  t)

Earning per share:

As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Bank calculated the earning per share on the basis of 536,877,850 ordinary shares of $1 par value each. The net income for each period on those dates is as follows:

 

           09-30-2016                  09-30-2015      

Net income for the period

     3,061,267         2,596,226

Earning per share for the period – (stated in pesos)

     5.70             4.84

 

  u)

Use of accounting estimates :

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the standards set forth by the BCRA require the Bank to use assumptions and estimates that affect certain assets such as allowances for doubtful loan and certain liabilities such as provisions for other contingencies as well as the reported amounts of income/loss during the period. Actual income/loss may differ from such estimates.

 

  3.

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 555,500 and 246,300 as of September 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 September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been 309,200 and 59,000 (gain), respectively.

 

  b)

Derivative financial instruments

As explained in notes 2.3.n) and 12, as of September 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 13,027 and 32,906, respectively. By contrast, the effect of the application of the professional accounting standards on the income statement for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been 19,879 (gain) and 3,518 (loss), 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 September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Bank recorded 1,880,000 and 1,361,000, 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 September 30, 2016 and the end of the previous fiscal year, the Bank has booked 1,098,528 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 September 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 555,500 and 246,300, respectively. Such amounts are made up as follows:

 

     09-30-2016                  12-31-2015            

Deferred tax assets

                 829,900                                611,500            

Deferred tax liabilities

     (274,400)                   (365,200)           
  

 

 

      

 

 

 

Net deferred assets

     555,500                    246,300            

Allowance

     (555,500)                   (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 September 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.

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.

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 10,757 and 8,021 as of September 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 4,556 and 3,764 as of September 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.

BBVA Francés, in its capacity as shareholder requested that Consolidar AFJP S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) should file a note with the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Public Finance and with the Argentine Social Security Authority to commence discussions within the framework of Law Nr. 26,425 in order to identify one or more resolution alternatives in connection with the consequences resulting from the events caused by the enactment of that Law. This note was filed by Consolidar AFJP S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) on June 11, 2010.

On December 7, 2010, Consolidar AFJP S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) filed an action for damages against the National State and the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security with the court of original Federal Jurisdiction over Contentious Administrative Matters Nr. 4, Clerk of Court’s Office Nr. 7, case file Nr. 40,437/2010. The complaint was ratified by BBVA Francés in its capacity as majority shareholder in that Company. On July 15, 2011, Consolidar AFJP S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) and BBVA Francés filed with the same court an enhanced complaint for determining the amounts claimed as damages. On March 9, 2012, the Court ordered the service of process on the National State. On November 23, 2012, the Court handed down a resolution demanding the production of evidence within a term of forty days. On May 13, 2013, the Court hearing in the case ordered that evidence be produced, The Company is providing depositions, documentary evidence and expert witnesses’ reports. On May 28, 2013, the Company accompanied the statements and the testimony of witnesses, as the case is currently at the evidence production stage.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

(Interim financial statements)

To the President and the Board of Directors of

BBVA BANCO FRANCÉS S.A.

Reconquista 199

City of Buenos Aires

Report on interim financial statements

 

1.

Identification of the interim financial statements subject to review

We have reviewed:

 

  a)

the accompanying interim stand-alone financial statements of BBVA BANCO FRANCÉS S.A. (“BBVA Francés” or the “Bank”), which comprise the balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the statement of income, statement of changes in stockholders´ equity and cash and cash equivalents flow for the nine-month period then ended and the supplemental information included in their notes 1 to 21, and the Exhibits “A” through “L”, “N” and “O”; and

 

  b)

the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of BBVA Francés and its subsidiaries (listed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and the consolidated statement of income and the consolidated cash and cash equivalents flow for the nine-month period then ended, and the supplemental information included in their notes 1 to 7 and the Exhibit 1.

The figures and other information for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 are an integral part of these interim financial statements and are intended to be read only in relation to those financial statements.

 

2.

Bank´s responsibility for the interim Financial Statements

The Bank is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of such accompanying interim financial statements in conformity with accounting standards established by the Argentine Central Bank (B.C.R.A.) applicable to financial institutions, as well as responsible of internal control considered necessary to enable the presentation of financial statements free from material misstatement.

3.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a conclusion on the accompanying interim financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with standards on review of interim financial statements established in section IV of the Technical Pronouncement N° 37 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences and the “Minimum Standards applicable for External Audits” established by the Argentine Central Bank (B.C.R.A.) for the limited reviews of interim financial statements. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements.

A review of interim financial statements is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial position of the Bank as of September 30, 2016, on the results of its operations, the changes in its stockholders´ equity and its cash and cash equivalents flow for the nine-month period then ended.

 

4.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial statements of BBVA Francés both stand-alone and consolidated with its subsidiaries companies corresponding to the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2016, are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting standards established by B.C.R.A.

 

5.

Emphasis on certain issues disclosed in the financial statements

The interim stand-alone and consolidated financial statements referred to in paragraphs a) and b) of caption 1 of this report have been prepared by the Bank in accordance with the accounting standards established by the B.C.R.A., which differ from the Argentine professional accounting standards concerning the matters indicated in note 3 to the stand-alone financial statements and in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. This issue does not modify the conclusion expressed in caption 4.

 

6.

English translation of statutory financial statements

This report and the financial statements referred to in caption 1 have been translated into English for the convenience of English-speaking readers. As further explained in note 21 to the accompanying stand-alone financial statements, the financial statements (both the stand-alone and the consolidated financial statements) are the English translation of those originally prepared by the Bank in Spanish and presented in accordance with the accounting standards of B.C.R.A. and except for the matters described in caption 5, with the Argentine professional accounting standards. The effects of the differences between the accounting standards of BCRA and the countries in which the financial statements are to be used have not been quantified. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity or cash and cash equivalents flow in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the countries of users of the financial statements, other than Argentina.
