1570/ and others following petitions for protection of civil rights under Law No.&nbsp;16.986&#148; dated December&nbsp;27, 2006, the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice confirmed by the majority vote of its members the validity of the emergency
legislation enacted from 2001 and until the date of that pronouncement; i.e., the Supreme Court accepted the re-denomination into Pesos of deposits as well as the calculation methodology for the reimbursement of the bank deposits subject to the
emergency regime imposed by the Argentine Government which unconstitutionality was claimed in the case mentioned. This decision by the Supreme Court of Justice establishes a calculation modality different from the modality decreed by the Executive
Branch, establishing in this particular case the following criteria: each depositor is entitled to receive from the banking institution a reimbursement of the amount deposited converted into Pesos a the US$1 = AR$ 1.40 exchange rate, adjusted by CER
until the date of effective payment, plus compensatory interest at the annual, non compoundable 4% interest rate accruing as from the establishment of restrictions upon the availability of bank deposits or as from the date of maturity of the deposit
if it was subsequent to February&nbsp;28, 2002 subject to the monetary limit resulting from the decision handed down by the Court of Appeals, in so far as its judgment has not been appealed by the plaintiff. This criterion remains in a more recent
judgment, &#147;Kujarchuk versus the Argentine Executive Branch&#148;, in which The Supreme Court of Justice lays down the methodology consisting in calculating the amount to be reimbursed in Pesified deposits in the event there had been partial
reimbursements or deliveries through a comparison to the amounts withdrawn by the bank as a result of decisions handed down by a court or resulting from out-of-court arrangements. Those payments shall be deemed to be partial payments and that a

presumed income (TOMPI) was established by Law No.&nbsp;25,063 in the year ended December&nbsp;31, 1998, for a ten-year term. As of the date of issuance of these statements, the extension applicable to subsequent fiscal years is still pending. This
tax is supplementary to income tax: while the latter is levied on the taxable income for the year, TOMPI is a minimum levy determined by applying the current 1% rate on the potential income of certain productive assets. Therefore, the Bank&#146;s
tax obligation for each year will coincide with the highest of these taxes. The above Law provides that institutions governed by Financial Institutions Law must consider as a tax base 20% of their taxable assets, after deducting non-computable ones.
However, if TOMPI exceeds income tax in a given year, the excess thereof may be computed as a payment on account of any income tax in excess of TOMPI that may occur in any of the following ten years. </FONT></P> <P
