DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BCRA ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND ARGENTINE PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Bank has prepared these financial statements by applying the regulations of the BCRA, which do not contemplate some of the valuation criteria established by the Argentine professional accounting standards.

The main differences between the regulations of the BCRA and the Argentine professional accounting standards are detailed below:

 

  a)

Tax effects

As already indicated hereinbelow, in note 4.1., the Bank has received various communications from the BCRA pursuant to which that BCRA indicates that the capitalization of items arising from the application of the deferred tax method is not allowed, In accordance with Argentine professional accounting standards, a deferred tax asset should be recognized to the extent the reversal of temporary differences generates a future decrease in the tax effectively determined. As a result, the allowances set up by the Bank in this respect, for 488,800 and 246,300 as of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, respectively, should be reversed.

Moreover, the effect on the income statement of the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been 242,500 and 39,900 (gain), respectively.

 

  b)

Derivative financial instruments

As explained in notes 2.3.n) and 12, as of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, the Bank recorded the effects of interest rate swap agreements as established by the BCRA. Should the Bank had applied the Argentine professional accounting standards, the stockholders’ equity would have decreased in 7,769 and 32,906, respectively. By contrast, the effect of the application of the professional accounting standards on the income statement for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been 25,137 and 8 (gain), respectively.

 

  4.

TAX MATTERS

4.1. Income tax

The Bank determined the charge for income tax by applying the statutory 35% rate to taxable income estimated for fiscal year considering the effect of temporary differences between valuation of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and their taxable bases. The Bank considered as temporary differences those that have a definitive reversal date in subsequent years.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Bank recorded 1,334,000 and 859,000, respectively, in the Income tax caption as the estimate of the income tax charge payable to the tax authorities for these fiscal years.

As of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, the Bank has booked 879,563 and 467,959, respectively, in the caption Other liabilities – Other – Accrued Taxes as a result of having netted the income tax withholdings and other withholdings applied to the Bank until such dates.

Besides, on June 19, 2003, the Bank received a note from the BCRA indicating that the capitalization of items arising from the application of the deferred tax method is not allowed.

On June 26, 2003, the Bank, based on the opinion of its legal counsel, responded the above mentioned note, indicating that in their opinion the rules of the BCRA do not prohibit the application of the deferred tax method generated by the recognition of temporary differences between the accounting and tax result, Subsequently, Resolution 118/03 of the Superintendent of Financial and Exchange Institutions received on October 7, 2003 confirmed the terms of the note dated June 19, 2003, Consequently, as from that date the Bank set up an allowance for the net balance between the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, the Bank recorded under Other Receivables (in the line Tax Prepayments) a taxable deferred asset amounting 488,800 and 246,300, respectively. Such amounts are made up as follows:

 

    

06-30-2016

       

12-31-2015

Deferred tax assets

   789,400       611,500

Deferred tax liabilities

            (300,600)                   (365,200)    
  

 

     

 

Net deferred assets

   488,800       246,300

Allowance

   (488,800)           (246,300)    

4.2. Tax on minimum presumed income

Tax on minimum presumed income (TOMPI) was established by Law Nr. 25.063 in the year ended December 31, 1998, for a ten-year term, On December 19, 2008 Law Nr. 26.426 established a one-year extension in TOMPI until December 30, 2009, In turn, Law Nr. 26.545, published in the Official Gazette on December 2, 2009 extended TOMPI for an additional ten-year period, This tax is supplementary to income tax: while the latter is levied on the taxable income for the year, TOMPI is a minimum levy determined by applying the current 1% rate on the potential income of certain productive assets, Therefore, the Bank’s tax obligation for each year will coincide with the highest of these taxes, The above Law provides that institutions governed by Financial Institutions Law must consider as a tax base 20% of their taxable assets, after deducting non-computable ones, However, if TOMPI exceeds income tax in a given year, the excess thereof may be computed as a payment on account of any income tax in excess of TOMPI that may occur in any of the following ten years.

In every year that net operating losses are offset, the tax benefit (the benefit of the effective rate on the net operating loss used) will be realized to the extent that income tax (net of the offsetting) equals or exceeds tax on minimum presumed income, but will be reduced by any excess of the latter over former.

On February 11, 2005, the Argentine Central Bank issued Communication “A” 4295 whereby it enabled, under certain rules, the accounting record of credits on Tax on Minimum Presumed Income.

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Income tax assessed was higher than the TOMPI. Therefore, a provision was raised for Income tax.

4.3. Other tax issues

 

  a)

On October 24, 2007, the Bank was notified by the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires of the commencement of a sua sponte tax assessment on a certain basis and partial in nature of the taxable income as regards turnover tax for the fiscal years 2002 and 2003, The Bank filed its defenses to the notice mentioned, which was ratified on October 6, 2008 through Resolution No. 3631-DGR 2008 containing the official assessment.

On April 28, 2009, the Court of Appeals with Federal Jurisdiction over Contentious Administrative Matters, Panel 3 handed down a judgment favourable to a petition filed by the Bank for the judge to suspend the effect of the decision made by administrative authorities until the appeal is decided. The judgment thus ordered that “…subject to a sworn promise to comply … a) the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires must suspend the sua sponte assessment that has objected to the treatment afforded by BBVA Francés to the bonds received from the National Government in the terms of Decree Nr. 905-02 and the related foreign exchange gains/losses in all matters related to taxation for turnover tax purposes for the fiscal period 2002; b) therefore, the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires must abstain from demanding that the Bank should pay any amount due that may have arisen from the items above detailed”.

Also in this respect, on May 13, 2009, an action for a declaratory judgment was commenced by the Bank against the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires, currently being heard by the court with original Federal Jurisdiction over Contentious Administrative Matters Nr. 1, to procure a judgment ascertaining that a) the bonds received by the Bank from the National Government as compensation for the asymmetric conversion into pesos of assets and liabilities imposed by the Executive Order Nr. 905/2002 may not be levied with Turnover Tax in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires; b) the foreign exchange gains/losses are a direct effect of the modification of the monetary system and therefore should not be levied with Turnover Tax in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

On December 29, 2010, the Judge presiding over the court with original Federal Jurisdiction over Contentious Administrative Matters Nr. 1 handed down a new precautionary measure,

The Bank as well as its legal and tax advisors estimate that the Bank has made a reasonable interpretation of currently applicable rules and regulations concerning the fiscal periods objected to by the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires and do not expect an adverse financial impact in these respects.

As regards the remaining balance of the amount claimed, the Bank adhered to a scheme of payment in instalments that was settled on October 4, 2010.

 

  b)

Afterwards, on December 28, 2012, the Bank was notified of Resolution Nr. 3253-DRG-2012 whereby the Tax Bureau of the City of Buenos Aires proceeded with a sua sponte assessment based on facts concerning the taxable basis for purposes of turnover tax for the fiscal years 2004 through 2010, The Entity appealed such resolution.

On February 3, 2015, the Bank was notified of the passage of Resolution Nr. 2014-3711-DGR, which conceded the appeal in part.

This Resolution was appealed by lodging a so-called “hierarchical appeal” with the head of the governmental agency in charge of raising public revenue, which was rejected, thus putting an end to the administrative stage.

For the sole purpose of being able to continue with the submission of the lawsuit, dated November 24, 2015, the Entity paid the amount claimed, which does not entail its acceptance of the claim.

VALUATION METHODS

The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared based on similar methods to those applied by the Bank for preparing its own financial statements, in connection with assets and liabilities valuation, income measurement and restatement procedure as explained in note 2 to the stand-alone financial statements of the Bank. The following are the main differences with the Argentine professional accounting standards:

Arising from the application of the accounting standards laid down by BCRA and the Argentine professional accounting standards:

 

   

PSA Finance Argentina Cía, Financiera S.A. assesses its income tax liability applying the effective tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of temporary differences between the valuation of assets and liabilities for accounting and tax purposes. In accordance with Argentine professional accounting standards, a deferred tax asset should be recognized where the reversal of temporary differences will result in a future decrease in the assessed tax liability. In addition, unused tax losses or tax credits deductible from future taxable income should be recognized as deferred assets, to the extent their recoverability is likely. Should this criterion have been applied, shareholder’s equity disclosed in the consolidated financial statements would have been increased by 8,531 and 8,021 as of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, respectively.

The commissions paid by PSA Finance Argentina Cía. Financiera S.A. to dealers for granting financing to companies and to the public in general in connection with purchases and sales of automobiles, which in accordance with the rules established by the BCRA are charged up front to the Income Statement, should be accrued throughout the duration of the loans generated by said dealers in accordance with Argentine professional accounting standards, Had this criterion been applied, shareholders’ equity would have been increased by 3,967 and 3,764 as of June 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, respectively.

REFORM OF THE INTEGRATED RETIREMENT AND PENSION SYSTEM

Law Nr. 26,425- Dissolution and liquidation of Consolidar AFJP S.A.:

Law Nr. 26,425, which came into force on December 4, 2008, mandated that the capitalization system that used to be an integral part of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System was to be suppressed and replaced by a single pay-as-you-go system that is now known as the Argentine Integrated Social Security System (SIPA), As a consequence, Consolidar AFJP S.A. ceased to manage the funds held in the individual capitalization accounts opened by the members and beneficiaries of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, Said funds were transferred to the Fund to Guarantee the Sustainability of the State-run Social Security System exactly as they had been invested and it is now the Argentine Social Security Authority (ANSES) the only and sole holder of said assets and funds.

Besides, on October 29, 2009, ANSES issued its Resolution Nr. 290/2009 whereby it granted a term of 30 working days to the pension fund managers that could be interested in re-converting their corporate purpose in order to manage the funds held as voluntary term deposits and as agreed-upon deposits in capitalization accounts for them to express their decision to do so.

Given the above situation and the inability of Consolidar AFJP S.A. to attain the corporate purpose and conduct the business for which it had been formed, on December 28, 2009, its Extraordinary General Unanimous Shareholders’ Meeting adopted the resolution to dissolve and subsequently liquidate Consolidar AFJP S.A. effective as of December 31, 2009 on the understanding that such will be the best alternative to safeguard the interests of both the creditors and the shareholders of the Company. In addition, as set forth in the Argentine Companies Law, the Shareholders’ Meeting decided to appoint Accountant Mr, Gabriel Orden and Mr. Rubén Lamandia to act as liquidators of Consolidar AFJP S.A. As of December 31, 2009 these gentlemen have been designated as the Company’s legal representatives. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, they are moving forward with all the actions necessary to proceed with the liquidation of Consolidar AFJP S.A.

On January 28, 2010, the dissolution of Consolidar AFJP S.A. as well as the list of designated liquidators were registered with the Supervisory Board of Companies (IGJ).

In addition, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of Consolidar AFJP S.A. approved a voluntary reduction in capital stock for 75,000 on October 19, 2009. In turn, the IGJ conferred its approval to the capital reduction mentioned on January 11, 2010. In this respect, on January 19, 2010 the shareholders were transferred their capital contributions in conformity with the above-mentioned reduction.

Besides, the Bank’s distribution network is further supplemented by 15 in-store banks, 1 point of sales, 1express sales point, 680 ATMs and 794 self-service terminals.

Regarding the performance of the Bank in terms of activity, the Bank’s portfolio of loans to the private sector totaled 67,260,131 as of June 30, 2016, which points to an 40.1% growth rate in the last twelve months, while during the quarter the growth rate was of 11.5%.

In commercial terms, the Bank continued to offer a high range benefits to customers, sponsoring shows and performances. In addition, the Bank continued touted the benefits of the alliance with LATAM, for the exchange of KM LATAM Pass for domestic and international flights as well as for a wide range of products.

In the consumer segment, growth was led by the credit card portfolio, wich recorded an increase of 45.6 % over the last twelve months and 6.8% in the quarter.

While the commercial portfolio in the last year recorded an increase of 44.6% and 19.5% in the quarter, based mainly on major foreign trade operations.

Regarding asset quality, the Bank has been able to maintain the best indicators of the Argentine financial system, in an environment that has shown signs of deterioration. The portfolio quality ratio (non-performing Financing / Total loans) was 0.83 %, with a coverage ratio (total allowances / non-performing Financing) of 246.87 % at the end of the period.

As of June 30, 2016, the portfolio of Government securities, totaled 4,315,950 and represented 3.3% of the Bank’s Total assets, while the instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank, net of repurchase agreements, totaled 11,557,768 as of that date and since they are short-term, they are used in order to allocate liquidity.

As to liabilities, total clients’ resources totaled 92,827,261, indicative of 54.7% growth in the last twelve months. By kind of product, in the same period, sight deposits grew by 42.2% and term deposits grew by 51.3%, Whilst total deposits in the quarter grew by 15.9%, with term deposits increasing by 9.6% and sight balances increasing by 10.5%.

As of June 30, 2016, liquid assets (Cash and cash equivalents plus Government and Private securities) represented 51.5% of the Bank’s deposits. Besides, the capital ratio was at 15.1% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank surpassed capital minimum requirements by 6.779.368.

BBVA Francés posted 963.258 in net income during the second quarter of the year, which points to a 44% growth compared to the income for the second quarter of 2015.

In the analysis line by line, net financial income totaled 3,347,768 at June 30, 2016, growing 70% over the same quarter of 2015, while the previous quarter growth of 12 %. This growth mainly results from higher intermediation with the private sector and also profits from the portfolio of government securities.

Income from services – net totaled 1,014,393, recording a variation of 27 % compared to the same quarter of 2015 and 9 % from the previous quarter.

Administrative expenses, again, recorded a balance of 2,220,410 at the end of June 30, 2016, growing by 51% compared to the same period of the prior year and by 6% during the quarter. Staff costs reflect the agreements with the union and increased the endowment. While overheads mainly recorded the impact of growth of advertising and promotion expenses, in line with the promotional activities of the bank.

Outlook

BBVA Francés recognizes that the current environment is undoubtedly complex but that it presents many opportunities at the same time. Within this framework, clients are increasingly heterogeneous – individuals and businesses, digital and “traditional” – and BBVA Francés faces the daily challenge of serving and satisfying the needs of them all.

Not only does the Entity face challenges in connection with its clients, but it also has to take other players into account.

Therefore, BBVA Francés has defined the 2016-2018 Strategic Plan putting special emphasis on key priorities, namely:

 

   

Setting new standards for user experience , providing superior digital platforms, enhancing and increasing interactions with clients and non-clients, offering differential product experiences, and developing more efficient client service and distribution models, while also ensuring a larger scope.

 

   

Driving the acquisition of new digital clients (web + mobile) to boost digital sales by developing a set of new products with high potential.

 

   

Designing new business models and leveraging the Strategic Partner model (LAN, PSA, ROMBO, VW, etc.) to offer larger scale products and services, seeking to engage new clients.

 

   

Taking a business management multivariable approach that embraces revenues and sales generation, costs and investments, risk premium and service quality to optimize capital allocations in a more assertive fashion.

 

   

Adjusting the models, processes and structures to continue achieving the best efficiency ratio in the financial system. The Entity will focus on enhancing productivity to engage clients in a more efficient manner and on increasing product profitability, by adding productivity-adjusted resources with positive impact on service quality.
