Stock Exchange (<I>Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires</I>&#151;&#147;BCBA&#148; and as a result, would most likely affect the market price of the ADSs. Fluctuations in exchange rates also affect dividend income measured in dollars because that The
Bank of New York, as depositary for the ADSs is required, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, to convert pesos to dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the time of making any dividend payments or other distributions. The following
table shows the rate of devaluation of the peso vis-&agrave;-vis the dollar, the rate of exchange (number of pesos per dollar prevailing in the Argentine foreign exchange market) and the rate of inflation for wholesale prices for fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002 and for the five most recent fiscal years. Since the repeal of the Convertibility Law in January 2002, the peso has devalued approximately 184% vis-&agrave;-vis the dollar. </FONT></P> <P

recession, high level of external indebtedness and peaked country risk, Argentina fell into a delicate economic situation marked by a significant decrease in deposit levels, high interest rates, currency depreciation, a significant decline in the

Argentine financial institutions as a result of the lack of confidence in the country&#146;s economic future and the ability of the Government to sustain the peso&#146;s parity with the dollar. This run on deposits had a material adverse effect on
the Argentine financial system as a whole. For the most part, banks suspended the disbursement of new loans and focused on collection activities to be able to pay their depositors. However, the general unavailability of external or local credit
created a liquidity crisis which triggered numerous payment defaults which in turn undermined the ability of many Argentine banks to pay their depositors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

basis). The main declines were recorded by consumption and domestic investment, as a result of shrinking incomes following the devaluation and subsequent conversion to pesos, combined with the absence of a stable legal framework. In the following
quarters, GDP showed a slight improvement in deseasonalized terms, driven by exporting and import substitution sectors, which benefited from the depreciation of the peso. Even so, output was down 10.9% for the year, because of the predominance of
the fall in activity in service sectors that represent over 60% of GDP. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

caused by the devaluation, increasing 118% for the year. In April the consumer price index (the &#147;CPI&#148;) recorded monthly inflation of 10.4%, but from there peak rates fell steadily month by month to an average rate of 0.3% in the last
quarter of the year. The largest increases took place in Food and Beverages (almost 60% for the year), while service prices recorded substantially lower increases, in part due to the conversion into pesos of public utility rates. Considering that
the Argentine peso devalued by 240% over the year, the pass-through to prices has been notably low, and far below the rate recorded in similar situations in the past, reaching only 16.3% in 2002. This was due mainly to the severe recession and high
level of unemployment that prevented adjustments to nominal wages, leading to a considerable lag in real wages and preventing the transfer to prices of the devaluation in the case of non-tradable goods. </FONT></P> <P

the relative variations in the nominal exchange rate and domestic prices, the performance by exports was still weak. Exports in 2002 were 4.8% lower in value terms than in 2001, mainly as a result of a fall of 4.5% in international prices. Export
volumes showed little dynamism, in spite of the sharp increase in the competitiveness of Argentine products, because of the lack of available finance and the volatility of the exchange rate. Nevertheless, the approximately 56% decline in imports led
to a trade surplus of US$15,547 million, a record for the last 30 years in constant dollar terms. After considerable instability in money markets and a contraction in the demand for pesos in the first six months of the year, the Central Bank began

crude reality of these figures, together with the increase in the cost of the basic food basket, which forced over 50% of the population below the poverty line, drove the government to introduce a program of subsidies for unemployed heads of
household. Mainly because some of the beneficiaries of this program perform jobs in exchange for the benefit, employment levels increased in the October survey, lowering the unemployment rate to 17.8%. In the second part of the year there was also a
modest increase in employment in the private sector as a result of growth in the tradable goods sector. Industrial activity, driven by exports and import substitution, began to recover in April reaching a monthly growth rate of 1.7% in the last

plus an annual interest rate, whereas most of the liabilities remained subject to fixed rates (with a minimum 7 day term for new deposits). Such structural mismatch is growing worse owing to the decrease in the remainder of rescheduled deposits,

condition, results of operations and business prospects. It is still uncertain how future results of operations are going to be impacted by significant pending issues mainly related to the loss stemming from the reimbursement of deposits under
precautionary measures, the adjustment of certain mortgage, personal and pledge loans using the CVS instead of the CER index, the recoverability of Public Sector loans and securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

basis for a large portion of financial institutions&#146; business because said measures have deeply affected the confidence of depositors and investors in the Argentine financial system and have deteriorated the public sentiment towards all
financial institutions. As a result, the role of financial institutions as financial intermediaries has been severely hampered, reducing bank activities for an undetermined period of time to the management of payment mechanisms and the
administration of the remaining loan portfolio, as is currently our case and of the other banks operating in Argentina. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(ii) Pursuant to Decree No. 214/02 and complementary rules, certain of our dollar-denominated assets and liabilities have been pesified at different exchange rates. For
these pesified liabilities and certain pesified assets, an inflation adjustment mechanism has been established. For other pesified assets, a salary adjustment mechanism has been established. Decree No. 214/02 and Decree No. 905/02 provided that the
losses resulting from the &#147;pesification&#148; of certain of our dollar-denominated assets and liabilities together with the devaluation of the peso would be compensated by the Government through the issuance of compensatory bonds and a
methodology for calculating the amount of the compensation. Decree No. 905/02, dated June 1, 2002, provided that the compensation to which a financial entity was entitled would be calculated by taking into account the imbalances created on such
financial institution&#146;s unconsolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, excluding from such balance sheet the assets of its foreign subsidiaries or branches but including, to that effect, certain secured government loans and other loans
which were granted under Argentine law and consequently pesified held by each bank&#146;s foreign branches and subsidiaries which would be considered at the value at which they were registered by the relevant foreign branch or subsidiary.

cover the remaining negative foreign currency position after the pesification, the Bank requested the Central Bank an advance payment to subscribe the above-mentioned bonds up to the concurrence of negative net foreign currency position for the

1998, the economy entered into a long-lasting recession. The gross domestic product, or the GDP, fell 3.4% and 0.8% in 1999 and 2000, respectively. In addition, the government experienced an increasing fiscal deficit of approximately US$4.2 billion,
US$7.3 billion and US$6.9 billion in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. By December of 2001, Argentina&#146;s sovereign debt had increased to approximately US$143.9 billion, an increase of more than 84% from the end of 1994, primarily due to the
inability of the Argentine government to reduce public spending and increase tax collections. In the last quarter of 2001, Argentina&#146;s economic conditions deteriorated significantly, precipitating the political and economic crisis described in

was a significant increase in domestic money supply following the granting of rediscounts to banks. Beginning in July 2002 economic agents began to consider that the depreciation of the peso in real terms had been excessive, and the demand for pesos
began to grow, stabilizing the exchange rate for the dollar. Beginning in October 2002, the peso recovered at a faster rate, and the Central Bank increased its purchases of foreign currency. At the end of 2002 the peso recorded a cumulative

changes, in the first quarter of 2002 the economy recorded its largest reversal in the last 20 years (-16.3% on a year-on-year basis). The main declines were recorded by consumption and domestic investment, as a result of shrinking incomes following
the devaluation and subsequent pesification, combined with the absence of a stable legal framework. In the following quarters, GDP showed a slight improvement in seasonally adjusted terms, driven by exporting and import substitution sectors, which
benefited from the depreciation of the peso. Even so, output was down 10.9% for the year, because of the predominance of the fall in activity in service sectors that represent over 60% of GDP. </FONT></P> <P

recorded monthly inflation of 10.4%, but as from that peak, rates fell steadily month by month to an average rate of 0.3% in the last quarter of the year. The largest increases took place in food and beverages (almost 60% for the year), while
service prices recorded substantially lower increases, in part due to the conversion into pesos of public utility rates. Considering that the peso devalued by 240% over the year, the pass-through to prices was remarkably low, and far below the rate
recorded in similar situations in the past, reaching only 16.3% for the year. This was due mainly to the severe recession and high level of unemployment that prevented adjustments to nominal wages, leading to a considerable fall in real wages and
preventing the transfer to prices of the devaluation in the case of non-tradable goods. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

little dynamism, in spite of the sharp increase in the competitiveness of Argentine products, basically because of the lack of available financing and the volatility of the exchange rate. Nevertheless, the approximately 56% decline in imports led to
a trade surplus of US$16,364 million, a record for the last 30 years in constant dollar terms. After considerable instability in money markets and a contraction in the demand for pesos in the first six months of the year, the Central Bank began to

exports and the impact of inflation on sales taxes such as VAT. Export withholding taxes were introduced in March to help shore up declining revenues by taxing the sectors that benefited from the devaluation, and in the middle of the year rates were
increased from 10% to 20% in the case of cereals and oilseeds and their by-products. Payments on account of the financial transactions tax were eliminated, and these two taxes totaled 1,000 million pesos monthly. Total annual tax revenues increased

figures, together with the increase in the cost of the basic food basket, which placed over 50% of the population below the poverty line, drove the government to introduce a program of subsidies for unemployed heads of household. Mainly because some
of the beneficiaries of this program perform jobs in exchange for the benefit, employment levels increased in the October 2002 survey, lowering the unemployment rate to 17.8%. In the second part of the year there was also a modest increase in
employment in the private sector as a result of growth in the tradable goods sector. Industrial activity, driven by exports and import substitution, began to recover in April reaching an average monthly growth rate of 1.7% in the last quarter of

SIZE="2">In December 2001, in the face of a banking liquidity crisis due to the deposit flight during the year, restrictions were placed on cash withdrawals from bank accounts. In early 2002, with the new Government already in power, measures were
implemented which, far from arousing increased confidence, further aggravated the problems that already existed. In broad terms, these measures included the abandoning of convertibility, the rescheduling and conversion into pesos of foreign currency
deposits, as well as continuation of the cash withdrawal restrictions, which were finally lifted in December 2002. These measures, which were modified on several occasions subsequently, were considered by public opinion and numerous court rulings to
be a violation of property rights and led to strong capital flight in the first half of the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

rates had strengthened, deposits, and term deposits in particular, began to recover, accumulating growth of 12 billion pesos in the second half of the year. Rescheduled deposits, subsequently termed CEDROS (rescheduled certificates of deposit),
declined to close to Ps.20 billion in nominal value, due to several reasons: court orders, releases to settle loans or purchase durable goods and the exchange for dollar-denominated Boden (National Government Bonds) for an amount of approximately
US$5,280 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The private sector repaid loans for a
remarkable amount of 19 billion pesos. Repayment was not made in cash, as advantage was taken of the possibility granted by the Government over a period of several months for the settlement of debt in arrears using bonds, rescheduled deposits or
CEDROS purchased at a discount in the market. As a result, little cash was generated to alleviate the delicate situation of the financial system. Fears of possible restatement on the basis of the CER index or retail inflation, finally limited to
just a few types of loans, mainly to corporations, generated an additional incentive for early settlement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

SIZE="2">Paradoxically, interest rates were &#147;absent&#148; from the financial system in early 2002. The introduction of restrictions on withdrawals, default on the debt, conversion of deposits into pesos and the rescheduling of deposits
virtually wiped out confidence in domestic interest rate investments; in a context of extreme uncertainty, in which the peso was depreciating rapidly, there was no alternative investment with a yield sufficient to compensate for the risk of taking a
position in pesos. In March 2002, the Central Bank began its tenders of Bills (Lebac) with the aim of setting a reference market rate for deposits in pesos, a strategy that became successful in the medium term, as it revived the depressed demand for
pesos. Initially, terms were short (14 days) and the amounts awarded were very low, but yields gradually improved as the outflow of funds from the financial system accelerated in the first six months of the year. Interest rates were negative in real
terms, becoming positive (higher than inflation) as from May, which together with the stability of the dollar provided renewed reasons for the public to invest in domestic currency. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

deposits in the financial system followed the same pattern as the Central Bank bills, with rising interest rates and very short terms initially, gradually lengthening as yields stabilized at lower levels and the stock of bills grew in significance.

estimate that most of this drop was due to the payments of principal and interest made to international lending agencies. While in the first six months of the year heavy losses were recorded because of the Central Bank&#146;s policy of supporting
the exchange rate, reserves almost fully recovered their previous levels in the second half of the year, when financial variables and the exchange rate stabilized and the demand for pesos by the public increased, a situation that persisted for the
remainder of the period. The Central Bank&#146;s exchange market intervention strategy therefore had positive results, as it prevented a rise in the exchange rate and inflation in the first six months of the year. </FONT></P> <P

each lasting approximately six months. The first period, excluding the extraordinary effect of converting the reserves held by banks abroad in dollars at Ps.1.4 per dollar, tended to shrink the monetary base. Although there was a strong increase in
money supply because of the financial assistance provided by the Central Bank to the banking system to help overcome liquidity problems (rediscounts increased by 13.4 billion pesos during the year), it was entirely neutralized by the absorption
derived from the sale of dollars to the private sector by the monetary authority to prevent a rise in the exchange rate. The second period was strongly expansive, with the creation of 8.9 billion pesos (a 44% increase), as the situation was
reversed, with an increase in the demand for local currency, and the Central Bank issuing pesos to purchase the surplus dollars in the private sector, mainly from exporters. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

bonds was temporarily suspended. However, in order to restrict fund outflows from the financial system, a new law was passed that required banks to release deposits only when injunctions had been issued pursuant to final non-appealable decisions.

up to Ps.100,000 and (iii) over Ps.100,000. The return of the applicable amounts to depositors who exercised this option was the responsibility of the financial institutions (which should return the amount in pesos adjusted upon application of the

changes in their respective nominal interest rates for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 .
Volume and rate variances have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the period and changes in nominal interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The net change attributable to
changes in both volume and rate has been allocated to volume. Trading and yield on government securities available for sale and investment accounts results are included in the computation of interest income in all fiscal years. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The loan classification system is a bifurcated system, which requires the application of one set of
criteria to classify loans in a bank&#146;s &#147;consumer&#148; portfolio, and another set of criteria to classify loans in a bank&#146;s &#147;commercial&#148; portfolio. The principal criterion applied to loans in the consumer portfolio is
delinquency aging, while the principal criterion applied to loans in the commercial portfolio is the borrower&#146;s ability to pay, as measured by such borrower&#146;s future cash flow. We may opt to apply the consumer loan classification criteria
to commercial loans of up to Ps.200,000. Under the loan classification system, all loans to a single borrower are classified under the loan category with the highest risk represented by any of such borrower&#146;s loans. If a borrower has both kinds
of loans (commercial and consumer), the consumer or mortgage loans will be added to the commercial portfolio to determine under which portfolio they should be classified based on the amount indicated, for which purpose, a 50% weighting was applied
to senior secured loans. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">According to Central Bank
regulations, the minimum provisions established are applicable to the total debt, regardless of whether it is overdue. In order to classify borrowers during the months of December 2001 and January 2002, on March 1, 2002 the Central Bank in
Communication &#147;A&#148; 3418 extended for an additional 31 days and 62 days, respectively, the term allowed for arrears with respect of levels 1 and 2 of the commercial and consumer portfolios. Through Communication &#147;A&#148; 3463, the
Central Bank subsequently extended the additional term to cover February 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

believe that recovery is unlikely and in any event no later than seven months after a loan has been classified as &#147;irrecoverable&#148; without preferred guarantees. We continue to try to collect all amounts past due, even if they have been
charged off, if we believe that the likelihood of collecting such amounts justifies the commitment of resources to do so. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

commercial banks, including 16 government-owned or government-related banks and 77 privately owned banks. Consolidation in the Argentine banking system has begun and will likely continue because the Government encourages consolidation. The principal
regulators of financial institutions in Argentina are the Central Bank, the <I>Superintendencia de Entidades Financieras y Cambiarias</I> (the Superintendency of Financial institutions and Exchanges, referred to as the &#147;Superintendency&#148;)

following: Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A., Banco R&iacute;o de la Plata S.A., Banco Franc&eacute;s, Bank Boston N.A., and Citibank N.A. Some of these banks, including Banco Franc&eacute;s, have one or more significant foreign investors.
According to information published by the Central Bank, at September 30, 2002, private financial institutions accounted for approximately 58.22%, of deposits and approximately 61.70% of gross loans in the Argentine financial system. In addition, the
ten largest private financial institutions accounted for 46.42% of all deposits and 53.56% of all loans in the Argentine financial system. The largest foreign banks at such date were Bank Boston, N.A. and Citibank N.A. Foreign banks compete under

Financial institutions Law regulates banking activities in Argentina and places the supervision and control of the Argentine banking system in the hands of the Central Bank, an autonomous institution. The Financial Institutions Law provides the
Central Bank with broad access to the accounting systems, books, correspondence, documents and other papers of banking institutions. The Central Bank regulates the provision of credit and supervises the liquidity and the general operation of the
Argentine financial markets. The Central Bank enforces the Financial Institutions Law and authorizes banks to operate in Argentina. This law distinguishes between public and private financial institutions. It was amended in February 1994 to
eliminate the previous distinctions between locally owned and foreign owned private financial institutions. The Central Bank does not have the authority to supervise the liquidation of financial institutions nor the responsibility for giving primary
assistance to public or private financial institutions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Central Bank carries out formal inspections from time to time of all banking institutions to monitor their compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. If a bank does not comply with the technical ratios, it must explain it to the Central
Bank. There are specific regulations governing reinstatement plans and other measures </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

information relating to reserve funds, use of deposits and indications on portfolio quality, including details on principal debtors and any loan-loss provisions established. The reports are designed to allow the Central Bank to monitor the

revocation of a bank&#146;s operating license. Moreover, noncompliance with certain rules may result in the obligatory presentation to the Central Bank of specific capital adequacy or regularization plans. These plans must be approved by the Central
Bank for a bank to maintain its license. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additionally, the

the Central Bank was also allowed until December 2003 to grant financial assistance to financial institutions whose solvency has been affected. Before these measures, the Central Bank had limitations on its ability to make loans or otherwise extend
financial assistance to banks with financial difficulties. Primarily, such assistance could not be granted, other than in exceptional circumstances, for more than 30 days or if it would affect the Central Bank&#146;s foreign currency reserves.

CAMEL system corresponds to the following areas of the operations of each bank that is being rated: &#147;C&#148; represents capital, &#147;A&#148; represents assets, &#147;M&#148; represents management, &#147;E&#148; represents earnings and
&#147;L&#148; represents liquidity. Each factor is evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the highest rating an institution can receive. By combining the individual factors that are under evaluation, a combined index can be obtained
which represents the final rating for the entity. The rating a bank receives from the CAMEL system can be used by the Central Bank in making decisions such as determining the levels of minimum capital or the amount of contributions a bank is
required to contribute to the insurance guarantee system. According to the letter presented by the Central Bank on November 30, 2000, we were granted a quality rating of 1. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

levels of inflation. Although inflation tempered and the economy experienced growth during most of the period from 1991 to the middle of 1998, in the third quarter of 1998, the economy entered into a long lasting recession. The gross domestic
product, or the GDP, fell 3.4 % and 0.8 % in 1999 and 2000, respectively. In addition, the Government experienced an increasing fiscal deficit of approximately US$4.2 billion, US$7.3 billion and US$6.9 billion in 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
By December of 2001, Argentina&#146;s sovereign debt had increased to approximately US$143.9 billion, a more than 84 % increase from the end of 1994, primarily due to the inability of the Government to reduce public spending and increase tax

and fixing a limit of US$3 billion for 1997 (which is equivalent to approximately 1.0% of the GDP). After verifying that the government had complied with the 1996 goals, the IMF granted US$154 million to the Government. In addition to this, on
February 14, 1998, the IMF approved a 3-year stand-by credit for US$2.8 billion. Among other short-term goals, the agreement between Argentina and the IMF determined that Argentina should not exceed a fiscal deficit of US$3.5 billion in 1998. The
Government also undertook to limit the 1998 trade deficit to US$5.0 billion. If in any month of 1998, the accumulated 12-month deficit in the trade balance (considering imports on a CIF basis) exceeded US$5.0 billion, the Government, in consultation
with the IMF, agreed to take corrective fiscal and/or credit measures. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

billion and a term of up to 3 years. Pursuant to the agreement, the Government undertook to achieve fiscal equilibrium by 2002. However, due to the confidence crisis which affected the Argentine economy during the last quarter of 2000, an agreement
of a US$39.7 billion economic support package led by the IMF was signed in December 2000 to ease fears of a possible debt default and contain the deterioration of Argentina&#146;s country risk. Under this agreement, the federal budget deficit would
be reduced to zero by 2005. In December 2001, however, the IMF announced that it would not disburse anticipated financial aid to Argentina. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

disbursements under existing lending programs involving Argentina would require evidence of a stronger commitment by the Government to budgetary restraint, improving methods of tax collection, forcefully reforming the tax revenue-sharing method
between the Government and the Provinces, and restructuring the foreign indebtedness on which Argentina has defaulted. Some of the factors cited as limiting the sustainability of any IMF-led recovery plan included the periodic intervention by the
Central Bank in the foreign exchange market to contain accelerations in the depreciation of the peso against the dollar, the issuance of quasi-currency instruments that hamper control over the monetary base and a perceived lack of independence and
reliability in the judiciary and its proceedings. The Government resumed talks with the IMF during 2002 and continued to service both interest and principal payments to multilateral creditors regularly until November of that year when a capital

does not change the tax treatment of debt securities in the form of corporate bonds issued by financial institutions such as Banco Franc&eacute;s. In general, the tax reforms impose: (i) a new tax on interest (or accumulated original issuance
discounts) that was derogated on July 2002; (ii) restrictions on the availability of tax deductions for interest payments; and (iii) a tax withholding of 35% over all interest payments on corporate bonds owned by Argentine legal persons, except
those made to authorized banks in Argentina. As of yet the provisions of the tax reforms have not been totally regulated by the Executive Branch (or some other governmental entity) nor have they been interpreted by any court. Consequently, it is not

interest-bearing liabilities decreased 27.19% from Ps.18.6 billion in fiscal 2001 to Ps. 13.5 billion in fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. This decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in volume of time deposits, saving deposits and other
liabilities, partially offset by an increase in volume of borrowings from Central Bank. Average dollar-denominated time deposits decreased 91.46% from Ps.10,605.9 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.905.4 million in fiscal year
ended December 31, 2002. Average peso-denominated time deposits grew 510.83% to Ps.4,544.7 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, from Ps.744.0 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. Average dollar-denominated and peso-denominated

bonds issued increased 15.07% from Ps.1,103.9 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.1,270.3 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (mainly due to the effect of devaluation from an exchange rate of US$1 = Ps.1 to an average of
US$1 = Ps.3; partially offset by the payment of two series of short term corporate bonds and to the capitalization of subordinated corporate bonds in December 2002). Borrowings from Central Bank increased 5,149.80% from Ps.30.3 million in fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001 to Ps.1,589.4 million in fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 mainly due to the financial assistance received during the liquidity crisis of fiscal 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

effective rate is principally due to the following factors. First, the income from local subsidiaries and income from swapped public bonds to public loans in fiscal 2001 are tax exempt, and depreciation of goodwill is not tax deductible. Second,
effective tax rate is affected by the different treatment of loan loss provisions for financial and tax reporting purposes. For fiscal 2001 allowance, the allowance made on public loans is not tax deductible. Finally, Government Securities are
generally marked-to-market for tax reporting purposes, with unrealized gains and losses included in taxable income, even if such securities are carried on a cost-plus-yield basis for financial reporting purposes. See note 4.4.17 to the consolidated
financial statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Minority interest in subsidiaries </I></FONT></P> <P

million at December 31, 2001 to Ps.1,042.9 million at December 31, 2002), mainly due to the liquidity crisis of fiscal 2002; and a 42.07% decrease in Intangible assets (from Ps.373.0 million at December 31, 2001 to Ps.216.0 million at December 31,

deposits, lawsuits brought by depositors to get back their deposits in cash and in their original currency, and the maturing of our foreign currency liabilities. As of December 31, 2002, we had repaid a total of approximately US$514.0 million and

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">A key component of our asset and liability policy is the management of interest rate sensitivity. Interest rate sensitivity is the exposure and the
measure of sensitivity to interest rate variations. The interest rate sensitivity measures the impact on the gross intermediation margin in response to a change in market interest rates. For any given period, the pricing structure is matched when an
equal amount of assets and liabilities reprice. Any mismatch of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is known as a gap position and is shown in the following tables. A negative gap denotes liability sensitivity and normally means
that a decline in interest rates would have a positive effect on net interest income while an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on interest income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our interest rate sensitivity strategy takes into account not only the rates of return and their underlying degree of risk,
but also liquidity requirements, including minimum regulatory cash reserves, mandatory liquidity ratios, withdrawal and maturity of deposits and additional demands for funds. Our gap limits are established and subsequently monitored by the Asset and
Liability Management Committee. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following table shows the

SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is important to highlight that given the devaluation of the peso and the following conversion into pesos of assets and liabilities in
foreign currency, the Government measures introduced an important interest rate gap in our Net Financial Income. While rescheduled deposits, Ps. 2,000 million as of December 31, 2002, were converted into pesos at a Ps.1.4 per dollar, and subject to
CER adjustment plus a 2% annual interest rate, the remaining liabilities accrued fixed rate. On the asset side, the majority of risk assets, mainly Public sector loans and bonds, accrue CER adjustment plus an annual interest rate and certain
mortgage, personal and pledge loans accrue CVS instead of CER adjustment, plus an annual interest rate. Adjusted assets and liabilities together with fixed rate assets and liabilities are included in the following chart in the 0-3 months interval
given that CER and CVS adjustment changes on a monthly basis. The chart shows our exposure to a positive interest rate gap, but it is important to bear in mind that CER and CVS behavior may differ from that of the interest rate. <B><U></U></B>

Usually, the overwhelming majority of all Argentine equity trades take place on the BCBA. As of December 31, 2002, the shares of 114 Argentine companies, excluding mutual funds, were listed on the BCBA. As of December 31, 2002, the 10 most actively

methods that takes into account many variables that may cause a change in the value of our portfolios, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, securities prices and volatility and any correlations among the foregoing. </FONT></P> <P

deterioration in its economy which led the Federal Government to enact a series of measures, including: a) the announcement of the default in paying most of its public debt, b) the devaluation of the Argentine currency, c) the mandatory conversion
of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into pesos, and d) restrictions of depositors on withdrawal of funds deposited in the financial entities. Additionally, the economic crisis resulted in a significant increase in domestic
prices, a significant decrease in deposits in financial entities and a worsening in the debtors&#146; payment capacity. Such measures, as well as the resulting effects of the economic crisis, have significantly affected the financial system as a
whole as well as the Bank and its subsidiaries. As of the date of issuance of this report, the Government is considering various measures in order to address the effects of the crisis and resolve the structural problems inherent in both the

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As explained in detail in note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, during the last few months profound changes were introduced into the Argentine economic
framework and the Convertibility Law, which pegged the Argentine peso at par with the US dollar and had been in effect since 1991, was amended; such changes included the devaluation of the Argentine peso in relation to the US dollar and the
mandatory conversion of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency into pesos&#151;the effects of which are to recognized in the following fiscal year, in accordance with the rules prescribed by the BCRA&#151;as well as severe
restrictions on withdrawal of funds from the financial system and on fund transfers abroad. The future development of the economic crisis may require further measures from the Argentine Federal Government and the BCRA. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements should be read taking into account the issues mentioned above. As mentioned in note 14 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Bank and its subsidiaries hold securities issued by the Argentine federal
government and governments of Argentine provinces and carry receivables from credit assistance to customers in the non-financial governmental sector and the non-financial private sector. In view of the situation described above, it is not possible
to determine the future effects that the prolongation of the economic crisis that Argentina is undergoing could have on the recoverability of the accounting value of such holding and financing. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

consolidated financial statements, the measures adopted by the Argentine Federal Government significantly affected the liquidity, solvency and profitability of the financial system as a whole, which made it necessary for the Argentine government and
the BCRA to adopt further regulations to moderate the above mentioned effects and foster the restructuring of the financial system; such additional regulations are currently being issued and implemented, and it is uncertain whether the restructuring
of the financial system as a whole and the Bank&#146;s own plans and actions will allow it to continue its operations and meet the solvency and liquidity ratios required by the BCRA. This situation and the final outcome of the uncertainties related
to the recoverability of the assets mentioned above in paragraph 5. could continue to affect the financial position and equity of the Bank and its subsidiaries and give rise to a substantial doubt about the Bank&#146;s ability to continue as a going
concern. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2001 do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely
than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2001, as a result of the deteriorating economic and financial situation in Argentina, a valuation allowance of 337,084 was recorded to reserve for the Bank&#146;s operating loss carryforwards because
management believed that it was more likely than not that these assets would not be recovered. During 2002, it became apparent to management that the economic crisis was more severe and the economic recovery in Argentina was further off than
originally anticipated. Accordingly, the Bank provided a further valuation allowance of Ps.1,806,935 in order to fully reserve for its remaining unreserved net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2002. </FONT></P> <P

by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan&#148; and SFAS N&ordm; 118, &#147;Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan&#151;Income Recognition and Disclosures&#148; for computing U.S. GAAP adjustments. SFAS N&ordm; 114, as amended by SFAS N&ordm;
118, requires a creditor to measure impairment of a loan based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan&#146;s effective interest rate, or at the loan&#146;s observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. This Statement is applicable to all loans (including those restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms), except large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Bank considers commercial loans over 200 for individual impairment evaluations. Loans are considered impaired when, based on management&#146;s evaluation, a borrower will not be able to fulfill its
obligation under the original terms of the loan. SFAS N&ordm; 118 amends the income recognition provisions that had been included in SFAS N&ordm; 114. Management believes that the effect of the application of these pronouncements on the U.S. GAAP
reconciliations of consolidated net income and stockholders&#146; equity is not material. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:5%"><FONT

prevailing in Argentina. This revaluation was recorded in the &#147;Adjustments to stockholders&acute; equity&#148; caption. Under BCRA rules, when an asset which had been revalued is sold at a loss, the loss is recorded directly to
&#147;Adjustments to stockholders&acute; equity&#148; to the extent of the original revaluation. Under U.S. GAAP, the technical valuation is considered to be a permanent addition to equity and, accordingly, any loss on the sale of an asset which was
revalued would be reflected in net income. There has been no sale of revalued assets during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. Consequently, the balance related to the previously mentioned revaluation included in the

reporting earnings per share (EPS). It requires that entities with simple capital structures present basic per share amounts for income for continuing operations and net income on the face of the income statement. All other entities subject to SFAS

liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset. An entity shall measure changes in the liability for an asset retirement obligation due to passage of time by applying an interest method of allocation to the amount of the liability at the beginning of the period. The interest
rate used to measure that change shall be the credit-adjusted risk-free rate that existed when the liability was initially measured. That amount shall be recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the liability and as an expense classified
as an operating item in the statement of operations. SFAS No. 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing operations or in discontinued operations. SFAS No. 144 also broadens the reporting requirements of discontinued operations to include all
components of an entity that have operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for fiscal years beginning
