALICIA S.A.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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 comparative information in the Balance Sheet, Schedules and Notes corresponds 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 corresponds to the same period of the previous fiscal year.
Certain figures in the financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 have been reclassified for purposes of their presentation
in comparative format with those for this period.
The preparation of financial statements at a given date requires the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 from 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
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.
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, being 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, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCED JANUARY 1, 2015 AND ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015, PRESENTED IN COMPARATIVE FORMAT
Figures Stated in Thousands of Pesos ($) and Thousands of U.S. Dollars (US$)
The Company has set up a provision for the minimum presumed income tax credit accrued during this period and
the previous fiscal year, for $ 4,120 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.
“Subscribed and Paid-in Capital”
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 “Capital Adjustment”.
H.2. Income and Expense Accounts
The results of operations for
each period are presented in the period in which they accrue.

NOTE 15. GLOBAL PROGRAM FOR THE ISSUANCE OF NOTES
On March 9, 2009, the General Ordinary
Shareholders’ Meeting approved the creation of a Global Program for the Issuance of Simple Notes, not convertible into shares. Such Notes may be short-, mid- and/or long-term, secured or unsecured, peso-denominated, dollar-denominated or else
may be in any other currency, subject to the compliance with all the legal or regulatory requirements applicable to the issuance in such currency or currency unit, adjustable or non-adjustable, and for a maximum outstanding face value of up to US$
60,000 (sixty million U.S. Dollars) or the equivalent thereof in another currency.
The maximum term of the program shall be five years as from the date

Apart from that, the Notes may be issued

EQUITY INVESTMENTS
BANCO DE GALICIA Y BUENOS AIRES S.A.
Founded in 1905, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. is one of the largest private-sector banks in the Argentine financial system, and one of the leading
providers of financial services in the country. Through affiliated companies and a variety of distribution channels, Banco Galicia offers a full spectrum of financial services to both individual and corporate customers. Banco de Galicia y Buenos
Aires S.A. operates one of the most extensive and diversified distribution networks of the Argentine private financial sector, offering 260 branches, together with 394 points of contact gathered between regional credit-card companies and
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2015, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. recorded net
income for $ 2,865,901, $ 542,100 (23.3%) higher than that recorded as of the same date in the prior fiscal year, which amounted to $ 2,323,801. The increase in income, when compared to the same period of fiscal year 2014, mainly
resulted from the increase of $ 2,914,192 in net operating income (net financial income plus net income from services) and a lower provision for loan losses for $ 370,582. This effect was mainly mitigated by higher administrative expenses for $
2,371,695 and the increase in income tax by $ 259,568.
The positive evolution of net operating income was due both to an increase in net income from
services (amounting to $ 1,694,414, a 37.2% increase) and to a higher net financial income (amounting to $ 1,219,778, a 16.8% increase). The lower provision for loan losses was related to both the business portfolio and the individuals’
portfolio. Administrative expenses for the first nine months totaled $ 8,843,344, increasing 36.6% when compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. Personnel expenses increased by 32.4% mainly due to the salary increase agreed upon with
unions. The amortization of organization expenses amounted to $ 439,846, 90.3% higher as of September 30, 2014 because the Bank’s investment in the “SAP Core Banking” system began being amortized in December 2014. The remaining
administrative expenses totaled $ 3,475,188, 38% higher than those as of the same date in the previous fiscal year. This variation was primarily due to the rise in costs related to the different services provided to the Bank. Total financing to the
private sector amounted to $ 96,027,301, showing a 32.1% growth during the last twelve months, and total deposits reached $ 82,584,354, growing 37.5% when compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year. As of September 30, 2015, Banco
de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.’s estimated share in loans to the private sector was 9.11%, while in deposits from the private sector it was 8.92%, when compared to 8.74% and 8.80%, respectively, for the previous fiscal year.
NET INVESTMENT S.A.
Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.’s
equity investment in Net Investment S.A.’s capital stock is 87.50%, whereas the remaining 12.50% is owned by Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
Net Investment S.A. was created to carry out Internet business transactions.
During 2011, Net Investment S.A.’s shareholders decided to change the corporate purpose in order to be able to make investments in companies that conduct
supplementary and/or related activities.
On April 7, 2015, the company’s Board of Directors decided to exercise the put option on 325 shares in
Weemba, Inc., representing the whole interest in this company, according to the Put Option Agreement executed on May 17, 2010. The option price amounts to US$ 15.39 (United States dollars fifteen with 39/100) per share. Such transaction
was agreed on April 23, 2015.
For fiscal year 2015, Net Investment S.A.’s Board of Directors is analyzing new business opportunities and
alternatives.

Grupo Financiero
Galicia S.A.
Legal Domicile: Tte. Gral. Juan D. Perón 430 – 25th floor
Buenos Aires, Argentina
C.U.I.T. 30-70496280-7
1. We have performed a review of the accompanying interim financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (hereinafter the “Company”), which
include the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2015, and the related Income Statement, Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory information disclosed in Notes 1 to 16 and Schedules A, B, C, D, E, G and H, which supplement them. Furthermore, we have performed a review of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements and
its controlled companies for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, with Notes 1 to 39, which are presented as supplementary information.
2. The Company’s 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 Central Bank.
3. 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 November 9, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 field 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
Company’s 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:
(i) 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 Bank’s accounting standards.
(ii) The
accompanying interim financial statements stem from accounting records kept, in all formal aspects, in compliance with legal regulations prevailing in Argentina.
(iii) As regards the Informative Review, the Additional Information to the Notes to the Financial Statements required by Section 68 of the Rules and
Regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, Title IV, Chapter III, Article 12 of the National Securities Commission, and the Supplementary and Explanatory Statement by the Board of Directors required by the Rules concerning Accounting
Documentation of the Córdoba Stock Exchange Regulations, we have no observations to make insofar as concerns our field of competence, and the assertions on future events are the exclusive responsibility of the Company’s Board of
Directors.
(iv) In compliance with the legality control that is part of our field of competence, we have no observations to make.

Introduction
We have performed a review of the
accompanying interim financial statements of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. (hereinafter the “Company”), which include the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2015, and the related Income Statement, Statement of Changes in
Shareholders’ Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month period then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information disclosed in Notes and Schedules, which supplement them.
Furthermore, we have performed a review of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements and its controlled companies for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, which are presented as supplementary information.
The amounts and other information for fiscal year 2014, and the related interim periods, are an integral part of the financial statements mentioned above and,
therefore, shall be considered in connection with those financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility
The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying interim financial statements, in accordance with

Scope of our Reviews
Our reviews were limited to the application of the review procedures set forth by 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 Company’s 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 Company’s
financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows and equivalents or on its consolidated financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has called our attention that make us think that the interim financial statements and the consolidated financial statements

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.
