D. | RISK FACTORS |
Investors should consider the following risks and uncertainties, and the other informationfactors presented in this Annual Report. In addition, the factorsinformation referred to below, as well as all other information presented in this Annual Report, should be considered by investors when reviewing any forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, in any document incorporated by reference in this Annual Report, in any of the Bank’s future public filings or press releases, or in any future oral statements made by the Bank or any of its officers or other persons acting on its behalf. If any of the following risks occur, the Bank’s business, results of operations and financial condition, its ability to raise capital and its ability to access funding could be materially and adversely affected. These risk factors should not be considered a complete list of potential risks that may affect Bancolombia.
Risk Factors Relating to Colombia and Other Countries Where the Bank Operates.
Changes in economic and political conditions in Colombia, and El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala or in the other countries where the Bank operates may adversely affect the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank’s financial condition, results of operations and asset quality are significantly dependent on the macroeconomic and political conditions prevailing in Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala and the other jurisdictions in which the Bank operates. Accordingly, decreases in the growth rate, periods of negative growth, increases in inflation, changes in policy, or future judicial interpretations of policies involving exchange controls and other matters such as (but not limited to) currency depreciation, inflation, interest rates, taxation, banking laws and regulations and other political or economic developments in or affecting Colombia, El Salvador or the othersuch jurisdictions where the Bank operates may affect the overall business environment and may in turn impact the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations.
In particular, the Governmentsgovernments of Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and El Salvador have historically exercised substantial influence on their economies, and their policiesthey are likely to continue to implement policies that will have an important effectimpact on Colombianthe business and Salvadorianresults of operations of the entities in such countries (including the Bank), market conditions and prices and rates of return on securities of local issuers (including the Bank’s securities). Potential changes in laws, public policies and regulations may cause instability and volatility in Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and itsEl Salvador, and their respective markets.
Future developments in Governmentgovernment policies could impair the Bank’s business or financial condition or the market value of its securities.
The economies of the countries wherein which the Bank operates are vulnerable to external effects that could be caused by significant economic difficulties experienced by their major regional trading partners or by more general “contagion”contagion effects, which could have a material adverse effect on such countries economic growth in these countries and their ability to service their public debt.
A significant decline in the economic growth or a sustained economic downturn of any of Colombia’s, or El Salvador’s, Panama’s or Guatemala’s major trading partners (i.e., the European Union, the United States, China Venezuela and Ecuadorother Latin American countries for Colombia and the United States and European Union for El Salvador)Salvador and Panama) could have a material adverse impact on Colombia’s, and El Salvador’s, Guatemala’s and Panama’s balance of trade and remittances inflows, resulting in lower economic growth.
Deterioration in the economic and political situation of neighboring countries could affect the national stability or the Colombian economy of Colombia, Panama, El Salvador and Guatemala by disrupting Colombia’stheir diplomatic or commercial relationships with theseneighboring countries. PoliticalAny future tensions between Colombia and Venezuela in recent years have produced lower trade levels that have adversely impacted economic activity. Although relations with Venezuela have improved significantly with the current Government, the possibility of any further resurgence in tensions between the two countries may cause political and economic uncertainty, instability, market volatility, lowerlow confidence levels and higher risk aversion by investors and market participants that may negatively affect economic activity in Colombia and El Salvador.any of those jurisdictions.
A contagion effect, in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors, could negatively affect Colombia and El Salvador or other economies where the bankBank operates, (i.e., Panama, Cayman Islands, Peru and Puerto Rico), as well as the market prices and liquidity of securities issued or owned by the Bank.
Any additional taxes resulting from changes to tax regulations or the interpretation thereof in Colombia, El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala or other countries wherein which the Bank operates, could adversely affect the Bank’s consolidated results.
Uncertainty relating to tax legislation poses a constant risk to the Bank. Changes in legislation, regulation and jurisprudence can affect tax burdens by increasing tax rates and fees, creating new taxes, limiting stated expenses and deductions, and eliminating incentives and non-taxed income. Notably, the Colombian and Salvadorian Governmentsgovernments have significant fiscal deficits that may result in future tax increases. Additional tax regulations could be implemented that could requirerequiring the Bank to make additional tax payments and negatively affecting its results of operations and cash flow. In addition, national or local taxing authorities may not interpret tax regulations in the same way that the Bank does. Differing interpretations could result in future tax litigation and associated costs.
Exchange rate volatilityfluctuations may adversely affect the Colombian economy, the market price of ourthe Bank’s ADSs, and the dividends payable to holders of the Bank’s ADSs.
Colombia has adopted a floating exchange rate system. The Colombian Central Bank maintains the power to intervene in the exchange market in order to consolidate or dispose of international reserves, and to control any volatility in the exchange rate. From time to time, including during 2015, there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Colombian peso and the U.S. dollar. Unforeseen events in the international markets, fluctuations in interest rates, volatility of the oil price in the international markets, or changes in capital flows, may cause exchange rate instability that could generate sharp movements in the value of the peso. Given that a portion of ourthe Bank’s assets and liabilities are denominated in, or indexed to, foreign currencies, especially the U.S. dollar, sharp movements in exchange rates may negatively impact the Bank’s results. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations may adversely impact the value of dividends paid to holders of the Bank’s ADSs as well as the market price and liquidity of ADSs.
Colombia has experienced several periods of violence and instability and such instabilitythat could affect the economy and the Bank.
Colombia has experienced several periods of criminal violence over the past four decades, primarily due to the activities of guerilla groups and drug cartels. In response, the Colombian Government has implemented various security measures and has strengthened its military and police forces by creating specialized units, and currentlygovernment is in the process of negotiating a peace treaty with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia or “FARC”) (FARC). Despite these efforts, drug-related crime and guerilla activity continue to exist in Colombia. These activities, their possible escalation and the violence associated with them may have a negative impact on the Colombian economy or on the Bank in the future. The Bank’s business or financial condition and the market value of the Bank’s securities and any dividends distributed by it, could be adversely affected by rapidly changing economic and social conditions in Colombia and by the Colombian Government’sgovernment’s response to such conditions.
Risk Factors Relating to the Bank’s Business and the Banking Industry
Our financial results may be negatively affected by changes to accounting standards.
We report our results and financial position in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Changes to IFRS or interpretations thereof may cause our future reported results and financial position to differ from current expectations, or historical results to differ from those previously reported due to the adoption of accounting standards on a retrospective basis. Such changes may also affect our regulatory capital and ratios. We monitor potential accounting changes and when these are finalized by the IASB, we determine the potential impact and disclose significant future changes in our financial statements. Currently, there are a number of issued but not yet effective IFRS changes, as well as potential IFRS changes, some of which could be expected to impact our reported results, financial position and regulatory capital in the future. For example, IFRS 9, when fully adopted, will require us to record loans at inception net of expected losses instead of recording credit losses on an incurred loss basis.
Our financial results may be negatively affected by changes to assumptions supporting the value of our goodwill.
The goodwill that we have recognized on the respective balance sheets of our operating segments is tested for impairment at least annually. Our impairment test in respect of the assets recognized as of December 31, 2015 indicated that our respective goodwill balances are not impaired. The impairment test is based on assumptions regarding estimated earnings, discount rates and long-term growth rates impacting the recoverable amount of each segment and on estimates of the carrying amounts of the segments to which the goodwill relates. If the estimated earnings and other assumptions in future periods deviate from the current outlook, the value of the goodwill in any one or more of our businesses may become impaired in the future, giving rise to losses in the income statement.
Changes in banking laws and regulations in Colombia and in other jurisdictions wherein which the Bank operates could adversely affect the Bank’s consolidated results.
Changes in banking laws and regulations, or in their official interpretation, in Colombia and in other jurisdictions wherein which the Bank operates, may have a material effect on the Bank’s business and operations. Since banking laws and regulations change frequently, they could be adopted, enforced or interpreted in a manner that may have an adverse effect on the Bank’s business.
Although Bancolombia currently complies with applicable capital requirements, there can be no assurance that future regulation will not change or require Bancolombia or its subsidiaries to seek additional capital. Moreover, regulators in other jurisdictions have not reached consensus as to the appropriate level of capitalization for financial services institutions. Regulators in the jurisdictions wherein which Bancolombia operates may alter the current regulatory capital requirements to which Bancolombia is subject and thereby require equity increases that could dilute existing stockholders, lead to required asset sales or adversely impact the return on stockholders’ equity and/or the market price of the Bank’s common and preferred shares.
In 2012, a new regulation relating to capital adecquacy requirements (Decree 1771 of 2012) was issued. For further details on the changes set forth in the new regulations, see“Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview - B.8 Supervision and Regulation - capital adecquacy requirements”.
BankingFurthermore, banking laws and regulations accounting standards and corporate disclosure applicable tomay create new types of financial entities whose services could compete with the segments or services offered by the Bank, and, therefore, its subsidiaries differ from those in the United States and other countries.
While many of the policies underlying Colombian banking regulations are similar to those underlying regulations applicable to banks in other countries, including those in the United States, Colombian regulations can differ in a number of material respects. For example, capital adequacy requirements for banks under Colombian regulations differ from those under U.S. regulations and may differ from those in effect in other countries. The Bank prepares its annual audited financial statements in accordance with Colombian banking GAAP, which differs from U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Thus, Colombian financial statements and reported earnings may differ from those of companies in other countriesresults in these and other respects. Some of the differences affecting earnings and stockholders’ equity include, but are not limited to the accounting treatment for restructuring, loan origination fees and costs, equity tax, securitization, fair value adjustment in debt securities, deferred income taxes and the accounting treatment for business combinations. Moreover, under Colombian banking GAAP, allowances for non-performing loans are computed by establishing each non-performing loan’s individual inherent risk using criteria established by the SFC that differ from those used under U.S. GAAP. See “Item 4. Information on the Company – E. Selected Statistical Information – E.4. Summary of Loan Loss Experience – Allowance for Loan Losses”.
The Colombian Government is currently undertaking a review of present regulations relating to accounting, audit, and information disclosure, with the intention of seeking convergence with international standards. Nevertheless, current regulations continue to differ in certain respects from those in other countries. In addition, theresegments or services may be less publicly available information about the Bank than is regularly published by or about U.S. issuers or issuers in other countries and any changes in those regulations would become effective in 2015.adversely affected.
The Bank is subject to regulatory inspections, examinations, inquiries or audits in Colombia and in other countries wherein which it operates, and any sanctions, fines and other penalties resulting from such inspections and audits could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision by the banking authorities of Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and the other jurisdictions in which the Bank operates. These regulatory authorities have broad powers to adopt regulations and impose other requirements affecting or restricting virtually all aspects of the Bank’s capitalization, organization and operations, including the imposition of anti-money laundering measures and the authority to regulate the terms and conditions of credit that can be appliedextended by banks. In the event of non-compliance with applicable regulations, the Bank could be subject to fines, sanctions or the revocation of licenses or permits to operate its business. In Colombia, for instance, in the eventif the Bank encounters significant financial problems or becomes insolvent or in danger of becoming insolvent, banking authorities would have the power to take over the Bank’s management and operations. In addition, the supervisory authorities of Colombia and El Salvador have reached an agreement for consolidated supervision which allows them to perform transnational inspection processes. Any sanctions, fines and other penalties resulting from non-compliance with regulations in Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and in the other jurisdictions wherein which the Bank operates could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
An increase in constitutional public interest actions (acciones populares), class actions (acciones de grupo) and other legal actions involving claims for significant monetary awards against financial institutions may affect the Bank’s businesses and results of operations.
Under the Colombian Constitution, individuals may initiate constitutional public interest or class actions to protect their collective or class rights, respectively. Colombian financial institutions, including the Bank, have experienced a substantial increase in the aggregatehigh number of these actions. The great majority of such actions have been related to fees, financial services and interest rates, and their outcome is uncertain. Pursuant to lawLaw 1425 of 2010, monetary awards for plaintiffs in constitutional actions or class actions were eliminated as of January 1, 2011. Nevertheless, individuals continue to have the right to initiate these actions against the Bank.
Future restrictions on interest rates or banking fees could negatively affect the Bank’s profitability.
In the future, regulations in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates could impose limitations regarding interest rates or fees charged by the Bank. Any such limitations could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial situation.
In the past, there have been disputes in Colombia among commercial businesses, payment service providers and banks regarding credit card interbank exchange fees (tarifa interbancaria de intercambio). Although such disputes have been resolved, the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce and mayhas the authority to initiate new investigations relating to such fees. This possibilityAny new investigations may lead to requirements that the Bank applies additional decreases, which in turn could impact the Bank’s financial results.
Furthermore, pursuant to article 62 of lawLaw 1430 of 2010 Congress granted the GovernmentColombian government has power and authority to establish and define criteria and formulas applicable to the calculation of banking fees and charges and define maximum limits. In 2011, the government used such authority to define maximum limits to banking fees and charges. On December 20, 2011 the Government used the authority granted by law 1430 of 2010 and enacted Decree 4809 of 2011 in which it set forth caps to the bank fees that may be charged on ATM withdrawals through ATMs outside their ownof each bank’s respective networks. Currently, there is a regulatory initiative that eliminates fees that banks may charge on ATM withdrawals.
Currently, an initiativeAdditionally, in past years, there have been regulatory initiatives regarding banking fees. Although such initiatives were not approved by Congress in the past, there are new initiatives pursuing similar restrictions on banking fees. If a law regarding banking fees is being discussed in Congress,enacted, the Bank might be prohibited from charging for certain services or types of transactions to its clients, which could have a negative effect on our results of operations and has been approved in its first debate out of four needed for it to become a law. If the law were enacted banks would need to cease charging transactional and service fees from those individuals whose income is equal or under two SMMLV, provided that this benefit would only apply to one savings account per individual. However, the likelihood of this initiative becoming a law is uncertain given that there have been two similar unsuccessful initiatives discussed in Congress in recent years.financial condition.
In addition, recent Law 1555 of 2012 prohibits prepayment penalties for loans worth less than 880 SMMLV, (mortgageand prepayment of mortgage loans are excluded).is allowed with no penalties without regard to the amount of the loan.
Further limitsAlso, In December 2015, Congress enacted a law that orders banks to transfer funds in inactive bank accounts to an education financing public entity. In case the accountholder withdraws its funds, banks must pay them with its own funds, and then request reimbursement from the education financing public entity.
Colombian tax haven regulation could adversely affect the Bank’s business and financial results.
Decree 1966 of 2014 modified by Decree 2095 of 2014, designates 37 jurisdictions as tax havens for Colombian tax purposes (although neither Panama nor other countries in which the Bank operates, were included on this list). As a result of the tax haven regulation the Bank’s clients who are residents in such jurisdictions would be subject to (i) higher withholding tax rates including a higher withholding rate on interest and dividends derived from investments in the Colombian securities market, (ii) the transfer pricing regime and its reporting duties, (iii) enhanced ability on the part of Colombian authorities to qualify a conduct as abusive under tax regulations, (iv) non-deductibility of payments made to such residents or regulations regarding banking feesentities located in tax havens, unless the required tax amount has been withheld and uncertainties with respect thereto,(v) additional information disclosure requirements, any of which could have a negative effectimpact on ourBancolombia’s business and financial results.
In order to avoid Panama’s designation as a tax haven, Colombia and Panama signed a memorandum of understanding which establishes that both countries will negotiate a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation. This treaty is expected to include provisions regarding the exchange of information between Colombian and Panamanian tax authorities. The deadline for execution of the treaty was September 30, 2015, which was extended to November 30, 2015, but as of date there is no known consequence for not executing such treaty within the deadline. Failure to execute a treaty, or the designation of Panama as a tax haven, could result in a negative impact on the Bank’s customer base and, therefore, a potential negative impact on the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank and most of its subsidiariesSubsidiaries are subject to the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010.
Bancolombia and most of its subsidiaries are considered foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”) under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010 (“FATCA”) (see “Item 4. Information on the Company – B. Business Overview – B.8. Supervision and Regulation – International regulations applicable to Bancolombia and its subsidiaries”). Given the size and the scope of our group’sthe Bank’s international operations, we intend to take all necessary steps to comply with FATCA (including entering into agreements with the U.S. tax authority)authorities and transmitting the reports).
However, if the GroupBank cannot enter into such agreements or satisfy the requirements thereunder, certain payments to Bancolombia or its subsidiariesSubsidiaries may be subject to withholding under FATCA. The possibility of such withholding and the need for accountholders and investors to provide certain information may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, entering into agreements with the IRS, and compliance with the terms of such agreements and with FATCA and any regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder or any legislation promulgated under an intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) may increase our compliance costs. We are currently in the process of estimating the costs and commercial impact of implementing FATCA compliance on a group widegroup-wide level. Because legislationLegislation and regulations implementing FATCA and the related IGAs in the countries where we operatein which the Bank operates remain under development, and the IGAs remain under development,reporting dates vary depending on the jurisdiction. As a result, the future impact of this law onand the Bancolombia Groupaccuracy of the first reports of the Bank and its Subsidiaries is still uncertain.
The Bank is subject to credit risk, and estimating exposure to credit risk involves subjective and complex judgments.
A number of our products expose the Bank to credit risk, includingrisk. These products include loans, financial leases, lending commitments and derivatives.
The Bank estimates and establishes reserves for credit risk and potential credit losses. This process involves subjective and complex judgments, including projections of economic conditions and assumptions on the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans. This process is also subject to human error as the Bank’s employees may not always be able to assign an accurate credit rating to a client, which may result in the Bank’s exposure to higher credit risk than indicated by the Bank’s risk rating system. The Bank may not be able to timely detect these risks before they occur, or due to limited resources or available infrastructure, the Bank’s employees may not be able to effectively implement its credit risk management system, which may increase its exposure to credit risk. Moreover, the Bank’s failure to continuously refine its credit risk management system may result in a higher risk exposure for the Bank, which could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.
Overall, if the Bank is unable to effectively control the level of non-performing or poor credit quality loans in the future, or if its loan loss reserves are insufficient to cover future loan losses, the Bank’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, the amount of the Bank’s non-performing loans may increase in the future as a result of factors beyond the Bank’s control, such as changes in the income levels of the Bank’s borrowers, increases in the inflation rate or an increase in interest rates, the impact of macroeconomic trends and political events affecting Colombia and other jurisdictions wherein which the Bank operates or has exposure (especially Panama, El Salvador and Guatemala) or events affecting specific industries. Any of these developments could have a negative effect on the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, causingrequiring the Bank to increase provisions for loan losses and resulting in reduced profits or in losses.
The Bank is subject to credit risk with respect to its non-traditional banking businesses including investing in securities and entering into derivatives transactions.
Non-traditional sources of credit risk can arise from, among other things: investing in securities, of third parties, entering into derivative contracts under which counterparties have obligations to make payments to the Bank, and executing securities, futures, currency or commodity trades from the Bank’s proprietary trading desk that fail to settle at the required time due to non-delivery by the counterparty or systems failure by clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. Any significant increases in exposure to any of these non-traditional risks, or a significant decline in the credit quality or the insolvency of any of the counterparties, could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is exposed to risks associated with the mortgage loan market.
BancolombiaThe Bank is a leader in the Colombian mortgage loan market.markets in which it operates. Colombia’s mortgage loan market is highly regulated and has historically been affected by various macroeconomic factors.factors, as have the mortgage loan markets of Panama, Guatemala and El Salvador. Although during the past years interest rates have decreased during recent years, periods of sustained high interest rates have historically discouraged customers from borrowing and have resulted in increased defaults in outstanding loans and deterioration in the quality of assets.
The Bank is subject to concentration of default risks in its loan portfolio. Problems with one or more of its largest borrowers may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2012,2015, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Bank’s 25 largest credit exposures, on a consolidated basis, represented approximately 11.92%14.04% of the Bank’s loan portfolio, and noportfolio. No single exposure represented more than 1%3% of the loan book. Also, 100%book, all of those loans were corporate loans and 100%all of these relationships were classified as “A”. However, problems with one or more of the Bank’s largest borrowers could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial position, see “Item 4. Information on the Company – E. Selected Statistical Information – E.3. Loan Portfolio – Borrowing Relationships”.
The value of the collateral or guarantees securing the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Bank’s loans may not be sufficient to cover such outstanding principal and interest. In addition, the Bank may be unable to realize the full value of the collateral or guarantees securing the outstanding principal and interest balance of its loans.
The Bank’s loan collateral primarily includes real estate, assets pledged in financial leasing transactions and other assets that are located primarily in Colombia, and El Salvador, Panama and Guatemala, the value of which may significantly fluctuate or decline due to factors beyond the Bank’s control. Such factors include market factors, environmental risks, natural disasters, macroeconomic factors and political events affecting the local economy. Any decline in the value of the collateral securing the Bank’s loans may result in a reduction in the recovery from collateral realization and may have an adverse impact on the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Bank may face difficulties in enforcing its rights as a secured creditor. In particular, timing delays and procedural problems in enforcing against collateral and local protectionism may make foreclosures on collateral and enforcement of judgments difficult, and may result in losses that could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is subject to market risk.
The Bank is directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk, or the risk of losses in positions arising from movements in market prices, is inherent in the products and instruments associated with our operations, including loans, deposits, securities, bonds, long-term debt, short-term borrowings, proprietary trading in assets and liabilities and derivatives. Changes in market conditions that may affect our financial condition and results of operations include fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates, securities prices, changes in the implied volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates, among others.
The Bank is subjectBank’s results of operations are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates, which may materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.rates.
The Bank holds a substantial portfolio of loans and debt securities that have both fixed and floating interest rates. Therefore, changes in interest rates could adversely affect our net interest margins as well as the pricesvalue of these securities. Increases in interest rates may reduce the market value of the Bank’s debt securities, leading to smaller gains or larger losses on these investments. Sustained high interest rates have historically discouraged customers from borrowing and have resulted in increased delinquencies in outstanding loans and deterioration in the quality of assets. On the other hand, decreases in interest rates may cause margin compression and lower net interest income as the Bank usually maintains more assets than liabilities at variable rates. Decreasing interest rates also may trigger loan prepayments which could negatively affect the Bank’s net interest income. Generally, in a declining interest rate environment, prepayment activity increases, reducing the weighted average maturity of the Bank’s interest earning assets and adversely affecting its operating results. Prepayment risk also has a significant adverse impact on our earnings from our credit card and collateralized mortgage obligations, since prepayments could shorten the weighted average life of these portfolios, which may result in a mismatch in funding or in reinvestment of the prepayment proceeds at lower yields.
The Bank’s income from its proprietary trading activities is highly volatile.
The Bank’s trading income is highly volatile. The Bank derives a portion of its profits from its proprietary trading activities and any significant reduction in its trading income could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.activities. The Bank’s trading income is dependent on numerous factors beyond its control, such as the general market environment, overall market trading activity, interest rate levels, fluctuations in exchange rates and general market volatility. A significant decline in the Bank’s trading income, or the incurrence of a trading loss, could adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.
The Bank has significant exposure to sovereign risk, and especially Colombian risk, and the Bank’s results could be adversely affected by decreases in the value of its sovereign debt securities.
The Bank’s debt securities portfolio is primarily composed of sovereign debt securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the Colombian Government. Therefore, the Bank’s results are exposed to credit, market, and liquidity risk associated with sovereign debt. As of, December 31, 2012,2015 the Bank’s total debt securities represented 11.66%5.0% of its total assets, and 54.27% of these securities were issued or backed by the Colombian Government.assets. A significant decline in the value of the securities issued or guaranteed by the Colombian Government could adversely affect the Bank’s debt securities portfolio and consequently the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is subject to market, operational and structural risks associated with its derivative transactions.
The Bank enters into derivative transactions for hedging purposes and on behalf of its customers. The Bank is subject to market and operational risks associated with these transactions, including basis risk (the risk of loss associated with variations in the spread between the asset yield and the funding and/or hedge cost) and credit or default risk (the risk of insolvency or other inability of the counterparty to a particular transaction to perform its obligations thereunder). In addition, the market practice and documentation for derivative transactions is less developed in the jurisdictions wherein which the Bank operates as compared to other more economically developed countries, and the court systems in such jurisdictions have limited experience in dealing with issues related to derivative transactions. As a result, there are increased operating and structural risks associated with derivatives transactions in these jurisdictions.
In addition, the execution and performance of derivatives transactions depend on the Bank’s ability to develop adequate control and administrative systems, and to hire and retain qualified personnel. Moreover, the Bank’s ability to adequately monitor, analyze and report these derivative transactions depends, to a great extent, on its information technology systems. These factors may further increase the risks associated with these transactions and could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is subject to operational risks.risks and losses.
The Bank’s businesses are dependent on the ability to process a large number of transactions efficiently and accurately. Operational risks and losses can result from fraud, employee errors, technological failures and failure to properly document transactions or to obtain proper internal authorization, failure to comply with regulatory requirements, breaches of conduct of business rules, equipment failures, natural disasters or the failure of external systems. The Bank’s currentlyBank has adopted procedures may not be effective in controllingto prevent and manage each of the operational risks, faced bybut there can be no assurance that our procedures will be sufficient to prevent losses resulting from these risks.
In addition, the Bank.Bank’s businesses are exposed to risk from potential non-compliance with policies, employee misconduct or negligence and fraud, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious reputational or financial harm. In recent years, a number of financial institutions have suffered material losses due to the actions of employees and third parties. The precautions the Bank takes to prevent and detect employee and third-party misconduct may not always be effective.
The Bank’s businesses rely heavily on data collection, processing and storage systems, the failure of which could materially and adversely affect the effectiveness of its risk management, reputation and internal control system as well as its financial condition and results of operations.
All of the Bank’s principal businesses are highly dependent on the ability to timely collect and process a large amount of financial and other information at its various branches across numerous markets, at a time when transaction processes have become increasingly complex with increasing volume. The proper functioning of financial control, accounting or other data collection and processing systems is critical to the Bank’s businesses and to its ability to compete effectively. A partial or complete failure of any of these primary systems could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s decision-making process, its risk management and internal control systems, the quality of its service, and the Bank’s ability to respond on a timely basis to changing market conditions. If the Bank cannot maintain an effective data collection and management system, its business operations, financial condition, reputation and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The Bank is also dependent on information systems to operate its website, process transactions, respond to customer inquiries on a timely basis and maintain cost-efficient operations. The Bank may experience operational problems with its information systems as a result of system failures, viruses, computer hackers or other causes. Any material disruption or slowdown of its systems could cause information, including data related to customer requests and other client information, to be lost, compromised, or to be delivered to the Bank’s clients with delays or errors, which could reduce demand for the Bank’s services and products, resultresulting in additional costs for the Bank and potentially fines and penalties by regulators which could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial position.

The Bank is subject to cyber securitycyber-security risk.
The bank is subject to cyber securitycyber-security risk, which includes the unauthorized access to privileged information, technological assaults on the infrastructure of the Bank with the aim of stealing information, committing fraud or interfering with regular service, and the interruption of the Bank’s services to some of its clients or users due to the exploitation and materialization of these vulnerabilities. Cyber-security risks for financial institutions have significantly increased because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties.
The risk methodology used byBank’s business is highly dependent on the Bank allows for the evaluationsecurity and efficacy of residual risk,our infrastructure, computer and has resulted in a low leveldata management systems, as well as those of risk of potential cyber-attacks. service providers, and others with whom we interact.
The controls that the Bank has implemented in order to anticipate, identify, and offset these threats, have been effective thus far in maintaining cyber securitycyber-security risk at a low level. These controls include the existence of perimeter defenses, security backups, special 24/7 teams and continuous security tests (including ethical hacking among others), However, we can give no assurance that the low level of risk experienced thus far will continue in the future. Any failure by the Bank to detect cyber securityor present cyber-security risk in a timely manner could result in a negative impact on the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition.position, or in problems with information, including data related to customers to be lost, compromised, or to be delivered to the Bank’s clients with delays or errors.
Any failure to effectively improve or upgrade the Bank’s information technology infrastructure and management information systems in a timely manner could adversely affect itsthe Bank’s competitiveness, financial condition and results of operations.
The Bank’s ability to remain competitive will depend in part on its ability to upgrade the Bank’s information technology infrastructure on a timely and cost-effective basis. The information available to and received by the Bank’s management through its existing information systems may not be timely and sufficient to manage risks or to plan for and respond to changes in market conditions and other developments in its operations. The Bank is currently undertaking a project to update its information technology platform (“IT platform”) that will result in significant changes in the following areas:its treasury and credit cards, customer management, products and distribution channels, financial management and accounting and human resources.card operations. Any failure to effectively improve or upgrade the Bank’s information technology infrastructure and information management systems in a timely and cost-effective manner could materially and adversely affect the Bank’s competitiveness, financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence of natural disasters in the regions wherein which the Bank operates could impair its ability to conduct business effectively and could impact the Bank’sits results of operations.
The Bank is exposed to the risk of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, tropical storms, floods, wind and hurricanes in the regions where it operates. In the event of a natural disaster, unanticipated problems with the Bank’s disaster recovery systems could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s ability to conduct business in the affected region, particularly if those problems affect its computer-based data processing, transmission, storage and retrieval systems and destroy valuable data. In addition, if a significant number of the Bank’s local employees and managers werebecame unavailable indue to a natural disaster, the event of a disaster, itsBank’s ability to effectively conduct business could be severely compromised. In addition, the Bank’sBank may face added credit risk if its clients located in the affected region may be severely impacted and mayare not be able to continue paying themake timely payment on outstanding loans or other obligations they have withto the Bank. A natural disaster or multiple catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s business and results of operations in the affected region.
Acquisitions and strategic partnerships may not perform in accordance with expectations or may disrupt the Bank’s operations and adversely affect its profitability.
An element of the Bank’s business strategy is to identify and pursue growth-enhancing strategic opportunities. The Bank may base assessments of potential acquisitions and partnerships on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that may subsequently prove to be incorrect. Futureincorrect, and any future acquisitions, investments and alliances including the pending acquisition of a minority interest in Banco Agromercantil and the pending acquisition of HSBC Bank Panama (see “Item 4. Information on the Company. – A. History and development of the company – Recent Developments”), may not produce the anticipated synergies or perform in accordance with the Bank’s expectations andwhich could adversely affect its operations and profitability.
The Bank’s concentration in and reliance on short-term deposits may increase its funding costs.
The Bank’s principal source of funds areis short-term deposits, which on a consolidated basis represented a share of 74.3%70.58% of total liabilities at the end of 20122015 compared to 68.6% and 72.4%71.65% at the end of 2011 and 2010, respectively.2014. Because the Bank relies primarily on short-term deposits for its funding, in the event of a sudden or unexpected shortage of funds in the banking systemsystems and money markets wherein which the Bank operates, the Bank may not be able to maintain its current level of funding without incurring higher costs or selling assets at prices below their prevailing market value.value.
The Bank’s policies and procedures may not be able to detect money laundering and other illegal or improper activities fully or on a timely basis, which could damage the Bank’s reputation and expose the Bank to fines and other liabilities.
The Bank is required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism laws and other regulations. These laws and regulations require the Bank, among other things, to adopt and enforce “know your customer” policies and procedures and to report suspicious and large transactions to the applicable regulatory authorities. While the Bank has adopted policies and procedures aimed at detecting and preventing the use of its banking network for money laundering activities and by terrorists and terrorist-related organizations and individuals generally, such policies and procedures have in some cases only been adopted only recently and may not completely eliminate instances where itthe risk that the Bank may be used by other parties to engage in money laundering and other illegal or improper activities. To the extentIf the Bank may failfails to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, the relevant Government agencies to which it reports have the power and authority to imposemay face fines and other penalties, including restrictions on the Bank.its ability to conducts business. In addition, the Bank’s business and reputation could suffer if customers use the Bank for money laundering or illegal or improper purposes.
The Bank is subject to increasing competition which may adversely affect its results of operations.
The Bank operates in a highly competitive environment and increased competitive conditions aremanagement expects competition to be expectedincrease in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates. Intensified merger activity in the financial services industry produces larger, better capitalized and more geographically diverse firms that are capable of offering a wider array of financial products and services at more competitive prices. The Bank’s ability to maintain its competitive position depends mainly on its ability to fulfill new customers’ needs through the development of new products and services and the Bank’s ability to offer adequate services and strengthen its customer base through cross-selling. The Bank’s business will be adversely affected if the Bank is not able to maintain efficient service strategies. In addition, the Bank’s efforts to offer new services and products may not succeed if product or market opportunities develop more slowly than expected or if the profitability of opportunities is undermined by competitive pressures.
Downgrades in our credit ratings would increase our cost of borrowing funds and make our ability to raise new funds, attract deposits or renew maturing debt more difficult.

A downgrade in our credit rating may adversely affect perception of our financial stability and our ability to raise deposits, which could make us less successful when competing for deposits and loans in the market place. Our ability to successfully compete depends on various factors, including our financial stability as reflected by our credit ratings.
A new insolvency law in Colombia may limit our ability to collect and enforce claims against non-merchants.
On June 12, 2012, Congress enacted Law 1564 of 2012 which provides insolvency protection for non-merchant individuals. In addition, on December 21, 2012, the Ministry of Justice and Law issued Decree 2677 of 2012 to regulate certain aspects set forth in Law 1564. Under the new insolvency regulations, once a non-merchant individual has ceased paying its debts, such individual can initiate a voluntary insolvency proceeding before a notary public or mediator to reach an agreement with its creditors. The terms of any agreement reached with a group of creditors (two or more) that represents more than 50% of the total amount of the claims will be mandatorily applicable to all relevant creditors.
As a result of these agreements, the Bank may not be able to recover the total amount of its claims. The increased debtor protections contemplated by this law, including an automatic stay for a maximum of 90 days, could also make it more difficult for us to enforce debt and other monetary obligations, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Central Bank may impose requirements on our (and other Colombian residents’) ability to obtain loans in foreign currency.
The Central Bank may impose certain mandatory deposit requirements in connection with foreign currency-denominatedcurrency denominated loans obtained by Colombian residents, including the Bank. AlthoughBank, although no such mandatory deposit requirement is currently in effect, a mandatory deposit requirement was set at 40% in 2008 after the Colombian peso appreciated against foreign currencies.

Risks Relating to the Preferred Shares and the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”).ADSs.
Preemptive rights may not be available to holders of ADRs.American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) evidencing ADSs.
The Bank’s by-laws and Colombian law require that, whenever the Bank issues new shares of any outstanding class, it must offer the holders of each class of shares (including holders of ADRs) the right to purchase a number of shares of such class sufficient to maintain their existing percentage ownership of the aggregate capital stock of the Bank. These rights are called preemptive rights. United States holders of ADRs may not be able to exercise their preemptive rights through The Bank of New York Mellon, which acts as depositary (the “Depositary”) for the Bank’s ADR facility, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to such rights and class of shares or an exemption from the registration requirement thereunder is available. The Bank is obligated to file a registration statement or find a corresponding exemption only if it determines to extend the rights to holders of the ADRs. Although the Bank is not obligated to, it intends to consider at the time of any rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such registration statement, the benefits to the Bank from enabling the holders of the ADRs to exercise those rights and any other factors deemed appropriate at the time, and will then maketimebefore it makes a decision as to whether to file a registration statement. Accordingly, the Bank mightmay in some cases decide not to file a registration statementstatement. For example, in some cases. In connection with its recent rights offering in January 2012, the Bank did not file such a registration statement.
ToUnder the extent holders of ADRs are unable to exercise these rights because a registration statement has not been fileddeposit agreement between the Bank and no exemption from the registration requirement under the Securities Act is available, the Depositary, may attemptonly the Depositary is entitled to sell the holders’exercise preemptive rights, and distribute the net proceeds from that sale, if any,Depositary has no obligation to such holders. The Depositary, after consulting withmake available preemptive rights to holders of ADRs. If the Bank will haveoffers or causes to be offered to the holders of any deposited securities, including preferred shares of the Bank, any rights to subscribe for additional preferred shares of the Bank or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary has discretion as to the procedure forto be followed in making preemptivesuch rights available to theany holders of ADRs or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any holders of ADRs and making anythe net proceeds available to such holders.holders of ADRs. If by the terms of anysuch rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary is unable or choosesmay not toeither make thosesuch rights available to any holderholders of ADRs or dispose of such rights and if it is unable or for any reason chooses notmake the net proceeds available to sell those rights,such holders of ADRs, then the Depositary maywill allow the rights to lapse. Whenever the rights are sold or lapse, the equity interests of the holders of ADRs will be proportionately diluted.
The Bank’s preferred shares have limited voting rights.
The Bank’s corporate affairs are governed by its by-laws and Colombian law. Under the Bank’s by-laws and Colombian law, the Bank’s preferred stockholders may have fewer rights than stockholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. Holders of the Bank’s ADRs and preferred shares are not entitled to vote for the election of directors or to influence the Bank’s management policies. Under the Bank’s by-laws and Colombian corporate law, holders of preferred shares (and, consequently, holders of ADRs) have no voting rights in respect of preferred shares, other than in limited circumstances as described in “Item 10. Additional Information – B. Memorandum and Articles of Association – Description of Share Rights, Preferences and Restrictions – Voting Rights – Preferred Shares”.
Holders of the Bank’s ADRs may encounter difficulties in the exercise of dividend and voting rights.
Holders of the Bank’s ADRs may encounter difficulties in the exercise of some of their rights with respect to the shares underlying ADRs. If the Bank makes a distribution to holders of underlying shares in the form of securities, the Depositary is allowed, in its discretion, to sell those securities on behalf of ADR holders and instead distribute the net proceeds to the ADR holders. Also, under some circumstances, ADR holders may not be able to vote by giving instructions to the depositaryeven in those limited instances in which the preferred shares represented by the ADRs have the power to vote.vote, under some circumstances, ADR holders may not be able to vote by giving instructions to the depositary. This may occur if ADR holders do not receive from the Depositary a notice of meeting sufficiently prior to the instruction date to ensure that the Depositary will vote the preferred shares represented by the ADRs in accordance with instructions received from such holders. There are no circumstances in which holders of ADRs may vote in a way other than by providing instructions to the Depositary.
Relative illiquidity of the Colombian securities markets may impair the ability of an ADR holder to sell preferred shares.
The Bank’s common and preferred shares are listed on the Colombian Stock Exchange, which is relatively small and illiquid compared to stock exchanges in major financial centers. In addition, a small number of issuers represent a disproportionately large percentage of market capitalization and trading volume on the Colombian Stock Exchange. A liquid trading market for the Bank’s securities might not develop on the Colombian Stock Exchange. A limited trading market could impair the ability of an ADR holder to sell preferred shares (obtained upon withdrawal of such shares from the ADR facility) on the Colombian Stock Exchange in the amount and at the price and time such holder desires, and could increase the volatility of the price of the ADRs.
American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)ADRs do not have the same tax benefits as other equity investments in Colombia.
Although ADRs represent Bancolombia’s preferred shares, they are held through a fund of foreign capital in Colombia which is subject to a specific tax regulatory regime. Accordingly, the tax benefits applicable in Colombia to equity investments, in particular those relating to dividends and profits from sale, are not applicable to ADRs, including the Bank’s ADRs.

Regulatory Framework for Colombian Banking Institutions
The basic regulatory framework of the Colombian financial sector is set forth in Decree 663 of 1993, modified among others, by Law 510 of 1999, Law 546 of 1999, Law 795 of 2003 Law 964 of 2005 and Law 1328 of 2009, as well as in External Resolution 8 of 2000 (foreign exchange regulations) and Resolution 4 (as hereinafter defined) issued by the board of directors of the Central Bank. 2009.
Decree 663 of 1993 definesdefined the structure of the Colombian financial system and defines several forms of business entities, including: (i) credit institutions (establecimientos de crédito) (which are further categorized into banks, such as the Bank, finance corporations (corporaciones financieras), financing companies (compañias de financiamiento) and finance cooperatives (cooperativas financieras)); (ii) financial services entities (sociedades de servicios financieros); (iii) capitalization corporations (sociedades de capitalización); (iv) insurance companies (entidades aseguradoras); and (v) insurance intermediaries (intermediarios de seguros). Furthermore, Decree 663 of 1993 provides that no financial, banking or credit institution may operate in Colombia without the prior approval of the SFC. Additionally, Decree 2555 of 2010 compiled regulations that were dispersed in separate decrees, including regulations regarding capital adequacy and lending activities.
The main role of banks, finance corporations and financing companies is to receive deposits. Banks place funds back into circulation by means of loans or any active credit operation; finance corporations place funds into circulation by means of active credit operations or investments, with the purpose of promoting the creation or expansion of enterprises; and financing companies place funds back into circulation by means of active credit operations, with the purpose of fostering the sale of goods and services, including the development of leasing operations.
Law 510 of 1999 and Law 795 of 2003 substantially amended the powers of the SFC to control, regulate and supervise financial institutions. Law 510 of 1999 also streamlined the procedures for theFondo de Garantías de Instituciones Financieras (“Fogafin”), the agency that insures deposits in financial institutions and provides credit and support to troubled financial institutions. The main purpose of Law 510 of 1999 was to improveimproved the solvency standards and stability of Colombia’s financial institutions by providing rules for their incorporation and regulating permitted investments of credit institutions, insurance companies and investment companies.
Law 546 of 1999 was enacted to regulate the system of long-term home loans.
Law 795 of 2003 was enacted to broadenbroadened the scope of permitted activities thatfor financial institutions, can engage in, to update regulations with some of the then-latest principles of the Basel Committee and to increase the minimum capital requirements in order to incorporate a financial institution (for more information, see “Minimum Capital Requirements” below). Law 795 of 2003 also provided authority to the SFC to take preventive measures, consisting mainly of preventive interventions with respect to financial institutions whose capital falls below certain thresholds. For example, in order to avoid a temporary take-over by the SFC, such financial institutions must submit to the SFC a restructuring program to restore their financial condition.
Law 1328 of 2009 providesprovided a set of rights and responsibilities for customers of the financial system and a set of obligations for financial institutions in order to minimize disputes. This law also gives foreign banks more flexibility to operate in Colombia. Prior to Law 1328 of 2009, foreign banks were able to operate in Colombia by establishing a Colombian subsidiary authorized by the SFC. Following the enactment of Law 1328 of 2009, as of June 15, 2013, foreign banks will be permitted to operate through their “branches” and will not be required to incorporate a Colombian subsidiary. Law 1328 of 2009 also broadened the scope of permitted business activities by regulated entities.. Following its adoption, credit institutions were allowed to operate leasing businesses and banks were allowed to extend loans to third parties so that borrowers could acquire control of other companies. On September 6, 2011, the SFC issued External Regulation 039 of 2011 pursuant to which the SFC is empowered to regulate certain banking practices considered as abusive. The SFC issued the External Circular 038 of 2011 on September 6, 2011, with the purpose to set the necessary instructions that should be followed by the entities that are supervised by the SFC in regards to supplying financial consumers all the information they require in order to allow them to choose the best options in the market, according to their own needs.
On December 20, 2011 the Colombian Government issued Decree 4809 by means of which they: (i) defined the laws and principles that must be observed in the determination, diffusion and publicity of rates and prices of products and financial services, (ii) defined the maximum rate charged for the withdrawal of funds from ATM’s of other financial institutions, (iii) provided that should there be an increase in applicable rates within a standard form contract, the banks must inform the clients of that change within a minimum of 45 days, in which time the client will have the ability to reject the aforementioned increase and terminate the contractual relationship with the bank, (iv) imposed a prohibition on charging for unsuccessful transactions carried out through ATMs when there is no fault attributable to the client, and (v) established that transactions made via the Internet cannot be more expensive than those made via other available channels.
The SFC has authority to implement applicable regulations and, accordingly, issues from time to time administrative resolutions and circulars. By means of External Circular 007029 of 1996 (as amended),2014, the SFC compiled the rules and regulations applicable to financial institutions.institutions and other entities under its supervision. Likewise, by means of External Circular 100 of 1995 (the “Basic Accounting Circular”), it compiled all regulations applicable to the accounting rules and regulations.
TheFinancial institutions are subject to further rules if they engage in additional activities. Law 964 of 2005 (securities market law) regulates securities intermediation activities, which may be performed by banks, and securities offerings. External Resolution 8 of 2000 (foreign exchange control statute definesregulations), and Resolution 4 (as hereinafter defined) issued by the board of directors of the Central Bank, defined the different activities that banks, including the Bank, may perform as currency exchange intermediaries, including lending in foreign currencycurrencies and investment in foreign securities.
Additionally, Decree 2555 of 2010 compiled regulations that were dispersed in separate decrees, including regulations regarding securities market activities, capital adequacy requirements, principles in the determination, diffusion and publicity of rates and prices of products and financial services, and lending activities.
Violations of any of the above statutes and their relevant regulations are subject to administrative sanctions and, in some cases, criminal sanctions.
Key interest rates
Colombian commercial banks, finance corporations and consumer financing companies are required to provide the Central Bank, on a weekly basis, with data regarding the total volume (in pesos) of certificates of deposit issued during the prior week and the average interest rates paid for certificates of deposit with maturities of 90 days. Based on such reports, the Central Bank computes theTasa de Captaciones de Corporaciones Financieras (“TCC”) and theDepósitos a Término Fijo (“DTF”) rates,rate, which areis published at the beginning of the following week, for use in calculating interest rates payable by financial institutions. The TCC is the weighted average interest rate paid by finance corporations for deposits with maturities of 90 days. The DTF is the weighted average interest rate paid by finance corporations, commercial banks and consumer financing companies for certificates of deposit with maturities of 90 days. For the week of April 29, 2013,18, 2016, the DTF was 4.11% and the TCC was 4.24%6.49%.
Article 884 of the Colombian Commercial Code of Commerce provides for a limit on the amount of interest that may be charged in commercial transactions. The limit is 1.5 times the current banking interest rate, orInterés Bancario Corriente, calculated as the average of the interest ordinarily charged by banks within a set period of time. The current banking interest rate for small business loans and for all other loans is certified by the SFC. As of December 31, 2012,2015, the banking interest rate for small business loans was 35.63%35.42% and for all other loans was 20.89%19.33%.
Capital adequacy requirements
Capital adequacy requirements for Colombian financial institutions (as set forth in Decree 2555 of 2010, as amended) are based on applicable Basel Committee standards. Decree 2555 of 2010 establishes four categories of assets, which are each assigned different risk weights, and requires that a credit institution’s Technical Capital (as defined below) be at least 9% of that institution’s total risk-weighted assets. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Technical Capital for the purposes of the regulations consists of the sum of Tier One Capital (basic capital) and Tier Two Capital (additional capital) (Tier One Capital and Tier Two Capital, collectively, “Technical Capital”). Tier Two Capital may not exceed the total amount of Tier One Capital.
However, on August 23, 2012 the Ministry of Finance issued a new regulation (Decree 1771 of 2012) amending the capital adequacy requirements set forth in Decree 2555. Under this new regulation, financial institutions (such as the Bank) will remain subject to the capital adequacy requirements previously in place until August 1, 2013. Some of the highlights of this new regulation are:are as follows:

_______________________
Our calculation of our Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital ratios under the new capital regulations as of December 31, 2012 are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures, and other entities may calculate these ratios differently. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Bancolombia’s capital adequacy using the framework of the new rules, Bancolombia believes that it is useful to provide investors information enabling them to assess Bancolombia’s capital adequacy on the same basis.
In order to improve the consolidated capital adequacy ratio of Bancolombia, some of its subsidiaries implemented a series of measures, including:
The implemented measures were adopted considering the impact on the consolidated capital adequacy ratio of Bancolombia; however, these measures did not affect the individual capital or solvency ratios applicable to each subsidiary. Each subsidiary is in compliance with the current regulatory ratios applicable in each jurisdiction.
Minimum Capital RequirementsAdequacy”
The minimum capital requirement for banks on an unconsolidated basis is established in Article 80 of Decree 633 of 1993, as amended.1993. The minimum capital requirement for 2012banks, including Bancolombia S.A., for 2015 is COP 73,75079,835 million. Failure to meet such requirement can result in the Takingtaking of Possessionpossession (toma de posesión) of the Bank by the SFC (see “Colombian Banking Regulations — Bankruptcy“Bankruptcy Considerations”).
Capital Investment Limit
For entities incorporated in Colombia, all investments in subsidiaries and other authorized capital investments, other thanexcluding those made in order to abide by legal requirements may not exceed 100% of the total aggregate of capital, equity reserves and the equity re-adjustment account of the respective bank, financial corporation or commercial finance company excluding unadjusted fixed assets and including deductions for accumulated losses.
Mandatory Investments
Central Bank regulations require financial institutions, including the Bank, to hold minimum mandatory investments in the debt securities issued by Fondo para el Financiamiento del Sector Agropecuario (“Finagro”), a Colombian public financial institution that finances production and rural activities to support the agricultural sector. The amount of these mandatory investments is calculated by applying a fixed percentage (ranging from 4% to 7%, depending on the type of liability) to the quarterly average of the end of day balances of certain liabilities, primarily, deposits and short-term debt. The investment balance is computed at the end of each quarter. Any required adjustment (due to a change in the quarterly average between periods) results in the purchase of additional securities or may result in the optional redemption at par of securities in excess of the requirement.

Within two months (extendible for two additional months) from the date whenin which the SFC takes possession of a bank, the SFC must decide which of the aforementioned measures to adopt. The decision is to be pursued. The decision is subject to the prior opinion of Fogafin, which is the Government agency that insures deposits made in Colombian financial institutions.

Colombian banks and other financial institutions are not subject to the laws and regulations that generally govern the insolvency, restructuring and liquidation of industrial and commercial companies.
Deposit insurance—Troubled Financial Institutions
In response to the crisis faced by the Colombian financial system during the early 1980s, in 1985 the Government created Fogafin. Subject to specific limitations, Fogafin is authorized to provide equity (whether or not reducing the par value of the recipient’s shares) and/or secured credits to troubled financial institutions, and to insure deposits of commercial banks and certain other financial institutions.
To protect the customers of commercial banks and certain financial institutions, Resolution No. 1 of 2012 of the board of directors of Fogafin, as amended, requires mandatory deposit insurance. Under this Resolution No. 1, banksBanks must pay an annual premium of 0.3% of total funds received on saving accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit and other deposits, which is paid in four quarterly installments. If a bank is liquidated, the deposit insurance will cover the funds deposited by an individual or corporation with such bank up to a maximum of COP 20 million regardless of the number of accounts held.
Risk Management Systems
Commercial banks must have risk administration systems to meet the SFC minimum standards for compliance and to avoid and mitigate the following risks: (i) credit; (ii) liquidity; (iii) market; (iv) operational; and (v) money laundering and terrorism.
Commercial banks generally have several risk measurement methods, including the risk weighted assets measurement which is calculated according to weight percentages assigned to different types of assets, which may be 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. There are some exceptions in which the weight percentage is higher and is calculated based on the associated risk perception of the evaluated asset. Provisions, which are calculated on a monthly basis, are another risk measurement method. For commercial and consumer loans, the SFC issues a provision reference model, according to which the probability of default depends on an assigned rating (AA, A, BB, B, CC and default). For mortgage loans and small business loans, provisions are calculated based on ratings (A, B, C, D and E) assigned depending on the time elapsed since the client’s default.
With respect to market risks, commercial banks must follow the provisions of the Basic Accounting Circular, which defines criteria and procedures for measuring a bank’s exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange, and market risks. Under such regulations, banks must submit to the SFC information on the net present value, duration, and interest rate of its assets, liabilities, and derivative positions. Colombian banks are required to calculate, for each position on the statement of financial position, a volatility rate and a parametric value at risk (“VaR”), which is calculated based on net present value, modified duration and a risk factor computed in terms of a basis points change. Each risk factor is calculated and provided by the SFC.
With respect to liquidity risk, each financial entity is required to have liquid assets greater than the contractual liquidity accumulative one-month-gap. This contractual gap includes the maturity of assets and liabilities of the current positions and does not include projections of future transactions. The loan portfolio is affected by the historical default indicator and the maturity of deposits is modeled according to the regulation.
With respect to operational risk, commercial banks must assess, according to principles provided by the Basic Accounting Circular, each of their business lines (such as corporate finance, purchases and sales of securities, commercial banking, asset management, etc.) in order to record the risk events that may occur and result in fraud, technology problems, legal and reputational problems and problems associated with labor relations at the bank.
Anti-Money Laundering Provisions
The regulatory framework to prevent and control money laundering is contained in, among others, Decree 663 of 1993 and Circulars 26External Circular 029 of 2008 and 019 of 20102014 issued by the SFC, as well as Law 599 of 2000, and the Colombian Criminal Code, as amended.
Colombian laws adopt the latest guidelines related to anti-money laundering and other terrorist activities established by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (“FATF”). Colombia, as a member of the GAFI-SUD (a FATF-style regional body), follows all of FATF’s 40 recommendations and eight special recommendations. External Circular 26029 of 2008 issued by the SFC2014 requires the implementation by financial institutions of a system of controls for money laundering and terrorism financing. These rules emphasize “know your customer” policies and knowledge of customers and markets. They also establish processesmarkets, and parameters to identifyother customer identification and monitor a financial institution’s customers. According to these regulations, financialmonitoring processes.
Financial institutions must cooperate with the appropriate authorities to prevent and control money laundering and terrorism.terrorism financing. Finally, the Colombian criminal codeCriminal Code introduced criminal rules and regulations to prevent, control, detect, eliminate and adjudicate all matters related to financing terrorism and money laundering. The criminal rules and regulations coverlaundering, including the omission of reports on cash transactions, mobilization or storage of cash, and the lack of controls.

CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSES—VOLUME AND RATE ANALYSIS
The following table allocates, by currency of denomination,for domestic and foreign activities, changes in the Bank’s net interest income to changes in average volume, changes in nominal rates and the net variance caused by changes in both average volume and nominal rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20122015 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011; and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.2014. 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. Net changes attributable to changes in both volume and interest rate have been allocated to the change due to changes in volume.

Accordingly, an investment is addedclassified and measured as amortized cost if: (i) the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to or subtracted fromhold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and (ii) 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.

Risk categories
The SFC provides the following minimum risk classifications, according to the financial situation of the debtor or the past-due days of the obligation:
Category A or “Normal Risk”: Loans and financial leases in this category are appropriately serviced. The debtor’s financial statements or its projected cash flows, as well as all other credit information available to the Bank, reflect adequate paying capacity.
Category B or “Acceptable Risk, Above Normal”: Loans and financial leases in this category are acceptably serviced and guaranty protected, but there are weaknesses which may potentially affect, on a transitory or permanent basis, the debtor’s paying capacity or its projected cash flows, to the extent that, if not timely corrected, would affect the normal collection of credit or contracts.
Category C or “Appreciable Risk”: Loans and financial leases in this category represent insufficiencies in the debtor’s paying capacity or in the project’s cash flow, which may compromise the normal collection of the obligations.
Category D or “Significant Risk”: Loans and financial leases in this category have the same deficiencies as loans in category C, but to a larger extent; consequently, the probability of collection is highly doubtful.
Category E or “Risk of Non-Recoverability”“unrecoverable”: Loans and financial leases in this category are deemed uncollectible.
For further details about these risk categories see “Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies – (i) Loans and Financial Leases – Evaluation by credit risk categories”management appendix to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Suspension of Accruals
The SFC established that interest, UVR, lease payments and other items of income cease to be accrued in the statement of operations and begin to be recorded in memorandum accounts until effective payment is collected, after a loan is in arrears for more than a certain time:
However, the Bank adopts a stricter policy for every credit category, except for mortgages. According to this policy loans are placed in non-accrual status once those loans are 30 days or more overdue. Under this policy, once the accumulation of interest is suspended, the Bank records an allowance equal to the interest that had accrued up to that point. Mortgage loans, on the other hand, are placed in non-accrual status once they are 60 days past-due, at which time an allowance is made for 100% of the interest accrued up to that point.
Amounts due on loans that become past-due and that at some point have stopped accruing interest, UVR, lease payments or other items of income will be recorded in memorandum accounts until such amounts are actually collected.

Policies for the granting and review of credit
The Bank’s credit standards and policies aim to achieve a high level of credit quality in the Bank’s loan portfolio, efficiency in the processing of loans and the specific assignment of responsibilities for credit risk.
To maintain credit quality and manage the risk arising from its lending activities, the Bank has established general loan policies for the evaluation of credit, the determination of lending limits to customers and the level of management authority required to approve a loan. In addition, the Bank has established a centralized area for credit analysis, the disbursement process and the management and custody of promissory notes and guarantees.
Bancolombia’s policies require every credit to be analyzed using the following factors: the character, reputation and credit history of the borrower, the type of business the borrower engages in, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and/or its projected cashflowscash flows, the coverage and suitability of the proposed collateral for the loan and information received from the two credit risk bureaus currently operating in Colombia.
In addition to the analysis of the borrower, the Bank engages in the analysis of the different economic sectors toin which the Bank makes loans and has established guidelines for financial analysis of the borrower and for participation in investment projects in and outside Colombia.
The Bank applies the lending limits to borrowers established under Colombian law, which require that: (i) uncollateralized loans to a single customer or economic group may not exceed 10% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; (ii) collateralized loans to a single customer or economic group may not exceed 25% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; (iii) a collateralized loan to a stockholder of the Bank, who owns a position exceeding 20% of the Bank’s Capital,capital, may not exceed 20% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; (iv) aan uncollateralized loan to a stockholder of the Bank who owns a position exceeding 20% of the Bank’s Capital,capital, may not exceed 10% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital; and (v) a loan to a financial institution may not exceed 30% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital.
In general, the term of a loan will depend on the type of guarantee, the credit history of the borrower and the purpose of the loan. Almost 66% of the Bank’s loan portfolio has a maturity of five years or less.
Loan applications, depending on their amount, are presented for approval to branch managers, the zone or regional managers, the Vice Presidents,vice presidents, the President,president, the Credit Committeecredit committee and the board of directors of Bancolombia.Bancolombia (the “Board of Directors”). In general, loan application decisions are made by the Bank’s management in the corresponding committee. Approval at each level also requires the agreement of each lower level of the approval hierarchy.
Loans to managers, directors and affiliates of the Bank must be approved by the boardBoard of directors of the Bank,Directors, which has the authority to grant loans in any principal amount subject to the Bank’s legal lending limit.
The Bank has established policies for the valuation of collateral received as well as for the determination of the maximum loan amount that can be granted against the value of the collateral. Periodically, the Bank undertakes a valuation of collateral held as security for loans, and the valuation frequency varies depending on the type of collateral. In any event, the collateral cannot be used to mitigate risk if its valuation is not updated on a periodic basis. In addition, forFor retail and mortgage loans that are between 5five and 60 days past-due, responsibility for collecting payments is outsourced to an external collection company controls each obligation payment,company; for commercial lendingloans this procedure is always madecarried out by internal employees. When a loan becomes 60 days past-due, management of the loan will be giventransferred to an independent and specialized division within the Bank where various steps will be taken to recover the loan.
In October 2011, the SFC issued the External Circular 043 of 2011 with the purpose of setting forth the necessary instructions to be followed by financial institutions in order to determine the fair value of collateral securing loans, as well as the frequency of valuations of collateral. In accordance with these new regulations, all collateral must be valued at least every three years, except those which support mortgage and automobile loans, which must be valued annually. When the current valuation is overdue, the fair value is not considered in the measurement of certain allowances for loan losses as a mitigating factor.
With respect to monitoring outstanding loans, the Bank in accordance with the requirements of the SFC, has implemented regional committees and a central qualification process to undertake a biannualbi-annual evaluation of the loan portfolio, during the months of May and November.portfolio. When monitoring outstanding loans, the Bank examines current financial statements including cash flow and financial indicators, industry analysis and historical payment behavior.
Additionally, all of the Bank’s loans are evaluated monthly based on the days they are past-due. When reviewing loans, Bancolombia evaluates and updates their risk classification and makes corresponding adjustments in theto their provisions, if needed.
In addition, the Bank carries out a credit audit process that reviews clients with financial weaknesses, early past-due loans, clients in underperforming sectors, that are underperforming, and branches with high records of write-offs, among others.

IMPACT OF ECONOMIC AND MONETARY POLICIES ON BANCOLOMBIA’S RESULTS
Bancolombia’s operations are affected by external factors such as economic activity in Colombia, interest rates, inflation and exchange rates. The following discussion summarizes the trends of such variables.
Economic activity
Although Colombia’s GDP growth was 4.0%3.1% in 2012, significantly2015, lower than the 6.6% growth4.6% reached in 2011 (the 2011 GDP reported in 2011 was 5.9%, and it was revised to 6.6% in 2012). This2014, this figure nonetheless indicates a moderation in therelatively strong pace of growth in the Colombian economy, considering the negative output for most of the economy, although household consumption and investment remain solid and are drivingcountries in the economic expansion.region.
Key GDP components performed as follows in 20122015 compared to 2011:2014: investment grew 2.6%, consumption increased 4.4% investment grew 5.7%3.9%, imports increased 3.9% and exports increased 5.3%decreased 0.7%.
In 2012,2015, gross capital formation represented 27.7%29.6% of GDP, household consumption represented 65.4%65.0%, government consumption 16.3%17.2%, exports 17.3%15.7% and imports 27%28.8%.
The activities that led growth during the year were mining (5.9% increase), financial services (5.5% increase), non-financial services (4.9%(4.3% increase) and trade and tourism (4.1%construction (3.9% increase).
Interest Rates
In the first two meetingsAs of the year, in January and February 2012, the Central Bank increased its benchmarkDecember 31, 2015, following continuous rate 25 basis points in each meeting to 5.25% motivated by inflation and increased consumer lending activity. Then, in July, the Central Bank began a process of rate cuts that caused the rate to end the year at 4.25%. The reasons for the rate cuts inhikes during the second half of 2012 were the moderation of economic growthyear, the Central Bank left rates at 5.75% in an attempt to subdue inflation in a challenging macroeconomic context. The Central Bank increased rates by 125 basis points in 2015, starting in September with a 25p raise, and credit expansion, as well as a declinesubsequent hikes in the inflation.October (50 basis points), November and December.
The Central Bank expects to maintain inflation rates over time within the long-term targeted range (between 2% and 4%) while permittingallowing the economy to grow close to GDP estimates. In order to do so, the Central Bank may change the interest raterates to promote economic activity, credit expansion and consumption.consumption or curb inflation expectations.
Inflation
Year-endThe year-end inflation rate for 20122015 was 2.44%6.77%, lowerhigher than the 3.73%3.66% recorded for 2011.2014.
The components that led inflation in 20122015 were education (4.6%food (10.9% increase), housing (5.4% increase) and health care (4.3% increase) and housing (3%(5.3% increase).
The 12-month core inflation rate for 20122015 came to 2.4%at 5.43%, thereby remaining withinwhich exceeded the Central Bank’s targeted inflation range of 2% to 4%. The price increase in regulated goods and services, suchincreases are mainly due to El Niño Phenomenon as utilities, urban transportation and gasoline was 1.91%.well as a pass-through effect of nominal depreciation of the currency.
Exchange rate
The Colombian Peso appreciated 9%depreciated 32% versus the U.S. dollar during 2012, and it has appreciated 21% since 2000.
2015, compared to a depreciation of 24% during 2014.
Foreign Direct Investment flows into Colombia have been one of the main drivers of the appreciation of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar during the last eleven years. In 2012, FDI totaled USD 16,684 million, of which 80% was related to oil, gas and mining. Abundance of U.S. dollars in the U.S. economy was also a factor that contributed to the appreciation as international investors were seeking investments in currencies that were not likely to lose value versus the U.S. dollar and that could offer better returns than dollar denominated securities.
The strengtheningweakening of the Colombian Peso mainly affected Colombian companies that focusis explained by the drop in oil prices, which initially has a negative impact on exportingthe economy, until the necessary adjustments are made, including export diversification, import substitution, and that lost competitiveness given that a large portion of their expenses was denominated in Colombian Pesos.other structural economic changes.

Interest income, which is the sum of interest on loans, financial leases, overnight funds and income from investment securities, totaled COP 7,662 billion in 2012, up 29% as compared to COP 5,946 billion in 2011 and up 54% as compared to COP 4,960 billion in 2010.2014.
Interest on loans and financial leases reflected an increase in the loan portfolio in 2012.2015. The weighted average nominal interest rate on loans and financial leases increased to 11%ended at 9.0% in 20122015 down from 10%9.1% in 2011 and 10.3% in 2010.2014. As a result, interest income, which is the sum of interest on loans, and financial leases, overnight funds and interest and valuation income from investment securities, totaled COP 6,87811,270 billion (90% of interest income) and increased 30%in 2015, up 23% as compared to COP 5,3019,172 billion (89% of interest income) in 2011 and increased 54% as compared to COP 4,464 billion (90% of interest income) in 2010.2014.

The net interest margin contracted 5 basis points from 5.30% to 5.25% during the year due to increased funding costs and 67% as comparedliquidity pressures during the second half of the year. Bancolombia was very active in the deposits markets to 2010.secure the necessary funding. Interest rates began to rise in the second half of the year, which at first constrains financial margins, however, in the near term management expects margins to expand due to the asset re-pricing that is already taking place. Management’s outlook going forward is positive and the higher rate environment provides an upside for the net interest margin.
Regarding interest expenses, interest incurred on liabilities totaled COP 2,8954,038 billion in 2012,2015, up 42%28% as compared to COP 2,0423,165 billion in 2011, and up 84% as compared to COP 1,572 billion in 2010.2014. The increase in interest expenses is explained by higher interest rates incurred on deposits and the increase in volumes of deposits and bonds.bonds, as well as a higher cost on each type of funding source. Overall, the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.4%2.92% in 20122015 from 3.7%2.85% in 2011 and from 3.4% in 2010.2014.

This increase was driven primarily by increases in the performance of commission from banking services, credit and debit card annualcards fees, banking services and collectioncollections and payments fees.
Bancolombia distribution channels performed an increasing number of transactions in 2012. In particular, our banking operation in Colombia performed about 1.38 billion transactions during 2012, which represents an increase of 18% as compared to the 1.17 billion transactions of 2011.

This performance was primarily driven by the combined effect of increaseda slight increase in headcount, and wage increments during 2012. Salaries in 2012 were raised in line with the 2011 inflation rate of 3.73%.2015, and bonus payments.
Administrative and other expenses totaled COP 2,0402,238 billion in 2012,2015, up 15% as compared to 2011 and up 40% as compared to 2010,2014 driven by increased taxes differentother than income taxtax. Depreciation and expenses incurred in connection with software development and IT upgrades.

Provision Charges and Credit Quality
For the year 2012,2015, provision charges (net of recoveries) totaled COP 1,1111,675 billion (or 1.7%1.3% of average loans), which represents an increase of 86%93% as compared to COP 599869 billion in 2011 (or 1% of average loans) and an increase of 103% as compared to COP 548 billion in 2010 (or 1.2% of average loans).2014. The higher level of provisions was driven by fasterthe formation of past due loans in ourand the growth of the loan portfolio.
Net loan charge-offs totaled COP 6791,422 billion in 2012,2015, up 28%21% from COP 532the 1,179 billion in 2011 and up 3% from COP 658 billion in 2010.2014. Past-due loans amounted to COP 1,8324,188 billion in 2012,2015, up 37%41.58% as compared to COP 1,3412,958 billion in 2011, and 31% higher than COP 1,396 billion in 2010.2014.
The delinquencies ratio (loans overdue more than 30 days divided by total loans) reached 2.62%2.98% as of the end of 2012,2015, up from 2.18%2.62% at the end of 2011 and down from 2.87% at the end of 2010.
Allowance for credit losses
Under Colombian banking GAAP and according to the rules established by the SFC, banking institutions in Colombia must follow minimum standards for establishing allowances for loan losses. Such minimum standards require banks to analyze, on an ongoing basis, the credit risk to which their loan portfolio is exposed, taking into account the terms of the corresponding obligations as well as the level of risk associated with the borrowers. The risk evaluation is based on information relating to historical performance data, particular characteristics of the borrower, collateral, the borrower’s debt to other entities, macroeconomic factors and financial information, among other data. The standards for provisioning vary for each credit category.
Commercial and consumer loans are provisioned following standard models developed by the SFC. According to the models the allowance for loan losses is calculated as follows:
Expected Loss = [Probability of default] x [Exposure at default] x [Loss given default]
2014.
The probability of default is calculated and provided by the SFC based on historical data. Exposure at default is defined as the current balance of the principal, interest, interest receivable accounts and other receivables regarding consumer and commercial loan obligations at the moment of default. The Loss Given Default (“LGD”) is defined as the expected loss occurred after default and is calculated and provided by the SFC. The LGD varies according to the type of collateral and would increase gradually depending on the number of days the loan has been in default. It is important to note that Bancolombia applies stricter parameters than those required by the Colombian regulator in the estimation of the LGD of its loan portfolio by reducing the number of the past-due days that are used in such calculation and adjusting some percentages. Therefore, allowances produce higher provision charges that reflected a higher coverage ratio for loan losses. In addition to the allowances calculated by the reference models, the Bank also sets up incremental allowances for certain clients who are considered to bear an increased inherent risk due to determined risk factors such as macroeconomic or industry deterioration trends or any other factors that could indicate early impairment. In June 2012, the SFC issued the External Circular 026 of 2012, with the purpose of setting the necessary instructions to be followed by financial institutions, in order to establish a new additional allowance for covering the consumer loan’s individual inherent risk, due to the significant increase in the consumer loan portfolio of the Colombian financial institutions. For futher details see the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 “Summary of significant accounting policies”.
In addition, there are no standard models required or provided by the regulator for mortgage and small business loans. In order to calculate provisions for these segments, the Bank must maintain at all times individual allowances equal to or greater than the minimum percentages provided by the SFC. The minimum percentages vary depending on the risk category assigned to every loan within the mortgage and small business loans categories (the higher the risk, the higher the allowance percentage). In addition, the minimum percentages might differ if the loan has any collateral. In October 2011, the SFC issued the External Circular 043 of 2011 with the purpose of setting forth the necessary instructions to be followed by financial institutions in order to determine the fair value of collateral securing loans, as well as the frequency of valuations of collateral. For futher details see the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2 “Summary of significant accounting policies”.
The Bank also has adopted, for its Colombian business, more rigorous policies in the calculation of allowances for mortgage and small business loans as compared to that required by the SFC. Such policy has established higher allowance percentages for loans classified in the C, D and E risk categories.
For mortgage and small business loans, the Bank sets up a general allowance which corresponds to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal. Because the Bank applies standardized models supplied by the SFC to compute the allowance for commercial and consumer loans, the Bank no longer establishes general allowances for commercial and consumer loans.
Allowances for loans, financial lease and accrued interest losses amounted to COP 3,249 billion or 4.64% of total loans at the end of 2012, an increase from COP 2,813 billion, or 4.58% of total loans, as of December 31, 2011. Notwithstanding, coverage for loan losses, measured by the ratio of allowances to past-due loans (“PDLs”) (overdue 30 days), reached 177% at the end of 2012, down from 210% at the end of 2011. The decrease in this coverage ratio is explained by the formation of PDLs during the year, which was faster than the pace of increase in allowances in the balance sheet. This coverage reflects the Bank’s prudent approach toward risk management and incorporates, as mentioned above, stricter parameters than those required by the SFC. As of December 31, 2012, allowances in the amount of COP 587 billion were recorded in excess of the minimum allowances required by the SFC as compared with COP 438 billion as of December 31, 2011.
The Bank’s management considers that the Bank’s allowances for loans and financial leases losses adequately reflect the credit risk associated with its loan portfolio given the current economic environment and the available information upon which the credit assessments are made. Nonetheless, the methodology used in the allowance and provision charges determination is based on the existence and magnitude of determined factors that are not necessarily an indication of future losses and, accordingly, no assurance can be given that current allowances and provision charges will exactly reflect actual losses.
For further details regarding the regulation and methodologies for the calculation of allowances following the accounting practices and the special regulations of the SFC, please see “Note 2.i. Loans and Financial Lease” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.
For a description of the loan portfolio, the summary of loan experience, potential problem loans and charge-offs see “Item 4. Information on the Company – E. Selected Statistical Information – E.3. Loan Portfolio” and “Item 4. Information on the Company – E. Selected Statistical Information – E.4. Summary of loan loss experience”.
Loan loss allowances calculated following practices and special regulations of the SFC differ in certain significant respects from those determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Note 31- e) “Allowance for loan losses, financial leases, foreclosed assets and other receivables” to the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report provides a description of the significant differences between Colombian banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP in this respect and a reconciliation of allowances following U.S. GAAP.
Merger Expenses and Goodwill Amortization
For the year ended December 31, 2012, goodwill amortization amounted to COP 46 billion, down 10% from COP 51 billion in 2011 and down 18% from COP 56 billion in 2010.
As of December 31, 2012, outstanding goodwill totaled COP 571 billion, which represents a 16% decrease from COP 680 billion at the end of 2011. Outstanding goodwill represented 0.6% of the Bank’s total assets and primarily comprises the goodwill related to the acquisition of Banagrícola, which is denominated U.S. dollars and is being amortized over 20 years beginning in May 2007.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
Net non-operating income, which includes gains/losses from the sale of foreclosed assets, premises and equipment and other assets and income from minority interests, totaled COP 35 billion in 2012, 54% lower than COP 76 billion in 2011. This performance is explained by lower gains on the sale of properties.

Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expense for the fiscal year 20122015 totaled COP 467649 billion, down 1% as compared to12% from COP 471738 billion in 20112014. The income tax decreased despite the higher statutory income tax rate, because of certain differences between fiscal accounting and down 8% as comparedfinancial accounting.
Furthermore, in 2015 the bank faced a higher total tax burden, in general, due in part to the COP 508 billionwealth tax, which it paid in 2010.
Tax expense is determinedJanuary 2015 for every subsidiary followinga total amount of 160 billion. Also, the tax laweffect of the country where it is domiciled.

Fiduciaria Bancolombia concluded that agreement on December 31, 2009. Therefore, since January 1, 2010 for Fiduciaria Bancolombia and since January 1, 2011 for Bancolombia, Banca de Inversión Bancolombia and Leasing Bancolombia, any new tax that is implemented in Colombia will apply to those entities and they will pay the statutory tax rate applicable in Colombia, as well as the financial transactionsfuture tax.
Since January 1, 2012, subsidiaries in the fiscal jurisdiction of El Salvador will pay a 30% income tax, with the exception of entities with taxable income of less that USD 150 thousand per year, which will pay 25%. Dividends received by those entities will beare subject to a 5% tax rate.
In the case of Bancolombia Panama and its subsidiary, Banagrícola, which are domiciled in Panama and permitted to operate through an international banking license, income tax is governed by the Panamanian tax law. Pursuant to Panamanian tax law the profits of these companies are not subject to income tax in Panama. Subsidiaries incorporated in El Salvador pay income tax of 25% on profits obtained within the country. For further details about the income tax expense calculation, see “Note 21. Accrued Expenses –11.A Income Taxes–CREE Tax Expense” ofand Deferred Tax” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE CHANGES IN RESULTS FOR 2011 VERSUS 2010
Banistmo and its subsidiaries incorporated in Panama pay an income tax on the profits obtained in the country equivalent to 25% from 2014 onwards. According to existing fiscal regulation, profits from foreign operations, interest paid on term deposits by local banks, debt securities issued by the Panamanian Government and from securities listed in the Securities Exchange Superintendency (Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores
Summary) are exempt from income taxes.
During 2011, Bancolombia strengthened its competitive position and full-service financial model, and benefited from the diversity of its leading franchises. For the year 2011, netGAM in Guatemala operates under a tax jurisdiction that requires it to pay an income totaled COP 1,664 billion (COP 2,112 per share – USD 4.35 per ADR), which represents an increase of 16% as compared to COP 1,436 billion of net incometax for the fiscal year 2010, and an increase of 32% as compared to COP 1,257 billion of net income for the fiscal year 2009.
Bancolombia’s return on average stockholders’ equity in 2011 was 20.2%, up from 19.7% in 2010 and 19.6% in 2009.
Margin compression during 2011: net interest margin decreased throughout 2011 and reached 6.17% for the whole year, down from 6.38% in 2010 and 7.22% in 2009.
Provision charges, net of recoveries, totaled COP 599 billion for 2011, up 9% from COP 548 billion in 2010 and down 48% from COP 1,153 billion in 2009.
Loans and financial leases grew 27% during the year. This performance was driven primarily by significant increase in economic activity in Colombia, which led to an increase in credit demand from individuals and corporations.
Reserves for loan losses represented 4.6% of total loans and 210% of past-due loans at the end of 2011, while capital adequacy at December 31, 2011 was 12.5% (Tier 1 ratio of 9.0%), lower than the 14.7% (Tier 1 ratio of 10.3%) reported at the end of 2010.
Deposits increased 20% during 2011, while the ratio of net loans to deposits (including borrowings from development banks) was 105% at the end of the year, up from 100% at December 31, 2010.
REVENUE PERFORMANCE
Net Interest Income
For the year 2011, net interest income totaled COP 3,904 billion, up 15% as compared to COP 3,389 billion in 2010 and up 3% as compared to COP 3,802 billion in 2009. This performance is explained by the combined effect of a slight decline in interest margins, which was offset by steady growthprofits obtained in the loan portfolio duringcountry equivalent to 25%. This corporate tax rate has been in effect since 2013 and will continue indefinitely into the year. During 2011, the Central Bank increased its reference rate from 3% to 4.75%, which reduced money supply in the economy. Net interest margin was 6.17% for the year, down from 6.38% in 2010. Net interest income represented 62% of revenues in 2011, compared to 62% in 2010 and 67% in 2009.
Interest income, which is the sum of interest on loans, financial leases, overnight funds and income from investment securities, totaled COP 5,946 billion in 2011, up 20% as compared to COP 4,961 billion in 2010 and down 7.5% as compared to COP 6,428 billion in 2009.
Interest on loans and financial leases reflected an increase in interest rates during 2011. The weighted average nominal interest rate on loans and financial leases decreased to 10% in 2011 from 10.3% in 2010 and 13.1% in 2009. As a result, interest on loans and financial leases totaled COP 5,301 billion (89% of interest income) and increased 19% as compared to COP 4,464 billion (90% of interest income) in 2010, and decreased 6% as compared to COP 5,623 billion (87% of interest income) in 2009.
Interest on investment securities, which includes, among other items, the interest paid or accrued on debt securities and mark-to-market valuation adjustments, totaled COP 626 billion in 2011, up 38% as compared to 2010 and down 14% as compared to 2009.
Regarding interest expenses, interest incurred on liabilities totaled COP 2,042 billion in 2011, up 30% as compared to COP 1,572 billion in 2010, and down 22% as compared to COP 2,625 billion in 2009. Such an increase in interest expenses is explained by higher interest rates incurred on deposits. Overall, the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.7% in 2011 from 3.4% in 2010, but was lower than the 5.6% in 2009.
Net Fees and Income from Financial Services
For the year 2011, net fees and income from services totaled COP 1,669 billion, up 6% as compared to COP 1,581 billion in 2010 and up 11% as compared to COP 1,506 billion in 2009. This increase was driven primarily by the performance of credit and debit card annual fees, banking services and collection and payments fees.
Bancolombia distribution channels performed an increasing number of transactions in 2011. In particular, our banking operation in Colombia performed about 1.17 billion transactions during 2011, which represents an increase of 6% as compared to the levels experienced in 2010. The higher transactional levels, together with fee increases and the elimination of fee exemptions in certain payment instruments (such as debit cards and credit cards) for some segments explained the performance of fees.
Other Operating Income
For 2011, total other operating income was COP 691 billion, 29% higher than the COP 535 billion reported in 2010, and 81% higher than the COP 381 billion obtained in 2009.
Revenue from communication, postage, rent and others had a significant impact in the other operating income line of COP 225 billion, 27% in 2011 higher than the COP 177 billion reported in 2010, and 44% higher than the COP 156 billion obtained in 2009.
forseeable future. In addition, the sale of Bancolombia’s stake in AFP Crecer positively affected other operating income in the year. As part of this transaction, the Bank recorded non-recurringcapital gains on sales of equities of COP 138 billion for 2011.
Insurance income totaled COP 46 billion in 2011, 1,543% higher than COP 2.8 billion reported in 2010. With the completion of the sale of AFP Crecer in El Salvador, the revenues from the insurance business began reflecting revenue that was offset in the consolidation process prior to the sale. As a result, insurance income presented a significant increase in 2011.
Foreign exchange net gains increased significantly by 80% from COP 62 billion in 2010 to COP 112 billion in 2011. Gains on forward contracts in foreign currency fell by 73% from COP 40 billion in 2010 to COP 11 billion in 2011.
Operating expenses
For 2011, operating expenses totaled COP 3,606 billion, up 16% as compared to COP 3,098 billion in 2010 and 25% up as compared to COP 2,895 billion in 2009.
Personnel expenses (the sum of salaries and employee benefits, bonus plan payments and indemnities) totaled COP 1,442 billion in 2011, up 11% as compared to 2010. This performance was primarily driven by the combined effect of increased headcount and wage increments during 2011. Salaries in 2011 were raised in line with the 2010 inflation rate of 3.17%.
Administrative and other expenses totaled COP 1,780 billion in 2011, up 22% as compared to 2010 and up 26% as compared to 2009, driven by increased taxes other than income taxes and expenses paid in connection with software development and IT upgrades.
Depreciation expenses totaled COP 223 billion in 2011, increasing 14% as compared to COP 196 billion in 2010. This increase was driven by the growth in the operating lease business of Bancolombia.
Provision Charges and Credit Quality
For the year 2011, provision charges (net of recoveries) totaled COP 599 billion (or 1% of average loans), which represents an increase of 9% as compared to COP 548 billion in 2010 (or 1.2% of average loans) and a decrease of 48% as compared to COP 1,153 billion in 2009 (or 2.6% of average loans). The lower level of provisions was driven by lower net charge-offs in our loan portfolio and lower reserve additions across all credit segments, reflecting the better economic activity and stronger labor markets and consequently improved credit profile of our loan portfolio.
Net loan charge-offs totaled COP 532 billion in 2011, down 19% from COP 658 billion in 2010 and down 43% from COP 926 billion in 2009. Past-due loans amounted to COP 1,341 billion in 2011, down 4% as compared to COP 1,396 billion in 2010, and 18% lower than COP 1,627 billion in 2009.
The delinquencies ratio (loans overdue more than 30 days divided by total loans) reached 2.18% as of the end of 2011, down from 2.87% at the end of 2010 and down from 3.87% at the end of 2009.
Merger Expenses and Goodwill Amortization
For the year ended December 31, 2011, goodwill amortization amounted to COP 51 billion, down 9% from COP 56 billion in 2010 and down 26% from COP 69 billion in 2009.
As of December 31, 2011, outstanding goodwill totaled COP 680 billion, which represents a 9% decrease from COP 751 billion at the end of 2010. Outstanding goodwill represented 0.8% of the Bank’s total assets and primarily comprises the goodwill related to the acquisition of Banagrícola, which is being amortized over 20 years beginning in May 2007.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
Net non-operating income, which includes gains/losses from the sale of foreclosed assets, premises and other assets and income from minority interests, totaled COP 76 billion in 2011, 12% lower than COP 86 billion in 2010. This performance is explained by higher non-operating income in 2010, which increased 10% compared to 2009, driven by gains on the sale of premises.
Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expense for the fiscal year 2011 totaled COP 471 billion, down 7% as compared to COP 508 billion in 2010 and 2% above the COP 462 billion in 2009.
Tax expense is determined for every subsidiary following the tax law of the country where it is domiciled. It is important to note that Bancolombia (unconsolidated), Leasing Bancolombia, Banca de Inversion Bancolombia and Fiduciaria Bancolombia signed an agreement with the Government of Colombia in order to be subject to the tax stability regime for ten years beginning on January 2001. Pursuant to the tax stability regime, those firms agreed to be taxed two percentage points above the applicable income tax rate in Colombia in exchange for an exemption with regard to any new national taxes or rates required after the date of the agreement. For this reason, in 2010, 2009 and 2008, Bancolombia (unconsolidated), Leasing Bancolombia, Banca de Inversion Bancolombia and Fiduciaria Bancolombia did not pay the financial transaction tax, equity tax or income surtax. Consequently, Bancolombia (unconsolidated), Leasing Bancolombia, Banca de Inversion Bancolombia and Fiduciaria Bancolombia wereare taxed at a total income tax rate of 35%10%, and dividends, other gains, and net income are taxed at a rate of 5%. Also, some corporates are allowed to adopt a simplified tax regime for calculating income tax. This alternative defines a tax of 5% on monthly income up to an amount of Q. 30,000, plus an additional 7% on any income surpassing the fiscal years 2010, 2009 and 2008, two percentage points above the required tax rate for the companies that were not subject to the tax stability regime in Colombia. This agreement terminated in December 31, 2010 (in the case of Fiduciaria Bancolombia, the agreement was terminated in December 31, 2009). As a result of the expiration of the tax stability regime agreement, Bancolombia is subject to any new taxes or increases in tax rates that are implemented on or after January 1, 2011.monthly taxable income base.

Market Scenario
Macroeconomic policies established by Colombia’sThe Colombian Central Bank impact directlygradually increased the liquidity levelsreference rate 25 basis points per month from September to December 31, 2015 after more than a year of stability, for a total increase of 125 basis points during 2015. The reference rate stood at 5.75%. The change in the macroeconomic policy was due to increasing inflation throughout the second half of the financial system. Duringyear, reaching 6.77% (annual variation) for the first semesterfull year 2015, a level which was 277 basis points above the upper limit of 2012,the target range of the Central Bank raised its reference rate by 50 basis points(2% - 4%).
This upward trend in inflation was mainly due to the high economic growth observed during 2011. However, lower global economic growth started to impact Colombia’s economic performance“El Niño” weather phenomenon and the Colombian peso devaluation pass-through that impacted tradable goods and services. Higher inflation is addressed by the Central Bank by increasing its monetary policy rate, decreased 129 basis points as comparedwhich tends to reduce the variationmoney supply in the aggregated price leveleconomy, therefore, exacerbating competition for deposits.
Additionally, during 2015 the Colombian economy started a process of 2011 (3.73%)deceleration which hadwas characterized by a stagnation of the internal demand, especially in concern to aggregate demand and government spending, and a considerable decreasing in net exports. Also, the labor market weakened, which led to a changedeceleration in monetary policy; consequently,private consumption.
For all of the Central Bank decided to reduceabove reasons, the reference rate by 100 basis points duringcost of funding the second semester of 2012. At year end 2012 the Central Bank reference rate was 50 basis points lower than at year end 2011. Even though monetary policy’s objective aimed to improve credit conditions by means of lower interest rates, the Government’s budget execution was slow, liquidity levels were relatively low, and, as a consequence, the mentioned reductionBank’s liabilities increased in the reference interest rate did not have an immediate impact inlast quarter of 2015; nevertheless, the financial system’s cost of funding. The Bank continued to have a strong liquidity position and thecomplied with internal and regulatory limits were assured.limits.
Liquidity Management
The “ALCO”, Asset and Liability Management Committee, or ALCO, defines the main policies of liquidity and funding of the Bank in accordance with the Bank’s desired balance sheetstatement of financial position structure.
The Bank uses a variety of funding sources to generate liquidity, taking into consideration market conditions, interest rates, liquidity needs and the desired maturity profile of funding instruments. Consequently, policies are designed to achieve an optimal match between assets and liabilities profile regarding maturities, interest rates and currency exposure.
One of the Bank’s main strategies is to maintain a solid liquidity position, thus, the ALCO has established a minimum amount of liquid assets, calculated in relative terms to the total assets,based on calculations of maximum expected withdrawals of deposits, disbursements and other obligations in order to guarantee the proper operation of banking activities such as lending and withdrawals of deposits, protect capital and take advantage of market opportunities.capital. The ALCO has delegated the short termshort-term liquidity assessment task to the Liquidity Committee, which revises strategies and policies regarding liquidity.
Stress tests scenarios are simulated periodically to guarantee the Bank has sufficient time to raise funds under adverse market conditions. In addition, the Bank has defined a contingency liquidity plan that allows the organization to raise funds under stressstressed market scenarios.
Liquid Assets
During 2012,2015, the Bank maintained a solid liquidity position. As mentioned above, the Bank seeks the optimum level of liquid assets to assure not only the proper daily operation of banking activities but also to operate under stress market scenarios.

The Bank measures liquid assets on a daily basis and compares this result withto an objective target of minimum requirements defined by the ALCO. Under this rule, daily liquid assets must be equal to or higher than this target. In the event the limit is not reached, there is a 5-dayfive-day period to increase liquidity levels.

The Bank´sBank’s expansion across the Colombian territory requires considerable levels of cash; however, cash levels are daily monitored in order to minimize opportunity costs. Additionally, cash is taken into account in the mandatory bank reserve established by the Central Bank.
The levels of cash at major Central Bank’sBanks have a relationship with mandatory bank reserves associated with the growth of demand and time deposits.
Debt securities in the table shown are not affected by haircuts. Securities that comprise liquid assets are reviewed by the ALCO in light of the Bank’s liquidity objective.

Some of them are mandatory investments that are received by the Central BanksBank as collateral. A portion of them, mainly CEDEL (Liquidity Certificates issued by El Salvador Central Bank) constitute legal reserve. These investments are taken into account as liquid assets since they are used for what the Bank has defined as its liquidity needs which includes mandatory legal reserve.

The loan portfolio is affected by the historical default indicator and the maturity of deposits is modeled according to the regulation. All of Bancolombia’s Colombian banking subsidiaries met this regulatory limit throughout the year.
The Bank’s management believes that the current level of liquidity is adequate and will seek to maintain its solid deposit base and the access to alternative sources of funding such as borrowings from domestic development banks, securitizations, repurchase agreements, bond issuances, overnight funds and Central Bank funds, in light of market conditions, interest rates and the desired maturity profile of liabilities.

B.2. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND TREASURY ACTIVITIES |
The Bank’s treasury division is able to carry out all transactions in local or foreign currencies that are legally authorized in Colombia. These include derivative transactions, purchase and sale of fixed income securities and indexed securities, repurchase or resale transactions, short sales, temporary securities transfers, simultaneous transactions and transactions on the foreign currency exchange market.
The Bank monitors treasury division activities through policies regarding management of liquidity, market, legal, credit and operational risks. Such policies are monitored by the Vice President of Risk Management. In order to be able to control market and liquidity risks, the Bank sets limits intended to keep its exposure levels and losses within certain ranges determined by the Bank’s boardBoard of directors.Directors. The Bank’s investment policies do not include restrictions regarding the maturity of the securities held in the portfolio, except those related to the liquidity portfolio.portfolio and over the counter (“OTC”) derivatives transactions.
Before taking any additional positions, the Bank’s treasury division also verifies, with respect to investments in local and in foreign currencies, the availability of funds for investment and each investment’s compatibility with the Bank’s liquidity structure.
As further described in “ItemItem 11. Quantitative“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk”, the market risk stated in the treasury book is measured using methodologies of value at risk (VaR),VaR, and the position limits are based on the results of these methodologies. The Bank has defined VaR limits that follow a hierarchical structure, which avoidavoids the concentration of market risk in certain groups of assets and also taketakes advantage of portfolio diversification. In addition to VaR limits, the Bank also uses stop loss advisories to inform senior management when losses are close to certain established thresholds in the trading book. Moreover, for the options portfolio, the Bank has set limits based on the sensitivity of the portfolio to the underlying volatility, foreign currency and interest rates.
As part of its operation,operations, the Bank holds cash and cash equivalents primarily in Colombian pesos and U.S. dollars. Nevertheless, thoseThose positions, as well as any other currency position, are determined by the treasury division in connection with the Bank’s currency risk assessment and management. Specifically, the Bank’s exposure to currency risk primarily arises from changes in the U.S. dollar/COP exchange rate. The exposure to currency risk is managed by the Bank’s treasury division. The Bank uses a VaR calculation to limit the exposure to currency risk of its balance sheet.statement of financial position. These limits are supervised on a daily basis by the Bank’s Market Risk Management Office.market risk management office.

Net provision charges increased significantly over the past year (93% compared to 2014). Future levels of loan volumes, interest margins and cost of credit will be key drivers of the Bank’s performance. The following is a brief discussion of recent trends with regard to those three elements.
Loan Volume Performance
Gross loans and financial leases (i.e., before allowance for loans and financial lease losses) increased 14%26% during 2012.2015.
Economic activity in Colombia and consumer confidence remained strong.weakened during the second half of the year. As a result, demandthe pace of loan growth slowed and even the dynamic mortgage market decelerated late in mortgages and consumer loans picked up vigorously and commercial loans kept growing. During 2012,the year. Nevertheless, during 2015, commercial loans grew 11%31%, consumer loans grew 16%12%, small business loans grew 6%mortgages increased 22%, financial leases grew 21% and mortgages (including securitized mortgages) increased 23%microcredit expanded 35%.
Economic growth in El Salvador was slow in 20122015 and Banco Agrícola’s loan book expanded only 6.8%3% as there was weak demand from corporatecorporates and individuals. This slow growth generated a lagging effect in the Bank’s overall book.
USD-denominatedCredit demand in Banistmo was moderate, due to the slow down in economic growth over the last year. The total loan book grew 9%, which was expected in last year’s more challenging environment. This growth level is more in line with growth in Guatemala than with growth in El Salvador, which despite solid financial performance does not provide high growth rates.
Loan growth in Guatemala was the highest in Central America, thereby growing 13% for 2015. GAH in Guatemala operates in Central America’s largest country, which provides a favorable growth environment.
Foreign-denominated loans decreased 16%increased 79% during 2012.2015. Corporations in Colombia and off shore financing, particularly in Central America did not demanddemanded this type of loan as they didthe Banistmo’s loans, all of them denominated in USD, contributed to the previous year.

During 2012, the Bank did not suffer a significant impact from corporations funding their capital needs in the debt markets. Mid-size companies and SMEs demanded more credit and that allowed the Bank to grow its loan portfolio.this line.
Credit demand is expected to be strongmoderate even further in 20132016 as the economy in Colombia continuesis expected to growslow down considerably, as individuals and corporations demand consumer and commercial loans,less credit, and as the economy in El Salvador recoverscontinues to recover from the crisis of 2008 - 2010.

Net Interest Margins
The majority of the Bank’s loan book has a variable rate (57%(53% of loans have a maturity of more than one year and earn interest at variable rates) and the re-pricing pace of our assets tends to be faster than that of our liabilities. The interest rate increasesincrease in Colombiathe bank’s cost of funding during the firstsecond half of 2012 had a positive effect onthe year contributed to the Bank’s slightly lower net interest margins as there was less pressure on them.margins. As a result, the net interest margin increaseddecreased from 5.6%5.30% 2014 to 5.25% in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 5.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012.2015.
The bank’sBank’s strategy during the year was to support the net interest margin by changing the mix of deposits and increasing the proportion of average demand deposits (savings and checking accounts) which are less expensive than time deposits and also maintaining funding costs as low as possible on each type of deposits.deposit.
AmpleMore liquidity, a more favorable deposit mix (one with a greater proportion of average demand deposits) and potentialconsistent increases in the interest rates in the economy point toward stability intowards improving net interest margins in 2013.2016.
Cost of credit
For the year 2012,2015, the cost of credit was 1.7%1.3% of average loans, higher thanwhich is not comparable to last year’s numbers because of the 1.1% experienced in 2011 and the 1.2% in 2010.adoption of full IFRS reporting standards.

E. | OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS |
The following are the off-balance sheet arrangements in which Bancolombiathe Bank is involved: standby letters of credit, letters of credit and bank guarantees.
Standby letters of credit and bank guarantees are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. BancolombiaThe Bank typically has recourse to recover from the customer any amounts paid under these guarantees. In addition, Bancolombiathe Bank may hold cash or other highly liquid collateral to support these guarantees.
At December 31, 2012, 20112015 and 2010,2014, outstanding letters of creditcredits and bank guarantees issued by Bancolombiathe Bank totaled COP 4,440,515 million, COP 4,054,4947,164,613 million and COP 3,198,1436,727,055 million, respectively.
The table below summarizes at December 31, 2012 and 2011 all of the Bank’s guarantees whereissued by the Bank is the guarantor.as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The total amount outstanding represents the maximum potential amount (notional amounts) that could be lost under the guarantees if there werewas a total default in full by all the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from collateral held or pledged. Such amounts greatly exceed anticipated losses.
Commissions received from these arrangements amounted to COP 27,751 million, COP 27,644 million and COP 23,250 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Unused credit lines amounted to COP 2,844,74510,516,134 million and COP 2,468,5879,438,002 million at December 31, 20122015 and 2011.2014.

G. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES |
The following are consideredBank has defined some critical accounting policies, given their significant impact on the financial condition and operating performance of the Bank. ThisFor further information should be read together with Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies of2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES UNDER COLOMBIAN BANKING GAAP
Evaluation of loan portfolio risk and determination of allowances for loan losses:Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank currently evaluates loan portfolio risk according to the rules issued by the SFC, which establishes qualitative and quantitative standards for assigning a risk category to individual assets. The qualitative analysis includes the evaluation of “potential weaknesses”, “deficiencies” or “serious deficiencies” based on the existence and magnitude of specific factors, according to the judgment of management. For the quantitative evaluation, the Bank first determines whether the loan has become due and then classifies the loan according to the number of days past-due.
Commercial and consumer loans are provisioned following standard models developed by the SFC. According to the models, the allowance for loan losses is stated through the calculation of the Expected Loss.
Small business loans and mortgage loans are provisioned considering a minimum allowance level for each credit category. In addition, a general allowance equal to 1% of the outstanding loan balance is required.
The Bank considers the accounting estimates used in the methodology to determine the allowance for loan losses to be “critical accounting estimates” because: (a) by its nature, the allowance requires the Bank to make judgments and assumptions regarding the Bank’s loan portfolio, (b) the methodology used in its determination is based on the existence and magnitude of determined factors that are not necessarily an indication of future losses and (c) the amount of the provision that is based on reference models for commercial and consumer portfolios and a percentage based on the risk category for small business loans and mortgage portfolios, although it is impossible to ensure that this percentage will exactly reflect the probability of loss.
Contingent Liabilities: The Bank is subject to contingent liabilities, including judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings and tax and other claims arising from the conduct of the Bank’s business activities. Under Colombian banking GAAP, reserves are established for legal and other claims by assessing the likelihood of the loss actually occurring as probable, reasonably possible or remote. Contingencies are partially provisioned and are recorded when all the information available indicates that it is probable that the Bank will be required to make disbursements in the future for events that happened before the balance sheet date and the amounts may be reasonably estimated. The Bank engages internal and external experts (lawyers and actuaries) in assessing probability and in estimating any amounts involved.
Throughout the life of a contingency, the Bank may learn of additional information that can affect assessments regarding probability or the estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments can lead to changes in recorded reserves.
The Bank considers the estimates used to determine the reserves for contingent liabilities to be “critical accounting estimates” because the probability of their occurrence and the amounts that the Bank may be required to pay are based on the Bank’s judgment and its advisers, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of the proceedings.
Pension Plan:Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank applies the provisions of Decree 4565 of 2010, which requires a distribution of charges to amortize the actuarial calculation by 2029. The distribution is calculated by taking the percentage amortized up to December 2009 and annually adding the minimum percentages needed to complete amortization by 2029. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank has completed the amortization of the total amount resulting from the calculation performed in accordance with Decree 4565. Under the Bank’s non-contributory unfunded defined benefit pension plan, benefits are based on length of service and level of compensation.
The Bank considers that the accounting estimates related to its pension plan are “critical accounting estimates” because the determination of the contributions to the plan involves judgments and assumptions made by the actuaries related to the future macroeconomic and employee demographic factors, among others, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of such factors.
Recognition of Business Combinations:Upon a business combination, the Colombian purchase method of accounting requires that (i) the purchase price be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of their book value, (ii) the statement of income of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs includes the income of the acquired company as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the reporting period and (iii) the costs directly related to the purchase business combination not be considered as a cost of the acquisition, but deferred and amortized over a reasonable period as determined by management.
The pooling of interests method of accounting requires the aggregate of the stockholders’ equity of the entities included in the business.
The Conavi/Corfinsura Merger was accounted for using the pooling of interests method in accordance with the methodology suggested by the SFC. The Sufinanciamiento (now Tuya S.A. Compañía de Financiamiento), Comercia (now Factoring Bancolombia) and Banagrícola acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method under Colombian banking GAAP.
Goodwill Recognized Upon Business Combinations:The Bank tests goodwill recognized upon business combinations for impairment at least annually using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of a reporting unit. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. However, if certain criteria are met, the requirement to test goodwill for impairment annually can be satisfied without a re-measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit. Fair value is determined by management by reference to market value, if available, or by pricing models or with the assistance of a qualified evaluator. Determination of a fair value by a qualified evaluator or pricing model requires management to make assumptions and use estimates.
The most significant amounts of goodwill and intangibles relate to the acquisition of Conavi and Corfinsura in 2005 and Banagrícola in 2007. The valuation models used to determine the fair value of these companies and the intangibles are sensitive to changes in the assumptions. Adverse changes in any of these factors could lead the bank to record a goodwill or intangible impairment charge. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable in the existing market environment and commensurate with the risk profile of the assets valued. However, different assumptions and estimates could be used which would lead to different results.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, financial entities have to register amortization of goodwill. According to the guidelines issued by the SFC, the goodwill should be amortized using the exponential method, however, other methods which provide a better association between revenues and expenses are permitted. Since January, 2008, the straight-line method has been used to amortize goodwill, since the Bank considers this method to provide a better association between revenues and expenses corresponding to this investment. Under Colombian banking GAAP the Bank performs impairment test using a discounted cash flow technique.
The Bank considers amortization and impairment tests to be “critical accounting estimates” because of the importance of assumptions used in the testing and the sensitivity of the results to the assumptions used.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments at Fair Value: A portion of the Bank’s assets is carried at fair value for Colombian banking GAAP purposes, including equity and debt securities with quotations available or where quoted prices are available for similar assets, derivatives, customers’ acceptances and short-term borrowings.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the estimated amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing and independent parties. A large proportion of the Bank’s assets reported at fair value are based on quoted market prices, which provide the best indication of fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, the Bank discounts the expected cash flows using market interest rates which take into account the credit quality and maturity of the investment. The degree of management’s judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices. When observable market prices and parameters do not exist, management’s judgment is necessary to estimate fair value, in terms of estimating the future cash flows, based on variables of the instruments, the inherent credit risk and the applicable interest rate to discount those cash flows.
As of December 31, 2012, the Bank’s assets that were fair-valued using discounted cash flow techniques amounted to COP 372 billion and mainly included bonds and notes issued by the Colombian Government or its entities and corporate debt securities.
As of December 31, 2012, derivative financial instruments were not recognized based on quoted prices and as a consequence, valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, Black-Scholes and similar methodologies were performed to measure the estimated fair value, using where possible current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates and forward curves based on transactions.
The estimated fair value of instruments based upon internally developed valuation techniques could vary if other valuation methods or assumptions were used.
As of December 31, 2012, our financial derivatives that were fair-valued using discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes techniques amounted to COP 156 billion net and mainly included market rate and interest rate swaps, forwards and options.
For a further discussion on the effect of a change in interest rates and foreign exchange rates on the Bank’s portfolio see “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.
Securitizations:The Bank has securitized both performing and non-performing mortgage loans which, according to Colombian banking GAAP, have been accounted for as sales, and as such, said loans have been removed from the Bank’s balance sheet.
As of 2009 (effective date), when External Circular 047 of 2008 was issued, assets subject to portfolio securitizations could be derecognized as firm transfers or disposals providing the following conditions were fulfilled:
Also, this new regulation provided that in cases where the transferor retains a positive residual interest, it may record as an investment the fair value of the residual interest subject to the conditions defined for this purpose in the applicable rules and regulations of the issue in question, with a balancing entry in the investment valuation income account. This value must be updated at least every year, on the anniversary of the date on which the SPV was set up and in any case on the closing date of the fiscal period in question. As a result of the above, the Bank has recognized retained interest as held to maturity debt securities in the amount of COP 138,983 million and COP 95,749 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Equity tax:Since 2007 Colombian tax regulations require companies to pay an annual special tax defined as “Equity tax” calculated based on their net assets established on their tax basis as of January 1 of each year at the statutory tax rate of 1.2%. The equity tax is in addition to corporate income tax. During 2010 and 2011 a new regulation required companies to calculate this tax only once for the subsequent four years as of January 1, 2011 at the tax rate of 6% and payable in 8 semi-annual installments over four years without interest. The equity tax calculated by companies in accordance with Colombian banking GAAP is recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the four years proportionately against stockholders’ equity and income.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES UNDER U.S. GAAP
Allowance of Deferred Tax Assets
A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. Future realization of the tax benefit of existing deductible temporary differences or carry forwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods.
In determining a valuation allowance, the Bank performs a review of future taxable income (required for reversing temporary differences and carry forwards) and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Due to the continuing weak economic conditions, the determination of the valuation allowance involves difficult judgments to estimate future taxable income.
With regard to state taxes, Bancolombia is subject to Colombian tax legislation. In the case of its companies based in El Salvador and Peru, it must also calculate the corresponding taxes according to Salvadorian and Peruvian tax legislations.
With regard to municipal and departmental taxes, these must be calculated according to tax legislation applicable in each of the municipal jurisdictions in which the Bank’s branch offices are located.
The application of tax legislation is subject to diverse interpretations on the part of both taxpayers and the Colombian tax authorities (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales).
When calculating deferred tax, the Bank considers future estimates, the figures recorded on its consolidated financial statements.
However, the deferred tax asset is considered as a critical accounting policy, due to tax determinations involving estimates of profits and future taxable incomes that will be settled in future years; such estimates can be affected by changes on the economic conditions. The valuation allowance has been determined based on estimations of taxable income and the applications of the current fiscal laws.
Evaluation of Loan Portfolio Risk and Determination of Allowances for Loan Losses:Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank considers loans to be impaired when it is probable that all amounts of principal and interest will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance for significant impaired loans are assessed based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate or the fair value of the collateral in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is provided when discounted future cash flows or the fair value of collateral is lower than book value.
In addition, if necessary, a specific allowance for loan losses is established for non-impaired individual loans, based on statistic modeling, recent back testing results, expectations about the economy’s behavior, recent and future loss experience, credit scores, the risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans and other factors directly influencing potential collectability and affecting the quality of the loan portfolio.
Determining the allowance for loan losses requires a significant amount of management judgment and estimates including, among others, identifying impaired loans, determining customers’ ability to pay and estimating the fair value of underlying collateral or the expected future cash flows to be received.
To calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance impaired loans and unimpaired loans, historical loss ratios are determined by analyzing historical losses. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type (commercial and consumer, microcredit and mortgage) and thus for homogeneous groups of clients depending on their scoring and portfolio segment. Such historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.
Allowances on homogeneous loan portfolios are established based on probability of default, which is defined as the probability that the debtor within a specific loan portfolio or segment and rating, will default on their obligations within the next twelve (12) months. Under U.S. GAAP, this probability of default is determined by analyzing estimated defaults or foreclosures based on portfolio trends, historical losses, client’s payment behavior with past-due loans greater than 90 days, delinquencies, bankruptcies, economic conditions and credit scores.
Another parameter associated to the client’s allowance under homogeneus groups is the Loss Given Default (“LGD”), which is a function of the guarantee and the number of days that each loan is past due. The Bank applies the parameters designated by the SFC, but in 2012, it calculated some parameters under a proprietary model based on historical information of recoveries from defaulted clients.
A one-percent decrease in the expected cash flows could result in an impairment of the portfolio of approximately COP 6,236 million. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the decline in risk ratings or the increases in loss rates, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the allowance for loan and lease losses to changes in key inputs. The Bank believes the risk ratings and loss severities currently in use are appropriate and represent management’s expectations about the credit risk inherent in its loan portfolio.
The Bank considers accounting estimates related to provisions for loans and advances “critical accounting estimates” because: (i) they are highly susceptible to change from period to period as the assumptions about future default rates and valuation of potential losses relating to impaired loans and advances are based on recent performance experience, and (ii) any significant difference between the Bank’s estimated losses (as reflected in the provisions) and actual losses would require the Bank to take provisions which, if significantly different, could have a material impact on its future financial condition and results of operations. The Bank’s assumptions about estimated losses are based on past performance, past customer behavior, the credit quality of recent underwritten business and general economic conditions, which are not necessarily an indication of future losses.
Pension Plan:Under U.S. GAAP, actuarial valuation of its pension plan is performed annually using the projected unit credit method in accordance with ASC 715 Compensation-Retirement Benefits and prepared using actuarial, economic and demographic assumptions about future events.
The Bank considers the accounting estimates related to its pension plan to be “critical accounting estimates” because the determination of the contributions to the plan involves judgments and assumptions made by the actuaries related to the future macroeconomic and employee demographic factors, among others, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of such factors.
Recognition and Measurement of Intangibles Recognized Upon Business Combinations:Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition purchase method of accounting which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The application of the acquisition method requires certain estimates and assumptions, especially concerning the determination of fair values of the acquired intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, as well as the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition.
In addition, the useful lives of acquired intangible assets, property, plant and equipment have to be determined. The judgments made in the context of the purchase price allocation can materially impact the Bank’s future results of operations. Accordingly, for significant acquisitions, the Bank obtains assistance from third-party valuation specialists. The valuations are based on information available at the acquisition date and different methodologies are used for each intangible identified.
Goodwill and Intangibles Recognized Upon Business Combinations:Under U.S. GAAP, for business acquisitions that occurred before January 1, 2009, goodwill was measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since January 1, 2009, goodwill has beenmeasured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Bank tests goodwill recognized upon business combinations for impairment at least annually using a two-step process that begins with an estimation of the fair value of a reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment; which is a business component that earns revenues and incurs expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by management to assess performance and allocate resources. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, and the second step measures the amount of impairment, if any. However, if certain criteria are met, the requirement to test goodwill for impairment annually can be satisfied without a re-measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit. Fair value is determined by management by reference to market value, if available, by pricing models, or with the assistance of a qualified evaluator. Determination of fair value by a qualified evaluator or pricing model requires management to make assumptions and use estimates to forecast cash flow for periods that are beyond the normal requirements of management reporting; the assessment of the discount rate appropriate to the reporting unit; estimation of the fair value of reporting units; and the valuation of the separable assets of each business whose goodwill is being reviewed.
The amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit and the key assumptions used by management in determining the fair value are:

There are no reporting units close to failing the first step of the impairment test performed during 2012.
The long-term growth rates have been based on respective country GDP rates adjusted for inflation. The risk discount rates are based on observable market long-term Government bond yields and average industry betas adjusted for an appropriate risk premium.
The most significant amounts of goodwill and intangibles relate to the Conavi/Corfinsura Merger in 2005 (allocated to Bancolombia, Tuya and Factoring Reporting Unit) and the acquisition of Banagrícola in 2007. The valuation models used to determine the fair value of these companies and the intangibles are sensitive to changes in the assumptions. Significant adverse changes in discount rate or growth rate could lead the Bank to record a goodwill or intangible impairment charge. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable in the existing market environment and commensurate with the risk profile of the assets valued. However, different assumptions and estimates could be used which would lead to different results.
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments at Fair Value:Effective January 1, 2008, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank adopted ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (revised on January 1, 2012). As a result, the Bank has made amendments to the techniques used in measuring the fair value in order to include considerations about credit risk, as described below.
The Bank holds debt and equity securities, derivatives, assets-backed securities, loans, short-term borrowings and long-term debt, to meet clients’ needs and to manage liquidity needs and market risk.
When available, the Bank generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and classifies such items within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy established under ASC 820. Where available, the Bank may also make use of quoted prices for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates and option volatilities. Financial instruments valued in this manner are classified within level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy under ASC 820.
When an internally developed model is used to price a significant product, it is subject to validation and testing by independent personnel and the item would be classified as Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy established under ASC 820.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, beginning January 1, 2008 with the adoption of fair-value measurement guidance, the Bank has measured the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of certain financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis.
Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives, such as over-the-counter derivatives, where the base valuation uses market parameters based on the LIBOR, the COP interest rate curve implicit in the Cross Currency Swap Curve and foreign exchange curves.
The Bank generally calculates the asset’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with international financial institutions by incorporating indicative credit related pricing that is generally observable in the Credit Default Swap (“CDS”) market. The credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with all other counterparties is calculated by incorporating unobservable credit data derived from internal credit qualifications to the financial institutions and corporations located in Colombia.
The Bank also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if the Bank believes market participants would take that into account when trading the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bank’s credit risk on an instrument is in the same as for third-party credit risk.
A hundred basis point and two hundred basis point increase in our own credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in a decrease of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 1,262 and COP 2,541, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in our own credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.
A hundred basis point and two hundred basis point increase in the counterparty credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in an increase of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 6,875 and COP 13,440, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in the counterparties credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.
The Bank is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of certain assets or provide valuation allowances related to certain assets using fair-value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Bank records nonrecurring adjustments for including certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated in accordance with ASC 450 Contingencies when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Estimates of fair value used for collateral supporting loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were COP 166,864 million and COP 238,228 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, classified as Level 3. Changes in fair value recognized for loan impairment reserves on loans held by the Bank on December 31, 2012 and 2011, represented impairment losses of COP 41,036 million and COP 83,968 million, for the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Bank conducts regular reviews to assess whether other than temporary impairment exists, in accordance with ASC 320. If the Bank determines that unrealized losses are temporary in nature, they are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
U.S. GAAP requires, when an entity intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the recognition in earnings of the impairment loss on investment securities for decline in fair value. Determinations of whether a decline is other than a temporary decline often involve estimating the outcome of future events. Management judgment is required in determining whether factors exist that indicate that an impairment loss has been incurred at the balance sheet date. These judgments are based on subjective as well as objective factors. The Bank conducts a review semi-annually to identify and evaluate investment securities that have indications of possible impairment.
The Bank has determined that unrealized losses on investments as of December 31, 2012 are temporary in nature because it does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost.
The substantial majority of the investments in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more are primarily securities issued by Titularizadora Colombiana, denominated in Unidad de Valor Real (the “Real Value Unit” or “UVR”). Unrealized losses may decline as interest rates fall below the purchased yield and as the securities approach maturity. Since the Bank does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which could be maturity, the unrealized loss is considered temporary.
The Bank considers that the accounting estimate related to the valuation of financial assets and financial liabilities, including derivatives where quoted market prices are not available to be a ���critical accounting estimate’ because: (i) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to make assumptions about interest rates, volatility, exchange rates, the credit rating of the counterparty, valuation adjustments and specific features of the transactions and (ii) the impact that recognizing a change in the valuations would have on the assets reported on its balance sheet as well as its net profit/(loss) could be material.
Securitizations: Before 2010, if SPE activities were sufficiently restricted to meet certain accounting requirements in order to be considered a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE), the trust was not consolidated by the seller of the transferred assets. Additionally, under ASC 810 Consolidation, if trusts other than QSPEs met the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE), the Bank evaluated whether the bank was the primary beneficiary of the trust and, if so, consolidated the trust. For U.S. GAAP purposes, since the activities of some vehicles were not sufficiently restricted to meet certain accounting requirements in order to be considered a QSPE, these vehicles were deemed variable interest entities in accordance with ASC 810 and therefore, in those cases where the Bank holds the majority of the residual interests in these vehicles, the Bank concluded it was the primary beneficiary as the party that expects to absorb the majority of the expected losses of such vehicles.
Under U.S. GAAP, beginning in 2010, the Bank adopted the new standard established in ASC 810 “Accounting for transfers of financial assets”. Under the new standard, there are two key accounting determinations that must be made relating to securitizations. A decision must be made as to whether a transfer would be considered a sale under U.S. GAAP, resulting in the transferred assets being removed from the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet with a gain or loss recognized. Alternatively, the transfer would be considered a secured borrowing, resulting in recognition of a liability in the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet. The second key determination to be made is whether the securitization vehicle must be consolidated and included in our consolidated balance sheet or whether such securitization vehicle is sufficiently independent that it does not need to be consolidated. This change in accounting principle did not have a material effect to the Bank’s U.S. GAAP disclosures.
Under ASC 810 Consolidation, in order to determine if trusts other than SPEs meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE), the Bank must evaluate whether the Bank is the primary beneficiary of the trust and, if so, must consolidate the trust. In those cases where the Bank holds the majority of the residual interests in these vehicles, the Bank concludes it is the primary beneficiary as the party that receives benefits or absorbs losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE and the Bank consolidates the trust.
Additionally and in order to consolidate these vehicles used to securitize the Bank’s performing loans, the Bank records loans net of allowance for loan losses. For this process, the Bank considers the evaluation of loan portfolio risk and determination of allowances for loan losses under U.S. GAAP to be “critical accounting estimates” because it is based on estimations. (See more details above in Evaluation of Loan Portfolio Risk and Determination of Allowances for Loan Losses in this item).
The table below presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of VIEs of the securitizations of performing loans which have been consolidated on the Bank’s balance sheet at December 31, 2012 and 2011:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Assets | COP | 1,736,521 | COP | 3,022,500 | ||||
Liabilities | 787,819 | 1,636,952 | ||||||
Allowance for loan losses | COP | 122,971 | COP | 144,036 |
The allowance for loan losses represents the management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the portfolio.
In March 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830)”: to resolve the diversity in practice related to the cumulative translation adjustment derecognition guidance in Subtopic 830-30 for the derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity and for changes in an investment in a foreign entity. Furthermore, the ASU 2013-05 resolves the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. The requirements will be effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. Management is currently evaluating the impact the ASU 2013-05 would have on the Bank’s financial statements and U.S. GAAP disclosures.
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. The amendments require additional disclosures of items reclassified from accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) to net income. The requirements will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Management has concluded that the adoption has no significant impact on the Bank’s U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments clarify that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of Update 2011-11. Management is currently evaluating the impact the amendments would have on the Bank’s financial statement and U.S. GAAP disclosures
In October 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” to provide: 1) clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both, which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification; and 2) clarify certain guidance in various Topics of the Codification to fully reflect the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments are not introducing any new fair value measurements and are not intended to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820 or fundamentally change other principles of U.S. GAAP. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Management is currently evaluating the impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank.
In August 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections” to amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114 related to computation of restricted net assets of subsidiaries, Presentation of Financial Statements, Notes to Financial Statements and other topics; SEC Release No. 33-9250, and ASU 2010-22, which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics related to: Form of condensed financial statements, Debt Issue Costs in Conjunction with a Business Combination, Business Combinations Prior to an Initial Public Offering,“Significant Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary and other topics. The amendments do not include an effective date, applications must be considered after publication. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank.
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Section 350-30. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Management has concluded that the ASU 2012-02 has no impact on the Bank’s annual impairment test due to the fact that the Bank has not recognized Indefinite-lived intangible assets in prior business combinations.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities (Topic 210)”, to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. Also, in January 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-01, to clarify implementation issues about the scope of ASU 2011-11, specifically, amendments related to accounting for derivatives and hedging. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact the amendments would have on the Bank’s financial statement and U.S. GAAP disclosures.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-10, “Derecognition of in substance Real Estate (Topic 360)”, to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in sub- topic 360-20 applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank for the reporting period ending on December 31, 2012 and 2011.
In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”, to simplify the way entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank for the reporting period ending on December 31, 2012 and 2011.
In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, as a result of the work developed by the FASB and the IASB to expand common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)Policies”. The amendments in this update require additional disclosures including the following: (1) information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. As a result of the Bank’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 further information related to fair value measurements has been included on the Bank’s financial statement and U.S. GAAP disclosures as of December 31, 2012. See note 31 - t) “Estimated Fair Value”.
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”, to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this update. The guidance in this update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management has not identified a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements and U.S. GAAP disclosures.
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”, to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance requires creditors to evaluate modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition, the amendments to Topic 310 clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. As a result of applying these amendments, management believes that new considerations applied in its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information have not impacted significantly the Bank’s disclosures.
In January 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in ASU 2010-20”, to temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. Under the existing effective date in ASU 2010-20, the Bank would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. According to ASU 2011-02, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, management believes that new considerations applied in its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information have not impacted significantly the Bank’s disclosures.

Set forth below is certain information concerning the Bank’s capital stock and a brief summary of certain significant provisions of the Bank’s bylaws and Colombian corporate law. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the Bank’s bylaws (an English translation of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Annual Report) and to Colombian corporate law.
Bancolombia’s Corporate Purpose
Pursuant to Article 4 of its bylaws, Bancolombia’s corporate purpose consists of all kinds of banking operations, business, acts and services. Subject to applicable law, Bancolombia may carry out all the activities and investments authorized to banks. Bancolombia is also authorized to participate in the capital stock of other companies, subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law.
Board of Directors
As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, Bancolombia’s board of directors is composed of seven directors, elected for a two-year term, with no alternate directors. For additional information regarding Bancolombia’s current directors please see Item 6.A, “Directors and Senior Management Directors”.
After being designated, all of the members of the Board of Directors need an authorization from the Superintendency of Finance. The SFC assesses whether the director has an adequate profile for the position according to the requirements under Colombian Law.
According to Decree 3923 of 2006, the election of independent directors must be in a separate ballot from the ballot to elect the rest of directors, unless the reaching of the minimum number of independent directors required by law or by the by-laws is assured, or when there is only one list that includes the minimum number of required independent directors.
According to Law 964 of 2005, 25% of the members of the board of directors shall be independent. An “independent director” is a director who is NOT: (i) an employee or director of the issuer or any of its parent or subsidiary companies, including all those persons acting in said capacity during the year immediately preceding that in which they were appointed, except in the case of an independent member of the board of directors being re-elected; (ii) shareholders, who either directly or by virtue of an agreement direct, guide or control the majority of the entity’s voting rights or who determine the majority composition of the administration, the board of directors or other corporate bodies of this same entity; (iii) a partner or employee of any association or firm that provides advisory or consultancy services to the issuer or to companies who belong to the same economic group to which the issuer in question belongs, in the event that income obtained from such services represent for said association or firm twenty percent (20%) or more of its total operating income; (iv) an employee or director of a foundation, association or institution that receives significant donations from the issuer. The term “significant donations” is quantified as being twenty percent (20%) or more of the total amount of donations received by the respective institution; (v) an administrator of any entity on whose board of directors a legal representative of the issuer participates; and (vi) any person who receives from the issuer any kind of remuneration different from fees as a member of the board of directors, of the audit committee or any other committee set up by the board of directors.
Elections are made under a proportional representation voting system. Under that system: (i) each holder of common shares is entitled at the annual general shareholders’ meeting to nominate for election one or more directors; (ii) each nomination of one or more directors constitutes a group for the purposes of the election; (iii) each group of nominees must be listed in the order of preference for nominees in that group to be elected; (iv) once all groups have been nominated, holders of common shares may cast one vote for each common share held in favor of a particular group of nominees. Votes may not be cast for particular nominees in a group; they may be cast only for the entire group; (v) the total number of votes casted in the election is divided by the number of directors to be elected. The resulting quotient is the quota of votes necessary to elect particular directors. For each time that the number of votes cast for a group of nominees is divisible by the quota of votes, one nominee from that group is elected, in the order of the list of that group; and (vi) when no group has enough remaining votes to satisfy the quota of votes necessary to elect a director, any remaining board seat or seats are filled by electing the highest remaining nominee from the group with the highest number of remaining votes cast until all available seats have been filled.
The directors of Bancolombia must abstain from participating, directly or through an intermediary, on their own behalf or on behalf of a third party, in activities that may compete against the Bank or in conflict-of-interest transactions that may generate a conflict of interest situation, unless the general shareholders meeting expressly authorizes such transactions. For such purposes, the directors shall provide the shareholders meeting with all the relevant information necessary for the shareholders to reach a decision. If the director is a shareholder, his or her vote shall be excluded from the respective decision process. In any case, the general shareholders meeting could only grant its authorization if the act does not adversely affect Bancolombia’s interests.
In the general annual shareholders meeting the shareholders are responsible for determining, the compensation of the members of the board of directors.
Pursuant to the by-laws of Bancolombia, the board of directors has the power to authorize the execution of any agreement, within the corporate purpose of Bancolombia, and to adopt the necessary measures in order for the Bank to accomplish its purpose.
The Corporate Governance Code of Bancolombia provides an age limit requirement of 65 years regarding retirement for senior management.
Description of Share Rights, Preferences and Restrictions

Pursuant to Article 8 of the bylaws, all shares issued shall have the same nominal value.

Quorum for both ordinary and extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings to be convened at first call requires the presence of two or more shareholders representing at least half plus one of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the relevant meeting. If a quorum is not present, a subsequent meeting is called at which the presence of one or more holders of shares entitled to vote at the relevant meeting constitutes a quorum, regardless of the number of shares represented. General shareholders’ meetings may be called by the board of directors, the President or the external auditor of Bancolombia. In addition, two or more shareholders representing at least 20% of the outstanding shares have the right to request that a general meeting be convened. Notice of ordinary meetings and extraordinary meetings convened to approve fiscal year-end financial statements, the reduction of the outstanding capital, the merger, spin-off or sale of more than 25% of the assets, liabilities and contracts, must be published in one newspaper of wide circulation at Bancolombia’s principal place of business at least 30 calendar days prior to such meeting. Notice of other extraordinary meetings, must be published in one newspaper of wide circulation at Bancolombia’s principal place of business at least 15 calendar days prior to such meeting listing the matters to be addressed at such meeting.
Except when Colombian law or Bancolombia’s bylaws require a special majority, action may be taken at a general shareholder’s meeting by the vote of two or more shareholders representing a majority of common shares present. Pursuant to Colombian law and/or Bancolombia’s bylaws, special majorities are required to adopt the following corporate actions: (i) a favorable vote of at least 70% of the shares represented at a general shareholders’ meeting is required to approve the issuance of shares without preemptive rights available for shareholders; (ii) a favorable vote of at least 78% of the holders of represented common shares to decide not to distribute as dividend at least 50% of the annual net profits of any given fiscal year; (iii) a favorable vote of at least 80% of the holders of represented common shares and 80% of the holders of outstanding preferred shares to approve the payment of the dividend in shares; and (iv) a favorable vote of at least 70% of the holders of common shares and of outstanding preferred shares to effect a decision to impair the conditions or rights established for such preferred shares, or a decision to convert those preferred shares into common shares.
If the Superintendency of Finance determines that any amendment to the bylaws fails to comply with Colombian law, it may demand that the relevant provisions be modified accordingly. Under these circumstances, Bancolombia will be obligated to comply in a timely manner.
Preferred Shares
The holders of preferred shares are not entitled to receive notice of, attend to or vote at any general shareholders’ meeting except as described below.
The holders of preferred shares will be entitled to vote on the basis of one vote per share at any shareholders’ meeting, whenever a shareholders vote is required on the following matters, in addition to those indicated above: (i) when voting the anticipated dissolution, merger or transformation of the corporation or change of its corporate purpose. (ii) when the preferred dividend has not been fully paid during two consecutive annual terms. In this event, holders of such shares shall retain their voting rights until the corresponding accrued dividends have been fully paid to them. (iii) if at the end of a fiscal period, the Bank’s profits are not enough to pay the minimum dividend and the Superintendency of Finance, by its own decision or upon petition of holders of at least ten percent (10%) of preferred shares, determines that benefits were concealed or shareholders were misled with regard to benefits received from the Bank by the Bank’s directors or officers decreasing the profits to be distributed, the Superintendency of Finance may resolve that holders of preferred shares should participate with speaking and voting rights at the general shareholders’ meeting, in the terms established by law. (iv) when the registration of shares at the Colombian Stock Exchange or at the Superintendency of Finance, is suspended or canceled. In this event, voting rights shall be maintained until the irregularities that resulted in such cancellation or suspension are resolved.
Bancolombia must cause a notice of any meeting at which holders of preferred shares are entitled to vote to be mailed to each record holder of preferred shares. Each notice must include a statement stating: (i) the date of the meeting; (ii) a description of any resolution to be proposed for adoption at the meeting on which the holders of preferred shares are entitled to vote; and (iii) instructions for the delivery of proxies.
Dividends
Common Shares
Once the Consolidated Financial Statements are approved by the general shareholders meeting, the appropriation for the payment of taxes of the corresponding taxable year has been made, and the transfers to the reserves have been performed, then they can determine the allocation of distributable profits, if any, of the preceding year.
Under the Colombian Commercial Code, a company must distribute at least 50% of its annual net profits to all shareholders, payable in cash, or as determined by the shareholders, within a period of one year following the date on which the shareholders determine the dividends. If the total amount segregated in all reserves of a company exceeds its outstanding capital, this percentage is increased to 70%. The minimum common stock dividend requirement of 50% or 70%, as the case may be, may be waived by a favorable vote of the holders of 78% of a company’s common stock present at the meeting.
Under Colombian law and Bancolombia’s bylaws annual net profits are to be applied as follows: (i)first, an amount equivalent to 10% of net profits is segregated to build a legal reserve until that reserve is equal to at least 50% of Bancolombia’s paid-in capital; (ii)second, payment of the minimum dividend on the preferred shares; and (iii)third, allocation of the net profits is determined by the holders of a majority of the common shares entitled to vote on the recommendation of the board of directors and the President and may, subject to further reserves required by the by-laws, be distributed as dividends. Under the Bank’s bylaws, the dividends payable to the holders of common shares cannot exceed the dividends payable to holders of the preferred shares. Bancolombia’s bylaws requires to maintain a reserve fund equal to 50% of paid-in capital. All common shares that are fully paid in and outstanding at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in that dividend or other distribution. Common shares that are only partially-paid participate in a dividend or distribution in the same proportion than the shares that have been fully paid in at the time of the dividend or distribution.
The general shareholders’ meeting may allocate a portion of the profits to welfare, education or civic services, or to support economic organizations of the Bank’s employees.
Preferred Shares
Holders of preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends based on the profits of the preceding fiscal year, after deducting losses affecting the capital and once the amount that shall be legally set apart for the legal reserve has been deducted, but before creating or accruing for any other reserve, of a minimum preferred dividend equal to one percent (1%) yearly of the subscription price of the preferred share, provided this dividend is higher than the dividend assigned to common shares, if this is not the case, the dividend shall be increased to an amount that is equal to the per share dividend on the common shares. The dividend received by holders of common shares may not be higher than the dividend assigned to preferred shares.
Payment of the preferred dividend shall be made at the time and in the manner established in the general shareholders’ meeting and with the priority indicated by Colombian law.
In the event that the holders of preferred shares have not received the minimum dividend for a period in excess of two consecutive fiscal years, they will acquire certain voting rights. See Item 10.B. “Memorandum and Articles of Association” pleaseAssociation¾Description of Share Rights, Preferences and Restrictions —Voting Rights —Preferred Shares”.
General Considerations Relating to Dividends
The dividend periods may be different from the periods covered by the statement of financial position. In the general shareholders’ meeting, shareholders will determine such dividend periods, the effective date, the system and the place for payment of dividends.
Dividends declared on the common shares and the preferred shares will be payable to the record holders of those shares, as they are recorded on Bancolombia’s stock registry, on the appropriate record dates as determined in the general shareholders’ meeting.
Any dividend in shares payable by Bancolombia will be paid in common shares to the holders of common shares and in preferred shares to the holders of preferred shares. Nonetheless, Shareholders at the general shareholders’ meeting may authorize the payment in common shares to all shareholders.
Any dividend in shares requires the approval of 80% or more of the shares present at a shareholders’ meeting, which will include 80% or more of the outstanding preferred shares. In the event that such voting majority is not obtained, shareholders may individually elect to receive a stock dividend or a cash dividend.
Liquidation Rights
Bancolombia will be dissolved if certain events take place, including the following: (i) its term of existence, as stated in the by-laws, expires without being extended by the shareholders prior to its expiration date; (ii) losses cause the decrease of its shareholders’ equity below 50% of its outstanding capital stock, unless one or more of the corrective measures described in the Colombian Commercial Code are adopted by the shareholders within six months; (iii) by decision at the general shareholders’ meeting; and (iv) in certain other events expressly provided by law and in the by-laws.
Upon dissolution, a liquidator must be appointed by the general shareholders’ meeting to wind up its affairs. In addition, the Superintendency of Finance has the power to take over the operations and assets of a bank and proceed to its liquidation under certain circumstances and in the manner prescribed in theEstatuto Orgánico del Sistema Financiero, Decree 663 of 1993. For more information see “Item 10. AdditionalItem 4. “Information on The Company - B. Business Overview - B.8. Supervision and Regulation - Bankruptcy Considerations”.
Preemptive Rights and Other Anti-Dilution Provisions
Under the Bank’s bylaws, the holders of common shares determine in their meeting the amount of authorized capital stock, and the board of directors has the power to (a) order the issuance and regulate the terms of subscription of common shares up to the total amount of authorized capital stock and (b) regulate the issuance of shares with rights to a preferential dividend but without the right to vote, when expressly delegated at the general shareholders’ meeting. The issuance of preferred shares must always be first approved at the general shareholders’ meeting, which shall determine the nature and extent of any privileges, according to the bylaws and Colombian law.
The Bank’s bylaws and Colombian law require that, whenever the Bank issues new shares of any outstanding class, it must offer the holders of each class of shares the right to purchase a number of shares of such class sufficient to maintain their existing percentage ownership of the aggregate capital stock of the Bank. These rights are called preemptive rights. See Item 3. “Key Information – B. MemorandumD. Risk Factors Preemptive rights may not be available to holders of ADRs”.
Shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders may suspend preemptive rights with respect to a particular capital increase by a favorable vote of at least 70% of the shares represented at the meeting. Preemptive rights must be exercised within the period stated in the share placement terms of the increase, which cannot be shorter than 15 business days following the publication of the notice of the public offer of that capital increase. From the date of the notice of the share placement terms, preemptive rights may be transferred separately from the corresponding shares.
The Superintendency of Finance will authorize decreases in the outstanding capital stock decided by the holders of common shares only if: (i) Bancolombia has no liabilities; (ii) Bancolombia’s creditors consent in writing; or (iii) the outstanding capital stock remaining after the reduction represents at least twice the amount of Bancolombia’s liabilities.

The Central Bank has consistently made foreign currency available to Colombian private sector entities to meet their foreign currency obligations. Nevertheless, in the event of shortages, of foreign currency, foreign currency may not be available to private sector companies and foreign currencythe amounts needed by the Bank to service foreign currency obligations may not be purchased in the open market without substantial additional cost.costs.
The Foreign Exchange Statute, Law 9 of 1991, sets forth the outline ofoutlines the Colombian foreign exchange regime which relates to matters such as imports and exports of goods, foreign indebtedness, and guarantees in foreign currencies, amongstamong others. Additionally, Decree 20801068 of 2000,2015, as amended, sets forth an International Investments Regime which provides for rules applicable to foreign residents who invest in the Colombian securities markets and undertake other types of investments, prescribes registration with the Central Bank of certain foreign exchange transactions, and specifies procedures pursuant to which certain types of foreign investments are to be authorized and administered. Both, the Foreign Exchange Statute and the International Investments Regime are regulated by External Resolution No. 8 of 2000 and External Regulating Circular DCIN 83 of 2006, both as amended, of the boardBoard of directorsDirectors of the Central Bank.
Under Colombian law and the Bank’s by-laws, foreign investors receive the same treatment as Colombian citizens with respect to ownership and the voting rights of ADSs and preferred shares. For a detailed discussion of ownership restrictions see “ItemItem 4. Information“Information on the Company –- B. Business Overview – B.7.- B.8. Supervision and Regulation – Ownership and Management Restrictions”.
E. | TAXATION |
Colombian Taxation
For purposes of Colombian taxation, an individual is a resident of Colombia if he or she has a consecutive or non-consecutive physical presence in Colombia for more than 183 days, including days of arrival and departure from the country, during a 365 continuous days’ period, provided that, if the physical presence is exercised in two different fiscal years, the individual is deemed to be a resident on the second fiscal year. An individual is also considered as resident if he or she meets any of the following conditions:
· | The individual is exempt from income and occasional gains’ taxes in the country, |
· | The individual is a Colombian citizen and during the applicable fiscal year: |
(a) | his or her spouse or life partner, or underage children, are residents in Colombia; |
(b) | 50% or more of his or her |
(c) | 50% or more of his or her assets are managed or held or deemed to be held in Colombia; |
(d) | 50% or more of his or her assets are owned in Colombia; |
The Colombian taxation authority has requested evidence of the non-resident status, and it is not provided by the individual; or |
He or she has a fiscal residence in a tax haven jurisdiction. |
· | An individual is not considered a tax resident if meets any of the above conditions but fulfills at least one of the following: |
(a) | 50% or more of the individual’s annual income has its source in the jurisdiction |
(b) | 50% or more of its assets are located in the |
For purposes of Colombian taxation, a legal entity is a resident of Colombia if it has its headquarterprincipal office is located in Colombia. For this purpose, the headquarterprincipal office shall meanmeans the place where material commercial and management decisions are made.
Foreign companies, foreign investment funds, and individuals that are not Colombian residents are not required by law to file an income tax return in Colombia when their income has been previously subject to withholding tax, provided that such income results from payments of dividends, capital gains or labor related income.
Pursuant to the International Investment Regime (see “Item 10. Additional Information – D. Exchange Controls”), the preferred shares deposited under the Deposit Agreement constitute a Foreign Institutional Capital Investment Fund (the “Fund”)”. Under Article 18-1 of theEstatuto Tributario, Decree 624 Fiscal Statute, modified by the Law 1607 of 1989, as amended (the “Fiscal Statute”),2012, profits of the Fund, excluding dividends, are subject to withholding tax. The applicable taxation rate is 14%, provided that the Depositary is not located in a tax haven, in which case, the applicable taxation rate is 25%.
If the Depositary sells, or otherwise negotiates, the preemptive rights it would be entitled to in the event of a new issue of shares (see “ItemItem 3. “Key Information - D. Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Preferred Shares and the American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”)), the profits obtained from such disposal will be subject to withholding tax.
Dividends paid by the Bank are not subject to withholding tax, provided that they are previously taxed earnings of Bancolombia, pursuant to Article 49 of the Fiscal Statute. If the dividends are paid out of non-taxed earnings of the Bank, they will be subject to a withholdable tax at a rate of 25%.
Likewise, dividends paid to a holder of preferred shares (as distinguished from the ADSs representing such preferred shares) who is not a resident of Colombia, and who holds the preferred shares in his own name, rather than through another institutional or individual fund, in compliance with the International Investment Regime, will be subject to income tax if such dividends do not correspond to the Bank’s profits that have been previously taxed. For these purposes, the applicable rate is 25%33%.
Pursuant to article 36-1 of the Fiscal Statute, profits received by a Colombian or foreign investor derived from the disposal or negotiation of stock listed in the Colombian Stock Exchange, are not subject to withholding or any other tax in Colombia, provided that the transaction does not involve the disposal of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding shares by the same beneficial owner in one taxable year.
Other Tax Considerations
As of the date of this report, there is no income tax treaty and no inheritance or gift tax treaty in effect between Colombia and the United States. Transfers of ADSs from non-residents or residents to non-residents of Colombia by gift or inheritance are not subject to Colombian income tax. Transfers of ADSs or preferred shares by gift or inheritance from residents to residents or from non-residents to residents will be subject to Colombian income tax at the income tax rate applicable for occasional gains obtained by residents of Colombia. Transfers of preferred shares by gift or inheritance from non-residents to non-residents or from residents to non-residents are also subject to income tax in Colombia at the applicable rate. There are no Colombian stamps, issue, registration, transfer or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of preferred shares or ADSs.

United States Federal Income Taxation Considerations
In General
This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences generally applicable to ownership by a U.S. holder (as defined below) of owning preferred shares or ADSs. It applies to you only if you hold your preferred shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:
a dealer in securities, |
a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings, |
a tax-exempt organization, |
a life insurance company, |
a person liable for alternative minimum tax, |
a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of our voting stock, |
a person that holds preferred shares or ADSs as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction, |
a person that purchases or sells preferred shares or ADSs as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or |
a person whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. |
This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. There is currently no comprehensive income tax treaty between the United States and Colombia. In addition, this section is based in part upon the representations of the Depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.
If a partnership holds the preferred shares or ADSs, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the preferred shares or ADSs should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the preferred shares or ADSs.
You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of preferred shares or ADSs and you are:
a citizen or resident of the United States, |
a domestic corporation, |
an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or |
a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. |
In general, and taking into account the earlier assumptions, for United States federal income tax purposes, if you hold ADRs evidencing ADSs, you will be treated as the owner of the preferred shares represented by those ADRs. Exchanges of preferred shares for ADRs, and ADRs for preferred shares generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax.
Taxation of Dividends and Distributions
Under the United States federal income tax laws, and subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, the gross amount of any dividend we pay out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) is subject to United States federal income taxation. If you are a non-corporate U.S. holder, dividends paid to you that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to you at preferential rates applicable to long-term capital gains provided that you hold the preferred shares or ADSs for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date (or, if the dividend is attributable to a period or periods aggregating over 366 days, provided that you hold the preferred shares or ADSs for more than 90 days during the 181-day period beginning 90 days before the ex-dividend date) and meet other holding period requirements. Dividends we pay with respect to the shares or ADSs generally will be qualified dividend income provided that, in the year that you receive the dividend, the shares or ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The Bank believes that its ADSs, which are listed on the NYSE, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States; however, there can be no assurance that the Bank’s ADSs will continue to be readily tradable on an established securities market. Because the preferred shares are not listed on any United States securities market, it is unclear whether dividends we pay with respect to the preferred shares will also be qualified dividend income. If dividends we pay with respect to our preferred shares are not qualified dividend income, then the U.S. dollar amount of such dividends received by a U.S. holder (including dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. holder) will be subject to taxation at ordinary income tax rates.
You must include any Colombian tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though you do not in fact receive it. The dividend is taxable to you when you, in the case of preferred shares, or the Depositary, in the case of ADSs, receive the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. The amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the Colombian Peso payments made, determined at the spot Colombian Peso / U.S. dollar rate on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date you include the dividend payment in income to the date you convert the payment into U.S. dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The gain or loss generally will be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your basis in the preferred shares or ADSs and thereafter as capital gain. However, we do not expect to calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Accordingly, you should expect to generally treat distributions with respect to preferred shares or ADSs as dividends.
Subject to certain limitations, the Colombian tax withheld and paid over to Colombia will be creditable or deductible against your United States federal income tax liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect to dividends that are subject to preferential rates. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to you under Colombian law;law, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against your United States federal income tax liability. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex, and U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the creditability of foreign taxes in their particular circumstances.
For foreign tax credit purposes, dividends will be income from sources outside the United States and will, depending on your circumstances, be either “passive” or “general” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to you.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if you sell or otherwise dispose of your preferred shares or ADSs, you will recognize capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount that you realize and your tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in your preferred shares or ADSs. Capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
PFIC Rules
We believe that preferred shares and ADSs should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes, but this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually and thus may be subject to change. If we were to be treated as a PFIC, unless you elect to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to your preferred shares or ADSs, the following rules would apply. With certain exceptions, your preferred shares or ADSs would be treated as stock in a PFIC if we were a PFIC at any time during your holding period in your preferred shares or ADSs.
Any “excess distributions,” which would include any distributions during a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by you in respect of the preferred shares or ADSs during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, your holding period for the preferred shares or ADSs, and any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of your preferred shares or ADSs would be allocated ratably over your holding period for the preferred shares or ADSs and would generally be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year. Any gain recognized would not be treated as capital gain.
If you own preferred shares or ADSs in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, you may make a mark-to-market election. If you make this election, you will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. Instead, in general, you will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your preferred shares or ADSs at the end of the taxable year over your adjusted basis in your preferred shares or ADSs. These amounts of ordinary income will not be eligible for the favorable tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains. You will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of your preferred shares or ADSs over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). Your basis in the preferred shares or ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts.
In addition, notwithstanding any election you make with regard to the preferred shares or ADSs, dividends that you receive from us would not be eligible for the special tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead would be taxable at rates applicable to ordinary income.
Medicare Tax
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, aA U.S. holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will beis subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. holder’s “net investment income” (or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will beis between USD 125,000 and USD 250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A holder’s net investment income will generally includeincludes its dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of preferred shares or ADSs, unless such dividend income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the preferred shares or ADSs.
117
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of USD 50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-United States persons (including the preferred shares and ADSs), (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-United States issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the preferred shares or ADSs.

ITEM 11. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Introduction
The following section describes the market risks to which Bancolombia is exposed and the tools and methodology used to measure these risks as ofDecember 31, 2012.2015. Bancolombia faces market risk as a consequence of its lending, trading funding and investmentinvestments businesses. Market risk represents the potential loss due to adverse changes in market prices of financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and other risk factors, such as sovereign risk.
Bancolombia’s risk management strategy, called the Integrated Risk Management Strategy, is based on principles set by international bodies and by Colombian regulations, and is guided by Bancolombia’s corporate strategy. The main objective of the Integrated Risk Management Strategy is to identify, measure, coordinate, monitor, report and propose policies for market and liquidity risks of the Bank, which in turn serve to facilitate the efficient administration of Bancolombia’s assets and liabilities. Bancolombia’s board of directors and senior management have formalized the policies, procedures, strategies and rules of action for market risk administration in its “Market Risk Manual”. This manual defines the roles and responsibilities within each subdivision of the Bank and their interaction to ensure adequate market risk administration.
The Bank’s Market RiskRisks Management Office is responsible for: (a) identifying, measuring, monitoring, analyzing and controlling the market risk inherent in the Bank’s businesses, (b) analyzing the Bank’s exposure under stress scenarios and confirming compliance with Bancolombia’s risk management policies, (c) designinganalyzing the methodologies for valuation of the market value of certain securities and financial instruments design by the official price vendor, (d) reporting to senior management and the board of directors any violation of Bancolombia’s risk management policies, (e) reporting to the senior management on a daily basis the levels of market risk associated with the trading instruments recorded in its treasury book (the “Treasury Book”), and (f) proposing policies to the board of directors and to senior management that ensure the maintenance of predetermined risk levels. The Bank has also implemented an approval process for new products across each of its subdivisions. This process is designed to ensure that every subdivision is prepared to incorporate the new product into their procedures, that every risk is considered before the product is incorporated and that approval is obtained from the board of directors before the new product can be sold.
The Bank’s assets include both trading and non-trading instruments. Trading instruments are recorded in the Treasury Book and include fixed income securities and derivatives, foreign exchange (FX) and bond futures, and over-the-counter plain vanilla and exotic derivatives. Trading in derivatives includes forward contracts in foreign currency operations, plain vanilla options and Asian options on USD/U.S. dollar/COP currency, foreign exchange swaps and interest rate swaps. Non-trading instruments are recorded in the Bank’s banking book (the “Banking Book”), which includes primarily loans, time deposits, checking accounts and savings accounts.
The Bank uses a value at risk (“VaR”) calculation to limit its exposure to the market risk of its Treasury Book. The board of directors is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR based on its assessment of the appropriate level of risk for Bancolombia. The Capital Market Risks Committee is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR by type of investment (e.g., fixed income in public debt) and by type of risk (e.g., currency risk). These limits are supervised on a daily basis by the Market Risk Management Office.
For managing the interest rate risk from banking activities, the Bank analyzes the interest rate mismatches between its interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. In addition, the foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the Banking Book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
Trading Instruments Market Risk Measurement
The Bank currently measures the Treasury Book exposure to market risk (including over-the-counter derivatives positions) as well as the currency risk exposure of the Banking Book, which is provided to the Treasury Division, using a VaR methodology established in accordance with “Chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, issued by the SFC.Superintendency of Finance.
The VaR methodology established by “Chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular” is based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee of 2005, which focuses on the Treasury Book and excludes investments classified as “held to maturity”measured under amortized cost which are not being given as collateral and any other investment that comprises the Banking Book, such as non-trading positions. In addition, the methodology aggregates all risks by the use of correlations, through a newan allocation system based on defined zones and bands, affected by given sensitivity factors.
The total market risk for the Bank is calculated by the arithmetical aggregation of the VaR calculated for each subsidiary. The aggregated VaR is reflected in the Bank’s Capital Adequacy (Solvency) ratio, in accordance with Decree 17201771 of 2001.2012.
For purposes of VaR calculations, a risk exposure category is any market variable that is able to influence potential changes in the portfolio value. Taking into account a given risk exposure, the VaR model assesses the maximum loss not exceeded at a specified confidence level over a given period of time. The fluctuations in the portfolio’s VaR depend on volatility, modified duration and positions changes relating to the different instruments that are subject to market risk.
The relevant risk exposure categories for which VaR is computed by Bancolombia according to the “Chapter XXI, appendix 1 of the Basic Accounting Circular” are: (i) interest rate risks relating to local currency, foreign currency and UVR; (ii) currency risk; (iii) stock price risk; and (iv) fund risk.
119
Interest Rate Risk (Treasury Book)::
The interest rate risk is the probability of decrease in the market value of the position due to fluctuations in market interest rates. Bancolombia calculates the interest rate risk for positions in local currency, foreign currency and UVR separately;separately, in accordance with Chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular issued by the SFC.Superintendency of Finance. The calculation of the interest rate risk begins by determining the net position in each instrument and estimating its sensitivity by multiplying its net present value (“NPV”) by its “modified duration” and by the interest rate’s estimated fluctuation (as defined by the SFC)Superintendency of Finance). The interest rate’s fluctuations are established by the SFCSuperintendency of Finance according to historical market performance, as shown in the following table:

Once the sensitivity factor is calculated for each position, the modified duration is then used to classify each position within its corresponding band. A net sensitivity is then calculated for each band, by determining the difference between the sum of all long-positions and the sum of all short-positions. Then a net position is calculated for each zone (which consists of a series of bands) determined by the SFC.Superintendency of Finance. The final step is to make adjustments within each band, across bands and within each zone, which results in a final number that is the interest rate risk VaR by currency. Each adjustment is performed following the guidelines established by the SFC.Superintendency of Finance.
The Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk primarily arises from investments in Colombian Government’sgovernment’s treasury bonds (TES) and securities issued by the Colombian Government.government.
The interest rate risk VaR wentincreased from COP 255172 billion on December 31, 20112014 to COP 343276 billion on December 31, 2012,2015, due to an increaseraise in the position in Colombian Government´s securities.government’s treasury bonds (TES) in the liquidity portfolio. During the period from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012,year 2015, the average interest rate risk VaR was COP 296212 billion, the maximum value COP 497276 billion, and the minimum value COP 146134 billion.

Currency (Treasury and Banking Book), Equity (Treasury Book) and Fund Risk (Treasury Book)::
The VaR model uses a sensitivity factor to calculate the probability of loss due to fluctuations in the price of stocks, funds and currencies in which the Bank maintains a position. As previously indicated, the methodology used in this Annual Report to measure such risk consists of computing VaR, which is derived by multiplying the position by the maximum probable variation in the price of such positions (“Dp”). TheDp is determined by the SFC,Superintendency of Finance, as shown in the following table:
Figure 2. Sensitivity Factor for Currency Risks, Equity Risks and Fund Risks
USD | 5.50 | % | ||
Euro | 6.00 | % | ||
Other currencies | 8.00 | % | ||
Funds | 14.70 | % | ||
Stock Price | 14.70 | % |
The currency risk VaR increasedrose from COP 1356 billion as of December 31, 20112014 to COP 17.3349 billion as of December 31, 2012.This increase was2015 due to the raiseincrease in the net long position in US Dollar exposed to currency risk in the Bank.U.S. dollars, euros and Guatemalan quetzales. Between December 31, 20112014 and December 31, 2012,2015, the average currency risk VaR was COP 19.8144 billion, the maximum value COP 27.6349 billion, and the minimum value COP 13.858 billion.
The equity risk VaR increased from COP 10.951 billion as of December 31, 20112014 to COP 1355 billion as of December 31, 2012.2015 due to the surge in the brokerage firm’s trading position and the increase in the market value of the Bank’s equity positions. Between December 31, 20112014 and December 31, 2012,2015, the average equity VaR was COP 1357 billion, the maximum value COP 16.181 billion, and the minimum value COP 10.949 billion.
The fund risk, VaR which arises from investment in mutual funds, increaseddropped from COP 42.544 billion as of December 31, 20112014 to COP 45.241 billion as of December 31, 2012.2015. Between December 31, 20112014 and December 31, 2012,2015, the average fund risk VaR was COP 44.241 billion, the maximum value COP 45.747 billion, and the minimum value COP 42.636 billion.
As mentioned above the Bank uses the regulatory VaR model to measure its exposure to market risk, in accordance with “Chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, issued by the SFC.Superintendency of Finance. The interest rate’s fluctuations and the sensitivity factors for currency, equity and fund risk used in the model are established by the SFCSuperintendency of Finance according to historical market performance, and have not changed since March 2011.
Total Market Risk VaR
The total market risk VaR is calculated as the algebraic sum of the interest rate risk, the currency risk, the stock price risk and the fund risk.
The total market risk VaR had a 30% increase123% surge, going from COP 321323 billion in December 31, 20112014 to COP 418721 billion as of December 31, 2012,2015, due mainly to the rise in the currency risk VaR and interest rate risk VaR, mentioned above.
Assumptions VaR and Limitations of VaR Models:
Although VaR models represent a recognized tool for risk management, they have inherent limitations, including reliance on historical data that may not be indicative of future market conditions or trading patterns. Accordingly, VaR models should not be viewed as predictive of future results. The Bank may incur losses that could be materially in excess of the amounts indicated by the models on a particular trading day or over a period of time, and there have been instances when results have fallen outside the values generated by the Bank’s VaR models. A VaR model does not calculate the greatest possible loss. The results of these models and analysis thereof are subject to the reasonable judgment of the Bank’s risk management personnel.

Non-Trading Instruments Market Risk Measurement
The Banking Book’s relevant risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income as a result of a change in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect Bancolombia’s earnings as a result of timing differences on the re-pricingrepricing of the assets and liabilities. The Bank manages the interest rate risk arising from banking activities in non-trading instruments by analyzing the interest rate mismatches between its interest-earninginterest earning assets and its interest-bearinginterest bearing liabilities. The foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the Banking Book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
Interest Risk Exposure (Banking Book)
The Bank has performed a sensitivity analysis of market risk sensitive instruments based on hypothetical changes inestimating the interest rates. The Bank has estimated the impact that a change in interest rates would have on the net present valueinterest income of each position in the Banking Book, using within a modified durationperiod of twelve months based on hypothetical changes in the interest rates, using a repricing model and assuming positive parallel shifts of 50 and 100 basis points.points (pbs).

A rise in interest rates decreases the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Bank; therefore, it affects negatively the Bank’s market value on the active side and positively on the liabilities side.
Bancolombia’s largest assets are loans, which represent 94.7% of the total NPV of the total interest rate sensitive assets in the banking book. The market value’s change in assets with a 50 basis points parallel shift of the yield curve has increased from COP 330 billion in December 2011 to COP 354 billion in December 2012 due to an increase in Commercial and Mortgage Loans.
On the liabilities side, Bancolombia’s largest interest rate sensitive liabilities are demand deposits and time deposits which represent 47.4% and 30.4%, respectively, of the total NPV of the total interest rate sensitive liabilities in the banking book. The market value’s change in liabilities with a 50 basis points parallel shift of the yield curve increased from COP 384 billion in December 2011 to COP 523 billion in December 2012, reflecting the increase in demand and time deposits, and in the long-term debt during 2012.

· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20122015 based on criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission (2013 Framework version).

F. | CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT |
Not applicable.On March 16, 2016, the Bank’s shareholders, in their general meeting, dismissed Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PWC) as the registered public accounting firm for the Bank and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the corporate governance code which provides a policy to change such firm at least once every ten years.
On the same date, the Bank’s shareholders appointed Deloitte as the new registered public accounting firm beginning on the fiscal year ended in December 31, 2016. This change was approved by the Bank’s audit committee in January 2016. This appointment is subject to confirmation by the SFC.
PWC’s report on the Consolidated Financial Statements, as of, and for the years ended in December 31, 2015 and 2014, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there have been no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure or reportable events (as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F).
Further in the two years prior to December 31, 2015 or in any subsequent interim period, Bancolombia has not consulted with Deloitte regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of Bancolombia, and either a report was provided to Bancolombia or oral advice was provided that Deloitte concluded was an important factor considered by Bancolombia in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as that term is used in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F or a reportable event as described in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.
G. | CORPORATE GOVERNANCE |
Bancolombia, as a listed company that qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the NYSE listing standards in accordance with the NYSE corporate governance rules, is permitted to follow home-country practice in some circumstances in lieu of the provisions of the corporate governance rules contained in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that are applicable to U.S. companies. The Bank follows corporate governance practices applicable to Colombian companies and those described in the Bank’s Corporate Governance Code, which in turn follows Colombian corporate governance rules. An English translation of the Corporate Governance Code is available at Bancolombia’s website at www.grupobancolombia.com.co. The Spanish prevails for all legal purposes.
In Colombia, a series of laws and regulations set forth corporate governance requirements. External Circular 056029 of 2007,2014, issued by the SFC, contains the corporate governance standards to be followed by companies issuing securities that may be purchased by Colombian pension funds, and determines that entities under supervision of the SFC, when making investment decisions, must take into account the recommendations established by the “Country Code” (Código País) and the corporate governance standards followed by the entities who are beneficiaries of the investment. Additionally, External Circular 055 of 2007 establishes that entities under the supervision of the SFC must adopt mechanisms for the periodic disclosure of their corporate governance standards.
Additionally, Law 964 of 2005 established mandatory corporate governance requirements for all issuers whose securities are publicly traded in the Colombian market, and Decree 2555 of 2010 regulates the information disclosure requirements for the Colombian securities market SIMEV (Sistema(Sistema Integral de Información del Mercado de Valores)Valores). Bancolombia’s corporate governance standards comply with these legal requirements and followBancolombia has implemented additional corporate governance measures pursuant to regional recommendations including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) White Paper on Corporate Governance for Latin America and the Andean Development Corporation’s (CAF) Corporate Governance Code.
The following is a summary of the significant differences between the corporate governance practices followed by Bancolombia and those applicable to domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards:
· | Independence of Directors. Under NYSE corporate governance rules, a majority of a U.S. company’s board of directors must be composed of independent directors. Regarding Colombian legislation, Law 964 of 2005 requires that at least 25% of the members of the Bank’s board of directors are independent directors, and Decree 3923 of 2006 regulates their election. |
· | Non-Executive Director Meetings. Pursuant to the NYSE listing standards, non-executive directors of U.S. listed companies must meet on a regular basis without management present. There is no prohibition under Colombian regulations for officers to be members of the board of directors; however, it is customary for Colombian companies to maintain separation between the directors and management. Bancolombia’s board of directors does not include any management members; however, the CEO attends the monthly meetings of the Bank’s board of directors, |
· | Committees of the Board of Directors. Under NYSE listing standards, all U.S. companies listed on the NYSE must have an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating/corporate governance committee and all members of such committees must be independent.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Bancolombia S. A.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsstatement of financial position and the related consolidated statements of operations, ofincome, and other comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bancolombia S. A. and its subsidiaries (the "Bank"“Bank”) atas of December 31, 20122015 and 2011,2014 and January 1, 2014, and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for each of the threetwo years in the period ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 20102015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia andInternational Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the special regulations of the Colombian Superintendency of Finance, collectively “Colombian GAAP” .International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Bank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,2015, based on criteria established inInternal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)(“COSO”). The Bank's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” appearing under Item 15. 15 of the Bancolombia S. A. Form 20-F dated April 22, 2016.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia.. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Colombian GAAP varies in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Bancolombia S. A.
April 22, 2016
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As described in “Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, management has excluded Grupo Agromercantil Holding S. A. and subsidiaries from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of 2015 because it was acquired by the Bank in a purchase business combination during 2015. We have also excluded Grupo Agromercantil Holding S. A. and subsidiaries from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Grupo Agromercantil Holding S. A. and subsidiaries is a 60%-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 6.22% and 0%, respectively of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The Bank holds the majority voting rights in Prosicol E.U, which was not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements due to the fact that this company is in a non-productive stage.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
For the preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures, the Bank follows generally accepted accounting principles in Colombia and the special regulations of the SFC, collectively “Colombian Banking GAAP”.
The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, were adjustedafter adjusting in order to adopt uniform accounting practices as required in connection with the accounts of investments, derivatives, allowances for loan and financial leases losses, goodwill, foreclosed assets and financial leases.
Intercompany operations and balances between Bancolombia Group companies are eliminated upon consolidation.
(b) Translation of Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances
Translation of financial statements in foreign currency
The balance sheet accounts are converted to Colombian pesos using the exchange rate applicable at the end of the year (except equity accounts which are translated at the historical exchange rate). The exchange rate at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was COP 1,768.23 and COP 1,942.70 per USD 1, respectively. For income accounts the average exchange rate was used. The average exchange rate for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were COP 1,798.23 and COP 1,848.17 per USD 1, respectively. Exchange differences originated in balance sheet accounts are recorded as “Cumulative Translation Adjustments” in the consolidated statements of Stockholders’ Equity and the exchange differences originated in the consolidated statements of operations accounts are recorded as “Foreign exchange gain (loss)” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Transactions in foreign currencyaccounting policies.
Transactions and balances in foreign currencies are converted by the Bank and its Subsidiariessubsidiaries to Colombian pesos using the exchange rates applicable on the corresponding dates when the transactions were originated, as established by the SFC. Superintendency of Finance.
Intercompany operations and balances between Bancolombia Group companies are eliminated upon consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in controlled entities are presented in equity separately from the Parent Company stockholders equity. When the Bank loses control over a subsidiary, any residual interest to withhold is measured at fair value; gains or losses arising from this measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
2. | Investments in associates and joint ventures |
An associate is an entity over which the Bank has significant influence, without total or joint control.
A joint venture is an entity that the Bank controls jointly with other participants, where both maintain a contractual agreement that establishes joint control over the relevant activities of the entity.
At the acquisition date, the excess of the acquisition cost of the associate or joint venture shares exceeding the Bank´s share of the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.
The income of the associate or joint venture is incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Under this method the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted to changes in the shares of the Bank in the joint venture or associate's net assets after the date of acquisition, less any loss due to impairment of the investment value. The losses of the associate or joint venture that exceed the amount of the Bank's investment are not recognized.
When the equity method is applicable, adjustments are considered in order to adopt uniform accounting practices and policies of the associate or joint venture with the Bank. The portion that corresponds to the Bank in other comprehensive income items obtained by measuring the assets and liabilities at fair value through OCI is recognized, as well as gains and losses recognized by the associate or joint venture, in accordance with the Bank's participation in the associate or joint venture. The equity method is applied from the acquisition date until the significant influence or joint control over the entity is lost.
The unrealized gain or loss of an associate or joint venture is presented in the comprehensive statement of income net of tax. Changes in the investment´s participation recognized directly in equity and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture are considered in the consolidated statement of equity and consolidated statement of other consolidated comprehensive income.
The dividends received in cash from the associate or joint venture reduce the investment carrying value.
The Bank periodically analyzes the existence of impairment indicators and the possibility of recognizing losses by impairment of the associate or joint venture. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss and are calculated as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate or joint venture, using the higher value between its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and their carrying value.
When the significant influence on the associate or the joint venture is lost, the Bank measures and recognizes any residual investment that remained at its fairvalue. The difference between the associate or joint venture carrying value (taking into account the relevant items of other comprehensive income) and the fair value of the retained residual investment; is recognized in profit or loss.
3. | Funds administration |
The Bank manages assets held in private common funds and other means of investment. Assets managed by the Bank’s subsidiaries and owned by third parties are not included in the consolidated financial statements unless control exists under IFRS 10.
To determine whether the Bank controls the funds, all of the following conditions are taken into account:
· | Power over the investee. |
· | Exposure, or rights, to variables returns from the Bank’s involvement with the investee, and |
· | The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. |

D. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Bank's management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual outcome can differ from these estimates. These estimates refer to:
– | Valuation of goodwill: |
The Bank tests goodwill recognized upon business combinations for impairment at least annually. The impairment test for goodwill involves estimates and significant judgments, including the identification of cash generating units and the allocation of goodwill based on the expectations of which the Bank will benefit from the acquisition. The valuation models used to determine the fair value of the acquired companies are sensitive to changes in the assumptions. Adverse changes in any of the factors underlying these assumptions could lead the Bank to record a goodwill impairment charge. Management believes that the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable in the existing market environment and commensurate with the risk profile of the assets valued. See Note 8, for further information related to carrying amount, valuation methodologies, key assumptions and the allocation of goodwill.
– | Deferred income taxes: |
Deferred tax assets (‘DTA’) are recorded for all deductible temporary differences or carry forwards when it is probable that the Bank can utilize the deductible temporary difference against sufficient taxable income in future periods. In determining the DTA, the Bank performs a review of future taxable income (required for reversing temporary differences and carry forwards) and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. Due to the continuing weak economic conditions, the determination of the DTA, involves difficult judgments to estimate future taxable income.
With regard to state taxes, Bancolombia is subject to Colombian tax legislation. In the case of its companies based in Guatemala, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Panama (only applicable to Banistmo and its subsidiaries) and Peru, it must also calculate the corresponding taxes according to Guatemalan, Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, Panamanian and Peruvian tax legislations.
The application of tax legislation is subject to diverse interpretations on the part of both taxpayers and the relevant tax authorities
The deferred tax asset is considered as a critical accounting policy, due to tax determinations involving estimates of profits and future taxable incomes that will be settled in future years; such estimates can be affected by changes in economic conditions. See Note 11 for further information related to the nature of the deferred tax assets recognized by the Bank and their carrying amount.
– | Provisions and contingent liabilities: |
The Bank is subject to contingent liabilities, including judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings and tax and other claims arising from the conduct of the Bank’s business activities. These contingencies are evaluated based on management’s best estimates and reserves are established for legal and other claims by assessing the likelihood of the loss actually occurring as probable or remote. Provisions are recorded when all the information available indicates that it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation before the statement of financial position date and the amounts may be reasonably estimated. The Bank engages internal and external experts in assessing probability and in estimating any amounts involved.
Throughout the life of a contingency, the Bank may learn of additional information that can affect assessments regarding probability or the estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments can lead to changes in recorded reserves.
The Bank considers the estimates used to determine the reserves for contingent liabilities are critical estimates because the probability of their occurrence and the amounts that the Bank may be required to pay are based on the Bank’s judgment and its advisers, which will not necessarily coincide with the future outcome of the proceedings. For further information regarding legal proceedings and contingencies and its carrying amounts. See Note 20.
– | Impairment for credit risk: |
Determining the allowance for loan losses requires a significant amount of management judgment and estimates in, among others, identifying impaired loans, determining customers’ ability to pay and estimating the fair value of underlying collateral or the expected future cash flows to be received. The Bank assess if an asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and if impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. The estimates are considered as critical accounting judgement because: (i) they are highly susceptible to change from period to period as the assumptions about future default rates and valuation of potential losses relating to impaired loans and advances are based on recent performance experience, and (ii) any significant difference between the Bank’s estimated losses (as reflected in the provisions) and actual losses would require the Bank to record provisions which, if significantly different, could have a material impact on its future financial condition and results of operations. The Bank’s assumptions about estimated losses are based on past performance, past customer behavior, the credit quality of recent underwritten business and general economic conditions, which are not necessarily an indication of future losses. For further information regarding risk management (see section Risk Management).
– | Fair value of financial assets and liabilities: |
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Bank’s statement of financial position include mainly debt and equity securities classified at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income, respectively and derivatives contracts.
IFRS 13 specifies different levels of inputs that may be used to measure the fair value of financial instruments classified as levels 1, 2 and 3. In accordance with IFRS 13 the financial instruments are classified as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
For further details, as carrying amount and sensitivity disclosures, please see Note 29 ‘Fair value of assets and liabilities’.
E. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Applicable in Future Periods
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments:This Standard was developed in three phases and is mandatorily effective for the periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted.
The first stage of this standard presents the requirements for the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets. In November 2009, the IASB issued the amendments related to classification and measurement of financial assets, in October 2010 some requirements regarding to classification and measurement of financial liabilities were issued, in July 2014, some additional guidance was provided by the IASB related to classification and measurement of financial assets establishing 3 categories for the measurement of financial assets: Amortized cost, fair value through comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
The second and third stages present: a) the impairment model based on “expected loss” and -issued in July 2014-; and b) hedge accounting –issued in November 2013-, which requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument and that the hedging ratio be the same ratio that the entity uses for risk management.
The Bank opted for the early adoption of the version of the first phase of this standard (issued in October 2013), which is related to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments.
The Bank has not adopted the hedging accounting nor the expected losses impairment model included in IFRS 9 – November 2013, as a consequence, the measurement of impairment losses and hedge effectiveness are recorded in accordance with IAS 391.
IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers: On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, which clarifies how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Likewise entities are required to provide more useful information related to significant judgments, nature and costs to obtain or fulfil a contract with a customer.
The standard must be applied in an entity’s IFRS financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Earlier application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact the changes adoption of IFRS 15 would have on the Bank’s financial statement and disclosures. Management is currently evaluating the impact the changes from adopting IFRS 9 would have on the Bank’s financial statement and disclosures.
IFRS 16, Leases: In January, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 to replace IAS 17. Accounting for finance leases will remain substantially the same. Operating leases will be brought on balance sheet through the recognition of assets representing the contractual rights of use and liabilities will be recognised for the contractual payments. Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:
(a) | Assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and |
(b) | Depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. The effective date is January 1, 2019. |
Management is currently evaluating the impact the changes from adopting IFRS 16 would have on the Bank’s financial statement and disclosures.
Amendment to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: The amendments clarify the accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation where the activities of the operation constitute a business.

F. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies that the Bank uses in preparing its consolidated financial statements are detailed below:
1. | Functional and presentation currency |
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Bank’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Colombian pesos, which is the functional currency for the Parent Company (the main subsidiary), and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
2. | Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at December 31, 2012the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and December 31, 2011 are those stated above.
Exchange rate differences arisinglosses resulting from adjustmentsthe settlement of such transactions and remeasurementsfrom the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are recordedgenerally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.net investment in a foreign operation.
(c) ConvenienceNon-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation to U.S. Dollarsdifferences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
Foreign subsidiaries
The Bank maintains its accounting recordsresults and prepares its financial statements in Colombian pesos. The U.S. Dollar amounts presented inposition of foreign operations (none of which has the financial statements and accompanying notescurrency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have been converteda functional currency different from peso figures solely for the convenienceBank´s presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
· | assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position |
· | income and expenses for each statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates, and |
· | all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income |
As part of the readerconsolidation process, exchange differences arising from debt securities in issue and other financial instruments designated as hedges of foreign operations, are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any debt securities in issue forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing exchange rate.
The table below sets forth the exchange rate used by the Bank and its subsidiaries to convert U.S. dollar into Colombian pesos statement of COP 1,768.23 per USD 1,financial position accounts and transactions in foreign currency:

Average rate for the period ended at | 2,746.55 | 2,000.68 | - |
3. | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Bank considers cash and cash equivalents to include cash and balances at central bank, interbank deposits and reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured lending that have original maturities of up to 90 days or less, as shown in Note 5.
4. | Security deposits. |
Security deposits are assets pledged as collateral that correspond to cash guarantees made by the Bank to other financial institutions. The carrying amount is increased when a margin call is issued or when it is necessary to increase the trading quota; conversely, it is decreased when the aim is to lower that quota. The carrying amount is recognized for the amount paid by the counterpart and is not subject to interest.
5. | Business combinations and goodwill |
Business combinations are those operations when an acquirer obtains control of a business (e.g. an acquisition or merger).
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as follows: a) Identifiable acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in the acquisition are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition; b) Acquisition costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as expenses in the periods in which correspondsthe costs are incurred and the services are received; c) and goodwill is recognized as an asset in the consolidated financial statement.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the representative market rate calculated on December 31, 2012 the last business dayformer owners of the year (the “Representative Market Rate”). The Representative Market Rate is computedacquiree and certifiedthe equity interests issued by the SFC,Bank.
Goodwill is measured as the Colombian banking regulator,excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the value of any non-controlled interest and, when applicable, the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree, over the net value of the acquired assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The profits or losses resulting from the measurement of the previously held interest are recognized in the statement of income for the period.
For each business combination, at the date of acquisition, the Bank measures the non-controlled interest by the proportional share of the identifiable assets acquired, as well as liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed by the acquired company, or by their fair value.
Any contingent consideration in a business combination is classified as a liability or as equity and is recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition and remeasured quarterly.
The goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at the date of acquisition, to the Bank's cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from the combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities assumed by the acquired company are assigned to these units.
For business combinations in stages, any previous equity of the acquiring party is adjusted at its fair value at the date of acquisition and any resulting gain (or loss) is reported in the consolidated statement of income. Amounts previously recognized in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income that must be recycle through profit or loss in relation with such investments are reclassified to the consolidated income account, as if such investment had been sold. When the associate has other comprehensive income, which is not reclassified to profit or loss, the amounts are not reclassified when the investment is sold.
When the Bank enters into a contract to acquire shares in a subsidiary held by non-controlling interest, that entitles the non-controlling interest to sell its interest in the subsidiary to the Bank, the Bank analyzes whether the ownership risks and rewards remain with the non-controlling interest or have transferred to the Bank. The non-controlling interest is recognized to the extent the risks and rewards of ownership of those shares remain with them. Irrespective of whether the non-controlling interest is recognized, a financial liability is recorded for the present value of the redemption amount. Subsequent changes to the liability are recognized in profit or loss. The Bank will reclassify the liability to equity if a put expires unexercised.
6. | Financial instruments |
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
6.1 Recognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position when the Bank becomes a party of the contractual provisions of the instrument. This includes conventional purchases and sales, which are those purchases and sales of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within the established general period. The Bank uses trade date accounting for regular way contracts when recording financial asset transactions.
6.2 Offsetting of financial instruments
The Bank reports financial assets and financial liabilities on a dailynet basis on the statement of financial position if and representsonly if (i) there is a legally enforceable right to set off the weighted averagerecognized amounts and there is intention to settle on a net basis, or (ii) to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Bank enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements or similar agreements with substantially all of the buy/sell foreign exchange rates negotiatedBank’s derivative counterparties. Where legally enforceable, and depending on the previous dayBank’s intention, these master netting agreements give the Bank, in the event of default by certainthe counterparty, the right to liquidate securities and cash equivalents held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty.
6.3 Derecognition of financial institutions authorizedassets and liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to deal in foreign exchange transactions (including Bancolombia S.A.). This translation may not be construed to represent thatreceive cash flows from the Colombian peso amounts representsfinancial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. A financial liability is removed from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired.
6.4 Fair value
The fair value of all financial assets and liabilities is determined at the statement of financial position date, for recognition or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.
The fair value is determined:
− | Based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the Bank can access at the measurement date (level 1). |
− | Based on valuation models commonly used by the market participants whose inputs are other than quoted prices included with in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly (level 2). |
− | Based on internal valuation techniques of cash flow discounts and other valuation models, using unobservable inputs estimated by the Bank for the assets or liabilities, in the absence of observable inputs (level 3). |
The accounting judgments used in determining fair value related to matters such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. The changes in estimates related to these factors could be converted into, U.S. Dollars at that or any other rate. Foraffect the recognized fair value of the financial instruments.
In Note 29 Fair Value Measurement an analysis is provided of the fair values of financial instruments and non-financial assets and liabilities, including further details about the consolidated foreign currency assets and liabilities converted into U.S. Dollars, see Note 3 “Transactions in Foreign Currency”.measurement of fair value.
(d) Cash6.5 Financial assets
On initial recognition, the Bank measures financial assets at fair value plus, in the case of a financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. The financial assets are then classified for subsequent measurement at fair value or amortized cost, respectively, depending on the business model used by the Bank to manage them and Cash Equivalentsthe characteristics of contractual cash flows of the instrument. Additionally, for certain equity instruments, according to IFRS 9, the Bank made the irrevocable election to present their subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
At subsequent measurement, the Bank measures and classifies its financial assets at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate, if the asset is maintained within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect the contractual cash flows and if the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding”. Otherwise, the financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value.
The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared usingBank classified the indirect method. Undercompulsory investment securities portfolio (Títulos de Reducción de Deuda – TRDs and TDAs securities issued by the Colombian Banking GAAP theregovernment), money market operations, loan portfolio and financial leasing portfolio as financial instruments at amortized cost. Other financial assets, such as debt securities other than TRDs and TDAs, derivatives, and investments in equity instruments are no special requirements or forms governing of the Bank’s statement of cash flows. Accordingly,measured at fair value through profit and loss, except for investments in equity instruments for which the Bank has preparedmade the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with the presentation in the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 7, “Statement of Cash Flows”.irrevocable election since initial recognition to measure them subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due from banks, funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell , which are highly liquid investments with a maturity that contractually do not exceed one month.6.5.1 Money market operations
(e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the main estimations affecting the financial statements include, but are not limited to the accounting treatment for pension plan provisions, evaluation of loan portfolio risk and determination of allowances for loan and finance lease, income taxes and determination of valuation allowances for debt and equity securities. Actual losses could differ from those estimated.
(f) Real Value Unit Rate (UVR)Overnight funds
The operationsThese are funds that the Bank carries out with regard to mortgage loans linked to the “Unidad de Valor Real” (the “Real Value Unit” or “UVR”) are adjusted on a daily basis according to the daily value of the UVR, as published by the Central Bank. The values assigned by the Central Bank to the UVR, in Colombian pesos, on December 31, 2012 and 2011, were COP 204.2017 and COP 198.4467, respectively. The UVR rate corresponds to the monthly variance of theIndice de Precios al Consumidor (the “IPC” or “Colombian Consumer Index Price”) during the calendar month immediately prior to the month for which the UVR rate is being calculated. In light of the above, the annualized UVR rate increased at December 31, 2012 and 2011 by 0.09% and 1.99%, respectively.
(g) Money Market Operations.
Include funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell and funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repos).
Interbank Funds
Interbank funds include loans madelends to other financial institutions and borrowingsor borrows from the Central Bank orand other financial institutionsinstitutions. The transactions in an asset position with maturities between 1maturity of up to 30 days.ninety days are measured at fair value and classified as cash equivalents. The operations in an asset position with maturity greater than ninety days and all the operations in a liability position are measured at amortized cost and presented as interbank assets or interbank liabilities.
Reverse repurchase agreements and other similar secured transactions
Repos
- | Asset Position |
Asset position refers to transactions accounted for as collateralized lending in which the Bank or its subsidiaries purchasepurchases securities with an agreement to resell them to the seller at a stated price plus interest at a specified date. The amount recorded in this account relates to the money lent and the investment securities purchased under those agreements are recordednot recognized in memorandum accounts.the statement of financial position when the counterparty substantially retains all of the risks and rewards of the ownership. Accrued interest is recorded in accounts receivable, and recognized as operating income.income during the life of the agreement using the effective interest rate method.
- | Liability Position |
Liability position refers to transactions accounted for as collateralized borrowing in which the Bank or its subsidiaries sell securities with an agreement to repurchase them from the buyer at a stated price plus interest at a specified date, not exceeding one year.
The amount is recordedsecurities sold under those agreements are not derecognized from the statement of financial position when the Bank substantially retains all of the risks and rewards of the securities. The values received are initially recognized, at their fair value, as a liability related to the money borrowed and the investment security sold is reclassified inside the investment securities account into “Investment Securities under Repurchase Agreement”.financial liability. Accrued interest is recorded in accounts payable, and recognized as operating expense.an interest expense during the useful life of the agreement using the effective interest rate method.
Repo transactions do not qualify as true purchase/sales6.6 Loans and therefore these investments are included on the Bank’s balance sheet.
(h) Investment Securities
1. Classification
Investment securities are classified as “trading”, “heldadvances to maturity”,customers and “available for sale”.
Trading Securities
Trading investments are those acquired mainly for the purpose of obtaining gains on short-term price fluctuations.
Held to Maturity Securities
Investments “held to maturity” are debt securities acquired for the purpose of holding until maturity. Reclassification to a different category is permitted only under specific situations. These investments are only sold for liquidity operations, in exceptional cases, as determined by the SFC.
Available for Sale Securitiesother receivables
These are investments which do not fall into eitherfinancial assets that consist primarily of the above classifications, for which the investor has the stated intentioncorporate loans, personal loans (including mainly consumer finance and legal, contractual, financialoverdrafts) and operational capacityresidential mortgage loans. The Bank established that loans, advances to customers and other receivables are held within a business model whose objective is to hold them in order to collect contractual cash flows and the investments for at least one year fromcontractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the date of classification.
Investments intended to be held for less than one year are classified as trading securities. This classification also covers equity investments with low market liquidity or those with no quoted share price.
2. Investment Valuation
Initial recognition of investment
All investment securitiesprincipal amount outstanding. They are initially recorded at their purchase cost.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent measurement is recorded as follows:
2.1. Debt Securities Denominated in Local Currency
Trading securities are valued dailymeasured at fair value, plus transaction costs and the result is recorded daily. The Bank determines the fair value of trading and available for sale debt securities by using the prices, reference rates and margins provided by the Colombia Stock Exchange. These prices are calculated and published daily.
Held to maturity investments are valued at amortized cost based on their internal rate of return calculated on the purchase date.
2.2 Securities Denominated in Foreign Currency or in UVR
The fair value of securities denominated in a foreign currency or UVR is initially determined in such currency or in UVR by using reference rates and margins provided by Bloomberg and other price providers in accordance with international market ordinary transactions.
Securities denominated in a foreign currency other than U.S. dollars are first converted by the Bank and its Subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using the Exchange Rate authorized by the SFC. The U.S. Dollar amount computed is then converted into Colombian pesos using the exchange rates applicable on the same dates, as established by the SFC.
Valuation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as net interest income, and foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from investment in foreign currency securities are recorded as net foreign exchange gain or loss.
2.3 Equity Securities
External Circular 100 of 1995 issued by the SFC provides that investments should be valued on a daily basis; however, in the case of investments in equity shares with little or low market liquidity, ororigination fees that are not listed ondirectly attributable to the stock exchange, the valuation is based on the financial statements of the issuer. The Bank records the valuation of these investments on a monthly basis:
In connection with investments held by the Bank’s foreign subsidiaries, the issuer’s stockholders equity is adjusted to follow the accounting practices required, before applying the valuation method described in b. above.
Shares held in investment funds and structured securitizations through fundsacquisition or self-standing trustsissue. They are valued using the unit value calculated by the fund manager on the day immediately preceding the date on which such investments are valued. In the case of the Private Capital Fund (Fondo Inmobiliario Colombia) the unit value is calculated based on the fund financial statements in which real estate assets are adjusted by inflation and then recorded at their fair value, and the valuation adjustment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as interest income.
As of December 31, 2012, the Bank has taken the appropriate measures to adopt in 2013 the new requirements introduced by the External Circulars 039 and 050 of 2012 issued by the Colombian SFC, related to investment valuation techniques using a price providers approach. Consequently, the methodologies used by the authorized price providers have been tested in order to select the appropriate price provider.
3. Accounting recognition
3.1. Trading Investments
Changes in the fair value of the investments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.
3.2. Investments Held to Maturity
Investments held to maturity are accounted forsubsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and interest accruals are recorded as interest income on investment securities.
3.3. Investments Available for Sale
3.3.1. Debt Securities
Interest accruals are recorded as interest income on investment securities in the consolidated statements of operations.
Changes in the fair value of the investment are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the account denominated “surplus from gross unrealized gain or (loss) on available for sale investments”.
3.3.2 Equity Investments
Changes in the fair value of the investments are recorded in accordance with the trading characteristics of the investment as follows:
4. Impairment Test on Investment Securities
Debt securities, with the exception of debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Republic of Colombia or the Colombian Guarantee Fund for Financial Institutions (Fondo de Garantias de Instituciones Financieras “Fogafin”), or issued by the Central Bank, and equity securities with low liquidity or not listed on stock exchanges, must be tested for impairment on a quarterly basis as follows:
4.1. Securities with External Ratings
Securities that are rated by a rating firm approved by the SFC may not be recorded for an amount that exceeds the following percentages of their nominal value, net of amortization for debt securities, or acquisition cost for equity securities, as of the valuation date:
|
| |||||
However, for debt securities classified as held to maturity, with known fair value, impairment is recorded for the difference between its carrying value and such fair value.
4.2. Securities withoutless any External Credit Rating
These securities are rated according to the methodology defined by the Bank. The securities are rated “A” except when there is a risk associated with them, in which case they are rated from rating B to E. The maximum value, as defined by the SFC, at which these investments are recorded, according to their rating is:
In assessing investment securities for impairment, the Bank reviews the ratings issued by ratings agencies, where applicable, verifies its internal rating model and calculates the maximum registered amount in accordance with those credit ratings or model. If the resulting amount is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to the face value, net of any amortization of principal, multiplied by the applicable percentage as described above. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.
5. Reclassification of Investment Securitiesimpairment.
The Bank reclassifies investments from available for saleeffective interest method is a method used to trading when its main purpose iscalculate the amortized cost of an asset and to obtain gains on short-term price fluctuations.
An investment reclassified from available for sale to trading is subject to accounting, valuation rules and regulations applicable toassign the trading category. As a result, unrealized gain or (loss) must be accounted for as either income or expense oncost in interest during the date onrelevant period. The effective interest rate is the discount rate at which the investment is reclassified.
(i) Loans and Financial Leases
The Bank grants loans to customers inpresent value of future estimated cash payments or those received through the following segments: residential mortgage, consumer, commercial, financial leases and small business loans. A substantial portionexpected life of the Bank’s loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout Colombia.
Loansfinancial instrument, or, when appropriate, in a shorter time frame, are recorded at the principal outstanding less allowance for impairment, except in cases of purchases of portfolios, which are recorded at the acquisition cost on day one, and then the principal outstanding is affected by the allowance for impairment and loans granted in foreign currency which are recorded at the exchange rate applicable on the corresponding date of origination. Accrued interest is recorded in account receivables and unearned income is recorded as a liability.
Financial leasing operations are initially recorded as loans for an amount equal to the booknet carrying value ofat the asset to be leased tobeginning. To calculate the customer and subsequently, the loan is amortized when the rental payments are due in the amount of the payment corresponding to principal.
Suspension of Interest Accruals
The SFC requires thateffective interest income, lease payments and other items of income cease to be accrued in the consolidated statements of operations after a loan is in arrears for more than two months for mortgage and consumer loans, three months for commercial loans and one month for small business loans. However,rate, the Bank adopted a policy, in which commercial, consumer and small business loans that are past-due more than 30 days and mortgages that are past-due more than 60 days will stop accruing interest inestimates cash flows considering all the consolidated statements of operations. Instead, interest and principal payments are reflected in memorandum accounts until such time that the customer proceeds to pay amounts due or overdue. After that, the interest collected is recorded as income in the consolidated statements of operations on a cash basis.
Credit Risk Evaluation
The Bank analyzes on an ongoing basis the credit risk to which its loan portfolio is exposed, considering thecontractual terms of the corresponding obligationsfinancial instrument ,including transaction costs and premiums granted minus commissions and discounts, but without taking into account future credit losses.
6.7 Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost
At the end of every period, the Bank assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets measured at amortized cost are impaired; impairment is recognized as well asa result of one or more events that occurred, after the levelinitial recognition of risk associated with the borrower. This risk evaluationfinancial asset, where the loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Indicators that the financial asset is based on information relating toimpaired include historical performance data, particular characteristics of the borrower, fair value of collateral, the borrower’s debt service withto other entities, macroeconomic factors and financial information, etc. For consumer, mortgage and small business loans the analysis is performed only on the basisa significant financial difficulty of the past-due daysborrower, whether the borrower will likely to declare bankruptcy or financial restructuring, or any breach of the loans.
For loan portfolios, the following minimum credit risk ratings are assigned according to the financial situation of the debtor and/contract, such as a default or the past-due days of the obligation. Additionally, all significant counterparty relationships as well as loans under special supervision are revieweddelinquency in detail every six months:interest or principal payments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Commercial and consumer loans
Allowances for loan losses are established based on the parameters issued by the SFC.
The Bank has adopted the Reference Modelsindividually evaluates for Commercial and Consumer Loans, issued by the SFC. Based onimpairment financial assets which exceed COP 2,000 million (USD 1 million for foreign subisidiaries). When these models, the individual provision for loan portfolios is calculatedsignificant financial assets are identified as a sum of the following individual components:
(a) The individual current credit risk (pro-cyclic) corresponding to the portion of the individual provision on the loan portfolio that reflects the current credit risk for each debtor.
(b) The individual future credit risk (counter-cyclic) corresponding to the portion of the individual provision on the loan portfolio, reflecting future possible changes in the debtor’s credit risk. This portion is included to reduce the impact on the consolidated statements of operations when such a situation occurs. The internal reference models must take into account and calculate this component based on all available information reflecting such changes.
Under no circumstance may the individual future credit risk component for each obligation be less than zero and neither may it exceed the expected loss calculated using matrix B included below. Also, the sum of both components may not exceed the total value of the exposure of the loan.
According to the reference models, the allowance for loan losses is calculated as follows:
Expected Loss = [Probability of default] x [Exposure at default] x [Loss-given default]
Probability of Default (PD)
Probability of Default is defined as the probability of the debtor within a specific loan portfolio or segment and rating, defaulting on its obligations within the next twelve (12) months. For the Bank and its subsidiaries this probability of default is established by the SFC.
Banco Agricola S.A. uses an internal model to calculate the Probability of Default duly authorized by the SFC.
Probability of Default is calculated based on the following matrices authorized by the SFC according to the type of portfolio:

In accordance with the instructions issued by the SFC and due to the cumulative phase that took place during the years 2012 and 2011, the Bank used matrix B in order to calculate its individual current credit risk (pro-cyclic).
Exposure at Default
Exposure at default is defined as the current loan balance of the principal plus interest receivable accounts and other receivables of the customer.
Loss Given Default (LGD)
Loss Given Default is the economic loss incurred by the Bank when events of default occur. The LGD for debtors classified in the default rating depends on the type of collateral and gradually increases the allowance according toimpaired, the amount of days lapsing after being classified in such rating. For this purpose 100%the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, including the fair value of any collateral, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. When it is determined that the significant financial asset will be substantially recovered solely from the value of collaterals or guarantees, the Group estimates the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount of the collateral value is considered to coverloan and the principal amount. Loss Given Default is calculated based on the following matrices authorized by the SFC according to the type of loan portfolio and adjusted by the Bank in order to recognize in an earliest term the effects of the loans’ overdue:

FNG =Fondo Nacional de Garantías. TheFondo Nacional de Garantías, guarantees credit operations up to 70% to financial intermediaries, supporting activities of all economic sectors (except agriculture). The fund guarantees credits destined for working capital, acquisition of fixed assets and in general, financial resources needed by medium and small corporations, only if these resources are invested in productive activities.
FAG =Fondo Agropecuario de Garantías. TheFondo Agropecuario de Garantías guarantees credit operations discounted before FINAGRO, which have been granted in order to finance projects in the agriculture sector.
For sovereign collateral, letters of credits and deposits the LGD is zero (0).
In June 2012, the SFC issued the External Circular 026 of 2012, with the purpose of setting the necessary instructions to be followed by financial institutions, in order to establish a new additional allowance for covering the consumer loan’s individual inherent risk, due to the significant increase in the consumer loan portfolio of the Colombian financial institutions. These new requirements came into place in June 2012. This additional allowance is calculated and recorded prospectively only when the rate of growth of past-due loans in the consumer loan portfolio reflects an increased trend according to certain credit risk measures provided by the External Circular. The new additional allowance is equivalent to 0.5% of the individual amount of each loan multiplied by the respective LGD. In July 2012, the Bank has adopted requirements introduced by the External Circular 026 of 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank has accounted for this new allowance the amount of COP 36,894 in the consolidated statement of operations.
Mortgage Residential Loans and Small Business Loans
In compliance with instructions issued by the SFC for mortgage residential loans and small business loans, the Bank must maintain at all times individual allowances corresponding to minimum percentages, which might differ if the loan has any collateral. Up to 70% of the collateral value is considered to repay the principal. There is no reference model issued for this type of loan.
The tables set forth below show the percentages applied on collateral for maintaining individual allowances according to the instructions issued by the SFC:
For Small Business Loans
For Mortgage Residential Loans
Allowances are calculated based on the following matrix authorized by the SFC:

Valuation of Mortgage Collateral for Allowance Purposes
Thecurrent fair value of the collateral recorded byor guarantee less the Bankestimated selling costs when applicable.
For loans that are not considered individually significant and for the portfolio of individually significant loans that are not considered impaired, a collective assessment is establishedcarried out. Portfolios of financial assets with similar risk characteristics are grouped together, using statistical techniques based on parameters issued by the SFC:
·In the caseanalysis of mortgage collateral consisting of residential real estate, the fair value shall be the appraisal established when the loan was disbursed and subsequently adjusted on a quarterly basis according to the residential price index published by the National Planning Department.
·In the case of mortgage collateral consisting of premises other than residential real estate, the fair value is updated on a periodic basis when the loan is renewed or impaired.
In October 2011, the SFC issued the External Circular 043 of 2011 with the purpose of setting forth the necessary instructions to be followed by financial institutions in order to determine the fair value of collateral securing loans, as well as the frequency of valuations of collateral. In accordance with these new regulations, all collateral must be valued at least every three years, except those which support mortgage and automobile loans, which must be valued annually. When the current valuation is overdue, the fair value is not consideredhistorical loss experience. The historical losses information losses used in the measurementprocess is adjusted to include the most recent data regarding current economic conditions, the performance trends by industry or region, or the concentration of certain allowances for loan losses as a mitigating factor. These new requirements took effect on June 30, 2012. As a consequenceobligations in each portfolio of the latest valuation the Bank has recognized as expense for allowance for loan losses an additional amount of COP 13,461 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
General Allowance
According to SFC rules, the Bank records a general provision corresponding to 1% of the total value of mortgage and small business loans. The general provision is updated on a monthly basis according to the increases or decreases in the loan portfolio. The general provision may also be increased if approvedfinancial assets by the general stockholders’ at the annual meeting.
Other provisions
The Bank and its subsidiaries Factoring Bancolombia S.A., Leasing Bancolombia S.A. and Tuya S.A. also record other allowances for specific clients in addition to minimum allowances required by the SFC, bearing in mind specific risk factors affecting clients, including macroeconomic, industrysegment, and any other factorsrelevant information that could indicate early impairment.may affect the impaired loss allowance.
At December 31, 2012, and 2011 additional allowances were as follows:

Charge-Offs
In June and DecemberQuantification of each year, the Bank writes off in full, debtors classified as “unrecoverable”,losses based on historical loss experience takes into account three fundamental factors: exposure at default, the following criteria: (i) allowanceprobability of 100% of all amounts past-due (principal, interestdefault and other items); (ii) One hundred and eighty (180) days past-due for consumer and small business loans; (iii) Three hundred and sixty (360) days past-due for commercial loans and (iv) one thousand six hundred and twenty (1,620) days past-due for mortgage loans.
The recovery of charged-off loans is accounted for as income in the consolidated statements of operations.
Troubled Restructured Loans
Loans are troubled restructured loans when the Bank, because of economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Such restructurings can employ different mechanisms in accordance with the regulatory framework to grant that concession to the debtor by modifying the original agreed terms in order to help the debtor to improve its financial conditions before any current or potential impairment of its debt service occurs. Among those mechanisms the Bank can provide an extension of the maturity date.
Troubled restructured loans are accounted for according to the terms of the restructuring agreement, including income accruals. When the agreement includes the capitalization of non-accrued interest previously recorded in memorandum accounts, the interest is recorded by increasing the loan balance with a credit to deferred income in other liabilities and this deferred income is amortized with a credit to income on a cash receipts basis.
In order to calculate the corresponding provisions, the ratings for these loans may be upgraded only when the Bank collects the principal of the loan on a regular basis.
For this purpose, the Bank has defined the following policy:
• Restructured loans rated either B or C, remain in this rating for two months following the date of the restructuring agreement; thereafter, the rating may be improved by one grade when the Bank collects four timely payments.
• Restructured loans rated D or E remain in this rating for four months following the date of the restructuring agreement; thereafter, the rating may be improved to a C rating when the Bank collects two timely payments, to B when the Bank collects four additional consecutive timely payments, and then to A when the Bank collects an additional four timely payments.
Sale of loan portfolios under securitizations process
Loans that are securitized are derecognized as non-recourse credit providing the following conditions are satisfied:loss given default:
· |
· | Probability of default (PD): This is the probability that the debtor fails to fulfill their obligations of capital and/or interest payment based on information available at each statement of financial position date. The |
- | The parameter “point-in-time,” which converts the probability of cycle-adjusted default required for regulatory purposes (defined as the average probability of default in a complete economic cycle) to the probability of default on a given date required by IFRS; known as “point-in-time” probability. |
- | The parameter “loss identification period” (LIP) is the time elapsed between the occurrences of a loss event and the moment in which that loss becomes evident at an individual level. The analysis of LIPs is made based on homogeneous risk portfolios. |
Financial assets are classified as impaired when the loans are typically three months or more past due as well as in cases where there is other objective evidence of impairment.
· | Loss given default (LGD): This is defined as the loss the Bank would incur in the event of any instance of default. This depends mainly upon the characteristics of the debtor and upon the valuation of guarantees or collateral. |
Once a loan or group of loans is classified as impaired, interest income continues to be recognized using the original contractual interest rate of the loan calculated over the carrying amount less the allowance for loan losses.
The financial assets are derecognized from the balance from the allowance for loan losses when they are considered non-recoverable. The recoveries of financial assets previously discounted are registered as an increase in the allowance for loan losses.
6.8 Debt modification or restructuring process
The debt restructuring is an alternative to achieve a proper collection management. It must be understood as an exceptional resource to standardize the behavior of a portfolio, applied through a legal commitment accomplished previously agreed. Such agreement aims to modify the originally established conditions in order to allow the accurate attention to the debt in the light of the real or potential impairment in the debtor’s payment ability. The debt restructuring is implemented through amendments to the contractual terms, rates and payment terms. In any case, at the restructuring time, all the guarantees must be preserved and if possible, the Bank’s position should be improved by obtaining new guarantees or guarantors that support the obligations.
In the restructuring, real property or personal property can be received as foreclosed assets to cancel partially or totally the obligations. Likewise, the Bank can grant discounts on interest or other as commissions. If necessary, the discount can be applied to debt principal, either because the guarantees or payment sources do not have coverage on total debt or because the agreement does not permit full recovery of the total balance. The terms are reviewed In each negotiation to determine if the client should continue in the portfolio and if so, the terms to restore the business relationship after a certain time.
When the financial asset is modified and withdraws the full original obligation, costs and fees are recognized as part of profit or loss, as well the difference between the value in the balance sheet and the consideration received. In the case in which the modification is not recognized as a cancellation, the costs and fees are adjusted and will be amortized by the remaining life of the modified asset.
Before the restructuring process, the Bank should perform an analysis of the debtor’s projected cash flow in order to evaluate the capacity to pay the proposed plan. Restructuring debts are classified as follows:
Private Agreement
Are those agreed with the client, after negotiations between the two parties, without any legal special scheme adopted by the debtor.
Regulated by the law agreements
These are the result of legal bankruptcy and insolvency procedures or corporate restructuring agreements acquired by the client.
6.9 Written-Off loan portfolio
Written-off loan portfolio will be imposed on the basis of the determination of non-recovery of the principal and receivables from a client or third party. In general, this characteristic will be fulfilled when the following default conditions are presented in the credit portfolio:
Type | Length of delinquency | |
Consumer | 180 days. For Tuya Credit Card from 135 days | |
Commercial | 360 days | |
Small Business Loan | 180 days | |
Mortgage | 1.620 days. For Banistmo and Banco Agrícola from 720 days |
Among the reasons for portfolio default, the estimated obligation recovery time must be considered as well as the probable recovery percentage with or without guarantees.
6.10 Leasing
The lease agreements entered into by the Bank are classified at the initial recognition as financial or operating leases.
The Bank classifies a lease as a financial lease when according to the agreement substantially, all the inherent risks and benefits are transferred to the lesee. Otherwise, the lease is classified as an operating lease, which is subject to depreciation charges and classified in the statement of financial position as premises and equipment.
Among the risks transferred are the possibilities of losses through underutilization, technological obsolescence, decrease in profitability or changes in the economic environment. Among the benefits derived from the use are the expectation of profit overthe economic life of the asset and eventually, the appreciation of its residual value or realization of the asset.
The following are indications of transfer of risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee:
· | The |
· |
· |
· | At the inception of the lease the present value of the |
· | The leased assets are of such a specialized nature that only the lessee has the possibility of using them without making significant modifications. |
If during the lease term, the lessor and the lessee decide to modify the initial conditions, and the agreed changes result in a different classification, then the modified agreement will be considered a new lease with new clauses that will lead to the classification of a financial or operating lease, as appropriate.
6.10.1 The Bank may also retain beneficial interestsas lessee
The assets taken for lease under financial leases are recognized at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Such assets are recognized as properties and equipment in the formstatement of financial position.
The assets leased under financial leases are depreciated throughout their life using the straight line method. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Bank will obtain the property at the end of the securitieslease term, the asset is depreciated throughout its life or the lease term, whichever is shorter. The lease payments are divided between interest and debt reduction. The finance charges are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.
The payments for operating leases, including incentives granted, are recognized as expenses in the consolidated statement of income during the lease term.
6.10.2 The Bank as lessor
The assets transferred under financial leases are not recognized as property and equipment since the risks associated with the property have been transferred to the lessee rather,the sum of the minimum payments to be received and any unguaranteed residual value discounted at the lease interest rate is recorded as part of the loan portfolio.
The assets leased under operating leases are recorded as property and equipment. The initial direct costs incurred in the negotiation of an operating lease are added to the carrying value of the leased assets and recorded as a cost during the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. The contingent rents of the leases are recorded as income in the period in which they are obtained.
6.11 Financial liabilities
At initial recognition, the Bank measures its financial liabilities at fair value minus, in the case of a financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss or at amortized cost respectively.
Derivative liabilities are measured at fair value through profit and loss. The gains or losses of those liabilities are recognized in the statement of income at the initial recognition and for subsequent measurements. Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. Gains and losses are recognized in the comprehensive statement of income when the liabilities are derecognized, as well as through the process of amortization under the effective interest rate method, which is included as a financial cost.
The compound financial instruments that comprise both a liability and equity component must be separated and accounted for separately. Therefore, for initial measurement, the liability component is determined by discounting future cash flows using the market rate at the date of the issuance (excluding the equity component) and the residual value is assigned to the equity component. Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition except on conversion or expiry. The liability component corresponds to the preferred dividend related to 1% of the subscription price, which is the payment of the minimum dividend on the preferred shares for each period in accordance with the Bank’s bylaws.
6.12 Financial guarantee contracts
In order to meet the needs of its customers, the Bank issues financial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees. These are commitments issued by the SPE,Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and through servicing fees onare mainly issued to guarantee agreements established between parties from the securitized receivable. The securitized loans may be serviced byenergy sector, private sector and public procurement contracts.
Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the Bank or by third parties. Currently, when acting asconsideration received, adjusted for the service manager,directly attributable transaction costs incurred. Such contracts are measured at the Bank is responsible for granting concessionshigher of the expected credit loss estimate according to the debtorsmodel described above in point 6.5. “Depreciation of financial assets at amortized cost,” and the amount initially recognized less the accumulated amortization.
Income derived from guarantees is recognized as fees and other service income in the statement of income over the term of the securitized loans and to perform the best effort to sell the foreclosed assets in favor of the structuring.contract.
According to Superitendency of Finance regulations any residual beneficial interest retained by the Bank in a securitization process must be recorded as a held to maturity investment in an amount equal to the value established for the beneficial interest in the balance sheet of the SPE created for such purpose. Before 2008 residual beneficial interests were not recognized. As a result, the Bank recognized residual beneficial interests in 2012, 20116.13.

(j) Derivatives
Derivatives are defined as agreements between two parties to purchase or sell financial instruments at a future date or agreements where the underlying is an index listed on a stock exchange. The Bank enters into derivative transactions only to facilitate customer business or for hedging purposes but not for speculation, inpurposes. Derivative instruments include forwards, options or swaps where the underlying are exchange rates, interest rates and securities. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and all changes in the fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
The Bank recognizes all of its derivativesderivative instruments at initial recognition on its balance sheetstatement of financial position as either assetshedging derivative or liabilities depending onas for trading purposes.
Certain transactions with derivatives that do not qualify to be accounted for as hedging are recorded as trading derivatives, even when they provide an economic hedge for the rights or obligations underrisk management positions.
Hedge accounting
– Fair value hedges are used by the derivatives contracts. All derivatives are measured at fair value; changes in the fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations, except theBank, through its Panamanian subsidiary, Banistmo, to protect against changes in the fair value of swap contracts on day oneinvestment securities that are deferredattributable to interest rate variability. Cash flow hedges are used mainly to reduce the variability in cash flows of deposits issued by Banistmo caused by interest rate changes.When the hedging relationship is considered to be highly effective, the changes in value of the hedging derivative are accounted for according to their classification as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges and recognizedhedges of net investment in foreign operations, as set in the consolidated statementsparagraph below.
The Bank assesses at the inception of operationsthe hedge and on a straight linemonthly basis during the life of the contract.instrument, whether the hedge used in the transaction is expected to be highly effective (prospective effectiveness), and considers the actual effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis (retrospective effectiveness). The SFC rules permitBank discontinues the hedge accounting butwhen the Bank does not usehedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge accounting.
Derivativeno longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting or if hedge designation is revoked. When hedge accounting for a fair value measurements are established as follows:
Forward Contracts
Thehedge is terminated the previous adjustments related to the changes in fair value of forward contracts is determined using the standardized methodology issued by the SFC, using the quoted forward price points published by authorized pricing providers and/or authorized brokerage firms that represent a major portion of market liquidity.
Swap Contracts
The fair value of swap contracts is determined using the discounted cash flow method at the interest rates applicable for each flow. Interest rate curveshedged item are calculated based on information provided by Bloomberg and Infoval. Counterparty credit risk on the swap is not includedsubsequently recorded in the valuation process.
Option Contracts
The fair valueconsolidated statement of option contracts is determined usingincome in the Black-Scholes/Merton method.
Spot Transactions
These are transactionssame manner as other components of the carrying amount of that are recorded with a term for their respective clearance equal to the date on which the transaction is recorded or up to three business days beginning on the day after the transaction was completed.
As of December 31, 2012, the Bank has taken the appropriate measures to adopt in 2013 the new requirements introduced by the External Circulars 039 and 050 of 2012 issued by the Colombian SFC, related to investments valuation techniques using a price providers approach. Consequently, the methodologies used by the authorized price providers have been tested in order to select the appropriate price provider.
k) Foreclosed Assetsasset.
The Bank records foreclosed assets usingdocuments at inception the relationship between hedged items and hedging instruments, as well as its risk management objectives and hedging strategies, which are previously approved by the Risk Management Committee as the body designated by the Board of Directors.
Hedge relationships, are classified and accounted for in the following criteria:
Legal Term for the Sale of Foreclosed Assetsway:
Financial institutions must sellFair value hedges are designated to protect against the foreclosedexposure to changes in the fair value of recognized assets by a date no later than two years afteror liabilities or unrecognized firm commitments.
Changes in the foreclosure date.
Impairmentfair value of Foreclosed Assets
derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the statement of income as financial expense or financial income. The SFC requires that a bank record a provision equalchange in fair value of the hedged item attributable to a percentagethe hedged risk is registered as part of the carrying value of the assethedged item, and it is also recognized in the statement of income as expense or income.
For fair value hedges that are related to items accounted for at amortized cost, the adjustments to the carrying value are amortized through the statement of income during the remaining term until their expiry. The amortization of the effective interest rate will be able to begin as long as there is an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item, but it will have to begin at the latest when the hedged item is no longer adjusted by changes to its fair value attributable to the risk that is being hedged. The amortization of the adjustments to the carrying value is based on the effective interest rate recalculated on the starting date of the amortization. If the hedged item is derecognized, the non-amortized fair value is recognized immediately in the comprehensive statement of income. If the hedge instrument expires or it is sold, terminated or exercised, or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Bank discontinues prospectively the hedge accounting. For the items hedged at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying value of the item hedged at the completion of the hedge and the nominal value are amortized using the effective rate method during the time surplus of receipt equalthe original terms of the hedge. If the hedged item is derecognized, the pending value to 60%amortize is recognized immediately in the statement of income.
When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with corresponding gain or loss recognized in the comprehensive statement of income.
– Cash flow hedges are used mainly to reduce the variability related to the cash flows in fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities recognized on statement of financial position or to a highly probable forecast transaction.
The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in the statement of income.
When the hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for real estate and 70% for other foreclosed assets. This provision must behedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recorded in straight-line monthly installments within the two years followingstatement of other comprehensive income is recognized in the bank’s receiptstatement of income when the hedged item is recognized in the statement of income.
–Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation:
In accordance with IFRS 9 ‘Financial instruments’ and IFRIC 16 ‘Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation’, the Parent Company has decided to apply the hedge accounting of the asset. Once this legal term for sale has expired, the provision must be increased to 80% and 100%, respectively. If an extension of the permitted term to sell the asset is grantedforeign currency risk arising from its net investment in Banistmo, designating as a hedging instrument certain debt securities in issued by the Superintendency,Parent Company. Considering the increase in the provision may be recorded on a monthly basis within the new term.
Also, it is the Bank’s policy,hedge accounting relationship, in the case of real estate foreclosed assetsthe net investment, the gain or loss derived from the foreign exchange differences related to the debt securities that remain for more than five yearsis determined to be an effective hedge is recognized in the Bank’s possession to increase the provision up to 100% of its book value. Foreclosed assets under commitment agreements to sell are excluded from this practice.
(l) Loan Fees
Loan origination and commitment fees,other comprehensive income, as well as direct loan originationthe currency translation adjustment of the Banistmo operation into the presentation currency as required by IAS 21 as detailed in F.2. ‘Functional and commitment costs, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as earned and as incurred.presentation currency’.
(m)7. Premises and Equipmentequipment
Premises and equipment include tangible items that are held for use for rental to others, or for administrative purposes and are expected to be used during more than one period.
Items of premises and equipment are recorded at the cost of acquisition, including directless accumulated depreciation and indirect costs and expenses incurred in their construction plus the inflation adjustment recorded until 2001 for premises and equipment purchased before that year.
impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on ausing the straight-line basismethod over the estimated useful lifelives of the asset.assets. The annual depreciation ratesdepreciable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. The estimated useful lives for each asset itemgroup are:
Asset group | Useful life range | |||
Buildings | 10 to 75 years | |||
Furniture and fixtures | 5 | |||
Computer equipment | 3 to 20 years | |||
Equipment and machinery | 3 to 40 years | |||
Vehicles | ||||
The net bookassets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. When there is a significant change, the depreciation and the charge to the statement of income are adjusted based on the new estimation.
Assets classified as premises and equipment are subject to impairment tests when events or circumstances occur indicating that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount and is recognized in the statement of income as ‘Other assets impairment’.
When the carrying value exceeds the recoverable value, the carrying value is adjusted to its recoverable value, modifying the future charges for depreciation, according to its new remaining useful life.
In a similar way, when indications exist that the value of land and buildings (cost less accumulated depreciation) is compared against fair values taken from independent professional appraisals. Ifan asset has been recovered, the fair value is higher, the difference is recorded as a “Reappraisal of Assets” with a credit to the “Surplus for Reappraisal of Assets” in Stockholders’ Equity; otherwise, the difference is charged to expenses as provision for other assets of the period. This provision may be reversed in future periods if the fairrecoverable value of the asset increases. Appraisals mustis estimated and recognized in the statement of income, registering the reversion of the impairment loss in previous periods, and consequently the future charges for the asset’s depreciation are adjusted. In any case, the reversion of the impairment loss of assets cannot increase its carrying value above the amount that it would have if impairment losses in previous periods had not been recognized.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the smallest identifiable group that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). The evaluation can be updatedcarried out at least every three years.individual asset level when the fair value less the cost of sale can be reliably determined and the value in use is estimated to be close to its fair value less costs to sell and fair value less costs to sell can be determined
(n) Prepaid Expenses, Deferred Charges
Amortization of prepaidMaintenance expenses and deferred charges is calculated from the date on which they first contribute to the generation of income, based on the following factors:
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses mainly include monetary items: prepaid interest is amortized monthly during the period prepaid; insurance, over the life of the policy; rent, over the period prepaid;premises and equipment maintenance, over the life of the contract; and other prepaid expenses, overare recognized as a cost in the period in which servicesthey are received or costsincurred and expenses are incurred.registered in the consolidated statement of income as other administrative and general expenses.
Gains and losses in the sale of premises and equipment are registered in the consolidated statement of income asDeferred Chargesother incomeorother expenses.
Land and buildings that the Bank holds to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for their use in the supply of services or sale in the ordinary course of business are recognized as investment properties.
The investment properties are measured initially at cost, including the transaction costs. The carrying value includes the cost of replacement or substitution of a part of an investment property at the time in which the cost is incurred, if the cost meets the recognition criteria; and it excludes the daily maintenance costs of the investment property.
After the initial recognition, the investment properties are measured at fair value which reflects the market conditions at the statement of financial position date. The gains and losses that arise from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the statement of income as ‘Other income’.
The investment properties are derecognized, either at the moment of their disposal, or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected. The difference between the net disposal proceeds of the asset and the carrying value is recognized in profit or loss in the period the disposal occurs.
Transfers to or from the investment properties are only made when there is a change in its use. For a transfer from an investment property to fixed assets, the cost taken into account for its subsequent accounting is the fair value at the time of the change in use. If a fixed asset becomes an investment property, it will be accounted for by its fair value.
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset with no physical appearance. Separately acquired intangible assets are measured initially at their cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in business combinations is their fair value at the date of acquisition. After the initial recognition, the intangible assets are accounted for at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss. The costs of internally generated intangible assets, excluding the costs from development that meet the recognition criteria, are not capitalized and the expense is reflected in the statement of income as it is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are determined as finite or indefinite. The intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Bank assesses its intangible assets in order to identify whether any indications of impairment exist, as well as possible reversal of previous impairment losses. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the close of each period. The expected changes in the useful life or in the pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits of the asset are accounted for when changing the period or amortization method, as appropriate, and they are treated as changes in the accounting estimates. The amortization expense of intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognized in the statement of income. The useful lives of the intangible assets with finite life ranges between 1 and 10 years.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amortization, but are periodically tested in order to identify any impairment, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of the indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine if it continues being valid.
The gain or loss that arises when an intangible asset is derecognized are measured as the difference between the disposal value and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognized in the statement of income.
The research costs are recorded as expenses as they are incurred. Costs directly related to the development of a stand-alone project are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
– | There is an ability to use or sell the intangible asset; |
– | It can be demonstrated how the asset will generate probable future economic benefits; |
– | Adequate technical, financial and other |
The |
(o) Premises and Equipment Held under Operating Leases
The subsidiaries Leasing Bancolombia S.A., Renting Colombia S.A., Arrendamiento Operativo CIB S.A.C. (formerly Renting Perú), Fondo de Inversión en Arrendamiento Operativo Renting Perú and Arfinsa lease assets under operating leasing arrangements. Assets under operating leases are recorded at cost. Equipment other than vehicles is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life.
Depreciation on vehicles under operating leasing arrangements is as follows:
1. Residual values of vehicles are established on a technical basis.
2. For vehicles purchased before December 31, 2009, their cost less their residual value is depreciated over a useful life of five years.
3. For vehicles purchased since January 1, 2010, their cost less their residual value is depreciated over the lease term.
4. When the lease agreement is renewed or the vehicle is received and placed under a new lease agreement, the new residual value is established and this book value less the new residual value is depreciated over the new lease term.
(p) Goodwill
The value of the goodwill acquired is determined once the Bank effectively obtains control over the acquired entity in an amount equal to the difference between the price paid and the net book value of the assets and liabilities acquired. Goodwill must be allocated to each of the business segments acquired and must be fully identified in the accounting records.
Since January 2008, goodwill recorded in the Group Banagrícola acquisition has been amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years since the Bank considers this method properly reflects the pattern in which the future economic benefits are expected to be received.
In the casestatement of goodwill acquired byfinancial position, the Bankrelated capitalized costs are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and its subsidiaries before 2008accumulated impairment losses.
Costs are capitalized during the amortization term was ten yearsapplication development stage and three yearsamortized on a straight line basis since the beginning of the production stage over the period of expected future economic benefits. During the development period, the asset is subjected to annual impairment tests to determine if impairment indications exists. The research and development costs that do not qualify for goodwillcapitalization are recorded as expenses in the subsidiaries Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banagrícola S.A., respectively. Goodwill fromincome of the acquisition of Renting Colombia is being amortized by Leasing Bancolombia S.A. over a period of five years on a straight-line basis.period.
Goodwill allocated to a business segment is tested for impairment annually, comparingThe Bank’s intangible assets comprise mainly intangibles of finite useful life: computer programs and applications, the fair valuelegal stability agreement signed with the bookMinistry of Finance and Public Credit, customer relationships and patents.Intangibles of indefinite useful life comprise Goodwill
10.1 Expenses paid in advance
The Bank registers the value of the business segments.
(q) Reappraisals of assets
This account records the excess over net book value of real estate properties and available for sale investments with a low trading volumeprepaid expenses which it incurs in the market or for non-listed investments,development of its business with a credit to the “Reappraisalpurpose of Assest” accountreceiving services in the Stockholders’ Equity.
Valuations are subject to the accounting policy for each type of asset.
(r) Trusteeships
Net assets put in trust under trust agreements are recorded in other assets at their book value. This account is adjusted periodically by the equity share of the Bank in the trust.
(s) Deferred Income
This account records deferred income and income received in advance in the course of business. Amounts recorded in this accountfuture.Prepaid expenses are amortized overduring the period to which they relate or in which the services are renderedreceived or the costs or expenses are recorded.
11. | Inventories |
The inventories of returned goods are those assets that come from an early termination of a lease (returned goods) or those upon which the lease has already concluded (premises and equipment), which are expected to be sold in the normal course of business. These are controlled by the Bank and are expected to generate future economic benefits.
The inventory of returned goods is recognized as an asset from the date in which the Bank assumes the risks and benefits of the inventories. The cost of it can be reliably measured and it is probable that it will generate future economic benefits.
The inventories of returned goods are valued using the specific identification method and their costs include the carrying value at the time the asset is returned.
The carrying values of returned goods is measured at the lower of the leasing agreement and the net realizable value (NRV). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less its estimated costs to make the sale. The adjusted amount in the carrying value to reach the net realizable value, is recognized in the statement of income of the period in which the goods are returned. The value of any reversion that comes from an increase in the net realizable value in which the increase occurs is recognized as a lower expense in the period.
When the inventories of returned goods are sold, their carrying value is recognized as a cost in the period in which the goods are sold.
Other inventories than returned goods are measured initially at acquisition cost which comprises the sum of the purchase price, the import costs (if applicable), the non-recoverable taxes paid, the storage, the transport costs, and other attributable or necessary costs for their acquisition, less discounts, reductions or similar items. Those inventories do not include selling costs.
The Bank must review the NRV2 of its inventories, at least annually or whenever necessary by market conditions. Any write-down adjustment must be recognized directly in the statement of income.
12. | Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations |
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying value will be recovered through a sale transaction, rather than through continuing use. These assets or groups of assets are shown separately in the statement of financial position at the lower of their carrying value and their fair value less costs to sell and they are not depreciated nor amortized from the date of their classification.
The held for sale condition is met if the assets or group of assets are available, in their current condition, for immediate sale and the sale transaction is highly probable and is expected to be completed within the year following the date of classification.
The Bank and its subsidiaries perform the measurement of the assets held for sale at the statement of financial position date. However these assets are evaluated quarterly if exist impairment indicators that imply review of the carrying value recorded in the accounts. If those indications are identified, impairment losses are recognized for the difference between the carrying and recoverable amount of an asset as ‘Other assets impairment’ in the statement of income.
A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale and, represents a separate major line of business or a geographical area of operations, is part of a single coordinated and individual plan to dispose a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Income and expenses coming from a discontinued operation must be disclosed separately from those coming from continued operations, in a single item after the income tax, in the consolidated statement of income even though the Bank retains a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary after the sale.
13. | Impairment of non financial assets, cash-generating units and goodwill |
The Bank evaluates whether there is any indication that on a stand-alone basis, cash-generating units are impaired at the end of each period. If some indication of impairment does exist, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the assets and the loss by impairment. Regardless of whether impairment indicators exist, goodwill must be tested annually for impairment.
2 Net realizable value= Fair value less selling costs
If an asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from the rest of the assets or group of assets, the recoverable amount is determined by the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows, that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
14. | Employee benefits |
14.1 Short term benefits
The Bank grants to its employees short term benefits such as bonuses, salaries, accrued performance costs and social security that are expected to settled wholly within 12 months. Expenses related to these benefits are recognized over the period in which the money is collected inemployees provide the case of profits obtained fromservices to which the sale of foreclosed assets on credit agreements.payments relate.
The capitalization of yields on restructured loans that have been recorded in memorandum accounts or as charged off loan balances are included in this category as indicated in this note under loans and financial leases.
(t) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax assets or liabilities must be recorded for all temporary differences raised in the current period based on consolidated statement of operations when comparing the amount of recognized income and expenses for accounting and tax purposes. Until 2011 the Bank did not recognize deferred tax assets. However, starting in 2012, taking into consideration the accounting rules applicable to financial institutions in Colombia in order to associate more accurately, in the current period, the tax effect that certain accounting items would have in future periods according to practices that have been observed in financial institutions in Colombia duly accepted by the SFC, the Bank recorded a deferred tax asset for a total amount of COP40,243, impacting the consolidated statements of operations in such amount only for the temporary differences between financial and tax bases arising since 2012.
(u) Legal Retirement Pensions
Under Colombian law,14.2 Other long term employee pension obligations are managed as a defined contribution plan since 1990. The Bank’s legal retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 relates to retired employees who rendered services to the Bank before the current regulations took effect. Retirement pension liabilities are calculated on an actuarial basis. The actuarial liability is amortized on a straight line basis over periods defined by local rules in accordance with Decree 4565 of 2010, which requires a distribution of charges to amortize the actuarial calculation by 2029. The Bank’s pension liability as of December 31, 2012 was fully amortized.
(v) Estimated Labor Liabilities
Other legal estimated labor liabilities are recorded based on applicable legislation and current labor agreements.benefits
In addition to legal benefits, the Bank grants to its employees other benefits such as retirement and seniority bonuses. Both liabilitiesThey are calculated on an actuarial basis, accruedpayments (different from post-employment benefits and recognizedtermination benefits) whose payment is not expected within the 12 months following the end of the annual period in which the consolidated statementsemployees have rendered their services. These benefits are projected up to the date of operations.payment and are discounted through the Projected Unit Credit method.The cost of long term benefits is allocated across the period from the time the employee entered into employement with the Bank and the expected date of obtaining the benefit.
(w) Long-Term Debt14.3 Pensions and other post-employment benefits
Long-term debt consists of bonds issued by the Bank, which are recognized at amortized cost.
The discount on issuance of bonds is recognized as deferred charge and amortized using the straight-line method over the maturity period.
(x) Other Accrued Expenses
- | Defined contribution plans |
The Bank records provisions to cover estimated liabilities, suchrecognizes contributions due in respect of the accounting period in the statement of income. Any contributions unpaid at the statement of financial position date are included as fines, sanctions, litigation and lawsuits, provided that the Bank has acquired a right, and therefore has an obligation; and the liability is probable, justifiable, quantifiable and verifiable.liability.
This account also records estimates for taxes and labor expenses calculated as indicated above.
- | Defined benefit plans |
(y) Additional paid-in capital
Additional paid-in capital consists of the excess paid by an investor over the par-value price of a stock issued. For the public offerings of preferred shares offered by the Bank exclusively outside of Colombia in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), the discount contained in an underwriting agreement is recognized as a deduction from the additional paid-in capital.
(z) Other Income, Costs and Expenses
Other income, cost and expensesThey are recognized on an accrual basis.
Loan origination costs are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations when incurred. The Bank has not implemented a policy of collecting commissions on the origination of the loans, and the commissions that it collects from credit cards are recorded in the income accounts using the accrual method.
Profits in leaseback transactions of real estate with a real estate investment fund, after duly evaluating the legal and economic aspects of the transaction are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
(aa) Memorandum Accounts
Contingent accounts record operationspost-employment benefit plans in which the Bank acquires rightshas the legal or assumes obligations conditioned by possible or remote future events. They also include financial income accrued on nonaccrual assetsimplicit obligation to take responsibility for the payments of benefits that have remained in the loan portfolio and financial leasing operations.its charge.
15. | Provisions and contingent liabilities |
Contingencies including fines, sanctions, litigation and lawsuits
Provisions are evaluated by the Bank’s Legal Department and its legal advisors. Estimating loss contingencies necessarily implies exercising judgment. In estimating loss contingencies regarding pending legal proceedings againstrecorded when the Bank legal counsel evaluates, among other aspects,has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the meritsobligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the case, the case law of the courts in question and the current status of the individual proceedings.
If this evaluation reveals the probability that a loss has occurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then this is duly recorded inobligation.
Provisions are determined by the financial statements. If the evaluation reveals that a potential loss is not probable, or the outcome either is uncertain or probable but the amountmanagement’s best estimate of the loss cannot be estimated, thenexpenditure required to settle the nature ofpresent obligation at the corresponding contingency is disclosed in a note to the financial statements along with the probable estimated range of the loss. Loss contingencies that are estimated as being remote are not disclosed, except when a remote contingency is required by a regulator.
Memorandum accounts also record third party operations whose nature does not affect the financial situation of the Bank. Contingent and memorandum accounts are included in the caption “memorandum accounts” of the balance sheet. This also includes tax memorandum accounts that are used in preparing income tax returns, as well as all those internal control or management information accounts and reciprocal transactions carried out between the Bank and its Subsidiaries.
(ab) Net Income per Share
To determine net income per share, the Bank uses the weighted average of Preferred and Common Shares outstanding during the accounting period. During the years ended on December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank’s weighted average of Preferred and Common Shares outstanding were 845,531,918 and 787,827,003, respectively.
(ac) Insurance Liabilities
Actuarial liabilities
Actuarial liability for long term individual life insurance is calculated based on mortality tables, interest rates and actuarial formulas for each type of insurance.
The interest rate used in calculating the liability is the rate used to calculate the premium of the life insurance contract according to each type of insurance.
Premiums
Premiums on short-duration insurance contracts are deferred and amortized against income on a straight-line basis during the insurance contract life.
Liability for incurred but not reported claims
The liability for incurred but not reported claims (“IBNR”) is calculated as the average value of payments made by claims over the last three years but not reported in the year they occurred.
Salvage and Recovery
This item records all those revenues received from salvaging goods subject to claims for which the insurance company has paid to its clients the corresponding indemnities.
(ad) Business Combinations
Business combinations are recorded as follows: (i) the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recorded at book value, (ii) the consolidated statements of operations of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs includes the income of the acquired company as if the acquisition had occurred on the first dayend of the reporting period and (iii)it is discounted using discount rates based on a review of Colombian sovereign bond yields (TES rate3). The corresponding expense of any provision is recorded in the costs directly related to the purchase business combination are not considered as a costcomprehensive statement of income, net of all expected reimbursement. The increase of the acquisition, but deferred and amortized over a reasonable period as determined by Bank management.
However, the Conavi and Corfinsura acquisition which occurred in 2004 was accounted for using the pooling of interests methodprovision due to the fact that the combination was between entities under common control.
(3) Transactions in Foreign Currency
Colombian regulations define the limit on the amounttime value of foreign-currency assets and liabilitiesmoney is recognized as 20% of the Bank’s Technical Capital. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank was in compliance with these regulations.
Substantially all foreign currency holdings are in U.S. Dollars. The consolidated foreign currency assets and liabilities of the Bank at December 31, 2012 and 2011, converted to USD based on exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet dates, were as follows:

Possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Bank, or a present obligation that arise from past events but are bonds denominatednot recognized because it is not probable, that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations. or the amount of the obligations cannot be measured with sufficient reliability are not recognized in the financial statement but instead are disclosed as contingent liabilities, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, in which case no disclosure is required.
Possible assets that arise from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events, not wholly within the control of the Bank, are not recognized in the financial statement; instead are disclosed as contingent assets where an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate.
16. | Customer loyalty program |
The Bank maintains a credit card loyalty program to provide incentives to its customers. The program allows customers to purchase goods and services, based on the exchange of awards point called “miles”, which are awarded based on purchases with the Bank's credit cards and the fulfillment of certain conditions established in such program. Miles redemption for prizes is carried out by a third party. According to IFRIC 13, the expenses of the Bank's commitments with its clients arising from this program are recognized as a lower value of the fee and other serviceincome, considering the total number of points that can be redeemed over the accumulated prizes and taking into account the probability of redemptions.
17. | Ordinary revenue |
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits flow to the Bank and that the revenue can be measured reliably.
17.1 | Interest and revenues and expenses |
For all financial instruments measured at amortized cost, interest revenues are recognized using the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts future estimated cash flows payments through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying value of the financial liability or asset The computation takes into account all the contractual conditions of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) and includes incremental fees or expenses that are directly attributed to the instrument and are an integral part of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), but not future credit losses.
For debt securities at fair value, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the statement of income as ‘Interest and valuation on investments’
17.2 | Commissions and others |
The Bank charges commissions received from the services it offers to its clients. Revenue from commissions can be split into the following two categories:
- | Revenue from commissions obtained from the services that are provided for a certain period of time. |
These are commissions earned from the provision of services for a certain period of time. These payments include revenue from commissions and assets management, custody and other administration and consulting commissions.
Commissions from loan commitments that are likely to be used and other payments related with the credit are deferred (along with any incremental expense) and recognized as an adjustment to the statement of income. When it is not possible to demonstrate the likelihood that a loan will be used, the commissions from the origination of the loan are recognized during the commitment period on a straight line basis.
- | Transaction services revenue |
Fees arising from the negotiation or participation in the negotiation of a transaction for a third party, such as the acquisition of shares or other securities or the purchase or sale of businesses, are recognized at the end of the underlying transaction. Commissions or fee components that are linked to a specified performance are recognized after the corresponding criteria are met.
17.3 | Dividend revenue |
For the portfolio investments that are not associates and where the Bank has no significant influence, dividends are recognized when the right to payment of the Bank is established, which is generally when the stockholders meeting declares the dividend.
17.4 | Net operating income |
The income derived from commercial operations (trading) includes all profits and losses from variations in the fair value and revenue or expenses for related interests from financial liabilities or assets. This includes any inefficiency registered in the hedging transactions.
18. | Income tax – CREE and deferred tax |
The provision for income tax consists of two components: current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax corresponds to income taxes and CREE payables during the taxable period, pursuant to the tax regulations and rates in force in Colombia and in each of the countries where the subordinate companies are domiciled.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are based upon the temporary differences arising from the future estimate of tax and accounting effects attributable to differences between assets and liabilities shown in the statement of financial position and its tax base; as well as on temporary differences in the income statement for the realization for tax and accounting purposes in different periods.
Measuring assets and liabilities for deferred taxes is performed according to the tax rates of each country's tax laws that is expected to apply at the time of recovery (settlement) of the amount on the asset (liability) ledgers that have been recorded in the entity's statement of financial position.
The future effects of changes in tax laws or tax rates are recognized in the deferred taxes as from the date of publication of the law providing for such changes.
Deferred tax assets are recorded due to deductible temporary differences or offsets, provided that Grupo Bancolombia is likely to have net income in later periods with which such deductible temporary differences may be reverted.
Tax credit from fiscal losses and excess amounts from the presumptive income on the net income is recognized as a deferred asset, provided that it is likely that the entity will generate future net income to allow their offset.
Deferred tax is recognized in the income statement, except when it refers to values recognized directly in Other Comprehensive Income account in the equity.
Grupo Bancolombia performs periodical assessments of positions taken on tax statements with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and adjusts the recorded amounts, as applicable, based on the amounts expected to be paid to tax authorities.
Regulatory changes in tax laws and in tax rates are recognized in the income statement in the deferred or in the income tax heading in the period when such regulatory change becomes enforceable. Sanctions imposed for discussions and their interest are recognized in the income statement in the heading referred as general and administrative expenses.

The recoverable amount of Uff Movil at December 31, 2014 amounts to COP11,283, and was determined using the fair value through the discounted cash flows valuation methodology. This valuation methodology determines the fair value of the company considering its cash generation capability attributable to the stockholders. This methodology estimates the available future cash flows by simulating the company or cash-generation unit operating performance taking into account reasonable and objective key assumptions and forward-looking projections based on the Bank’s general expectations related to the business, the company’s historical trends and the qualified evaluator’s independent criteria; and finally for estimating the present value of the available cash flows, the model uses a discount rate which implies the time value of money and the business risks. Consequently, the asset is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
On November 30, 2015, Uff! Móvil was sold to a third party and the related goodwill was disposed at a loss.
The Bank tests goodwill recognized upon business combinations for impairment at least annually using a process that begins with an estimation of the recoverable amount of a cash-generation unit (CGU). Fair value is determined by management by reference to market value, if available, by pricing models, or with the assistance of a qualified evaluator. Determination of fair value by a qualified evaluator or pricing model requires management to make assumptions and use estimates to forecast cash flow for periods that are beyond the normal requirements of management reporting; the assessment of the discount rate appropriate to the reporting unit; estimation of the fair value of cash-generation units; and the valuation of the separable assets of each business whose goodwill is being reviewed.
The key assumptions used by management in determining the fair value are:

On October 1, 2013, after obtaining the required regulatory authorizations Bancolombia Panama acquired 40% of the common stock of GAH. The consideration paid by Bancolombia was USD 217,000 in cash. Likewise, the agreement set forth a series of call options held by Bancolombia Panama and put options held by BFC, with which after 5 years since that date Bancolombia Panama had the right to buy and BFC the obligation to sell, the number of voting shares required to hold 51% of the total share capital of GAH, on the other hand, during 5 years since the effective date, BFC had the right to sell and Bancolombia Panama the obligation to buy, any number of voting shares; however, the option never could be for a number of shares that would result in a 50%/50% of ownership over GAH as of October 2013.
In September 2015, the Share Purchase Agreement aforementioned was modified:
1. | BFC agreed to sell 40,540,000 common shares of Grupo Agromercantil (equivalent to 20% of the subscribed and paid capital) to Bancolombia Panama. |
2. | The consideration payable in cash by Bancolombia Panama is USD 151,500. |
3. | At the time of share transfer, December 30, 2015, the consideration paid was based on the estimated consolidated net income of GAH as of December 31, 2015, and will be trued-up once audited numbers are available. As part of the modification of the agreement, the Bank entered into a put agreement to acquire the remaining 40% shares in Grupo Agromercantil Holding at a contractually determined future date and value. The puttable non-controlling interest liability was recognized in the statement of financial position. The non-controlling shareholders in Grupo Agromercantil Holding have the option to put their 40% interest in Agromercantil to the Bank, using a market valuation formula based on future profits. |
The acquisition achieved in stages of GAH and its subsidiaries is being accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3. Accordingly, the Bank has remeasured its previously held equity interest in GAH at its acquisition-date fair value and recognized the resulting gain or loss considering any other comprehensive income previously recorded related to currency translation adjustment and equity method adjustment. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date as summarized in the following table. All acquired loans were also recorded at fair value. Preliminary goodwill of USD 233,396 (COP 735,073) is calculated as the purchase premium after adjusting for the fair value of net assets acquired, and the related deferred tax amounts of USD 28,954 (COP 91,191). The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of the analysis of the fair values of GAH’s assets and liabilities.
For this acquisition, the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on the information available at the end of the reporting period. The Bank considers this information provides a reasonable basis for determining fair values. Likewise, the Bank is currently evaluating these fair values and they are subject to review as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information becomes available. Any subsequent changes resulting from the evaluation of these estimates may adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement.

Constitutional public interest action filed by Jose Reinaldo Bolaños
The plaintiffs argue that several financial institutions, including Bancolombia, have illegally charged amounts not due through illegal capitalizationdetail of interest in connection with the agreements to restructure public debt by the municipality of Santiago de Cali, signed in accordance with the fiscal and financial relief law.
The plaintiffs alleged that the involved financial institutions, in addition to breach of laws regarding the charging of interest to clients, breached the collective rights to public administration’s morality and the protection of the public funds of the municipality of Santiago de Cali.
The plaintiffs seek reimbursement of amounts charged in excess of which Bancolombia would pay COP 88,500.
On June 2011, a public interest conciliation hearing took place without an agreement being reached. As of December 31, 2012 the court had served the order by which the evidentiary stage was opened; such stage is currently open.
Inversiones C.B. S.A.
In 1997, Conavi (currently Bancolombia) granted a COP 6,000 credit facility to Inversiones C.B. S.A. for a real estate development project. The credit agreement provided for multiple disbursements subject to advances in the construction of the project, among other requisites. Due to an interruption of the construction of the project and a default by the builder, Conavi suspended the disbursements, which in the opinion of the plaintiffs was a breach of contract that generated consequential damages. The claim filed by the plaintiff seeks for the paymentCDT’s maturities issued by the Bank of actual and expectation damages, including loss of profits and corresponding interests, the opportunity cost of capital, the value of the project’s liabilitiesis as well as the effects of inflation.follows:

F-84
This contingency is considered to be remote, since the Bank disbursed the funds according to the terms and conditions agreed upon, the plaintiff incurred in inadequate use of proceeds, and other external causes, such as the project’s lack of feasibility and the prevailing crisis within the construction sector, were the main reasons for the failure of the project.
In August 2010, a favorable ruling for the bank was issued by the courts, which was later appealed by the plaintiff. As of December 2012 the appeal is still pending.
Carlos Julio Aguilar and others.
This class action was filed by the plaintiff arguing that the restructuring of the financial obligations of the Departamento del Valle and the performance plan signed by the plaintiff allegedly breached the collective rights to public administration’s morality and the protection of the public funds. The proceeding is in the evidentiary stage, which was suspended due to accumulation of proceedings with another constitutional public interest action based on this same alleged grievance, filed by Carlos Aponte.
As of December 31, 2012, the proceeding is pending the rendering of an expert’s opinion on the amount of interest charged to Departamento del Valle by the financial institutions acting as defendants.
Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda and Jose Vicente Katarain Velez.
The plaintiffs alleged Conavi was liable for the damages caused by the issuance of a certification containing wrongful information, which supposedly misled a judicial officer. This fact caused pretrial detention against José Vicente Katarain Velez.
Mr. Katarain Vélez was investigated on charges of theft and criminal restraint. In 1992, the prosecutor served Conavi with a request to furnish information relating to the transactions made to and from the bank account from which Mr. Katarain Vélez allegedly withdrew funds. One of the statements of Conavi set forth an erroneous date, which did not match with the date stamped on the withdrawal receipt. According to the plaintiffs, such erroneous certification caused Mr. Katarain Vélez and Editorial Oveja Negra Ltda. financial damages.
As favorable facts to the Bank, there was evidence of misdoings by Mr. Katarain in the case file. The erroneous statement could have been easily recognized by the prosecutor by referring to the documents attached to the report. In our opinion, the mistake in the certificate was not a determinative factor in the criminal investigation proceeding.
In the ruling in the first instance the judge dismissed the claim and ordered the plaintiffs to pay the legal expenses. The plaintiff appealed that decision but the appeal was decided in favor of the Bank on March 14, 2011. On March 24, 2011, the plaintiff filed an extraordinary recourse against the ruling before the Supreme Court of Justice, which was admitted on February 9, 2012, and legal expenses were fixed by the judge in an amount of COP 10. The Bank objected to such amount and the case was remanded to the Jower court that originally decided the matter, which fixed the legal expenses in an amount of COP 400. As of December 31, 2012, still pending in the proceeding is a decision regarding legal expenses to be paid by the plaintiffs.
Suescún & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda.
Law firm Suescún & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda., who represented Bancolombia in the arbitration process initiated by the Bank against Jaime Gilinski and others, filed a suit against the Bank alleging that the settlement agreement reached between the parties to the arbitration proceeding entitled the firm to receive the success fee initially agreed between the Bank and the law firm.
The Bank received notice of the claim, and on June 1, 2012, presented a response to such claim. As of December 31, 2012, the proceeding is still pending.
Ordinary lawsuit filed by Gloria Amparo Zuluaga Arcila
The plaintiff alleged damages as a result of debits to the applicant’s checking accounts in 1995 and 1996. This proceeding is related to certain criminal acts performed in the Unicentro Branch of the former Banco Industrial Colombiano (currently Bancolombia).
As of June 30, 2011, the proceeding was in an evidentiary stage, and several testimonies were dismissed due to the difficulties to subpoena the witnesses that were former employees of the Bank. On November 25, 2011, the court selected an expert witness to render an opinion.
As of December 31, 2012, we are awaiting for the final allegations stage of the process.

SUBSIDIARIES
BANCO AGRICOLA S.A.
On December 8, 2009, service of process was made to Banco Agrícola of a lawsuit filed against it in the Second Civil Court of San Salvador, consisting of a summary trial claim and settlement of material and pain and suffering for the alleged failure to return certain property seized by Banco Agrícola in a proceeding that started in 1989 mainly consisting of 31 heads of cattle, 13 calves, 11 horses, a tractor and other tools claiming compensation for material and pain and suffering quantified by the plaintiff in USD 284,470 and USD 5,000.
On September 7, 2011, the same Court, at the request of the plaintiff, updated the amount of damages being claimed increasing the amount of compensation for material damages to USD 361,470, and maintaining pain and suffering valued in USD 5,000.
On December 19, 2012, the Court´s first instance ruling was issued in favor of the plaintiff ordering the defendant to pay material damages for the amounts mentioned above. Such ruling was appealed by Banco Agrícola, seeking an overturn in the second instance, based on the legal mistakes present during the proceeding and considering Banco Agrícola’s defense arguments.
In its defense, Banco Agricola has argued that, according to El Salvador´s legislation, the judicial custodian is responsible for the custody and return of the seized assets. The judicial custodian was not Banco Agricola, but rather, it was an individual designated by the Court. Additionally, in a separate criminal proceeding filed by the plaintiff against the judicial custodian the court issued an absolutory based on the argument that the plaintiff did not prove that the assets were not returned.
As of the date of the financial statements, this proceeding was pending in the First Civil Chamber of San Salvador. The management, based on the external legal counsel in charge of the proceeding, has deemed it as remote, there is no provision for this contingency.
LEASING BANCOLOMBIA S.A.
As of December 31, 2012, the following were the proceedings against Leasing Bancolombia, with a claimed amount equal or above COP 1,000:

* Proceedings regarding civil liability for traffic accidents, in which our experience and the evidence in our favor, allows us to assess the risk probability as remote. The amount of these claims is a consequence of the moral damages allegedly suffered due to casualties in traffic accidents or due to the number of persons involved.
The assessment of “reasonably possible” was given to Transportes Cetta because, even if there is evidence in favor of Leasing Bancolombia, the stage of the case and the way it has developed so far makes it advisable to make such assessment.
In the opinion of our external counsels none of these contingencies is likely to materialize; therefore, no provisions have been made for any of the proceedings as of the date hereof.

(30) Subsequent Events
Agreement to acquire HSBC bank in Panamá
On February 19, 2013, the Bank announced the execution of an agreement with HSBC Holdings plc’s Latin American holding company, HSBC Latin America Holdings (UK) Limited (“HSBC”), to acquire HSBC Bank (Panama) S.A. (“HSBC Panamá”). The agreement provides for Bancolombia to pay total cash consideration of USD 2,100,000, subject to certain customary adjustments based upon estimated net asset value at completion of USD 700,000, in exchange for 100% of common shares, and 90.1% of preferred shares of HSBC Panamá.
The agreement provides for the acquisition of HSBC Panamá’s subsidiaries, including its securities, trust, consumer finance businesses and an insurance company. The transaction will not include the subsidiaries of HSBC Panamá in Colombia (HSBC Colombia S.A. and HSBC Fiduciaria S.A.), which are being sold to a third party by HSBC as part of a previously announced transaction.
The transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013, subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Wind-down of Bancolombia’s Miami Agency
On March 5, 2013, Bancolombia announced its decision to wind-down the business and operations of its agency in Miami, Florida. This decision was made pursuant to the strategy to focus on other international markets. The wind-down process is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2013.
Issuance of bonds by Leasing Bancolombia
Leasing Bancolombia, a subsidiary of the Bank, as a part of its global ordinary notes program to issue up to an aggregate principal amount of COP 4,500,000 in ordinary notes, has issued COP 600,000 ordinary notes in the local market with an aggregate principal amount of COP 600,000 on March 20, 2013.
DIAN proceeding for the income tax for 2006
In 2010, Bancolombia filed a claim seeking to declare as null and void a revised official assessment issued by the Colombian tax authority (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales – DIAN) in reference to the income tax return for fiscal year 2006. In the revised official assessment, DIAN rejected certain costs and deductions from the income tax return, and included new income items.
In January 28, 2013, the Administrative Court of Antioquia issued a first instance ruling favorable to Bancolombia, in which the revised official assessment was declared null and void and the sanction imposed by DIAN to Bancolombia for the alleged inaccuracy in its income tax return for fiscal year 2006 was overturned.
Notwithstanding the favorable ruling, the Court failed to declare in its ruling that Bancolombia was entitled to include the disputed cost and deductions for an amount of COP 36,650 in its income tax return and that the added income for an amount of COP 17,979 was not legal. Accordingly, Bancolombia filed an appeal against the first instance ruling before the State’s Counsel (Consejo de Estado) seeking for such declarations.
As of December 31, 2012, this contingency amounted to COP 41,904 and an allowance for 50% of such amount was recorded.
(31) Differences between Colombian Accounting Principles for Banks and U.S. GAAP
The Bank’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices prescribed by the SFC and other legal provisions (“Colombian banking GAAP”). These principles and regulations differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The principal differences between Colombian banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP and the effect on consolidated net income and consolidated stockholders’ equity are presented below, with an explanation of the adjustments.
The following is a summary of adjustments to consolidated net income and consolidated stockholders’ equity.

Offsetting of Repurchase and Resale Agreements
For the Bank and its Colombian subsidiaries, substantially all of repurchase and resale activities are transacted under legally enforceable repurchase agreements that give the Bank, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held with the same counterparty. However, the local law for certain jurisdictions is unclear to determine the enforceability of offsetting rights.
The Bank does not offset repurchase and resale transactions with the same counterparty on the consolidated statement of financial positionevenwhere it has such a legally enforceable netting agreement.
The table below presents repurchases and resale transactions included in the consolidated statement of financial position as cash and due from banks at December 31, 2015 and 2014 and as of January 1, 2014:

Summary of significant differences and required U.S. GAAP disclosures
Deferred tax assets or liabilities must be recorded for all temporary differences raised in the current period based on the consolidated statement of operations when comparing the amount of recognized income and expenses for accounting and tax purposes.
Under U.S. GAAP, deferred tax assets or liabilities must be recorded for all temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized and settled. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, part of the deferred income taxes included the tax benefits received upon the acquisition of certain property and equipment.
Income tax expense under U.S. GAAP is comprised of the following components for the years ended at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010:

Difference to be recognized under U.S. GAAP stockholders’ equity | COP | (301,332 | ) | COP | (131,079 | ) |
(1) This amount was previously reported in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 20-F as of December 31, 2011, as part of deferred income taxes under U.S. GAAP. The presentation of the deferred taxes above has been changed to separately identify the impacts of ASC 740-10-25-51 in premises and equipment. There is no impact on stockholders’ equity as consequence of this change.
Under U.S. GAAP, the tax effect of asset purchases that are not business combinations in which the amount paid differs from the tax basis of the asset shall not result in immediate income statement recognition. The simultaneous equations method is used to record the assigned value of the asset and the related deferred tax asset. During the application of ASC 740-10-25-51 for the year ended December 31, 2012, that results in the recognition of a difference between U.S. GAAP and Colombian banking GAAP in the cost basis, accumulated depreciation, depreciation expense, and deferred tax asset for certain premises and equipment, management became aware that in the Bank’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for the purpose of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation adjustment the differences derived from the cost basis, accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense were incorrectly disclosed as being only a part of the deferred tax assets and related taxes in the income statement.
Application of ASC 740-10-25 on asset purchases during 2012 and 2011 resulted in a decrease of premises and equipment by COP 206,076 in 2012 and COP 161,220 in 2011.
On December 26, 2012, pursuant to law 1607 of 2012, Congress established and defined new criteria applicable to income tax and value added tax, among others. Under the new tax regime, Colombian companies and individuals are required to calculate annually theImpuesto sobre la Renta para la Equidad (“CREE”).
The applicable statutory tax rate for CREE is 9% from 2013 to 2015 and 8% in subsequent years. The CREE does not allow the discounting of carry forward losses neither the excess of presumptive income to establish the related taxable income. Therefore, deferred income tax expense (benefit) at December 31, 2012 was determined using a rate of 25% for carry forward losses and excess of presumpive income, a rate of 34% for other temporary differences which will be reversed up to year 2015 and a rate of 33% for other temporary differences that will be reversed from year 2016. The deferred income tax at December 31 2011 and 2010 was determined using a rate of 33%.
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was COP 48,825 and COP 19,584, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2012 was an increase of COP 29,242, and for the year ended December 31, 2011 was a increase of COP 871. The valuation allowance relates to the following: Loss carryforwards, Excess of presumed income over ordinary income, and higher fiscal costs of certain premises and equipment.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal over an entity level basis of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Bank will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2012. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
Due to the expiration on December 31, 2010 of the tax stability regime entered into with the Government of Colombia, Bancolombia was taxed at a total income tax rate of 33% for the fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The nominal income tax rate was 35% for year 2010. This tax rate differs from the 28.29%, 34.95% and 22.87% effective tax rates for years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the following:

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no covenants linked to the aforementioned securities in issue, nor were any of these instruments past due by the Bank in relation to its financial obligations.
For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, non-taxable income mainly includes dividends received from affiliated companies, gains on sale of tax-exempt equity securities and tax-exempt interest income on mortgage securities and tax-exempt interest income on certain residential mortgage loans.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries amounting to COP 846,587 and COP 848,496 respectively, on which deferred income taxes have not been provided because earnings are expected to be reinvested indefinitely outside of Colombia. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Bank would be subject to income tax.

Colombian banking GAAP uses nominal average historical discount rates to calculate the projected benefit obligationand the liability is then amortized against expenses on a straight line basis over defined periods established by local rules. Since 2010, additional increases in the liability related to changes in mortality tables are amortized until the year 2029.Severance obligation
For U.S. GAAP purposes, actuarial valuations of pension plans are performed annually using discount rates based on a review of Colombian sovereign bond yields with maturities approximating the remaining life of the projected benefit obligation. Changes in the projected benefit obligation due to gains or losses for changes in actuarial assumptions and prior service costs are recorded against Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, and amortized to expenses on a straight line basis over the future service periods of the employees or for inactive participants in the plan over their remaining life expectancy. Amortization of accumulated gains or losses only begins when they exceed 10% of the projected benefit obligations.Colombia
Net period pension costs recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations include the service cost attributed by the plans benefit formula, interest cost and amortization of prior service costs and actuarial gains or losses on the plan, as explained above.
Severance obligation
Under Colombian labor regulations, employees hired before 1990 are entitled to receive one month’s salary for each year of service. This benefit accumulates and is paid to the employees upon their termination or retirement from the Bank, calculated based on the employees’ last salary base; however, employees may request advances against this benefit at any time. In 1990, the Colombian government revised its labor regulations for new employees to permit companies, subject to the approval of the employees, to transfer this severance obligation annually to private pension funds. The Bank’s severance obligations relate to employees hired before 1990.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the liability forAs of December 2015, 828 participants were covered by this unfunded employee benefit plan is recorded on an accrual basis. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the liability is calculated and recorded on an actuarial basis by pension plan.

Inflation adjustment
The consolidated financial statements under Colombian banking GAAP were adjusted for inflation based on the variation in the local consumer price index (IPC), from January 1, 1992 to December 31, 2000.
The U.S. GAAP adjustment represents the cumulative inflation adjustment on the Bank's non-monetary assets for inflation occurring prior to January 1, 2001, less depreciation expense.
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has not recognized any reconciliation adjustment in results under U.S. GAAP, due to the fact that there was no sale of non-monetary assets adjusted for inflation acquired before January 1, 1992.
Capitalization of interest cost
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the interest costs incurred during the construction of premises and equipment are recorded as expenses in the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank has capitalized interest costs incurred during the construction of qualifying premises and equipment. The capitalized interest is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Under Colombian banking GAAP, an impairment loss of long-lived assets is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations against an allowance in the Balance Sheet when the fair value of the assets is lower than their carrying amounts.
Under U.S. GAAP, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amounts of those assets are not recoverable and exceed their fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In such cases, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets and the new adjusted carrying amount becomes the new cost basis.
Real estate held for sale
According to Colombian banking GAAP, real estate held for sale is recorded similar to real estate in use.
Under U.S. GAAP, long lived assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value less estimated costs to sell, and are not subject to depreciation.
Depreciation adjustment on premises and equipment purchased with income tax benefits
Under Colombian tax law, some specific purchases of premises and equipment have an additional deduction over the total depreciation of such assets, recognized in the income tax return on the period when the assets are acquired.
Under U.S. GAAP, the tax effect of asset purchases that are not business combinations in which the amount paid differs from the tax basis of the asset shall not result in immediate income statement recognition. The simultaneous equations method is used to record the assigned value of the asset and the related deferred tax asset.
During the application of ASC 740-10-25-51 for the year ended December 31, 2012, that results in the recognition of a difference between U.S. GAAP and Colombian banking GAAP in the cost basis, accumulated depreciation, depreciation expense, and deferred tax asset for certain premises and equipment, management became aware that in the Bank’s Annual Reports on Form 20-F, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, for the purpose of the U.S. GAAP reconciliation adjustment the differences derived from the cost basis, accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense were incorrectly disclosed as being only a part of the deferred tax assets and related taxes in the income statement.

According to Colombian banking GAAP, reappraisals of a portion of the Bank’s premises and equipment, equity investments and other non-monetary assets are made periodically and the effects of the increase or decrease are recognized in the Balance Sheet under the assets caption “Reappraisal of assets” and in the stockholders’ equity caption “Surplus from reappraisals of assets”. The latest reappraisals were made during the years 2012 and 2011. Under U.S. GAAP, reappraisals of assets are not permitted and thus these amounts are reversed.
As established by the SFC, the methodology for evaluating loans and financial leases under Colombian banking GAAP, as discussed in Note 2 (i), is based on their inherent risk characteristics and serves as a basis for recording loss allowances based on loss percentages estimated or established by the SFC. Under Colombian banking GAAP, the loan loss allowance is determined and monitored on an ongoing basis, and is established through periodic provisions charged to the statements of operations.
Under U.S. GAAP the Bank considers in determining that the loan is impaired, among other factors, the economic performance and trends in the client’s industry, the monthly analysis that considers the likelihood of receiving all principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and specific events that could affect in a negative way the client’s real capacity to pay.
All impaired loans that exceed a specific threshold COP 2,000 or that are Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) are individually assessed for impairment. All other loans are assesed on a collective basis.
The allowance for significant impaired individually assessed loans and all TDRs is measured based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective loan rate or the fair value of the collateral net of estimated costs to sell in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is provided when the estimated future cash flows discounted at their original effective rate or collateral fair value is lower than book value.
To calculate the allowance required for all other loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, loss ratios are determined by analyzing historical losses. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and for homogeneous groups of clients established according to the underlying risk or other characteristics of each group. Such historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.
Under Colombian banking GAAP allowances on homogeneous loan portfolios are established based on probability of default, which is defined as the probability of the debtor within a specific loan portfolio or segment and rating, defaulting on its obligations within the next twelve (12) months. Under U.S. GAAP, this probability of default is determined by analyzing estimated defaults or foreclosures based on portfolio trends, historical losses, client’s payment behavior regard to with past-due loans greater than 90 days, delinquencies, bankruptcies, economic conditions and credit scores.
Many factors can affect the Bank’s estimates of the allowance for loan losses, including volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity.
Credit losses relating to loans, which may be for all or part of a particular loan, are deducted from the allowance. The related loan balance is charged off in the year in which the loans are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of loans and trade receivables previously charged off are credited to the allowance when received. The allowance is increased by provisions and recoveries of loans and leases previously charged off, and are reduced by charged-off loans and leases deemed uncollectible.
In addition, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank maintains a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments, including commitments to extend credit, guarantees granted, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. This provision is recorded as a liability. The Bank uses the same methodology as described for the allowance for loans losses, but including an estimated probability of drawdown by the borrower.
The loan portfolio under U.S. GAAP amounting to COP 75,999,091 differs from the loan portfolio under Colombian banking GAAP amounting to COP 70,528,733, which includes principal amounting to COP 69,988,679 and receivables amounting to COP 540,054, due to the consolidation of the loan portfolio of SPEs, and the reclassification of prepayments to suppliers(1) as receivables and the operating leases classified as finance leases under U.S. GAAP.
The Bank grants loans to customers in the following segments: residential mortgage, commercial, consumer, small business loans and through financial leases. A substantial portion of the Bank loan portfolio is represented by commercial loans throughout Colombia.
Loans are recorded at their principal outstanding balance less allowance for impairment and include loan origination fees and costs, and accrued interest receivables. Accrued interest unearned income is recorded as a liability.
Foreclosed assets
Under Colombian banking GAAP the SFC requires the Bank to record a provision equal to 60% for foreclosed real estate and a provision equal to 70% for other foreclosed assets of, the carrying value of the asset at the time of receipt, which must be recorded in proportional monthly installments within a two year period following foreclosure. Once the two year period has expired, the provision must be increased to 80% and 100%, respectively.
Also, it is the Bank’s policy, to increase the provision to 100% of its book value if a foreclosed asset is not sold within 5 years in the Bank’s possession.
Under U.S. GAAP, foreclosed assets are recorded as assets held for sale at the lower of the net carrying amount of the loan or fair value of the assets less its cost to sell.

Plan Assets
AnThe Bank, through its subsidiary Banistmo, has established a plan with assets to secure benefits promised by Banistmo to the employees entitled to receive the Pension Plan under the terms described above and to comply with the Panamanian labor code, which specifies the terms for securing the payments to be made in the event of an employee’s termination (voluntary or involuntary) or upon retirement (termination indemnity plan).
Banistmo’s pension and post-retirement plan assets consider investments in fixed-term deposits and cash and due from banks, in order to reduce the investment risk. The plan assets are managed by a trustee (third party), and for the Pension Plan, the assets allocation is periodically reviewed by Banistmo and, when necessary, adjusted according to the investment strategy. The plan's investment assets are measured at fair value using significant, unobservable market data and, therefore, are classified as Level 3.
The expected return on assets assumption represents the long term rate of return based on analysis of historical returns, historical asset class volatilities and the activityfund’s past experience.
The components of the periodic net cost of the plans previously mentioned and the total of charges (credits) recognized in the allowance for loans and financial lease losses under U.S. GAAP during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 isstatement of income are as follows:

In 2015, the assumption of mortality used in the preparation of the assessment of the estimated liabilities is based on tables RP-2000, CSO-80 and RV-08, which reflect average ages of mortality from 32-75 years.
The rate used to discount the obligation of the defined benefit to reflect the duration of the labor liabilities as of December 2015 corresponds to the yield of sovereign bonds of Colombia, Panama and El Salvador, as applicable, since the market transactions of these countries involving corporate bonds of high quality have no high levels of activity. The assumption of the rate of inflation is based on the long term projection of the Central Bank of Colombia, Panama and El Salvador.
The nature of the risks related to the obligations aforementioned are summarized below:
Investment risk | The present value of the obligation for the defined benefits plan is calculated using a discount rate determined with reference to high quality corporate bond yields. Currently, the plan includes investment in financial instruments that are not vulnerable to market risks. | |
Interest rate risks | A reduction of the bond interest rates will increase the obligation of the plan. | |
Longevity risk | The present value of the obligation of the defined benefit plan is calculated with reference to the highest estimate of the mortality of participants during their time of employment. An increase in the life expectancy of the participants will increase the plan obligation. | |
Salary risk | The present value of the obligation of the benefit plan is calculated with reference to the future salaries of the participants. As such, an increase in the participants' wages will increase the obligation of the plan. |
Estimated payment of future benefits
The payments of benefits, which reflect future service rendered, are considered to be paid as follows:

Sensitivity analysis
Defined Benefit Obligations (DBO) were calculated using the Projected Unit Credit method. Obligations and expenses will change in the future as a result of future changes in the methods of projection and assumption, participant information, plan provisions and regulations, or as resulting from future gains and losses.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, Bancolombia did not have any performing loans which were past-due for 90 days or more.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans where both:
a) The Bank has granted a concession to the customer for economic or legal reasons that it would not otherwise consider, and
b) The customer is in financial difficulty.
The modifications could include: term extensions, changes in the interest rate (generally a decrease on it), principal and/or interest forgiveness, capitalization of past due amounts, or combinations thereof. In a TDR a debtor usually cannot obtain funds from other sources at affordable interest rates.
Term extension
The Bank may extend the maturity date to reduce the monthly repayments where a customer’s financial distress significantly affects its ability to pay within the original terms of the contract.
Principal and/or interest forgiveness
The Bank provides assistance to help customers in order to avoid foreclosure providing forgiveness of principal balances and/or interest. Different collection strategies are applied to different classes of receivables considering the individual circumstances of each case, such us: past-due days and, collateral coverage, among others. In all cases, the maximum principal forgiveness is the difference between the outstanding record investment and the appraised value of the underlying collateral. The Bank only applies principal balance forgiveness and/or interest forgiveness to loans that are 120 days or more past-due.
Capitalization of past due amounts and changes in the interest rate
A common type of modification, that generally falls into a TDR classification, include a combination of rate reduction and/or capitalization of past due amounts. The customer’s arrears may be capitalized and added to the principal balance and the customer agrees to repay these arrears over a reasonable period.
Mortgage loans
Modifications of mortgage loans may include, but are not limited to deferment of principal. These modifications are measured as TDRs if concessions have been granted to customers experiencing financial difficulty. In any case, the amount recorded should not be greater than 100% of the appraisal at the time the concession is granted.
Commercial loans
Commercial loans represented 64.5% of the total TDRs in 2012. Modifications of commercial loans are granted to commercial customers experiencing financial difficulty, often to avoid foreclosure and bankruptcy. Modifications that result in a TDR may include term extension, changes in the interest rate, principal and/or interest forgiveness, capitalization of past due amounts and other actions considered to assist customer while the Bank mitigates its own risk exposure.
In accordance with Colombian regulatory guidance, certain private entities and territorial districts may seek private agreements enabling them to fulfill their obligations to repay debts. The Bank manages temporary forbearance programs to modify contractual amounts or terms where a customer is at risk of forebearance.
Consumer and small loans
Almost all of the credit card and other consumer loans that have been modified in TDRs involve reducing the interest rate and placing the customer on a payment plan not exceeding 60 months. Usually, modifications of vehicle loans consist entirely of term extensions, which are granted aligned with the automobile model.
For all TDRs, the credit rating shall be consistent with the customer’s current financial circumstances and ability to pay at the time the concession is granted. Any eventual improvement in a TDR rating could only be possible when the customer improves its payment behavior and timely payments take place sequentially over a period of time ranging from two to four months depending upon the customer’s credit rating at the time when the concession was granted.

Allowance for TDR loan losses
All TDRs that exceed COP 2,000 are individually assessed for impairment. TDRs that are less than the threshold are collectively evaluated for impairment.
For all segments, when a loan is designated as a TDR and it is individually assessed, the allowance is estimated based on the present value of projected future cash flows discounted at the original effective loan rate. If the carrying value of a TDR exceeds this amount, a specific allowance is recorded as a component of the allowance for loan and finance lease losses. To determine expected future cash flows, the Bank analyzes the financial situation of the debtor to calculate its ability to pay, including financial variables and its payment behavior.
TDRs are also individually assessed for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral net of estimated costs to sell in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. If the carrying value of a loan exceeds this amount, a specific allowance is recorded. Subsequent changes in economic trends and in real estate values may implicate a decline in the fair value of the collateral. As a consequence, the specific allowance is adjusted to reflect further credit risk associated to the loan.
TDRs that are less than COP 2,000 are included in homogeneous groups which are collectively evaluated for impairment. For these TDRs, loss estimation models use historical loss experienceand credit scores.
Also, the probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default models takes into account the recent experience and post-modification payment behavior with restructured loans.
The following table sets forth by segment and by class the allowance recorded for loans that were designated as TDRs during the year 2012:follows:

However, modifications of loans that are both, past due 120 or more days and are classified as TDRs, do not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan and financial lease losses. Further charge-offs of these loans are not required at the time of modification.
NOTE 20. PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENTS LIABILITIES
Purchases of financing receivables
In 2012, the Bank purchased assets from Titularizadora Colombiana for COP 137,056. which were performing loans and financial leases classified in a category A or “Normal Risk”.
Sales of financing receivables
In 2012, the Bank sold residential mortgage loans to Titularizadora Colombiana for COP 413,526. The Bank recognized a gain on sale of COP 12,479.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank recognizes commissions (origination fees) on loans, lines of credit and letters of credit when collected and records related direct costs when incurred. For U.S. GAAP, loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the life of the related loans as an adjustment of yield.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank established that commercial, consumer and small business loans that are past-due more than 30 days and residential mortgages that are past-due more than 60 days will stop accruing interest in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and their entries will be made in memorandum accounts until effective payment is collected.
Under U.S. GAAP based on general banking practices for all of our classes of financing receivables, including impaired loans, the accrual of interest income is discontinued once a loan becomes more than 90 days past-due. While the loan is on non-accrual status, interest is generally recognized as income on a cash basis, unless collection of principal is doubtful, in which case, cash collections are applied against the unpaid principal balance. A loan in non-accrual status is returned to accrual when all the past-due balance has been collected.
For Colombian banking GAAP purposes, the Bank has deferred certain pre-operating expenses, and other charges, which are expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the cost of issuance of bonds issued before 2012 are recorded by the Bank as a deferred charge and amortized on a monthly basis over a term of three years. However, since 2012 this deferred charge had been amortizedusing the straight-line method over the maturity period of issued bonds. Under U.S. GAAP, the cost of issuance of bonds must be amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective rate interest method.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with a software project are recorded by the Bank as an expense. Under U.S. GAAP the payroll-related costs are capitalized during the application development stage and amortized on a straight line since the beginning of the production stage.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank accounts for improvements on leased property in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as expenses. Under U.S. GAAP, leasehold improvements are recorded as a deferred charge and amortized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the interest costs that directly related to software development incurred during the Innova Project are recorded in the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank has capitalized interest costs that are directly related to software development. The capitalized interest is amortized over a period of 36 months, which is considered its estimated useful life, from the date when the software begins to be used in the Bank´s operations.20.1 Provisions

Fair value adjustmenton trading and available for sale investment securities
Under Colombian banking GAAP, some debt securities classified as either trading or available for sale are not recognized at fair value, but are recognized at amortized cost using a discounted cash flow methodology. Under U.S. GAAP such debt securities are also classified as either trading or available for sale and are measured at fair value.
Therefore, the Bank calculates the difference between the carrying amount of such securities under Colombian banking GAAP and the fair value under U.S. GAAP and recognizes the accumulated difference as part of the Reconciliation of Stockholders’ Equity and the difference from the period as part of the Reconciliation of Consolidated Net Income, or in Other Accumulated Comprehensive Income, for trading securities and available for sale securities, respectively.
Classification of securities as held to maturityJudicial proceedings
The classificationjudicial provisions refer to pending legal proceedings on employment matters, ordinary lawsuits, class actions suits, civil actions within criminal prosecutions and executive proceedings against the Bank. In the opinion of debt and equity securities under Colombian banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP is similar. However, if there is an exchange offer of securities issuedmanagement, after receiving pertinent legal advice, the payments that will be made by these processes will not generate significant losses in addition to the Colombian government, sales or exchanges of such securities are allowed under Colombian banking GAAP regardless of being initially classified as held to maturity. Consequently under U.S. GAAP, as the Bank does not have a definitive intent to hold those securities to maturity, they are reclassified as available for sale securities.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on securities available for sale
Under Colombian banking GAAP, changes in the fair value as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on available for sale debt securities are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under U.S. GAAP, those changes are reflected in other comprehensive income (OCI).
Impairment of investments
For both Colombian and U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank conducts regular reviews to assess whether the recognition of an impairment loss is required.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank reviews the ratings issued by international rating agencies, and if any security in its portfolio has been classified below B, the Bank applies “the maximum registered amount” methodology established by the SFC, as follows:
If the carrying amount is higher than the maximum registered amount (calculated as the product of the security’s face value net of amortization multiplied by the corresponding percentage rate), an impairment loss equivalent to such difference isprovisions recognized immediately in the Statement of Operations.
As an example, for a Eurobond issued by the government of El Salvador with a face value of USD 100,000, a credit rating of BB as of December 31, 20122015. The Bank does not expect to obtain any kind of reimbursement from judicial proceedings raised against it and, a carrying amount (fair value) of USD 140,000, an impairment loss of USD 50,000 would betherefore, has not recognized under Colombian banking GAAP [140,000 – (100,000 x 90%)].any assets for that purpose.
As a consequence of this procedure, under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank has recognized valuation allowance for debt securities amounting to COP 14,159 and COP 16,854, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Changes in valuation allowances for debt securities are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as incurred.F-98
Under U.S. GAAP, we would not recognize any impairment as the fair value is higher than the amortized cost. Consequently, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has reversed allowances amounting to COP 11,148 and COP 9,896 respectively.
During 2012, under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank has reversed COP 1,253 of valuation allowances. For U.S. GAAP purposes, valuation allowances are not allowed to be reversed.
Under U.S. GAAP, an available for sale or held to maturity security is impaired if the fair value is below its cost and it will be recognized in the Statement of Operations if it is considered to be an Other Than Temporary Impairment (“OTTI”).
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank considers a number of factors in performing an impairment analysis of securities. Those factors include:
a. the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been less than cost;
b. the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer (such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investment, or the discontinuance of a segment of a business that may affect the future earnings potential); and
c. the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time that allows for any anticipated recovery in market value. The Bank evaluates the intention to sell an impaired debt security and the likelihood that it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost.Administrative proceedings
The Bank also takes into account changes in global and regional economic conditions and changesconstituted provisions correspond to proceedings related to specific issuers or industries that could adversely affect these values.
For debt securities, when the Bank intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is deemed to have occurred. In these instances, the OTTI loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.
Otherwise, when the Bank does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Bank determines whether it will recover its amortized cost basis. If it concludes it will not, a credit loss exists and the resulting OTTI is separated into the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI). The total OTTI (difference between the fair value and the amortized cost of the debt security) is presented in the Statement of Operations with an offset in a separate line item for any amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in OCI.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank determined that the impairment recognized under Colombian banking GAAP for debt securities rated as B or higher was not other than temporary.
The substantial majority of the investments in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more are primarily mandatory securities issued or secured by the Colombian Government, denominated in pesos and Unidad de Valor Real (the “Real Value Unit” or “UVR”). These securities were issued with a fixed interest rate and average maturity of less than eight years. The Bank has determined that most of the unrealized losses on investments at December 31, 2012 are temporary in nature because it does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the debt security before the recovery of its amortized cost and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. The Bank has the ability and intent to hold these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all gross unrealized losses.
For certain mortgage backed securities (“TIPS”) in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months, the Bank has recognized other-than temporary impairment amounting to COP 6,115. The recognition of OTTI is based on a range of factors, including the credit ratings of the issuer and specific events such as the estimated prepayment speed and default rate of the underlying assets that collateralize the debt security. During 2012, OTTI recognized for corporate debt securities amounted to COP 247. Based on the same factors described above,tax for the years ending at December 31, 20112006 and 2010, the Bank has recognized OTTI under U.S. GAAP amounted to COP 6,357 and COP 10,358.
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 423 and 584 investment securities presented gross unrealized losses, respectively.
Fair value adjustment on derivatives instruments
Fair value measurement of derivative instruments under Colombian banking GAAP is similar to U.S. GAAP, except that under Colombian banking GAAP performance risk is not considered in the determination of the fair value. Likewise, the day one fair value of a swap instrument under Colombian banking GAAP is deferred and amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the instrument. Under U.S. GAAP, all the changes in the fair value of trading derivatives are recognized in the Statement of Operations. Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset2008, and the Bank’s credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability.
Consolidation of VIEs
In 2008, the Bank and Suramericana Group, created Fondo de Capital Privado Colombia Inmobiliaria (the “Fund”), with the purpose of investing in real estate property. As a result, during the years 2008 and 2009 Suramericana Group transferred to the Fund real estate property amounting COP 36,840.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the interests in participations of funds are classified as trading or available for sale equity securities. Interest in the funds in the amount of COP 268,701 and COP 242,138 were classified as trading as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Furthermore, under Colombian banking GAAP there is no specific guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities and therefore, the consolidation analysis is based solely on the voting rights concept, under which the condition for a controlling financial interest, is ownership of over 50% of the outstanding voting shares.
During 2009, the Bank ceased consolidating the Fund under Colombian banking GAAP due to the entrance of other investors that decreased the Bank’s voting shares in the Fund below 50%.
Under U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has identified the Fund as a variable interest entity because the only holder of equity investment at risk lacks the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions about the Fund's activities that have a significant effect on the success of the Fund. The Bank is identified as the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the Fund that most significantly impact the Fund’s economic performance and receive benefits or absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For this reason, assets of the Fund, as well as its liabilities and results of operations were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Bank as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Bank recognizes a non-controlling interest in the amount of COP 132,413 and COP 136,920 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The table below presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Fund under U.S. GAAP consolidated by the Bank as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Under Colombian banking GAAP, stock dividends are recorded as income; under U.S. GAAP, dividends received in the form of additional shares of common stock are not recorded as income. Instead, the costs of the shares previously held are allocated equitably to the total shares held after receipt of the stock dividend. When any shares are later disposed of, a gain or loss is determined on the basis of the adjusted cost per share.
During the year ended December 31, 2012 stock dividends received amounted to COP 7,045, and consequently the Bank’s results of operations under U.S. GAAP have been affected by this amount. The stockholder’s equity adjustment under U.S. GAAP was COP (25,054) and COP (18,009) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, investments in affiliates where the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence are recorded at cost and classified as available for sale.
The difference between the cost and equity participation is recorded as reappraisal of assets in assets and stockholders’ equity. This reappraisal is reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.
Under U.S. GAAP, investments where the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence are recorded using the equity method. The following table sets forth the adjustment recognized under U.S. GAAP due to the application of the equity methodtax for the year ended December 31:2011. Most of the subsidiaries with these types of provisions settled them during the year 2015.

Certain of the Bank’s subsidiaries lease assets to third parties under non-cancelable lease arrangements. These lease arrangements involve machinery and equipment, computer equipment, automobile and furniture and fixtures and their terms range between three and five years.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, for financial entities, leases are classified as either financial leases or operating leases, according to the terms of the lease agreements. Assets provided through leases to third parties with a purchase option are recorded in the loan portfolio. Assets provided through operating leases are recorded as property, plant and equipment. For both types of leases, their initial measurement represents the value to be financed of the assets to be leased (that is, the acquisition or construction cost). A leasehold improvement is capitalized when it represents a permanent improvement or betterment that increases the usefulness of the leased asset, and represents a greater value of the lease operation.
Under U.S. GAAP, from the lessor’s perspective, leases are classified as direct financing leases, sales-type leases, operating leases or leverage leases. Leases are classified as direct financing leases if certain criteria are met in the lease contract; otherwise they are classified as operating leases. The net investments in direct financing leases represent the present value of the minimum lease payments plus the unguaranteed residual value.
The adjustment under U.S. GAAP is related to certain leases signed by the Bank’s subsidiaries Renting Colombia and Leasing Bancolombia that are classified as operating leases under Colombian banking GAAP, but met the criteria to be classified as direct financing leases under U.S. GAAP.
The following lists the components of the net investment in direct financial leases under U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

m) Business combinations
m.i) Purchase method of accounting
With regard to a business combination, the purchase method of accounting under Colombian banking GAAP requires that (i) the purchase price be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of their book value, (ii) the statement of income of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs include the income of the acquired company as if the acquisition had occurred on the first day of the reporting period and (iii) the costs directly related to the purchase business combination not be considered as a cost of the acquisition, but deferred and amortized over a reasonable period as determined by management.
The Banagrícola S.A. acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method under Colombian banking GAAP, in accordance with the methodology suggested by the SFC.
In regard to a business combination, the purchase method of accounting under U.S. GAAP requires that (i) the purchase price be allocated to the identifiable acquired assets and liabilities on the basis of fair market value, (ii) the statement of operations of the acquiring company for the period in which a business combination occurs include the income of the acquired company after the date of acquisition (iii) the acquirer accounts for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, with one exception: the costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP.
m.ii) Goodwill
Under Colombian banking GAAP, goodwill derived from business combinations effective before October 2006, is amortized over a maximum period of ten years. For business combinations that occurred after October 2006, the resulting goodwill is amortized over a term of twenty (20) years, unless the entity voluntarily selects a shorter period of amortization using an exponential method. Under this method the charge for amortization is increased exponentially every year. However, the Bank, since January, 2008, has used the straight-line method to amortize goodwill, since the Bank considers this method provides a better association between the revenues and expenses corresponding to this investment.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, in the case of goodwill acquired by the Bank and its subsidiaries before the date when the new regulation came into full force in year 2007, the amortization term was maintained from three to ten years for goodwill recorded in the subsidiaries Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banagrícola S.A., as permitted by the SFC at the acquisition date.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank does not amortize goodwill, but it is subject to an annual impairment test.
The goodwill impairment analysis is done in two steps. The first step requires a comparison of the fair value of the individual reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the related goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no further analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and a second step of testing is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any, for that reporting unit.
When required, the second step of testing involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill for each of the affected reporting units. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit determined in step one over the fair value of the net assets and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit were being acquired. If the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill in thepro forma purchase price allocation, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment charge recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit and cannot be reversed subsequently even if the fair value of the reporting unit recovers.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank annually has performed the required impairment test of each reporting segment’s goodwill. For December 31, 2012 and 2011, no impairment was recognized against goodwill. During 2009, the Bank concluded that there was an impairment of Factoring Bancolombia’s goodwill and recorded an impairtment charge for the excess over the fair value amounting to COP 7,787.
The changes in Goodwill by segment during 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Under Colombian banking GAAP, the aggregate purchase was accounted for as goodwill by Leasing Bancolombia. Under U.S. GAAP, a subsequent adjustment by changes in the non-controlling interests’ share must be accounted for in equity.
m.iii) Intangible Assets
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the purchase method of accounting allocates to goodwill all of the excess value of intangible and tangible assets paid derived from business combinations. Under U.S. GAAP fair values are assigned to acquired intangible assets, such as registered brands, deposits, customer relationship and others.
The activity of the Bank’s intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

m.iv) Fair value of assets and liabilities acquired
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the purchase method of accounting allocates to goodwill all of the excesses value of intangible and tangible assets paid derived from business combinations. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the primary financial statements allocate the fair value adjustments to each of the respective assets and liabilities. Currently, the Bank recognizes adjustments to the stockholders’ equity related to business combination due to fair value acquisition date differences in fixed and foreclosed assets, time deposits, long-term debt, loans and securitization of non-performing loans. Under U.S. GAAP, the amortizations of the premiums or discounts on acquisition are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
The following tables identify and quantify each adjustment to both the net income and stockholders’ equity:

Transfers of financial assets
The Bank securitizes performing and non-performing mortgage loans using different securitization vehicles.
The Bank transfers performing and non-performing mortgages to Special Purpose Entities (SPE) which are not related parties. The SPEs issue notes (debt securities) and use the proceeds to buy residential mortgages portfolios from Bancolombia and other Colombian banks. In a securitization, various classes of debt securities may be issued and are generally collateralized by the transferor.
The securitized loans may be serviced by the Bank or by third parties. The Bank may also retain an interest in the form of the securities acquired from the SPE and fees for servicing the loans.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the securitization of performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans is recorded as sales of financial assets and therefore, securitized loans have been removed from the Bank’s balance sheet. Additionally, the Bank recognizes in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the moment of the operation the difference between the book value of the securitized portfolio and the proceeds received as gains or losses.
Under U.S. GAAP when an entity transfers financial assets, it must assess first whether the transferee should be consolidated. The party that has the power to direct the activities of a VIE, that most significantly impacts the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE (that could potentially be significant to the VIE) or the right to receive benefits from the VIE (that could potentially be significant to the VIE), is considered the primary beneficiary and therefore should consolidate the VIE.
For transfers of financial assets, the Bank first assesses the consolidation principle and for those financial assets where the Bank is not the primary beneficiary, the sale accounting under U.S. GAAP is further assessed. If considered a sale, the transferred assets are removed from the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet with a recognized gain or loss. If not a sale, the transfer is considered a secured borrowing, resulting in the recognition of a liability in the consolidated balance sheet.
The table below presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of the securitization vehicles which have been consolidated on the Bank’s balance sheet under U.S. GAAP at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Total liabilities | COP | 788,085 | COP | 1,637,072 |
(1) The VIEs assets are only used to settle obligations of the VIE.
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is calculated based on criteria described in e) “Allowance for loan losses, financial leases, foreclosed assets and other receivables”.
The Bank did not provide any additional financial support to these VIEs or others during 2012. Further, the Bank does not have any contractual commitments or obligations to provide additional financial support to these VIEs or others. The investors in debt securities issued by the securitization entities have no recourse to other assets of the Bank.
The Bank received servicing fees from Titularizadora Colombiana S.A. (structuring) of COP 27,231 and COP 28,787 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Bank believes that the fees reflect adequate compensation for services and are priced based on market value.
Cash flows received from securitization entities subject to consolidation for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to COP 0 and COP 898, respectively.
The securitization transactions are a source of funding for the Bank. The securitization of performing loans transfers the risks of the loan portfolio to the holders of the debt securities issued by the securitization entities.
Securitizations of Non-performing Loans
The Bank retains all the risks of the securitized non-performing loans portfolio. In the event of default of the borrower of the loan, the Bank is required to contribute other loans or cash to the securitization entity in order to ensure the debt securities issued are being paid. Those securitization transactions are consolidated under U.S. GAAP.
Retained Interests in the unconsolidated Securitization vehicles
Under Colombian banking GAAP, any residual beneficial interest retained by the Bank in a securitization process must be recorded as a held to maturity investment in an amount equal to the value established for the beneficial interest in the balance sheet of the special purpose entity created for such purpose.
Under U.S. GAAP, retained interests in the securitization vehicles that are not subject to consolidation as of December 31, 2012, as the Bank was not considered to be the primary beneficiary, should be recognized and recorded at fair value, as available-for-sale or trading securities. To determine the fair values of these securities, the Bank discounted the estimated future cash flows of these securities.
For securities classified as available for sale, unrealized gains or losses over the amortized cost basis are charged to the reconciliation of Stockholders’ Equity through Other Comprehensive Income, unless unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary, in which case they are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Securities held for the purpose of selling them in the short term are classified as “trading” and are reported at fair value, with gains and losses included in the statements of operations.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, the amortized cost, unrealized gain/loss and fair value of retained interests in VIEs not subject to consolidation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:
Balance Sheet | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
Available for Sale Securities | ||||||||
Amortized Cost | COP | 615,398 | COP | 509,963 | ||||

Fair Value | 600,241 | 492,353 | ||||||
Trading Securities | ||||||||
Fair Value(1) | COP | 5,350 | COP | 11,418 |
The maximum exposure to loss in those VIEs includes the amount invested in, and advanced to, each VIE as of the reporting date plus any legal or contractual obligations to provide financing in the future. The Bank has neither legal or contractual obligations to provide financing in the future to the VIEs where it holds a variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary, therefore its maximum exposure to loss equals the carrying amounts of the variable interests recognized in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
For U.S. GAAP purposes, cash flows and proceeds received from SPEs qualifying for sale treatment but not subject to consolidation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Cash Flows | COP | (8,732 | ) | COP | (6,622 | ) | ||

Under Colombian banking GAAP, for consolidation purposes, the income accounts of foreign currency financial statements, are converted to pesos using average exchange rates. The exchange difference originated in the consolidated statement of operations accounts is recorded as foreign exchange gain loss in the statement of operations.
Under U.S. GAAP, the translation adjustments shall be reported as a component of the reconciliation of stockholders’ equity, in other comprehensive income.
The non-controlling interest corresponds to the proportional adjustments to the stockholders’ equity and net income originated by the subsidiaries where the Bank holds less than 100% of participation.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the non-controlling interest is presented as minority interest outside stockholders’ equity. For U.S. GAAP purposes, the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries must be classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, consolidated net income and comprehensive income are reported with separate disclosure of the amounts attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest.
The following table provides details regarding the differences in non-controlling interests between Colombian banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP:

In November 2011,after obtaining all authorizations required by the regulators in Colombia and El Salvador, Banagrícola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banco Agrícola S.A., subsidiaries of Bancolombia S.A., sold to Protección S.A. Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones y Cesantias (“Protección S.A.”), 99.99% of its shares of capital stock of AFP Crecer, an administrator of pension funds in the Republic of El Salvador.
On January 29, 2010, Bancolombia sold to Inversiones EGEO I S.A.S 98.25% of its direct interest held through Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. in Inversiones Valores y Logística S.A. The Bank registered a gain on the sale of this investment of COP 27,995 in 2010.
Under U.S. GAAP, the results of operations of a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, shall be reported in discontinued operations if both of the following conditions are met:
a. The operations and cash flows of the component have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction.
b. The entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

In order to meet the needs of its customers, the Bank issues financial standby letters of credit and bank guarantees. These are commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are mainly issued to guarantee agreements established between parties from the energy sector, private sector and public procurement contracts.
Under U.S. GAAP, the Bank recognizes the premium received or receivable as a liability which presents the fair value of the obligations assumed at its inception. Such liabilities are being amortized over the expected terms of the related guarantees.
In addition, for U.S. GAAP purposes, the Bank maintains a provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit instruments. Off–balance sheet credit instruments include commitments to extend credit, guarantees granted, standby letters of credit and other financial instruments. The Bank uses the same methodology as described for the allowance for loans in note 31 (e), adjusted by an estimated probabilityexpects most of drawdown by the borrower. This provision is recorded as a liability.
The table below provides details regarding the differences between Colombian banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP with respectthose guarantees provided to the accounting for off-balance sheet credit instruments:

Under U.S.GAAP,Constitutional public interest action claim by José Reinaldo Bolaños:
The plaintiffs argue that several financial entities, including the Bank amongst them, have illegally charged undue amounts through illegal capitalization of interest in connection with the public debt restructuring agreements signed with the municipality of Santiago de Cali, in accordance with the fiscal and financial relief law.
The plaintiffs allege that the financial institutions involved breached the law regarding interest charging to clients, and in addition, breached the collective rights to public administration’s morality and protection of the municipality of Santiago de Cali's public funds. The plaintiffs seek for reimbursement of those amounts charged in excess. As of December 31, 2015, discovery was closed and closing arguments were presented.
Inversiones C.B. S.A.:
In 1997, Conavi (currently, Bancolombia), granted a 6,000 credit facility to Inversiones C.B.S.A. for a real estate construction project. The credit agreement provided for multiple disbursements subject to advances in the construction of the project, among other requirements. Due to an interruption of the construction of the project and a default by the builder, Conavi suspended the disbursements, which in the plaintiff's opinion was a breach of contract that caused him consequential damages. The claim filed by the plaintiff seeks to require the Bank to pay payment actual and expected damages, including loss of profits plus the corresponding interests, the opportunity cost of capital, the value of the project´s liabilities, as well as the effects of inflation.
This contingency is remote, as the Bank disbursed the funds according to the terms and conditions agreed upon. The Bank argues that the main reasons for the project's failure were liability ascribed to the plaintiff because of an inadequate use of profits and other external causes, such as the project’s lack of feasibility and the prevailing crisis within the construction sector.
In August, 2010, the court issued a decision in first instance in favor of the Bank, which was later appealed by the plaintiff.
In 2014, the appeal court issued a decision, again, in favor of the Bank. As of December 31, 2014, the case was appealed before the Supreme Court (petitioned by Inversiones CB), which was admitted and the plaintiff had to argue its claim before the Court on January 26, 2015.
In May 29, 2015, the Supreme Court did not admit the appeal considering that the claim did not comply with the plenitude of the conditions. In June 2015, the claim was sent to the court of origin as consequence of the plaintiff's failure to appeal the decision of rejection, whereby the second instance verdict in favor of the Bank remained final.
However, the plaintiff presented a letter (“Unconstitutionality Exception”) before the Supreme Court, alleging its disagreement with the rejection of the appeal. The complaint lacks of any legal basis; therefore, there has not been any response or proceeding.
Constitutional public interest action claim by Carlos Julio Aguilar and others:
This constitutional public interest action was filed by the plaintiff arguing that the restructuring of financial obligations by Departamento del Valle and the performance plan executed, allegedly violates the collective rights to public administration’s morality and the protection of the public funds of Departamento del Valle.
As of December 31, 2014, the proceeding is pending by the rendering of an expert´s opinion concerning the amount of interest charged to Departamento del Valle by the different financial institutions acting as defendants. This process merged to the constitutional public interest action filed by Carlos Aponte, and it is preliminary stages.
Suescun & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda.
The law firm Suescún & de Brigard Abogados Consultores Ltda., who represented Bancolombia in an arbitration process, filed a suit against the Bank alleging that the settlement agreement reached between the parties to the arbitration proceeding entitled the firm to receive the success fee initially agreed between the Bank and the law firm. As of December 31, 2015, first and second instance verdict were issued in favor of the Bank and the proceeding is pending of an appeal action before the Supreme Court.

The plaintiff seeks the reverse of a payment made to Bancolombia in an amount of COP 71,503, (made to cancel an obligation of Interbolsa S.A.) and its reinstatement in the company’s assets (which is now in judicial liquidation).
As of December 31, 2015, the proceeding has a first instance verdict in favor of the Bank, which was appeal by the plaintiff.
Recalling Action (Acción Revocatoria) filed by Interbolsa S.A., Comisionista de Bolsa in Compulsory Administrative liquidation, against Bancolombia S.A.
The plaintiff seeks reimbursement to Interbolsa´s assets of the amount paid by Interbolsa (for COP 14,000) due to an obligation on behalf of the Bank. In March 2015, the Bank submitted the statement of defense and it is pending of the public audience stage and further development of the proceeding.

Therefore, pursuant to the Business Establishments Affiliate Agreement, HSBC held from Promotara Terramar´s accounts USD 286,000; nevertheless, before further investigations the money was refunded. The plaintiff claims a compensation payment of over USD 5,000. As of December 31, 2015, Banistmo had submitted the statement of defense.

The Bank invests in asset-backed securities issued by securitization entities for which underlying assets are mortgages granted by financial institutions. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to sub-prime securities. The asset-backed securities are denominated in local market TIPS and accounted for as investment at fair value through profit or loss. These asset-backed securities have different maturities and are generally classified by credit ratings. Also, the Bank retains beneficial interests in the form of servicing fees on the securitized receivable.
Revenues generated by the Bank’s asset management business, come from a variety of funds that the Bank manages and distributes. These funds are divided into real estate development – related trusts, mutual funds sold to individuals, corporate trusts, escrow accounts, private equity funds, and delegated tailor-made mandates from third parties. Generally, the revenues correspond to the fees received from the management of resources that are invested in several instruments, and management of properties and premises related to real estate projects in progress.
Likewise, fees from management of resources pledged by clients in order to guarantee commitments and obligations with third parties, as well as fees from management of resources of government agencies and entities.
On the other hand, there is not an additional exposure to loss, such as funding commitments with regards to the Bank’s involvement with those entities.

NOTE 26. EARNING PER SHARE (‘EPS’)
Basic EPS is calculated by reducing the income from continuing operations by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period, considering the allocation of remaining earnings to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. EPS is determined by dividing the total earnings allocated to each security by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Bank has no dilutive potential common shares as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 27. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
FRAMEWORK UNDER IFRS.
IAS 24Related Party Disclosures requires that an entity discloses:
(a) Transactions with its related parties; and
(b) Relationships between a parent and its subsidiaries irrespective of whether there have been transactions between them.
Under IAS 24, an entity must disclose transactions with its related parties, outstanding balances, including commitments, recognized in the consolidated and separate financial statements of a parent or investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an investee presented in accordance with IFRS 10.

Under U.S. GAAP, reserves for individual and group life insurance are computed on the basis of interest rates and mortality tables, including a margin for adverse deviations. For the year 2011, the reserve discount rate was 4.5%, based on the Bank’s own profitability experience.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, there are not reserves for adverse deviations.
On September 27, 2012, Banagricola S.A. and Inversiones Financieras Banco Agrícola S.A., subsidiaries of Bancolombia S.A., sold to Suramericana 97.03% of its shares of capital stock of Aseguradora Suiza SalvadoreñIFRS 13 establishes a an insurance subsidiary in the Republic of El Salvador. See note 1, “Organization and background”. Therefore, any reconciling adjustment would be no longer necessary.
Fair value of financial instruments
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair-value measurements.
The framework for measuring fair value under Colombian banking GAAP is substantially consistent with U.S. GAAP, except for considerations about own credit risk, counterparty risk and valuation of collateral.
Fair-Value Hierarchy
U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.unobservable, that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process. In accordance with IFRS the financial instruments are classified as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Bank’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1- Quotedquoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assetsAn active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability being measured take place with sufficient frequency and liabilities include debt, futures, and equity securities that are traded involume to provide pricing information on an active exchange market.ongoing basis.
Level 2- Observable inputs2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 prices, such asthat are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 generally includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes certain bonds issued by a government or its entities, corporate debt securities and derivative contracts.liability.
Level 3-3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain retained residual interests in securitizations, asset-backed securities (ABS) and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts where independent pricing information was not able to be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.
The Bank considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask spread and the amount of adjustment necessary when comparing similar transactions are all factors in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices in those markets.
· Valuation process for fair value measurements
As was mentioned above, the valuation to fair value measurements
For derivatives instruments, the Capital Market’s Risk Directorprices is in charge of designing the valuationperformed using prices, methodologies which must be approvedand inputs provided by the Board of Directors, before they are sentOfficial Price Supplier (Infovalmer) to the SFC in order to obtain a non-objection notice.
For debt securities, valuation techniques are based on quoted market pricesBank. All methodologies and models that project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs values given by price providers, which are authorizedprocedures developed by the SFC, and whose valuation methodologiesprice supplier are previously approvedknown by the SFC.Financial Superintendence of Colombia, which has not objected to them.
On a daily basis, the Financial Operations Direction verifies the valuation of investments, and, the Proprietary Trading Desk’s Risk Management area reports the results of the portfolio’s valuation. On a quarterly basis, the investment and derivative portfolios are measured under US GAAP and, if necessary, adjustments are made to the valuation methodologies.
Regarding the market inputs provided by price providers, an opposition proceeding may be initiated against such valuations by any market agent (financial institutions, pension funds, among others) who disagrees with the price, margin, or rate; as a consequence of such proceeding the market data services company must review the data provided.
For assets and liabilities carried at fairFair value the Bank measures such value using the procedures set out below. The Bank did not choose to utilize the fair value option to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value based on an elective basis.measurement
When available, the Bank generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. The Bank will make use of acceptable practical expedients (mid-market pricing or other pricing conventions) to calculate fair value.
Where available, the Bank may also make use of quoted prices for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The frequency and size of transactions and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices from those markets. If relevant and observable prices are available, those valuations would be classified as Level 2.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, pricing models and similar methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, option volatilities, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 2 or 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
Fair-value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified, where possible, to prices obtained from independent price providers or non-bidding brokers. Price providers and non-bidding brokers’ valuations may be based on a variety of inputs ranging from observed prices to proprietary valuation models.When price providers’ services are used, the methods and assumptions used are reviewed by the Bank to support the completeness and accuracy of the prices received, using a combination of control processes, including evidence of observability and assessment of the price provider’s internal controls, obtaining evidence from independent accountants which have examined the maintenance of effective controls to assurance that its valuation system is protected against unauthorized access and the system is available for operation and use as committed. Also, where appropriate, management applies valuation adjustments to the pricing information from the sources.
The estimated fair value based upon internally developed valuation techniques could vary if other valuation methods or assumptions were used. The Bank believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants. Nevertheless, the use of different valuation methods or assumptions, including imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different estimates of fair value at the reporting date and the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular instrument. Most of the valuation models are not significantly subjective, because they can be tested and, if necessary, recalibrated by the internal calculation of and subsequent comparison to market prices of actively traded securities, where available.
Financial instruments that are classified as trading, or available for sale, and all derivatives, are stated at fair value. The fair value of such financial instruments is the estimated amount at which an asset could be sold or a liability transferred in a current transaction between willing parties in an orderly transaction.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Bank, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.
Investment securities
Debt securities: |
When available,The Bank assigns price to those debt investments, using the Bank uses quoted market prices provided by the Official Price Supplier (Infovalmer) and assigns the appropriate level according to determine the procedure described above. (Hierarchy of fair value and such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For securities not traded or over-the-counter, the Bank generally determines fair value utilizing internal valuation and standard techniques. These techniques include determination of expected future cash flows which are discounted using curves of the applicable currencies and interest, modified by the credit risk. The interest and foreign exchange curves are generally observable market data and reference yield and exchange curves derived from quoted interest and exchange rates in appropriate time bandings, which match the timings of the cash flows and maturities of the instruments. Fair-value estimates from internal valuation techniques are verified and tested by independent personnel.
Price providers compile prices from various sources and may apply matrix pricing for similar securities where no price is observable. If available, the Bank may also use quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the security. The securities priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2. However, when less liquidity exists for a security, a quoted price is stale or prices from independent sources vary, a security is generally classified as Level 3.section).
Equity securities |
When available,The Bank performs the market Price valuation of their investments in variable income using the prices provided by the Official Price Supplier (Infovalmer) and classifies those investments according to the procedure described above. (Hierarchy of fair value section).
c. | Derivatives |
The Bank holds positions in standardized derivatives, such as Futures over local stocks, over specific TES references and over the TRM. These instruments are valuated according to the information provided by Infovalmer, which perfectly matches the information provided by the Clearing and Settlement House.

Additionally, the Bank uses quoted marketholds positions in OTC derivatives, which in the absence of prices, to determineare valuated using the fair valueinputs and such items are classified in Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and in trading or investment category.
Derivatives
Derivatives entered intomethodologies provided by the Bank are future contracts tradedPrice Supplier, to which has not objected the Colombian stock exchange and derivatives executed over-the-counter and so are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation techniques and inputs depend on the typeFinancial Superintendence of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. For over-the-counter derivatives those trades in liquid markets are valued using industry standard valuation models. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies. In addition, these estimates consider assumptions for our own credit risk and the respective counterparty credit risk, as further discussed below.Colombia.
The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, the spot price of the underlying volatility, credit curves and correlation of such inputs. The item is placed in Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and items with longer tenors are generally less observable.
When appropriate, valuations are adjusted for various factors such as liquidity, bid/offer spreads and credit considerations.
Credit Valuation Adjustment
d. | Credit valuation adjustment |
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the measurement of the fair value of derivatives does not include a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). Under U.S. GAAP, theThe Bank measures the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the swap, option and forward derivatives.To see the total adjustment, please see i) investment securities and derivatives.
Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset and the Bank’s own credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability. The Bank attempts to mitigate credit risk to third parties which are international banks by entering into master netting agreements.
When assessing the impact of credit exposure, only the net counterparty exposure is considered at risk, due to the offsetting of certain same-counterparty positions and the application of cash and other collateral.
The Bank generally calculates the asset’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with international financial institutions by incorporating indicative credit related pricing that is generally observable in the market (“CDS”). The credit-risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with non-public counterparties is calculated by incorporating unobservable credit data derived from internal credit qualifications to the financial institutions and corporate companies located in Colombia. The Bank also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if the Bank believes market participants would take that into account when transacting the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bank’s credit risk on an instrument transacted with international financial institutions is done using the Asset Swap Curve calculated for subordinated bonds issued by the Bank in foreign currency. For derivatives transacted with local financial institutions, the Bank calculates the credit risk adjustment by incorporating credit data derived qualifications released in the Colombian financial market.
A hundred basis point and two hundred basis point increase in our own credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in a decrease of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 1,262 and COP 2,541, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in our own credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.
e. | Impaired loans measured at fair value |
A hundred basis point and two hundred basis point increase in the counterparty credit spreads when determining the credit valuation adjustment of our derivative portfolio, could result in an increase of the associated adjustment of approximately COP 6,875 and COP 13,440, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of the changes in the counterparties credit risk, but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the fair value of our derivative portfolio to changes in credit spreads.
Impaired loans measured at fair value
The Bank measured certain impaired loans based on the fair value of the associated collateral less costs to sell. The fair values were determined as follows using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset:
For vehicles under leasing arrangements, the Bank uses an internal valuation model based on price curves for each type of vehicle. Such curves show the expected price of the vehicle at different points in time based on the initial price and projection of economic variables such as inflation, devaluation and customs. The prices modelled in the curves are compared every six months with market information for the same or similar vehicles and in the case of significant deviationdeviation; the curve is adjusted to reflect the market conditions.
Other vehicles are measured using matrix pricing from a third party. This matrix is used by most of the market participants and is updated monthly. The matrix is built from values provided by several price providers for identical or similar vehicles and considers brand, characteristics of the vehicles, and manufacturing date among other variables to determine the prices.
For real estate properties, a third-party qualified appraiser is used. The methodologies vary depending on the date of the last appraisal available for the property (The appraisal is estimated based on either of three approaches: cost, sale comparison and income approach, and is requested every three years)approach). When the property has been valued in the last 12 months and the market conditions have not shown significant changes, the most recent valuation is considered the fair value of the property. For all the other cases (i.e. appraisals older that 12 months) the value of the property is updated adjusting the value in the last appraisal by weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, physical conditions and expected selling costs, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate experts.
f. | Impaired foreclosed assets and premises and equipment held for sale measured at fair value |
Impaired foreclosed assets and premises and equipment held for sale measured at fair value
The Bank measured certain impaired foreclosed assets and premises and equipment held for sale based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair values were determined using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset, as follows:
For real estate properties the appraisal is conducted by experts considering factors such as the location, type and characteristics of the property, size, physical conditions and expected selling costs, among others.
Premises and equipment held for sale include investment securities in externally managed funds that are valued using recent prices where available. Where not available, the fair value of investments in externally managed funds is generally determined using financial statements or other information provided by the fund managers.
g. | Mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”) |
Mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”)
The Bank invests in asset-backed securities for which underlying assets are mortgages issued by financial institutions. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to sub-prime securities. The asset-backed securities are denominated in local market TIPS and can beare classified either as tradingfair value through profit or available for sale.loss. These asset-backed securities have different maturities and are generally classified by credit ratings. The Bank does not expect significant changes in those ratings.
Fair values were estimated using discounted cash flows models where the main key economic assumptions used are estimates of prepayment rates and resultant weighted average lives of the securitized mortgage portfolio, probability of default and interest rate curves. These items are classified as Level 2 and 3.

Level 3 Fair Value Rollforward
The following were the significant Level 3 transfers for the period December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012:
The transfer for COP 212,419 on investments securities from Level 2 to Level 3, is primarily linked to Securities issued or secured by the Colombian government (known asTítulos de Reducción de Deuda – TRDs), for which its market liquidity has decreased, due to the proximity of its maturity date and the fact that no additional issuances have been placed in the market since 2006.
Transferstatement of COP 35,777 of mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”) in Investments securities from Level 3 to Level 2 consisting mainly of securities denominated in UVR which were issued in December 2010. During 2011, these securities had limited trading activity and were previously classified as Level 3. As trading activity in these securities increased and pricing became observable, these positions were transferred to Level 2.
Transfers of COP 10,785 of Investment securities issued or secured by other financial entities includes COP 6,965 of bonds issued by other Colombian financial institutions transferred from Level 2 to Level 3, primarily due to a decrease in observability of prices. Transfers of COP 3,820 of bonds secured by multilateral financial corporations from Level 2 to Level 3 due mainly to a lack of liquidity, and were priced using a discounted cash flow model.
The following were the significant Level 3 transfers for the period December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011:
The transfer of COP 81,886 on derivatives from level 3 to level 2 during 2011 is primarily linked to the change in the credit valuation adjustments for several of our international derivative counterparties during 2011.
All transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.

The Bank classifies a financial instrument within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when at least one input used in the assessment is unobservable and is considered significant to its valuation. For example, adjusted yield is generally used to discount future principal and cash flows on instruments not traded or traded over the counter, because the adjusted yield must be estimated from historical data or from yields of similar securities and impacted by liquidity risk premium.
The Bank uses market comparables and discounted cash flow together to assess the fair value of certain of its Level 3 financial instruments. Using an internally developed valuation technique the Bank incorporates current market interest rates based on recent transactions for similar instruments and includes a liquidity risk premium.
In the table above, mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”) include only bonds secured by performing securitizations which qualified for derecognition and the related VIE is not consolidated by the Bank. Under U.S. GAAP, using the discounted cash flow methodology is an acceptable valuation approach, when a quoted price is not readily available in the market, the Bank assesses the fair value using an internally developed valuation technique which includes a liquidity risk premium and an adjustment for credit risk based on spreads for TIPS with similar credit risk and similar underlying exposure.
Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the Fair Value Hierarchy
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank transferred securities amounting to COP 68,979 related to corporate debt securities and amounting to COP 24,467 linked to bonds issued by multilateral entities from Level 1 to Level 2, because these securities were not traded with enough frequency to comprise an active market.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank transferred securities amounting to COP 17,378 related to debt securities issued by other Colombian financial entities and amounting to COP 4,456 linked to corporate debt securities from Level 2 to Level 1 primarily, because such securities were traded more frequently to comprise an active market. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Bank has not transferred derivatives from Level 1 to Level 2, or vice versa.

2. Fair value disclosuresGroup are not published by the Group’s Official Price Supplier, the discounted cash flow methodology that incorporates inputs of similar instruments has been used where possible; in other cases internal policy rates have been used.
U.S. GAAPFor assets and liabilities held at the end of the reporting period, the fair values differ from period to period due to changes in interest rates, credit risk related to third parties and the own Bank’s credit risk, market perceptions of value, and new transactions that the Bank has entered into.
IFRS requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Certain categories of assets and liabilities, however, are not eligible for fair value accounting. The financial instruments below are not recorded at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Short-term financial instruments
Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet,statement of financial position, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. This approach was used for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, customers’ acceptances, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest payable and bank acceptances outstanding.
Deposits
The fair value of Time Deposits was estimated based on the discounted value of cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Fair value of deposits with undefined maturities represents the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheetstatement of financial position date.
Interbank borrowings and borrowings from development and other domestic banks
Short-term interbank borrowings and borrowings from domestic development banks have been valued at their carrying amounts because of their relatively short-term nature. Long-term and domestic development bank borrowings have also been valued at their carrying amount because they bear interest at variable rates.
Long-term debt
Debt securities in issue
The fair value of long-term debt securities in issue, comprised of bonds issued by Bancolombia and its subsidiaries, was estimated substantially based on quoted market prices. The fair value of certain bonds which do not have a public trading market, were determined based on the discounted value of cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities and the Bank’s own creditworthiness.

Level 3 Fair Value Rollforward
The fair value represents management’s best estimates based on internally developed methodologies,following were the significant Level 3 transfers for the period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and for the period 2014 to 2015:
The transfer of COP 96,099 in cases where quoted prices2014 from Level 3 to Level 2 of bonds and depositsInvestment securities issued by financial entities, primarily linked to an increase in their market liquidity and the Bankobservability of prices.
All transfers are not directly observable in an active market, the Bank uses discounted cash flow methodology that incoporates curves derived from quoted instruments in appropriate time bandings, which match the timings of the cash flows and maturities of the instruments. For loans, cash flows are discounted at interest rates published by the SFC, which represents the current market origination rates for loans with similar terms and risk at the valuation date. For assets and liabilities heldassumed to occur at the end of the reporting period, the fair values differ from period to period due to changes in interest rates, credit risk related to third parties and the Bank’s own credit risk, market perceptions of value, and new transactions that the Bank has entered into.period.
In addition to the instruments in the tables above, the Bank holds COP 554,732 of private equity securities that are classified as Level 3 and reported within other assets as of December 31, 2012. Valuation of private equity securities are based on the most recent issuer’s financial information.

NOTE 30. FIRST-TIME ADOPTION OF IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012:2015, are the first year-end financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, accepted in Colombia by means of Decree 2784 from the year 2012 and Decree 3023 of the year 2013. In such technical framework, as amended, the Government established that the transition period had to take place during 2014, and all the entities were required to prepare the opening statement of financial position under IFRS as of January 1, 2014. For the purposes of the consolidated financial statement and its related notes, the Bank has elected January 1, 2014 as the date of transition from previous Colombian banking GAAP to IFRS.
30.1 Major changes in the accounting policies arising from the transition to IFRS:
Financial instrument | Fair Value | Valuation Technique | Significant unobservable input | Low | High | |||||||||||
Loans | COP | 73,969,923 | Discounted cash flow | Discount rate | 6.33 | % | 35.92 | % | ||||||||
Deposits | 20,269,643 | Discounted cash flow | Yield | 1.90 | % | 9,22 | % | |||||||||
Bonds | 156,308 | Discounted cash flow | Yield | 0.63 | % | 4.01 | % |
Colombian banking GAAP: the methodology for evaluating loans and financial leases is based on their inherent risk characteristics and serves as a basis for recording loss allowances based on loss percentages estimated or established by the SFC according to past due days. Under Colombian banking GAAP, the loan loss allowance is determined and monitored on an ongoing basis.
IFRS:IAS 39 “Financial instruments: recognition and measurements” determines that the entity should assess, at least on each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a loan or group of loans are impaired. A loan or group of loans is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events (e.g., the economic performance and trends in the client’s industry) that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan and prior to the statement of financial position date and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loan’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate.
Firstly, it is necessary to assess, on an individual basis, if there is objective evidence of impairment for exposures that are individually significant (impaired loans that exceed a specific threshold), or individually and collectively significant for exposures that are not individually significant. If there is no objective evidence for an exposure individually assessed, be it significant or not, it should be included in a group of exposures with similar characteristics and assessed collectively. The exposures that are individually assessed and for which a loss has been recorded should not be included in the collective assessment.
b. | Lease operations: |
Colombian banking GAAP:for financial entities involved in lease arrangements as lessor, the leases must be classified as either financial leases or operating leases, according to the terms of the lease agreements. Assets provided through leases to third parties with a purchase option are recorded in the loan portfolio. Assets provided through operating leases are recorded as property, plant and equipment.
IFRS:According to IAS 17 “Leases”, leases are required to be classified as either (i) finance leases, when the lessor entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, and an asset and a liability must be recognized by the lessee and the present value of lease payments must be recognized as a receivable or (ii) operating leases, which result in expense recognition by the lessee, with the asset remaining recognized by the lessor.
c. | Deferred income taxes: |
Colombian banking GAAP:Deferred tax assets or liabilities must be recorded for all timing differences raised in the current period based on the consolidated statement of income when comparing the amount of recognized income and expenses for accounting and tax purposes. However, loss carry-forwards and excess of presumed income over ordinary income are restricted by the SFC.
IFRS:IAS 12 “Income tax” prescribes that deferred tax assets or liabilities should be measured using substantively enacted tax rates. IAS 12 also prescribes that deferred tax assets should be recognized when the generation of future taxable income is probable, allowing the realization of the assets.
d. Measurement of financial instruments:
Colombian banking GAAP:External Circular 100 of 1995 issued by the SFC provides guidance related to the measurement of financial instruments, considering the purchase cost as the initially recognition amount for investment securities and requires that traded securities must be valued using inputs and prices provided by the price provider authorized by the SFC. Nonetheless, some debt securities classified as either trading or available for sale are not recognized at fair value, but are recognized at amortized cost using a discounted cash flow methodology.
On the other hand, loans are recorded at the principal outstanding less allowance for impairment, except in cases of purchases of portfolios, which are recorded at the acquisition cost on day one. The SFC requires that interest income, lease payments and other items of income cease to be accrued in the consolidated statements of income after a loan is in arrears for more than two months for mortgage and consumer loans, three months for commercial loans and one month for small business loans.
IFRS:determines that all financial instruments are initially recognized when, and only when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified according to the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristic of the financial asset. At initial recognition the entity measures a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value, plus or minus transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method or at fair value through profit or loss. The interest income recognized in the consolidated statement of income includes the amortization of premiums and discounts. IFRS requires that valuation techniques of financial assets and liabilities at fair value incorporate all factors or inputs that a market participant would consider in setting a price when using consistent and accepted economic methodologies for pricing such financial instruments.
e. | Compound financial instruments: |
Colombian banking GAAP: Bancolombia’s subscribed preferred shares are fully recognized as issued and outstanding capital.
IFRS:IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” requires that the components of compound financial instruments, as defined by IAS 32, be separated and classified as debt instruments and equity instruments. This classification is made based on circumstances, economic substance and specific terms of these instruments on the date they are issued.
30.2 Overview of the IFRS 1 voluntary exemptions and mandatory exceptions applied by the administration in the preparation of these consolidated financial statement.
Exemptions:
a) | Business combinations and past acquisitions: |
IFRS 1 “First time adoption” allows companies that are first-time adopters to maintain the accounting treatment adopted in the prior accounting practices (Colombian banking GAAP in the case of the Bank) with respect to business combinations and acquisition of investments in associates that were recognized before the transition date or an earlier date. Such transactions are not restated, retrospectively, by applying IFRS 3 (Revised).
In accordance with the exemption allowed by IFRS 1, the accounting policies used by the Bank for initial recognition and subsequent measurement of goodwill derived from acquisitions that took place prior to January 1, 2014 under Colombian banking GAAP paid-in capital in excess of par value of common and preferred shares issued is credited to a legal reserve. Under U.S. GAAP, capital in excess of par value is credited to paid-in capital.were maintained.
During 2010 and 2011 a new regulation required companies to calculate this tax only once for the next four years as of JanuaryIFRS 1 2011 at the tax rate of 6% and payable in 8 semi-annual installments over four years without interest. The equity tax calculated byallows the Bank to individually measure certain premises and its subsidiaries amountsequipment at fair value or to approximately COP 469,002. The tax amount assessed is fixeduse a reappraisal of asset according the prior accounting practices (Colombian banking GAAP) as of January 1, 2011 and is not subject to further adjustment and the entity is not subject to any additional assessment through 2014.
The amount computed, in accordance with Colombian banking GAAP was recorded as a deferred asset to be amortized against the balance of a local special account named the “revaluation of equity” in stockholders’ equity (this account was created when in the past companies recorded inflation adjustments) on the date of each payment. If the balance in this account is less than the amountdeemed cost of the equity tax, the difference is amortized into the consolidated statement of operations also over four years without interest. As of December 31, 2012, under Colombian banking GAAP the deferred asset amounted to COP 234,408. The amount of COP 204,375 has been amortized against revaluation of equity.
Under U.S. GAAP, an equity tax liability was recorded on a discounted basis to reflect the time value of money as the aggregate amount of the liability and the amount and timing of cash payments are fixed. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the equity tax liability amounted to COP 221,684 and COP 329,490, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the corresponding discount effect amounted to COP 9,434 and COP 17,907, respectively, and were recorded in the line “Administrative and other expenses”. The discount curve rate used was the risk free rate plus the Bank’s risk premium.
According to Colombian banking GAAP, provisions for legal proceedings with governmental entities must be recorded for at least 50% of the total value of the penalty when judgment against the Bank in a government court instance is issued (despite the fact that the contingency was not considered probable in such instance) and then adjusted at 100% of the penalty in question when the final sentence against Bank is confirmed.
For the year 2012, the Bank has recognized provisions related to the discussions with the Bogotá District Council and Barranquilla District Council amounting to COP 10,113. During 2011, the Bank had recognized a reversal of the provision related to the discussions with the Tax administration (DIAN) amounting to COP 11,698.
According to U.S. GAAP, an estimated loss from a loss contingency shall be accrued by a charge to income if information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurredassets at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
Under U.S. GAAP, thetransition. The Bank has recognized provisions relatedelected to recognize as deemed cost the discussions with the Tax administration (DIAN), the Bogotá District Councilreappraisal of assets for certain premises and Barranquilla District Council amounting to COP 42,087, which have been assessed as “Probable” based on the Bank’s and its legal counsel’s judgment as of December 31, 2012. The provision recognized represents the individual most likely outcome of the amount required to settle each obligation.
There are no contingencies or other uncertainties that could affect the fairness of presentation of the financial data as of December 31, 2012. See “Consolidated Financial Statements note 26 Commitments and Contingencies”.equipment.
Under Colombian banking GAAP, earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of both common and preferred shares outstanding for each period presented.
U.S. GAAP requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS for entities with complex capital structures, as well as a reconciliation of the basic EPS computation to the diluted EPS computation. Some capital structures require the application of the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available to common shareholders but does not require the presentation of basic and diluted EPS for securities other than common stock.
Basic EPS is calculated by reducing the income from continuing operations by the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amount of dividends that must be paid for the current period, considering the allocation of remaining earnings to common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. EPS is determined by dividing the total earnings allocated to each security by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Bank has applied the two-class method considering there was no difference between basic or diluted EPS on this basis for these years. Bancolombia S.A. has preferred shares which are participating securities as they may participate in earnings with the common shares after payment of the minimum dividend on the preferred shares.
The following table summarizes information related to the computation of basic EPS for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010(in millions of pesos, except per share data):

In October 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and improvements” to provide: 1) clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both, which affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification; 2) clarify certain guidance in various Topics of the Codification to fully reflect the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments are not introducing any new fair value measurements and are not intended to result in a change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820 or fundamentally change other principles of U.S. GAAP. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Management is currently evaluating the impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank.
In August 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections” to amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to SAB 114 related to computation of restricted net assets of subsidiaries, Presentation of Financial Statements, Notes to Financial Statements and other topics; SEC Release No. 33-9250 and ASU 2010-22 which amend or rescind portions of certain SAB Topics related to: Form of condensed financial statements, Debt Issue Costs in Conjunction with a Business Combination, Business Combinations Prior to an Initial Public Offering, Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary and other topics. The amendments do not include an effective date, applications must be considered after publication. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank.
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Section 350-30. The amendments include a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Management has concluded that the ASU 2012-02 has no impact on the Bank’s annual impairment test due to the fact that the Bank was not involved in any arrangement at the date of transition that should be accounted for as a lease agreement.
e) | Classification and measurement of financial assets: |
The Bank has not recognized Indefinite-lived intangible assetsassessed whether a financial asset meets the criteria described in prior business combinations.IFRS 9 based on facts and circumstances existing at the transition date in order to the measurement of the asset at fair value through profit or loss, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at amortized cost, considering:
· | The business model and those objectives within the financial asset are held. |
· | The contractual terms of the financial asset and its cash flows considering whether those are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
Exceptions:
a) | Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities: |
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities (Topic 210)”accordance with IFRS 1 a first-time adopter shall apply the derecognition requirements in IFRS 9 prospectively for transactions occurring on or after the date of transition to IFRS.
However, IFRS 1 allows a first-time adopter to apply the derecognition requirements in IFRS 9 retrospectively from a date determined by the entity, provided that the information required to apply these standards had been obtained at the time of the initially accounting for the transaction. This exception was considered by the Bank to be applied prospectively.
b) | Estimates: |
IFRS 1 requires that, on the transition date, the estimates used by the management for IFRS purposes are consistent with estimates made as of the same dates under Colombian banking GAAP (prior regulatory accounting framework), unless there is evidence of errors in the preparation of estimates under Colombian banking GAAP as compared to provide enhanced disclosuresIFRS.
The Bank’s management considers that will enable usersthe estimates used for Colombian baking GAAP are consistent with those used on the transition date to IFRS.
c) | Hedge accounting: |
IAS 39 requires the valuation of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position. This includes the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with an entity’s recognized assets and recognized liabilities within the scope of this Update. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information aboutall derivative financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offsetat fair value, as well as the elimination of deferred gains or losses, recognized as assets or liabilities under Colombian banking GAAP prior to IFRS. Additionally, an entity should not apply hedge accounting (as defined by IAS 39) in its consolidated balance sheet at the transition date if the instrument did not qualify as a hedge in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subjectIAS 39. As a result of this assessment, no hedge relationships were discontinued after the transition to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset inIFRS.
d) | Embedded derivatives: |
In accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. Also, in January 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-01, to clarify implementation issues aboutIFRS 9, the scope of ASU 2011-11, specifically, amendments related to accounting for derivatives and hedging. An entityBank has assessed whether an embedded derivative is required to applybe separated from the amendmentshost contract and accounted for annual reporting periods beginning on or after Januaryseparately at fair value. As a consequence the Bank has determined there is no embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract at the transition date.
e) | Non-controlling interest: |
IFRS 1 2013. Anrequires that the entity should providethat adopts IFRS for the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluatingfirst time applies certain requirements of IFRS 10 prospectively from the transition date. However, these requirements did not have an impact the amendments would have on the Bank’s financial statement and U.S. GAAP disclosures.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-10, “Derecognition of in substance Real Estate (Topic 360)”, to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance in sup-topic 360-20 applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank for the reporting period ending on December 31, 2012 and 2011.opening balance sheet.
F-127
In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill30.3 Reconciliation between Colombian banking GAAP and Other (Topic 350)”,IFRS applicable to simplify the way entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment. The amendments in this update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under these amendments, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair valueBank’s statement of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption had no impact on the U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information released by the Bank for the reporting period ending on December 31, 2012 and 2011.position:

Explanatory notes of the work developed by the FASBmain adjustments and the IASB to expand common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurementsreclassification in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The amendments in this update requires additional disclosures including the following: (1) Information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) Information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, (3) The categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair valuefirst-time adoption in the statement of financial position, butposition:
a. | ↑ | Increased by the removal of allowances for cash and cash equivalents. | ||
b. | ↑ | By reclassification of receivable item under Colombian banking GAAP related to interbank and money market transaction. | ||
c. | ↑ | Increase due to reclassification of non-compulsory investments that under Colombian banking GAAP were classified as held-to-maturity, and which are recognized at fair value under IFRS in accordance with the business model determined for these investments. Under Colombian banking GAAP investment securities intended to be held on a continuing basis were included in the balance sheet at cost less provision for any impairment. Under IFRS the portfolio shares was increased by the fair value measurement in accordance with IFRS 13. | ||
d. | ↓ | Reclassification to Investments item under IFRS at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with the business model determined for these assets amounted to COP 2,035,522 and COP 2,196,610, as of January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively. | ||
e. | ↑ | Under Colombian banking GAAP the investments on which the Bank has significant influence or joint control were measured at cost and classified as investments available for sale. The difference between the cost and equity participation was recorded as reappraisal of assets in ‘other assets’ item and stockholders’ equity. Those investments are reclassified to ‘Investment in associates and joint ventures’ item under IFRS and are measured based on the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. The effect of applying the equity method to those investments amounted to COP 320,442 and COP 483,360 as of January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, respectively. | ||
f. | ↓ | Reclassification of Investments held to maturity under Colombian banking GAAP, which under IFRS do not fulfill requirements provided by IFRS 9 to be recognized at amortized cost due to the fact that if there is an exchange offer of securities issued by the Colombian Government, sales or exchanges of such securities are allowed under Colombian banking GAAP regardless of being initially classified as held to maturity. | ||
Increase under IFRS for the first day of valuation as deferred charge amounted to COP 2,647 as of December 31, 2014. In accordance with IFRS 9, the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price. However, for certain derivatives the consideration given or received is other than the fair value of the financial instrument, in that case the adjustment to defer the difference must be recognized, and after initial recognition, the entity shall recognize that deferred difference as gain or loss only to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset or liability. Under Colombian banking GAAP, the transaction price is considered as the fair value at the initial recognition. | ||||
g. | ↓ | Under Colombian banking GAAP, the measurement of the fair value of derivatives does not include a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) / debit value adjustment. Under IFRS, the Bank measures the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the swap, option and forward derivatives. Reduction by COP 26,681 and COP 34,201 as of December 31, and January 1, 2014, respectively due to the inclusion of Credit Value Adjustment (CVA) / Debit Value Adjustment (DVA) in the valuation of contracts. | ||
Short-term credit investment issued by a non-financial firm and guaranteed by the Bank as to payment was accounted for as customers’ acceptances item under Colombian banking GAAP , and reclassified to the loan portfolio under IFRS by COP 90,049 and COP 38,589, as of December 31, 2014 and January, 1, 2014, respectively. | ||||
Increase by reclassification of operating leases under Colombian banking GAAP into financial leases under IFRS. | ||||
Financial Leasing-related advance payments item under Colombian banking GAAP were accounted for as ‘Other assets’ and reclassified into loans and leases under IFRS. | ||||
h. | ↑ | Increase due to the recognition of suspended interest as part of the loan. | ||
i. | ↓↑ | Reduction by COP 40,021 in allowances as of December 31, 2014. Under Colombian banking GAAP, allowances are estimated based on expected losses while under IFRS, allowances are estimated based on incurred losses. The reduction in the level of the difference of allowances estimated by the Bank under Colombian banking GAAP and IFRS as of January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 is explained mainly by the increase in the level of corporate loans granted by the Parent Company during the year 2014 for which the probability of default is lower, | ||
Reclassification of returned assets by the customer in lease contracts that are recognized in the ‘Premises and equipment’ item under Colombian banking GAAP and under IFRS are classified as ‘inventories’ item under IFRS amounted to COP 48,087 and COP 5,987 as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, respectively. | ||||
j. | ↑ | Under IFRS, the Bank due to the course of its ordinary activities, routinely sells item of property and equipment held to be leased to third parties and then such assets are recognized as inventories. Those inventories are measured at the lower cost and net realizable value. Under Colombian banking GAAP those assets were recognized at cost. Due to the difference in measurement of inventories item the Bank has recognized a decreased in the related carrying amount of COP 38,275 and COP 93,677 as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, respectively. |
Under Colombian banking GAAP the property held to earn rentals are recognized at cost of acquisition and the depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, those assets were recognized as ‘premises and equipment’. Under IFRS, the Bank’s investment properties item were initially measured at deemed cost and subsequently measured using a fair value model. Reclassification of premises and equipment item under Colombian banking GAAP to investment properties under IFRS amounted to COP 513,529 and COP 527,986, respectively as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014. | ||||||
k. | ↓ | Under Colombian banking GAAP reappraisal of a portion of the entity’s properties was recognized as an increase or decrease in the balance sheet under the assets caption “Reappraisal of assets”. Under IFRS the Bank has used the reappraisal of asset recognized as investment properties according the prior accounting practices (Colombian banking GAAP) as the deemed cost of those assets at the date of transition. The related adjustment amounted to COP 456,715. | ||||
Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank accounts for improvements on leased property in the statement of operations. Under IFRS, leasehold improvements that met certain criteria are recorded as premises and equipment and depreciated on a monthly basis over the term of the leases. The adjustment effect amounted to COP 109,344 and COP 100,437 as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, respectively. | ||||||
Reclassification of assets to place in operating leases recognized as ‘other assets’ item under Colombian banking GAAP to ’Premises and equipment’ under IFRS amounted to COP 2,129 and COP 1,495, as of December 31, 2014 and January, 1, 2014; respectively. | ||||||
According to Colombian banking GAAP, reappraisals of a portion of the Bank’s premises and equipment, must have been made periodically and the effects of the increase or decrease are recorded in the balance sheet under the assets caption “Reappraisal of assets” and in the stockholders’ equity caption “Surplus from reappraisals of assets”. Reappraisal of premises and equipment were considered as deemed cost at first-time adoption statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS 1. The reclassification from ‘reappraisal of assets’ to ‘premises and equipment’ amounted to COP 321,872 and COP 163,571, as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014, respectively. | ||||||
Increase by COP 165,662 and COP 269,565 as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 due to the extension of the useful life of premises and equipment under IFRS. | ||||||
Under IFRS the cost of an item of premises and equipment shall be recognized as an asset if, and only if: | ||||||
· | It is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity, and | |||||
· | The cost of the item can be measured reliably. | |||||
Derecognition of assets that not meet the aforementioned criteria for being accounted as an assets under IFRS amounted to COP 12,159 and COP 22,870 as of December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014. | ||||||
l. | ↑ | Under Colombian banking GAAP properties held to earn rentals are recognized at cost of acquisition and the depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which were recognized as ‘premises and equipment’. Under IFRS, the Bank’s investment properties item was initially measured at deemed cost and subsequently measured using a fair value model.

Explanatory notes for adjustments and reclassification of first-time adoption in the statement of income:
a. | - Increase due to the recognition of suspended interest as part of the loan. - Reversal of accrual of interests in arrears, under IFRS they are considered as contingent asset. - Increase in interest income due to the reclassification of operating leases into financial leases. | |
b. | - Fair value adjustment on valuation of debt securities recognized as held-to-maturity under Colombian banking GAAP - CVA/DVA adjustment on valuation of derivatives. | |
c. | - Interest expenses related to the interest cost of employee benefit plans and the valuation adjustment of the compound instruments classified as liabilities. - Bond issuance costs are recognized as a lower value of the obligation. | |
d. | -Decrease in the impairment charges. Under Colombian banking GAAP, allowances are estimated based on expected losses while under IFRS, allowances are estimated based on incurred losses. | |
e. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank recognizes commissions (origination fees) on loans, lines of credit and letters of credit when collected and records related direct costs when incurred. Under IFRS, the Bank identifies origination commissions, which are recognized as an integral part of the effective interest rate of the financial instrument. Consequently, the differences between both frameworks results in reversal of income from commission recognized at the origination date under Colombian banking GAAP. - Adjustment related to commissions in financial guarantees and credit letters granted by the Bank. | |
f. | - Under IFRS commissions paid by the Bank for financial obligations are amortized on a straight line basis during the life of the contract. Under Colombian banking GAAP, those commissions fees are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and expensed as incurred. The adjustment amounted to COP 1,819. - Under Colombian banking GAAP, certain royalties and expenses related to fees and other service income was recognized as ‘Other expenses’ item by COP 332,044. Under IFRS those expenses are recorded as ‘fees and other service expenses’ item in the statement of income. | |
g. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP leases are classified as either financial leases or operating leases according to the terms of the leases agreements, considering that all leases to third parties with a purchase option were recognized as financial leases. Under IFRS, a finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. Due to the increase by reclassification of operating leases item under Colombian banking GAAP into financial leases under IFRS, the operating lease income was reduced by COP 166,665. - The exchange rate difference arising from currency translation is greater by COP 71,174 under Colombian banking GAAP than under IFRS mainly due to: 1. As a result of the differences in balance sheets accounts denominated in foreign currencies under Colombian banking GAAP and IFRS that are subject to conversion to Colombian pesos. 2. The income accounts of foreign currency financial statements converted to pesos using average exchange rates are recorded in the statement of OCI under IFRS, while under Colombian banking GAAP was recorded as foreign exchange gain/loss in the statement of income. - Under Colombian banking GAAP, the measurement of the fair value of derivatives does not include a credit valuation adjustment; the related adjustment amounted to COP 3,171. | |
h. | - Under IFRS the Bank recognizes its significant influence on certain equity securities through the equity method. Under Colombian banking GAAP, investments where the investor had the ability to exercise significant influence were recorded at cost and classified as available for sale. The difference between the cost and equity participation was recorded as reappraisal of assets in assets and stockholders’ equity. -Fair value adjustment on portfolio shares which were recognized at amortized cost under Colombian banking GAAP. | |
i. | - Increase in employee benefits expenses due to actuarial estimation of pension and long term benefit plan liabilities. | |
j. | - Capital expenditures on software licenses that do not meet recognition criteria to be recognized as intangible assets under IFRS are not subject to amortization expense. |
k. | - Reversal of amortization of the equity tax recorded under Colombian banking GAAP as deferred charge. Under IFRS, an equity tax liability must be recorded on a discounted basis to reflect the time value of money as the aggregate amount of the liability and the amount and timing of cash payments are fixed. | |
l. | - Decrease in the depreciation charge due to the extension of the useful life of premises and equipment. Under IFRS the goodwill is not subject to amortization. | |
m. | - Reversal of operating leases expenses on contracts that were reclassified into financial leases under IFRS. - Adjustment of provisions for litigation under IFRS. | |
n. | - Due to the recognition of the timing differences between the fiscal and accounting basis under IFRS. | |
o. | Under Colombian banking GAAP and IFRS, consolidated net income and comprehensive income are reported with separate disclosure of the amounts attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, and corresponds to net income originated by the subsidiaries where the Bank holds less than 100% of participation. The Bank held an interest in participation of FCP Colombia Inmobiliaria of 50.21% of the outstanding shares, being a significant non-controlling interest for the Bank. Under Colombian banking GAAP the assets held for rental and investments in real estate properties were recorded as premises and equipment subject to amortization charge; whereas under IFRS the changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognized in the statement of income. |

Explanatory notes for adjustments and reclassification of first-time adoption in the statement of other comprehensive income:
a. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP the changes in the projected benefit obligation of employee benefit plans resulting from changes in actuarial assumption were recognized as a liability and then amortized against expenses on a straight line basis over defined periods established by local regulation. Under IFRS, those changes in the projected benefit obligation are recorded against cumulative other comprehensive income. | |
b. | - According to Colombian banking GAAP, reappraisals of a portion of the Bank’s premises and equipment, equity investments and other non-monetary assets are made periodically and the effects of the increase or decrease are recorded in the statement of financial position under the assets caption “Reappraisal of assets” and in the stockholders’ equity. Reappraisal of premises and equipment and investment were considered as deemed cost at first-time adoption statement of financial position in accordance with IFRS1. | |
c. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP, the Bank recognized the item ‘Revaluation of equity’ which was originated when in the past companies recorded inflation adjustments. |
d. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP, for consolidation purposes, the income accounts of foreign currency financial statements are converted to pesos using average exchange rates. The exchange difference originated in the consolidated statement of income accounts is recorded as foreign exchange gain/loss in the statement of income. Under IFRS, the translation adjustments shall be reported as a component of the other comprehensive income. | |
e. | - Increased due to reclassification of certain investments under IFRS at fair value through OCI in accordance with the business model determined for these assets and the fair value measurement in accordance with IFRS 13. | |
f. | - Due to reclassification for certain securities from ‘debt investment available for sale’ item under Colombian banking GAAP to ‘debt investments at fair value through profit or loss or debt investment at amortized cost’ considering the Bank’s business model under IFRS , the accumulated change in fair value of those investment under IFRS in the OCI is nil. | |
g. | - Under Colombian banking GAAP, the measurement of the fair value of derivatives does not include a CVA/DVA. Under IFRS, the Bank measures the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the derivatives designed as hedging instruments. |

a. Credit Risk Management - Loans and Financial Leases
Risk management during the credit life cycle is developed through the fulfillment of the policies, procedures and methodologies stipulated in the Credit Risk Administration System, in accordance with the strategy approved by the Board of Directors for monitoring and controlling credit risk.
The Credit Risk Administration System also contains the general criteria to evaluate, classify, measure and mitigate credit risk. In addition, the credit risk department has developed methodologies and manuals that specify the policies and procedures for different products and segments managed by the organization.
To maintain credit quality and manage the risk arising from its lending activities, the Bank has established general loan policies, including the following:
· | Credit exposure limits:It contains guidelines with regard to the establishment of credit exposure limits to customers, geographies and industries. The Bank applies the lending limits to borrowers established under Colombian law, which require among other things that uncollateralized loans to a single customer or economic group may not exceed 10% of the Bank’s (unconsolidated) Technical Capital. |
· | Origination policies:These policies aim to acquire ample and sufficient knowledge of the characteristics of potential clients and to select them properly. The riskiness of the customer is determined using credit rating models. These models use information as the character, reputation and credit history of the borrower, the type of business the borrower engages in, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, and information received from the credit risk bureaus. The risk grading system is also used in determining the allowance for credit losses. |
Loan applications, depending on their amount, are presented for approval at the level of management authority required.
· | Collaterals policies:For the purpose of mitigating risk associated with non-fulfillment of obligations agreed upon by the debtor, the Bank has established policies for the valuation of collateral received as well as for the determination of the maximum loan amount that can be granted against the value of the collateral. |
· | Allowance policies:The definition of this type of policies underlies the fulfillment of legal guidelines, in what is stipulated by the organization and for the analysis of clients in terms of the actions that must be undertaken in order to cover loss risk through the Bank’s credit exposure. |
· | Monitoring policies: Contains various monitoring procedures, portfolio reports and policies for the purpose of overseeing, in an adequate and timely manner, the evolution of credit risk. These procedures include a continuous process of classification and reassessment of credit operations and they maintain consistency with the policies implemented for granting loans. |
· | Portfolio recovery policies:Through the definition of these policies, the organization aims to establish those mechanisms that allow it to anticipate possible delays or to minimize the impact resulting from non-fulfillment of payment or delays by the debtor. Additionally, the aspects established in this policy delimit what the organization has defined as collection management and that make it possible to obtain information to improve the origination policies and the models for establishing allowances for credit losses. |
Management of credit risk is carried out in all phases of the credit life cycle. These processes are defined in the following way:
· | Origination: Knowing the client, payment capacity analysis, sector analysis, payment behavior and credit structure. |
· | Monitoring: Knowing the client's situation during the life of the credit. |
· | Recovery: Collection management during the different stages of the same credit. |
As part of the credit origination processes, the Bank develops scoring and rating models based on statistical information or criteria from experts, which differentiate the risk levels of potential clients in order to support the decision making process.
The Vice-Presidency of Risk is in charge of defining and documenting the specific characteristics of the models being utilized, as well as the parameters and variables to be used in each case and the cut-off points that are applied per situation in the process of issuing credit. On a biannual basis at minimum, the Vice-Presidency of Risk must perform backtesting5 of the Scoring and Rating models used in the granting process in order to validate their effectiveness. Additionally, on a monthly basis, the entire credit portfolio is rated taking into account the established internal models for the purpose of evaluating the credit risk of each debtor and establishing the required allowance for loan losses.
In addition to the evaluation and qualification of the portfolio, the monthly allowance for loan losses serves to measure the present condition of the portfolio. The methodologies used for calculation of the allowance serves as a tool to evaluate risk, be it in a collective or individual manner. Collective evaluation of the portfolio applies the following parameters for measuring risk: Probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD).
For the evaluation of individual risk, parameters such as recovery rates estimated by score sheets that include financial, behavioral information, collaterals and qualitative variables, serve as elements for measuring risk and defining an allowance for loan losses for that obligor.
Annual backtesting must be performed on the allowances for loan losses models for the purpose of maintaining suitable hedge levels in accordance with The Bank’s risk appetite.
The Bank is continuously monitoring the concentration of the risk groups, as well as carrying out a daily control of the exposure to different economic groups, evaluating the legal limits of indebtedness in order to fulfill the norms established about the concentration limits.
The Bank has models based on the optimization of risk and profit in order to determine the different concentration levels of portfolios, as well as international references determined by the rankings of external risks that allow the analysis of concentration levels in different geographic areas. On the other hand, at the legal level, Bancolombia is governed by the concepts and methodologies established by the external norms regarding the construction, administration and control of the concentration of economic groups.
The following classifications are established for the analysis of concentration:
· | Analysis of concentration by country: the risk country of the client will be the one where the operation that generates the resources to pay the credit obligation has ocurred. |
· | Analysis of concentration by sector: done through the economic sector defined by international code CIIU6. |
· | Concentration analysis by categories: refers to the portfolio categories of each agreement (commercial and financial leases, consumer loans, small business loans and mortgages). |
5 | Statistical procedures used to validate the quality and accuracy of a model, through the comparison of actual results and risk measures generated by the models. |
6 | CIIU: International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities. |
· | Concentration analysis by economic group: according to the characteristics of economic groups as established by regulations. |
b. | Credit Quality Analysis - Loans and Financial Leases |
Rating System for Credit Risk Management
The principal aim is to determine the risk profile that the client represents, which is obtained through a rating.
The rating for corporate loans is assigned based on the analysis of the interrelation of both qualitative and quantitative elements that can affect the fulfillment of the financial commitments acquired by a client. They take information on the Bank’s statement of financial position, profit and loss statement, historical payment behavior both with the Bank and with other entities, and qualitative information on variables that are not explicit in the financial statements. The grading model is applied at the loan granting and is updated by a central qualification office to undertake a biannual evaluation of the loan portfolio, during the months of May and November of each year.
In the case of a retail customer, scoring models are used in order to identify the level of risk associated with the client. These models include information as personal details, financial information, historical behavior, the total number of credit products and external information from credit bureaus.
Since each of the companies, the Bank has different risk levels for their internal rating models, the following categories of risk have been determined in order to classify clients according to their payment behavior:
Category | Description | |
A- Normal Risk | Loans and financial leases in this category are appropriately serviced. The debtor’s financial statements or its projected cash flows, as well as all other credit information available to the Bank, reflect adequate paying capacity. | |
B- Acceptable Risk | Loans and financial leases in this category are acceptably serviced and guaranty protected, but there are weaknesses which may potentially affect, on a transitory or permanent basis, the debtor’s ability to pay or its projected cash flows, to the extent that, if not timely corrected, would affect the normal collection of credit or contracts. | |
C- Appreciable Risk | Loans and financial leases in this category represent insufficiencies in the debtor’s paying capacity or in the project’s cash flow, which may compromise the normal collection of the obligations. | |
D- Significant Risk | Loans and financial leases in this category have the same deficiencies as loans in category C, but to a larger extent; consequently, the probability of collection is highly doubtful. | |
E- Unrecoverable | Loans and financial leases in this category are deemed uncollectible. |
Description of Loans and Financial Leases
In order to evaluate and manage credit risk, the credits and financial leasing operations have been classified into four categories, as follows:
· | Commercial and Financial Leases: |
Loans granted to individuals or companies in order to carry out organized economic activities and are not classified as small business loans.
F-143
The counterparties of this portfolio are mainly made up of companies, segmented in homogenous groups that are constituted according to size, measured by the value of annual sales. The following variables are part of this classification:
Segment | Incomes/Sales | |
Business | Companies with annual sales > = COP 17,500 M and < COP 45,000 M | |
Business Construction | Companies that dedicate themselves professionally to the construction of buildings to be sold as their main activity, with annual sales >= COP 10,000 M and <= COP 20,000 M or with more than 3 projects. | |
Corporate Construction | Companies that dedicate themselves professionally to the construction of buildings to be sold as their main activity, with annual sales > COP 20,000 M or more than 5 projects | |
Corporate | Companies with annual sales >= COP 45,000 M, except for Banco Agrícola and Banistmo, which place clients with annual sales above USD 10 Million in this classification. | |
Institutional Financing | Financial sector institutions. | |
Government | Municipalities, districts, departments with their respective decentralized organizations and entities at the National level with Revenue > COP 17,500 M. | |
SME | Annual sales >= COP 280 M and < COP 18,500 M, with a classification between small, medium and large, except for Banco Agrícola and Banistmo which place companies that do not surpass USD 10 Million in annual invoicing in this classification. |
· | Consumer: |
Loans and financial leases, regardless of value, granted to individuals for the purchase of consumer goods or to pay for non-commercial or business services.
These loans are classified as follows:

Others loans | Loans granted for the acquisition of consumer goods different from automobiles and prestanómina. Credit cards are not included in this segment. |
The counterparties of this portfolio are mainly individuals, segmented in homogenous groups, which are formed according to their size, which is calculated by their monthly income.
· | Mortgage: |
These are loans, regardless of value, granted to individuals for the purchase of a new or used house or to build a home, all in accordance with Colombian Law 546 of 1999. These loans include loans denominated in UVR or local currency that are guaranteed by a senior mortgage on the property and that are financed with a total repayment term of five to 30 years.
The counterparty of the mortgage loan is mainly made up of individuals segmented in homogenous groups, which are formed according to their size, which is calculated based on their monthly income. Additionally, this credit portfolio modality is classified in VIS7 and no VIS.
7 VIS: Social Interest Homes, corresponds to mortgage loans granted by the financial institutions of amounts less than 135 SMMLV.
· | Small Business Loans: |
These are issued for the purpose of encouraging the activities of small business and are subject to the following requirements: (i) the maximum amount to be lent is equal to 25 SMMLV and at any time the balance of any single borrower may not exceed such amount (as stipulated in article 39 of Colombian Law 590 of 2000) and (ii) the main source of payment for the corresponding obligation shall be the revenues obtained from activities of the borrower’s micro business. The balance of indebtedness on the part of the borrower may not exceed 120 SMMLV, as applicable, at the moment the credit is approved.
The counterparty of this portfolio is mainly made up of individuals, segmented in homogenous groups, which are formed according to their commercial size, which is calculated by their monthly income.
Loans and Financial Leases Collateral
Collateral refers to a credit risk mitigant which is an alternative source of payment on credit granted in the events of client breach. Collateral is considered admissible and appropriate when it complies with the following conditions:
· | Its economic value is enough to cover the exposure of the obligation and was established according to technical and objective criteria. |
· | The entity is granted a preference or an improved right to obtain the payment of the obligation, becoming an effective collateral. |
· | Its performance is reasonably possible. |
· | It is a payment source that sufficiently attends to the credit as per the requirement of the organization. |
· | The sovereign collateral that has certified and approved budgetary appropriation by the competent authority. |
The Bank has defined the criteria that allows the requirement of guarantees, which are established according to the classification of loan portfolio. Also, coverage has been set by type of guarantee and the necessary aspects to maintain it, such as their legalization and registry, the execution of evaluations by experts using objective criteria, the obligation to ensure those goods that are susceptible to suffering loss or deterioration, the exercise of their safekeeping and the necessary procedures for their cancellation.
The update of the fair value of mortgages and vehicles collaterals for the impaired loan portfolio is made on an annual basis. The methodology used to estimate the fair value of the properties is applied by external and independent entities. Updating the fair value of the vehicles is done through guides and valid values commonly used as reference to set the value of a vehicle. Valuation techniques used in updating the fair value of real state and vehicles are classified in levels 2 and 3 according to the hierarchy established by IFRS 13.

The following is the detail of the credit portfolio by main economic activity of the debtor as of December 31, 2012. See note 31, t) “Estimated Fair Value”.2015 and 2014 and January 1, 2014:
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements”, to improve the accounting for repurchase agreements (repos) and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. The amendments in this update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this update. The guidance in this update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management has not identified a significant impact on the Bank’s financial statements and U.S. GAAP disclosures.

In April 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring”, to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The new guidance requires creditors evaluate modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being considered troubled debt restructurings. In addition, the amendments to Topic 310 clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. As a result of applying these amendments, management believes that new considerations applied in its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information have not impacted significantly the Bank’s disclosures.
In January 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in ASU 2010-20”, to temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. Under the existing effective date in ASU 2010-20, the Bank would have provided disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. According to ASU 2011-02, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. As a result of applying these amendments, management believes that new considerations applied in its U.S. GAAP disclosures and financial information have not impacted significantly the Bank’s disclosures.

In order to determine the loans and financial leases impairment the Group considers the economic conditions and performance of the client's industry, the analysis of payments behavior and events that could negatively affect the client's ability to pay, among other factors.
Impairment can be done by referencea collective or individual evaluation according to the Registration Statementamount and characteristics of the loan.
If the evaluation is collective, the impairment is determined in Form F-6, filedaccordance with the variables, Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD)andExposure at Default (EAD).
All impaired credits that exceed COP 2,000 million are individually assessed (USD 1 million for foreign subsidiaries). The allowance for significant impaired loans are assessed based on the presentvalue of estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate or the fair value of the collateral in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is provided when discounted future cash flows or the fair value of collateral is lower than the carrying amount.
The impaired loans individually analyzed amounted to COP 2,387 billion which represents 1.64% of the total portfolio.
The table below shows impairment loans and financial leases as of December 31, 2015; December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2014 according to their type of evaluation:

A one-percent increase or decrease in the probability of default (PD), in the Loss Given Default (LGD) and in the cash flows for impaired loans represents an increase of approximately COP 63,299 million in the allowance for loan and lease losses or in a recovery of COP 82,507 million respectively. These sensitivity analyses do not represent management’s expectations of a decline in risk ratings or an increase in loss rates, however provided as a hypothetical scenario to assess the sensitivity of the allowance for loan and lease losses to changes in key inputs. The Bank believes the risk ratings and loss severities currently inuse are appropriate and represent management’s expectations about the credit risk inherent in its loan portfolio.

e. | Credit Risk Management - Other Financial Instruments: |
Each one of the positions that make up the portfolio complies with adapts to policies and limits that seek to diminish credit risk exposure by Bancolombiameans of the definition of, among others:
· | Term Limits: Each counterparty is studied by the Risk Committee, in which the result of the authorized model for this type of counterparty is reviewed (quantitative and qualitative variables),which allows the Committee to establish the maximum term for which the organization wishes to have exposure. |
· | Credit Limits: Limits approved under the model and with authorization from the Risk Committee, as well as the exposure, are monitored in line or batch, in such a way that the presentation of excesses is mitigated, and if the need for these arises, this is applied to the attributions regime in effect at the time. |
· | Counterparty Limits: These limits, derived from the Credit limits or with their own allocation model, are verified by the Front Office prior to the close of operations so that the availability to do it is confirmed. |
· | Master Agreement: These bilateral agreements describe the handling of operations between the counterparties in accordance with good international practices and that limit the legal and financial risk of under the occurrence of events of default (failure to pay or delivery). Mitigation mechanisms, procedures to be carried out in the case of this events of default, special conditions by type of operation and that are applied to OTC derivatives, Repos and other securities financing transactions, are all agreed upon. |
· | Margin Agreements: For OTC derivatives operations and other securities financing transactions, agreements that regulate the administration of guarantees, haircuts, adjustment periods, minimum transfer amounts, etc., and that limit risk for a period of time (one day, one week, etc.), are established for counterparties involved in the operation. |
· | Counterparty Alerts: There are financial, qualitative and market indicators that allow The Bank´s to establish damages to the credit quality of an issuer or counterparty. |
f. | Credit Quality Analysis - Other Financial Instruments: |
In order to evaluate the credit quality of a counterparty or issuer (to determine a risk level or profile), The Bank´s relies on January 14, 2008.two rating systems: an external one and an internal one, both of which allow it to identify a degree of impairment differentiated by segment - Country and to apply the policies that have been established for issuers or counterparties with different levels of risk, in order to limit the impact on liquidity and/or the earnings statement of the Bank.
The external credit rating system is divided by the type of rating applied to each instrument or counterparty; in this way the geographic location, the term and the type of instrument allow the assignment of a rating according to the methodology that each examining agency uses.
Agencies that support the ratings assignments are the following:
· | International: Moody's, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poors. |
· | Local:Fitch Rating Colombia, BRC Investor Services S.A. Inc. and Value and Risk Rating S.A. Inc. |
Internal credit rating system: The “Ratings or risk profiles” scale is created with a range of levels that go from low exposure to high exposure (This can be reported in numerical or alphanumerical scales), where the rating model is sustained by the implementation and analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables at sector level, which according to the relative analysis of each variable, determine credit quality; in this way the internal credit rating system aims to establish adequate margin in decision-making regarding the management of financial instruments.

Collateral- Other Financial Instruments:
Level of Collateral:According to the type of asset or operation, a collateral level is determined according to the policies defined for each product and the market where the operation is carried out.
Assets held as collateral in organized markets:The only assets that can be received as collateral are those defined by the Central Counterparties, the stock market where the operation is negotiated, those assets that are settled separately in different contracts or documents, which can be managed by each organization and must comply with the investment policies defined by the Bank, taking into account the credit limit for each type of asset or operation received or delivered, which collateral received are the best credit quality and liquidity.
Assets received as bilateral collateral between counterparties:The collateral accepted in international OTC derivative operations is agreed on bilaterally in the CSA and with fulfillment in cash in dollars.
Collateral adjustments for Margin agreements:The adjustments will be determined by the criteria applied by both the external and internal regulations in effect, and at the same time, mitigation standards are maintained so that the operation fulfills the liquidity and solidity criteria for settlement. Among the main characteristics by product or market, we have:
· | With respect to the derivative operations, these are carried out daily, with Threshold levels of zero for the majority of counterparties, which reduces the exposure to a term that does not exceed 10 days, according to Basel. |
· | For buy-sell backs, repos and other Securities financing transactions, daily monitoring is done in order to establish the need to adjust the collateral in such a way that these are applied in as little time as possible, according to the contracts or market conditions. |
· | For all international counterparties, margin agreements that limit exposure to the maximum and with a daily adjustment period are celebrated. These margin agreements are entered into under ISDA and GMRAs both for OTC Derivatives and securities financing transactions. |
· | For every local counterparty, the local framework agreement is signed (agreement developed by the industry) and the mitigating actions to apply in each operation are agreed upon, whether for margin agreements, re-couponing or early termination, among others. |
· | For Repos, Buy-sell backs and other securities financing transactions, these are agreed upon by organized markets that in general implicate complying with haircut or additional collateral rules. |
· | The Central Counterparty carries out daily control and monitoring processes in order to comply with the rules imposed by these organizations in such a way that we are always making daily adjustments at the demanded collateral level. |
g. | Concentration of the Credit Risk - Other Financial Instruments: |
According to the regulations, the Bank must control on a daily basis the risk of positions of the Bank's companies with the same issuer or counterparty stands, below the legal limits.
By the same way, the positions of the Bank are verifyed respect of the authorized risk levels in each country in order to guarantee the alerts and positions limits, that are considered outside of the The Bank risk appetite.

2. | MARKET RISK |
Market risk refers to the risk of losses in the bank’s treasury book due to changes in equity prices, interest rates, foreign-exchange rates and other indicators whose values are set in a public market. It also refers to the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income and equity economic value as a result of a change in market interest rates.
Market risk stems from the following activities at The Bank:
· | Trading: includes purchase, sale and positioning, mainly in fixed income securities, equities, currencies and derivatives, as well as the financial services provided to customers, such as brokerage. Trading instruments are recorded in the treasury book and are managed by the Treasury Division which is also responsible for the aggregated management of exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book and treasury book. |
· | Balance Sheet Management: refers to the assets and liabilities management, due to mismatches in maturities and repricing of them. The Assets Liabilility Management Division is responsible for the balance sheet management, preserving the stability of the financial margin and the equity economic value, maintaining adequate levels of liquidity and solvency. Non-trading instruments are recorded in the Bank’s banking book (the “Banking Book”), which includes primarily loans, time deposits, checking accounts and savings accounts. |
In the Bank, the market risks are identified, measured, monitored, controlled and reported in order to support the decision-taking process for their mitigation, and to create greater shareholder value added.
The guidelines, policies and methodologies for market risks management are approved by the Board of Directors, thus guaranteeing the congruence and unity in the risk appetite between subsidiaries. Each country has a local Market and Liquidity Risk Management Office that applies at the individual level the principles of the Group´s Market Risk Management Strategy. The Board of Directors and senior management have formalized the policies, procedures, strategies and rules of action for market risk administration in its “Market Risk Manual”. This manual defines the roles and responsibilities within each subdivision of the Bank and their interaction to ensure adequate market risk administration.
The Bank´s Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office, responsible for monitoring and permanently controlling compliance with the limits established, is set up with clear independence from the trading and businesses units, ensuring enforcement authority. This independent control function is complemented by regular reviews conducted by the Internal Audit.
The Bank’s Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office is responsible for: (a) identifying, measuring, monitoring, analysing and controlling the market risk inherent in the Bank’s businesses: (b) analysing the Bank’s exposure under stress scenarios and confirming compliance with the Bank’s risk management policies: (c) designing the methodologies for valuation of the market value of certain securities and financial instruments: (d) reporting to senior management and the Board of Directors any violation of the Bank’s risk management policies: (e) reporting to the senior management on a daily basis the levels of market risk associated with the trading instruments recorded in its treasury book (the “Treasury Book”), and (f) proposing policies to the Board of Directors and to senior management that ensure the maintenance of predetermined risk levels. The Bank has also implemented an approval process for new products across each of its subdivisions. This process is designed to ensure that each subdivision is prepared to incorporate the new product into its procedures, that every risk is considered before the product is incorporated and that approval is obtained from the Board of Directors before the new product can be sold.
Market risks arising from trading instruments are measured at the Bank using two different Value at Risk (VaR) methodologies: the standard methodology provided by the Superintendency of Finance, and the internal methodology of historical simulation. The standard methodology is established by “chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee of 2005. The internal methodology of historical simulation uses a confidence level of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, and a time frame of one year or at least 250 days from the reference date of the VaR calculation is used, obtained from the reference date of calculating the VaR.
The Bank’s VaR limits structure for trading activities, is sufficiently granular to conduct an effective control of the various types of market risk factors on which an exposure is held. It ensures that the market risk is not concentrated in certain asset classes and maximizes the portfolio diversification effect. These limits are defined by companies, products or by risk takers. The majority of the limits are based on the maximum VaR values to which a certain portfolio can be exposed; nevertheless, loss triggers, stop loss and sensitivity warning levels are also set, especially in the derivatives portfolios. The limits are approved by the Board of Directors, and set based on factors such as tolerance for losses, capital resources and market´s complexity and volatility. They are monitored daily, and their excesses or violations are reported to the Board of Directors and the Risk Committee.
Additional measurements such as stress tests are done to identify extreme unusual situations that could cause severe losses. Stress simulations include historical events and hypothetical scenarios. Backtesting or model validation technics through comparison of predicted and actual loss level are applied on a regular basis to analyse and contrast the accuracy of the VaR calculation methodology in order to confirm its reliability, and make adjustments to the models if necessary.
Within the control and monitoring processes of market risks, reports are elaborated on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. They include an analysis of the most relevant risk measures and allow for monitoring the exposure levels to market risks and to the legal and internal limits established for each one of the levels of the Group. These reports are taken as an input for the decision-taking process in the different Committees and management of The Bank.
Market Risk Management
The following section describes the market risks to which The Bank is exposed and the tools and methodologies used to measure these risks as of December 31, 2015. The Bank faces market risk as a consequence of its lending, trading and investments businesses.
The Bank uses a VaR calculation to limit its exposure to the market risk of its treasury book. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the maximum VaR based on its assessment of the appropriate level of risk for The Bank.
For managing the interest rate risk from banking activities, the Bank analyses the interest rate mismatches between its interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. In addition, the foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the Banking book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
a. Measurement of Market Risk of Negotiation Instruments
The Bank currently measures the treasury book exposure to market risk (including over-the-counter derivatives positions) as well as the currency risk exposure of the Banking book, which is provided to the Treasury Division, using a VaR methodology established in accordance with “chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, issued by the Superintendency of Finance.
The VaR methodology established by “chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular” is based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee of 2005, which focuses on the treasury book and excludes investments classified as “held to maturity” which are not being given as collateral and any other investment that comprises the Banking book, such as non-trading positions. In addition, the methodology aggregates all risks by the use of correlations, through an allocation system based on defined zones and bands, affected by given sensitivity factors.
The total market risk for the Bank is calculated by the arithmetical aggregation of the VaR calculated for each subsidiary. The aggregated VaR is reflected in the Bank’s Capital Adequacy (Solvency) ratio, in accordance with Decree 1771 of 2012.
For purposes of VaR calculations, a risk exposure category is any market variable that is able to influence potential changes in the portfolio value. Taking into account a given risk exposure, the VaR model assesses the maximum loss not exceeded at a specified confidence level over a given period of time. The fluctuations in the portfolio’s VaR depend on volatility, modified duration and positions changes relating to the different instruments that are subject to market risk.
The relevant risk exposure categories for which VaR is computed by The Bank according to “chapter XXI, appendix 1 of the Basic Accounting Circular” are: (i) interest rate risks relating to local currency, foreign currency and UVR; (ii) currency risk; (iii) stock price risk; and (iv) fund risk.
· | Interest Rate Risk (Treasury Book) |
The interest rate risk is the probability of decrease in the market value of the position due to fluctuations in market interest rates. The Bank calculates the interest rate risk for positions in local currency, foreign currency and UVR separately; in accordance with chapter XXI of the Basic Accounting Circular issued by the Superintendency of Finance.
In the first instance, the Interest Rate Risk exposure is determined by the sensitivity calculation for the net position of each instrument. This sensitivity is calculated as the net value market product, its corresponding modified duration and the estimated variation of interest rates. The possible variations in the interest rates are established by the SFC according to the historical behaviour of these variables in the markets, and they are a function of the duration and currency, as seen in the following table.
Modified Duration | Changes in Interest Rates (bps) | |||||||||||
Legal | ||||||||||||
Zone | Band | Lower Limit | Upper Limit | Currency | URV | Foreign Currency | ||||||
1 | 0 | 0.08 | 274 | 274 | 100 | |||||||
2 | 0.08 | 0.25 | 268 | 274 | 100 | |||||||
Zone 1 | 3 | 0.25 | 0.5 | 259 | 274 | 100 | ||||||
4 | 0.5 | 1 | 233 | 274 | 100 | |||||||
5 | 1 | 1.9 | 222 | 250 | 90 | |||||||
Zone 2 | 6 | 1.9 | 2.8 | 222 | 250 | 80 | ||||||
7 | 2.8 | 3.6 | 211 | 220 | 75 | |||||||
8 | 3.6 | 4.3 | 211 | 220 | 75 | |||||||
9 | 4.3 | 5.7 | 172 | 200 | 70 | |||||||
10 | 5.7 | 7.3 | 162 | 170 | 65 | |||||||
Zone 3 | 11 | 7.3 | 9.3 | 162 | 170 | 60 | ||||||
12 | 9.3 | 10.6 | 162 | 170 | 60 | |||||||
13 | 10.6 | 12 | 162 | 170 | 60 | |||||||
14 | 12 | 20 | 162 | 170 | 60 | |||||||
15 | 20 | 162 | 170 | 60 |
Once sensitivity has been calculated for each net position, they are grouped in the zones and bands that are shown in the previous table, making use of the modified duration of each investment. This procedure allows a net sensitivity calculation for each band and zone, understood as the difference between the sensitivities associated with long positions (positive sensitivities) as opposed to sensitivities of short positions (negative sensitivities), of the instruments that conform each one of the bands or zones.
Nevertheless, making the direct sum of net sensitivities (positive and negative) for each one of the bands and zones would allow the compensation of Interest Rate Risk exposure between instruments that are clearly different, even though these instruments share the same currency, have exposure differentials in relation to movements of the interest rate curves for different terms. Therefore, the Interest Rate Risk cannot be compensated, at least not totally, between different instruments, especially from the point of view of duration.
In order to incorporate this fact into the measurement of Interest Rate Risk, the calculation of a charge by sensitivity adjustment has been implemented, which represents a portion of sensitivity that cannot be compensated between different instruments, bands or zones. The adjustment factors present a behaviour that increases as the instruments whose duration differs greatly are compensated.
It is important to emphasize that the changes in interest rates and adjustment factors can be modified by the Financial Superintendent of Colombia when it is provided to them, for the purpose of adequately reflecting the sensitivity of each one of the positions exposed to Interest Rate Risk.
The Group’s exposure to interest risk primarily arises from investments in Colombian government’s treasury bonds (TES) and securities issued by the Colombian government held on Bancolombia’s treasury book.
· | Currency (Treasury and Banking Book), Equity (Treasury Book) and Fund (Treasury Book) Risk |
The VaR model uses a sensitivity factor to calculate the probability of loss due to fluctuations in the price of stocks, funds and currencies in which the Bank maintains a position. As previously indicated, the methodology used in this Annual Report to measure such risk consists of computing VaR, which is derived by multiplying the position by the maximum probable variation in the price of such positions (“Dp��). TheDp is determined by the Superintendency of Finance, as shown in the following table:
Currency | Sensitivity Factor | |||
United States Dollar | 5.5 | % | ||
Euro | 6 | % | ||
Other currencies and gold | 8 | % | ||
Equity and Fund Risk | 14.7 | % |
The interest rate’s fluctuations and the sensitivity factors for currency, equity and fund risk used in the model are established by the Superintendency of Finance according to historical market performance, and have not changed since March 2011.
· | Total Market Risk VaR |
The total market risk VaR is calculated as the algebraic sum of the interest rate risk, the currency risk, the stock price risk and the fund risk, which are calculated as the algebraic sum of each company’s exposure to these risks.
The total market risk VaR, had a 123% surge going from COP 323 billion in December 31st, 2014 to COP 721 billion as of December 31st, 2015, due mainly to the increase in the currency risk, as a consequence of an increase on United States Dollar, Euro and Guatemalan quetzal positions.
The following table presents the total change on market risk and every risk factor.

· | Assumptions and Limitations of VaR Models |
Although VaR models represent a recognized tool for risk management, they have inherent limitations, including reliance on historical data that may not be indicative of future market conditions or trading patterns. Accordingly, VaR models should not be viewed as predictive of future results. The Bank may incur losses that could be materially in excess of the amounts indicated by the models on a particular trading day or over a period of time, and there have been instances when results have fallen outside the values generated by the Bank’s VaR models. A VaR model does not calculate the greatest possible loss. The results of these models and analysis thereof are subject to the reasonable judgment of the Bank’s risk management personnel.
b. | Non-Trading Instruments Market Risk Measurement |
The banking book’s relevant risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income as a result of a change in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect The Bank’s earnings because of timing differences on the reprising of the assets and liabilities. The Bank manages the interest rate risk arising from banking activities in non-trading instruments by analyzing the interest rate mismatches between its interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. The foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
· | Interest Risk Exposure |
The Bank has performed a sensitivity analysis of market risk sensitive instruments estimating the impact on the net interest income of each position in the banking book, using within a period of twelve months based on hypothetical changes in the interest rates, using a reprising model and assuming positive parallel shifts of 100 basis points (bps). The following table provides information about The Bank’s interest rate sensitivity for the balance sheet items comprising the banking book:
Sensitivity to Interest Rate Risk of the Banking Book
The chart below provides information about Bancolombia’s of interest rate risk sensitivity in local currency (pesos) at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Assets sensitivity 100 pbs | 579,393 | 492,890 | ||||||
Liabilities sensitivity 100 bps | 332,079 | 306,541 | ||||||
Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps | 247,314 | 186,349 |
The chart below provides information about Bancolombia’s of interest rate risk sensitivity in foreing currency (US dollars) at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

Grupo Agromercantil's market risk exposure at a 100%
Includes Grupo Agromercantil's market risk exposure at a 100%
A positive net sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of assets side and therefore a rise in interest rates affects positively the Bank´s net interest income. A negative sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of liabilities side and therefore a rise in the interest rates affects negatively the Bank´s net interest income. In the event of a decrease in interest rates, the impact in the net interest income would be opposite to the mentioned.
o | Total Exposure: |
As of December 31, 2015, the net interest income sensitivity in local currency for the banking book instruments, entered into for other than trading purposes with positive parallel shifts of 100 basis points was COP 247 million. The sensitivity variation due to interest rate risk between 2014 and 2015 occurred due to the increase in the sensitivity of the loan portfolio.
On the other hand, the net interest income sensitivity in foreign currency in the face of 100 basis points was USD 4.4 million, which is not a significant difference between 2014 and 2015.
o | Assumptions and Limitations: |
Net interest income sensitivity analysis is based on the repricing model and consider the following key assumptions: (a) does not consider prepaid, new operations, defaults, etc., (b); the fixed rate instruments sensitivity, includes the amounts with maturity lower than one year and assuming these will be disbursed at interest rates market and (c) changes in interest rate occur immediately and parallel in the yield curves from assets and liabilities for different maturities.
· | Structural Equity Risk Exposure (Banking Book) |
Grupo Bancolombia’s investment banking affiliate, in its role of financial corporation, has, directly and through its affiliated companies, structural equity investments. These positions are maintained mostly in energy and construction sectors. Smaller positions are held on the financial sector.
Those investments had a 22% decrease in market value, going from COP 337 billion as of December 31st, 2014 to COP 262 billion as of December 31st, 2015.
The structural equity positions are exposed to market risk. Sensitivity calculations are made for those positions:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||||
Market Value | COP | 261,648 | COP | 337,097 | ||||||
Delta | 14.7 | % | 14.7 | % | ||||||
Sensitivity | COP | 38,462 | COP | 49,553 |
A negative impact of 14,7%, apply to the market value, produces a decrease of COP 38 billion on the structural equity investments market value, going from COP 262 billion to 223 billion.

1. | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is defined as the inability of a financial firm to meet its debt obligations without incurring unacceptably large losses. Thus, funding liquidity risk is the risk that a firm will not be able to meet its current and future cash flow and collateral needs, both expected and unexpected, without materially affecting its daily operations or overall financial condition. Banks are sensitive to funding liquidity risk since debt maturity transformation is one of their key business areas.
At Bancolombia, liquidity prevails over any objective of growth or revenue. Managing liquidity has always been a fundamental pillar of its business strategy, together with capital, in supporting its balance sheet strength.
The Bank’s liquidity management model promotes the autonomy of subsidiaries, which must be self-sufficient in their structural funding. Each subsidiary is responsible for meeting the liquidity needs of its current and future activity, within a framework of management coordination at the Group level. The metrics used to control liquidity risk are developed based on common and homogeneous concepts, but analysis and adaptation are made by each subsidiary.
In line with best governance practices, the Bank has established a clear division of function between executing liquidity management, which is the responsibility of the Asset and Liability Division, and their monitoring and control, responsibility of the Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office.
The different authorities of senior management define the policies and guidelines for managing Liquidity Risk. These authorities are the Board of Directors, the Risk Committee, and senior management of the Parent Company, which set the risk appetite and define the financial strategy. The ALCO committees define the objective positioning of liquidity and the strategies that ensure the funding needs derived from businesses. The ALM Division and the Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office support the mentioned committees, which elaborate analysis and management proposals, and control compliance with the limits established.
Liquidity Risks Management Office is responsible for proposing the minimum amount of the liquidity reserve, the policies of the liquidity portfolio, defining premises and metrics in order to model the behavior of the cash flows, proposing and monitoring liquidity limits in line with the Bank's risk appetite, simulating stress scenarios, evaluating and reporting the risks inherent to new products and operations, and submitting the reports required by the internal authorities for decision-making, as well as by regulators. All of the above activities are verified and evaluated by the Internal Audit.
The measures to control liquidity risk include maintaining a portfolio of high liquid assets, and the definition of triggers and liquidity limits, which enable evaluating the level of exposure of each one of the entities in a proactive way.
The methodologies used to control liquidity risk include the liquidity gaps and stress scenarios. The liquidity gaps measure the mismatches of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet position´s cash flows, separately for legal currency and foreign currency. Regulatory metrics are also applied, in which the contractual maturities are used; and internal models in which the cash flows are adjusted by different ratios, for reflecting a more real behavior of them.
Each subsidiary creates their liquidity gap according to the characteristics of their business and they tackle them through the different financing resources they have available. The recurrence of the businesses that are going to be financed, the stability of the financing sources, and the ability of the assets to be converted into liquid are the fundamental factors that are taken into account in the definition of this metric. In practice, and given the different behaviors of a same item in the Bank’s subsidiaries, there are common standards and methodologies to homogenize the construction of liquidity risk profiles for each unit so they can be presented in a comparable way to the Bank's Senior Management.
Periodically, a validation of the policies, limits, processes, methodologies and tools for evaluation liquidity risk exposure is done, in order to establish its pertinence and functionality, and to carry out the necessary adjustments. The Market and Liquidity Risks Management Office elaborate daily, weekly and monthly reports in order to monitor the exposure levels and the limits and triggers set up, and to support the decision-making process.
Each subsidiary has its own liquidity contingency plan, which is tested annually. These contingency plans procure the optimization of different funding sources, among them going to the Parent Company.
2. | Liquidity Risk Management |
The Bank’s Board of Directors sets the strategy for managing liquidity risk and delegates responsibility for oversight of the implementation of this policy to ALCO committee that approves the Bank’s liquidity policies and procedures. The Treasury Division manages the Bank’s liquidity position on a day-to-day basis and reviews daily reports covering the liquidity position. A summary report, including any exceptions and remedial action taken, is submitted regularly to Risk Committee and ALCO committees.
· | Liquidity Risk Exposure: |
In order to estimate liquidity risk, the Bank measures a liquidity coverage ratio to ensure holding “high quality liquid assets” (HQLA) sufficient to cover potential net cash outflows into 30 days. This indicator allows the Bank to meet liquidity coverage for the next month.
The liquidity coverage ratio is presented following:
December 31, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||

3. | CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
The Board of Directors is the maximum organ in capital management, responsible for determining the capital required to withstand the risks of the Bank and define the guidelines for the capital allocation models of the organizations of The Bank, for which it has the support of the Risk Committee.
Aware of the importance of optimizing capital, creating value for the shareholder and maintaining an adequate level of solvency, The Bank has developed a framework of principles and methodologies that allow us to evaluate the risk-return relationship in decision-making. The VAS model (Value Aggregate System) is the system we have adopted that includes risk evaluation, its relation to profit, makes determining prices easier and is the basis for variable remuneration.
The prudent and well-balanced policy for the allocation of capital adopted by The Bank to evaluate risk is designed mainly to cover unexpected losses that could arise from the risks to which it is exposed.
Also, the zone of Risk Appetite was defined for the eight most relevant indicators for the monitoring of risks. In addition, the Appetite Consumption indicator was constructed, which shows the relative measurement between the risk profile of the organization in a determined month and the maximum appetite in all of the indicators.
Finally, there were advances in the initial definition to disaggregate the limits of Risk Appetite: for credit risk by banks and markets, for market and liquidity risk by companies and for operational risk by country.
