(c) Investments in other companies

Valuation of investments by the equity method

i. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Bank. Control exists when the Bank has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its actives. As prescribed by regulations, the financial statements must present investments in subsidiaries by the equity method rather than on a consolidated basis. Transactions that affect the equity of those companies, such as conversion adjustments and unrealized gain or loss on valuation of investments, are recognized in the same manner in the Bank's equity, the effects are recorded in the “Adjustment for valuation of investments in other companies" account.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial figures of the Bank and of the following subsidiaries:

(Continued)

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(d) Foreign currency

i. Foreign currency transactions

Assets and liabilities held in foreign currency are converted to colones at the exchange rate ruling at the consolidated balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currency during the year are converted at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Conversion gains or losses are presented in the consolidated income statement.

ii. Monetary unit and foreign exchange regulations

On October 17, 2006, the Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR) revised the country’s foreign exchange system, replacing mini-devaluations with an adjustable band. Under the new system, the BCCR’s board agreed to establish a rate floor and ceiling, which will be adjusted based on the country’s financial and macroeconomic conditions. In accordance with the Chart of Accounts, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency should be expressed in colones using the reference buy rate published by BCCR. As of March 31, 2014, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars were valued at the exchange rate of ¢538,34 to US$1,00 (¢495,01 and ¢492,72 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 to US$1,00, respectively).

Valuation in colones of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency during the year ended March 31, 2014 gave rise to foreign exchange losses and gains of ¢227.837.079.565 (2013: ¢25.390.507.141) and ¢227.041.284.412 (2013: ¢26.557.883.416), respectively, which are presented net in the consolidated income statement.

Additionally, valuation of other assets and other liabilities gave rise to gains and losses, respectively, which are booked in “Other operating income” and “Other operating expenses”, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2014, valuation of other assets gave rise to gains of ¢617.280.597 (2013: ¢46.781.367) and valuation of other liabilities gave rise to losses of ¢495.377.490 (2013: ¢121.950.737).

March 31, 2014


(Continued)

iii. Financial statements of foreign subsidiaries (BICSA)

The financial statements of BICSA are presented in U.S. dollars, which is its functional currency. Those financial statements were converted to Costa Rican colones as follows:

Assets and liabilities at the closing exchange rate. Income and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during each year. Equity at historical exchange rates, using the exchange rate in effect on the

dates of the transactions.

For the year ended March 31, 2014, the Bank’s investment in BICSA gave rise to a net gain of ¢1.170.429.406 (2013: ¢1.673.893.430), which is included in the consolidated income statement.

For the year ended March 31, 2014, translation of BICSA’s financial statements gave rise to foreign exchange gain of ¢3.818.024.378 (2013: losses for ¢746.127.799), which are presented in equity under the “Adjustment for financial statement translation” account.

(e) Basis of consolidated financial statement preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the fair value basis for available-for-sale assets and trading financial instruments. Other financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are stated at amortized cost or historical cost. The accounting policies have been consistently applied.

(f) Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. The Bank’s financial instruments include primary instruments: cash and due from banks, investments in financial instruments, loan portfolio, other accounts receivable, obligations with the public, obligations with entities, and accounts payable.

- 12 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

(i) Classification

Trading financial instruments are instruments held by the Bank for short-term profit taking. Originated instruments are loans and other accounts receivable created by the Bank providing money to a debtor rather than with the intention of short-term profit taking. Available-for-sale assets are financial assets that are not held for trading purposes, originated by the Bank, or held to maturity. Available-for-sale assets include certain debt securities. In accordance with accounting standards issued by CONASSIF, as of January 1, 2008, investments in financial instruments made by regulated entities are to be classified as available for sale. Own investments in open investment funds are to be classified as trading financial assets. Own investments in closed investment funds are to be classified as available for sale. Until December 31, 2007, SUGEF allowed investments in financial instruments to be classified as held-to-maturity. Entities regulated by SUGEVAL, SUGEF, SUPEN, and SUGESE may classify other investments as trading financial instruments, provided there is an express statement of intent to trade them within 90 days from the acquisition date.

(ii) Recognition The Bank recognizes available-for-sale assets on the date at which the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. From this date, any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the assets are recognized in equity.

- 13 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Held-to-maturity assets and originated loans and other accounts receivable are recognized using settlement date accounting, i.e. on the date they are transferred to the Bank. In 2014 and 2013, the Bank did not classify financial instruments as held to maturity, except for the securities received to capitalize the Bank (see notes 5 and 18).

(iii) Measurement Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, available-for-sale assets are measured at fair value, except that any instrument that does not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured is stated at cost, including transaction costs less impairment losses. All non-trading financial assets and liabilities, originated loans and other accounts receivable, and held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost less impairment losses. Any premium or discount is included in the carrying amount of the underlying instrument and amortized to finance income or expense using the effective interest method. Article 17 of the Accounting Regulations Applicable to Entities Regulated by SUGEF, SUGEVAL, SUPEN and SUGESE and to Non-financial Issuers prescribes available-for-sale classification for investments in financial instruments by regulated entities.

(iv) Fair value measurement principles The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price at the consolidated balance sheet date without any deduction for transaction costs.

- 14 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

(v) Gains and losses on subsequent measurement

Gains and losses arising from a change in the fair value of available-for-sale assets are recognized directly in equity until the investment is considered to be impaired, at which time the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. When the financial assets are sold, collected, or otherwise disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity is transferred to the consolidated income statement.

(vi) Derecognition A financial asset is derecognized when the Bank loses control over the contractual rights that comprise the asset. This occurs when the rights are realized, expire, or are surrendered. A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

The Bank considers cash and due from banks, demand and term deposits, and investment securities that the Bank has the intent to convert into cash within two months or less to be cash and cash equivalents, except for BICSA, which applicable term is 90 days or less.

(h) Investments in financial instruments

Investments in financial instruments are classified as available-for-sale investments which are valued at market prices using the price vector furnished by Proveedor Integral de Precios de Centroamérica, S.A. (PIPCA). In accordance with accounting standards issued by CONASSIF, starting January 1, 2008, the Bank no longer classifies investments in financial instruments as held-to-maturity. However, pursuant to Law No. 8703 “Amendment to Law No. 8627 on the Ordinary and Extraordinary Budget of the Republic for Fiscal Year 2008”, securities received to capitalize State-owned banks are to be classified as held-to-maturity and are not subject to market price valuation.

The effect of market price valuation of available-for-sale investments and restricted financial instruments is included in the equity account with the caption “Adjustment for valuation of available-for-sale investments” until those investments are realized or sold.

- 15 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Regular purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized by the settlement date method, date of delivery in exchange for an asset.

Investments in repurchase agreements (term seller positions) and investment securities with original maturities of less than 180 days are not valued at market prices.

Trading investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss and are acquired with the intention of selling the financial instrument in the immediate future.

Held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortized cost by the effective interest method. In accordance with Law No. 8703, the Bank no longer classifies investments as held to maturity, except investments in financial instruments received to capitalize the Bank.

When a financial asset is acquired with accrued interest, that interest is booked in a separate account as accrued interest receivable.

BICSA’s investments

The fair values of BICSA’s investment securities that are quoted in active markets are based on recent purchase prices. If a security is not quoted in an active market, its fair value is determined by using a valuation technique, such as the use of recent transactions, the analysis of discounted cash flows, and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants. Shares for which fair values cannot be reliably determined are measured at cost less impairment losses.

(i) Loan portfolio

The Bank loan portfolio SUGEF defines credits as any operation formalized by a financial intermediary irrespective of the type of underlying instrument or document, whereby the intermediary assumes the risks of either directly providing funds or credit facilities or guaranteeing that their customer will honor its obligations with third parties. Credits include loans, factoring, purchases of securities, guarantees in general, advances, checking account overdrafts, bank acceptances, interest, open letters of credit, and preapproved lines of credit.

- 16 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

The loan portfolio is presented at the value of outstanding principal. Interest on loans is calculated based on the outstanding principal and contractual interest rates and is accounted for as income on the accrual basis of accounting. The Bank follows the policy of suspending interest accruals on loans with principal or interest that is more than 180 days past due.

BICSA loan portfolio

Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are originated by BICSA providing money, goods, or services directly to a borrower without the intention of selling the loan.

(j) Allowance for loan losses

The Bank loan portfolio

The loan portfolio is valued in accordance with provisions established in SUGEF Directive 1-05 “Regulations for Borrower Classification”, which was approved by CONASSIF on November 24, 2005, published in Official Gazette No. 238 on Friday, Octuber 9, 2005, and became effective on October 9, 2006. Loan operations approved for individuals or legal entities with a total outstanding balance exceeding ¢65.000.000 (Group 1 under SUGEF Directive 1-05) are classified by credit risk. This classification takes into account the following considerations:

Creditworthiness, which includes an analysis of projected cash flows, an analysis of

financial position, consideration for experience in the line of business, quality of management, stress testing for critical variables, and an analysis of the creditworthiness of individuals, regulated financial intermediaries, and public institutions.

Historical payment behavior, which is determined by the borrower’s payment

history over the previous 48 months, considering servicing of direct loans, both current and settled, in the National Financial System as a whole. SUGEF calculates the level of historical payment behavior for borrowers reported by entities during the previous month.

- 17 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Arrears

Pursuant to the aforementioned Directive, collateral may be used to mitigate risk for purposes of calculating the allowance for loan impairment. The market value of collateral should be considered and adjusted at least once annually. The percentage of acceptance of collateral is also a mitigating factor. Collateral must be depreciated six months after the most recent appraisal. Risk categories are summarized below:

Risk

category

Arrears Historical payment

behavior Creditworthiness

A1 30 days or less Level 1 Level 1 A2 30 days or less Level 2 Level 1 B1 60 days or less Level 1 Level 1 or Level 2 B2 60 days or less Level 2 Level 1 or Level 2 C1 90 days or less Level 1 Level 1, Level 2 or C2 90 days or less Level 2 Level 3

D 120 days or less Level 1 or Level 2 Level 1, Level 2,

Level 3 or Level 4

Remaining loan operations, for which the borrower’s total outstanding balance is less than ¢65.000.000 (Group 2 under SUGEF Directive 1-05), are classified in the following categories based on historical payment behavior and arrears:

Risk category

Arrears Historical

payment behavior Creditworthiness

A1 30 days or less Level 1 Level 1 A2 30 days or less Level 2 Level 1 B1 60 days or less Level 1 Level 1 or Level 2 B2 60 days or less Level 2 Level 1 or Level 2

C1 90 days or less Level 1 Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3

C2 90 days or less Level 2 Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3

D 120 days or less Level 1 or Level

2 Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 or Level 4

March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Borrowers are to be classified in risk category E if they fail to meet the conditions for classification in risk categories A through D mentioned above, are in bankruptcy, a meeting of creditors, court protected reorganization procedure, or takeover, or if the Bank considers classification in such category to be appropriate. Until December 31, 2013, allowance percentages for each borrower risk category are as follows:

Risk category Allowance Percentage

A1 0,5% A2 2% B1 5% B2 10% C1 25% C2 50% D 75% E 100%

Pursuant to SUGEF Directive 1-05: "Regulation for qualifying Debtors", as of January 1, 2014, the Bank must maintain a minimum amount of allowance resulting from the sum of generic and specific allowances, calculated in accordance with the Transitory XII. The generic allowance will be equal to 0.5% of the total due balance, corresponding to the loan portfolio classified in A1 and A2 risk categories, without reducing the effect of mitigators of loan operations which apply to contingent claims. The specific allowance is calculated on the covered and uncovered portion of each loan. The allowance on the exposed portion is equal to the total outstanding balance of each loan transaction minus the weighted adjusted value of the relevant security. The resulting amount is multiplied by the percentage that corresponds to the risk category. The allowance on the covered of each credit operation is equal to the amount corresponding to the covered part of the operation, multiplied by the appropriate percentage.

- 19 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Specific allowance percentages for each borrower risk category are as follows:

Risk category

Specific allowance percentage on the uncovered portion of the loan

Specific allowance percentage on the covered portion of the loan

A1 0% 0% A2 0% 0% B1 5% 0,5% B2 10% 0,5% C1 25% 0,5% C2 50% 0,5% D 75% 0,5% E 100% 0,5%

Until December 31, 2013, as an exception in the case of risk category E, the minimum allowance for loans to a borrower whose historical payment behavior is rated as level 3 is to be calculated as follows:

BICSA allowance for loan impairment

BICSA first assesses whether there is any objective evidence of impairment for financial assets that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If BICSA determines that there is no objective evidence of impairment for a financial as set assests individually, irrespective of whether the financial asset is individually significant, the asset is collectively tested for impairment by grouping it together with financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Assets that are individually tested for impairment and for which an impairment loss has been previously recognized are not collectively tested for impairment.

When a loan is considered to be uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance for loan impairment. Such loans are derecognized after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been determined. Subsequent recovery of any amounts previously derecognized results in a credit to the allowance.

If in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement through an adjustment to the allowance.

Management considers the allowance for loan impairment to be sufficient. The regulatory authority periodically reviews the allowance for loan impairment as an integral part of its audits. The regulatory authority may require that additional allowances are recognized based on its evaluation of information available as of the date of the audits. As of March 31, 2014, a consolidated allowance has been booked for ¢47.517.515.641 (¢44.222.064.420 and ¢45.757.246.945 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively).

BICSA Accounts and accrued interest receivable

In order to assess the allowance for accounts and accrued interest receivable, BICSA applies the criteria mentioned in the section on the allowance for loan impairment.

- 22 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

(k) Securities sold under repurchase agreements

The Bank enters into sales of securities under repurchase agreements for a certain date in the future at a fixed price. The obligation to repurchase securities sold is reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet and stated at the value of the original agreement. The underlying securities are held in asset accounts. Finance expense recognized is calculated by the effective interest method. Interest is presented as finance expense in the consolidated income statement, and accrued interest payable in the consolidated balance sheet.

(l) Accounting for accrued interest receivable

Interest receivable is accounted for on the accrual basis. Under current regulations, interest accrual is suspended on loan operations that are more than 180 days past due. Accrued interest receivable on those loans is recorded when collected. BICSA does not suspend interest accrual.

(m) Other receivable

The recoverability of these accounts is assessed by applying criteria similar to those established by SUGEF for the loan portfolio. If an account is not recovered within 120 days from the due date or the date booked, an allowance is created for 100% of the outstanding balance. Accounts with no specified due date are considered payable immediately. BICSA applies the criteria mentioned in the section on the allowance for loan impairment.

(n) Foreclosed assets

Foreclosed assets are assets owned by the Bank for realization or sale. Included in this account are assets acquired in lieu of payment, assets adjudicated in judicial auctions, assets purchased to be leased under finance and operating leases, goods produced for sale, idle property and equipment, and other foreclosed assets.

Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. If fair value is less than the cost booked in the accounting records, an impairment allowance must be booked for the amount of the difference between both values. Cost is the historical acquisition or production value in local currency, these assets should not be revalued or depreciated for accounting purposes, and they are to be booked in local currency. The cost booked in the accounting records for a foreclosed asset may only be increased by the amount of improvements or additions, up to the amount by which they increase the asset’s realizable value. Other expenditures related to foreclosed assets are to be expensed in the period incurred.

- 23 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

The net realizable value of an asset should be used as its fair value, net realizable value is determined by applying strictly conservative criteria and is calculated by subtracting expenses to be incurred on the sale of the asset from its estimated selling price. The estimated selling price of the asset is determined by an appraiser (independent from the Bank and the borrower) based on current market conditions. Future expectations for market improvements are not considered and it is assumed that the assets must be sold in the shortest period of time possible to enable the Bank to recover the money invested and use it for its business activities. For all foreclosed assets, the Bank should have reports from the appraisers who made the appraisals and those reports are to be updated at least annually.

If an asset booked in this group is used by the Bank, it should be reclassified to the appropriate account in the corresponding group.

Pursuant to article 20-b of SUGEF Directive 1-05, regulated entities are required to book an allowance for retired assets and for foreclosed assets that were not sold or leased under operating or finance leases within two years from the acquisition or production date for an amount equivalent to the carrying amount of the assets. The allowance must be established gradually by booking one-twenty-fourth of the value of such assets each month until the allowance is equivalent to 100% of the carrying amount of the assets, without exception. The booking of the allowance shall begin at month-end of the month in which the asset was i) acquired, ii) produced for sale or lease, or iii) retired from use.

(o) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated financial statements when the Bank has a legal right to set off the recognized amounts and intends to settle on a net basis.

(p) Property and equipment

(i) Own assets

Property and equipment (buildings, furniture, and equipment) is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both tax and financial purposes. Leasehold improvements are amortized straight line over a period of sixty months, starting the month after the deferred charge is booked. Leasehold improvements are amortized solely at the end of the term of the lease agreement. When the lessor or the Bank notifies the other party that it does not intend to renew the lease at the end of the original lease term or extension, the remaining balance is amortized over the remainder of the lease term.

- 24 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Pursuant to requirements established by regulatory authorities, the Bank must have its real property appraised by an independent appraiser at least once every five years, in order to determine its net realizable value. If the realizable value is less than the carrying amount, the carrying amount must be adjusted to the appraisal value.

(ii) Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the Bank assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. At the beginning of the lease term, this is recognized in the statement of financial position, as an asset and a liability by the same amount, the fair value of the leased assets, or the present value of minimum lease payments, if this were the lowest between the present value of the stipulated payments in the contract discounted at the interest rate implicit in the operation, determined at the beginning of the lease. To calculate the present value of the minimum payments by the lease, is taken as a discount factor the interest rate implicit in the lease, wherever practicable to determine; otherwise the incremental interest rate of the tenant loans is used. Any initial direct cost of the tenant will be added to the amount recognized as an asset.

(iii) Subsequent cost

Costs incurred to replace a component of an item of property and equipment are capitalized and accounted for separately. Subsequent costs are only capitalized when they increase the future economic benefits. All other costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement when incurred.

(iv) Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization are charged to the income statement on the straight-line method using the annual depreciation rates established for tax purposes. When appraisals made by independent appraisers determine that the technical useful life is less than the remaining useful life calculated using applicable rates for tax purposes, the technical useful life is to be used. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

- 25 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Useful lives of assets owned by the Bank and subsidiaries, except BICSA

Building 50 years Vehicles 10 years Furniture and equipment 10 years Computer hardware 5 years Improvements 5 years

Useful lives of assets owned by BICSA Buildings 40 years Furniture and equipment 3 to 5 years Computer hardware 3 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years

(v) Revaluation

At least every five years financial entities should evaluate the real estate by appraisals, stating the net realizable value of the property. If the realizable value of the assets is different than the one included in the accounting registers, the Bank must adjust the book value to the resulting value of the appraisal. These assets are depreciated by the straight line method for financial and tax purposes, based on the expected life of the respective assets. The last appraisal was done on January 2011 and the accounting register on April 29, 2011.

(q) Deferred charges

Deferred charges are valued at cost and stated in local currency. These charges are not subject to revaluations or adjustments.

(r) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired by the Bank are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

- 26 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

As of March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Bank recognizes amortization expense on goodwill acquired on shares, which will be amortized over 5 years in accordance with the Accounting Regulations Applicable to Entities Regulated by SUGEF, SUGEVAL, SUPEN, and SUGESE and to Non-financial Issuers. Amortization of IT systems is charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful life is five years. Subsequent expenditures or disbursements are capitalized only when they increases the future economic benefits; otherwise are recognized on results as incurred.

(s) Impairment of assets

The carrying amount of an asset is reviewed at each consolidated balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statement for assets carried at cost, and treated as a decrease in revaluation surplus for assets recorded at revalued amounts, until the amount of the surplus of the specific asset is sufficient to absorb the impairment loss. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is equivalent to the value obtained in an arm’s length transaction. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows and disbursements derived from continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. If in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after impairment loss was determined, the loss is reversed through the consolidated income statement or consolidated statement of changes in equity, as appropriate.

- 27 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Pursuant to SUGEF regulations, the Bank is to obtain a report from an independent appraiser at least every five years indicating the net realizable value of real property (land and buildings) for use that has a net carrying amount in excess of 5% of the entity’s equity. If the net realizable value of the assets appraised, taken as a whole, is less than the corresponding net carrying amount, the carrying amount is to be reduced to the appraisal value by adjusting assets that are significantly overstated. The decrease in the value of real property for use is taken against account “331 – Adjustments for revaluation of assets”. In cases where an entity is aware of a significant overstatement in the carrying amount of one or more assets, regardless of the cause of the reduction in their value and/or the useful life originally assigned, the entity must hire an appraiser to perform a technical appraisal, immediately notify SUGEF of the results, and book the applicable adjustments in the accounting records.

(t) Accounts payable and other payables

Accounts payable and other payables are recognized at cost.

(u) Provisions

A provision is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet if, as a result of a past event, the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. The provision made approximates settlement value; however, final amounts may vary. The estimated value of provisions is adjusted at the consolidated balance sheet date, directly affecting the consolidated income statement.

Severance benefits Costa Rican legislation requires to the Bank and its subsidiaries domiciled in Costa Rica payment of severance benefits to employees dismissed without just cause, equivalent to seven days’ salary for employees with three to six months of service, 14 days salary for employees with between six months to one year of service, and compensation in accordance with the Employee Protection Law for those with more than one year of service. In the specific case of the Bank, this limit is increased to twenty months for personnel who have worked for more than twenty years and for those who have fewer years, it corresponds to seniority in the Solidarity Association up to twenty months.

March 31, 2014


(Continued)

In February 2000, the Employee Protection Law was enacted and published. Such law modifies the existing severance benefit system and establishes a mandatory supplemental pension plan, thereby amending several provisions of the Labor Code. Pursuant to the Employee Protection Law, all public and private employers must contribute 3% of monthly employee salaries during the entire term of employment. Contributions are collected through the Costa Rican Social Security Administration (CCSS) and are then transferred to pension fund operators selected by employees The Bank follows the practice of transferring to the Employees Association the severance benefits corresponding to each employee based on the employee’s current salary. From severance obligation, amounts not transferred to the Solidarity Association are provisioned as stated in the Collective Agreement, according to the article 29 subsection 3 and the laws of the country, where only 50% is provisioned for the employee belonging to the Association. By agreement of the Board of Directors, session 30-12 of July 30, 2012, it was agreed that 100% provision should be accrued from November 2012 thereafter. The Bank pension, retirement and outgoing personnel

A fund was created by Law No. 16 of November 5, 1936, which has been amended on a number of occasions. The most recent amendment was included in Law No. 7107 of October 26, 1988. Pursuant to Law No. 16, the fund was established as a special wage protection and retirement system for the Bank’s employees. The fund is comprised of allotments established by the laws and regulations related to the fund, and monthly contributions made by the Bank and employees equivalent to 10% and 0,5% of total wages and salaries, respectively. As of October 1, 2007, this fund is managed by BCR Pensión Operadora de Planes de Pensiones Complementarias, S.A. (subsidiary) under a comprehensive management agreement. The Bank’s contributions to the fund are considered to be defined contribution plans. Consequently, the Bank has no additional obligations.

BICSA retirements savings plan for employees

BICSA offers its employees defined contribution pension plans in accordance with the conditions and practices in the jurisdictions where it operates. Under those plans, BICSA contributes specified amounts to a fund managed by a third party, and is under no legal obligations to make additional contributions in the event the fund has insufficient assets to pay employees their benefits. BICSA has adopted a voluntary retirement savings plan in which BICSA contributes twice the amount contributed by employees, up to a maximum of 10% of monthly salaries. As of March 31, 2014, the contributions made by BICSA and subsidiary under this plan amounted to ¢74.754.969, which is equivalent to US$138.862 (¢339.374.896, which is equivalent to US$685.592 and ¢72.071.632, which is equivalent to US$146.273 as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively).

BICSA years-of-service premium and indemnity for employees

Under Panamanian labor law, companies are required to establish a severance fund to guaranty payment of a years-of-service premium and indemnity to eligible employees on resignation or dismissal without just cause. To create the fund, quarterly contributions equivalent to 1,92% of salaries paid in the Republic of Panama are made to cover the years-of-service premium, while monthly contributions equivalent to 5% are made to cover the indemnity. Quarterly contributions are to be placed in a trust. As of March 31, 2014, the severance fund has a balance of ¢323.468.049, equivalent to US$600.862. (¢290.703.038, equivalent to US$587.267 and ¢305.600.711 equivalent to US$620.232 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) and is presented in the consolidated financial statements as prepaid expenses.

(v) Legal reserve

According to Article 12 of the Organic Law of the National Banking System the Bank sets aside 50% of net earnings after income tax to increase its Legal Reserve. The Bank’s subsidiaries, except BICSA, appropriate 5% of their earnings after taxes to a legal reserve.

(w) Revaluation surplus

Revaluation surplus included in equity may be transferred directly to prior period retained earnings when the surplus is realized. The whole surplus is realized on the retirement, disposal, or use of the asset. The transfer of revaluation surplus to prior period retained earnings should not be made through the consolidated income statement. The Bank was authorized by SUGEF to capitalize revaluation surplus by increasing share capital.

(x) Use of estimates Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, profit or loss, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes are related to the determination of the allowance for loan impairment.

(y) Recognition of main revenue and expenses

(i) Financial income Financial income and expense is recognized in the consolidated income statement as it accrues considering the effective yield or interest rate. Financial income and expense includes amortization of any premium or discount during the term of the instrument and until its maturity, and is calculated on an effective interest basis.

(ii) Fees and commissions income

When loan origination fees are generated, they are taken against effective yield, provided income exceeds costs incurred to generate those fees, and they are deferred over the loan term. Service fees and commissions are recognized when the services are rendered. In the case of other commissions related to the provision of services, these are recognized when the service is provided.

(iii) Net income on trading securities

Net income on trading securities includes gains and losses arising from sales and from changes in the fair value of trading assets and liabilities.

(iv) Operating lease expenses Payments for operating lease agreements are recognized in the consolidated income statement over the term of the lease.

(z) Income tax

Pursuant to the Income Tax Law, the Bank and its subsidiaries are required to file their income tax returns for the twelve months ending December 31 of each year. (i) Current:

Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the consolidated balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

(ii) Deferred:

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. In accordance with this method, temporary differences are identified as either taxable temporary differences (which result in future taxable amounts) or deductible temporary differences (which result in future deductible amounts). A deferred tax liability represents a taxable temporary difference, while a deferred tax asset represents a deductible temporary difference. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent there is a reasonable probability that it will be realized. BICSA’s Miami branch is subject to state and federal income taxes in the United States of America. Income tax expense is determined by using the separate currency pools method, as described in Section 1.882-5 of the U.S. Treasury Department Regulations.

(aa) BICSA financial leases

BICSA’s financial lease operations mainly consist of leases for transportation, machinery, and equipment. Average lease terms are between 36 and 60 months. Lease receivables represent the present value of future lease payments. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is presented as unearned income, which is recognized in profit or loss over the life of the lease.

(bb) The Bank pension, retirement and outgoing personnel

A fund was created by Law No. 16 of November 5, 1936, which has been amended on a number of occasions. The most recent amendment was included in Law No. 7107 of October 26, 1988. Pursuant to Law No. 16, the fund was established as a special wage protection and retirement system for the Bank’s employees. The fund is comprised of allotments established by the laws and regulations related to the fund, and monthly contributions made by the Bank and employees equivalent to 10% and 0,5% of total wages and salaries, respectively. As of October 1, 2007, this fund is managed by BCR Pensión Operadora de Planes de Pensiones Complementarias, S.A. (subsidiary) under a comprehensive management agreement. The Bank’s contributions to the fund are considered to be defined contribution plans. Consequently, the Bank has no additional obligations.

(cc) Statutory allocations

Under article 12 of IRNBS, the net earnings of commercial State-owned banks are allocated as follows: 50% to a legal reserve; 10% to increase the capital of the National Institute for Cooperative Develabond (INFOCOOP); and the remainder to increase the Bank’s capital, pursuant to article 20 of Law No. 6074. Transition provision III of Law No. 8634 “Development Banking System” establishes that for a five-year period starting in 2007, the contributions made by State-owned banks equivalent to 5% of their annual net earnings (prescribed by article 20 of the Law for the Creation of the National Commission for Educational Loans (CONAPE) will be allocated as follows: 2% to CONAPE and 3% to the capital of the Development Financing Fund (FINADE). On January 2013 transitory III is removed and will continue calculating a 5% for Conape, in accordance with law 9092, National Comissions for Educational Loans.

Suit filed against BICR

Until 2004, Banco Internacional de Costa Rica, S.A. (BICR) was a subsidiary of BICSA Corporación Financiera, S.A. The latter entity (holding) merged with Banco Internacional de Costa Rica, S.A. (Panama) in September 2005, which was involved in a legal process filed by TELESIS, S.A. related to a condemnatory resolution against BICR based on an ordinary civil process to discuss unfulfillments related to a software contract subscribed by the parties. In 1989, the court action was estimated by the plaintiff at US$192.000. In September 2002, the plaintiff claimed US$12.595.684, plus interest accrued until the payment date, plus other legal expenses. As part of legal above mentioned process, BICR interposed a prescription appeal which was stayed by the Second Civil Court of San José, first Section, issued ruling No. 408 on November 16, 2004, which upheld the defense motion filed by BICR. With this ruling, BICR is released from further payment obligations. TELESIS, S.A. filed a formal appeal to overturn the ruling by the Second Civil Court.

Therefore this final resolution, BICR recovered the amount of US$2.096.804 from Banco Nacional de Costa Rica in 2007, entity which later absorbed BICR operations and other group subsidiaries due such amount constituted a reserve created to face possible contingencies.

To handle its defense in the above-mentioned case, BICR hired three Costa Rican attorneys through an agreement that clearly stipulated the fees to be paid by BICR in exchange for litigation services. BICR promptly paid the full amount due under the agreement; however, the attorneys filed a claim for fees payment in the amount of ¢501.134.949 (approximately US$967.704), plus 2% monthly interest (¢70.845.379 (approximately US$136.804) that had been paid as of July 23, 2007). This file was processed by the First Board of Appeal of the Supreme Chamber under an action of this nature interposed by claimants, because its action was overruled in first and second instance recognizing the validity and effectiveness of the professional services contract signed by BICR and aforementioned lawyers. The Court resolution of April 12, 2013 summoned the parties to appear before the First Civil Court, which was carried on April 18, 2013.

The scope of the claim amounts to ¢707.639.319 (approximately US$1.366.468 since interest, penalties and fines were eliminated from the transfer of the original charges. The transfer of charges originated in treatment by the current tax administration of certain items of expenditure and income differently from the previously authorized and notified in writing by the Tax Administration to BICR and other banks of the Costa Rican banking system. BICR challenged charges transfer arguing among other things that the settlement of tax in those years was conducted in accordance with guidelines issued directly from that Directorate.

(Continued)

The agreements subscribed by the Pension Fund Manager are found in chapter II of the Employee Protection Law, articles 14, 15, and thereafter. The applicable agreement is known as “Voluntary Supplemental Pension Plan Affiliation Agreement”.

Following is a general description of the nature of the agreements subscribed:

The Employee Protection Law puts mechanisms in place to expand coverage and strengthen the funding base for the Disability, Old Age, and Death System of CCSS through supplemental pension funds. The aforementioned Law establishes a voluntary personal savings system, whereby contributions are recorded and controlled by the Centralized Collection System of CCSS, or directly by pension fund operators. A close relationship exists between the funds, plans, and agreements, the latter being a formal requirement for eligibility to access pension funds. The agreements define and stipulate the rights and obligations of both parties.

The funds are separate equity funds administered by pension fund operators for a stated purpose, i.e. long-term savings to be used by the member as a supplemental pension fund. The funds are comprised of voluntary contributions from members and third-party contributors. The plans are a set of complementary conditions and benefits offered to plan beneficiaries.

As of March 31, 2014, the financial obligations include ¢16.183.846.277 (¢14.883.713.175 and ¢14.816.937.262 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) for subordinated obligations. Where practicable, the following assumptions were used by management to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument both on and off the consolidated balance sheet:

a) Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, accounts receivable,

demand deposits and customer savings deposits, accrued interest payable, and other liabilities.

The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

b) Investments in financial instruments

The fair value of available-for-sale financial instruments is based on quoted market prices or prices quoted by brokers.

c) Securities sold under repurchase agreements

The carrying amount of funds owed under repurchase agreements maturing in one year or less approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

March 31, 2014


(Continued)

d) Loan portfolio

Management determined the fair value of the loan portfolio by the discounted cash flow method.

e) Term deposits and loans payable

Management determined the fair value of term deposits and loans payable by the discounted cash flow method.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific date, based on relevant market information and information concerning the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale a particular financial instrument at a given point in time. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Estimates could vary significantly if changes are made to those assumptions.

(35) Segments

The Bank has defined its business segments based on the administrative and reporting structure, and on the structure of banking, stock brokerage, investment and pension fund management, and insurance brokerage services it provides.

(36) Risk managment

The Bank has exposure to the following risks from financial instruments: credit risk liquidity risk market risk, which includes:

- interest rate risk - currency risk - inflation risk - Price risk of financial assets of the investment portfolio

operational risk. The Financial Risk Division, through the Market Risk Office and Balance Sheet Risk Office, is responsible for identifying and measuring the risk of investment portfolios as well as interest rate, currency, and liquidity risks, respectively. For such purposes, all types of risks to which the Bank is exposed are monitored by those Offices on an ongoing basis by using a mapping procedure, and risks are classified based on their severity or impact and their frequency or probability of occurrence. Policies and procedures for managing market and liquidity risks are also update formalized through the design of specific manuals that describe the applicable methodologies used. This activity has been extended to the Bank’s subsidiaries: Puesto de Bolsa, Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Inversión, Operadora de Pensiones y Corredora de Seguros, S. A., same as the BCR Financial Congromerate.

Following is a description of how the Bank manages the above risks. a) Credit Risk

This is the risk that the borrower or issuer of a financial asset will not comply, fully and on time, with repayment of any obligation due to the Bank according to the terms and conditions established at the time the Bank acquired or originated the financial asset. Credit risk is mainly related to the loan portfolio and investments in financial instruments (see notes 5 and 6). Management of credit risk on investments is represented by the carrying amount of the assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The Bank also has exposure to credit risk for off-balance sheet credits, such as commitments, letters of credit, sureties, and guarantees.

- 109 -




(Continued)

The Bank monitors credit risk on an ongoing basis through reports on the status of the current loan portfolio and its classification. Credit analyses include periodic assessments of the financial position of customers, an analysis of the country’s economic, political, and financial environment, and the potential impact on each sector. For such purposes, a thorough understanding is obtained of customers on an individual basis and their ability to generate cash flows that enable them to honor their debt commitments.

Risk management policies establish the following limits to mitigate credit risk:

Arrears limit

The balance of the portfolio more than 90 days past due may not exceed the percentage of the total current portfolio set by the General Board of Directors based on its level of risk aversion.

Foreign currency limit

The Bank establishes a limit on the portfolio of customers who do not generate cash flows in U.S. dollars with consideration for allowances and equity.

BCR Valores, S.A. (The Brokerage Firm) may invest 100% of its foreign currency holdings in instruments issued by the Government of Costa Rica, BCCR, or State-owned banks. It may also invest 30% of its portfolio in international public securities issued by G7 countries in equivalent and non-equivalent markets, with the full backing of the State and A to AAA ratings from at least two of the following rating agencies: Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, and Moody’s.

In coordination with the Brokerage Firm and the Investment Fund Manager, every six months the Bank presents an analysis of the ratings of private issuers and authorizes investments.

BCR Pensión Operadora de Pensiones Complementarias, S.A. (The Pension Fund Manager) may invest in local issuers, such as the Ministry of Finance, BCCR, non-financial State-owned institutions, public and private financial entities, private companies, and investment vehicles such as investment funds and securitizations with a risk rating of A or higher, depending on the equivalency terms used by the Pensions Superintendency. Eligible assets must have a short-term risk rating of at least P-3, A-3, F3, R3, or AMB-3 from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investor Services, Fitch Ratings, Dominion Bond Rating, or A.M. Best, respectively.

Amount Limit

The Prudential Standard issued by SUGEF establishes a maximum limit for the Bank’s total lending operations with an individual or legal entity or individuals comprising a Bank-related group. Specifically, SUGEF Directive 5-04 sets the maximum limit for economic interest groups. This notwithstanding, a maximum limit has been set at the internal level for the Bank’s total lending operations with individuals comprising a Bankrelated group. That limit is more restrictive than the limit defined by SUGEF. Sector Limit The Bank defines an ideal portfolio structure by sector to achieve a level of diversification that is consistent with the growth strategy or with the risk appetite defined in that strategy. Such “ideal” loan portfolio structure will be reviewed at least once annually, which shall not preclude other reviews at the request of the Board of Directors, Credit Committee, or Risk Committee. The appropriate committees appointed by the Board of Directors periodically monitor the financial position of borrowers and issuers involving credit risk for the Bank. The Bank has established certain credit risk management procedures, which are summarized below. Methodologies used to control credit risk include those imposed by the current Prudential Standard and methodologies developed by the Credit Risk Office, with consideration for best practices, as follows: Application of the models is limited to:

Credit approval: Development of parametric analysis models for extending credit to companies and the respective determination of the risk classification, as well as assignment of interest rates based on that classification, with consideration for both quantitative and qualitative management aspects.

(Continued)

Early warning: Simulation models are used to estimate portfolio performance under a specific expected scenario and to facilitate implementation of corrective action. This permits an analysis of the performance of loan arrears in the event of changes in macroeconomic variables such as income and interest rate. In the case of the loan portfolio in U.S. dollars extended to customers who do not generate cash flows in that currency, the reaction of loan arrears to increases in the exchange rate is also analyzed.

Credit risk model:

For a quantitative analysis of the consolidated loan portfolio by activity, by the Commercial Banking Division, and by currency, the Bank uses a Credit Risk Model to determine average payment losses, probability of arrears, expected losses, and Value at Risk (VaR). From these results, the Bank can anticipate loss margins associated with credit risk. All of these indicators are part of a dynamic process aimed at achieving an increasing level of maturity in credit risk management.

Foreign exchange impact measurement model:

This model measures the impact of exchange rate volatility on the loan portfolio in foreign currency placed with customers defined as non-generators of cash flows in foreign currency. This report is segregated by individuals and legal entities.

Credit management information:

As of March 31, 2014, the allowance for loan losses amounted to ¢33.670 million (¢31.434 million and ¢35.925 millon as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). As of the same date, the capital adequacy requirement (CAR) is above 10% (the SUGEF minimum limit), considering credit risk, price risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, and currency risk.

As of March 31, 2014, the rate of arrears greater than 90 days is 2,26% (2,20% and 2,5% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). This indicator is 0,74 percentage points (0,8 and 0,5 percentage points as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) below the maximum limit permitted by SUGEF to be considered normal levels. The value of this indicator reflects the importance of risk-based management exercised by the Bank for the loan portfolio combined with ambitious underwriting targets.

- 112 -




(Continued)

As of March 31, 2014, the portfolio in U.S. dollars represented 42,41% (41,14% and 37,76% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) of the total portfolio. Growth in the loan portfolio has been strategically controlled so as to only attract customers with an acceptable risk profile. The established limit for extending credit in U.S. dollars to customers who do not generate cash flows in that currency is periodically monitored. Concentration by customer or economic interest group has been controlled by establishing limits. The Bank’s regulations set a maximum limit on loans to an individual or legal entity or economic interest group at 10% of the Bank’s equity. This limit may be lower, depending on the number of activities carried out by the economic interest group. Percentages above that limit may be approved by a unanimous vote in favor by the Credit Committee. In the case of private financial groups, this amount should represent at least 10% of the income of the group. Finally, SUGEF sets a maximum limit of 20% of equity for economic interest groups. Although there is a relative concentration in 2014 in sectors like trade (15,90%), housing (23,90%), services (19,30%), and consumer loans (12,50%) (trade (16,01% and 17,16%), housing (24,70% and 25,97%), services (17,50% and 16,43%) and sonsumer loans (13,20% and 14,10%), respectivily), limits on annual growth by sector have been enforced in order to achieve a loan portfolio structure in the medium and long term that suits the risk appetite defined by senior management. This forces the Bank to effectively manage collections and to monitor its portfolio more closely. In order to monitor each segment of the loan portfolio using the beta model, starting 2011, the Bank tracks credit risk indicators such as expected losses, average probability of payment, and VaR based on limits approved by the General Board of Directors for current loans and loans more than 90 days past due by sector, division, regional management office, and branch. At the balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Individually assessed loans with allowance:

According to regulations established in SUGEF Directive 1-05, all loan operations are assigned a risk classification and the applicable allowance percentages are determined based on that classification. Individually assessed loans with allowance are loan operations for which, after considering the guarantee for the loan, a balance remains to which the allowance percentage determined by the risk category assigned by the Bank will be applied.

Past due loans without allowance:

Past due loans without allowance correspond to loan operations with a guarantee for at least the outstanding balance due to the Bank. Accordingly, no allowance is established.

Restructured loans:

Restructured loans are those for which the Bank has changed the original contractual terms due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial position and where the Bank has made concessions that it would not otherwise consider. Once the loans are restructured, they remain in this category irrespective of any strengthening of the borrower’s financial position after the restructuring. Following are the various types of restructured loans.

a. Extended loan: Loan operation in which at least one full or partial payment of principal or interest due under the current contractual terms has been postponed.

b. Modified loan: Loan operation in which at least one of the current contractual repayment terms has been modified, excluding extensions, additional payments not included in the loan repayment schedule, additional payments to reduce the amount of installments, and a change in the currency used, while respecting the original loan maturity date.

c. Refinanced loan: Loan operation in which at least one payment of principal or interest is made fully or partially with the proceeds of another loan extended to the borrower or to an individual from its economic interest group by the same financial intermediary or any other entity of the same financial group or conglomerate. In the event of full settlement of the loan, the new loan operation is considered to be refinanced. In the event of partial settlement, both the new and existing loan operations are considered to be refinanced.

Loan write-off policy:

The Bank writes off a loan (and any allowance for loan impairment) when it determines the loan to be uncollectible based on an analysis of significant changes in the financial conditions of the borrower preventing the borrower from meeting the payment obligation, or when it determines that the guarantee is insufficient to cover the entire amount of the loan facility granted. For standard loans with smaller balances, write-offs are generally based on the level of arrears of the loan granted.

Allowance for loan impairment:

Borrower classification

The Bank must classify its borrowers into the following two groups:

a. Group 1: Borrowers with total outstanding balances due to the Bank that

exceed the SUGEF limit.

b. Group 2: Borrowers with total outstanding balances due to the Bank that are less than or equal to the SUGEF limit.

For purposes of borrower classification, the following should be considered when calculating total outstanding balances:

a. Balances of back-to-back operations and the portion of bonds, sureties, and

letters of credit covered by a previous deposit are excluded; and b. The stand-by principal balance should be treated as a credit equivalent.

Risk categories

The Bank must individually classify its borrowers in one of eight risk categories, identified as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, and E, with category A1 as the lowest credit risk and category E as the highest credit risk.

Analysis of borrower’s creditworthiness

The Bank must define effective mechanisms to determine the creditworthiness of borrowers in Group 1. Based on whether the borrowers are individuals or legal entities, those mechanisms should enable the Bank to evaluate the following:

a. Financial position and expected cash flows: Analysis of the stability and

continuity of main sources of income. The effectiveness of the analysis depends on the quality and timeliness of information.

b. Experience in the line of business and quality of management: Analysis of

management’s ability to lead the business with appropriate controls and adequate support from the owners.

c. Business environment: Analysis of the main sector variables that affect the

borrower’s creditworthiness. d. Vulnerability to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates:

Analysis of the borrower’s ability to confront unexpected adverse changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

e. Other factors: Analysis of other factors that affect the borrower’s

creditworthiness. In the case of legal entities, considerations include, but are not limited to, environmental issues, technological aspects, development and operating licenses and permits, representation of products or foreign offices, relationships with significant customers and suppliers, sales agreements, legal risks, and country risk (the latter in the case of foreign-domiciled borrowers). In the case of individuals, borrower characteristics taken into consideration may include marital status, age, level of education, profession, and gender.

When a borrower has been assigned a risk rating by a rating agency, that rating should be an additional consideration when evaluating the borrower’s creditworthiness.

(Continued)

The Bank must classify the borrower’s creditworthiness into 4 levels: level 1 has the ability to pay, level 2 - has minor weaknesses in ability to pay, level 3 - has serious weaknesses in ability to pay, and level 4 - has no ability to pay. For purposes of this classification, the borrower and co-borrower(s) must be assessed jointly. Joint classification of creditworthiness may only be used to determine the allowance percentage for operations in which the parties are borrower and co-borrower. For the borrower the sum of total balances owed to the Bank is greater than the limit set by the supervising entity. Unconsolidated financial statements are required to qualify the payment capacity at Level 1.

Analysis of historical payment behavior

The Bank must determine a borrower’s historical payment behavior based on the level assigned by SUGEF’s Credit Information Center (CIC).

The Bank must classify historical payment behavior into 3 levels: (level 1) good historical payment behavior, (level 2) acceptable historical payment behavior, and level 3 - poor historical payment behavior.


Borrowers in Group 1 are to be classified by the Bank in accordance with evaluation parameters for arrears, historical payment behavior, and creditworthiness. Borrowers in Group 2 are to be classified in accordance with parameters for arrears and historical payment behavior, as follows:

Risk

category Allowance Percentage

Arrears

Historical payment Creditworthiness

A1 0,5% 30 days or less Behavior A2 2% 30 days or less Level 1 Level 1 B1 5% 60 days or less Level 2 Level 1 B2 10% 60 days or less Level 1 Level 1 or Level 2 C1 25% 90 days or less Level 2 Level 1 or Level 2 C2 50% 90 days or less Level 1 Level 1, Level 2, or

(Continued)

In all cases, borrowers without valid authorization for a credit check through SUGEF’s CIC cannot be classified in risk categories A1 to B2. Likewise, borrowers with at least one loan operation purchased from a financial intermediary domiciled in Costa Rica and regulated by SUGEF must be rated for at least one month in the category of greatest risk between the rating assigned by the selling bank and the rating assigned by the buying bank at the time of the purchase.

Direct classification in risk category E

The Bank must classify borrowers in risk category E who do not meet the conditions to be classified in any of the risk categories defined above, are in bankruptcy, a meeting of creditors, a court protected reorganization procedure, or takeover, or if the Bank considers classification in this risk category to be appropriate. Minimum allowance

Until December 31, 2013, the structural allowance is equivalent to the total outstanding balance of each loan operation less the weighted adjusted value of the corresponding guarantee, multiplying the resulting amount (or resulting balance) by the allowance percentage corresponding to the risk category of the borrower or co-borrower classified in the category of lowest risk. If the result of this calculation is negative or zero, the allowance is zero. If the total outstanding balance includes a stand-by principal balance, the credit equivalent indicated below should be considered.

The adjusted amount of guarantees must be weighted at 100% when the borrower or co-borrower with the lowest risk category is classified in category C2 or lower, at 80% when classified in category D, and at 60% when classified in category E.

Until December 31, 2013, allowance percentages based on borrower risk category are as follows:

Risk category Allowance percentage A1 0,5% A2 2% B1 5% B2 10% C1 25% C2 50% D 75% E 100%

Pursuant to SUGEF Directive 1-05: "Regulation for qualifying Debtors", as of January 1, 2014, the Bank must maintain a minimum amount of allowance resulting from the sum of generic and specific allowances, calculated in accordance with the Transitory XII. The generic allowance will be equal to 0.5% of the total due balance, corresponding to the loan portfolio classified in A1 and A2 risk categories, without reducing the effect of mitigators of loan operations which apply to contingent claims. The specific allowance is calculated on the covered and uncovered portions of each loan (credit operation). The allowance on the exposed portion is equal to the total outstanding balance of each loan transaction less the weighted adjusted value of the relevant security. The resulting amount is multiplied by the percentage that corresponds to the risk category. The allowance on the covered portion of each loan (credit operation) is equal to the amount corresponding to the covered part of the operation, multiplied by the appropriate percentage. The classification categories and percentages of specific allowance for each category are as follows:

Risk category

Specific allowance percentage on the uncovered portion of the

loan

Specif allowance percentage on the covered portion of the loan

A1 0% 0% A2 0% 0% B1 5% 0,5% B2 10% 0,5% C1 25% 0,5% C2 50% 0,5% D 75% 0,5% E 100% 0,5%

Until December 31, 2013, as an exception in the case of risk category E, the minimum allowance for loans to a borrower whose historical payment behavior is rated as level 3 should be calculated as follows:

In compliance with SUGEF Directive 1-05, as of March 31, 2014, the Bank must maintain a structural allowance in the amount of ¢33.987.423.747 (corresponding to direct loans for ¢33.867.205.970 and stand-by credits for ¢120.217.777). As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the minimum structural allowance amounted to ¢31.135.553.174 and ¢33.364.294.155, respectively (corresponding direct loans for ¢30.934.747.789 and ¢32.802.487.302, respectively and stand-by loans for ¢200.805.385 and ¢561.806.853). SUGEF External Circular Letter 02 1-2008 dated May 30, 2008 indicates that the expense for the allowance for loan losses corresponds to the amount necessary to achieve the minimum structural allowance. Furthermore, there must be a duly documented technical justification for any excess above the minimum structural allowance, which is to be sent to SUGEF with the authorization request. The excess may not surpass 15% of the minimum required allowance for the loan portfolio. This notwithstanding, if any additional allowances are required above the 15%, they must be taken from net earnings for the period pursuant to article 10 of IRNBS.

(Continued)

As of March 31, 2014, BICSA’s allowance for loan impairment amounts to ¢13.480.091.692 (¢12.558.567.865 and ¢9.005.070.426 as of December 31, 2013 and March 2013, respectively).

Credit equivalent

The following stand-by loan operations must be converted to credit equivalents based on the credit risk they represent. The credit equivalent is obtained by multiplying the balance of the stand-by principal by the credit conversion factor as follows:

a) bid bonds and export letters of credit without prior deposit: 0,05; b) other sureties and guarantees without prior deposit: 0,25; and

c) Pre-approved lines of credit: 0,50.

Allowance for other assets

Allowances should be established for the following assets:

a. Accounts and accrued interest receivable unrelated to loan operations based on arrears calculated from the first day overdue or the date booked in the accounting records, as follows:

Arrears Allowance percentage

30 days or less 2% 60 days or less 10% 90 days or less 50% 120 days or less 75%

More than 120 days 100%

b. The allowance must be established gradually by booking one-twenty-fourth of the value of such assets each month until the allowance is equivalent to 100% of the carrying amount of the assets, without exception. The booking of the allowance shall begin at month-end of the month in which the asset was i) acquired, ii) produced for sale or lease, or iii) retired from use.

Guarantees:

Collateral: The Bank accepts collateral guarantees – usually mortgages or chattel mortgages – to secure its loans. The value of collateral is determined by an appraisal made by an appraiser who determines the estimated fair value of land and buildings based on comparable market offerings and prior appraisals made by the appraiser.

Personal: The Bank also accepts sureties from individuals or legal entities. The Bank evaluates the guarantor’s ability to honor the debt obligations on the borrower’s behalf, as well as the integrity of the guarantor’s credit history.

The Bank conducts strict credit analyses and requires collateral from its borrowers. As of March 31, 2014 59% of the loan portfolio is secured by mortgage or chattel mortgage (59% and 58% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively).

Pursuant to SUGEF Directive 5-04: "Regulations on Credit Limits to Individual Persons and Economic Interest Groups", the Bank debugs information on reported data of economic interest groups as part of their responsibility to identify significant administrative and stockholder’s equity relationships among debtors with total active operations. As of March 31, 2014, groups of borrowers (members) having operations that add 2% or more of adjusted capital and in groups report 5% or more of adjusted capital, are reported.

b) Liquity risk Liquidity risk arises when a financial entity is unable to honor its commitments or obligations with third parties due to insufficient cash flows resulting from a mismatch between the term that assets are recovered (lending operations) and the term that obligations are due (borrowing operations). Pursuant to risk definitions included in SUGEF Directive 2-10 “Regulations for Comprehensive Risk Management”, liquidity risk is the risk of monetary losses due to a shortage of funds causing a financial entity to be unable to honor its obligations in accordance with the respective contractual terms. Liquidity risk may also be associated with a specific financial instrument, in which case the risk relates to the financial depth of the market in which the instrument is traded with the intention of putting or calling the instrument without significant changes in the instrument’s value. Liquidity risk can result in potential losses due to premature or forced sales of assets, such as investment portfolios, in order to fulfill commitments, or when a position cannot be liquidated, acquired, or hedged in a timely manner by offsetting with an equivalent position. The main objective of the Bank’s liquidity policy is to ensure that the Bank is able to honor its payment and disbursement commitments under any circumstances with its own resources, without incurring high costs or experiencing a loss of profitability. The following variables are considered to minimize liquidity risk: volatility of deposits, debt levels, liability structure, asset liquidity, availability of financing, and general effectiveness of term gaps. With the implementation of this policy, the Bank has had during the years 2014 to 2007 strict control over the liquidity index, according to the methodology established by the General Superintendence of Financial Entities (SUGEF); as well as in the use of internal models that facilitate the control of liquidity to calibrate the amount necessary to bring the business operations in order to minimize the opportunity costs associated, to the point of these reports to be automated and delivered on a weekly basis with sophisticated programs offered by a tool known as MatLab from Mathworks®

The Bank has access to different sources of funding, including term deposits, the liquidity market, the foreign exchange market, standardized bond issues, and repurchase operations. The Bank periodically reviews its liquidity limits based on its expected growth in order to manage liquidity risk. Once that risk is determined, stress testing is done to help manage the risk. Information obtained during stress testing is reviewed and approved by the Risk Committee. Liquidity and financing risk is monitored daily by the Treasury Area and actual results versus approved limits are presented to and discussed monthly with the Asset and Liability Committee. The gap report (rate-sensitive assets and liabilities) in local currency presents the difference in recovered assets less matured liabilities as of March 31, 2014 of ¢744.962.463.340 (¢857.137.934.177 and ¢860.633.367.907 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). In foreign currency, that difference amounts to ¢281.434.538.592 (¢321.525.201.724 and ¢350.538.375.742 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), which shows improvements in the balances due to positive changes in interest rates, since the Bank’s assets exceed its liabilities in both currencies. With respect to term matching (sum of liquidity of assets and liabilities), as of March 31, 2013 the total in local currency is ¢289.560.177.949 (¢312.123.268.584 and ¢336.429.782.208 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) and foreign currency is ¢116.291.315.309 (¢116.717.030.287 and ¢89.126.489.776, as of Decemebr 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). This demonstrates that the Bank has the necessary liquidity to meet its current liability commitments. Liquidity management is evaluated periodically by updating six-month projected cash flows on a daily basis (which is being computerized using an in-house application, providing lower operational risk in data management) and preparing the one-month and three-month term matching report. The Bank also uses the Miller-Orr cash balance optimization model prepared jointly by Financial Risk Management and the Bank’s Treasury on a semimonthly basis. In essence the model raises the determination of the upmost point of return that shows how to provide local and foreign currency cash through the minimization of costs, not been possible to estimate cash flows due to the contingency of both currencies quotations. Treasury funds fluctuate up to the upper limit at which point the purchase of securities brink the balance back to regular level. When fluctuations bring cash balances down for the entity to cash investments to recover the balance. Results of those operations are fortnight monitored by the Treasury and the results are present to the Assets and Liabilities Committee to monitor liquidity and to review the limits when necessary

These elements are considered in the liquidity management policies, which are extensively followed by the Treasury and Marketing Risk Management. The models are adjusted for the volatility of the inputs that feed cash flows, such as checking and savings accounts.

As of March 31, 2014, the Bank has a one-month term matching adjusted for volatility of 1,19 times (1,47 and 1,24 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). Normal levels have thus been maintained given that applicable regulations require a level of 1 time or higher.

This indicator has decreased inter annually by -4,03% (decrease by -10,08% and increase by 16,36% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), which evidences the efforts from the Treasury to increase the liquidity to less than a month, without inconvenience of keeping normal levels required by the regulator. It is noteworthy that the use of Eurobonds in the amount of US$500 million allowed the restructuring of short-term liabilities to long-term, providing more freedom to manage three month matching of terms. This change results from inter annual increase in the maturities of 30-day liabilities in foreign currency for ¢23.248 million, (increase for ¢26.368 milion and ¢50.901 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), increases in the maturities of demand liabilities in local currency ¢83.719 million (¢168.778 and ¢172,116 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) and increases in obligations with the public in local currency for ¢77.833 million (¢120.251 million and ¢133.212 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). The latter two items in foreign currency increased by ¢113.172 million (increases ¢61.541 million and ¢26.470 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) and ¢99.657million (increase for ¢14.636 million and decrease for ¢48.184 millon as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), respectively. Additionally, recovery of 30-day assets in local currency increased inter annually by ¢26.099 million (¢91.855 and ¢19.200 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respetively), and the recovery of demand assets in foreign currency increased by 27.667 million (increase for ¢19.545 millon and ¢30.419 million as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), which explains the results obtained by the December 2011 close. These variations in the items used to calculate the indicator of the CAMELS table evidence liquidity close to regulatory limits, as the numerator components have increased by 15,09% (22,47% and 35,38% as of December 31, 2013 and march 31, 2013, respectively) versus an inter annual increase of 19,53% (36,20% and 16,35% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) in the denominator components. This suggests stricter monitoring of liquidity management by the Bank.

(Continued)

As of December 31, 2013, the three-month matching of terms adjusted for volatility is 0,98 times (0,97 and 0,89 times as of Decemebr 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) which is equivalent to a increase of 10,11%.(2,46% and 7,23% as of Decemebr 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). Accordingly, the level is normal, pursuant to regulations that define “normal” as 0,85 times or greater. This increased in the indicator is the result of an inter annual increase in the numerator of 17,32% (23,69% and 21,86% as of Decmeber 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) and an increase in the denominator 6,88% (20,72% and 14,14% as of Decemebr 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively) behaviors that draw attention to the study period justifying the figures obtained, since the growth of liabilities is 10,44% greater than the assets. Those indicators have been sensitized with computer techniques and stress testing that weekly monitor the behavior of liquidity according to terms (in two installments) to avoid deviations according to CAMELS.

c) Market risk

Market risk analyzes interest rate and currency risks, which determine the price of financial assets. As a result of considerations related to the banking system as a whole, the Bank is required to apply the following definitions of country risk and price risk included in article 3 of SUGEF Directive 2-10:

Country risk: Risk assumed by holding or committing resources in a foreign country and resulting from potential difficulties on the recovery of such resources due to factors affecting the foreign country as a whole. Country risk comprises “sovereign risk” and “transfer risk”. Transfer risk is defined as the possibility that official restrictions will prevent a debtor from honoring the debt commitments, even though sufficient funds are available. Sovereign risk is assumed on loans extended to a State or Government and is the risk of difficulties arising from enforcing the repayment of debt by the borrower or other party responsible for payment due to sovereignty.

Price risk: Possibility of monetary loss due to adverse changes in market prices of financial instruments.

The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposure within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

Market risk is the risk of potential losses due to an adverse change in the aforementioned market variables that determine the Bank’s value.

VaR is also tracked by applying the RiskMetrics methodology to the Bank’s investment portfolio using the new SAP-TRM IT platform, which permits consolidating the correlations of the different risk factors, such as yield curves and foreign exchange rates, in order to determine a more robust VaR.

Market risk management

For purposes of market risk management, the Bank and its subsidiaries use the SAP system, which offers several methodologies for VaR analysis. VaR is defined as the maximum expected loss over an objective time horizon, within a given confidence interval. Specifically, follow-up is provided by calculating exposure to market risk. Of the methodologies offered by the IT system, the delta-normal methodology is the most frequently used, which applies a one-month holding period (21 business days) and a confidence level of 99%.

This permits more precise calculations since it shows the distribution of expected losses and determines the value of those losses. It also shows the greatest loss scenarios and thus makes it possible to hedge part of the unexpected risk. The analysis is more robust if a region of confidence is obtained, which provides certainty as to the worst loss in the market value of the portfolios. The Bank is currently gathering a representative sample for back-testing purposes. In applying the stress testing with SPA-TRM to the whole portfolio of the Banks funds beneath four different scenarios, the following chart show results: The following chart shows the information at March 31, 2014:

(Continued)

The Bank´s Board of Directors has determined that market risk should be managed and monitored dirfectly by the Risk Commnittee, wich is comprised of representative of the entities of the financial conglomerate.

Market risk exposure

The Bank and its subsidiaries use VaR limits to monitor the price risk of their investment portfolios. The structure of the VaR limits is subject to review and approval by the Board of Directors. Those limits are based on the corresponding limits of the trading portfolio. VaR is measured at each month-end. Reports on the VaR limits are sent to the Risk Committee and the Assets and Liability Committee.

i. Interest risk

Interest rate risk, as defined in SUGEF Directive 2-10, is the risk of monetary losses due to adverse variations in interest rates.

The Bank is sensitive to this type of risk due to the mix of rates and terms for both assets and liabilities. This sensitivity is mitigated by managing variable interest rates and ensuring matched asset and liability positions. The effect may vary due to a number of factors, including prepayments, late payments, fluctuations in interest rates, and foreign exchange rate variations.

The Bank’s Risk Committee periodically monitors this risk in the Strategic/ Tractic Risk Committes.

SUGEF Directive 24-00 “Regulations for Determining the Economic and Financial Status of Regulated Entities” defines interest rate risk as exposure to losses due to fluctuations in interest rates when asset and liability terms are mismatched and the entity does not have the required flexibility to make a timely adjustment.

According to SUGEF Directive 24-00, the interest-rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities is evaluated by determining term gaps and the interest rate risk indicator. As of March 31, 2014, the interest rate risk indicator in local currency was 0,24% (1,07% and 1,90% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), which means that the Bank is still at a normal level (applicable regulations require a value of 5% or less). In foreign currency, this indicator is on the order of -0,03% (-0,02% and 0,06% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). The Bank is getting further from the 5% maximum due to growing local interest rates and the current historical lows of the U.S. dollar, which value may decrease in the second half of 2014.

ii. Currency risk

Pursuant to SUGEF Directive 2-10, currency risk is the risk of monetary losses due to adverse changes in foreign exchange rates. This risk also arises when net foreign exchange differences do not proportionally offset the changes in the value of assets denominated in foreign currency, causing a decrease in an entity’s capital adequacy indicator. Currency risk may also result in increased credit risk in the event of default by borrowers that hold loans in a foreign currency in which they do not generate cash flows, as a result of variations in foreign exchange rates. In October 2006, BCCR introduced a foreign exchange adjustable band system. Since then, the exchange rate had remained consistently at the floor of that band. However, with the significant band adjustment that occurred starting May 2008, the Bank’s management has decided to take a neutral foreign currency position with the purpose of protecting the Bank from any variation in the exchange rate and, meanwhile, is watching developments in the foreign exchange market. The Bank’s foreign currency position is monitored daily by the Market Risk Area. Currently this position has been eliminated given the high uncertainty from the political point of view as to the decision of moving the system floor. Through written communication CCAP 02-13 of January 16, 2013´s meeting, the Assets and Liabilities Corporate Committee, in its Article 9 decided by determined period to skip this limit so the Treasury can count on an own minimum level position in order to prevent exchange losses in the case of a variation of the band floor. The Bank’s foreign currency position is monitored daily by the Market Risk Area. As of March 31, 2014, the Bank is in a normal level of currency risk, in accordance with the provisions of regulations, since the indicator is a 1,16%% (0,30% and 0,17% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), and consideration of “normal” establishes the indicator must be less or equal to a 5%. The increase of foreign exchange risk in 582.35% finds its genesis in the beginning of the volatility of this macro price for the first quarter of 2014, with a level of appreciation of 8.80% to closure. The above by pull factors such as reducing incentives used by the Federal Reserve in the last quarter and decreases in direct foreign investment. The data of the Central Bank show that, in 2013, the sector received-between new investments and reinvestments-US$528 million, down 12% compared to 2012. In 2010, the direct foreign investment in this sector had the greatest historical investment with US$790 million and from that year began to decrease.

(Continued)

The above is reflected in the Monte Carlo simulations prepared by Financial Risk Management as of March 31, 2014, where in the event of a variation in the exchange rate of 0,183% (0,29% as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013) and applying the Garch methodology to this variable, equity sensitive to this type of risk would be reduced by ¢1.292.361.751 (¢1.920.065.713 and ¢1.024.425.980 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively), with a confidence level of 99% over a period of one year.

(Continued)

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are valued by using the reference buy rate established by BCCR on the last business day of each month. As of March 31, 2014, that rate was ¢538,34 per US $1,00 (¢495,01 and ¢492,72 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). Net exposure is not hedged. However, the Bank considers its position to be acceptable since it can buy or sell U.S. dollars in the market when necessary.

The Bank incurs currency risk when the value of its dollar-denominated assets and liabilities is affected by exchange rate variations, which is recognized in the consolidated income statement. For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the consolidated financial statements show a net foreign exchange loss of ¢795.795.153 and a net foreign exchange gain ¢1.167.376.275, respectively. The sensitivity analysis for currency risk is mainly considered for measuring the position in a specific currency. The analysis consists of verifying each month how much the position in the functional currency would represent with respect to the currency it would be converted into and, therefore, the mix of the currency risk. The analysis performed by the Bank is described below.

d) Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss associated with the Bank’s processes, personnel, technology, and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, market, and liquidity risks, such as those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behavior. This is an inherent risk for the sector in which the Bank operates and for all of its main activities. This risk may take various forms, particularly failures, errors, business interruptions, or inappropriate employee conduct, and may result in financial losses, sanctions imposed by regulatory authorities, or damage to the Bank’s reputation. The Bank’s objective is to manage operational risk in order to minimize financial losses and damage to the Bank’s reputation, as well as to achieve efficient and effective processes and optimize its internal control system. The primary responsibility for the development and implementation of controls to address operational risk is assigned to senior management in each business and support unit. Periodic reports are submitted to the Risk Committee and, where appropriate, to the Executive Committee and General Board of Directors.

- 159 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

This responsibility is supported by the development of standards or specific regulations for the management of operational risk included in the following areas:

- Corporate Policies for Integrated Risk Management. - Corporate Regulation for Integrated Risk Management.

To manage operational risk both qualitative and quantitative methods are used. The first are performed by:

- Assessment of risks by strategic objectives - Assessment of substantial process risks

These assessments are made based on the framework, which involves development of management plans for the risks identified, as well as informing the appropriate committees of the results of the assessments and follow-up. The Bank has also defined:

appropriate segregation of duties, including the independent authorization of

transactions. requirements for effective reconciliation and monitoring of transactions. compliance with regulatory and legal requirements. documentation of controls and procedures; periodic assessments of operational risk management and effective controls

and procedures for the risks identified. monthly reporting of operational losses and proposed remedial action. development of the contingency plan. development of training activities for Bank personnel. application of standards of business ethics. development of risk mitigation activities, including security policies. communication and application of corporate conduct guidelines. risk mitigation, including insurance where this is effective; comprehensive planning for resuming activities, including plans to restore key

operations and internal and external support to ensure that services are not interrupted.

- 160 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

These policies established by the Bank are supported by a program of periodic reviews undertaken by Internal Audit. The results of Internal Audit reviews are discussed with management of each business unit, with summaries submitted to the Bank’s Audit Committee and Risk Department. In turn, the quantitative assessment of operational risk is made through the Exponential Smoothing Methodology, which projects losses. A maximum limit has been issued for operational risk losses with respect to equity.

Capital management: Regulatory capital Based on the CAR defined in recent SUGEF regulations, as of March 31, 2014, the Bank’s risk-weighted assets amount to ¢2.510.320 million (¢2.269.715 and ¢1.990.336 as of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively). The Bank’s capital must always comply with the CAR established by SUGEF, which require that banks maintain a ratio of at least 10% at all times. That ratio is calculated by dividing the Bank’s base capital by total riskweighted exposures. Management periodically monitors these requirements and reports to the Board of Directors on compliance. As of March, 31 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Bank’s CAR is above the minimum ratio (10%) required by applicable regulations. A directive has been issued by the Board of Directors requiring that the CAR not fall below 11%.

(39) Transition to International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

Through various resolutions, CONASSIF (the Board) agreed to partial adoption starting January 1, 2004 of IFRSs promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In order to regulate application of those Standards, the Board issued the Terms of the Accounting Regulations Applicable to Entities Regulated by SUGEF, SUGEVAL, SUPEN, and SUGESE and to Nonfinancial Issuers and approved a comprehensive revision of those regulations on March 17, 2007 the Council adopted a comprehensive reform of the “Accounting regulations/standards applicable to supervised entities by SUGEF, SUGEVAL, SUPEN and SUGESE and non-financial issuers”.

On May 11, 2010, the Board issued private letter ruling CNS 413-10 to revise the Accounting Regulations Applicable to Entities Regulated by SUGEF, SUGEVAL, SUPEN, and SUGESE and to Non-financial Issuers (the Regulations), which mandate application by regulated entities of IFRSs and the corresponding interpretations issued by the IASB in effect as of January 1, 2008, except for the special treatment indicated in Chapter II of the aforementioned Regulations. Pursuant to the Regulations and in applying IFRSs in effect as of January 1, 2008, any new IFRSs or interpretations issued by the IASB, as well as any other revisions of IFRSs adopted that will be applied by regulated entities, will require the prior authorization of the Board. As part of the regulations, and applying NIIF (IFRS) effective to January 2008, the issue of new NIIF (IFRS) or interpretations issued by the IASB, and any changes to the NIIF (IFRS) adopted supervised entities applying, will require previous authorization from the National Council of Supervision of the Financial System (CONASSIF). Following are some of the main differences between the accounting standards issued by the Board and IFRSs, as well as the IFRSs or interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRICs) yet to be adopted:

a) IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements

The presentation of financial statements required by the Board differs in some respects from presentation under IAS 1. Following are some of the most significant differences:

- 179 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

SUGEF Standards do not allow certain transactions, such as clearing house balances, gains or losses on the sale of financial instruments, income taxes, etc. to be presented on a net basis. Given their nature, IFRSs require those balances to be presented net to prevent assets and liabilities or profit or loss from being overstated.

b) Revised IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements

The revised Standard introduces the term total comprehensive income, which represents changes in equity during a period other than those changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Total comprehensive income may be presented in either a single statement of comprehensive income (effectively combining both the statement of operations and all non-owner changes in equity in a single statement), or in a statement of operations and a separate statement of comprehensive income. Revised IAS 1 became mandatory for 2009 financial statements. These changes have not been adopted by the Board.

c) IAS 7: Statement of Cash Flows

The Board has only authorized preparation of the cash flow statement using the indirect method. The direct method is also acceptable under IAS 7.

d) IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates, and Errors

In some cases, SUGEF has authorized the booking of notices of deficiencies received from Tax Authorities against prior period retained earnings.

e) IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment

The Standard issued by the Board requires the revaluation of property through appraisals made by independent appraisers at least once every five years, eliminating the option to carry these assets at cost or to revalue other types of assets.

Furthermore, SUGEF permits the conversion (capitalize) of the surplus revaluation directly in equity shares (only for state banks), without having to relocate previously to retained earnings, as required by IAS 16.

Moreover, under IAS 16, depreciation continues on property, plant and equipment, even if the asset is idle. The Standard issued by the Board allows entities to suspend the depreciation of idle assets and reclassify them as foreclosed assets.

- 180 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

f) IAS 18: Revenue

The Board has allowed regulated financial entities to recognize loan fees and commissions collected prior to January 1, 2003 as revenue. Additionally, the Board has permitted the deferral of 25%, 50%, and 100% of loan fees and commissions for transactions completed in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively. IAS 18 prescribes deferral of 100% of those fees and commissions over the loan term.

The Board has also allowed deferral of the net excess of loan fee income minus expenses incurred for activities such as assessment of the borrower’s financial position, evaluation and recognition of guarantees, sureties, or other collateral instruments, negotiation of the terms of the instrument, preparation and processing of documents, and settlement of the operation. IAS 18 does not allow deferral on a net basis of loan fee income. Instead, it prescribes deferral of 100% of loan fee income, and permits the deferral of only certain incremental transaction costs, rather than all direct costs. Accordingly, when costs exceed income, loan fee income is not deferred, since the Board only allows the net excess of income over expenses to be deferred. This treatment does not conform to IAS 18 and IAS 39, which prescribe separate treatment for income and expenses (see comments on IAS 39).

g) IAS 21: The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

The Board requires that the financial statements of regulated entities be presented in colones as the functional currency.

h) IAS 27: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

The Board requires that the financial statements of a parent be presented separately, measuring its investments by the equity method. Under IAS 27, a parent is required to present consolidated financial statements. A parent need not present consolidated financial statements when the ultimate or any intermediate parent of the parent produces consolidated financial statements available for public use, provided certain other requirements are also met. However, in this case, IAS 27 requires that investments be accounted for at cost.

- 181 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

In the case of financial groups, the holding company must consolidate the financial statements of all of the companies of the group in which it holds an ownership interest of twenty-five percent (25%) or more, irrespective of control. For such purposes, proportionate consolidation should not be used, except in the consolidation of investments in joint arrangements.

Amended IAS 27 (2008) requires accounting for changes in ownership interests by the Bank in a subsidiary, while maintaining control, to be recognized as an equity transaction. When the Bank loses control of a subsidiary, any interest retained in the former subsidiary will be measured at fair value with the gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The amendments to IAS 27 became mandatory for the Bank’s 2010 consolidated financial statements. These amendments have not been adopted by the Board.

i) IAS 28: Investments in Associates

The Board requires consolidation of investments in companies in which an entity holds twenty-five percent (25%) or more equity interest, irrespective of any considerations of control. Such treatment does not conform to IAS 27 and IAS 28.

j) Revised IAS 32: Financial Instruments: Presentation

Revised IAS 32 provides new guidelines clarifying the classification of financial instruments as liabilities or equity (e.g. preferred shares). SUGEVAL determines whether those shares fulfill the requirements of share capital.

k) Amendments to IAS 32: Financial Instruments – Presentation and IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements – Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation

The amendments to the Standards require puttable instruments and instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation to be classified as equity if certain conditions are met. These changes have not been adopted by the Board.

- 182 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

l) IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

SUGEF prescribes recognition of a provision for possible losses on contingent assets. This type of provision is prohibited under IAS 37.

m) IAS 38: Intangible Assets

The commercial banks listed in article 1 of Internal Regulations National Banking System (Law No. 1644) may present organization and installation expenses as an asset in the balance sheet, however, those expenses must be fully amortized on the straight-line method over a maximum of five years. This is not in accordance with IAS 38.Automated applications must be amortized systematically by the straight line method during the period expected to produce economic benefits for the entity, which cannot exceed five years. Similar procedure and term must be used for the amortization of goodwill acquired. IAS 38 allows different methods to distribute the depreciable amount of an asset in a systematic way, over the lifetime. The lifespan of the automated applications could be higher to five years as established by the norms and regulations of CONASSIF. On the other hand, IFRS do not require that goodwill is amortized; it requires to be assessed for impairment annually.

n) IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

The Board requires that the loan portfolio be classified pursuant to SUGEF Directive 1-05 and that the allowance for loan impairment be determined based on that classification. It also allows excess allowances to be booked. IAS 39 requires that the allowance for loan impairment be determined based on a financial analysis of actual losses. IAS 39 also prohibits the booking of provisions for contingent accounts. Any excess allowances must be reversed in the income statement.

Revised IAS 39 introduced changes with respect to classification of financial instruments, which have not been adopted by the Board. The revised version includes the following changes:

- 183 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

The option of classifying loans and receivables as available for sale was

established.

Securities quoted in an active market may be classified as available for sale, trading, or held to maturity.

The “fair value option” was established to designate any financial instrument to be

measured at fair value through profit or loss, provided a series of requirements are met (e.g. the instrument has been measured at fair value since the original acquisition date).

The category of loans and receivables was expanded to include purchased loans

and receivables that are not quoted in an active market.

The Board has also allowed capitalization of direct costs incurred for assessment of the borrower’s financial position, evaluation and recognition of guarantees, sureties, or other collateral instruments, negotiation of the terms of the instrument, and preparation and processing of documents, net of income from loan fees. However, IAS 39 only permits capitalization of incremental transaction costs, which are to be presented as part of the financial instrument and may not be netted against loan fee income (see comments on IAS 18).

Regular purchases and sales of securities are to be recognized using the settlement date accounting only.

Depending on the type of entity, financial assets are to be classified as follows:

a) Pooled portfolios

Investments in pooled investment funds, pension and retirement savings accounts, and similar trusts are to be classified as available for sale.

b) Own investments of regulated entities

Investments in financial instruments of regulated entities are to be classified as available for sale.

Own investments in open investment funds are to be classified as trading financial assets. Own investments in closed investment funds are to be classified as available for sale.

- 184 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Entities regulated by SUGEVAL and SUGEF may classify other investments in financial instruments as trading investments, provided there is an express statement of intent to trade them within 90 days from the acquisition date.

Banks regulated by SUGEF may not classify investments in financial instruments as held to maturity.

The above classifications do not necessarily adhere to the provisions of IAS 39.

The amendment to IAS 39 clarifies the existing principles that determine whether specific risks or portions of cash flows are eligible for designation in a hedging relationship. The amendments to IAS 39 became mandatory for 2010 financial statements, with retrospective application. This amendment has not been adopted by the Board.

o) IAS 40: Investment Property

IAS 40 allows entities to choose between the fair value model and the cost model to measure their investment property. The Standard issued by the Board only allows entities to use the fair value model to measure this type of assets, unless clear evidence for determining the fair value of the assets is unavailable.

p) Revised IFRS 3: Business Combinations

The revised Standard (2008) incorporates the following changes:

The definition of a business has been broadened, which is likely to result in more

acquisitions being treated as business combinations.

Contingent consideration will be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes therein recognized in profit or loss.

Transaction costs, other than share and debt issue costs, will be expensed as

incurred.

Any pre-existing interest in the acquirer will be measured at fair value, with the related gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.

- 185 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

Any non-controlling (minority) interest will be measured at either fair value, or at its proportionate interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquirer, on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

Revised IFRS 3, which became mandatory for 2010 financial statements, will be applied prospectively. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

q) IFRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Board requires that an allowance be booked for 100% of the carrying amount of assets that have not been sold within two years. IFRS 5 requires that such assets be recorded and measured at the lower of cost or fair value, discounting the future cash flows of assets to be sold in more than one year. Accordingly, assets could be understated, with excess allowances.

r) Amendments to IFRS 7: Financial Instruments – Disclosures

In March 2009, the IASB issued certain amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure, which requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements and liquidity risk in respect of financial instruments.

The amendments require that fair value measurement disclosures use a three-level fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in measuring fair values of financial instruments. Specific disclosures are required when fair value measurements are categorized as Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) in the fair value hierarchy. The amendments require that any significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy be disclosed separately, distinguishing between transfers into and out of each level. Furthermore, changes in valuation techniques from one period to another, including the reasons therefor, are required to be disclosed for each class of financial instruments.

Further, the definition of liquidity risk has been amended and it is now defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The amendments require disclosure of a maturity analysis for non-derivative and derivative financial liabilities, but contractual maturities are required to be disclosed for derivative financial liabilities only when contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of cash flows. For issued financial guarantee contracts, the amendments require the maximum amount of the guarantee to be disclosed in the earliest period in which the guarantee could be called. These amendments have not been adopted by the Board.

- 186 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

s) IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 deals with classification and measurement of financial assets. The requirements of this Standard represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets. The Standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. The Standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available for sale, and loans and receivables. For an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, the Standard permits an irrevocable election, at initial recognition, on an individual share-by-share basis, to present all fair value changes in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date.

The Standard requires that derivatives embedded in contracts with a host contract that is a financial asset within the scope of the standard not be separated; instead the hybrid financial instrument is assessed in its entirety as to whether it should be measured at amortized cost or fair value.

This Standard requires entities to determine whether presenting the effects of changes in the credit risk of a liability designated at fair value through profit or loss would create an accounting mismatch based on facts and circumstances at the date on which the financial liability is initially recognized. The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

t) IFRS 10: Consolidated Financial Statements

This Standard provides a revised control definition and an application guidance therefor. This IFRS supersedes IAS 27 (2008) and SIC 12, Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities, and is applicable to all investees.

Early application is permitted. Entities that apply this IFRS earlier must disclose that fact and apply IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (as amended in 2011), and IAS 28 (as amended in 2011) simultaneously.

- 187 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

An entity is not required to make adjustments to the accounting for its involvement with an investee when entities that were previously consolidated or unconsolidated in accordance with IAS 27 (2008), SIC 12, and this IFRS, continue to be consolidated or continue not to be consolidated.

When application of this IFRS results in an investor consolidating an investee that is a business that was not previously consolidated, the investor must:

1) determine the date when the investor obtained control of that investee on the basis

of the requirements of this IFRS; and

2) measure the assets, liabilities, and no-controlling interests as if acquisition accounting had been applied from that date.

If (2) is impracticable, then the deemed acquisition date must be the beginning of the earliest period for which retroactive application is practicable, which may be the current period.

The Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

u) IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements

This Standard was issued in May 2011 with an effective date of January 1, 2013. The Standard addresses the inconsistencies in the accounting for joint arrangements and requires a single accounting treatment for interests in jointly controlled entities. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

v) IFRS 12: Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

This Standard was issued in May 2011 with an effective date of January 1, 2013. This Standard requires an entity to disclose information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of its interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, structured entities, and “off balance sheet” activities. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

- 188 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

w) IFRS 13: Fair Value Measurement

This Standard was issued in May 2011 and clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a single procedure for measuring fair value, and defines the measurements and applications required or permitted by IFRSs. This Standard is to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Earlier application is permitted. This Standard has not been adopted by the Board.

x) IFRIC 10: Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment

This Interpretation prohibits the reversal of an impairment loss recognized in a previous interim period in respect of goodwill, an investment in an equity instrument, or a financial asset carried at cost. IFRIC 10 applies to goodwill, investments in equity instruments, and financial assets carried at cost from the date that the Bank first applied the measurement criteria of IAS 36 and IAS 39 (i.e. January 1, 2004). The Board permits reversal of the allowances.

y) IFRIC 12: Service Concession Arrangements

This Interpretation gives guidance on the accounting by operators for public-to-private service concession arrangements. This Interpretation applies to both:

infrastructure that the operator constructs or acquires from a third party for the

purpose of the service arrangement; and

existing infrastructure to which the grantor gives the operator access for the purpose of the service arrangement.

This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 and has not been adopted by the Board.

z) IFRIC 13: Customer Loyalty Programs

This Interpretation gives guidance on the accounting by entities that grant loyalty award credits to customers as part of a sales transaction which, subject to meeting any further qualifying conditions, the customers can redeem in the future for free or discounted goods or services. This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and has not been adopted by the Board.

- 189 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

aa) IFRIC 14, IAS 19: The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction

This Interpretation applies to all post-employment defined benefits and other long-term employee defined benefits. Also, it considers the minimum funding requirements to fund a post-employment or other long-term defined benefit plan. It also addresses when a minimum funding requirement might give rise to a liability. IFRIC 14 became mandatory for 2011 financial statements with retrospective application required. This Interpretation has not been adopted by the Board.

bb) IFRIC 16: Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

This Interpretation allows entities that use the step-by-step consolidation method to choose an accounting policy that hedges currency risk to determine the amount of the cumulative foreign currency translation reserve that is reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of a net investment in a foreign operation, which is equivalent to the amount that would have been reclassified had the entity used the direct method of consolidation. This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 and has not been adopted by the Board.

cc) IFRIC 17: Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

This Interpretation gives guidance on the accounting of distributions of non-cash assets to owners at the beginning and end of the reporting period.

If, after the end of a reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue, an entity declares a dividend to distribute a non-cash asset, it must disclose:

a) the nature of the asset to be distributed;

b) the carrying amount of the asset to be distributed as of the end of the reporting period; and.

c) whether fair values are determined, in whole or in part, directly by reference to

published price quotations in an active market or are estimated using a valuation technique, and the method used to determine fair value and, when a valuation technique is used, the assumptions applied.

This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 and has not been adopted by the Board.

- 190 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

dd) IFRIC 18: Transfers of Assets from Customers

This Interpretation gives guidance on the accounting of transfers of items of property, plant and equipment by entities that receive such transfers from their customers. This Interpretation also applies to agreements in which an entity receives cash when that amount of cash must be used only to construct or acquire an item of property, plant and equipment, and the entity must then use the item either to connect the customer to a network or to provide the customer with ongoing access to a supply of goods or services, or to both. This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009 and has not been adopted by the Board.

ee) IFRIC 19: Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

This Interpretation gives guidance on the accounting by an entity when the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated and result in the entity issuing equity instruments to a creditor of the entity to extinguish all or part of the financial liability. This Interpretation became mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2010 and has not been adopted by the Bank.

(40) 2013 Figures

As of December 31 and March 2013, financial statement figures have been reclassified for comparison with those at 2014, per modifications to the Chart of Accounts and SUGEF Directive 31-04: "Regulation on the financial information of entities, groups and financial conglomerates" approved by CONASSIF and effective from January 1, 2014. On the Balance sheet, subordinated loans include ¢14.850.300.000 and ¢14.781.600.000, which in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2013 and March, respectively, are presented in subordinated debentures. In the Statement of Comprehensive Income, foreign exchange gains and losses amount to ¢ 26.436.622.725 and ¢25.229.158.706 respectively, which in the consolidated financial statement at March 31, 2013, are presented as a net foreign exchange gain.

(41) Relevant and subsecuent events As of March 31, 2014, there are significant subsequent events (facts) to disclose as follows: On January 11, 2013, Law N° 9092 was published; Refund of Income to the National Commission Education Loan (CONAPE), derogatory of article 41 and the Transitory III of the Law N°8634, from October 23 2008: Article I: is repealed article N°41 and the transitory III of the Law N° 8634, Banking System Development from October 23 2008. The Executive Secretary of CONAPE will coordinate with the Regents of Development Banking, the implementation of this Law, since there is uncertainty whether it applies to the results of the year 2012 or 2013. On January 30, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Costa Rica in its article 7 minute of the session 5582-2013, took the following agreements in relation to the portfolio:

1- Establish an overall limit of 9% to the accrued growth between February 1 and

October 31 2013 for the balance of the portfolio loan and investments to the non

financial private sector granted by financial intermediaries supervised by the

General Superintendence (Superintendent) of Financial Entities; rate expressed in

annualized terms corresponds to a 12,2%.

2- Establish an overall limit to the accrued growth between February 1 and October 31

2013 for the balance of the portfolio loan and investments to the non financial

private sector in foreign currency and granted by financial intermediaries supervised

by the General Superintendence of Financial Entities as follows:

a) If the financial intermediary showed as of December 31 2012 an annual growth

equal or less to 20%, the increase accumulated on the balance of the portfolio

between February 1 and October 31 2013 may not exceed 6,0%. This rate

expressed in annualized terms corresponds to an 8%.

- 192 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

b) If the financial intermediary presented as of December 31 2012 an annual rate

more than 20%, the increase accumulated on the balance of the portfolio between

February 1 and October 31 may not exceed 30% of the annual rate registered on

December 31 2012.

3- The follow-up on the present agreement will be conducted on a quarterly basis,

based on the Information provided by the financial intermediaries as at April 30,

July 31 and October 31, 2013, as follows:

a) The follow-up will be conducted based on the projection of balances that each

institution provides the Central Bank of Costa Rica and the General

Superintendence of Financial Entities, 15 calendar days to the entry into force

of this measure.

b) In it´s absence, for the follow-up of the limits established in paragraphs 1 and 2,

the resulting flow is distributed evenly in the three quarters comprising the

measure.

c) As follow-up, the balance of the portfolio in foreign currency for each and every

reference date, must be expressed in collones using the Exchange reference rate

of the Central Bank of Costa Rica as of December 31, 2012 (¢502,07 per US$

dollar).

Therefore, among the measures to consider will be in first instance:

1. Tracking the required limit according to the parameters established by the Central Bank of Costa Rica.

2. The Bank will need to act diligently with the granting credit and more stringent with

the credit analysis for companies and people in light of the stress scenarios suggested by the regulator.

3. Review the budget targets for 2013.

- 193 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

As of July 31, 2013, the Board of the Central Bank decides to eliminate the global constraint to the growth of the financial system credit to the private sector.

On July 8, 2013, the return of capital to the Banco de Costa Rica.is approved in the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of BCR Pension Operadora de Planes de Pensiones Complementarias through minute No. 02-13. In accordance with Chapter VII of the "Regulation on the opening and operation of authorized entities and operation of pension funds, labor capitalization and voluntary savings under the Worker Protection Law" establishes capital adequacy guidelines for authorized entities, where the different levels of requirements are set for market risk, operational and credit, as well as calculations of capital base. In that sense, BCR Pensions held since early 2012 an average level of capital adequacy ratio of 2.19 times, which is well above the regulatory requirement (1 time) and internal risk limit set at 1.5 times. This reflects a comfortable capital position against risk requirements faced by the entity. Given the above circumstances, it is considered appropriate to make a return of surplus capital Pensiones in the amount of ¢1,000 million colones to the Banco de Costa Rica as sole shareholder of BCR, in order to optimize the financial resources of the institution.

The detail of the return is as follows:

Cash ¢ 877.642.491

Computer equipment, furniture and computer licenses 122.357.509

Total return Capital ¢ 1.000.000.000

The capital of Operadora de Pensiones decreases in the amount indicated, from 2,444,450,000 shares with a nominal value of ¢1 per share each to 1,444,450,000 shares with the same par value. On August 5, 2013, the Bank performs the first international bond issuance for US$ 500 million, which had a close demand of 8.75 times. Bond orders from more than 290 investors accounts were received for a total amount of US$ 4.363 million.

- 194 -



March 31, 2014


(Continued)

The bonds were issued under regulations 144a to institutional investors in the United States of America and Regulation "S", to market outside the United States, including non-institutional investors. The issue only traded in international markets, for a term of 5 years, with a facial rate of 5.25%. The Bank hired Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to perform the structuring and issuance of bonds. Recently, as part of this process, the international firm Moody's Investment Service, gave the bank a rating of Baa3, the same granted to the Republic of Costa Rica, and is classified as investment grade. This indicator represents a high degree of confidence to investors. Moreover, Fitch Ratings Inc., with same rating established by the Government of Costa Rica, rated the bond issue BB+. On September 6, 2013, the documents are signed in order to settle negotiations with Consejo Nacional de Produccion (CNP), for the acquisition of land and building of its headquarters, close to La Sabana, which will develop the real estate project to install the bank headquarters. However, a period of one year for the delivery of the property is given to CNP, while Sociedad Administradora de Fondos de Inversión S. A. (SAFI), introduces a real estate solution to the entity.
