Annual Report as of December 31, 2013
In compliance with legal provisions and the by-laws, Tarjeta Naranja S.A. submits this Annual
Report, together with the Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Income, Statement of

FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Information Presented in Thousands of Pesos)
During 2013, Tarjeta Naranja continued consolidating its position and managed to increase its
market share in the Argentine credit cards market.
This year open accounts exceeded 2.5 million and taking into consideration additional cardholders,
the Company has 3.7 million customers. Meanwhile, the number of authorized cards is 6.9 million,
including Tarjeta Naranja, Tarjeta Naranja Visa, Tarjeta Naranja Mastercard and Tarjeta Naranja
American Express. In turn, transactions increased by 15.73% and average consumption by open
account increased by 26.13%.
At fiscal year-end, net operating income amounted to AR$ 3,418,747, representing a 30% increase
as compared to 2012 and consolidating the prior year’s positive trend in generating income. Such
income is explained by the 36% increase in net income from services and the 19% increase in net
income from financing.
Operating expenses increased by 35% as compared to the prior year, mainly due to the rise in
labor costs changed by trade union agreements, the increase in tax disbursements and rates, and
other operating expenses.
As a result, net income increased by 13%, as compared to 2012, and at fiscal year-end,
consolidated net income amounted to AR$ 489,713.
The shareholders’ equity at year-end amounted to AR$ 1,942,084 and the distribution of dividends
for AR$ 110,000 was approved at the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 22, 2013.
SOURCES OF FINANCING
During FY 2013, Tarjeta Naranja carried out the following transactions regarding debt issuance and
sources of financing.
Bank and Financial Loans
New loans were obtained from several banks in the aggregate amount of AR$ 670 million. In turn,
loans and checking account overdrafts were extended in the aggregate amount of AR$ 233 million.
In FY 2013, loan principal and interest payments were made in the amount of AR$ 566 million.
Financial Leases
In FY 2013, financial lease payments due were made in the amount of AR$ 26 million.
Notes (“Obligaciones Negociables”)
Within the framework of the Global Program for the Issuance of Notes (“Obligaciones
Negociables”), Class XX, XXI, XXII and XXIII Notes were placed for AR$ 789 million. Principal and
interest on Notes were paid in the amount of AR$ 707 million.
Foreign Currency Debt Hedging
At fiscal year-end, we have forward transactions and other investments to hedge cash flow risks of
foreign currency-denominated debt.
Other Available Sources
We have a credit line available that has not been used related to a commitment signed with Banco
Galicia for AR$ 100 million.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING FISCAL YEAR 2013
2013: Let’s Join Together Again
We ended 2012 convinced that to take on challenges and face changes, we needed to support us
and work together, organizing a great team with our employees, cardholders and merchants
("Comercios Amigos"). Therefore, “Let’s Join Together Again” was the motto that inspired us
throughout 2013. In the words of David Ruda, our CEO, "we recover the concept of teaming, reunification, which means being together, combining ideas and adding projects so that everything
may go better for all of us. And if the need to change arises from this relationship, then don't be
afraid. Let’s change! In this context, and for everyone to listen thereto, we want to shout: Give me
your hand, it is necessary for us to join together again!
Summer
Once more, the summer operation integrated actions at the main tourist centers and a number of
benefits such as discounts of up to 20% at the best restaurants, three-installment and 0% interest
rate plan (named “Zeta”) at supermarkets and gas stations, and exclusive benefits at hotels,
entertainment, travel agencies and transportation companies, among others.
This year the traditional Naranja Show combined in Mar del Plata and Carlos Paz two exclusive
recitals performed by Diego Torres with dazzling firework shows. Over 250,000 persons enjoyed
these shows, and cardholders and the public in general were provided with a unique experience.
“Financieramente Incorrectos” (Financially Incorrect) Campaign
In an evolution of the “Financieramente Incorrectos” (Financially Incorrect) campaign launched in
2012, where we revealed Tarjeta Naranja’s essence, this year we presented a second part
intended to communicate our products. The campaign, designed by the BBDO agency, reflected a
core message: “it is possible to change from a No to a Yes (“Zi” instead of “Sí” in Spanish, which is
written wrong on purpose to include the letter Z) with the Z Plan”, an innovative product that
provides our cardholders with more freedom upon purchasing decision-making.
Through a saga of three commercials that appeal to humor and feelings, we managed to share the
attributes that make us different reinforcing the value proposal we provide to our more than 3.7
million customers throughout the country.
Argentina’s National Soccer Team: Light Blue, White and Naranja (Orange)!
As official sponsor of Argentina’s National Soccer Team, Tarjeta Naranja continued supporting the
national team in all official qualifying rounds for 2014 Brazil World Cup and friendly games. In order
to continue consolidating the brand throughout the country, we carried out branding actions in
seven matches, and offered special benefits and promotions for cardholders, such as the exclusive
presale in all games.
In addition, we developed an advertising spot to celebrate before everybody the qualification for
Brazil World Cup, which was communicated on TV, printed media and social networks. The piece
was developed through a modern digital animation technique and portrays the arrival of our team of
stars to Maracaná Stadium with the dream to be World Champions.
“Un gol, un potrero” (One Goal, One Soccer Field)
Relying on the fact that the “Un Gol, un Potrero” (One Goal, One Soccer Field) program expresses
and shares the joy we feel to support the Argentina’s National Soccer Team, we continued working
hard on this initiative as focal point of the sponsorship. Through this Social Responsibility program,
which is aimed at fostering sports among children, since 2011, we have remodeled 78 sports
areas of schools, community centers and neighborhood clubs so that more than 15,000 children
throughout the country enjoy practicing sports. The participation continues growing, with over 3,250
enrolled institutions throughout the country and more than 75,000 Facebook friends voting for
winners.
Naranja Store
One year after its launch, Naranja Store consolidates itself in the e-commerce world with sales
made in 2013 amounting to AR$ 15 million. With an increasing number of transactions, Tarjeta
Naranja’s online purchasing site currently connects more than 200 Merchants (“Comercios
Amigos”) throughout the country with 10,000 active cardholders at the platform, who are allowed to
access selected products with distinctive plans, promotions and benefits. Through this alternative
purchasing channel, Tarjeta Naranja offers more convenient proposals for its users and continues
strengthening the relationship with its Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”) in the country.
Other Products and Services
Convivimos, Tarjeta Naranja’s monthly magazine, consolidated itself in 2013 as leader
among the subscribed publications in Argentina, with a circulation of 550,000 issues and
more than two million readers. Thought for the whole family, the magazine of the
Company’s publishing division directly reaches thousands of houses throughout the
country. In December, we celebrated this achievement with a special edition, which
presented Lionel Messi on the cover and an exclusive interview.
As new service for cardholders, we implemented the cell phone top-ups by means of the
tarjetanaranja.com web services. Throughout 2013, top-ups amounted to over AR$ 100
million.
Tarjeta Naranja offers a wide range of products as regards personal insurance, which
amounted to 2.4 million policies in force at fiscal year-end.
Services on your cell phone, whereby cardholders may control their operations and
receive text messaging with information about each purchase made, due dates, payments
made, withdrawals, transfer notices and balance queries. In 2013, the number of
customers who use it increased by 16% in 2013, reaching 1,200,000 persons.
Innovation
In 2013, we reinforced the space for open innovation, “Ideas Naranja” (Naranja Ideas), a
collaborative platform that invites the community to propose ideas and vote or comment others’
ideas based on the instruction given by Tarjeta Naranja. Calls took place in June and September
this year with two new questions. In June the trigger was: Which new product or service would you
like Tarjeta Naranja to offer? And in September we asked: How would you like a brand to surprise
you when you visit its stores? This was earmarked for generating innovative ideas to continue
improving the service quality. People’s participation was very important, and over 10,000 ideas and
260,000 visits to the innovación.tarjetanaranja.com site were received.
“Martes Financieramente Incorrectos” (Financially Incorrect Tuesdays)
During 2013, promotional actions were performed, which became distinctive as compared to
competitors and were positively valued by customers, who increased the use of their cards. The
most outstanding promotion was “Martes financieramente incorrectos” (Financially incorrect
Tuesdays), which offered a 15% discount without limit on large brands throughout the country.
From March to June and from September to December, cardholders could take advantage of this
benefit at more than 2,100 points of sale of subscribed brands. For the Mother’s Day in October,
the discount increased to 20%.
In addition, there were ongoing promotions with discounts and 0% interest installment plans in all
sectors. Many agreements were entered into with top brands in Argentina, such as FIAT, Movistar,
Claro, DirecTV, Dexter, Falabella, Phillips, Disco Virtual, LAN, Musimundo, Garbarino, Frávega,
Walmart, ADT, Libertad and Jumbo, among others. Likewise, special promotions with renowned
stores of each city were carried out in every region throughout the country.
One Million Friends on Facebook
We continued participating in the different social platforms with the commitment to providing
customer services, talking to our community of friends, sharing colorful news, exclusive benefits
and publications of interest. In November, we reached the spectacular amount of one million
friends on Facebook, which at fiscal year-end stood at 1,051,700. This makes us become the
financial sector institution in Argentina with the highest amount of friends on this social
network. In turn, in Twitter we began the year with 6,752 followers. At the end of 2013, they
amounted to 31,800.
To reward the work performed on social networks, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), agency
that regulates the global digital advertising, awarded us two prizes for the “2013 Best Digital
Campaigns”. The prized initiatives were Lovekedin (Golden Prize), developed for the Valentine’s
Day and #Quieromichulengo (Bronze Prize), launched to increase participation in Twitter under the
framework of the Financially Incorrect campaign.
Actions for Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”)
During 2013, actions, events and initiatives specially intended for our Merchants (“Comercios
Amigos”) were carried out.
We made an alliance with Google and with this, we granted an exclusive benefit to our
countrywide subscribed stores, which could access to Google AdWords, an online advertising
solutions package furnished with effective tools to boost their businesses.
In September, we held the fifth edition of the Contest of Naranja’s Windows, in which over 1,000
stores throughout the country participated, with the instruction to create original windows where the
orange color played a leading role. With the designer Benito Fernández as member of the jury, the
winners were chosen. The first prize was a trip to Paris and the second one a trip to Río de
Janeiro, both for two persons.
Throughout the year, Tarjeta Naranja invited stores to participate in training conferences about
several matters in order to strengthen the relationship by providing them with a different value
proposal. The conferences held in Rosario, Bahía Blanca, Mar del Plata, Resistencia and Neuquén
should be highlighted, whereat Paula Molinari, a Leadership and Change Management specialist,
lectured. In addition, the Company’s directors, who specially traveled to force a closer relationship
with stores, attended these events.
Branch Network
At fiscal year-end, Tarjeta Naranja has a network of 215 service centers throughout the country.
This network includes 166 branches and 49 points of sale, distributed as follows: 9 in the City of
Buenos Aires, 26 in Greater Buenos Aires, 20 in the rest of the Province of Buenos Aires, 18 in
Santa Fe, 50 in Córdoba, 4 in Chubut, 9 in Entre Ríos, 8 in Río Negro, 9 in Tucumán, 7 in
Corrientes, 2 in La Pampa, 6 in Misiones, 3 in San Luis, 2 in Tierra del Fuego, 5 in Catamarca, 3 in
Chaco, 3 in Formosa, 5 in Jujuy, 5 in La Rioja, 5 in Neuquén, 9 in Salta, 2 in Santa Cruz and 5 in
Santiago del Estero.
During the year, Tarjeta Naranja continued increasing its presence in the Autonomous City of
Buenos Aires (CABA, as per its initials in Spanish) and the rest of the country. We opened seven
branches, distributed in Villa Crespo and Villa del Parque (CABA); in Mina Clavero and La Calera
(Córdoba), Puerto Iguazú (Misiones), Perico (Jujuy) and San Miguel de Tucumán. Additionally, we
moved ten branches to different parts of the country in order to improve the customer’s experience.
In August, we opened offices in the neighborhood of Balvanera, in the City of Buenos Aires.
Administrative and commercial areas were established therein in order to connect and supply
branches in the area.
Ongoing Improvement with LEAN
This year we began a change adopting the LEAN methodology in Tarjeta Naranja’s processes,
along with the international consulting firm McKinsey. The purpose is to streamline the operation,
increase efficiency and improve the customer’s experience ensuring the quality of our products and
services.
We started up with two very important processes for the customer, Contact Center and Collections,
and then we continued working on the network of Stores and Processing. To perform this task, fulltime interdisciplinary teams were formed, which during four months diagnosed, designed, piloted
and launched improvements removing activities that do not add value and increasing the capacity
of work teams through simple tools. During 2014, LEAN will continue being applied to other
processes.
New Tools to Assess Credit Risk
In 2013, we introduced tools that allow us to assess the risk level associated with each applicant
and/or customer and achieved an objective credit risk management at the Origination, Behavior
and Collection instances. Through these Scoring Models, we improved the customer segmentation
by risk and achieved an increased efficiency in the processes related to Account Additions, and
Collection and Account Management, in addition to making decision criteria consistent and
improving the quality of the response to the customer.
2013 with New Cards
In August this year, new designs were launched for all cards issued by the Company in order to
align them with the last design trends. From that date to the fiscal year-end, 1,954,678 cards were
delivered with the new image.
Casa Naranja
In order to respond to the Company’s growth and group a significant part of Employees from Nonbusiness Areas in the same place, during 2013, we continued with the works for the new
sustainable headquarters in the City of Córdoba. It is a 12-story building with a first floor, occupies
18,800 m2, will accommodate 700 employees and will be added to the other real property that
Naranja has in the same block. It will be the first building in Córdoba to be awarded the LEED
(Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) certification, which implies very important
contributions regarding eco-efficiency. At the end of fiscal year 2013, the building achieved a 65%
progress and is expected to be completed towards the end of 2014.
Tarjeta Naranja Perú
The Company continued developing the business in Peru, where it began operations in 2011. At
fiscal year-end, the affiliate has 11 branches in Lima, a team of 487 employees and 80,671 active
cards. Tarjeta Naranja Perú resulted from an association with Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP),
main private bank in such country.
Employee Management
Tarjeta Naranja’s organizational culture places people first. Therefore, the Human Resources
management is focused on keeping an excellent work environment and fostering the ongoing
development of employees.
During 2013, 283 people joined the firm and headcount amounted to 4,049 employees throughout
the country by year-end. In-house contests and promotions were carried out as a result of being
interested in providing multiple development opportunities, thus encouraging individual growth.
Focused on training, more than 2,600 training courses were taught, most of which were under the
charge of 505 in-house trainers of the Company, who are employees who assume the task of
transferring knowledge.
Seeking the ongoing improvement, the Performance Assessment process was renewed, which
takes place twice a year for the purpose of achieving that results better reflect each employee’s
performance, and thus be able to identify improvement opportunities. We also added changes in
the Democratic Assessment, an instrument to know employees’ satisfaction level with respect to
their leaders.
For the strategic purpose of being among the best companies to work for in Argentina, Tarjeta
Naranja continued performing actions to achieve an excellent work environment. In November
2013, as part of the Environment Diagnosis process, the in-house environment survey was
conducted, which seeks to know the employees’ perceptions of the different actions implemented
at the Organization. Aspects to be improved were identified and the results of the improvements
implemented, as a result of the diagnosis made in 2012, were assessed.
Additionally, to supplement our in-house measurements of the environment with an external view
that allows us to compare us with other companies, in August this year we worked again along with
Great Place to Work (GPTW) in preparing a diagnosis. The invitation to participate in this
measurement was extended to all the Company’s employees and leaders. The results obtained
continue placing us as one of the best companies to work for in the country.
Technology and Processes
During the year, investments continued being made in the technological upgrade and the
development of improvements in the applications, with a great dedication of resources to the
strategic support for the Company’s growth.
In order to achieve that cardholders and stores may virtually provide all services in the branch
network, we began implementing Naranja Online. This development improves the web
functionalities through a new Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which provides the best
usability practices of online information.
In seeking to optimize the performance of our processing system for branches, contact center
and other areas, improvements were made in storage hardware and applications, thus managing to
reduce the time of processes.
We continued making progress with the Communications initiative, which consists in sending our
customers information about the status of their proceedings through non-traditional channels, such
as e-mail and SMS. Accordingly, during the year, 10 million notices were sent per month.
In addition, we implemented an application for the sale through non-traditional channels by
means of the contact center, web site and social networks. This allows customers to request their
card from any place, around the clock, without the need to go to a branch.
To provide further facilities to customers, who may easily pay at outsourced institutions, we
developed a technology that allows cardholders to pay their account statement by solely showing
their national identity cards.
In order to process the data volume generated by each Company’s area, a Business Intelligence
(BI) tool was implemented, which allows providing support information for strategic decisionmaking, according to Tarjeta Naranja’s current and future needs.
Prevention of Asset Laundering and Funding of Terrorist Activities
Tarjeta Naranja has internal control policies and procedures to ensure that its products and
services are not used for criminal purposes. During 2013, initiatives, such as the acquisition of the
Systech Vigía tool in its profile and monitoring modules, which are integrated into the already
existing Vigía Lista module, were implemented to mitigate the risk. With this, we achieved a
comprehensive understanding of customers and their behavior, which allows us to detect irregular
situations related to asset laundering, financing of terrorist activities and/or fraud. In addition, it
makes it easier to record the detected cases and assign an individual Laundering Risk Rating (IRL,
as per its initials in Spanish) to each customer.
We strengthened control processes and in order to have updated information about those
customers with higher consumption, we requested documentation supporting revenues, as well as
supplementary information regarding them.
All of the Company’s employees received in-house training and education regarding this matter at
three complexity levels depending on their positions. Furthermore, the members of the Control and
Prevention Committee and the Anti-laundering Unit received external training.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Tarjeta Naranja understands that the long-term growth should be supported with a sustainable
management that considers and includes the community and the neediest groups. All programs
encouraged by the Company include the contribution from Employees, Cardholders, Merchants
(“Comercios Amigos”) and Suppliers. All employees, who move themselves to start up each
program, actively took part in the multiple initiatives developed this year. Some of the most
outstanding are:
Débito Solidario (Solidary Debit) Program: Tarjeta Naranja has been carrying out this
program for 17 years, which consists in collecting the contributions cardholders donate
through automatic credit card debit to be fully delivered to different non-profit organizations
throughout the country. In 2013, AR$ 36,795,921 was collected by these means.
Apadrinando Escuelas (Support for Schools) Program: In order to foster equal
opportunities for public primary school children throughout the country, a joint work with
Sponsor Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”), which also make an economic contribution to
meet children’s and institutions’ needs, has been conducted since 1999. The year ends
with 361 Sponsored Schools and 406 Sponsor Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”).
Apadrinando Comedores (Support for Community Kitchens) Program: through the
work of volunteers at community or soup kitchens from different districts of the country, we
have sought to help with food, education, clothing and recreation of children for 10 years.
In 2013, 208 volunteers promoted actions at 39 organizations by providing 3,482 children
with relief, affection and assistance.
Primary and Secondary School Scholarship Program: together with FONBEC, we
implemented this program whereby 96 sponsors, all Naranja’s employees, made
contributions for 100 sponsored children. The purpose is to enable outstanding children
and young people to continue their studies avoiding school dropout.
Paper Recycling Program: During the year, 120,000 kg of out-of-use paper were
recycled, which represented income amounting to AR$ 86,674 that was allocated to the
programs.
Inclusion of Individuals with Disabilities: We continued hiring people with disabilities
and five employees are currently working in different areas of the Company.
For further information about the programs, we recommend reading the Informe de
Actividades de Responsabilidad Social 2013 (2013 Report on Social Responsibility
Activities) available on tarjetanaranja.com
Recognitions
Tarjeta Naranja continues consolidating its leadership and positioning among the most recognized
companies in the country. During 2013, the Company continued winning recognitions and awards.
It is worth mentioning, the prize awarded by ZonaJobs, an Argentine leading employment site that
conducted a survey of more than 20,000 employees to prepare a ranking of the most qualified
companies to develop the work life. Tarjeta Naranja was ranked second among “The Best
Companies Qualified by Their Employees” (“Las empresas mejor calificadas por sus
empleados”) and third among “The Most Valued Companies” (“Las empresas más
valoradas”), on which people would like to work.
Naranja also had a significant place in the rankings of the most influential press publications in the
rd
country. In August, it was included in the 23 place in the “The 100 Companies with the Best
Reputation in Argentina” (“Las 100 empresas con mejor reputación del país”) ranking
published by Clarín Newspaper. In the same month, El Cronista newspaper placed us sixth in its
“The 100 Companies with the Highest Turnover” (“Las 100 empresas que más facturan”)
th
ranking and in December we were placed 36 in the “The 100 Companies with Best Image”
(“Ranking de las 100 empresas con mejor imagen”) ranking published by Ámbito Financiero
newspaper.
Moreover, creativity and communication strategy were recognized with important prizes: a Silver
Effie Award for the Financially Incorrect campaign, in addition to a Grand Prix and FePI prize for
the advertising spot carried out for the classification of the National Soccer Team. These are in
addition to the above-mentioned prizes for the “2013 Best Digital Campaigns” awarded by the
Interactive Advertising Bureau.
PROJECTIONS AND OUTLOOK FOR 2014
2014: Restart
After a year of intense activity, we propose ourselves to consider it ended and start again with the
intention of making 2014 a better year for everybody. In the words of David Ruda, Tarjeta Naranja’s
CEO: “Restart is to start again. Start from scratch, over and out, reset. It is to clear our minds of the
memories of difficult times and fill our hearts with new, ambitious, daring, different projects that
allow us to follow a different path to arrive different places.”
With this spirit we began a new fiscal year, in which the Company will focus on consolidating its
presence and share in the market of the City and Province of Buenos Aires, keeping its leadership
in the rest of the country.
During 2014, we will work on broadening the customer’s experience, increasing efficiency in all
areas and achieving improvements in processes with the support of the LEAN methodology.
Adopting this system in several key processes is one of the most important steps taken in 2013
that will be continued. We will continue changing other processes and we will work to ensure that
the improvements achieved are maintained over time, applying the tools and the same enthusiasm
with which they started.
With the mission to continue adding value to customers, we will work on increasing multichanneling. We will seek to make available to Cardholders and Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”)
multiple ways to access all Tarjeta Naranja’s services simply and easily. Thus, we will continue
developing management tools to boost Naranja’s online service. We will also continue working on
providing facility and comfort for customers to obtain and pay their account statement.
In order to optimize internal communication, we will implement a Collaborative Network, a tool
that will foster participation and encourage employees to share information. Its main advantages
will be the access to collective knowledge, the stimulation of joint work and the leading roles of
employees.
As official sponsor of Argentina’s National Soccer Team and due to 2014 Brazil World Cup, we
will conduct a strong institutional campaign with activities and special benefits for Cardholders and
Merchants (“Comercios Amigos”), where the main purpose will be the loyalty of this audience. In
line therewith, the Corporate Social Responsibility “Un gol, un potrero” program will be boost and
will play an important role this year.
During 2014, we seek to continue launching innovative products to the market, which are added to
Tarjeta Naranja’s array of products and services.
Towards the last quarter of the year, we expect to move to and operate the new headquarters in
Córdoba, which will be called Casa Naranja and will be a milestone in the Company’s history.
Regarding economic aspects, we will continue adapting to the real macroeconomic situation, which
has a significant influence on the course of our operations.

Tarjeta Naranja has several committees reporting to the Board of Directors, such as the Audit Committee, the Control
and Prevention of Money Laundering Committee and the Committee for Information Integrity. All these Committees
ensure that financial internal control systems are sufficient, adequate and efficient, as well as the proper operation of the
controls related to fraud detection, prevention of money laundering and the transparency of the entity’s information.
Thus, the Audit Committee quarterly supervises the progress of the annual audit plan, which, along with the Committee
for Information Integrity, is intended to identify critical risks. During each meeting, the Audit Committee receives
information from the internal audit department about the most significant events and the recommendations arising from
its work, as well as the status of the recommendations issued in prior years, always for the sake of helping create an
adequate control environment.
In addition, the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorist Activities Committee meets every two months
to show the results of controls and prevention of asset laundering, funding of terrorist activities and other illegal
activities, in accordance with effective legal and administrative rules, in order to reduce and eliminate civil, criminal or
commercial-type responsibilities for the organization.

Report or Explain
Tarjeta Naranja seeks a work environment that fosters honesty, proactivity, responsibility, security, data
confidentiality, respect for the law and business loyalty.
To manage to have a pleasant workplace requires basing daily relationships on mutual respect, trust, and kind
and easy to get on with manner, both between workmates and bosses, and suppliers and customers, performing
all activities with the highest ethical, labor and personal principles.
In this respect, Tarjeta Naranja’s Code of Ethics, which governs all the Company’s members, is intended to
provide the main basics for all the Company's members to act in the same way and with the same values in the
face of similar situations. The trust provided by shareholders, customers and the public in general largely depends
on compliance with these principles.

Report or Explain
Tarjeta Naranja has a process called Democratic Assessment, which is carried out with a tool where all the
Company's employees assess their leaders and where they can provide their opinion on any employee from their
same area or not, as well as write a letter to the Company’s Senior Management and Chairman about any aspect
deemed necessary, event unlawful or unethical behavior reporting. This tool has been used for more than 15
years. Such assessment is made through an electronic system and the information included therein is given

PRINCIPLE IX: BROADEN THE SCOPE OF THE CODE
Recommendation IX:
Foster the inclusion of
X
provisions related to
good corporate
governance practices in
the Corporate Bylaws.
Report or Explain
Reporting is made to the CEO or Board of Directors' Chairman, depending on to whom the person reports. Reporting is
managed by them, who make the Audit Committee become involved, if appropriate, providing a personalized treatment to
each reporting.
In addition, the Code of Ethics contemplates a procedure to escalate and treat reporting.
Given the essentially ever-changing nature of principles and recommendations inherent to good corporate governance, and its
recent implementation internationally, locally and at corporate level, Tarjeta Naranja S.A. does not deem it very advisable for
the time being to include good corporate governance practices in the Corporate Bylaws, due to its eminent static nature and
difficult to be changed, notwithstanding that some of such provisions are included, such as the allocation of profits at fiscal
year-end. The Company believes for the time being that adopting internal Codes of Ethics allows and will allow developing the
desired behaviors in this regard. However, the gradual inclusion in the future of some of the provisions in the Corporate
Bylaws is not disregarded, as long as it is deemed advisable.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
Tarjeta Naranja S.A. (hereinafter, “the Company”) was organized as a corporation in the Province of Córdoba
on September 1, 1995. The Company is a leading credit-card company in Argentina. Its main business is to
create, develop, direct, manage, market, exploit and operate credit and/or debit and/or purchase and/or
similar card systems. The Company may hold an interest in the capital stock of other companies rendering
supplementary services to the financial activity, which are allowed by the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA).
These financial statements were approved for their issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on
February 17, 2014.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The main accounting policies applied to the preparation of these financial statements are detailed below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all fiscal years presented, except otherwise noted.
2.1 Basis for Preparation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financing
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations (CINIIF as per its initials in Spanish) applicable to
entities reporting under IFRS.
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires using certain critical accounting estimates. In
addition, this preparation requires Management to make its judgment in the process of applying the
Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher level of judgment or complexity or the areas in
which the assumptions and estimates are material to the financial statements are stated in Note 4.1.6
Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments.
2.1.1 Changes in Accounting Policies and Breakdowns
(a) New and Amended Standards Adopted by the Company.
The following standards have been adopted by the Company for the first time in the fiscal year
commenced January 1, 2013 and have a material effect therefor:
Amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”: This amendment includes new disclosures
to facilitate the comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements under IFRS
and those that prepare them in accordance with US GAAP.
IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”: This standard seeks to increase consistency and reduce complexity
by providing an exact definition of fair value and a single source for fair value measurement, as well as
disclosure requirements for its use in IFRS. The requirements, which are aligned with IFRS and US
GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provide guidance on how it should be applied
when its use is required or permitted by other standards within IFRS.

2.1.1 Changes in Accounting Policies and Breakdowns (Continued)
(b) New Standards and Interpretations that Have Not Been Implemented Yet
Some new standards, amendments and interpretations are effective for the fiscal years commenced
after January 1, 2013 and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of them
are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, except for the following:
Amendment to IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” regarding the offsetting of assets and
liabilities: These amendments relate to the guidance in IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and
clarify some of the requirements for offsetting financial assets and liabilities in the statement of financial
position. The date when this amendment starts to be effective is January 1, 2014.
Amendment to IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” regarding the recoverable value disclosure: This
amendment refers to the disclosure regarding the recoverable value of impaired assets if such amount
is based on the fair value less costs of disposal. The date when this amendment starts to be effective is
January 1, 2014.
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”: Amendments regarding the application of hedging accounting were
published in November 2013 to allow entities to better reflect their risk management-related activities in
their financial statements. At this fiscal year-end, the Company is assessing the possible impact on the
financial statements of both this phase of the project of IFRS 9 and that regarding the impairment of
assets. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is expected to complete all phases of
IFRS 9 during 2014, the effective date of which is not earlier than January 1, 2017.
There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective and that are expected to have
a material effect on the Company.
2.2 Segment Reporting
The entity has disclosed the segment reporting, as established by IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”.
An operating segment is that component of the entity whose financial information is separately available and
is regularly used by the General Management in decision-making regarding how to allocate resources and
assess the business performance.
Reportable segments are one or more operating segments with similar characteristics, distribution systems
and regulatory environments.
Operating segments are presented consistently with the internal information furnished to the maximum
authority in decision-making relating to the Company’s operation, which, in the case of Tarjeta Naranja S.A.,
is the Board of Directors.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency
The figures included in the financial statements of the different entities that are part of the Company were
measured using their functional currency, i.e., the currency of the primary economic environment where each
Company operates. The financial statements are presented in Argentine Pesos, which is the Company’s
functional and presentation currency. For investments abroad, the currency of each country has been
defined as functional currency since it is the currency of the primary economic environment where those
entities operate.
The results of operations and financial position of the affiliated companies and associates that have a
functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the presentation
currency, as follows:
- The assets and liabilities at fiscal year-end are translated at the exchange rate as of that date.
- Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate (unless such average does not
represent a fair approximation of the cumulative effect of exchange rates effective as of the date of each
transaction, in which case such revenues and expenses are translated at the exchange rate effective as
of the date of each transaction).
- The resulting foreign exchange gains / (losses) are presented in other comprehensive income.
When an investment is sold or disposed of, either fully or partially, foreign exchange gains / (losses) are
recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain / (loss) on sale/disposal.
2.4 Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities
Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been stated at the buying or selling exchange rates, as
appropriate, in force at fiscal year-end.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated again at the exchange rates effective as of
the closing date of the financial statements. Non-monetary items valued at their fair values, which are
denominated in foreign currency, are translated again at the exchange rates effective as of the date when fair
values were estimated. Non-monetary items, which were valued at historical cost in foreign currency, are not
translated again.
Foreign exchange gains / (losses) are recognized in the line “Expenses from Financing” in the statement of
income during the year when they arose.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.5 Financial Instruments
Financial instruments, other than derivatives, are defined as any contract that simultaneously gives rise to a
financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” introduces new classification and measurement requirements for financial
assets and liabilities and their derecognition. Such IFRS requires that all financial assets that are included in
the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at
amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model, whose
objective is to collect contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments
of principal or interest on the principal amount outstanding, are usually measured at amortized cost at later
accounting year-ends. All the other debt or equity investments are measured at fair values at later
accounting year-ends.
Such IFRS permits its early application. The Company has opted for the early application of the first phase of
IFRS 9 as from the fiscal year commenced January 1, 2012.
As set out in IFRS 9, financial assets are classified into the following categories:
(a) Financial Assets at Amortized Cost
A financial asset is classified in this category if it meets the following conditions: The objective of the entity's
business model is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and if the contractual terms
entitle collection of cash flows on specified dates that are principal and interest.
In this category, the Company has classified the following financial assets: receivables from services,
investments in time deposits, investments in notes (“obligaciones negociables”), investments in government
securities and other receivables.
(b) Financial Assets at Fair Value
If both conditions referred to in the preceding point are not met, the asset is classified in the category “Fair
Value”.
In this category, the Company has classified the following financial assets: cash and cash equivalents
(except for investments in time deposits), investments in mutual funds, interests in companies on which it has
no control, joint control or significant influence, and balances under hedging transactions.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.6 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, time deposits in financial institutions and other highly
liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less, and with a not very significant
risk of changes in their value.
The placements of funds in time deposits were valued at the estimated cash price upon the transaction, plus
interest and financial components accrued based on the effective rate calculated at that time.
Investments in mutual funds were measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are accounted for in the
statement of income.
2.7 Investments
The placements of funds in notes (“obligaciones negociables”) and government securities were valued at the
estimated cash price upon the transaction, plus interest and financial components accrued based on the
effective rate calculated at that time.
Investments in mutual funds that do not qualify as cash equivalents were measured at fair value. Changes in
fair value are accounted for in the statement of income.
2.8 Receivables from Services and Other Receivables
Receivables from services include the amounts payable by customers, both for credit-card consumption and
loans granted.
Receivables from services have been initially recognized at market value and have been subsequently
valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. They are disclosed net of the allowance for
credit losses, if applicable, calculated according to the guidelines set out in Note 2.9 below.
2.9 Impairment of Financial Assets – Allowance for Credit Losses
At each fiscal year-end, the Company analyzes whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or
group of financial assets is impaired. The loss on impairment of financial assets is recognized when there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events occurred after the initial recognition of the
financial asset and such event has impact on estimated cash flows for such financial asset or group of
financial assets.
Under IFRS, for the calculation of the allowance for credit losses, the Company analyzes the historical losses
of its portfolio in order to estimate the losses related to receivables from services incurred as of the date of
the financial statements, but that have not been individually identified, according to the guidelines set out in
IAS 39.

2.9 Impairment of Financial Assets – Allowance for Credit Losses (Continued)
In addition, the historical ratios are adjusted, if appropriate, to include recent information that reflects the
economic conditions as of the closing date of the financial statements, trends of behavior in the industry,
geographic or customer concentrations in each portfolio segment and any other information that could affect
the estimation of the allowance for credit losses related to receivables from services. Several factors may
affect Management’s estimation of the allowance for credit losses, including the volatility of the likelihood of
loss, migrations and estimates of the severity of losses.
The book value of the asset is reduced through the account “Allowance for Credit Losses” and the amount of
loss or recovery, as the case may be, is recognized in the statement of income.
2.10 Investments in Associates and Other Companies
Associates are all the companies over which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control
and where it usually holds from 20% to 50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are recorded using
the equity method. Under this method, the investment is initially recognized at cost and the value at closing
increases or decreases to recognize Tarjeta Naranja S.A.’s interest in each company’s income (loss) after
the acquisition date.
Tarjeta Naranja S.A.’s interest in associates’ income / (loss) is recognized as income / (loss) from
investments in associates in the statement of income. Changes in shareholders’ equity that are not net
income / (loss) are charged to shareholders’ equity reserves (and, if appropriate, they are included in other
comprehensive income).
As of December 31, 2013, the Company holds 5% of the ordinary shares of Cobranzas Regionales S.A. The
following factors and circumstances evidence that the Company has significant influence (as defined in IAS
28 “Investments in Associates”) over Cobranzas Regionales S.A. and, therefore, the investment therein is
valued by the equity method in these financial statements:
a) Representation in the management board.
b) Involvement in policy setting processes.
c) Transactions of relative importance between Tarjeta Naranja S.A. and Cobranzas Regionales S.A.
d) Exchange of managerial staff.

2.11 Derivatives
Differences originated from the application of the measurement criteria detailed in Note 36, corresponding to
derivatives considered hedge instruments effective to cover cash flow risks, have been recognized in the
statement of income, taking into consideration such items affect net income for the fiscal year.
Derivatives are foreign currency hedge contracts to cover its cash flows exposure arising from Class XIII and
Class XVI, Series I (amortized at prior fiscal year-end) and Series II (amortized at this fiscal year-end), Notes
(“Obligaciones Negociables”). See also Note 4.c – Market Risk – Exchange Rate-associated Risks.
2.12 Income Tax
Income tax is recognized in these financial statements according to the deferred tax method, thus
recognizing the effect of the temporary differences between accounting and tax measurements of assets and
liabilities. The main temporary differences stem from the allowance for credit losses, the provision for
contingencies and, to a lesser extent, the differences with regard to the charge for depreciation of Property,
Plant and Equipment.
For purposes of determining the deferred assets and liabilities, the 35% tax rate that is expected to be in
force at the moment of their reversal has been applied to the temporary differences identified, under the legal
regulations enacted at the date of these financial statements. They are recognized in the statement of
financial position as long as it is deemed likely that the Company will have enough future taxable income
against which deferred income tax assets may be applied.
The breakdown and changes of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are explained in detail in Note 18.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.13 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment are recorded at historical cost, net of depreciation and impairment losses, if
applicable. The historical cost includes the expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets.
The costs of adapting and improving stores are capitalized as Property, Plant and Equipment only when
investments improve the conditions of the asset, irrespective of those originally established.
The costs subsequently incurred are included in the values of the asset only provided that it is likely for the
asset to generate future economic benefits and their cost is reliably measured. The value of replaced parts is
written off. The other maintenance and repair costs are charged to income during the fiscal year when they
are incurred.
Depreciation charges have been calculated following the straight-line method based on the estimated useful
life of the assets, applying annual rates enough so as to write off their values at the end of their estimated
useful life, according to the following parameters.
Group of Assets
Real Property
Cost of Adapting Stores
Furniture and Fixtures
Hardware
Facilities and Improvements
Years of Estimated Useful Life

The residual value of assets is reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, as of each fiscal year-end. Changes in
the criteria originally established are recognized, as the case may be, as a change of estimate.
The value of assets is impaired at their recoverable value if the accounting residual value exceeds their
estimated recoverable value, when they are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances that
indicate that their book value may not be recovered have arisen.

2.14 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are those non-monetary assets, without physical substance, that are identifiable either
because of being separable or because of deriving from legal or contractual rights. They are recorded when
they may be reliably measured and it is likely for them to generate benefits for the Company.
(a) Patents and Software
Patents and software are initially recognized at cost as of the acquisition date. Patents and software that
have a definite useful life are recorded at cost, less the accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated
by the straight-line method to adjust the cost to their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed five years.
(b) Other Intangible Assets
Other Intangible Assets amount to AR$ 5,027 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, remaining unchanged in
both years. Such item is related to the acquisition of a business unit, which includes the publication, sale and
distribution of the magazine Convivimos. Such asset is not amortized because it has an indefinite useful life.
The possibility for them to generating future income is periodically examined in order to analyze the possible
impairment thereof.
2.15 Accounts Payable
Accounts payable represent the obligations to pay stores and for goods and services acquired from suppliers
in the normal course of business. They are disclosed in current liabilities if their payment falls due in a term
shorter than or equal to one year.
They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method.
2.16 Bank and Financial Loans and Other Liabilities
Bank and financial loans are initially recognized at fair value, net of the costs directly attributable to obtaining
them. They are subsequently valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
2.17 Leases
Leases are classified as financial when all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset
are substantially transferred. All the other ones are considered to be operating leases.
The assets acquired through a financial lease are recorded as non-current assets and are originally
measured at the lower of the present value of the minimum future payments or fair value. The related
payable to the lessor is reflected in liabilities. The financial cost is accrued based on the effective rate and is
included in “Financial Costs”.
Financial lease agreements are explained in detail in Note 34 to these financial statements.

2.18 Provisions
Provisions have been made as set out in IAS 37 to cover possible contingencies of a labor, commercial, civil
or tax nature and for miscellaneous risks that could lead to obligations for the Company. When estimating
their amounts and the possibility of occurrence, the opinion of the Company’s advisors and the insurance
policies purchased by the Company have been taken into consideration.
At the date of these financial statements, the Company's Management believes there are no elements that
make it possible to determine there may be other contingencies that could occur and thus generate a
negative impact on the economic and financial position of the Company.

significant risk of changes in their value, and bank overdrafts with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash. Overdrafts, if any, are classified as “Bank and Financial Loans” in current liabilities in the
Statement of Financial Position.

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company’s activities expose it to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk
and the fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
There were no changes in the risk department or in risk management policies from the last fiscal year-end.
Information relating to December 31, 2013 and 2012 is disclosed in Note 4 below.

4.1 Financial Risk Management
4.1.1 Financial Risk Factors
The nature of the Company's operations and the characteristics of its customer base expose it to several
risks, primarily related to market risks (including the effects of changes in exchange rates and interest rates)
capital, credit and liquidity risks. In order to manage the volatility related to these exposures, Management
carries out an ongoing risk monitoring, measurement and identification process. For each exposure deriving
from the variation in exchange rates, the Company may perform transactions with derivatives in order to
manage potential adverse impacts on the Company's financial performance. Such transactions are carried
out according to internal policies and defined hedging practices.

2013 AND 2012 (Continued)
4.1
Financial Risk Management (Continued)
4.1.1 Financial Risk Factors (Continued)
(a) Credit Risk
The credit risk arises from certain liquid assets, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as
customer credit exposures, including other remaining loans and committed transactions.
As regards the credit risk management related to cash, cash equivalents and deposits with banks and
financial institutions, the Company has an investment and credit assessment policy from the financial
institution. According to such policy, the entities in which it may invest are determined based on its credit
rating and the amount allocated to each of them should correspond with the financial institution’s and Tarjeta
Naranja’s shareholders' equity. The maximum percentage to be invested in an entity is also set considering
the total investments.
In addition, in connection with the risk associated with its customers' credit positions, the Company actively
monitors the credit reliability of its customers in order to mitigate the credit risk.
In order to manage and control the credit risk for the customer portfolio, the Company implemented a credit
and credit assessment policy for each customer so as to provide the following guidelines in this regard, with
the main features:
Use tools to analyze and assess the risk that best suits the customer's profile.
Establish guidelines to grant cards and loans based on the customer’s solvency.
Grant credit limits to each customer based on the assessment of each customer’s particular
situation, generally without requiring guarantees and taking into account the customer's monthly
income, among other aspects.
Credit atomization.
Geographic diversity.
Sixty-nine per cent of accounts have a total credit limit lower than AR$ 18.
Monitor customers’ degree of compliance on an ongoing basis.
In this respect, five different credit limits have been defined in Tarjeta Naranja S.A.: (i) the Monthly Balance
Limit, which is set based on the applicant's net income and which is the maximum amount in the aggregate
for a customer’s monthly installments; (ii) the Long-term Purchase Limit, which is the maximum amount for
the customer to purchase in 6 or more installments; (iii) Total Indebtedness Limit, which is equivalent to the
aggregation of the Long-term Purchase Limit and three times the Monthly Balance Limit (“Total Indebtedness
Limit”): which is the maximum amount that may be owed to Tarjeta Naranja S.A. by customers for any and all
amounts owed; and (iv) the Maximum Balance Limit for Cash Advances, which represents 50% of the Longterm Purchase Limit, for a maximum amount of AR$ 2.5 ("Maximum Balance Limit for Cash Advances"),
which is the maximum amount for cash withdrawals; (v) the Limit for Loans to be repaid up to 18 months.

4.1 Financial Risk Management (Continued)
4.1.1 Financial Risk Factors (Continued)
(a) Credit Risk (Continued)
Furthermore, Tarjeta Naranja S.A. has a strong policy to address customers’ payment in arrears, as follows:
A)
At an early arrears stage, i.e., shorter than 90 days, the debtor has a series of products, each of which
is designed for a specific instance of arrears that allows the debtor to redress the situation of
temporary arrears in order to settle payables to the Company.
To qualify for the products, the customer always has to pay the first installment of the plan or deliver at
least 7% of the debt outstanding.
B)
At a late arrears stage, i.e., as from 90 days, the account is closed, all the terms granted are cancelled
and the outstanding amount is automatically assigned to a law firm for collection.
This term is restricted to 60 days for those customers that have a financing product with such a level of
arrears in payment.
The risk of default under a loan may vary in each customer’s particular case, depending — among other
factors — on each customer’s own economic situation. The Company assesses the uncollectibility risk and
sets allowances, which are calculated based on the criterion described under caption 2.9 in Note 2 to these
financial statements, and such allowances are deemed adequate for the recognition of possible losses
arising from credit losses.
Due to the nature of this activity, there is no risk of credit risk concentration in this group of debtors, since
credit cards are given to a large number of customers, being none of them significant, who carry out a very
wide range of activities.
In this sense and taking into account the foregoing, the Company has approved the following credit card
limits for customers as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

(b) Liquidity Risk
The Company has a liquidity policy that is monitored through annual, monthly and daily cash estimates,
analyzing the needs and/or surpluses generated, evaluating the availability of cash and the available
financing alternatives. Projected cash inflows and outflows for the next months are weekly analyzed and
decisions focused on obtaining optimum credit lines are made in order to attain the goals set.
Also, the credit lines borrowed are reinforced by executing commitment agreements that allow having cash
immediately, both in normal financial context and in market liquidity contraction situations.
With respect to Bank and Financial Loans, which includes instruments such as bank and financial loans,
checking account overdrafts, financial leases and notes (“obligaciones negociables”) publicly offered,
regarding the short- and long-term allocation, provided that the market allows it, the Company’s aim is to
keep a balanced allocation of debt due dates, giving priority to long-term debt.

Exchange Rate-associated Risks
The Company’s operations are potentially exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations mainly due
to amounts outstanding of notes (“obligaciones negociables”) denominated in U.S. dollars. As the
Company’s policy is based on mitigating the exchange rate risk related to its business and operations, a
series of forward foreign currency hedging transactions were performed with respect to the foreign currencydenominated debt in order to hedge the exchange rate risk to which they would be otherwise exposed.
Derivatives are foreign currency hedge contracts executed by the Company to cover its cash flows exposure
arising from Class XIII, Class XVI Series I (amortized at the prior fiscal year-end) and Class XVI Series II
(amortized at this fiscal year-end) Notes (“Obligaciones Negociables”). Note 36 lists the effective contracts
as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Derivative instruments signed were agreed by the Company’s Management for the risk management of
financial variables and as a hedging strategy adopted to minimize the economic risk involved in the
appreciation or depreciation of currencies arising from the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates and
its impact on the related cash flows.

Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value at the beginning date of the contract and are
subsequently measured at fair value, charged to income / (loss).
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had recorded AR$ 115,602 at present values in current assets
(which was disclosed in the line “Other Receivables”), with a contra account amounting to AR$ 135,943 in
“Income from Financing” to reflect changes in the accounting measurement accrued to date.
The variation in the U.S. dollar exchange rate during fiscal year 2013 was a 33% increase in both the selling
and buying exchange rates. The change related to the bank and financial loan undertaken by the Company
was reflected in income (loss), net of income tax in the amount of AR$ 225,277.
In addition, the Company has cash and investments in foreign currency, the change of which resulted in a
foreign exchange gain during fiscal year 2013, which was reflected in income (loss), net of income tax in the
amount of AR$ 11,692.
The following table shows the sensitivity towards a possible 25% and 35% change p.a. both in the buying
and selling U.S. dollar exchange rates.

If the U.S. dollar increased by a 25% p.a., the annual loss, net of income tax for the debt, net of foreign
currency investments would amount to AR$ 200,591 as a result of a higher expense for foreign exchange
losses. Otherwise, if the U.S. dollar decreased by such percentage, the effect on income (loss), net of
income tax would be income for the same amount.
Also, if the U.S. dollar increased by 25% p.a. for the derivative contracts as of December 31, 2013, the
annual income, net of income tax would amount to AR$180,319. Otherwise, if the U.S. dollar decreased by
such percentage, the effect on income (loss), net of income tax would be loss for the same amount.
If the U.S. dollar increased by a 35% p.a., the annual loss, net of income tax for the debt, net of foreign
currency investments would amount to AR$ 280,827 as a result of a higher expense for foreign exchange
losses. Otherwise, if the U.S. dollar decreased by such percentage, the effect on income (loss), net of
income tax would be income for the same amount. Such income (loss) would be absorbed by effective
hedge contracts as of that date.
Also, if the U.S. dollar increased by 35% p.a. for the derivative contracts as of December 31, 2013, the
annual income, net of income tax would amount to AR$ 185,014. Otherwise, if the U.S. dollar decreased by
such percentage, the effect on the income (loss), net of income tax would be loss for the same amount.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had recorded at present values AR$ 1,631 (disclosed in “Bank and
Financial Loans”) in current liabilities and AR$ 958 (disclosed in “Other Receivables”) in current assets, with
a contra account amounting to AR$ 4,817 in “Expenses from Financing” to reflect changes in the accounting
measurement accrued to date.
The variation in the U.S. dollar exchange rate during fiscal year 2012 was a 14% increase in both the selling
and buying exchange rates. The change related to the bank and financial loan undertaken by the Company
was reflected in the income (loss), net of income tax in the amount of AR$ 92,388.
In addition, the most significant assets in foreign currency were held in cash to meet obligations in U.S.
dollars. The change therein resulted in a foreign exchange gain during fiscal year 2012, which was reflected
in the income (loss), net of income tax in the amount of AR$ 3,514.
Interest Rate-associated Risks
The Company is exposed to interest rate risks due to financings obtained through the issuance of notes
(“obligaciones negociables”) and borrowing of financial leases, checking account overdrafts and loans at
variable rate. In all cases, the applicable rate is private Badlar (the interest rate for time deposits amounting
to over AR$ 1,000,000, with a 30/35-day term in private banks, published by the Argentine Central Bank on
its web page (www.bcra.gov.ar)).

The table below includes the analysis of financial instruments that are measured at fair value, classified by
hierarchy, according to the measurement method used. The different levels have been defined as follows:
a)
Level 1: (Unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
b)
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., price derivatives).
c)
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., unobservable inputs).

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted prices as of the reporting
date. A market is considered to be active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an
exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency, and those prices represent
actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The market quoted price used
for financial assets held by the entity is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is measured using valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of market information, when available, and
depend the least possible on the entity’s specific estimates.

4.1.5 Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Estimates and judgments are continuously assessed and are based on past experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are deemed reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments
The Company makes estimates and assumptions on the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by
definition, will be rarely equal to the related actual figures. The estimates and judgments that have a
significant risk of giving rise to a material adjustment to the book amounts of assets and liabilities in the
following fiscal year are explained below.

4.1. Financial Risk Management (Continued)
4.1.6. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgments (Continued)
(a) Estimated Loss for Impairment of Financial Assets Recorded at Amortized Cost
The Company follows the guidance in IAS 39 to calculate the allowance for credit losses related to its
portfolio of receivables from services and other receivables. For this estimation, the Company evaluates the
customers’ historical patterns of behavior, among other factors, as well as the existing macroeconomic
conditions at fiscal year-end, as explained in detail in Note 2.9.
(b) Income Tax
The Company is subject to income tax. As explained in detail in Note 2.12, income tax is recognized in
these financial statements by applying the deferred income tax method, thus recognizing the assets and
liabilities related to the temporary differences identified in calculating taxable income. Such differences will
have an effect on income tax and the provisions for deferred income taxes in the year when they are made.
(c) Provisions
The Company is subject to several claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customers’
claims. The potential loss for the Company in relation to these claims is estimated considering the
information provided by the legal advisors, as explained in detail in Note 32.
4.1.7 Material Judgments upon Applying the Company’s Accounting Policies
No material judgments have been made upon applying the accounting policies.

NOTE 32 – PROVISIONS
This account includes the estimated amounts to face risks of probable occurrence, which, if they occur, will
give rise to a loss for the Company.
(1) Legal Claims:
The Company is subject to several claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customers’ claims,
where a third party is claiming payments for alleged damages, refunds for losses or compensation. The
potential debt for the Company with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be
certainly estimated. Management periodically reviews the progress of each of the significant issues and
calculates the potential financial exposure.
A provision is booked when a potential loss derived from a claim or legal proceeding is deemed likely and the
amount can be fairly estimated.
At the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company’s situation with the Argentine Association
of Consumers and Users Protection (ADECUA, as per its initials in Spanish) is as follows:
In 2008, ADECUA brought a legal action against Tarjeta Naranja for undue collection of the life insurance
charge payable. In 2009, the parties signed a transactional agreement, where it was agreed to decrease the
amount of collection of the life insurance charge payable and allow customers to claim the reimbursement of
a portion of the amounts collected, if applicable, by filing an individual request. This agreement was
approved by the court and all the requirements established by the judge hearing the case were met, to such
an extent that, once the term to comply with the court decision had elapsed, all the acts performed by Tarjeta
Naranja were submitted to the judge, without any objection by the latter to the outcome of the proceedings.
In 2013, the same court summons the parties to a hearing and after it the court issues a decision, whereby it
understands that the amounts collected for the life insurance payable should be reimbursed to all the
customers from whom this charge had been collected and not only those who had requested the
reimbursement, as provided by the agreement previously approved. The decision was appealed before the
respective Court of Appeals considering that the Company carried out all the actions undertaken in due time
and manner and proved so before the judge hearing the case. Therefore, we believe that the outcome of the
proceedings should not have a material financial effect.
Provisions for contingent losses reflect a fair estimation of the losses to be incurred based on the information
made available by Management as of the date of the preparation of the financial statements and considering
the lawsuits to which Tarjeta Naranja is a party. These estimations are mainly prepared with the assistance
provided by the legal advisors.
(2) Tax Claims:
As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is in the following situation with respect to certain
Provincial Tax Boards and the Argentine IRS (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos – “AFIP”):
Provincial Tax Boards
The Company has a dispute with the General Tax Board of the Province of Córdoba regarding turnover tax
claimed for tax periods running from January 1997 to May 2003.

NOTE 32 – PROVISIONS (CONTINUED)
(2) Tax Claims (Continued):
On July 30, 2010, the Court of Appeals in Federal Administrative Matters declared null and void the
resolutions passed by the General Tax Board. The General Tax Board appealed the decision and, at the
date of these financial statements, the case is pending a decision by the Supreme Court of Justice of the
Province of Córdoba.
The full amount claimed by the Tax Board of the Province of Córdoba, plus additional charges, amounted to
AR$ 1,205 at the time of the last calculation. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, this amount, including the
respective interest, totaled AR$ 2,095 and AR$ 1,975, respectively.
At the date of these financial statements, the provisions booked in liabilities related to the cases described
above had been adjusted based on the opinion of the legal advisors, the judicial case law referred to above
and the favorable evolution thereof.
Likewise, the Tax Boards of the Provinces of Catamarca and Chubut have made claims for the same items.
As of December 31, 2013, such claims totaled AR$ 1,832 and AR$ 3,437, respectively. As of December 31,
2012, such amounts totaled AR$ 1,832 and AR$ 2,716, respectively.
Concerning the issues described above, Tarjeta Naranja S.A.'s Board of Directors, based on tax advisors'
opinions, considers the taxes involved have been appropriately calculated according to legal regulations
currently in force, and those tax authorities’ claims have no legal or technical grounds. Therefore, the
Company is currently exercising — and will exercise in the future — its constitutional rights in order to clarify
and settle said issues. However, the Company — as in all cases where a judicial litigation is involved and
based on a prudence criterion — has included certain provisions into the Company’s liabilities, which are
determined based on the opinion of tax advisors and considering the evolution of the cases described above.
Argentine IRS (“Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos” - AFIP)
Tarjeta Naranja S.A. has lodged appeals before the Federal Tax Court with regard to the adjustments made
by the AFIP. Such adjustments had to do with the method to be used for the deduction of credit losses when
determining the Income Tax, corresponding to fiscal years 1999 and 2000.
The Argentine Supreme Court of Justice, in rulings related to Tarjeta Naranja S.A. and Banco Francés S.A.,
has issued favorable decisions with regard to controversies over the method used for the deduction of credit
losses that was similar to the Company’s. In addition, in May 2011, the Federal Tax Court issued a similar
decision in a case related to Tarjetas Cuyanas S.A. This supported the criterion for the deduction of credit
losses adopted by the Company.
In May 2012, the Federal Tax Court issued a decision in favor of the Company for the tax periods 1999 and
2000 referred to above, where it decided to revoke the Decisions that determined the adjustments, with costs
awarded against the AFIP. On December 19, 2013, and in the face of the appeal filed by the AFIP, the Court
of Appeals in Federal Administrative Matters dismissed the appeal filed by the former, confirming the
judgment entered by the Federal Tax Court and thus validating the Company’s tax criterion.

NOTE 36 - FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGE CONTRACTS (CONTINUED)

agreed forward exchange rate, the counterparty undertakes to pay the Company an amount equivalent to
the above-mentioned exchange-rate difference, multiplied by the amount of foreign currency hedged, (ii) if
on the settlement date the spot exchange rate for the settlement is lower than the agreed forward exchange
rate, the Company undertakes to pay the counterparty an amount equivalent to the above-mentioned
exchange-rate difference, multiplied by the amount of foreign currency hedged; and (iii) if on the settlement
date the spot exchange rate for the settlement is the same as the agreed forward exchange rate, the
parties will not be entitled to make any claim whatsoever to each other.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded at present values AR$ 115,602 in assets and
AR$135,943 in the Statement of Income for the effective contracts during the fiscal year to reflect changes
in the accounting measurement accrued to date.

16. ALLOWANCES
Current allowances exceed 2% of shareholders’ equity. Under IFRS, for the calculation of
the allowance for credit losses, the Company analyzes the historical losses of its portfolio in
order to estimate the losses related to receivables from services incurred as of the date of
the financial statements, but that have not been individually identified, according to the
guidelines set out in IAS 39. In addition, the historical ratios are adjusted, if appropriate, to
include recent information that reflects the economic conditions as of the closing date of the
financial statements, trends of behavior in the industry, geographic or customer
concentrations in each portfolio segment and any other information that could affect the
estimation of the allowance for credit losses related to receivables from services. Several
factors may affect Management’s estimation of the allowance for credit losses, including the
volatility of the likelihood of loss, migrations and estimates of the severity of losses.
17. CONTINGENCIES
There are no significant contingent situations as of December 31, 2013, which have not
been given accounting recognition.
18. DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED SHARES
There are no preferred shares.
19. RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF UNDISTRIBUTED PROFITS
Restrictions on the distribution of undistributed profits are detailed in notes 33 and 43 to the
financial statements as of December 31, 2013.

Tarjeta Naranja S.A.
Summary of Activity
As of December 31, 2013
(Free Translation from the Original in Spanish for Publication in Argentina)
As of December 31, 2013, we have 2.51 million open accounts, thus achieving a 7.5% growth
when compared to the previous year. These customers made more than 118 million purchases
during the fiscal year, what represents an interannual 16% increase. If we measure the average
consumption per active account during such period, there was a 26% increase at current
values.
Also, these operating indicators were accompanied by Income before Income Tax amounting to
AR$ 755 million, whereas the shareholders’ equity exceeded AR$ 1,942 million.
Financial Aspects
Within the framework of the Global Program of Notes (“Obligaciones Negociables”), in February
the Company issued Class XX Notes for a total of AR$ 243.5 million, in May Class XXI Notes
for a total of AR$ 201.8 million, in August Class XXII Notes for a total of AR$ 156 million and in
December Class XXIII Notes for a total of AR$ 187.2 million.
In turn, during the fiscal year, loans and checking account overdrafts were taken for AR$ 670
million, and others were extended for AR$ 233 million.
Throughout the fiscal year, payments on account of amortization of principal and interest related
to Notes (“Obligaciones Negociables”), Bank Loans and Financial Leases were made for AR$
1,109.9 million and US$ 33.2 million.
Evolution
During the year, we added six stores to our branch network: Villa Crespo and Villa del Parque in
CABA; Perico in the Province of Jujuy; Puerto Iguazú in the Province of Misiones, and La
Calera and Mina Clavero in the Province of Córdoba. Furthermore, we continued making
progress in the construction of the new corporate building in the city of Córdoba.
Outlook
During 2014, we will work on broadening the customer’s experience, increasing efficiency in all
areas and achieving improvements in processes with the support of the LEAN methodology.
Adopting this system in several key processes is one of the most important steps taken in 2013
that will be continued in 2014. We will continue changing other processes and we will work to
ensure that the improvements achieved are maintained over time
Regarding economic aspects, we will continue adapting to the real macroeconomic situation,
which has a significant influence on the course of our operations.

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE’S REPORT
To the Directors and Shareholders of
Tarjeta Naranja S.A.
Legal Domicile: Sucre 151
CÓRDOBA-ARGENTINA
1.
In our capacity as members of the Supervisory Committee, we have examined Tarjeta
Naranja S.A.’s financial statements as of December 31, 2013, which include the Annual
Report, the Inventory, the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2013, the
Statement of Income, the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, and the Statements of
Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2013, and explanatory and supplementary notes. The preparation and issuance of those
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company.
2. The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fairly presentation of
these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS), adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences
(FACPCE) as professional accounting standards and added by the National Securities
Commission (C.N.V.) to its regulations, as approved by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB).
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on the examination we performed with
the scope specified in paragraph 3 below.
3. Our examination was carried out in accordance with standards applicable in Argentina to
members of the Supervisory Committee. These standards require our examination to be
performed in accordance with the professional auditing standards applicable in Argentina
and include verifying the fairness of the relevant information disclosed in the documents
examined and its consistency with the remaining information concerning corporate
decisions we have learnt about, as disclosed in minutes, and the conformity of those
decisions with the law and the bylaws insofar as concerns formal and documental aspects.
For purposes of our professional work, we have reviewed the work performed by the
external auditors of Tarjeta Naranja S.A., Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., who issued their
audit report on February 17, 2014, without any qualified opinion. An audit requires that the
auditor plans and performs the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial
statements are free of material misstatements or significant errors. An audit includes
examining, on a selective-test basis, the judgmental elements supporting the information
disclosed in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
standards used and the significant estimates made by the Company, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We have not assessed the business criteria
regarding the different areas of the Company, as these matters are the Company’s exclusive
responsibility.
We also report that, in compliance with the legality control that is part of our field of
competence, during this period we have applied the other procedures described in Section
294 of Law No. 19550, which we deemed necessary according to the circumstances,
including —among others— controlling the constitution and survival of the Directors' bond.
We believe that the work we performed provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
4. In our opinion – within the scope mentioned above – Tarjeta Naranja S.A.’s financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of December 31, 2013, the
operating income, the changes in the shareholders' equity and the cash flows for the year then
ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Those financial
statements give consideration to all significant facts and circumstances which are known to us. As
regards the Board of Directors’ Annual Report, the Report on the Degree of Compliance with the
Code on Corporate Governance and the Summary of Activity and Additional Information, we
have no observations to make, and the assertions on future events are the exclusive responsibility
of the Board of Directors. In compliance with the legality control that is part of our field of
competence, we have no observations to make.
Furthermore, we report the following: a) the accompanying financial statements and the
corresponding inventory stem from accounting records kept, in all formal aspects, in compliance
with legal regulations prevailing in Argentina; b) as called for by Section 21, Chapter III, Part VI,
Title II of the Regulations issued by the Argentine National Securities Commission concerning
the independence of external auditors as well as the quality of the auditing policies applied by
them and the Company’s accounting policies, the abovementioned external auditor’s report
includes a representation indicating that the auditing standards in force have been applied, these
standards include independence requirements, and contain no observations relative to the
application of said professional accounting standards, and c) we have applied the procedures
concerning anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing procedures, as established in the
respective professional standards issued by the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the
Province of Córdoba.
