Nota 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

A. Basis of presentation of the financial statements.

 

The accounting policies and the preparation of the financial statements and disclosures of the Parent Company and its subordinate companies are made in accordance with the accounting standards set out by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance (hereinafter “the Superintendence”) and in the matters not provided therein it observes standards prescribed in other legal provisions. All these provisions are considered by the Law, generally accepted accounting principles in Colombia for financial institutions.

 

Likewise, the financial statements of the subordinate companies were adjusted to the standards set out by the Superintendence, in regard to the investment areas, derivatives, loan portfolio provisions, goodwill, foreclosed assets and Financial Leasing operations.

 

The intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of the Financial Statements.

 

13
 

 

The Parent Company and its subordinates have the majority of voting rights in the company Prosicol E.U., which has not been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since it is currently in the unproductive stage.

 

B. Cash flow statements and cash equivalents

 

The reported cash flow statement was prepared using the indirect method and it is prepared generally following the International Financial Reporting Standards, as there is no express decision of the Superintendence for its preparation. The interbank funds sold and resale agreements are considered for purposes of this statement as cash equivalents since their maturity does not exceed 30 days.

 

C. Real value unit (UVR for its initials in Spanish)

 

The mortgage loans operations performed by the Parent Company agreed in real value units UVR are daily adjusted according to the daily value of the UVR published by the Central Bank (Banco de la República de Colombia).

 

The amount assigned by the Central Bank to the UVR, stated in Colombian pesos, was $207,8381 and $204,2017 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

 

The calculation of the UVR considers the monthly variation of the consumer price index –CPI or inflation, certified by DANE during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the calculation is made. According to the above, the variation of the annualized UVR as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 1.78% and 2.90%, respectively.

 

D. Asset and liability positions in money market operations

 

Interbank Funds

 

They are funds that the Parent Company and its subordinate companies place in other financial institutions or receive from the Central Bank and other financial institutions with maturities between one and thirty days. The interest income is recorded in the income statements.

 

Repo Operations

 

Lending position

 

They are transactions of placement of funds with guarantee in other financial entities in which the Parent Company and its subordinate companies purchase investments in debt securities with the commitment to sell them again to the counterparty at a specified price plus interest at a fixed rate on a specific date not exceeding one year. The amount recorded in this account corresponds to the amount of the disbursement of funds made and the investments purchased are recorded in contingent accounts, the accrued interest is recorded in accounts receivable.

 

Borrowing position

 

They are transactions of receipt of funds with guarantee, in which the Parent Company and its subordinate companies sell investment in debt securities with the commitment to repurchase them at a specified price plus interests on a specific date not exceeding one year. The amounts received are recorded as liabilities and the investment sold is reclassified within the investment portfolio in the account “Investments sold under a repurchase agreement”. The accrued interest is recorded in accounts payable.

 

Simultaneous Operations

 

The lending position and the borrowing position of simultaneous operations are similar to that shown in the repo operations. In this type of transaction no restrictions on mobility of amounts subject to the operation may be established and it may not be established that the initial amount is calculated with a discount on the market price of the amounts object of the operation.

 

The amounts received in money market operations (repo and simultaneous) are valued daily at market prices (exchange fair value), according to the prices published by the trading systems, and the guarantees received or granted are likewise valued in memorandum accounts.

 

14
 

 

The money market operations are recorded in contingent accounts to recognize and disclose the receipt of the relevant amount.

 

The returns agreed in money market operations are calculated exponentially during the term of the operation. Consequently, these returns represent an income (for the lending operations) or an expense (for the borrowing operations) and they are recognized in the income statement in accordance with the accrual accounting principle.

 

The record of the guarantees delivered in Repo and Simultaneous operations are reclassified within the same investment account, to an account of transfer rights until compliance with the operation, they are also recorded in contingent memorandum accounts.

 

The guarantees received in Repo and Simultaneous operations are recorded in contingent memorandum accounts, and they are only recorded in balance sheet accounts when they sell what is called short position.

 

E. Investments

 

1. Classification

 

The investments are classified as trading, available for sale and held to maturity.

 

1.1. Trading Investments

 

All those debt or equity securities, and generally any type of investment that has been acquired with the main purpose of obtaining gains from the short-term price fluctuations.

 

1.2. Held to maturity investments

 

It refers to those debt securities and generally any type of investment acquired with the serious purpose and the legal, contractual, financial and operating capacity to hold them until the expiration of their maturity or redemption. The reclassification to another category or sale of these investments before their expiration, are only permitted in specific situations duly authorized by the Superintendence.

 

1.3. Available for sale investments

 

All those debt or equity securities, and generally any type of investment not classified as trading or hold until maturity and in respect of which the investor has the serious purpose and the legal, contractual, financial and operating capacity to hold them at least for six (6) months from its classification for the first time.

 

The Superintendence issued the External Circular 033 of 2013 with the purpose to place the minimum period of time for which a security classified as available for sale must be held by the entity before carrying out its intended sale or re-classification. According to the External Circular 033, the entity must re-classify, when necessary, the available for sale security into the other classifications the following day after the minimum period of time have been attained, otherwise the security falls into the available for sale classification for another six months. Before External Circular took place, the minimum period of time that an entity should have hold the investment was at least for a year from the date of classification. The extension introduced by the aforementioned guidance had no impact in the Bank’s financial statements.

 

2. Valuation

 

The valuation of investments is mainly intended for the calculation and disclosure of the exchange fair value or price at which an investment can be negotiated on a specified date, as follows:

 

2.1. Local currency debt securities and in real value units (UVR)

 

The valuation of investments in debt securities is made daily, recording their results with the same frequency.

 

15
 

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies determine the market value of the investments in debt securities, trading and available for sale, using the prices, published daily by the prices provider selected by the Parent Company and its subordinates and authorized by the Superintendence to perform this function. The investments in debt securities to held to maturity and the investments for which there is no price published as of a determined date are valued exponentially from the internal rate of return calculated at the time of purchase and recalculated in the events determined by the Superintendence.

 

If the security is determined in Real Value Units the value determined pursuant to the previously stated is converted into Colombian pesos with the UVR in force and published by the Central Bank for the date.

 

External Circular 050 of 2012, related to investment valuation techniques using a price providers approach applicable for entities governed by the Superintendency, entered into force in 2013. Due to the changes introduced by the new criteria, the Bank affected its statement of operations by COP 19,072.

 

2.2. Foreign currency debt securities

 

In the first instance, the present value or the market value of the relevant security in its original currency, using the procedure set out in the previous numeral based on the prices published by the price provider selected by the entity and authorized by the Superintendence to develop this function. In case of their absence, those specified in international markets published by Bloomberg or finally exponentially based on the internal rate of return calculated at the time of purchase and recalculated in the events determined by the Superintendence.

 

If the security is denominated in a currency other than the United States Dollar, the value determined in accordance with the previous paragraph is converted to dollars based on the exchange rates for converting currencies authorized by the Superintendence.

 

The value obtained in that way must be restated to Colombian pesos using the representative market exchange rate (TRM) calculated on the date of valuation and certified by the Superintendence or by the present unit value for the same date, as applicable.

 

2.3. Equity securities.

 

The External Circular 100/1995 of the Superintendence sets out that the valuation of these investments must be made daily; however, for the investments held in equity securities of low or minimum marketability, or not listed in the stock exchange, whose source of valuation are the financial statements of the securities issuer, the valuation is allowed to be made every six months (with cut-off dates on June 30 and December 31 of each year); however the Parent Company and its subordinates make the valuation on a monthly basis in the events that such financial statements are timely received with this frequency, and its results are recorded with the same frequency, as follows:

 

a. Equity securities issued and traded in Colombia, listed in stock exchanges.

 

These investments are valued based on the daily valuation price published by selected and authorized price provider. If the calculated price did not exist for the valuation date, such investments are valued at the last known valuation price. In the event that an equity security, listed in the stock exchange, has no operations from the time of its issuance in the secondary market and no market price has been marked in its primary issuance, it shall be valued in accordance with the provisions in letter b below this numeral.

 

b. Equity securities issued and traded in Colombia, not listed in stock exchanges.

 

These investments are valued at their purchase cost which is increased or decreased based on the investor’s share in all subsequent changes in the issuer’s equity.

 

For that purpose, the variation in equity of the issuer is calculated based on the certified financial statements, with cut-off dates on June 30 and December 31 of each year. However, when the most recent financial statements are known, they are used to establish the mentioned variation. The entities have a maximum period of three (3) months, following the cut-off date of the financial statements to make the proper update.

 

 

In regard to the investments in equity securities in foreign affiliates, the balance sheet variations are calculated based on the last financial statement issued in accordance with Colombian accounting principles.

 

For the valuation of the interests in collective portfolios and in securitizations structured through funds or stand-alone trust funds, these are valued considering the unit value calculated by the fund management company on the day immediately preceding the valuation date. In the case of the Private Equity Fund – Fondo Inmobiliario Colombia, the unit value is calculated based on the financial statements in which the real estate assets are adjusted by inflation and subsequently at market values, loaned to income.

 

16
 

 

3. Accounting.

 

The trading and available for sale investments must be initially recorded at their acquisition cost and from that moment they shall be valued at market prices. The accounting for variations between the acquisition cost and the market values of investments will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

 

3.1. Trading Investments.

 

The difference between the current market value and the immediately preceding value is recorded as a higher or lower value of the investment and its balancing entry affects the results of the period as an income or expense, respectively. The collection of enforceable returns is recorded as a lower value of the investment.

 

In the case of investments in equity securities of high or medium marketability, the dividends and interests decreed in kind or in cash are recorded as an income up to the amount corresponding to the investor, on the earnings or the revaluation of the issuer’s equity, accounted from the acquisition date of the investment.

 

3.2. Held to maturity investments.

 

The present value corresponds exponentially to the valuation from the internal rate of return calculated at the time of the purchase and its update is accounted for as a higher value of the investment and its balancing entry is recorded in the income statement of the period as income; the collection of such returns is accounted for as a lower value of the investment.

 

3.3. Available for sale investments

 

3.3.1. Debt securities.

 

The changes that occur on these securities are accounted according to the following procedure:

 

The difference between the present value on the date of valuation calculated as indicated for the investments held to maturity and the immediately preceding present value is recorded as a higher value of the investments loaned to the income statements.

 

Changes in the fair value of the investment are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the account denominated “surplus from gross unrealized gain or (loss) on available for sale investments”.

 

3.3.2. Equity securities

 

The changes in the valuation in these securities are accounted for as follows:

 

a) If the value of the investment updated with the interest of the investor is higher than the value at which the investment is recorded, the difference shall affect in the first place the allowance or devaluation until exhausted and any excess is recorded as a surplus for valuation, as a balancing entry of valuation in the asset.

 

b) If the value of the investment updated with the interest of the investor is lower than the value at which the investment is recorded, the difference shall affect in the first place the surplus for valuation of the relevant investment until exhausted and any excess is recorded as a devaluation of the relevant investment within the equity, and as a balancing entry of the devaluation account in the asset.

 

The update of the market value of the securities of high and medium marketability is accounted for as an accumulated unrealized gain or loss, within the equity accounts, charged or loaned to the investment, as applicable.

 

When the dividends or profits are distributed in kind, including those from capitalizing the equity revaluation account, the part that has been accounted for as surplus for valuation, charged to investment, must be recorded as income and such surplus must be reversed. When the dividends or profits are distributed in cash, the value accounted for as surplus for valuation must be recorded as income and such surplus must be reversed, and the amount of dividends exceeded must be accounted for as a lower value of the investment.

 

17
 

 

4. Reclassification of investments.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies proceed to reclassify an investment available for sale to a trading investment when it loses its capacity as a Parent or controlling company, should this event involve the decision for investment disposal or the main purpose to obtain profits due to short term price fluctuations, from that date.

 

When the investments available for sale are reclassified to trading investments, the valuation and accounting regulations of the latter must be taken into account. Consequently, unrealized gains or losses must be recognized as income or expenses on the day of reclassification.

 

5. Allowances or losses for loan risk rating.

 

The price of debt securities trading and available for sale that do not have fair exchange prices or margin, as well as the price of securities classified to held to maturity and the equity securities with low or minimum marketability or with no quotation, must be adjusted in each valuation date, based on the loan risk rating, as indicated below:

 

The internal or external debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Nation, those issued by the Central Bank and those issued or guaranteed by Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras FOGAFIN shall not be subject to this adjustment.

 

5.1. Issuing securities or issuers with external loan risk ratings.

 

Securities or bonds with loan risk ratings granted by external rating agencies recognized by the Superintendence, or the debt bond for securities issued by entities rated by these rating agencies, cannot be recorded in the books for an amount exceeding the following percentages of their net nominal value of amortizations made until the valuation date:

 

Long term rating   Maximum Value %   Short term rating   Maximum value %
BB+, BB, BB-   Ninety (90)   3   Ninety (90)
B+, B, B-   Seventy (70)   4   Fifty (50)
CCC   Fifty (50)   5 and 6   Zero (0)
DD, EE   Zero (0)    

 

In the investments classified as held to maturity and for which a fair exchange price can be established, the provision is the difference between its amortized cost in the books and such price.

 

5.2. Issuing securities or issuers without external loan risk ratings and equity securities.

 

These securities are evaluated and rated according to the methodology defined by the Parent Company. The maximum value defined by the Superintendence, by which these investments are registered according to their ratings is:

 

Category   Maximum value
recorded %(1)
  Characteristics of the investments
         
B  acceptable risk, higher than normal   Eighty (80)   They present uncertainty factors which could affect the capacity to continue with the adequate compliance of debt services and weaknesses which could affect its financial situation.
         
C  appreciable risk   Sixty (60)   They present high or medium noncompliance probability in the timely payment of capital and interests and weaknesses in its financial situation which involve the investment recovery.
         
D  significant risk   Forty (40)   They present a break of terms agreed in the title and weaknesses in its financial situation, so that the probability to recover the investment is highly doubtful.
         
E  uncollectible   Zero (0)   It is considered uncollectible.

 

(1) On the net nominal value of amortizations made until the valuation date for the debt securities or for the acquisition cost less the provision for equity securities.

 

18
 

 

F. Loan Portfolio and financial leasing operations.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies grant loans in the commercial, consumer, mortgage segments for housing and small business loans, as indicated below, in the terms of average loans, financial leasing operations and factoring.

 

The loans granted are recorded for their net nominal value of the loans received from the customers, except for the portfolio purchases that are recorded for their acquisition cost and those granted in foreign currency which are recorded at the current representative market exchange rate on the date of disbursement, the accrued interests are recorded as accounts receivable and advances as a deferred payment in the liability.

 

The financial leasing operations are recorded as a loan portfolio for the value of the asset leased to the customers and subsequently amortized with the payment of the rents corresponding to the principal balance payment.

 

The Subordinate Company Bancolombia Panamá S.A. authorized by the Superintendence of Banks of Panama includes loans held in joint ownership in its loan portfolio. These are loans in which the Subordinate Company does not assume any loan risk and that despite having been sold and paid 100%, they are retired or canceled from the portfolio group. The profit in this business is generated in the intermediation margin, between the interests received by the venture portfolio and the interests paid by the invested portfolio.

 

1. Loans Classification.

 

The structure of the loan and financial leasing operations portfolio is classified as:

 

Mortgage

 

Those which regardless of their amount are granted to natural persons, intended for the purchase of new or used homes, or the construction of individual mortgage and they comply with the terms of Law 546/1999, among them: be denominated in UVR or in legal tender, be guaranteed with a first degree mortgage on the property subject to financing and the amortization term must be comprised between 5 and 30 years at most.

 

Consumer

 

Those which regardless of their amount are granted to natural persons to finance the purchase of consumer goods or the payment of services for non-commercial or business purposes, other than those granted under a small business loans.

 

Small business loans.

 

Small business loans are loans constituted by the loan active operations which are mentioned in Article 39 of Law 590/2000, or in the rules that modify, replace or add to it, as well as those made with microenterprises in which the main source of payment of the obligations comes from income derived from their activity. The indebtedness balance of the debtor may not exceed one hundred twenty (120) current legal monthly minimum wages at the time of approval of the relevant loan active operation. Indebtedness balance is the amount of current obligations assumed by the relevant microenterprise with the financial sector and other sectors, which are in the records of the data bank operators consulted by the relevant loan or, excluding mortgage loans for housing finance and adding the value of the new obligation.

 

Commercial.

 

All those granted to natural or legal persons for the development of organized economic activities are classified as commercial, different from those granted under a small business loan, consumer and mortgage.

 

The fees and accounts receivable derived from the loan active operations are classified in the modality corresponding to each of the loans.

 

19
 

 

2. Evaluation, rating and allowances for loan risk.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies follow Chapter II of the External Circular 100/1995, which provides the guidelines for the loan risk management, through the Loan Risk Management System (SARC for its initials in Spanish), which comprises the controlling policies, processes, models, allowances and mechanisms that allow the financial institutions to identify, measure and mitigate the loan risk in a proper way.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies assess the risk of their loan portfolio on a monthly basis taking into account the temporary nature of the obligations as well as the risk level associated with the debtor, the latter twice a year in the months of May and November of each year, assessing other risk factors of each debtor mainly related to its capacity to pay and to generate flow of funds to cover the debt.

 

In addition, the immediate assessment of the risk of the loans that are in arrears after having been restructured is required.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinate companies rate and allocate the loan portfolio and financial leasing operations as follows:

 

2.1. General allowance.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinated companies constitute a general allowance only for mortgage and small business loans, at least one percent (1%) over the total amount of the gross loan portfolio.

 

2.2. Individual allowance.

 

For the commercial and consumer portfolio categories, the rating and allowances of the portfolio is established taking into account the Reference Models set out by the Superintendence through Annexes III and V, respectively, of Chapter II of the External Circular 100/1995 of the Superintendence. The portfolio modalities of mortgage and small business loans do not have an associated reference model; therefore their allowances are made based on the delinquency aging, as established in Annex I of the mentioned circular as indicated below.

 

The individual allowance of the loan portfolio under the reference models is established as the sum of two individual components, defined as follows:

 

Pro-cyclical individual component (CIP): It is the part of the individual allowance of the loan portfolio that reflects the loan risk of each debtor, in the present.

 

Countercyclical individual component (CIC): It is the part of the individual allowance of the loan portfolio that reflects the possible changes in the loan risk of the debtors at times in which the impairment of such assets increases. This part is constituted in order to reduce the impact in the income statement when such situation occurs. The internal or reference models must consider and calculate this component based on the available information that reflects those changes.

 

In order to calculate these components of the individual allowance, the Superintendence has defined the matrices “A” and “B” in the aforementioned referenced models to estimate the probability of default associated to growth and economic stability periods indicated below.

 

Under no circumstances, the countercyclical individual component of each obligation may be less than zero and it may not exceed the value of the expected loss calculated with matrix “B” either; likewise, the sum of these two components may not exceed the value of exposure.

 

In order to determine the methodology to be applied for the calculation of these components, the entities must monthly assess the indicators set out by the Superintendence (related to the impairment, efficiency, loan portfolio growth and the financial situation of the entity), which once calculated will determine the methodology of calculation of the components of the loan portfolio individual allowances. According to the above indicators, the Parent Company and its subordinate companies applied the calculation methodology in the cumulative phase during years 2013 and 2012.

 

20
 

 

The estimate of expected loss or individual allowances under the reference models is determined by the following formula:

 

EXPECTED LOSS = [Probability of default] x [Exposure of the asset at default] x [Loss Given Default]

 

Where each of the components is defined as follows:

 

- Probability of Default (PI)

 

It corresponds to the probability that during the twelve (12) months following the cut-off date of the financial statements, the debtors of a specific portfolio may be in default (according to the cases described in Letter b of numeral 1.3.3.1 of Chapter II, External Circular 100/1995). The probability of default is set out according to the matrices issued by the Superintendence, which is indicated below.

 

- Exposure of the asset at default

 

It corresponds to the value exposed by the Parent Company and its subordinate companies, formed by the current principal balance, interests, accounts receivable for interests and other accounts receivable.

 

- Loss Given Default (PDI).

 

It is defined as the economic impairment of the entity in the event that any of the situations of default referred to in letter b of numeral 1.3.3.1 of Chapter II, External Circular 100/1995 takes effect, namely, commercial loans in arrears greater than or equal to 150 days, consumer loans in arrears greater than 90 days, mortgage loans in arrears greater than or equal to 180 days, small business loans in arrears greater than or equal to 30 days..

 

The PDI for debtors qualified in the default category shall suffer a gradual increase according to the days elapsed after classification in such qualifying category.

 

In addition, the Parent Company and its national subordinates perform allowances additional to the minimum required considering specific risk factors for clients such as: economic sector or industry to which the customers belong and other risk factors that are indicative of early impairment, which is the result of the continuous monitoring performed on customers. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 additional allowances to the minimum required have been recorded, in accordance with the methodology prescribed above as follows:

 

Loan Type  2013   2012 
Commercial  $385,249   $338,391 
Consumer   138,200    88,013 
Small business loans   5    6 
Mortgage   1,285    2,155 
Total  $524,739   $428,565 

 

According to the above, the application of reference models and allowances constitution is performed as follows:

 

a) Commercial Portfolio:

 

Initially the following classifications are made and the following variables are considered:

 

Classification of the commercial portfolio by asset level
Company Size   Level of assets in SMMLV
Large Companies   Above 15,000
Medium Companies   Between 5,000 and 15,000
Small Companies   Less than 5,000
     
SMMLV (for its initials in Spanish): Current Legal Monthly Minimum Salary

 

21
 

 

Classification of commercial portfolio per loan risk level
Category   Default aging (days)
Category AA   Between 0 and 29
Category A   Between 30 and 59
Category BB   Between 60 and 89
Category B   Between 90 and 119
Category CC   Between 120 and 149
Default   More than 150

 

In addition to the minimum default requirements for the classification of commercial portfolio, the Parent Company and its subordinates assess each semester in May and November, other risk factors for assigning the rating of each debtor. This risk assessment is based on information relating to the historical performance of the debt, individual characteristics of debtors, guarantees supporting the obligations, loan behavior with other organizations, sector variables, financial information up to a year old, among others. In the assessment of loans to regional entities, in addition to aspects that apply to other debtors, the conditions established in Law 358/1997 and 617/2000 must be considered.

 

The probability of default (PD) is assigned considering the following matrices established by the Superintendence, depending on the type of portfolio:

 

MATRIX A
Rating  Large Company   Medium Company   Small Company   Natural Persons 
AA   1.53%   1.51%   4.18%   5.27%
A   2.24%   2.40%   5.30%   6.39%
BB   9.55%   11.65%   18.56%   18.72%
B   12.24%   14.64%   22.73%   22.00%
CC   19.77%   23.09%   32.50%   32.21%
Default   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%

 

MATRIX B
Rating  Large Company   Medium Company   Small Company   Natural Persons 
AA   2.19%   4.19%   7.52%   8.22%
A   3.54%   6.32%   8.64%   9.41%
BB   14.13%   18.49%   20.26%   22.36%
B   15.22%   21.45%   24.15%   25.81%
CC   23.35%   26.70%   33.57%   37.01%
Default   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%   100.00%

 

The Parent Company and its subordinates use Matrix B in 2013 and 2012 to assign the probability of default in accordance with the instructions given by the Superintendence.

 

The PDI per type of guarantee is the following:

 

As a prudent measure based on the portfolio recovery experience established for customers, the Bank uses the following matrix that enables the early recognition of the PDI increase, using the minimum limit of days established by the Superintendence and not the maximum period of days within the time range allowed by the Superintendence.

Initially the following classifications are made and the following variables were considered:

 

Consumer portfolio classification per segment
General - Vehicles   Loans granted for vehicle purchases
Loan cards   Revolving loan to purchase consumer goods used with a plastic card.
General - Others   Loans granted to purchase consumer goods others than vehicles. Loan cards are not included In this segment.

 

The rating of consumer portfolio is performed per loan risk category. For this purpose the criteria for assigning the rating vary according to the segments described above and are determined by a score called “Z”, calculated from the following variables:

·Default aging at the time of calculating the allowance
·Maximum period of default in the last three years
·Default aging in the last three quarterly periods
·Having or not other loans active in the Bank
·Type of guarantee: ideal, pledge, mortgage
·Prepayments made ​​to loan card

 

According to the score "Z" calculated in the previous point, the rating is assigned based on loan risk categories from the following table, considering that a lower score means a better rating per risk category.

 

Rating  General – Vehicles   Loan Card   General – Others 
AA   0.2484    0.3735    0.3767 
A   0.6842    0.6703    0.8205

B   0.94941    0.9902    0.9971 
CC   1    1    1 
Default   1    1    1 

 

Probability of default (PI):

 

It is assigned considering the following matrix according to the type of portfolio:

Commercial Consumer
  AA AA
A   A with default of 0 to 30 days
B A A with default greater than 30 days
BB BB
C B B
CC CC
C C
D D D
E E E

 

25
 

 

4. Alignment Rules

 

When the Parent Company and its subordinates qualify into risk categories B, C, D or E any of the loans of a debtor, it takes the other loans of the same modality to the highest risk category of the same debtor, unless the existence of reasonable grounds for its rating in a lower risk category is shown to the Superintendence.

 

The financial entities related to the Parent Company under the terms of Article 260-262 of the Code of Commerce, which refer to subordination and control, should give the same rating given to the Bank, unless there are reasons to keep them in a lower risk category as demonstrated to the Superintendence.

 

The Superintendence may order classifying or rating again the categories assigned by financial institutions. Likewise it shall order again portfolio ratings for an economic sector, geographic area, or for a debtor or group of debtors, which obligations should accumulate under the rules of individual debt quotas.

 

5. Suspension of interest accruals

 

Mortgage loans will cease to accrue interest, when the loan presents two (2) months in arrears, under the allowances of paragraph 2.3.1.1 of Chapter II, External Circular 100/1995 of the Superintendence.

 

The Parent Company has established as a policy that any form of loan, other than mortgage and commercial construction (which is from 60 days), which is more than 30 days overdue, shall cease generating interests in the income statement, and its registration shall be made in memorandum accounts until the customer proceeds with its cancellation. Those loans that fall in default and that stop causing interests, monetary correction, UVR, exchange adjustments, rents and income for other concepts, will cease causing interests the first day of default status.

 

6. Effect of guarantees on provisions

 

For purposes of the constitution of individual provisions, the guarantees only support the loan principal; consequently, the balances to be amortized of the loans covered with securities having the character of ideal guarantees are provisioned as follows:

 

Mortgage

 

For the calculation of mortgage provisions only ideal guarantees are taken into account, which are considered at 100% of its value

 

An Ideal guarantee are those duly formalized supports that, in addition to meeting admissibility requirements, i.e., with a value established based on technical criteria and objectives and providing the Parent Company and its subordinates a legally effective support for the payment of the guaranteed obligation, grant to the Parent Company and its subordinates a possibility of reasonably adequate realization. Also those supports that in the opinion of the Superintendence are expressly designated as confidential, such as payment sources that unconditionally meet the loan for the simple requirement of the Bank, and the guarantees granted by the Nation that have the relevant budgetary appropriation approved and certified by the competent authority shall be considered suitable guarantees.

 

26
 

 

Small business loans

 

Regarding small business loan, the difference between the unpaid balance and the seventy percent (70%) of the guarantee value is applied to the percentage that corresponds as set out in Annex 1 of Chapter II of the External Circular 100 of 1995 issued by the Superintendence.

 

7. Write-offs

 

The Parent Company writes-off all customers classified as unrecoverable, according to the classification stated below, within a period not exceeding the end of the six-month period in which they were classified as unrecoverable, provided they meet the following conditions:

·Provision of 100% (principal, interests and other concepts).
·One hundred eighty (180) days overdue in the case of consumer loans and small business loans.
·Three hundred sixty days (360) overdue in the case of commercial portfolio.
·One thousand six hundred and twenty days (1620) overdue in case of mortgage loans.

 

All the writes-off are previously approved by the Board of Directors. The Parent Company performs sales of bad debt portfolio in cash without recourse and recognizes this fact as an income recovery.

.

 

8. Loan Portfolio Securitization

 

The Parent Company has implemented mortgage portfolio securitization processes (in UVR and fixed rate).

 

The process of mortgage loan securitization is framed within the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 12 of Law 546/1999 and Chapter XV - Securitization of Loan Portfolio External Circular 100 of 1995. The Parent company proceeded to completely separate and isolate from its equity all the underlying assets subject to securitization forming an Universality, according to what is stated in Article 2 of Resolution 775 of 2001 of the Superintendence, issuing securities representing loans granted for financing the construction and acquisition of housing, classified as A, B and C. Securities A are sold to Securitization and Securities B and C are acquired by the Parent Company and registered under the PUC code 198013 – Trust Rights – Investments, in response to the instructions received by the Superintendence. The expenses incurred for taking possession of the guarantee are paid by the Parent Company; and in return the Parent Company receives the remainder after paying the entire principal and interest of such securities.

 

The withdrawal of the portfolio subject to securitization and other underlying assets is performed for the net value in books on the date of negotiation. If the transaction presents a difference between the book value of the assets transferred and the value received in money or other goods, a profit or an expense for the year is recorded according to whether it meets the following requirements:

 

• The transfer of assets intended to be part of the securitization process must have been made exclusively for securitization companies, for comprising Universalities called special purpose vehicles.

 

• The transfer of assets must be carried out by ownership unbundling of assets subject to securitization and the creation of the corresponding Universality.

 

• The alienation or transfer of the assets subject to securitization must not be subject to any kind of express or implied resolutory condition.

 

• During the development of the alienation or transfer of the assets subject to securitization, all benefits and risks inherent or derived from such assets should have been transferred.

 

• In no event the Originator may have, with respect to securitized assets, facultative powers of disposal, control, limitation, impairment or replacement, repurchase, use or enjoyment of the assets transferred or sold.

 

In those events in which the above requirements are met and a positive residual right is generated, the Parent Company, as a beneficiary of such rights, shall recognize, in accounting terms, as investment, the proportion that corresponds to such residual rights in the relevant universality subject to the conditions defined for that purpose in the issuing regulations; the consideration for such registration shall be the revenue account for investments valuation. This value should be adjusted at least on an annual basis on the date of compliance of the anniversary of the Universality and in any event on the date of accounting closure of the year.

 

27
 

 

These residual rights are a consequence of the valuation process by the Manager of the Securitization Process, of the cash flows of both the underlying asset and the correlated liability, discounted to the internal rate of return (IRR) from the liability corresponding to the securities issued. Their value can fluctuate in the future depending on the behavior of the prepayment rates and in arrears of the underlying assets.

  

9. Trouble Debt Restructuring

 

Loan restructurings are carried out by implementing different mechanisms, properly implemented in accordance with the regulations, which aim to modify the terms originally agreed upon in order to allow the debtor the properly care for its obligation before the actual or potential deterioration of its payment ability. The extension of terms is included within these mechanisms.

 

In cases where as a result of restructuring agreements or any other form of agreement, the capitalization of interest that are registered in contingent accounts or balances of bad debt portfolio including principal, interests and other concepts is considered, they will be counted as deferred income and its capital amortization shall be made in proportion to the amounts actually collected.

 

Likewise, for purposes of estimating the provision, loans may improve rating or modify its default condition after being restructured, only when the debtor proves a payment behavior that is regular and effective to capital. To this end, the Bank has defined the following policy:

 

When the loan has been restructured in external rating B or C, it shall maintain such rating for a freezing period of 2 months from the restructuring date and after this period it will be improved to a degree for every two timely payments (according to the payments plan agreed) in which payment to capital is made.

 

When the loan has been restructured in rating D or E, it shall remain for a freezing period of 4 months from the date of restructuring. From this period the customer must make two payments that contain payment of capital to be classified in Category C and thereafter it will improve in a degree for every four timely payments in which a payment to capital is made.

 

The initial rating of a restructuring is the one assigned by the Business Manager or by the Client Reconciliation Department of the Bank according to their knowledge of the client's financial situation and its ability to adequately serve the debt service; however, such rating may not be higher than the one presented by the customer at the time of restructuring.

  

G. Operations with derivatives

 

According to the regulations of the Superintendence, operations with derivatives are defined as agreements between two or more parties to buy or sell financial instruments on a future date, or agreements where the underlying asset is an index or an exchange price. The Parent Company and its subordinates perform operations with commercial purposes or hedging purposes in forward agreements, options, swaps and futures.

 

All derivatives are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement. Before the entry into force on 1 March, 2013 of External Circular 052 of 2012, the changes in market value of swaps on the first day of valuation were deferred and acknowledged in the income statement on a straight line basis during the life of the agreement. The change in this rule derived in an increase in income for $11,980.

 

1. Valuation

 

Fair value is determined as follows:

 

28
 

 

1.1.Forward

 

It is performed according to the standard methodology defined by the price provider and not objected by the Superintendence, using quotations of forward points published by the price provider selected by the entity.

 

1.2. Futures

 

Futures are valued on the basis of the corresponding market price on the date of valuation. These prices are provided by the price provider selected by the entity.

 

1.3. Valuation of ‘swaps’

 

1.3.1. Interest rate ‘swap’ – IRS

 

The valuation of an interest rate 'swap' in which the two (2) points are in the same currency is performed with the standard accepted methodology, which resembles the way of establishing the exchange fair price of a portfolio of two (2) bonds, one (1) as a short position and another as a long position, both in the same currency, including in each case the operation capital. The fundamental distinction between the form of assessing the IRS 'swap' and any bond lies in two aspects: 1) the valuation of a bond in the cash market is made by making a discount on the interest rate negotiated in the market in the valuation date, while the valuation of 'swap' flows is made by using as the discount rates the corresponding zero coupon rates, and 2 ) that the projection of future cash flows of bonds at the variable rate is made with rates in force in the market on the date of valuation, while swaps flows projection is performed using implied future rates.

 

1.3.2. ‘Cross Currency Swap’ – CCS

 

1.3.2.1. Valuation when flows of the (2) points of 'swap' coincide in time

The valuation of currency 'swaps' in which one end is denominated in foreign currency and the other end in Colombian pesos and when the flows in a currency coincide in time with the flows in another currency will be performed with the accepted standard methodology, according to which it is valued as a portfolio or series of 'forwards'. One party acts as if it sold the 'forwards' and the other part as if it purchases them. Then the net value of the 'forwards' portfolio is obtained by adding the valuations of the various 'forward' in which the currency 'swap' may be separated.

 

From the net value of 'forwards' portfolio established as indicated above, the Bank should estimate the fair exchange price of the 'swap' agreement, which should be recorded in the financial statements.

 

1.3.2.2. Valuation when the flows of the two points of 'swap' do not coincide in time

 

The valuation of currency 'swaps' in which one end is denominated in foreign currency and the other end in Colombian pesos, and flows in a currency do not necessarily coincide in time with the flow in the other currency, can be performed with the standard accepted methodology, according to which it is valued as a portfolio of two (2) bonds, one (1) in each currency, including for this purpose the relevant capital amounts of the operation. This way, a bond corresponds to the short position and the other to the long position, depending on the point that is being valued. The net value of the portfolio of the two (2) 'bonds' is the difference in the valuations of the two ends.

 

Input for the valuation of IRS and CCS swaps is provided by the price provider selected by the entity.

 

1.4. European Options

 

European options traded on stock exchanges or trading systems are always measured on the basis of the corresponding market price on the date of valuation. Inputs for the valuation of options are provided by the price provider selected by the entity.

 

Regarding European options traded over the counter the valuation model of Garmen-Kollhagen is used when the underlying is a currency, which is an extension of the Black-Scholes model.

 

29
 

 

1.5 Hedge accounting

 

The subordinate company Banistmo S.A. records hedge accounting. The accounting treatment regarding the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are linked to hedging strategies depends on each of the classifications in the following categories:

 

1.5.1. Fair value Hedge

 

Derivative instruments designated for fair value hedging are instruments that cover the exposure to changes in fair value of recognized assets or liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position, or an identified portion of the value of such assets or liabilities that is attributable to the specific risk and that may affect net income presented in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The hedging instrument is stated at fair value with respect to the risk being covered.

 

Changes in the value of these instruments are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

 

1.5.2. Cash flow hedges

 

Derivative instruments designated for cash flow hedges, are instruments that cover the exposure to variability in cash flows associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable foreseeable transaction. The effective portion of any change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion of any change in fair value is recognized in operating results. The amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the consolidated income statement in the periods in which hedge transactions affect operating results. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative remaining gain or loss existing in equity is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

 

If the hedge of a foreseeable transaction subsequently results in the recognition of an asset or liability, the associated gains or losses that would have been recognized directly in equity will be reclassified to income in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or the liability assumed affects the operating results. The adjustment to the value in books of a hedging instrument remains in equity until the disposal of the asset or liability.

 

If it is considered that the foreseeable transaction will not occur, the balance maintained as unrealized profit or loss is immediately reclassified to the consolidated income statement.

 

2. Presentation in the Financial Statements

 

The rights and obligations are recorded separately within the relevant assets and liabilities, for the cases where the value of the right, minus the value of the obligation result in a positive balance (in favor of the Entity) both the right and the obligation should be counted in the asset accounts, meanwhile, the ones resulting on a negative exchange fair price must be registered in liabilities, performing the same separation.

 

H. Foreclosed assets

 

1. Accounting record

 

Record the value of the assets received by the Bank in payment of unpaid balances from obligations on its behalf.

 

The foreclosed assets represented in real estate or personal property are received based on a commercial appraisal technically determined and those payments in kind as shares are received based on the market value.

 

For the registration of the foreclosed assets the following conditions are taken into account:

 

•          The initial registration is performed in accordance with the value determined in the legal award or the one agreed with the debtors, estimated according to recent appraisals

 

•          When the foreclosed asset is not in disposal conditions, its cost increases for necessary expenses incurred for placing the good in salable conditions

 

30
 

 

•          If between the value for which the good is received as payment and the value of the obligation to be paid there is a balance in favor of the debtor, this difference is accounted as an account payable; in the event the value of the good is not able to cover the entire obligation, the difference should be recognized immediately in the income statement.

 

•          Foreclosed assets corresponding to investment securities are valued applying the criteria indicated in this note, in paragraph E), but taking into account those required of provision for periods of continuation referred to below.

 

•          Income generated from the loan sale of the goods received as payment and restituted, is deferred over the term granted, and is realized with the payments according to the purchase and sale agreement.

 

•          When the commercial value of the property is less than the value in books, a provision is recorded for the difference. Valuations are recognized in memorandum accounts.

 

2. Legal term for the sale of foreclosed assets

 

Entities should make the sale of goods that are transferred as payment of debts previously contracted in the course of business or those that may be allocated in a public auction, by reason of mortgages constituted in its favor, within the next two years from the acquisition date.

 

3. Allowance

 

Real estate: a provision is constituted charged to income in monthly installments within the year following the receipt of the property, a provision equivalent to 30% of its reception value, which must be increased in monthly installments within the second year in an additional 30% until reaching 60% of the acquisition cost of the asset received as payment. Once the legal term for sale has expired without approval of the extension, the provision should be increased by 20% until reaching 80% of its reception value. If an extension is granted, this additional 20% may be constituted within the term of the extension.

 

Personal Property: As Bank policy all personal property except for vehicles are provisioned at 100% at the time of receipt of the good.

 

The provision of personal property vehicles is constituted under the rule of the Superintendence as follows: It is constituted within the year following receipt of the property, equivalent to 35% of the acquisition cost in monthly installments, which must be increased in the second year in an additional 35%. Once the legal term for sale has expired without approval of the extension, the provision must be 100% of the value of the good recorded in the books. If the extension is granted, the remaining 30% of the provision may be constituted within the term of the extension.

 

The securities, received as payment are valued according to the criteria established by the Superintendence for the valuation of investments provided in Chapter I of External Circular 100 of 1995. Considering that the goods received as payment held by the Parent Company and its subordinates, except for vehicles, are provisioned at 100%, such valuation process is not required.

 

As a policy of the Parent Company and its subordinates the additional provisions on those goods which individual feasibility study of performance is unfavorable are recorded; that is, on those goods that, due to particular characteristics or conditions duly supported, are considered difficult to market at the discretion of the Committee of Assets Sale.

 

Additionally, as a policy of the Parent Company all assets received as payment that have 5 years from their date of registration in the financial statements shall be subject to the application of an adjustment to the provision, taking the latter to 100% of the value recorded in books. Those goods on which there is an agreement or a promise of sale are excluded from this practice.

 

 

31
 

 

I. Properties and equipment

 

Records the tangible assets acquired, taken in leasing, constructed or in an import, construction or assembly process, used permanently in the development of the course of business and which useful life exceeds one (1) year. They are recorded at cost, which includes direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred until the moment in which the asset is ready for use and the inflation adjustments accumulated until the year 2000.

 

Additions, improvements and extraordinary compensations that significantly increase the useful life of assets are recorded as the highest value of the cost and reimbursements for maintenance and compensations made for its preservation, charged to expenses as incurred.

 

Depreciation is registered using the straight line method and according to the number of years of estimated useful life of the assets. According to Decree 3019/1989 the annual depreciation rates for each asset item are:

 

Buildings   5%
Equipment, furniture and office furnishings   10%
Computer equipment   20%
Vehicles   20%
Monitors, laptops   33%

 

The net individual value in books of the properties (cost minus accumulated depreciation) is compared to the market value determined based on appraisals performed by persons or firms of recognized specialty and independence; if the second is greater than the first the valuation is recorded, otherwise, a provision charged to expenses for the period is recorded. Appraisals are updated at least every three years.

 

J. Branches and Agencies

 

It records the movement of operations performed between branches and agencies.

 

Balances are reconciled daily and pending items are regularized within a period not exceeding thirty (30) calendar days; the net balances, at accounting closing, are reclassified to asset or liability accounts of the balance sheet and revenue and expenses are recognized, depending on their nature.

 

K. Prepaid expenses and deferred charges

 

Prepaid expenses

 

Prepaid expenses correspond to expenses incurred by the Parent Company and its subordinates in the development of their activity, which benefit is received in various periods and assumes the continuous performance of services to be received.

 

Prepaid expenses mainly include monetary items, interest amortized monthly during the prepaid period; insurance during the policy term, the leases during the prepaid period; maintenance of the equipment during the term of the agreement and other expenses during the period in which services are received or costs or expenses incurred.

 

Deferred charges

 

Deferred charges correspond to those goods and services received that are expected to generate future economic benefits. The costs incurred in licenses are deferred.

 

The deferred tax debit is also recorded as shown later in accounting policy letter “Q”. In the case of expenses incurred in the initial study stage of technological projects, the costs incurred are charged to income.

 

The discount in placement of investment securities is amortized during the term for the redemption of the securities issued by the straight-line method.

 

Contributions and affiliations are amortized during the over prepaid period.

 

The Parent Company and its subordinates do not record deferred charges for remodeling, studies and projects, advertising and institutional promotion. The value of disbursements for these items is recorded directly to the income statement when incurred.

 

32
 

 

Computer programs (software) are amortized over a period not exceeding three (3) years

 

The payments made in respect of software purchases and licensing, which amount exceeds $120, will be deferred in a period of 12 months and if less it shall be amortized in one installment.

 

In 2013, investments in technology denominated within the matrix as Innova Project were resized regarding the scope, focusing only on the implementation of Cards and Core (starting with the implementation of the mortgage solution). The feasibility of such projects is regularly reviewed in order to analyze the recoverability of investments made and are recorded directly to income when it is concluded that the project or a part thereof does not generate future economic benefits.

 

The accounting guidelines associated to the old Innova Project and to the implementation of Card and Core are the following:

 

Software Licensing: Has a term to be deferred of 36 months from the time the applications enter into production.

 

Fees and other payments, directly related to software development: have a term of 36 months to be deferred from the time in which the applications enter into production. Invoices for fees with an amount less than $ 50 have been recorded directly in expenses.

 

Fees not directly associated with software development and other indirect costs (training and replacement of internal resources, among others): Are not deferred, are directly recognized in expenses when incurred.

 

The other items different to the above such as employment costs of employees involved with the project, among others: are not deferred, are recognized directly in expenses when incurred.

 

Equity Tax: In accordance with applicable accounting provisions in Colombia, the wealth tax was recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized by being charged to the equity account of Equity Revaluation, for the entities of the Group that have balance or directly to income by means of the straight-line method. During the years 2013 and 2012 the amortization of the corresponding aliquots was performed, additionally in 2013 the Matrix performed the full amortization of the remaining balance of the deferred, charged to the equity account of Equity Revaluation.

 

L. Goodwill

 

Value determination is made at the time in which the control is effectively obtained on the acquired company. Such value is distributed in each of the business lines, which must be fully identified, even in accounting terms. In any case, there is no recognition of the goodwill acquired with respect to acquisitions between controlling and controlled or subordinate entities, or between entities with the same controlling entity in terms of Articles 260 and 261 of the Code of Commerce, or between those entities that comprise a business group in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 and following of Law 222/1995.

It records the assets under operating leasing that, following the relevant agreement, are provided to the user for its use.

 

In the case of assets given under operating leasing other than vehicles, depreciation shall be made ​​in the shorter time between the useful life of the asset and the period of the operating lease agreement, the methodology will be financial depreciation (deducting the recovery value) in such a way that the depreciation of the leased assets keeps a proper relationship with the revenue generated.

 

The system of financial depreciation requires that every month or part of the month the expense for depreciation is recorded; therefore, no depreciation methods with grace periods or using discount rates outside of the market for the estimation of the depreciation value will be admissible.

 

In all cases the value of the unamortized asset in the rent (residual value) shall not be subject to depreciation. However, when the entity has not guaranteed the recovery value by means of a third party, depreciation shall be made ​​by one hundred percent of the value of the asset given in lease.

 

Depreciation of vehicles delivered under operating leasing is performed using the following criteria:

  

1.Vehicles that as of December 31, 2009 were under a lease agreement preserve the useful life of five (5) years until maturity

 

2.For vehicles mentioned in paragraph 1, that are extended in their original term, from January 1, 2010, the new residual life will be calculated and its useful life will be extended until the end date of the lease agreement.

 

3.Vehicles of lease agreements as of January 1, 2010, are depreciated based on the term of the agreement and the one calculated directly for the lease agreement shall be deemed as residual.

 

Regarding vehicles, valuations are calculated by the difference between the net value in books of the asset at the end of each year and the valuation determined by the net present value of the payable fees under the agreements, plus the present value of the residual value, for which the vehicle is expected to be sold.

 

Both missing fees and residual value are deducted taking into account the current value of the negotiated rate plus the points described in the agreement. For the DTF the rate in force on the date of analysis in Quarterly Advance (TA) terms shall be considered. For the CPI, the rate of the previous 12 months known to date of analysis is the one considered.

 

The net present value of lease fees is adjusted by the level of portfolio risk.

 

34
 

 

When there is an early termination of the agreement, the valuation of such assets is equal to the commercial value at the time of the analysis to the extent that this is the value to recover by assets that terminate the agreement before the agreed term.

(1)During the period between January and September, the bank portfolios were impacted by upward movements in interest rates globally. During this period the possible withdrawal of money from the Federal Reserve System of the United States (FED) was announced. The bank had a high exposure to the long end of the TES curve which was negatively impacted in its assessment. Taking into account the expectations for the development of market rates in the following months, it was decided to reduce the exposure by liquidating positions, thereby reducing the consumption of Value at Risk (VAR) limiting future exposure.

 

39
 

 

(2)It includes the investment in depreciable interest trust certificates issued by the Environmental Trust for the Conservation of the Coffee Forest (FICAFE). This Trust was formed with the assignment and transfer of the loan portfolio of the coffee sector made by some banks of the Financial System of El Salvador, including Banco Agrícola, in order to carry out the restructuring of these loans, sponsored by the Government of that country.

 

The banks that have made the transfer of such loans secure the payment thereof in case of default by customers, therefore, the open mortgage guarantees granted by debtors are payable to the bank. Additionally, the bank, as part of the constitution of such trust, received, as part of the Agricultural Guarantee Program (PROGARA) assigned to the Special Trust of Agricultural Development (FEDA), an additional security equivalent to 16.67% of the value of delinquent loans.

 

A provision for a value of USD$14,968 is included in the financial statements of Banco Agrícola El Salvador as of December 31, 2013; this provision corresponds to the value that management estimates could be the loss for the surety it has granted to ensure the recovery of the Trust’s portfolio.

 

(3)In accordance with the provisions of the External Circular 047/2008 -Securitization Loan Portfolio - Chapter XV of Circular 100/1995, was recorded in investments up to maturity and represents the proportion that corresponds to the Bank for the residual rights resulting from the securitization process of mortgage portfolio. These residual rights are a consequence of the assessment process by the Securitization Process Manager, of the cash flows of both the underlying asset and the correlative liability, discounted at the internal rate of return (IRR) of the liability that corresponds to the securities issued. Its value may fluctuate in the future depending on the behavior of the prepayment and default rates of the underlying assets.

 

(4)In October 2013, prior obtaining of the corresponding regulatory authorizations, Bancolombia Panamá S.A., an affiliate of Bancolombia S.A., acquired 40% of common voting shares of Grupo Agromercantil Holding S.A., Panamanian company that owns the Agri-Commercial Financial Conglomerate of Guatemala.

Calculation of the proportional equity securities

The proportional equity value is the result of multiplying the equity of the subordinate company, as of the date of investment, by the ownership percentage acquired by the Parent Company on the same date.

 

When the ownership percentage in one subordinate company increases, regarding the percentage owned at the moment of purchase, with one or more acquisitions, the corresponding calculation is made by multiplying such increase -percentage- by the total value of the equity of the subordinate company on the date of acquisition.

 

In cases where the equity of the subordinate company is increased by the acquisition of corporate rights and, in turn, this means an increase in the percentage interest in the capital stock, the equity value is calculated based on the equity of the subordinate company once such increase has been applied.

·Relevant aspects of the valuation performed by the firm SBI Banca de Inversión

 

SBI Banca de Inversión, considered the following aspects when performing the valuation of goodwill of Banagrícola:

 

üDiscounted Cash Flows Available: To estimate the future available cash flows a model was built to simulate the likely financial performance of the entity or line of business being assessed, under assumptions deemed reasonable and objective, considering the characteristics of the business and its macroeconomic environment.

 

üDiscount Rate: In general terms, the rate used to discount the projected cash flows corresponds to weighted cost of capital (WACC). To express the discount rate in real terms, it is assumed that long term inflation is equivalent to the average annual inflation of USA, for the same period in which the market premium was calculated. Although the financial statements and free cash flows were projected in current terms, they were inflation-adjusted before applying the discount rate in real terms.

 

üRisk Free Rate: The use of the current yields of the US treasury bonds is recommended. In addition to the free rate, it must fulfill two basic conditions: the absence of moratorium risk and the absence of reinvestment risk.

 

üMarket Premium: corresponds to the differential expectation of yields between the stock market and the risk free rate; the long-term historic average is accepted as an acceptable indicator for these purposes.

 

üMateriality Principle: It is based on giving greater importance to things that reasonably have it, approximate that of less importance and ignore or eliminate what is trivial. Given the difficulty in differentiating what is important from what is not, the analyst should have had an objective appreciation of the facts, being necessary for him to apply his best professional criterion and practical sense to assess the facts and events.

 

üMacroeconomic Projections: A study is performed on aspects such as GDP, its composition, its growth; the behavior of the balance of trade, the family remittances, the national budget and the public debt of El Salvador.

 

üPolitical Environment: It was found that the government remains committed to a policy of free market through the free trade agreement CAFTA since 2006, with the promotion of foreign investment in key industries and diversifying the economy by focusing on transport and tourism industries. In December 2011, the Administration undertook a major tax reform which allowed it to increase its revenue to support the main government programs and maintain a tax system that promotes business investment.

 

üFinancial Performance: Currently Banco Agrícola has a market share in loan portfolio close to 28%, ahead by almost double from its nearest competitor. The bank also owns 40% of the net profits of the system, which is an indisputable example of operational efficiency.

 

SBI Banca de Inversión considered the following aspects when performing the goodwill valuation of Uff Móvil:

 

üValuation Methodology: The Discounted Cash Flow Available methodology is used and three scenarios are projected to determine the reasonable market value of the company.

  

49
 

 

üDiscount Rates: The rate used to discount the projected cash flows corresponds to the weighted cost of capital (WACC) of 15%, which considers adjustments to the beta to reflect the fact that the company is in a phase of growth, with a moderate level of uncertainty upon the implementation of its business model.

 

üMateriality Principle

 

üIdentification and Valuation of business lines: According to the definitions of grupo Bancolombia, Uff Móvil constitutes in itself a single business unit.

 

üHistoric Evolution: Between the years 2011 and 2013 operating income and gross profits have had a Compound Annual Growth (CAG) equal to 33.6% and 29.5% respectively, negative levels of EBITDA, but decreasing compared to its revenue and a decrease in the rotation of accounts payable, accounts receivable and inventory.

 

üConclusion: SBI Banca de Inversión suggests keeping a current amortization period of goodwill and reassess the decision based on the results of the test corresponding to the period 2014.

Note 12 – Income Tax

 

Tax regulations in force in 2013 applicable to the parent company and its subsidiaries establish the following:

 

1.Income Tax

 

a.According to the provisions of Law 1607/2012, the rate applicable to taxable income as of 2013 is 25%; in 2012, it was 33%.

 

The base to determine the income tax cannot be less than 3% of the company’s liquid net worth on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year.

 

b.Occasional income is settled separately from ordinary income and is taxed at a rate of 10% as of 2013; in 2012, the rate was equivalent to 33%.

 

Occasional income is deemed as the income obtained from the disposal of fixed income and shares held for two (2) years or more, and the profits derived from the liquidation of companies, among others.

 

c.The regulation allows determining the higher value paid during the acquisition of shares as goodwill, which may be considered as a deductible.

 

d.The calculation of taxable and non-taxable dividends, with respect to profits obtained as of 2013, allows including the tax discounts derived from taxes paid abroad and carry-backs and carry-forwards.

 

e.VAT paid in the purchase of capital assets may be managed as a tax discount in the income tax return.

 

f.Deferred tax credits and/or debits are calculated over the differences presented between income and tax deductions with respect to accounting income and expenses registered in the financial statements for investments, derivative operations, decreed and unpaid dividends, estimated liabilities, among others, generating temporary differences on December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 and implying the deferral of the income tax, which is calculated as a deferred tax credit and/or debit, as applicable. This tax is paid when the differences generating the same are reverted.

 

g.Deductions for investments in real fixed productive assets applied until the 2010 fiscal year for the majority of income taxpayers; notwithstanding the foregoing, Leasing Bancolombia and Renting Colombia, which have signed a legal stability agreement, may continue to apply this tax benefit during the term of the agreement. The foregoing implies that these companies may establish a 40% deduction in the tax returns related to the purchases of real fixed productive assets.

 

2.Income Tax for Equality– CREE.

 

a)The Income Tax for Equality – CREE (for its acronym in Spanish) was created for companies, legal entities and other assimilated entities, whether foreign or domestic, which must file income tax and supplementary tax returns.

 

b)The rate for this tax is 9% for 2013 to 2015, and shall be 8% as of 2016.

 

c)The event responsible for generating the Income Tax for Equality – CREE, is the attainment of income susceptible of increasing the company’s net worth. The taxable base is determined based on the entirety of the gross income earned during the year susceptible of increasing net worth, excluding occasional income or non-income benefits. This base allows the subtraction of costs and deductions accepted in the settlement of income by the Ordinary System, except in certain deductions such as: donations, contributions to mutual funds, tax loss compensations, deduction of real fixed productive assets, among others.

 

59
 

 

Said taxable base cannot be lower than three percent (3%) of the liquid net worth from the preceding year.

 

3.Equity Tax

 

Law 1370/2009 established the equity tax for 2011 assumed income taxpayers; therefore, any taxpayer with a liquid net worth in excess of $5,000 must pay a rate equivalent to 4.8%. By means of the economic emergency decree 4825/2010, a 25% surcharge was established for this tax, due to which the total rate was now equivalent to 6%. The equity tax that was generated, including the surcharge, amounts to $469,002, which must be paid from the 2011 fiscal year until the 2014 fiscal year. In 2013, the company paid 2 installments equivalent to $117,251, which were registered in the revaluation account in equity or expenses.

 

4.Transfer Pricing

 

Income taxpayers having entered into operations with foreign economic affiliates or related parties and/or with residents of countries deemed as tax havens are bound to determine the operations by applying the principle of full competition for the purposes of the income tax and any other supplementary tax. For purposes of the foregoing, taxpayers must indicate the economic functions or activities, the assets used and the risks assumed within the operations, thereby complying with the formal obligations related to the presentation of the transfer pricing study and the respective tax return.

 

The transfer pricing study corresponding to 2012 has already been presented, without the need to establish additional provisions in the income tax section.

 

5.Taxation of Foreign Affiliates

 

a.With respect to the companies of Grupo Bancolombia domiciled in Panama, Bancolombia Panamá, S.A., Sistema de Inversiones y Negocios S.A., Banagrícola S.A., Suvalor Panamá Fondo de Inversión S.A. and Valores Bancolombia Panamá S.A., and domiciled in the Cayman Islands, Bancolombia Cayman S.A., income taxes are regulated according to the provisions of the Panamanian Fiscal Code, which indicates that profits derived from operations carried out outside of the Republic of Panama cannot be taxed. Due to the foregoing, the profits obtained by the Companies mentioned above are not subject to income tax.

 

Banistmo S.A and its affiliates incorporated in the Republic of Panama pay an income tax rate equivalent to 27.5% for 2013, and 25% as of 2014, on the profits obtained in the country. According to the tax regulations currently in force in the country, earnings derived from foreign operations, from interest earned on fixed-term deposits in local banks, debt securities from the Government of Panama and from investments in securities listed in the Superintendence of the Securities Market (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores), are exempt from the payment of income tax.

 

b.Subsidiaries incorporated in El Salvador must pay the income tax on income obtained in the country at a rate of 30%, according to El Salvador’s Income Tax Law contained in Legislative Decree No. 134/1991, which entered into effect on January 1, 1992.

 

The latest reform, which entered into effect on January 1, 2012, established that companies domiciled in the country with income equal to or greater than USD150 per year will only pay 25% on taxable income. Dividends are excluded from the calculation of the tax, and shall be taxed at a rate of 5% upon their distribution.

 

c.According to the International Banking Center Regulatory Act, subsidiary Bancolombia Puerto Rico is 100% exempt from taxes on its earnings and property and from municipal taxes, as long as the same are derived from international banking activities.

 

60
 

 

d.Subsidiaries incorporated in Peru must pay income tax on net income obtained in the country at a tax rate equivalent to 30%. If the company distributes its profits either in whole or in part, an additional rate equivalent to 4.1% shall apply to the distributed amount, which must be paid by the shareholders regardless if they are individuals or legal entities that are not domiciled in the country. The foregoing according to the provisions of Supreme Decree No. 122-94-EF.

 

Fondo de Inversión Arrendamiento Operativo Renting Perú is exempt from the foregoing, given that as of the 2003 fiscal year and according to the provisions of Law No. 27804 (published on August 2, 2002), Investment Funds are no longer considered legal entities for purposes of the Income Tax, and are therefore exempt from paying the same. Income taxes shall be borne by the participants.

 

e.The parent company has no plans in the near future to bring the profits accumulated from previous fiscal years and generated through foreign subsidiaries Bancolombia Panamá and Puerto Rico, which were included in the Consolidated Financial Statements on December 31, 2013, to Colombia. Said profits, under Colombian regulations, amount to USD581,956 (2012- USD481,880), and if brought to Colombia, they would generate income taxes at the current rate in force.

 

Note 13 – Contingencies

 

The Parent Company

 

a. Contingencies covered by Fogafin

 

Within the privatization process of the former Banco de Colombia (absorbed in 1998), which concluded in January 31, 1994, the Financial Institution Guarantee Fund (Fondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras FOGAFIN), undertook to assume the economic effects derived as a consequence of passive contingencies caused from events prior to the date of sale of the shares claimed within the five following years. On December 31, 2013, there are no civil contingencies covered by FOGAFIN for Bancolombia with the guarantee, given that the related processes have already been completed and FOGAFIN returned the amounts requested to the Bank.

 

b. Legal Proceedings

 

On December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were ordinary civil lawsuits, class actions and civil actions within criminal and executive proceedings that had been filed against the Bank, with claims approximately amounting to $261,434 and $270,153, respectively, and with provisions on the same date equivalent to $4,720 and $4,592. Provisions are established or not according to the development of the legal proceedings and in the opinion of the attorneys on the classification of the contingency as likely, possible or remote (without the same being mandatory or binding). See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, letter V.

 

On December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were labor lawsuits filed against the Bank with claims approximately amounting to $13,419 and $16,820, which final result is imprecise due to the controvertible nature of the obligations, the provisions for the contingencies on those dates were $2,517 and $9,752, after the reclassification of the risks taking into account the progress of the proceedings and the partial results thereof.

 

The following are contingencies against in excess of $5,000 on December 31, 2013:

 

Proceedings  Current Amount   Provision   Contingency Classification
Class action by José Reinaldo Bolaños   88,500    -   Possible
Inversiones C.B.S.A.   40,806    -   Remote
Carlos Julio Aguilar and others   30,210    -   Possible
Suescún & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda   8,250    -   Remote
Ordinary proceedings by Gloria Amparo Zuluaga Arcila   5,784    -   Remote
Administrative Action by Interbolsa S.A, Sociedad Administradora de Inversión Interbolsa SAI, Sociedad Liquidadora de la Cartera Colectiva Escalonada “Interbolsa Credit” en Liquidación   Indeterminate    -   Remote

 

61
 

 

The main related proceedings are described below:

 

1.Class action by José Reinaldo Bolaños

 

The plaintiffs claim that several financial institutions – Bancolombia included – incurred in the collection of amounts not due by unlawfully capitalizing the interest that was accrued in the development of public debt restructuring agreements in charge of the municipality of Santiago de Cali, which were subscribed during the execution of Fiscal and Financial Consolidation Law. The plaintiffs affirm that the actions of the financial entities violated, in addition to the laws related to the collection of interest, the collective rights to administrative morality and the protection of the municipality’s public funds. The basic claim of the class action is to obtain a legal order such that the entities return the overcharged amounts, which, in the case of Bancolombia, are equivalent to $88,500. The process was in the evidentiary stage on December 31, 2013.

 

2.Inversiones C.B. S.A.

 

In 1997, Conavi, currently Bancolombia, granted Inversiones C.B. S.A. a loan equivalent to $6,000 for the construction of a real estate project, conditioning the periodic disbursements thereof to the progress of the project, among other requirements. Due to the paralysis of the works and the construction company’s default, Conavi, currently Bancolombia, suspended the disbursements, which in the plaintiff’s opinion constitutes a breach that caused damages. The plaintiffs intend for Bancolombia to be sentenced to pay Inversiones C.B. S.A. concepts such as loss-of-profit and returns, the cost of opportunity of the capital, the value of the liabilities of the real estate project and monetary correction. The contingency is deemed as remote, given that the Bank made the disbursements according to the agreement, the victim was responsible for errors in the use of the funds and the existence of extraneous causes such as the economic unfeasibility of the project and the crisis of the construction sector causing the failure of the project. A first instance ruling favorable for the Bank was issued in August 2010, which was appealed by the plaintiff. On December 31, 2013, a second instance ruling is pending on the proceedings.

 

3.Carlos Julio Aguilar and others

 

This is a class action in which the Plaintiff believes that the collective rights of public morality and the net worth of the Department of Valle were violated with the restructuring of the financial obligations of the Department and the performance plan subscribed thereby. On December 31, 2013, the proceedings continue to be suspended and are awaiting the submission of the expert report related to the charging of interest from the department of Valle by the banks involved as defendants.

 

4.Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda. and José Vicente Katarain Velez.

 

The proceedings related to Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda. and José Vicente Katarain, initiated against Conavi, currently Bancolombia, were reported in June 2013. Even though there had been first and second instance rulings issued in favor of the Bank, the plaintiff filed an appeal for cassation, which was ruled against the plaintiff by the Supreme Court of Justice and effectively terminated the proceedings. The foregoing is the reason why these proceedings were removed from the contingencies in November 2013.

 

5.Suescún & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda.

 

Law firm Suescún & De Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda., the attorneys-in-fact of Bancolombia before an arbitration court, filed a lawsuit against the Bank claiming that the settlement agreement reached between Bancolombia and the counterparty was sufficient grounds to justify the payment of the success commission agreed upon in the corresponding fee agreement according to the plaintiff. A first instance ruling was issued on October 25, 2013, in favor of the Bank, which was appealed and was pending a second instance ruling on December 31, 2013.

 

62
 

 

6.Gloria Amparo Zuluaga

 

The plaintiff intends to obtain the declaration of damages caused by Bancolombia as a consequence of the debits from the plaintiff’s checking accounts in 1995 and 1996. This process is related to the criminal events affecting the Unicentro Office of the former BIC. On December 31, 2013, the process was pending a second instance ruling.

 

7.Interbolsa S.A., Sociedad Administradora de Interbolsa SAI, Sociedad Liquidadora de la Cartera Colectiva Escalonada “Interbolsa Credit” en liquidación against Bancolombia S.A e Interbolsa S.A. en liquidación judicial.

 

The plaintiff intends to secure the revocation of the payment received by Bancolombia for $71,503, which applied to the cancellation of an obligation of Interbolsa S.A., and for said amount to be returned to Interbolsa S.A.’s net worth, which is currently undergoing judicial liquidation proceedings.

 

The proceedings, which were filed before the Superintendence of Companies of Colombia, are currently in the stage of notifying the exceptions proposed by Bancolombia.

Fabio Hernando González(1)   1,030    1,031   Remote

 

(1)These correspond to Civil Liability proceedings for traffic accidents, where the experience and legal merits of our defense prove that the possibility of an unfavorable sentence is Remote; therefore, the likelihood of these contingencies is low.

 

(2)These proceedings correspond to an ordinary contractual civil liability process for the Company’s alleged breach in failing to transfer the ownership of certain vehicles, which is currently in the evidentiary phase.

 

The amount of these proceedings may be high by virtue of the moral damages attributed to this kind of accidents due to the death of people therein, or due to the amount of victims that may be involved.

 

The process classified as “Possible” is classified as such to the extent that it might have possible risks due to the procedural status and the normal variables of the process, despite the defense’s appropriate support.

 

None of these processes have been provisioned to date, given that none of the contingencies has been classified as likely according to the assessments of our attorneys.

Statutory Auditor’s Report

 

February 10, 2014

 

To Bancolombia S.A.’s stockholders:

 

I have audited the consolidated balance sheets for Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries for the years ended in December 31 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and the summary of the significant accounting practices set forth in Note 2, and other explanatory notes. I have not audited the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 of the subsidiary Banistmo S.A., in which Bancolombia S.A. holds an equity interest of 98,12%, and that reflect, total assets that amount to $15,4 billion, equity for $1.3 billion and net profits for $2,257 million. Such financial statements were audited by another public accountant, whose report has been delivered to me and, my opinion, with respect to the amounts included for the Bank and its subsidiaries, is based solely in the report furnished by the other public accountants.

 

Bancolombia’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia for consolidated financial statements of entities under the supervision of the Colombian Superintendence of Finance. Such responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining the relevant internal controls for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, so they are free from material misstatements whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying the appropriate accounting policies, as well as making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

 

My responsibility is to express an opinion on such consolidated financial statements based on my audits. I obtained the necessary information to comply with my statutory audit functions and I conducted my audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia. These standards require that statutory auditor comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of the financial statements involves, amongst others, performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant of the Bank’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Bank’s management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I obtained, and the report from other public accountants provides a reasonable basis for the opinion I express below.

 

In my opinion, based on my audits and in the report from other public accountants referred to in the first paragraph of this report, the aforementioned financial statements audited by me, that were faithfully taken from the consolidated records, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related results of its operations, the changes in its stockholders’ equity and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia for entities supervised by the Colombian Superintendence of Finance, which were applied on a basis consistent with the previous period.
