1.ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Grupo Supervielle S.A. (hereinafter, “the Group”), is a company whose main activity is the investment in other companies. Its main income is given by the distribution of dividends of such companies and the raising of earnings of other financial assets.

 

Grupo Supervielle S.A.´s Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been consolidated, line by line with the Financial Statements of Banco Supervielle S.A., Cordial Compañía Financiera S.A., Sofital S.A. F. e I.I., Tarjeta Automática S.A., Supervielle Asset Management S.A., Espacio Cordial de Servicios S.A. and Supervielle Seguros S.A.

 

The main investment of the Company accounts for the stake in Banco Supervielle S.A., a financial entity governed pursuant to Law N° 21,526 of Financial Statements and subject to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank, in virtue of which the entity has adopted valuation and disclosure guidelines (see Note 1.1) pursuant to provisions included in Title IV, chapter I, Section I, article 2 of the Amended Text 2013 issued by the National Securities Commissions.

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was passed by the Board of the Company over the course of its meeting held on May 21, 2018.

 

1.1.Adoption of IFRS

 

The Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (B.C.R.A.), through Communications “A” 5541 and amendments, has established the convergence plan towards the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee for the entities under its supervision, except the application of section 5.5 (impairment) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, for the fiscal years as from January 1, 2018. Moreover, such entities shall prepare their opening Financial Statements as of January 1, 2017, which will be deemed the comparative basis of the fiscal year to begin on January 1, 2018. The first interim Financial Statements to be reported under these standards are those as of March 31, 2018.

 

The Argentine Central Bank also published Communication “A” 6430 dated January 12, 2018, by which it is established that Financial Entities shall begin to apply the provisions regarding Impairment of Financial Assets contained in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 for the fiscal years as of January 1, 2020. Such model of impairment of financial assets sets forth a scheme of three stages based on the change of the credit quality of the financial assets from its in initial recognition. The assets move through the three stages depending on the changes on credit risk and the stages dictate how an entity measures losses due to deterioration and applies the effective interest method.

 

Stage 1 includes financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in the credit risk since its initial recognition, or that have a low credit risk at the reporting date. For these instruments, expected credit losses (ECL) are recognized for 12 months and interest income is calculated based on the gross book value of the asset (that is, with no deduction of the impairment allowance). The 12-month ECL result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.

 

Stage 2 includes the financial instruments that have had a significant increase in the credit risk since its initial recognition (unless they have a low risk since its reporting date) but that do not show objective evidence of impairment. For these items, lifetime expected credit losses are recognized, but interest income is still calculated on the gross book value of the asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the present value of losses that would arise as a result of a default that occurred at any moment of the entire life of the instrument. It is the weighted average of losses that would occur in case of default, using the risk of default as the weights.

 

Stage 3 includes financial assets with objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. For these items, lifetime expected credit losses are recognized and interest income is calculated on the net book value (that is, net value of the impairment allowance).

The comparative figures and the ones from the transition date (January 1, 2017) have been modified in order to reflect the adjustments with the previous accounting framework.

 

In note 2.4 there is a reconciliation between the figures of the statements of financial position, comprehensive income statement and other comprehensive income statements included in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements issued in accordance with the previous Accounting Framework and the figures reported in accordance with the Accounting Framework established by the Argentine Central Bank in these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements, as of the transition date (January 1, 2017), the adoption date (December 31, 2017) and the closing date (March 31, 2017).

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read together with the annual Financial Statements of the Bank as of December 31, 2017, which have been prepared according to the previous accounting framework. Additionally, Note 17, included in these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements, presents information under IFRS as of December 31, 2017 that is necessary for the understanding of these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Group’s senior management has concluded that the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reasonably represent the financial position, financial income and cash flow.

 

1.2.Basis of preparation

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared according to the Accounting Framework established by the Argentine Central Bank described in Note 1.1.

 

The preparation of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires estimates and evaluations that affect the amount of registered assets and liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed as of the issuing date of these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements, as well as registered income and expenses.

 

The Group makes estimates in order to calculate, among others, loan loss allowances, lifespan of property, plant and equipment, depreciations and amortizations, recoverable value of assets, income tax charge, other charges and labor liabilities and allowances for contingencies, labor, civil and commercial lawsuits. The future real results may differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the preparation date of these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The areas that involve a greater degree of judgment or complexity or areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are described in Note 3.

 

(a)       Going concern

 

As of the date of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements there are no uncertainties with respect to events or conditions that may raise doubts regarding the possibility that the Group continues to operate normally as a going concern.

 

(b)       Unit of measure

 

The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Entity are expressed in Argentine pesos which is the functional currency of the Bank and its controlling Grupo Supervielle.

 

IFRS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that Financial Statements of any entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy must be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach. To this effect, generally, non-monetary items must include the inflation produced as from the date of acquisition or the date of revaluation as applicable. For the purposes of concluding on the existence of a hyperinflationary economy, the standard specifies a series of factors to take into account, which include a cumulative inflation rate over three years that approaches or exceeds 100%.

At the closing date of the reporting period there was an evaluation that concluded that the characteristics to determine a context of inflation defined by the IFRS, which would lead to rate this economy as highly inflationary, are not present. Furthermore, there is a downward trend in government expectations regarding the level of inflation. Consequently, these Financial Statements have not been restated in constant currency.

 

However, in the last years certain macroeconomics variables have suffered relevant fluctuations, which must be considered in the assessment and interpretation of the balance sheet and the results included in these Financial Statements.

 

(c)       Changes in accounting policies/new accounting standards

 

The new published standards, modifications and interpretations are listed below, which still have not entered into force for fiscal years starting as of January 1, 2018, and have not been adopted in advance.

 

IFRS 16 “Leases”: In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases” which sets forth the new model of registration of leasing operations. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. IFRS 16 requires that the lessee recognize the lease liability which reflects future payments of leases, except for certain short-term lease agreements and leases of low-value assets. The lessors accounting is kept as provided in IFRS 17; however, it is expected that the new accounting model for lessees have an impact on the negotiations between lessors and lessees. This standard is effective for annual periods starting on or from January 1, 2019. The Entity is evaluating the accounting impact that the application of said standard will cause.

 

IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”: In January 18, 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” which provides a comprehensive framework based on principles for measurement and presentation of all insurance contracts. The new rule will supersede IFRS 4 Insurance contracts and requires that insurance contracts be measured using cash flows of existing enforcement and that income be recognized as the service is rendered during the coverage period. The standard will come into force for the fiscal years beginning as from November 1, 2021. The Entity is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

 

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”: Such interpretation clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income tax are applied when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. This standard was published in June 2017 and will come into force for the fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2019.

 

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations not yet effective and which are expected to have a significant impact on the Group.

 

1.3.Consolidation

 

A subsidiary is an entity (or subsidiary), including structured entities, in which the Bank has control because it (i) has the power to manage relevant activities of the subsidiary, which significantly affect its yield, (ii) has exposition, or rights, to variable yields for its participation in the subsidiary, and (iii) has the ability to use its power over the subsidiary in order to affect the investor’s yield amount. The existence and the effect of the substantive rights, including substantive rights of potential vote, are considered when evaluating whether the bank has power over the other entity. For a right to be substantive, the right holder must have the practical competence to exercise such right whenever it is necessary to make decisions on the direction of the entity’s relevant activities. The Bank can have control over an entity, even when it has less voting powers than those required for the majority.

 

Accordingly, the protecting rights of other investors, as well as those related to substantive changes in the subsidiary´ activities or applicable only in unusual circumstances, do not prevent the Bank from having power over a subsidiary. The subsidiaries are consolidated as from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank, ceasing its consolidation as from the date on which control ceases.

Financial Statements of Supervielle Seguros S.A: have been prepared pursuant to accounting standards issued by the National Insurance Superintendence, which differ on closing date of the fiscal year, that is, June 30 of each year and in certain adjustments of the accounting framework issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

Financial Statements of Tarjeta Automática S.A., Supervielle Asset Management S.A., Supervielle Seguros S.A, Sofital S.A. F. e I.I. and Espacio Cordial de Servicios S.A., have been adjusted so that such Financial Statements include criteria similar to those applied by the Group in the preparation of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Assets and liabilities and income from operations among members of the Group that were not transferred to third parties have been removed from the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Non-controlling investment accounts for that portion of net income and shareholders´ equity of a subsidiary attributable to interest which is not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Group. Non-controlling investments are included in a separate item of the shareholders´ equity of the Group.

 

Pursuant to IFRS 3, the acquisition method shall be utilized to record the acquisition of a subsidiary. Identifiable acquired assets and contingent assets and liabilities assumed in a combination of businesses are valuated at fair value on the acquisition date.

 

The goodwill is valuated as the difference between the net amounts as of acquisition date of identifiable assets, assumed liabilities, transferred earning, the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and the fair value of the interest in the acquired entity prior to the acquisition date.

 

The transferred earning in a combination of businesses is valuated at fair value of assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the company with previous owners and interest in the shareholders´ equity issued by the acquirer. Transaction costs are recognized as expenses in periods in which expenses were incurred and services rendered, except from transaction costs incurred for the issuance of equity instruments which are deducted from shareholders´ equity and transaction costs incurred for the issuance of debt which is deducted at book value.

1.9.Financial Instruments

 

Initial Recognition

 

El The Bank recognizes financial assets or liabilities in its Interim Condensed Financial Statements, as applicable, when it is established in the contract clauses of the financial instrument in question. Purchases and sales of financial instruments that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by market regulations or conditions are recognized at the trade date of the transaction by which the Group undertakes to the purchase or sale of the asset. In the initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets or liabilities at their fair value. Instruments that are not recognized at fair value through profit or loss are recorded at the fair value adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributed to its acquisition or issuance, such as fees and commissions.

 

When fair value differs from the cost of the initial recognition, the Group will recognize the difference as follows:

 

  - When fair value is consistent with the market value of the financial asset or liability or is based on a valuation technique that only uses market values, the difference will be recognized as profit or loss, as applicable.

 

  - In other situations, the difference is deferred and recognition at the time of the profit or loss is determined individually. The difference is amortized through the life of the instrument until fair value can be measured on market values.

Financial Assets

 

a – Debt Instruments

 

The Group consider debt instruments as those regarded as financial liabilities for the issuer, such as loans, public and private securities, debt securities and accounts receivable from clients under agreements with no resources.

 

Classification

 

Pursuant to IFRS 9, the Entity classifies financial assets depending on whether these are subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss, on the basis of:

 

a)the Group’s business model for managing financial assets, and;

 

b)the contractual cash-flows characteristics of the financial asset

 

Business Model

 

The business model refers to the way in which the Group manages a group of financial assets in order to achieve a concrete business objective. It represents the form in which instruments are held for generating funds.

 

Business models the Group may adopt are the following:

 

-to hold instruments until maturity;

-to hold instruments in portfolio for cash flow collection and, in turn, sell them in case it is convenient; or

-to hold instruments for trading.

 

The business model of the Group does not depend on the management’s intentions for an individual instrument. Consequently, such business model is not assessed instrument by instrument, but at a higher aggregated level.

 

The Group reclassifies an instrument only when the business model for the administration of assets is modified.

 

Cash Flow Characteristics

 

The Group evaluates the contractual terms of its financial instruments to identify if the cash flow return of these grouped financial assets is not significantly different from the contribution that it would receive only from interests, otherwise these shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Based on the aforementioned, there are three different categories of Financial Assets:

 

i)       Financial assets at amortize cost.

 

Financial assets shall be measured at amortized cost if

 

(a)the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

 

(b)the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

These financial instruments shall be measured at its fair value plus incremental, directly attributable, transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost.

 

A financial asset’s amortized cost is the amount at which it is acquired minus the cumulative amortization plus accrued interests (using the effective interest method), net of any impairment loss.

 

ii)     Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

 

 

 

17

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A.

 

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2018 presented in comparative format

(Expressed in thousands of pesos)

 

Financial assets shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income when:

 

(a)the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

 

(b)the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

These instruments shall be initially recognized at fair value plus incremental, directly attributable, transaction costs, and subsequently measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising out of changes in fair value shall be included in other comprehensive income within a separate component of equity. Impairment losses or reversal, interest revenue and foreign exchange rate gains and losses shall be recognized in profit or loss.

 

iii)    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise:

 

-Instruments held for trading

-Instruments specifically designated at fair value through profit or loss

-Instruments with contractual terms that do not represent contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

 

These financial instruments shall be initially recognized at fair value and any gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss upon effectiveness.

 

The Group classifies a financial instrument as held for trading if it is acquired or incurred with an intention to sell or repurchase them in the short term, or it is part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent pattern of short-term profit-taking or it is a derivative which is not embedded in a qualifying hedging relationship. Derivatives and instruments held for trading shall be classified as held for trading and are recognized at fair value.

 

b – Equity Instruments

 

Equity instruments are those recognized as such by the issuer, that is, instruments that do not imply any payable contractual obligation and that record a residual interest over the asset of the issuer after deducting its total liabilities.

 

Such instruments are valued at fair value through profit and loss, except in those cases in which the senior management has utilized, upon initial recognition, the irrevocable option of measuring such instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. This method is applicable when instruments are not held to negotiate and results are recorded in OCI with no reclassification option, even when effective. Receivable dividends that result from such instrument would be recognized only under the right to receive such payment.

 

Write-off of Financial Assets

 

The Group recognizes the write-off of financial assets only when any of the following conditions is met:

 

1.The rights on the financial asset cash flows have expired; or

 

2.The financial asset is transferred pursuant to the requirements in 3.2.4 of IFRS 9.

 

The Group derecognizes financial assets that have been transferred only when the following characteristics are met:

 

1.The contractual rights on receiving fund flows from future funds have been transferred

(Expressed in thousands of pesos)

 

2.The Entity holds the contractual rights to receive fund flows but assumes a re-purchasing obligation when the following requirements are met:

 

a.The Group is not obliged to pay any amount before receiving the cash flow for the asset transfer;

 

b.The Group is banned from selling the financial asset;

 

c.The Group has to refer the fund flows to which it has committed

 

Financial Liabilities

 

Classification

 

The Group classifies its financial liabilities at amortized cost utilizing the effective rate method except for:

 

-Financial liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss

-Liabilities that arise from financial assets transfers

-Financial guarantee contracts

-Agreements on granting loans below market rates

 

Financial Liabilities valued at fair value through profit or loss: The Group can choose to use, at the beginning, the irrevocable option to designate a liability at fair value through profit or loss if and only if by doing so, it reflects more appropriately the financial information because:

 

-The Group removes or reduces significantly the inconsistencies of measurements or recognition which, otherwise, would be presented in the valuation;

-Whether the assets and financial liabilities are managed and their performances evaluated on a fair value basis pursuant to an investment strategy or a documented risk management; or

-A principal contract has one or more embedded derivatives.

 

Financial guarantee contract: A guarantee contract is a contract which requires the issuer to make specific payments to reimburse the holder for the loss incurred when a specific debtor default on his debt as they fall due, according to the conditions, either original or amended, of a debt instrument.

 

Financial guarantee contracts and agreements on granting loans below market rate are valued at fair value, in the first instance; so later, a comparison between the higher value of the commission to be accrued at the fiscal year closing and the applicable allowance.

 

Write-off of financial liabilities

 

The Entity derecognizes financial liabilities only when they have expired; this is, when they have been settled, paid or the contract expired.

 

1.10          Derivatives

 

Derivatives, including currency contracts, interest rate futures, term contracts, interest rate and currency swaps, and options over currency and interest rates are registered at their fair value.

 

All derivative instruments are recorded as assets when their fair value is positive, and as liabilities when their fair value is negative, related to the agreed price. Any change in the fair value of derivative instruments is included in the fiscal year income.

 

1.11          Repo Operations

 

The sale and repurchase agreements (“repo liability operations”), which effectively provide the lender’s return to the counterparty, are treated as guaranteed financing transactions. Securities sold under those sale and repurchase agreements are not withdrawn from accounts. The securities are not reclassified in the statement of financial position unless the assignee has the right by contract or sale to sell or replace them.

The securities purchased pursuant to the resale agreements (“repo asset transactions”), which effectively provide the lender’s return to the Entity, are registered as debts within Financings received from Argentine Central Bank and other Financial Institutions item.

 

The difference between the sale price and the repurchase price or the purchase price and the resale price, adjusted by interest and dividends received by the counterparty or by the Group, as appropriate, constitute the premium of the operation. Such premium is treated as interest income or expenses, which are accrued during the effectiveness of the agreements.

 

Securities lent to counterparties as fixed commission is held in the condensed consolidated Financial Statements in their original category unless one of the parties holds the contract or customary right to sell or replace securities: In such cases, such securities are reclassified and presented individually. Securities borrowed as fixed commission are not recorded in the condensed consolidated Financial Statements, unless sold to third parties. In, such cases, the purchase or sale are recorded as the year income within earnings minus losses resulting from negotiable securities. The obligation to return securities is recorded at fair value in other funds delivered as loans.

 

1.12.         Uncolletibility risk provisions

 

As regards uncollectibility risk provisions, the standards on “Minimum uncollectibility risk provisions” in Section 8 of LISOL (by its Spanish acronym) are still effective and described as follows:

 

Over the total of clients’ debt, the following minimum uncollectibility guidelines must be applied:

 

Commercial Portfolio Loan portfolio or similar to loan With preferred guarantees Without preferred guarantees
Normal situation Normal situation 1% 1%
Under observation Low risk 3% 5%
Under bargaining process or with refinancing agreements

N/A

6% 12%
With problems Medium risk 12% 25%
High risk of insolvency High risk 25% 50%
Irrecoverable Irrecoverable 50% 100%
Irrecoverable under technical ruling Irrecoverable under technical ruling 100% 100%

 

In turn, the situation assigned to each debtor of the commercial and consumer portfolio is defined in accordance with the client´s repayment capacity and, only at a second stage, in accordance with the liquidation of assets; whereas, as for consumer portfolio, the situation assigned for each debtor is defined in accordance with delinquency days recorded by each debtor.

 

The Group has chosen to interrupt the accrual of interest of those clients who report delays longer than 90 days instead of setting aside allowances for their 100%.

 

1.13          Financial Lease / Leasing

 

Financial leases

 

They have been registered at the current value of unearned amounts, calculated according to agreed conditions in their respective contracts, depending on the interest rate embedded in them.

 

Initial measurement

 

The Group utilizes the interest rate embedded in the lease to measure the net investment, which is defined in such a way that the income initial direct costs are automatically included in the net investment of the lease.

The initial direct costs, which are different from those incurred by the manufacturer or retailers, are included in the initial measurement of the lease net investment and decrease the amount of income recognized during the lease term. The interest rate embedded in the lease is defined in such a way that the initial direct costs are included automatically into the lease net investment; there is no need to add them separately.

 

The difference between the receivable gross amount and the current value is represented in the financial income that is recognized during the lease term. The lease financial income is booked within the fiscal year income.

 

The Bank utilizes the criteria described in Note 1.12 to determine whether there is objective evidence that there was an impairment loss as regards loans at amortized cost.

 

1.14          Property, plant and equipment

 

Valued at acquisition or construction cost, net of accrued depreciations and/or accrued devaluation losses, if any; except from real state, in virtue of which, the Group adopted the revaluation method. The cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition or building of these items.

 

The subsequent costs are included in the active value or are recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, if and only if it is probable that they generate future economic benefits for the Group, and their costs can be fairly measured. The book value of the asset that is being replaced is withdrawn, thus the new asset is amortized by the number of years of useful life left at the moment of the improve.

 

The maintenance and reparations expenses are recognized in the consolidated income statement of the fiscal year in which they are incurred.

 

The depreciation is calculated utilizing the straight-line method, applying annual rates sufficient to extinguish the values of assets at the end of their estimated useful life. In those cases in which an asset includes significant components with different useful lives, such components are recognized and depreciated as separate items.

 

The following chart presents the useful life for each of the items forming part of the item property, plant and equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment Estimated useful life
Buildings 50 Years
Furniture and plant 10 Years
Machines and equipment 5 Years
Vehicles 5 Years
Others 5 Years

 

The residual value of the property, plant and equipment, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if necessary, at each fiscal year closing or when there are devaluation signs.

 

The book value of the property, plant and equipment is immediately reduced at its recoverable amount when the book amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount.

 

In the case of real state, the highest revaluation value includes other comprehensive income, within the consolidated comprehensive income statement. If the revaluation is lower than the net historical cost of accrued depreciations, the resulting loss is included in the net result of the period/year.

 

The property, plant and equipment income is calculated comparing the obtained income with the book value of the respective good. The return or loss arising therefrom is registered in the consolidated comprehensive income statement.

 

1.15          Investment property

 

Measurement basis utilized

 

The investment property is composed of real property (lots and building or part of a building or both) held for obtaining a rent or for capital appreciation or both, but is never occupied by the Entity.

Investment property is booked at its fair value, and any changes in it are directly represented in the period income. Investment property is never depreciated. The fair value is based on appraisals made by independent appraisers.

 

Figures included in the period income for Investment Property. NIC 40 (75) (f)

 

  03/31/2018 03/31/2017
Income from rents (collected rents) 3,045 9,567
Direct real-state expenses that produced income from rents 477  1,531
Result from fair value  13,619 (14,230)

 

The book value of investment property is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount when the book amount is higher than the estimated recoverable amount.

 

Earnings and losses from the sale of investment property are calculated comparing the obtained income with the book value of the respective good. The return or loss arising therefrom is registered in the consolidated comprehensive income statement

 

1.16          Intangible Assets

 

(a)Goodwill

 

The Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures account for the excess between:

 

(i)the acquisition cost, measured as the addition of the transferred amount, valued at fair value as of acquisition date plus the amount of non-controlling interest; and

 

(ii)the fair value of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired item .

 

Goodwill is included in the intangible assets item in the consolidated financial statement.

 

Goodwill is not amortized. The Group evaluates, on an annual basis, or upon devaluation signs, the goodwill recoverability based on future flows of funds discounted plus additional information as of the preparation of the consolidated Financial Statements. Devaluation losses are not reverted once recorded. Earnings and losses from the sale of an entity include the goodwill balance related to the sold entity.

 

Goodwill is assigned to cash-generating units so as to run recoverability tests. The assignment is carried out among those cash-generating units (or groups of units), which are identified in accordance to the operating segment criterion and benefit from the combination of businesses from which such goodwill stemmed.

 

As for goodwill resulting from the combination of previous businesses as of IFRS transition date, the Group has chosen option IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of IFRS”, regarding the non- retroactive application of IFRS 3 “Business Combination”

 

(b)Software

 

Costs related to software maintenance are recognized as expenses when incurred. Development, acquisition or implementation costs which are directly attributable to identifiable and single software design and tests controlled by the Group are recognized as assets.

 

Development, acquisition or implementation costs recognized initially as period expenses, are not recognized as intangible asset cost. Costs incurred in the development, acquisition or implementation of software, recognized as intangible assets are amortized through the application of straight-line method doting their estimated useful lives, over a term not exceeding five years.

1.17          Devaluation of non-financial assets

 

Assets with an unidentified useful life are not subject to amortizations but are subject to annual devaluation tests. Unlike the previous paragraph, those assets eligible for amortization are subject to devaluation tests upon events or facts that show that book value may not be recovered at least annually.

 

Devaluation losses are recognized when the goodwill is higher than its recoverable value. The recoverable value of assets is the highest amount between the net amount that would have been raised from the sale or its value under use. In virtue of devaluation tests, assets are gathered at the lower level in which they generate identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). The book value of non-financial assets unlike those goodwill value over which such devaluation was recorded, is revised at each reporting date with the purpose of checking on potential devaluation reversals.

 

1.18          Trust Assets

 

Assets held by the Group in its Trustee role, are not included in the consolidate Financial Statements. Commissions received from trust activities are included in Income from Commissions.

 

1.19         Compensation

 

Financial assets and liabilities are set off through the inclusion of the net amount in the consolidated financial statement only upon the existence of both a legally eligible right to compensate recognized amounts and the intention to liquidate in net terms or make the assets effective and liquidate the responsibility simultaneously.

 

1.20          Financing received from the Argentine Central Bank and other Financial Institutions

 

Debts with other financial entities are recorded when the capital is paid in advance to the economic group by the banking entity. Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. If the group repurchases its own debt, such debt will be removed from the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the difference between the residual value of the financial liabilities and the amount paid is recognized as financial income or expenses.

 

1.21          Provisions / Contingencies

 

Pursuant to Accounting Standards adopted by the Argentine Central Bank, an Entity shall hold provisions in the following cases:

 

a-It holds a current obligation (legal or implicit) as a result of past event;

b-The Entity is likely to get rid of resources that provide future economic benefits with the purpose of serving an obligation; and

c-A reliable forecast of the obligation amount is made available.

 

An Entity will be considered to hold an implicit obligation if (a) as a result of previous economic or public policies practices, the group has taken over certain responsibilities and (b) therefore, expectations regarding the compliance of such obligations have been produced.

 

The Group recognizes the following provisions:

 

For labor, civil and commercial lawsuits: provisions are defined based on both reports provided by lawyers regarding any lawsuit status and the forecast resulting from potential losses to be afforded by the Group, and past experience on this type of claims.

 

For miscellaneous risks: provisions are aimed at affording contingent situations that may result in obligations for the Group. The calculation of amounts includes the effectiveness likelihood based on the opinion provided by legal advisors and other professionals of the Group.

 

Provisions are measured at current value of disbursements expected to be required for the settlement of an obligation through the utilization of an interest rate before taxes that account for current market conditions over the money value and specific risks for such obligation. Provision increases resulting from time elapsing is recognized in other net financial Income items of the consolidated income statement.

The Group does not record positive contingencies, except from deferred tax positive contingencies and those contingencies of virtually secure effectiveness.

 

As of the issuance of these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements, the Group´s Board considers that there have been no elements that show the existence of other contingencies that may become effective and produce a negative impact on these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements other than those defined in Note 12.

 

1.22         Other non-financial liabilities

 

Non-financial payable accounts are accrued once the counterparty has served its obligations pursuant to the contract and are valued at amortized cost.

 

1.23          Negotiable Obligations Issued

 

Subordinated and Unsubordinated Negotiable Obligation

 

Negotiable Obligations issued by the Group are measured at Amortized Cost. If the Group purchases own negotiable obligations, such obligations are removed from the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the difference between the residual value of the financial liabilities and the relevant payment is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as income from advance settlement of a debt.

 

1.24          Capital Stock and Capital Adjustments

 

Accounts included in this item are expressed in the currency that has not considered changes in price indexes as from February 2003, except from the item “Capital Stock”, which has been held at nominal value.

 

Ordinary shares are classified in the shareholders´ equity and are held at nominal value. When any subsidiary of the Group purchases shares of the Bank (own shares in portfolio), the effective payment, including any other cost directly attributable to the transaction (net of tax), is deducted from the shareholders´ equity until such shares are settled or sold

 

1.25          Reserves and Distribution of Dividends

 

Pursuant to provisions set by the Argentine Central Bank, the 20% of net earnings of the fiscal year of relevant adjustments for previous fiscal years must be applied to legal reserve, when applicable. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, for distribution of earnings and pursuant to Amended Text on Distribution of Income issued by the Argentine Central Bank (last amendment of Communication “A” 6464 issued on March 9, 2013), Financial Entities shall be previously authorized by the Superintendence of Financial and Exchange Entities, and shall meet all requirements set out in Note 21.

 

1.26          Recognition of Income

 

Financial income and expenses are recorded for any debt instrument in accordance with the effective rate method; for which ends, all positive and negative results included as an integral part of the effective rate of the operation are expressed individually.

 

Results included in the effective rate include expenses and income related to the setting-up or acquisition of financial assets or liabilities, such as compensations received from the assessment of the client´s financial condition, negotiation of the terms of an instrument, the preparation and processing of necessary documents for the effectiveness of the transaction and compensations received from the granting of loans to be utilized by the client. The Group records its non-derivative financial liabilities at amortized cost.

 

It is worth to be mentioned that the commissions the Group receives from syndicated loans are not part of the effective rate of the product. Therefore, such commissions are recognized in the Income Statement upon effectiveness of the service, as long as the group does not withhold part of it or such commissions are held under the same conditions as other participants. Furthermore, commissions received by the Group from negotiations in third parties´ transactions are not part of the effective rate. Therefore, such commissions are recognized upon such negotiations effectiveness.

The Group´s Service Income is recognized in the Income Statement in accordance with the compliance of performance obligation, hence the difference from those income related to client loyalty plans, which are provisioned at fair value and at redemption rate until such amount of exchanged by the client and recognized in the income statement of the period.

 

Income from real state rent is recognized in the consolidated comprehensive income statement in accordance with the straight-line method during the lease term.

 

1.27          Income tax and presumed minimum earning

 

Income Tax

 

Income tax of the fiscal year includes both the current and deferred tax. The tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except from cases that entail items that must be recognized directly in other comprehensive income. In such case, the income tax related to such items is also recognized in such statement.

 

The current income tax is calculated pursuant to tax law passed or substantially passed as of the financial statement date in countries where the Group operates and generates taxable earnings. On a regular basis, the Group evaluates the position assumed in affidavits regarding situations in which tax laws are under interpretation. In turn, when applicable, the Group sets provisions on amounts payable to tax authorities.

 

The deferred income tax is defined as a whole through the liabilities method over temporary differences resulting from assets and liabilities tax basis and any relevant accounting values. However, the deferred tax resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that does not apply to business combination and that, at the moment of the transaction, does not accounting or taxable earnings or losses, is not recorded. The deferred tax is defined through the utilization of tax rates (and legislation) which were passed at the general balance sheet date and are expected to be applicable when assets from deferred tax is made effective or liabilities from deferred tax are settled.

 

Assets from deferred tax are only recognized upon future tax benefits against which temporary differences can be utilized.

 

Deferred income tax balances of assets and liabilities are set off upon the existence of a legal right to set off current assets taxes with current liabilities taxes provided such balances are related with the same tax authority of the Group or the different subsidiaries where there is intention or likelihood to liquidate tax balances over clear basis.

 

2.   TRANSITION TOWARDS IFRS

 

2.1 Requirements of transitions towards IFRS

1.             IFRS optative exemptions

 

The following are optative exemptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1:

 

1.1.   Exemption of business combinations

 

IFRS 1 presents the option of applying IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” prospectively from the date of transition or from a specific date prior to the date of transition. This allows non-retroactive application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively to business combinations occurring after the date of transition. Business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date have not been restated.

 

1.2.   Exemption of investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates

 

When an entity prepares separate Financial Statements, IAS 27 requires it to account for its investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates either: (a) at cost; (b) in accordance with IFRS 9; or (c) using the equity method as described in IAS 28. If a first-time adopter measures such an investment using the process of the participation method, the entity applying the exemption above mentioned.

 

1.3.   Exemption of designation of previously recognized financial instruments

 

According to IFRS 1, an entity can designate an equity investment as a financial measured at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with paragraph 5.7.5 of IFRS 9 on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition to IFRSs.

 

The Company has not made use of the other optional exemptions available in IFRS 1.

 

2.             IFRS mandatory exemptions

 

The following are obligatory exemptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1:

 

2.1.   Estimates exemption

 

The Company´s estimations in accordance with IFRSs at January 1, 2017 are consistent with estimations made with Argentine GAAP. Therefore, the company´s estimations were not review by application of IFRS, except if necessary to reflect any difference in accounting policies.

 

2.2.   Non-controlling interest exemption

 

According to IFRS 1 a first-time adopter shall apply the requirements of IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” prospectively for accounting the shareholders changes in a subsidiary without resulting a loss of control. The Company records non-controlling acquisitions that do not result in control changes at book value, recognizing any difference between received payments and book value in non-controlling interest will account in fiscal year results. The Company has not restated those acquisitions or dispositions prior to the date of transition.

 

2.3.   Exemption of withdrawals in financial assets and liabilities accounts

 

IFRS 1 requires that a first-time adopter apply the requirements for derecognition of financial assets and liabilities set by IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” prospectively, for the transactions after January 1, 2017.

 

2.4.   Exemption of classification and rating of financial assets

 

IFRS 1 requires that an entity shall assess whether a financial asset meets the conditions to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value with changes in other comprehensive results based on the facts and circumstances that exist at January 1, 2017

 

The other obligatory exemptions in IFRS 1 have not been applied because they are not material to the Company.

 

2.5.   Required reconciliations

 

The items and amounts included in the reconciliation are subject to changes and will be considered as final when preparing the Financial Statements as of December 31, 2018, for the fiscal year in which IFRSs are applied at first.

2.3.6. Explanation of adjustments

 

(a) Adjustment in the recognition of interest income through the effective rate method

 

Pursuant to IFRS, costs and income directly related to the granting of a loan are not directly expensed against income but are added to the loan rate and are accrued along the useful life of such loan. As a result of the application of this method, income from commissions and administration expenses have decreased and interest income has increased, recognized in the assets recorded in loans and other financings.

 

(b) Adjustment in the financing initial value at lower rates than market rates

 

The initial value of financing operations through credit cards and mortgage loans has been adjusted at lower rates than market rates, thus recognizing a loss at the beginning as a result of the application of the market rate that is later accrued as interest income along the useful life of the loan. The loss is expensed against other operating expenses and in employee benefits for mortgage loans. Earnings were recorded under interest income and the asset value was modified thus being recorded under loans and other financing.

 

(c) Valuation of investments at fair value

 

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank, the Entity valuated its investments in government bonds according to the most probable destination of the asset. Distributions in kind which appeared in lists of volatilities or present values issued by the Argentine Central Bank were valuated at their market value, while those distributions in kind which not appeared in the aforementioned lists were valuated at their incorporation value increasing exponentially depending on its internal return rate.

 

IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” establishes that an entity must classify its financial assets according to the business model the entity utilizes to manage the assets and the characteristics of contractual cash flows. Pursuant to the aforementioned, the Entity has classified its investment portfolio into portfolios for trading, which have been valuated at a fair value through profit or loss and which are maintained for investment, which have been valuated at a fair value through changes in other comprehensive income.

 

(d) Investments in subsidiaries and other equity instruments

 

Under IFRS, any and all investments in which the Bank has no control or significant influence must be measured at fair value. Under BCRA regulations, such investments are measured at cost value with a limit on the proportional equity value. The adjustment at fair value of the investment meant an increase with the counterparty in other comprehensive income by application of the exception in IFRS 1.

 

(e) Property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets

 

By application of IAS 16 and IAS 40, the Bank has adopted the revaluation model for its real property and the fair value method for its investment property. Under BCRA regulations, such assets were recorded at their historical value minus the accrued amortization.

 

The revaluation of affected real property as property, plant and equipment was imputed against other comprehensive income and increased the depreciation charge. As regards investment property, the revaluation increase was imputed to other operating income within the statement of income.

 

Under BCRA, other non-financial assets were recognized, as well as stationery expenses which do not comply with IFRS requirements to be recognized as assets. The recognition of such assets originated an increase in administrative expenses.

 

(f) Intangible assets

 

Pursuant to IFRS, an intangible asset is an identifiable, non-monetary asset without physical substance. In order for the intangible asset to be identified, the Bank must have control over it and the asset must generate future economic benefits.

 

Under Argentine Central Bank, intangible assets that do not comply with the IFRS requirements to be recognized as such have been recognized. The adjustment answers to the recognition of such assets and the reversal of the accumulated amortization that was imputed against earnings per depreciations and devaluation of assets.

(g) Granted Guarantees

 

Under IFRS, the financial guarantees granted must be recognized initially at their fair value, which equals to the commission charged in most of the cases. Such amount is later amortized at a straight line throughout the life of the contract. Upon each closing, the financial guarantees are measured by the higher between: (i) the value of the commission pending of accrual as of fiscal year closing and (ii) the best amount forecast to be paid to honor the contract discounted at its current value as of fiscal year closing.

 

Pursuant to standards issued by the Argentine Central Bank, commissions collected in financial guarantee agreements are imputed to results upon collection.

 

As a result of IFRS application, assets in loans and other financings were recognized and liabilities in other financial liabilities. The impact on results was a decrease in other operating income.

 

(h) Employee Benefits

 

Pursuant to IFRS, short-term benefits for employees such as vacations, salaries and social security contributions, are recognized as liabilities equivalent to the undiscounted amount the Bank expects to pay for such benefit. Likewise, long-term benefits such as seniority awards and pre-retirements, are recognized as liabilities equivalent to the amount discounted from the benefit the Bank expects to pay.

 

The recognition of these liabilities generated an increase in other non-financial liabilities and a negative result within employee benefits.

 

(i) Repo transactions

 

Reverse repos

 

Pursuant to IFRS, a repo reverse operation is recognized as financing granted with guarantee of securities. Pursuant to Regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank, the bond received as collateral with the counterparty is recorded in other obligations through financial intermediation for an agreed upon amount of the sale future reverse operation.

 

As a result, the financing that was previously recorded in other receivables through financial intermediation was reclassified to repo transactions item and assets of received securities by repo transactions were recognized, consequently, with the reversion of the obligation through financial intermediation.

 

(j) Income tax

 

Pursuant to IFRS, tax charges for the fiscal year includes current and deferred taxes. The current income tax is calculated pursuant to passed laws and substantially passed as of these Financial Statements. The deferred tax is recognized pursuant to the liabilities method, given the temporary differences that arise between tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts recorded in books in the consolidated Financial Statements. Pursuant to regulations issued by the Central Bank, the Bank recognizes the current tax for the fiscal year.

 

The Tax effect of the recognition of the deferred tax accounts for an increase in deferred tax assets, an adjustment in results in income tax and an adjustment in other comprehensive results for the tax pursuant to the results recorded therein.

 

(k) Goodwill

 

Pursuant to standards issued by the Argentine Central Bank, the recognized goodwill is amortized over a maximum 120-month term. Pursuant to IFRS, goodwill is not amortized, instead, it is calculated through annual depreciation. As a result, the value of intangible assets with their counterparty in other operating expenses has increased.

(l) Loyalty Programs

 

As part of the Bank’s loyalty programs, the Bank relies on a point reward program based on credit and debit card consumption. Such points can be redeemed by different products or tourism services. Such points can be redeemed over a specific term and after such term they expire and cannot be redeemed.

 

Pursuant to IFRS 15, the Bank fixes liabilities based on the fair value of granted points to be redeemed by clients. Points to be redeemed are calculated based on the last redemption behavior and other historical information of the card. Liabilities are reduced as points are redeemed by clients.

 

The adjustment to liabilities has increased other non-financial liabilities and has generated a negative result that was recorded as a decrease in interest income.

 

(m) Derecognition of Financial Assets

 

Pursuant to the previous accounting framework, the Entity records as recognition of assets the portfolios transfer for the constitution of financial trusts and the portfolios sales with resource for the transferor. Pursuant to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” it is necessary to analyze if the Entity has substantially transferred all the risks and rewards inherent to the property of the transferred asset. From the analysis performed it can be drawn that this is not fulfilled, therefore, the Entity will continue recognizing such transferred asset in its entirety and will recognize financial liabilities for the received consideration.

 

Therefore, the Company recognized assets for transferred portfolios included in loans and other receivables and liabilities for the received consideration included in financial liabilities and an adjustment of interest incomes, interest expenses and uncollectibility charges,

 

(n) Trust Debt Securities and (TDS) and Participation Certificated (PC) of financial trusts

 

Pursuant to IFRS 10, the Bank manages a trust when it has power over, is exposed to or has a right to the variable returns arising from its interest in such trust and has the capacity to affect those results through its power to run the relevant activities of the trust. Trusts have been consolidated as from the date the Bank acquired the control.

 

The Bank has evaluated the following:

 

- The object and design of the trust

- Spotting of main activities

- Decision-making processes regarding such activities

- Whether the Bank´s rights result in the capacity to run relevant activities of the trust

- Whether the Bank is exposed to, or has the right on, variable returns of its interest in such trust

- Whether the Bank has the capacity to utilize its power on the trust to affect such returns.

 

In accordance with the aforementioned, the Bank has decided that it holds control on such financial trusts and, therefore, such financial trusts have been consolidated

 

(o) Third parties’ interest in controlled companies

 

Pursuant to IFRS 10 on consolidated Financial Statements, the non-controlling interests will be reported in the consolidated financial statement, within shareholders’ equity, separately from the controlling interest’s equity. Under the previous accounting framework, this interest is reported in liabilities as non-related interest.

  

As a result, the entity has made the appropriate reclassification. Additionally, the financial trust property from which the Bank does not own participation certificates has been imputed in this line.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND FORECASTS

 

The preparation of Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the accounting framework set by the Argentine Central Bank requires the utilization of certain critical accounting forecasts. Likewise, such framework requires that the Senior Management takes decisions regarding the application of accounting standards set by the Argentine Central Bank and accounting policies of the Group.

 

The Group has identified the following areas that entail a higher judgment and complexity degree, or areas where assumptions and forecasts play a significant role for Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which play a key role in the understanding of underlying accounting/financial accounting reporting risks.

 

a-Fair value of derivatives and other instruments

 

The fair value of financial instruments that do not list in active markets are defined through the utilization of valuation techniques. Such techniques are validated and regularly reviewed by qualified independent personnel of the area that developed such techniques. All models are evaluated and adjusted before being utilized in order to make sure that results express current information and comparative market prices. As long as possible, models utilize only observable information; however, factors such as credit risk (own or counterparty), volatilities and correlations require the utilization of estimates. Changes in assumptions regarding such factors may impact on the fair value reported for financial instruments.

 

The information on instruments that have not been valuated based on the market information is included in Note 6. In this regard, the Senior Management decides whether significant risks and property benefits of financial assets and financial lease are transferred to the counterparty, especially those of higher risk.

 

b-Losses from loan impairment and advances

 

The Group produces forecasts on repayment capacity of clients in order to determine the provisioning level to be applied pursuant to provisions set by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

Such forecasts are carried out with the regularity set by minimum provisioning standards set by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

c-Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

 

Intangible assets with finite lives and property, plants and equipment are amortized or depreciated along their useful lives in a lineal manner. The Group monitors the conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances justify a review of the amortization and remaining depreciation period and whether there are factors or circumstances that imply an impairment in the value of assets that cannot be recovered.

 

The Group has applied the judgment in the identification of impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The Group has defined that there was no evidence of impairment for any period included in the condensed consolidated Financial Statements. Given the aforementioned, no recoverable value has been calculated.

 

The evaluation process for potential impairment of an asset of indefinite useful life is subject to and require a significant judgment in many points over the course of the analysis, including the identification of its cash-generating unit, the identification and allocation of assets and liabilities to a cash-generating unit and the definition of their recoverable value. The recoverable value is compared in the books in order to define the non-recoverable portion of such value. When calculating the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit in virtue of the assessment of annual or regular impairment, the Group produces forecasts and significant judgments on future cash flows of the cash-generating unit. Its cash flow forecasts are based on assumptions that account for the best use of its cash-generating unit.

 

Although the Group believes that utilized assumptions and forecasts are suitable in virtue of the information available for the administration, changes in assumptions or circumstances may require changes in the assessment. Negative changes in assumptions utilized in an impairment tests of indefinite useful life intangible assets may result in the reduction or removal of the excess of fair value over the book value, which would result in the potential recognition of the impairment.

 

The Group decided that it would not be necessary to recognize an impairment loss in indefinite useful life intangible assets under such conditions.

d-Structured Entities.

 

Structured entities are designed so that the vote or similar rights do not account for the dominant factor when deciding who controls the entity. Likewise, judgment to determine whether the relation between the Group and a structured entity indicates that the structured entity is controlled by the Group is required. The Group does not consolidate non-controlled structured entities.

 

Given the fact that it might be difficult to determine whether the Group controls a structured entity, the administration evaluates its risk exposure and rewards, as well as its capacity to take operating decisions for such structured entity. In many cases, there are elements that, considered in an isolated manner, show the control or lack of control over a structured entity, but when considered as a whole, it is difficult to draw up a clear conclusion. In those cases in which there are more arguments for the existence of control, the structured entity is consolidated. The following elements were utilized to determine the control existence or lack of control existence:

 

-     Object and design of the financial trust

-     Identification of relevant activities

-     Deciding process regarding such activities

-     Whether the rights the Group holds enable it to run relevant activities of the financial trust

-     Whether the Group is exposed, or holds rights over variable results of its interest in such financial trust

-     Whether the Group relies on the capacity to allocate such results in virtue of its power over the financial trust

 

Should not the Group consolidate assets, liabilities and results of these consolidated structured entities, the net effect in the consolidated condensed income statement would produce a loss of 133,912 and 4,663 as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 respectively. See Note 1.4 for further information on the Group´s exposure to structured entities.

 

e-Income tax and deferred tax

 

A significant judgment is required to determine liabilities and assets from current and deferred taxes. The current tax is provisioned in accordance with the amounts expected to be paid and the deferred tax is provisioned over temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and book values to aliquots expected to be in force when reversing them.

 

Assets from deferred tax are recognized upon the possibility of relying on future taxable earnings against which temporary differences can be utilized, based on the Senior Management´s assumptions regarding amounts and opportunities of future taxable earnings. Later, it is necessary to determine whether assets from deferred tax are likely to be utilized and set off future taxable earnings. Real results may differ from estimates, such as changes in tax legislation or the result of the final review of affidavits issued by tax authorities and tax courts.

 

Likely future tax earnings and the number of tax benefits are based on a medium term business plan prepared by the administration. Such plan is based on reasonable expectations.

e-Insurance: Includes insurance products, mainly personal accident insurance, personal belonging insurance and life insurance.

f-Mutual Fund Administration and Other Segments – Includes MFs administered by the Group and non-financial products and services.

 

Operating results of the different operating segments of the Group are monitored individually with the purpose of taking decisions over the allocation of resources and the performance appraisal of each segment. The performance of such segments will be evaluated based on operating earnings and losses and is measured consistently with operating earnings and losses of the consolidated earnings and losses statement.

 

When a transaction is carried out, transfer prices between segments are taken in an independent and equitative manner, as in cases of transactions with third parties. Later, income, expenses and results from transfers between operating segments are removed from the consolidation.

5. INCOME TAX

 

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive enacted Law 27430 – Income Tax. Such law has introduced several changes in the treatment of income tax which components are as follows:

 

Income tax aliquot: Income tax aliquot for Argentine corporations will be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for fiscal years starting on January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 and to a 25% for fiscal years starting and including on January 1, 2020.

 

Dividend tax: A tax on dividends or distributed earnings, among others, from Argentine corporations or permanent plant to: human persons, undivided inheritance, foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following conditions: (i) dividends resulting from general earnings generated during fiscal years staring on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to a 7% withholding and (ii) dividends generated by earnings produced in fiscal years starting as from January 1, 2020 on shall be subject to a 13% withholding.

 

Dividends generated by beneficiaries until the previous fiscal year starting as from January 1, 2018 will remain subject to, for all beneficiaries of such dividends, the 35% withholding over the amount exceeding distributable untaxed accrued earnings (transition period of the equating tax).

 

Withholding updating: Acquisitions or investments carried out over the course of fiscal years starting on January 1, 2018, will be updated based on percentage changes released by the Index of Minimum Wholesale Prices (IMWP) provided by the National Statistics and Census Institute, situation that shall increase the deductible amortization and its computable cost in the case of sale.

6. FAIR VALUES

 

The Group classifies fair values of financial instruments in three levels according to the quality of the data utilized for such classification.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, negotiable or available investments for sale) is based on market quotation prices as of report period date. The market prices utilized in financial assets held by the Group accounts for the current purchase price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not negotiated in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is fixed by means of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies the least possible on specific estimates of the Group. If all variables necessary for the definition of the fair value of a financial instrument are observable variables, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on market observable information, the instrument is included in level 3, such as unlisted capital instruments.

 

The Group´s financial instruments at fair value as of period closing are described as follows:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 03/31/2018 FV level 1 FV level 2 FV level 3
Assets      
- Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss 6,114,079 3,838,817
- Derivatives 97,686
- Other financial assets 70,719
- Other debt securities 32
- Financial assets delivered as guarantee 3,219,178
- Investments in Equity Instruments 34,323                    8,299
Total Assets 9,536,017 3,847,116

Total Liabilities 3,510,840

 

Valuation Techniques

 

Valuation techniques to define Fair Values include the following: 

-       Market prices or quotations of similar instruments 

-       Definition of estimated current value of the instruments.

 

All fair value calculations are included in level 2. To such ends, the Entity utilizes valuation techniques through spot rate curves which calculate the yield upon market prices.

 

Pursuant to IFRS, in general terms, the residual value calculated for instruments at the beginning is given by the transaction price. If the transaction price differs from certain fair value, such difference will be recognized in the Income Statement in a proportional manner during the instrument duration.

 

7. EARNING PER SHARE

 

Earnings per share is calculated by splitting the earnings attributable to the Group´s shareholders among the weighted average of common issued shares over the course of one year. Since the Group holds neither preferred shares nor share-convertible shares, the basic result is the same as that diluted per share.

 

  3/31/2018 3/31/2017
Income attributable to shareholders of the group 722,634 291,806
Weighted average of shares issued (thousands) 456,722 363,778
Income per share 1.58 0.80

16.    DEPOSIT GUARANTEE INSURANCE SYSTEM

 

Through Law No. 24,485 and Decree No. 540/95 the Deposit Guarantee Insurance System was created with the purpose of covering the risk of bank deposits in addition to the system of privileges and protection set forth by the Financing institutions Law.

 

Through Decree No. 1127/98 dated September 24, 1998, the National Executive Branch established the maximum coverage limit of the guarantee system, applicable to demand or time deposits, in pesos and/or foreign currency. At present, such limits amounts to 450, as set through Communication “A” 5943, which will enter in force as from May 1, 2016.

 

This regime does not include deposits made by other financial institutions (including time deposit certificates acquired through a secondary transaction), deposits made by persons directly or indirectly related to the bank, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees, and those set up after July 1, 1995 at an interest rate higher than that periodically set forth by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) on the basis of the daily survey carried out by that agency. Excluded from the regime are also the deposits whose ownership was acquired through endorsement and placements offering incentives additional to the interest rate. The system has been implemented through the creation of the so-called “Deposit Guarantee Fund” (F.G.D.), which is managed by the company Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (SEDESA) and whose shareholders are the Central Bank and the financial institutions in the proportion determined for each of them by that agency on the basis of contributions made to the fund.

23. POLICY OF RISK MANAGEMENT

 

Financial risk factors

 

Credit risk

 

The Integral Risk Committee passes credit risk strategies and policies submitted in accordance with recommendations provided by the Integral Risk Corporate Department, the Credit Corporate Department and commercial sectors and in compliance with regulations set by the Argentine Central Bank. The credit strategy and policy is aimed at the development of commercial opportunities within the framework and conditions of the Bank´s business plan, while keeping suitable caution levels in face of the risk.

 

Policies and procedures enable the definition of accurate aspects aimed at the deployment of the Bank´s Strategy related to the administration of credit risk; among them, the Bank´s criteria to grant loans, credit benefits and powers, types of products and the way in which the structure is organized, among other aspects. Likewise, the Bank relies on an integral risk policy where aspects related to general key risk governance as well as specific manuals and procedures that include, among others, all relevant regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

The entity´s credit risk administration policy is open to corporate and individual markets. To such ends, a customer segmentation has been defined for corporate banking, retail banking and finance.

 

The Group is focused on supporting companies that belong to potential sectors, and, rely on a successful background in their activities. Within the credit products range offered to the Corporate segment, the Bank aims at developing and keeping its leading position in the factoring and leasing market in addition to playing a reference role in international trade.

 

As for corporate banking, the Bank is aimed at relying on a sound proposal for the Small and Medium Size companies and Big Companies by building close ties with clients through attention centers, agreements with clients along with their value chain and the delivery of effective responses through existing credit processes.

 

As for individuals, retail banking is aimed at keeping its leading position in the retirement business and focusing on financing for consumption through its distribution networks, branches and centers for retirees’ attention.

 

In turn, the finance area is focused on trust businesses, asset allocation in the capital market through financial trusts and bonds, its own portfolio or third parties´, and the trading desk. Some of the existing products are: interbanking call, Repo operations, call corporate, Government Securities and currency policy instruments of the Central Bank, Consumption portfolio purchase, third parties´ financial trusts, swap negotiation (futures, swaps, etc.), among others.

 

The Group is willing to carry out a strategy that enable it to address its contractual commitments, both under normal market conditions and negative situations. Therefore, the Entity relies on scoring and rating models with the purpose of estimating probability of default (PD) of the different client portfolios. As for risk appetite framework, the Entity relies on cut-offs for each segment that express the maximum risk to be assumed in terms of probability of default.

In addition to PD parameters, the Bank relies on estimates of default exposure (DE) parameters and losses upon default (LUD) with the purpose of estimating statistic provisions of the Group´s portfolio and the necessary economic capital in face of unexpected losses that may arise regarding credit risk.

 

The Group is aimed at keeping a diversified and atomized portfolio, thus minimizing risk concentration. To such ends, loan granting and portfolio profile are adjusted to each different circumstance.

 

Credit Risk Measurement Models

 

The Entity relies on models aimed at estimating the distribution of potential losses in its credit portfolio, which depend on the realization of defaults by the counterparties (PD – Probability of Default), as well as the assumed exposure to such defaults (EAD –Exposure At the moment of Default) and the proportion of each defaulted loan the Bank can recover (LGD – Loss Generated by Default). According to these parameters, the Expected Loss (EL) and the Economic Capital are estimated.

 

Based on the aforementioned, the Bank has kept on working on the development of methodologies that enable the calculation of the Risk-Adjusted Profitability (RAP).

 

Statistic Provision Calculation

 

Practices for the calculation of statistic provisions are aimed at analyzing the Bank’s own portfolio information thus calculating, in global terms, the average value of the loss distribution function over an annual term (expected loss). The related expected loss results from the results produced by PD, EAD, and LGD estimations.

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The economic capital for Credit Risk accounts for the difference between the portfolio’s value at risk (according to the confidence level for individuals of 99.9% and for companies of 99%) and the expected losses.

 

The Bank relies on Economic Capital models for Credit Risk (one for individuals and another for companies). Such quantitative models include the exacerbation of Capital by Concentration Risk, as well as that of Securitization Risk. The holding period utilized in economic capital calculation models for this risk is a year, except from exposures related to factoring, in which case the holding period is six month.

 

Counterparties’ Risk Administration

 

The Group relies on a Counterparty’s Risk Map where the following is defined for each counterparty according to the Bank’s risk appetite: credit exposure and settlement limits, settlement risk in Exchanges, Securities, Repo Operation, among other issues the Bank passes through the Credit Committee while defining an action framework for Finances.

 

As for the Economic Capital for the Counterparty’s Risk, it is included in the Credit Risk Economic Capital Quantitative Model.

 

Impairment of Financial Instruments

 

The Group holds provisions on loans in accordance with the type of loan portfolio through the individual assessment of each client classified as “Commercial Portfolio” or “Consumer Portfolio” and a massive assessment based on delinquency days for those clients classified as “Consumer Portfolio”. See Note 1.12, provisioning criteria utilized.

 

Withdrawn loans

 

Those loans classified as non-performing loans over 7 months are withdrawn from assets and recognizing such loans off balance sheet.

Market risk

 

Banco Supervielle defines Market Risk as the risk resulting from deviations that take place in the trading portfolio value as a result of market fluctuations during the period required for the settlement of portfolio positions.

 

The Risk Department’s measurement, control and follow-up perimeter covers those operations where equity risk is assumed as a result of changes in market factors. Such risk results from the variation in considered risk factors (interest rate, exchange rate, floating rate), as well as liquidity risk in the different products and markets where the Bank operates.

 

With the purpose of measuring the risk of positions homogeneously and therefore, setting a limit and threshold structure in virtue of the management and control schemes, Banco Supervielle utilizes the VaR model (Value at Risk), which defines the maximum expected loss to be recorded in a financial asset portfolio in normal market situations, within a certain period of time and at a pre-established reliability level. Resulting indicators enable the Bank to detect the level as from which a potential market risk is identified to take all relevant preventive measures as the case may be.

 

Approved strategies and policies are contained in the so-called Risk Map instrument, which thoroughly describes authorized operations to be carried out by the Trading Desk while defining authorized officers to pass such operations. Such document specifies the maximum term of operations, maximum amounts of position per product and maximum loss amounts involved (“stop loss”).

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

Banco Supervielle utilizes Parametric VaR methodology for the calculation of market economic capital risk, both at a consolidated and individual level, in each regulated entity included in this consolidation.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Entity defines Interest Rate Risk as the risk that stems from the likelihood of changes in the Bank’s financial condition as a result of market interest rate fluctuations, having effect on the entity’s financial incomes as well as their economic value. The following are such risk factors:

 

Different maturity terms and interest rate re-adjustment dates for assets, liabilities and holdings off balance sheet.

Local rate, foreign rate and CER in virtue of their forecast, evolution and volatility

The basis risk that results from the unsuitable correlation in the adjustment of assets and liabilities rates for instruments that contain similar revaluation features;

Implicit options in certain assets, liabilities and items out of the Entity’s financial statement scope

 

The Group implements the interest rate risk administration model, also known as financial statement structural risk, by including the analysis of interest rates gaps. Such analysis enables the basic explanation of the financial statement structure as well as the detection of interest risk concentration along the different terms.

 

The administration of the balance sheet interest rate is aimed at keeping the Bank´s exposure within those levels of risk appetite profile validated by the Board upon changes in the market interest rates.

 

To such ends, the interest rate risk administration relies on the monitoring of two metrics:

 

MVE – VaR Approach: measures the difference between the economic values estimated given the market curve and said value estimated given the interest rate curve resulting from the simulation of different stress scenarios. The Bank utilizes this approach to calculate the economic capital for this risk.

NIM – EaR Approach: measures changes in expected accruals over a certain period of time (12 months) upon an interest rate curve shift resulting from a different stress situation simulation practices.

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The Group calculates its Interest Rate Risk economic capital following MVE-EaR approach, utilizing a three-month holding period and a 99% confidence level. This quantitative model includes the exacerbation of Capital by Securitization Risk.

Liquidity Risk

 

The Group defines Liquidity Risk as the risk of assuming additional financing expenses upon unexpected liquidity needs. Such risk results from the difference of sizes and maturities between the Entity’s assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the following:

 

Funding Liquidity Risk means the risk that results from the impossibility of relying on funds at normal market cost when needed, grounded on the market’s perception for the Entity.

Market Liquidity Risk means the risk resulting from the Entity’s incapacity to off-set a position at market price in one or several assets for the raising of funds, as a consequence of the following two key factors:

Assets are not liquid enough; that is, do not rely on the necessary secondary market.

Changes that may take place in those markets where it lists

 

Indicators of liquidity and concentration of funding sources enable the quantification of tolerance to this risk, starting from the most acid and restrictive definitions of liquidity concept to the most comprehensive ones that include distinctive features of the Group’s business model.

 

The Following are the main core metrics utilized for the liquidity risk administration:

 

LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): measures the relation between high quality liquid assets and total net cash outflows over a 30-day period. Banco Supervielle estimates this indicator on a daily basis, having met the minimum forecasted value in 2017.

Coverage of Remunerated Accounts and Pre-Payable Term Deposits this indicator is aimed at limiting funding dependence of more unstable sources in illiquid scenarios, either idiosyncrasy or systemic.

 

In addition, the administration is complemented with the daily monitoring of a series of follow-up metrics within the framework of the Assets and Liabilities Committee. Such indicators are aimed at disaggregating the main components of LCR, thus offering a liquidity situation evaluation for the Bank and warning upon trend changes that may put those guidelines set by the risk appetite policy at stake.

 

Finally, suitable controls over intraday liquidity and the compliance of minimum cash regulations account for the remaining pillars on which the Bank´s liquidity policy stands.

 

Liquidity risk administration is featured by a strict daily follow-up of liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), ensuring a suitable forecast of funding and free-availability liquid assets needs with the purpose of maintaining LCR within levels set by the risk appetite policy. As from 2018, the follow-up on the normal stable funding ration (NSFR) is included in accordance with provisions set by the Argentine Central Bank and Basle III criteria guidelines.

 

Economic Capital Calculation

 

The Entity relies on the following elements that ensure the suitable administration of this type of risk:

 

Broad liquidity indicator switchboard, by means of which a wide range of liquidity levels is monitored. Each indicator relies on its relevant threshold and limit, which are monitored on a daily basis by the Risk Area (sending due warnings upon violation cases), on a fortnight basis by the Assets and Liabilities Committee (ALCO) and on a monthly basis by the Integral Risk Committee. Likewise, a weekly report is drawn up and sent to members of the Integral Risk Committee, ALCO and the Board.

 

Indicators that measure the concentration of funding sources, specifying the Bank’s risk appetite.

 

Development and monitoring of new liquidity coverage and leverage indicators set by the Argentine Central Bank in compliance with Basle III route map.

 

Different liquidity risk follow-up tools have been added, including a disaggregate assessment of contractual term mismatches and funding concentration reports of the Bank, by counterparty, product and significant currency. The accuracy of the information required for the drawing-up of such reports contributed with the improvement of MIS (Management Information System) of risks.

The definition of the liquidity coverage ratio itself assumes the evaluation of the Bank´s capacity to meet liquidity needs over a 30-day period within a stress scenario described by the Argentine Central Bank. The follow-up of this indicator dis carried out on a daily basis, keeping the Bank´s liquidity director and officials updated on its evolution.

 

Permanent monitoring of limit and threshold compliance in virtue of the stable funding ratio (NSFR).

 

Individual stress tests, carried out on a daily basis upon an eventual critical scenario of strong deposit outflow and its impact on the minimum cash position and LCR.

 

As for contingency plans, the Bank follows a policy that ensures the application of guidelines in stress trials exercises, as well as situations of threshold and/or limit violation according to the decision taken by ALCO Committee and the validation of the Integral Risk Committee.

 

The Risk administration scheme described herein enables the justification of a suitable liquidity situation; therefore, the Bank considers the economic capital estimation unnecessary to cover such risk, as long as the Bank’s solvency should not be affected once the stress trial contingency plan measures have been implemented.

27. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

 

The following information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set by the Argentine Central Bank in relation with fiscal year ended on December 31, 2017 and happens to be necessary for the understanding of these interim condensed separate Financial Statements.

 

27.1 Cash and Deposits in Banks

 

Equivalents to cash are held for short term payment commitments rather than investments or similar operations. For a financial investment to be classified as ash equivalent, such investment must be easily converted into a certain cash amount and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in its value. Therefore, such an investment will be equivalent to cash as long as it contains short term maturity dates, three months or less, to be calculated from the acquisition date. Interest in the capital of other entities will be excluded of cash equivalents.

 

Components of cash and cash equivalents are described as follows:

 

Item 12/31/2017
Cash and due from banks 11,097,803
Listed Bills and Notes of the Argentine Central Bank for the own portfolio 9,646,700
Mutual Funds 680,865
Cash and equivalents 21,425,368

 

In turn, the following includes reconciliations between balances of those items considered as cash equivalents in the Statement of Cash Flow and those included in the Financial Statements as of fiscal year closing:

 

Items 12/31/2017
Cash and Deposits in Banks  
 As per Statement of Financial Position 11,097,803
As per Statement of Cash Flows 11,097,803
Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss  
 As per Statement of Financial Position 11,106,051
 Securities not considered as cash equivalents (1,459,351)
 As per Statement of Cash Flows 9,646,700
Mutual Funds  
As per Statement of Financial Position – Other financial assets 1,702,708
Other assets (1,021,843)
 As per Statement of Cash Flow 680,865

Total Liabilities 2,722,938 13,976,046 16,698,984

 

27.2.1 Fair Values

 

The Group classifies fair values of financial instruments in three levels according to the quality of the data utilized for such classification.

 

The Group’s financial instruments measured at fair value as of fiscal year closing are described as follows:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 12/31/2017 FV level 1 FV level 2 FV level 3
Assets      
- Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss 10,911,616 492,670
- Derivatives 26,916
- Other financial assets 1,031,989
- Other debt securities 32
- Financial assets delivered as guarantee 1,182,220
- Investments in Equity Instruments 38,001 7,918
Total Assets 13,190,774 500,588
Liabilities      
- Other financial liabilities 2,672,833  
- Financing received from the Argentine Central Bank and other financial entities 50,105
Total Liabilities 2,722,938

 

The Group´s policy is aimed at the recognition of transfers among the levels of Fair Values only as of fiscal year closing dates, thus avoiding changes regarding financial instruments held in portfolio as of December 31, 2017.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, negotiable or available investments for sale) is based on market quotation prices as of report period date. The market prices utilized in financial assets held by the Group accounts for the current purchase price. These instruments are included in level 1.

GRUPO SUPERVIELLE S.A. 

 

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 

As of March 31, 2018 presented in comparative format 

(Expressed in thousands of pesos)

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not negotiated in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is fixed by means of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies the least possible on specific estimates of the Group. If all variables necessary for the definition of the fair value of a financial instrument are observable variables, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on market observable information, the instrument is included in level 3, such as unlisted capital instruments.

 

27.2.2 Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The Group relies on financial instruments which are not valued at fair value. For most of such instruments, the fair value does not differ substantially from their residual value because the payable or receivable interest rate is similar to market rates, or, otherwise, it is a short-term instrument.

 

27.3 Withdrawal of Financial Assets

 

The portfolio transferred to financial trust as set out in Note 1.4 does not involve the withdrawal of such portfolios from the Group´s assets accounts. The Group has kept substantially all risks and benefits related to the portfolio in trust in accordance with section 3.2.4. (Withdrawal of assets account) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, thus recognizing the total securitized portfolios and debt acquired with the Trust Fund in its Financial Position Statement.

 

The following chart includes portfolio in trust balances and debt related to such portfolios:

 

  12/31/2017
Total Assets in Trust  1,507,187
Assets related to Trust Portfolio  1,345,522
Liabilities related to  900,544

 

27.4 Repo operations

 

The Group holds repo operations, which enable cash sales of securities with the relevant effectiveness of its forward purchase operation, thus substantially keeping all risks and benefits related to instruments, while recognizing them in its Financial Position Statement as of fiscal year closing as a result of not applying Section 3.4.2. (Withdrawal of Assets) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

 

The following chart provides residual values of assets transferred in repo operations:

 

Type Type of Contract Maturity date Term Nominal Value Closing value
I16Y8 Lebac Interna  Forward sale for repo transactions 01/02/2018 4 4,100,000,000 3,738,790
Total as of December 31, 2017 4,100,000,000 3,738,790

 

Prices of forward sale are valued in accordance with the quotation of securities at closing date; therefore, the difference between the effectiveness price and the closing price accounts for the accrued premium, in favor or against, as the case may be.

Provisions set by the Argentine Central Bank on the classification of debt are aimed at both providing guidelines to identify and classify the quality of assets and evaluating the real or potential risk of capital or interest losses to determine (taking into account guarantees) whether there are suitable provisions for such contingencies. The Group must classify its loan portfolio in two categories: (i) consumer loans or mortgage loans and (ii) commercial loans. Consumer or mortgage loans (including credit card financing), loans of up to 5,000,000 to Micro-Crdit Institutions and Micro-entrepreneurs, and other types of commercial loans of up to 5,000,000 with or without guarantee. Any other loan is considered as commercial loan. Consumer or Mortgage loans that exceed AR$5,000,000 and which repayment is tied to its productive or commercial activity evolution, are classified as commercial loans.

 

At the Group´s sole discretion, commercial loans of up to 5,000,000, with or without preferred guarantees, may be classified as consumption or mortgage loans, and will be treated under the said loans conditions. If a client holds both type of loans (commercial loans and consumer or mortgage loans), consumer or mortgage loans are included in the commercial portfolio to determine under which portfolio the must be classified depending of the amounts. In these cases, loans with preferred guarantees are recognized at the 50% of their nominal value.

 

Under this classification system, each client, as well as his/her outstanding debts, are included in a one out of six sub-categories. Debt classification criteria applied to consumer loan portfolios for are mainly based on objective factors related to the fulfilment of obligations on behalf of clients and their legal situation; whereas the key criterion to classify commercial loan portfolios is given by each client´s payment capacity based on their future cash flow.

27.5.1 Classification of commercial loans

 

The main criterion utilized by the Group to evaluate a commercial loan is given by the borrower´s repayment capacity, which is measured by the future cash flow of such borrower. Pursuant to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank, commercial loans are classified as follows:

 

Classification Criteria
In normal situation

Debtors in virtue of whom there are no doubts regarding their capacity to honor their payment obligations

 

With special follow-up under observation

Debtors whose delinquency does not exceed 90 days, among other criteria, though considered capable of serving any financial obligation are sensitive to changes that may affect their capacity to serve their debts upon the lack of due correcting measures.

 

Under special follow-up / under negotiation or with refinancing agreements

Includes clients who in face of their incapacity to serve their payment obligations under agreed-upon conditions, duly express, prior to 60 days to be counted as from the date on which such delinquency was recorded, their intention to refinance their debts. Upon failure to agree on such refinancing within 90days (if two lending entities were involved) or 180 calendar days (if more than two lending entities were involved) following the payment default date, the debtor shall be reclassified to the lower relevant category in accordance with indicators set for each level.

 

With problems

Debtors with difficulties to serve their financial obligations on a regular basis, and upon lack of correction produce losses for the bank or debtors under payment agreements resulting from judicial rulings or extrajudicial ratified agreements (including ratified extrajudicial pre-emptive agreements) to expire.

 

With high risk of insolvency

Debtors with high chances of financial obligation payment default or debtors who have requested a pre-emptive agreement, entered into an extrajudicial pre-emptive agreement that has not been ratified or have filed for chapter 11 and such filing has not been declared.

 

Irrecoverable

Loans classified as non-performing loans upon assessment (though there might be a possibility to collect such loans in the future). It is understood that the debtor will not serve his/her financial obligations with the financial entity. Loans to insolvent or under Chapter 11 debtors are included.

 

Irrecoverable under technical ruling (a) A debtor has failed to serve his/her payment obligations over a period of more than 180 calendar days pursuant to the report issued by the Argentine Central Bank, including (1) financial entities liquidated by the Argentine Central Bank, (2) residual entities created as a result of the privatization of public financial entities, or in liquidation or privatization process, (3) financial entities whose license has been revoked by the Argentine Central Bank and are subject to judicial liquidation or bankruptcy procedures; and (4) trust funds where SEDESA is the beneficiary; or (b) certain types of foreign borrowers (including banks or other financial entities which are not subject to the supervision of the Argentine Central Bank or similar authority of the country where such entities are registered) who do not rely on the international classification “investment grade” to be issued by any risk rating agency recognized by the Argentine Central Bank.

27.5.2 Classification of consumer and mortgage loans

 

The main criterion utilized for the evaluation of consumer and mortgage loan portfolio is given by default terms. Pursuant to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank, debtors are classified as follows:

 

Classification Criteria
Normal situation

Upon due payment or delinquency not exceeding 31 days and upon current account overdrafts, delinquency of less than 61 days.

 

Low risk

Loans to clients who record from-time-to-time defaults in serving their obligations, falling behind payments over 31 to 90 days periods.

 

Medium risk

Loans that record delinquency over a period of more than 90 days but not exceeding 180 days.

 

High risk

Loans resulting a judicial collection process, or loans that bear delinquency of more than 180 days but not exceeding 365 days.

 

Irrecoverable

Loans to insolvent clients, under judicial process or bankruptcy, with no or few recovery or under delinquency of more than 365 days.

 

Irrecoverable under technical ruling The same criteria as for commercial loans unrecoverable under technical ruling condition pursuant to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

 

27.5.3 Minimum uncollectibility risk provisions

 

The Argentine Central Bank has set the following minimum credit provisions for the credit portfolio and guarantees.

 

Category With preferred
guarantees
Without preferred guarantees
“Normal situation” 1% 1%
“Under observation” and “Low risk” 3% 5%
“Under bargaining process or with refinancing agreements” 6% 12%
“With problems” and “Medium risk” 12% 25%
“With high insolvency risk” and “High risk” 25% 50%
“Irrecoverable” 50% 100%
“Irrecoverable under technical ruling” 100% 100%

 

Above mentioned percentages are applied over the base of total client´s obligations, considering both the capital and interests. Provisions for the normal portfolio are of a global nature; whereas, provisions for all other categories are of an individual recording nature. Likewise, provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank set the cancellation of accruals or the set-up of provisions of the 100% of interests on clients classified as “With Problems and Medium Risk” or in lower quality categories.

 

However, financing covered with preferred “A” collaterals are provisioned at the 1% regardless of the client´s category.

 

Financial entities are entitled to recording uncolletibility provisions for amounts higher than those required by the Argentine Central Bank. In such cases, and without detriment of the existence of certain exemptions, the recording of a higher provision for a commercial loan, as long as the recorded provision amount remains in the following category of loan portfolios pursuant to provisions in force, shall automatically result in the debtor´s relevant recategorization.

27.5.4 Minimum frequency for classification review

 

Financial entities develop portfolio assessment procedures that enable the suitable analysis of the debtor´s economic and financial situation and a regular review of their situations regarding the objective and subjective conditions of any assumed risk. Such procedures shall be included in the so-called “Manuel for Classification and Provision Procedures”, which shall be available at all times for the SEFyC for its review. The classification assessment must be duly documented. The classification review shall include (i) clients whose total indebtedness (in pesos or foreign currency) exceeds the 1% of the accountable personal liability of the entity for the previous month to the classification or the equivalent in pesos; and (ii) at least the 20% of the total secured portfolio, which will be completed, as the case may be, through the addition of clients whose total indebtedness is lower than those margins described in section 8i) above.

 

As for commercial loans, applicable provisions also require a minimum review frequency. Such review shall occur (i) quarterly for clients whose financing is equivalent to the 5.0% or higher of the ACR of the previous month as of period closing and (ii) on a six-month basis, for clients whose financing add (x) from time to time between the 1% -or the equivalent to 12.5 million, the lowest of both and (y) minus the 5.0% of the ACR of the financial entity regarding the previous month. As of second quarter closing, the integral review pursuant to section (i) and (ii) shall have reached at least the 50% of the total amount of such total commercial portfolio, and upon recording a lower percentage, it shall be completed through the addition of clients (in a decreasing order) whose total indebtedness happens to be lower than limits described in section (ii)(x) above.

 

Likewise, financial entities shall review the classification assigned to a debtor in certain situations, such as in the case when another financial entity reduces the debtor´s classification in the “Financial System´s Debtor Register” with positive balances of at least the 10% of the total recorded in the financial system. Only one difference of more than one level regarding the information submitted by financial entities before the Financial System´s Debtor Register and the lowest classification for at least other two entities and total positive balance of such entities totaling the 40% or more of the total recorded; upon the existence of a higher difference, the financial entity shall reclassify the debtor.

 

27.5.5 Uncollectibility risk provisions

 

Uncollectibility risk provisions are held pursuant to applicable provisions set by the Argentine Central Bank. Increases in the provision are based on the level of loan portfolio growth as well as the detriment of the existing loan portfolio; whereas decreases in provisions are based on regulations that require that irregular situation loans classified as “non-performing” loans are written off after certain period of time and in administration decisions to write off those irregular situation loans that entail very few collection chances.

 

27.6 Obligations and financial lease

 

Our obligations under financial lease result mainly from rent payments. The Group is entitled to terminating such agreements at its sole discretion without bearing any significant cost. As of December 31, 2017, the maximum potential amount for future payments under financial lease amounted to 557,134.

 

The following chart includes the Group´s receivable lease maturities and current values as of December 31, 2017:

 

Receivable royalties 12/31/2017
Up to 1 year 1,358,464
More than a year up to two years 1,113,691
From two to three years 704,272
From three to five years 427,456

The balance of uncollectibility risk provisions related to financial lease amounts to 25,356 as of fiscal year closing.

 

27.7 Transfer of financial assets

 

When the Group carries out a transfer of financial assets under an agreement that meets all requirements to withdraw such assets but keeps the administration right in turn for a commission, assets or liabilities from the commission under such agreement are recognized.

 

Upon the withdrawal of a financial asset, the difference between the book value and the earning received is expensed against results.

 

(a)Transfers that do not meet requirements for the withdrawal of transferred financial assets

 

The following describes financial assets transferred by the Group still included in its consolidated Financial Statements:

 

  As of December 31, 2017
Book value of assets Book value of related liabilities
Consumer loans transferred to financial trust 1,345,522 900,544
Transferred portfolio with resource 570,803 570,803

 

(b)Transfers of financial assets that meet financial assets withdrawal requirements as a whole

 

The Group may sell certain opportunities, significant delinquent portfolios without resource for the buyer. IN these cases, the Group is held harmless of any substantial risk or benefit regarding the transferred portfolio, and therefore, such portfolio meets withdrawal requirements.

 

27.8 Investment in Structured Entities

 

Consolidated Structured Entities

 

The Group controls a structured entity when it holds rights over investments results and also has the capacity to affect results through the administration of the entity.

 

Structured entities are consolidated from the moment in which the Group holds control over such entities.

 

The Company evaluated the following aspects upon interest measurement:

 

-Nature and object of the relation

-Effective relevant activities

-Influence of such activities

-The investor´s right to define conditions of relevant activities

-Whether the investor is exposed, or holds rights on variable profits of its interest in the structured entity

-The influence the Group may have on thee entity´s income.

 

Taking into account the aforementioned, structured entities have been consolidated.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Separate Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2018 presented in comparative format  

(Expressed in thousands of pesos)

 

1.ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Grupo Supervielle S.A. (hereinafter, “the Group”), is a company whose main activity is the investment in other companies. Its main income is given by the distribution of dividends of such companies and the raising of earnings of other financial assets.

 

The main investment of the Company accounts for the stake in Banco Supervielle S.A., a financial entity governed pursuant to Law N° 21,526 of Financial Statements and subject to provisions issued by the Argentine Central Bank, in virtue of which the entity has adopted valuation and disclosure guidelines (see Note 1.1) pursuant to provisions included in Title IV, chapter I, Section I, article 2 of the Amended Text 2013 issued by the National Securities Commissions.

 

The issuance of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the period ended on March 31, 2018, was passed by the Board of the Company over the course of its meeting held on May 21, 2018.

 

1.1. Adoption of IFRS´

 

The Argentine Central Bank, through Communications “A” 5541 and amendments, has established the convergence plan towards the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee for the entities under its supervision, except the application of section 5.5 (impairment) of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”, for the fiscal years as from January 1, 2018. Moreover, such entities shall prepare their opening Financial Statements as of January 1, 2017, which will be deemed the comparative basis of the fiscal year to begin on January 1, 2018. The first interim Financial Statements to be reported under these standards are those as of March 31, 2018.

 

The Argentine Central Bank also published Communication “A” 6430 dated January 12, 2018, by which it is established that Financial Entities shall begin to apply the provisions regarding Impairment of Financial Assets contained in section 5.5 of IFRS 9 for the fiscal years as of January 1, 2020. Such model of impairment of financial assets sets forth a scheme of three stages based on the change of the credit quality of the financial assets from its in initial recognition. The assets move through the three stages depending on the changes on credit risk and the stages dictate how an entity measures losses due to deterioration and applies the effective interest method.

 

Stage 1 includes financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in the credit risk since its initial recognition, or that have a low credit risk at the reporting date. For these instruments, expected credit losses (ECL) are recognized for 12 months and interest income is calculated based on the gross book value of the asset (that is, with no deduction of the impairment allowance). The 12-month ECL result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date.

 

Stage 2 includes the financial instruments that have had a significant increase in the credit risk since its initial recognition (unless they have a low risk since its reporting date) but that do not show objective evidence of impairment. For these items, lifetime expected credit losses are recognized, but interest income is still calculated on the gross book value of the asset. Lifetime expected credit losses represent the present value of losses that would arise as a result of a default that occurred at any moment of the entire life of the instrument. It is the weighted average of losses that would occur in case of default, using the risk of default as the weights.

 

Stage 3 includes financial assets with objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. For these items, lifetime expected credit losses are recognized and interest income is calculated on the net book value (that is, net value of the impairment allowance).

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Separate Financial Statements of the Group for the three-month period ended on March 31, 2018, have been prepared pursuant to IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared according to the policies the Entity expects to adopt in its consolidated annual Financial Statements as of December 31, 2018.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Separate Financial Statements

As of March 31, 2018 presented in comparative format  

(Expressed in thousands of pesos)

 

The comparative figures and the ones from the transition date (January 1, 2017) have been modified in order to reflect the adjustments with the previous accounting framework.

 

In note 3 there is a reconciliation between the figures of the statements of financial position and comprehensive income statement issued in accordance with the previous Accounting Framework and the figures reported in accordance with the Accounting Framework established by the Argentine Central Bank in these interim Financial Statements, as of the transition date (January 1, 2017), the adoption date (December 31, 2017) and the comparative period closing date (March 31, 2017).

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Separate Financial Statements must be read together with the annual Financial Statements of the Bank as of December 31, 2017, which have been prepared according to the previous accounting framework.

 

The Group’s senior management has concluded that the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reasonably represent the financial position, financial income and cash flow.

 

1.2. Basis of preparation

 

These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared according to the Accounting Framework established by the Argentine Central Bank described in Note 1.1.

 

The preparation of these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires estimates and evaluations that affect the amount of registered assets and liabilities, and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed as of the issuing date of these interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements, as well as registered income and expenses.

 

The Senior Management of the Company makes estimates in order to calculate, among others, loan loss allowances, lifespan of property, plant and equipment, depreciations and amortizations, recoverable value of assets, income tax charge, other charges and labor liabilities and allowances for contingencies, labor, civil and commercial lawsuits. The future real results may differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the preparation date of these interim Financial Statements.

 

a)Going concern

 

As of the date of these unaudited interim condensed separate Financial Statements there are no uncertainties with respect to events or conditions that may raise doubts regarding the possibility that the Group continues to operate normally as a going concern.

 

b)Unit of measure

 

The unaudited interim condensed separate Financial Statements of the Entity are expressed in Argentine pesos which is the functional currency of the Group.

 

IFRS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that Financial Statements of any entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy must be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach. To this effect, generally, non-monetary items must include the inflation produced as from the date of acquisition or the date of revaluation as applicable. For the purposes of concluding on the existence of a hyperinflationary economy, the standard specifies a series of factors to take into account, which include a cumulative inflation rate over three years that approaches or exceeds 100%.

 

At the closing date of the reporting period there was an evaluation that concluded that the characteristics to determine a context of inflation defined by the IFRS, which would lead to rate this economy as highly inflationary, are not present. Furthermore, there is a downward trend in government expectations regarding the level of inflation. Consequently, these Financial Statements have not been restated in constant currency.

 

However, in the last years certain macroeconomics variables have suffered relevant fluctuations, which must be considered in the assessment and interpretation of the balance sheet and the results included in these Financial Statements.

c)Changes in accounting policies/new accounting standards

 

The new published standards, modifications and interpretations are listed below, which still have not entered into force for fiscal years starting as of January 1, 2018, and have not been adopted in advance.

 

IFRS 16 “Leases”: In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 “Leases” which sets forth the new model of registration of leasing operations. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. IFRS 16 requires that the lessee recognize the lease liability which reflects future payments of leases, except for certain short-term lease agreements and leases of low-value assets. The lessors accounting is kept as provided in IFRS 17; however, it is expected that the new accounting model for lessees have an impact on the negotiations between lessors and lessees. This standard is effective for annual periods starting on or from January 1, 2019. The Entity is evaluating the accounting impact that the application of said standard will cause.

 

IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts”: In January 18, 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” which provides a comprehensive framework based on principles for measurement and presentation of all insurance contracts. The new rule will supersede IFRS 4 Insurance contracts and requires that insurance contracts be measured using cash flows of existing enforcement and that income be recognized as the service is rendered during the coverage period. The standard will come into force for the fiscal years beginning as from November 1, 2021. The Entity is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

 

IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over income tax treatments”: Such interpretation clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 Income tax are applied when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. This standard was published in June 2017 and will come into force for the fiscal years beginning as from January 1, 2019.

 

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations not yet effective and which are expected to have a significant impact on the Group.

 

1.3. Information by segment

 

The Group determines operating segments based on performance appraisal reports which are revised by the Board and key personnel of the Senior Management and updated upon changes occur.

 

The Group considers the business in accordance with the types of products and services available, thus identifying operating segments mentioned in Note 4 as per Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

2.MAIN VALUATION CRITERIA

 

2.1. Assets and liabilities to be settled in pesos

 

Assets and liabilities pending settlement in pesos are stated at their nominal values, contemplating, where applicable, interest and components accrued at the end of each fiscal year, which were expensed against income for each fiscal year. As for receivable and payable balances without related interest rate or without financial set-off, they have been kept at their nominal values which not differ significantly from discounted values.

 

The receivable at June 2018 originated by the sale of Adval S. A. have been discounted applying the market rate utilized for similar operations

 

2.2. Assets and liabilities to be settled in foreign currency

As for receivable and payable balances without related interest rate or without financial set-off, they have been kept at their nominal values which not differ significantly from discounted values.

Earnings and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are included in another comprehensive income within an item separate from the shareholders´ equity. Losses and reversals resulting from impairment, income from interest and earnings and losses from exchange rate are recognized in income. Upon the sale or disposal, previously-accrued earnings or losses recognized in another comprehensive income are moved from the shareholders´ equity to income statement.

Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures accounts for the excess between:

 

(i)       the cost of one acquisition, which is valued as the amount of the transferred payment, valued at fair value as of the acquisition date plus the amount of non-controlling interest; and

(ii)       the fair value of recognizable acquired assets and assumed liabilities of such acquisition.

Goodwill is included in Intangible Assets in the consolidated financial statement.

Goodwill is not amortized. The Group evaluates, annually or upon devaluation indicators, the recoverability of goodwill based on future discounted fund flows plus any other information available as of the preparation of consolidated Financial Statements. Earnings and losses from the sale of an entity include the goodwill balance in the sold entity.

 

Goodwill is assigned to cash-raising units with the purpose of carrying out recoverability tests. Such assignment applies to those cash-raising units (or group of units), identified in accordance with the operating segment criterion and benefiting from the combination of businesses from which goodwill resulted.

 

For goodwill resulting from the combination of previous businesses as of transition towards IFRS, the Group has utilized the option set by IFRS 1, “First Adoption of IFRS1” rather than the retroactive IFRS 3 option, “Combination of Businesses”.

 

2.5. Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Valued at acquisition or construction cost, net of accrued depreciations and/or accrued devaluation losses, if any. The cost includes expenses not directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of such items.

 

Property, plant and equipment acquired through the combination of businesses were initially valued at fair value estimated at the moment of the acquisition.

 

Following subsequent costs are included in the asset value or recognized as a separate asset, as the case may be, provided that such costs produce future economic benefits for the Group and such cost is value fairly. The book value of the asset that is replaced is withdrawn, thus amortizing the new asset by the remaining useful years at the moment of the improvement.

 

Reparation and maintenance expenses are recognized in the consolidated income statement of the period/year such events take place.

 

The depreciation of these assets is calculated utilizing the straight line method which enables the application of enough annual rates to extinguish their values at the end of their useful life. In the case of an asset that contains different useful lives, such asset is recognized and depreciated as separate items.

 

2.6. Other receivables and debts

 

Receivables and liabilities have been valued at their nominal value plus financial results accrued as of each fiscal year closing. Such resulting values do not differ significantly from those recorded by applying existing accounting standards, which establish that they are to be valued at their best possible estimated receivable or payable amount, respectively, discounted by utilizing a certain rate that shows the time value of the money and specific risks involved in the estimated operation at the moment of its inclusion in assets and liabilities respectively.

 

Banking and financial debts have been valued in accordance with the amount of money received, net of transaction costs, plus accrued financial results based on the return interest rate estimated upon initial recognition.

 

2.7. Issued Negotiable Obligations

 

Negotiable obligations issued by the Group are valued at amortized cost.

 

2.8. Reserved Earnings and dividend distribution

 

As for income resulting from dividends, there are certain restrictions for Companies where the Group holds interest. Such restrictions are mentioned in Note 1.25 as per Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

2.9. Recognition of income

 

Financial income and expenses are recorded for all debt instruments in accordance with the effective rate method, thus the differentiation from all positive and negative results which are an integral part of the operation effective rate.

Results contained in the effective rate include expenses or income related to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset or liability, such as issuance costs of Negotiable Obligations. The Group records its non-transferred financial assets at an amortized cost.

 

The Group´s income from services are recognized in the income statement in accordance with the performance obligations compliance.

 

2.10. Shareholders’ equity

 

Accounts included in this item are re-expressed in a uniform currency, except from “Capital Stock”, which has been kept at its nominal value.

 

The paid in capital has been decreased by expenses related to the issuance of shares.

 

2.11. Profit and Loss Accounts

 

Profit and loss accounts were stated in nominal currency, except for charges for results produced by permanent investments in companies, which were determined – as from their inclusion date – following the proportional net worth value method applied on the issuers’ last Financial Statements as of period closing.

 

2.12. Cash Flow

 

Total cash in “Cash and due from banks” and “Investments”, with residual term not exceeding 90 days are considered cash and cash equivalents.

 

3.TRANSITION TOWARDS IFRS

 

3.1 Requirements of transitions to IFRS

 

The following sets out a reconciliation between shareholders’ equity and income figures as well as other comprehensive income figures as per interim condensed separate Financial Statements issued pursuant to the Accounting Framework as of transition date (January 1, 2017), adoption date (December 31, 2017) and comparative period closing date (March 31, 2017) and figures expressed pursuant to IFRS in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

3.2 IFRS optative exemptions

 

IFRS 1 allows first-time adopters to consider certain only-once exemptions. Likewise, IFRS requires the application of certain mandatory exemptions. Such exemptions have been provided by IASB to simplify the first application of certain IFRS, thus removing the obligatory nature of their retroactive application.

 

The following are exemptions and exemptions that are applicable considering IFRS 1 and were used by the Company in converting the accounting standards in force in Argentina to IFRS:

 

1.IFRS optative exemptions

 

The following are optative exemptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1:

 

1.1.       Exemption of business combinations

 

IFRS 1 presents the option of applying IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” prospectively from the date of transition or from a specific date prior to the date of transition. This allows non-retroactive application that would require restatement of all business combinations prior to the transition date. The Company elected to apply IFRS 3 prospectively to business combinations occurring after the date of transition. Business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date have not been restated.

1.3.       Exemption of designation of previously recognized financial instruments

 

According to IFRS 1, an entity can designate an equity investment as a financial measured at fair value through profit or loss, in accordance with paragraph 5.7.5 of IFRS 9 on the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of transition towards IFRSs.

 

The Company has not made use of the other optional exemptions available in IFRS 1.

 

2.             IFRS mandatory exemptions

 

The following are obligatory exemptions applicable to the Company under IFRS 1:

 

2.1.       Estimates exemption

2.2.Non-controlling interest exemption

 

According to IFRS 1 a first-time adopter shall apply the requirements of IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” prospectively for accounting the shareholders changes in a subsidiary without resulting a loss of control. The Company records non-controlling acquisitions that do not result in control changes at book value, recognizing any difference between received payments and book value in non-controlling interest will account in fiscal year results. The Company has not restated those acquisitions or dispositions prior to the date of transition.

 

2.3.Withdrawals in financial assets and liabilities account exemption

 

IFRS 1 requires that a first-time adopter apply the requirements for derecognition of financial assets and liabilities set by IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” prospectively, for the transactions after January 1, 2017.

 

2.4.Exemption of classification and rating of financial assets

 

IFRS 1 requires that an entity shall assess whether a financial asset meets the conditions to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value with changes in other comprehensive results based on the facts and circumstances that exist at January 1, 2017

 

The other obligatory exemptions in IFRS 1 have not been applied because they are not material to the Company.

3.3.3. Explanation of adjustments

 

a)Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

 

The value of investments at proportional equity value based on adjustments resulting from IFRS transition of said entities was adjusted.

 

4.FAIR VALUES

 

The Group classifies fair values of financial instruments in three levels according to the quality of the data utilized for such classification.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, negotiable or available investments for sale) is based on market quotation prices as of report period date. The market prices utilized in financial assets held by the Group accounts for the current purchase price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not negotiated in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is fixed by means of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies the least possible on specific estimates of the Group. If all variables necessary for the definition of the fair value of a financial instrument are observable variables, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on market observable information, the instrument is included in level 3, such as unlisted capital instruments.

 

The Group´s financial instruments at fair value as of period closing are described as follows:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 03/31/2018 FV level 1 FV level 2 FV level 3
Assets      
- Other financial assets 108,281
- Other debt securities 4,165,238
Total 4,273,519

10.INCOME TAX AND MINIMUM PRESUMED INCOME TAX

 

On December 29, 2017, the National Executive enacted Law 27430 – Income Tax. Such law has introduced several changes in the treatment of income tax which components are as follows:

 

Income tax aliquot: Income tax aliquot for Argentine corporations will be gradually reduced from 35% to 30% for fiscal years starting on January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019 and to a 25% for fiscal years starting and including on January 1, 2020.

 

Dividend tax: A tax on dividends or distributed earnings, among others, from Argentine corporations or permanent plant to: human persons, undivided inheritance, foreign beneficiaries, subject to the following conditions: (i) dividends resulting from general earnings generated during fiscal years staring on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019 shall be subject to a 7% withholding and (ii) dividends generated by earnings produced in fiscal years starting as from January 1, 2020 on shall be subject to a 13% withholding.

 

Dividends generated by beneficiaries until the previous fiscal year starting as from January 1, 2018 will remain subject to, for all beneficiaries of such dividends, the 35% withholding over the amount exceeding distributable untaxed accrued earnings (transition period of the equating tax).

 

Withholding updating: Acquisitions or investments carried out over the course of fiscal years starting on January 1, 2018, will be updated based on percentage changes released by the Index of Minimum Wholesale Prices (IMWP) provided by the National Statistics and Census Institute, situation that shall increase the deductible amortization and its computable cost in the case of sale.

 

The following is the conciliation between the tax applied on results as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the one to be produced after applying the relevant tax rate on the accounting income (Before the tax):

 

  03/31/2018 03/31/2017
Comprehensive Income of the fiscal year Income Tax 775,104 291,806
Tax Rate in Force 30% 35%
Result of fiscal year before Income Tax at the tax rate 232,531 102,132
Permanent differences (at tax rate):    
Result of equity investments (149,079) (76,792)
Breakdown of previous fiscal years (27,682)
Untaxed results (3,301)
Income Tax/(Breakdown) of the period (*) 52,469 25,340

(*) The income tax for the period ended on March 31, 2017 was compensated with breakdowns of previous years.

 

Additionally, minimum presumed income tax is determined by applying the 1% tax over computable assets as of fiscal year closing. This tax complements income tax.

 

The Group’s tax obligation in the fiscal year will coincide with the highest amount of both taxes. However, if, in a fiscal year, the minimum presumed income tax exceeds income tax, such excess may be recorded as a down-payment of any income tax excess over the minimum presumed income tax that might be produced in any of the following ten fiscal years.

 

The evolution of liabilities balance from deferred tax is expressed as follows:

 

Item MF quotas Balance
Balance at the beginning of fiscal year
Changes of the period (2,921) (2,921)
Balance as of period closing  (2,921)  (2,921)

17.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017

 

The following information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting framework set by the Argentine Central Bank in relation with fiscal year ended on December 31, 2017 and happens to be necessary for the understanding of these unaudited interim condensed separate Financial Statements.

 

17.1 Cash and Deposits in Banks

 

Equivalents to cash are held for short term payment commitments rather than investments or similar operations. For a financial investment to be classified as ash equivalent, such investment must be easily converted into a certain cash amount and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in its value. Therefore, such an investment will be equivalent to cash as long as it contains short term maturity dates, three months or less, to be calculated from the acquisition date. Interest in the capital of other entities will be excluded of cash equivalents.

 

Cash and cash equivalents components are described as follows:

 

Item 12/31/2017
Cash and Deposits in Banks 17,171
Mutual Funds 138,957
Cash and cash equivalents 156,128

17.2. Financial Instruments

 

As of year closing, the Group holds the following financial instruments portfolios:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 12/31/2017 Fair Value -
Results

Amortized

Cost

Reasonable
Value - OCI
Total
Assets

Liabilities        
- Financial Debts 25.598 . 25.598
Total Liabilities 25.598 25.598

 

Fair Values

 

The Group classifies fair values of financial instruments in three levels according to the quality of the data utilized for such classification.

 

The Group´s financial instruments measured at fair value as of fiscal year closing are described as follow:

 

Instrument portfolio as of 12/31/2017 FV level 1 FV level 2 FV level 3
Assets      
- Debt securities at fair value through profit or loss 4,182,846
- Other financial assets 138,957
Total Assets 4,321,803

 

The Group’s policy is aimed at the recognition of transfers among Fair Value levels only at fiscal year closing dates; thus, there are no changes in the relation of financial instruments held in portfolio as of December 31, 2017.

 

Fair Value level 1: The fair value of financial instruments in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, negotiable or available investments for sale) is based on market quotation prices as of report period date. The market prices utilized in financial assets held by the Group accounts for the current purchase price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

Fair Value level 2: The fair value of financial instruments which are not negotiated in active markets, such as over-the-counter derivatives, is fixed by means of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable information and relies the least possible on specific estimates of the Group. If all variables necessary for the definition of the fair value of a financial instrument are observable variables, such instrument is included in level 2.

 

Fair Value level 3: If one or more relevant variables are not based on market observable information, the instrument is included in level 3, such as unlisted capital instruments.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

The Group relies on financial instruments which are not valued at fair value. For most of such instruments, the fair value does not differ substantially from their residual value because the payable or receivable interest rate is similar to market rates, or, otherwise, it is a short-term instrument.
