FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING MARCH 18 OF 2015 MANAGEMENT REPORT Messrs. Shareholders:
We are glad to present to you the report of activities and results of fiscal year 2014.
I.- EXTERNAL ISSUES: GOLD PRICE Despite the gold price volatility along 2014, variations between beginning and closing quotes were not significant. After the sharp fall of last year, the commodity’s price fell by 0.7% since 2013 closing date from USD1,204.50 per ounce to USD1,196.00 per ounce. The maximum price observed along the year was USD1,385.00/oz and the minimum USD1,142.00/oz, behavior that is explained by the solid recovery of the leading economic indicators in the United States which prompted total dismounting of the QE3 monetary stimuli and raised expectations of an increase in the federal funds interest rate in 2015; this event significantly appreciated the US Dollar versus all other currencies, considerably reducing the appetite for the precious metal.
GOLD PRICE EVOLUTION BETWEEN JANUARY AND DECEMBER OF 2014 6
Management report
During 2014 the world’s mining output increased by 2.06% to 3,114 tons. Scrap supply (recycled gold) fell by 11.09% to 1,122 tons – the lowest in the last 6 years. Likewise, the supply for ETFs decreased sharply from 880 tons in 2013 to 159 tons in 2014, a decline of 82%. From the perspective of demand, worldwide jewelry fabrication, which contributes with about 50% of such, fell by 9.7% to 2,153 tons. Central banks kept on increasing their reserves to a total of 477 tons during 2014, 17% up on a year ago. The demand for ingots and coins dropped by about 40% to 1,064 tons. A reduction in the mining output supply is expected for 2015 due to both the closing of some operations and the decrease of reserves resulting from the gold price decline since 2011; nonetheless, the risk of lower prices continues latent considering the possible increase in United States interest rates and the economic deceleration observed in Europe and Asia.

GOLD PRICE EVOLUTION DURING THE LAST 10 YEARS
PRODUCCIÓN EN ONZAS Y VOLUMEN m3 OPERACIÓN ALUVIAL (cifras en miles)
II. INTERNAL ISSUES A. OUTPUT At 95,355 ounces, alluvial gold output for the year was 1.2% up on 2013. At 22,295 ounces, underground output was 54.8% higher than in 2013, year when the company experienced a labor strike of 79 days. Hemco’s output was 64,928 ounces for total consolidated output of 182,578 ounces of gold. Output estimates for current year are: - Alluvial operation – 83,735 oz - Underground operation – 24,647 oz - Hemco – 73,840 oz - Estimated total – 182,213 oz
The expected decrease in alluvial operation is due to a change in the exploitation policy defined by the board of directors on the basis of the deposit’s life expectation; it is intended that by working lower grades, and considering the current information regarding reserves and mining properties, the deposit’s life could be extended to 16 years.
B. RESERVE BALANCE At December 31, 2014, alluvial mineral reserves including proved reserves and measured and indicated resources totaled 337 cubic meters with 1,342,310 ounces of equivalent fine gold. At the underground operation of La Ye mine there are 605,000 tons with content of 95,000 ounces of equivalent gold including proved reserves and measured and indicated resources. The company carries out brownfield exploration campaigns so as to maintain a reserve balance that permits smooth planning of future operations.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
C. INVESTMENTS During the year, the company earmarked $45,249 million for new projects of which, $16,902 million were conducted via leasing and $28,347 with own funds. One of the major investments was stage III of Providencia hydroelectric power plant. This project experienced major delays and cost overruns due to the presence of a geological fault very difficult to overcome as well as to the region’s public order situation. We expect to start generating in March, which will permit us to trade, beginning in April, the energy not used in the operation. The other project carried out during the year was the reconstruction of dredge No. 5, conducted in less time than as estimated and within budget.
III. FOREIGN SECTOR AND OTHER ISSUES TO HIGHLIGHT
We have maintained very good relations with the trade unions representing our workers both in the alluvial operation and in Operadora Minera. As to the latter, the conflict arising during the negotiation of a new collective bargaining agreement in 2013 was solved through an arbitration award. The company demanded some of its clauses, and given that by the end of the year there was not yet a decision regarding the issue, it summoned the workers in order to find a solution, and additionally, to conduct negotiations of a new agreement for the October 2014 - October 2016 period. We consider the agreement reached fair for the parties and in accordance with the operation’s economic capability. With the alluvial operation’s union, whose collective bargaining agreement expires next May 1st, we will start negotiations we hope will yield a good arrangement considering the current conditions of the company in the face of lower gold prices.
1. MINING SECTOR
4. GROWTH PLAN
The country’s conditions continue to be very difficult for the conduction of mining activities. In addition to the legal instability regarding issues that affect the sector, the mounting opposition from communities to the mining activity has found no decided support by authorities despite the companies’ full compliance with the law.
Under its future plans and given the external and internal circumstances, the company has modified its strategy aiming its growth to the acquisition of projects in advanced exploration stages or already in production
On the other hand, the illegal exploitation of minerals continues causing serious damages to the environment creating difficult situations in exploitation areas and notoriously affecting the image of companies that attest to the possibility of responsible and sustainable mining. The company has been working with mining authorities to find an adequate solution for the activity of artisanal miners; however, red tape thwarts such programs.
2. ORDEN PÚBLICO The company received during the year the invaluable support of the national military forces for the protection of people and assets. Our deepest gratitude, without such the permanence of the company would not be possible. The company invested in security and risk coverage for its equipment the following amounts: • For insurance premiums $3,487 million • For comprehensive protection $5,437 million

3. LABOR RELATIONS
Management report
Additionally, our efforts will focus on increasing operation resources for Hemco Nicaragua S.A., where there are excellent growth perspectives, with estimated exploration investment of USD8 million for this year.
5. CROPS As part of our environmental compensation and sustainable development program, we have continued our planting activities of rubber trees and other species. Progress so far is as follows: • 700 hectares planted • 190 hectares to be planted in 2015. All these properties are located in the municipalities of Zaragoza and Caucasia (Antioquia province). Since the Guatemalan companies declined investing in this project we are conducting conversations with Colombian companies who could contribute not only funds but also knowledge about the market and its management.
In keeping our commitment to corporate social responsibility in the company’s area of influence, and seeking the inhabitants’ well-being and the enhancement of the towns’ self-management abilities, we have developed a wide program spanning several fronts. The efforts of our team of experts in these areas are already bearing fruit, especially as regards to housing, health, education, and community management. We specially recommend reading the report of the endeavors carried out in 2014, also being handed today, since it shows significant advances in this field which is part of the value we add to our shareholders. Here we especially highlight the creation of the ENVIRONMENTAL MINING CENTER, a project developed in association with the government of Antioquia Province, SENA and the municipality of El Bagre that started activities in January with 450 students. At the center, students will be trained in activities related to mining, the region’s vocation, permitting their entrance to the formal economy A. Beekeeping productive project. With international cooperation funds managed by our foundation we have increased this program’s scope going from 38 to 174 benefited families, with an average of 22 beehives per family. B. Recovery of environmental liabilities created by informal mining. Its first stage is financed by royalties and has the endorsement of the Secretary of Mines of the Province of Antioquia. 132 ha have been identified in El Bagre and Zaragoza to be recovered under our model of agrarian-forest farms. C. Subscription to the United Nations Global Compact. Subscription to the Red Colombiana contra el Trabajo Infantil (Colombian Network against Child Labor). D. Improvement of the communities’ physical infrastructure. Resources for bridges, roads, public utilities, recreation, educational institutions, etc. E. Community living. Through harmony and safety committees and with training of leaders in issues related to human rights, social management, citizen ombudsmen organizations, etc. This program was chosen by “Programémonos para la paz” of the Antioquia Province Government as the model to be replicated in the province’s municipalities.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Two important recognitions were received in 2014. • National Award to Management Excellence and Innovation granted by Corporación Calidad with the support of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Tourism. • Andesco award to CSR “Environment” in the category Other Sector of the National Economy. Both recognitions fill us with pride and boost our commitment to the search for worldwide organizational practices.
IV. ASSOCIATED COMPANIES A. HEMCO NICARAGUA S.A.
With a highly qualified technical team decisively committed to our goals, we have devoted a large portion of our efforts particularly to the following areas: 1. Regularizing the artisanal mining model by supporting the cooperatives and quality controls to the mineral delivered by them. 2. Development of plant-efficiency improvement projects having reached today 1,000 tons of daily production with a recovery factor of 85% and availability above 80%. 3. Improving the mine’s operational aspects both in production and in development and brownfield exploration to increase the balance of reserves. 4. Project to integrate processes with Mineros in order to achieve better practices and procedures. 5. Maintenance of good relations with authorities and communities, and strict environmental, industrial-safety and occupational-health controls. Main indicators for the company during 2014 were: • • • • • •
Output – 64,928 ounces Number of persons employed – 1,391 Total revenue – USD80,715,867 Total salaries paid – USD12,867,405 Total taxes and royalties paid – USD3,207,878 EBITDA Margin – 17.90%

FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
B. EXPLORADORA MINERA S.A.S.
As mentioned before, we have decreased exploration activities in incipient projects having focused instead on searching for investment opportunities. Also, and in order to lower unnecessary costs, we have carried out a detailed review of the company’s titles to discard and return those titles with no good possibilities of becoming viable projects and to reduce the personnel engaged in such tasks. The Nechí project is not financially feasible yet considering the deposit conditions and current gold prices. The corporation posted net income for $108 million, and finished the year with 53 workers in its payroll.
C. OPERADORA MINERA S.A.S.
This is the company currently carrying out underground exploitation operations. In this deposit we have sought to improve efficiency and lower costs in order to make it profitable even at current prices. Its main figures were: • • • •
Total tons produced – 126,904 Equivalent gold output – 23,284 oz Recovery percentage – 86.7% EBITDA Margin – 18%
The corporation posted net income for $650 million, and finished the year with 695 workers in its payroll.

D. COMPAÑÍA MINERA DE ATACO S.A.S.
At our shareholders’ meeting of 2012 we reported that in order to obtain the environmental license for this project we had fully redesigned extraction and processing and had renounced to some of the areas susceptible of exploitation. We are still waiting for CORTOLIMA’s approval of the environmental management plan submitted to their consideration in July of 2012 in order to start this project whose estimated output is 20,000 ounces per year.
E. UNIPALMA DE LOS LLANOS S.A.
Mineros S.A. owns 17.4% stake at this corporation. Its output for 2014 was 63,575 tons of own fruit and 25,141 tons of third parties’ fruit. Net sales totaled $40,454 million, EBITDA was $1,599 million and net income $818 million.
V. ANÁLISIS FINANCIERO Sales at $302,309 million were 5% higher than in 2013. Total output went to export reaching a net sum of USD151 million. Average price at USD1,275.13 per ounce equals 9.8% decrease over 2013, which was offset in part in the last quarter by the devaluation of the Peso.
Management report
Costo total Cash cost
Costo Total y Cash Cost (Dólares por onza)
2014
Operating income – $105,589 million Net income – $45,420 million • Financial revenues: At the end of the fiscal year, the company showed an investment portfolio worth $38,967 million, 37% of which corresponds to shares quoted on the Stock Exchange, 0.3% to investments abroad, and the balance, to fixed-income securities in Colombia. Revenue from this activity included $858 million from sale of investments, $189 million from dividends, and $5,924 million from yields of fixed-income securities. As of December 31st 2014, appreciation of shares listed on the Stock Exchange reached $658 million. • EBITDA – $143,373 million, equivalent to 47% of sales. Equity – Shareholders’ equity grew by 11% from $567,181 million to $630,328 million with corresponding stock’s book value at $2,408. The quote of the stock of Mineros S.A. lost 34% value while the IGBC depreciated by 11%. • Indebtedness: In order to have title to the investment in HEMCO NICARAGUA S. A. acquired under a special purpose vehicle, the company hired a USD50 million loan. Due to legal formalities the acquisition of the shareholding had not been legalized; as a result, the corresponding entry in the balance sheet appears as an advance payment. • Operating margin was 35% versus 39% in 2013 due to increased environmental costs Net income margin at 15% is the same as in 2013
VI. MISCELLANEOUS A. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS – IFRS Colombia will start applying International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2015. Adoption of such standards is first required from stock issuers meaning substantial changes in the financial and accounting structure of companies. In compliance with instructions issued by the Financial Superintendency, the Opening Statement of Financial Position (ESFA for its Spanish initials) was submitted to them on July 30, 2014, while the first Financial Statements under IFRS will be issued on December 31, 2015. To adapt to the new policies it is necessary to record against results any investment made in exploration, and only the portion corresponding to the feasibility stage can be capitalized. For this reason the company carried against results (other expenditures) the accumulated cost of unsuccessful exploration projects or incipient-stage projects ($15,260 million). There is a difference with the Statutory Auditor office regarding the account where this figure is to be recorded; however, this does not alter the final effect on the company’s net results. This decision had a major impact on our results but it permits us to advance in the streamlining of balance sheet accounts that will be at any rate mandatory in the next years.
B. SAP PROJECT With investment of $11,979, the company implemented an ERP (SAP) for the financial, payroll and supply chain areas. With the difficulties characteristic of these processes, it is already fully operational, something that will highly improve controls and funds earmarking.

company faces no legal processes that may affect its economic stability.
D. No other operation with corporations in which members of the Board of Directors have direct or indirect economic interest was carried out along the year.
This report contains, as a part of itself, the provisions of article 446 of the Code of Commerce. The books and reports mandated by Law have been made available to the shareholders since convening date of this meeting.
E. As explained before, our production estimates for 2015 are
smaller than those of 2014 due to Board of Directors policy of working in lower grade zones so as to expand the company’s term.
F. The managers and the Board of Directors certify that: A. The company fully complies with all rules regarding intellectual property and copyrights. B. In compliance with paragraph 2 of Article 87 of Law 1676 of 2013, the company states that it has not hindered the free circulation of invoices issued by sellers or suppliers.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT
FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT To the shareholders of MINEROS S.A. I have audited the balance sheets of MINEROS S.A. at December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the corresponding statements of income, of changes in shareholders’ equity, of changes in financial position, and of cash flows for the years then ended, as well as the summary of the main accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Management is responsible for the preparation and correct presentation of the financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia. Such responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system adequate for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, free from significant errors due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and establishing the accounting estimates that are reasonable under the circumstances. My responsibility is to audit said financial statements and express an opinion thereon based on my audits. I obtained the
14
Statutory auditors’ report
information necessary to comply with my duties and carry out my work in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to satisfy myself that the financial statements are free from significant errors. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, the evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements. The audit procedures selected depend on the auditor’s professional judgment, including an evaluation of the risk of significant errors in the financial statements. In evaluating the risk, the statutory auditor considers the company’s internal control relevant for the preparation and reasonable presentation of the financial statements, in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I consider that my audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion which I express.As mentioned in Note 11 to the financial statements, the company at December 31, 2014 and 2013 recognized and classified as other expenditures the amortization of unsuccessful mining projects worth $15,260 million and $48,863 million,
Statutory auditors’ report
respectively. Such expenses should have been classified as amortization expenses. In my opinion, except for the effect of the classification of expenses on the income statement of 2014 and 2013 as indicated above, the aforementioned financial statements, taken from the accounting books, present fairly, in every significant aspect, the financial position of MINEROS S.A. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the results of its operations, the changes in its equity, the changes in its financial position, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia, applied on uniform basis. Also, based on the scope of my audit, except for what has been mentioned in the fourth paragraph, I report that the company’s books were kept in conformity with legal requirements and accounting techniques; the transactions recorded in the accounting books and the administrators’ acts complied with the bylaws and the decisions of the Shareholders’ Meeting and the Board of Directors; the correspondence, the accounting vouchers, the minutes books and share register were properly kept and safeguarded; the management report agrees with the
basic financial statements; the company is not in default with the contributions to the Integral Social Security System; and mechanisms for prevention and control of asset laundering have been implemented as established in External Circular Letter No. 60 of 2008. My evaluation of the internal control carried out in order to establish the scope of my audit tests did not reveal that the company had not followed adequate measures with respect to internal control and the preservation and custody of its assets and those of third parties in its possession.

MINEROS S.A.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31 OF 2014 AND 2013
(In thousands of Colombian pesos, except where stated otherwise)
NOTE 1.
COMPANY OPERATIONS Mineros de Antioquia S.A. is a private corporation established on November 14, 1974 by public deed No 6161 of the 4th Notary Public Office of Medellin for a term of ninety-nine (99) years. According to decision of the regular shareholders’ meeting of March 17 of 2004, minutes No. 43, the corporate name was changed to MINEROS S.A. Such decision was formalized through public deed No. 1038 of April 19 of 2004 of the 17th Notary Public Office of Medellín. The company has as its purpose the conduction of any type of business, activities, endeavors, acts and contracts related to the mining industry in general, of either precious metals, metallic and non-metallic mineral substances or hydrocarbons. To comply with its corporate purpose, the company’s operation center is located in El Bagre (Antioquia Province) and its main administrative offices in Medellín. In March of 2013, upon authorization of the Board of Directors and due report to the Financial Superintendence as relevant information, Mineros S.A. acquired, through a special corporate vehicle, 90% of the capital stock of Nicaraguan corporation Hemco Nicaragua S.A. This company conducts an important operation of underground gold exploitation, open-pit mining and purchase of gold-content metal to small miners in the region. In 2014, Mineros S.A. directly acquired additional 5% of shares of Hemco Nicaragua S.A. from a minority shareholder.
NOTE 2.

Although they may differ in their final effect, the Management considers that the estimates and assumptions used were adequate under the circumstances and that they agree with the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia. Certain accounting principles applied by the company could disagree with the accounting principles generally accepted in other countries. The main accounting policies used by the company are:
• Accounting system The company uses the accrual accounting system, according to which, revenues and expenditures are recorded when incurred, regardless of whether payment or collection has been in cash.
• Monetary unit According to legal provisions, the monetary unit used by the company for the balance sheet and income statement accounts is the Colombian Peso.
• Materiality The company’s policy for disclosing accounting entries in its financial statements in order to determine their materiality is based on the relative importance of each sub-account with respect to the account group to which it belongs. Accordingly, balance sheet entries at December 31, 2014 representing 5% or more of current assets, other assets, current liabilities, longterm liabilities and equity are disclosed.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
• Investments
The financial statements of Mineros S.A. have been prepared and presented according to accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia, for which purpose the Management has to make certain estimates and assumptions in order to determine the valuation of some of the individual entries in the financial statements and to make the required disclosures.
Investments are accounted at cost, which does not exceed realization value.
Notes to the financial statements
Based on External Circular Letter 011 of 1998 of the Financial Superintendency (former Securities Superintendency), the company classifies investments as follows:
• Investments are classified as fixed-income and variableincome, depending on the return they generate. • According to control, they are classified as controlling and non-controlling, subject to the provisions of the Colombian Code of Commerce. • Investments in subordinate companies in which the company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of capital stock is accounted by the equity method prospectively applied as from January of 1994. Under this method, investments are accounted at cost, and subsequently adjusted, with a credit or charge to the income statement, to recognize the participation in earnings and losses in subordinate companies occurred since January 1, 1994, after eliminating unrealized earnings among subordinate companies and the parent company. For subordinate companies acquired during the reporting period, application of the equity method as regards to increases or decreases in the subordinate company’s equity derived from the period’s results, Opinion No. 2010074197-001 of November 30 of 2010 of the Financial Superintendency providing that the totality of earnings or losses generated during the accounting period must be taken into account, is applied.
• Cash distributions of earnings of these companies are recorded as a decreased value of the investments. Additionally, the proportional participation in other equity accounts of subordinate companies, other than the results of the period, is recorded as increased value of the investments by charging the equity account surplus from equity method. Once the equity method is recorded, if the intrinsic value of the investment is lower than its book value, a provision is charged to the income statement. • Any excess of the investment’s intrinsic value over its book value at the end of the reporting period is accounted separately as re-appraisal of assets charging the equity account revaluation surplus. • Based on the cause or reason motivating the investment, they are voluntary or mandatory.
• Property, plant and equipment These are recorded at cost, which includes inflation adjustments from January 1 of 1992 until December 31 of 2006. Maintenance and repair expenditures that do not increase the useful life of respective assets are recorded as a charge in the income statement, as they are incurred. For accounting effects, depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of assets, using the following depreciation annual rates:
BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
ELECTRIC PLANTS AND NETWORKS
FURNITURE AND FIXTURES
DREDGES
TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT

Notes to the financial statements
• Investments are classified as marketable and long-term, according to the intention of realization. Marketable investments are those easy to realize within a term of up to three calendar years, and for which, there is a serious intention of realization. Long-term investments are those which are seriously intended to be held for at least three calendar years.
Starting January 1, 2012, for fiscal effects, the company adopted the balance-reduction depreciation system (Art. 134 of Fiscal Law), with the exception of those fixed assets on which special deduction for investment in productive real fixed assets had been requested in previous fiscal periods (from 2007 to 2010) as provided in Art. 158-3 of the Fiscal Law. According to the aforementioned rule, these fixed assets can only be depreciated through the straight-line system.
31
FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
For 2014, the company used the special balance-reduction depreciation system to calculate income tax and income tax for equity purposes. Application of the system generated as net effect a lower value of depreciation deduction in taxable income for $4,168,312 ($7,004,622 – $2,836,310), as follows: 1. 1 . $2,836,310 corresponds to increased value of balancereduction depreciation deduction resulting from: • Depreciation for purchase of fixed assets in 2014. • Fiscal value of deduction between fiscal depreciation and per-books depreciation of assets prior to 2014. 2. $7,004,622 corresponds to the decreased value of deduction for balance-reduction depreciation resulting from: • Depreciation for retirement of fixed assets in 2014 • Fiscal value of deduction between fiscal depreciation and per-books depreciation of assets prior to 2014 In 2013, this system’s net effect was a lower amount of depreciation deduction in taxable income for $1,479,388. As provided in article 159 of Law 1607/12, for purchases of fixed assets after January 1, 2013, the residual value was 10% of the respective asset’s cost (0% in 2012).
• Inventories Inventories correspond to materials and consumables, dredge maintenance materials, and others; they are valued at the lowest between average cost and market value. Materials in transit and workshop orders under process are valued at their actual manufacturing or acquisition costs.
• Deferred charges Prepaid expenses These are mainly: insurance premiums that are amortized according to the terms of the respective loans and policies, dredges spare parts and other equipment.
• Deferred charges As provided by accounting and fiscal regulations, amortization policies for deferred charges depend on their nature, as follows: A. Mining projects are amortized on the basis of the deposit’s estimated exploitation time, starting on the date when
32
Notes to the financial statements
respective revenue starts. Unsuccessful exploration investments are amortized in the year when the project was determined as unviable, and at any rate, not later than within the next two (2) years, at Management’s choice. B. Agricultural projects (rubber plantation and bio-factory) are amortized along the estimated cultivation time, upon conclusion of their non-productive period. C. All other deferred charges are accounted at cost; amortization is carried out through the straight-line method with periods ranging between one (1) and five (5) years.
• Exchange gain/loss Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the applicable exchange rate in force on the date of the transaction. Balances receivable, investments abroad, financial liabilities and accounts payable are adjusted monthly. The balances of such accounts at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were translated into Colombian Pesos at the market representative rate for the end of the month as certified by the Financial Superintendency ($2,392.46/USD in 2014 and $1,926.83/USD in 2013). Exchange gain/loss resulting from accounts payable and foreign-currency liabilities used to purchase inventories, deferred charges, and property, plant and equipment are capitalized until the asset is in condition of being used or disposed of; from that moment on, the exchange gain/ loss is recorded against the income statement of the period. All other exchange gains and losses are recorded as financial revenue or expense. As provided in Decree 4918 of 2007, the exchange gain/loss of variable-income investments in subordinate companies abroad is recorded in surplus from equity method as higher or lower value of equity.
• Income tax The company determines the provision for income tax and surtax and the income tax for equity purposes (CREE, for its Spanish initials) on the basis of the highest between taxable income and presumptive income estimating it at rates specified by the tax law; additionally, it records as deferred income tax the effect of temporary differences between per-books and fiscal figures, provided there is reasonable expectation that such differences will revert in the future.
• Income tax for equity purposes (CREE) This new tax, established by Law 1607/12 in benefit of employees, job creation and social investment, is determined on a basis different from that of income tax. The tax rate will be
• Infrastructure assets leasing: Under this type of contract, the company recognizes neither assets nor liabilities for the goods received. Rentals are recorded in the income statement as leasing expenses. Article 89 of Law 223 of 1995 sets the requirements and conditions for an infrastructure leasing contract to be recognized as operational leasing, as follows: 1. The leasing contract term must not be lower than 12 years. 2. T he subject matter of the contract must be development of infrastructure projects in the transportation, power, telecommunications, potable water and basic sanitation sectors.
• Labor liabilities Labor liabilities are accounted as provided by legal regulations and binding collective bargaining agreements. Retirement pension liabilities payable by the company are determined based on actuarial studies as provided by legal regulations. Annual retirement pension provision is adjusted in a rational and systematical way. Pension payments are charged to the results of the year. In the case of the associates covered by the social security regime (Law 100 of 1993), the company sees to its retirement pension obligations through payment of contributions to pension funds under the terms and conditions mandated by that law.
• Additional paid-in capital The excess of placed shares price over their par value is recorded in the capital surplus account, additional paid-in capital.
• Reappraisals Reappraisals correspond to differences between the commercial or cadastral appraisal and the net book value of real estate property; for all other fixed assets susceptible of appreciation (or impairment of value), reappraisals are determined through technical appraisals conducted every three years. Such reappraisals are recorded in separate asset and equity accounts as revaluation surplus, which is not distributable. Impairment of value of real estate property is recorded through provision charged to the period’s expenses. Reappraisal of investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was conducted as established in circular letter 011 of 1998 of the
Securities Superintendency (today, Financial Superintendency) as follows: • For marketable fixed-income investments, the latest cost in books is recorded with a contra entry in the income statement accounts. • Marketable variable-income investments are valued by affecting their latest cost recorded, with a contra entry in the results of the period, recognizing the revenue or expense produced depending on the increase or decline of investment, respectively. • Long-term investments of controlled companies are accounted through the equity method. • When the realization value of long-term investments of non-controlled companies is higher than cost, reappraisal for the period is recorded under assets and revaluation surplus under equity. When the realization value is lower than cost, the difference will affect reappraisal and revaluation surplus, without limitation upon the fact that their net balance might be of a contrary nature.
• Equity revaluation Balances at December 31, 2014 and 2013 correspond to inflation adjustments to equity accounts until December 31, 2006, minus the tax on equity and corresponding surtax recorded in compliance with Law 1370 of 2009 and Decree 4825 of 2010. According to current regulations, this balance cannot be distributed as income until the company is liquidated or capitalized.
• Memorandum accounts Notes to the financial statements
9% of taxable basis for 2013 and 2014, and 8% for subsequent years; however, Law 1739 of 2014 (latest tax law amendment) established 9% as permanent rate starting 2015.
Control memorandum accounts record financial information for the purpose of control, contingencies, and future transactions’ commitments; fiscal memorandum accounts record differences between per-books values and values for fiscal effects as well as corresponding advance payments of infrastructure leasing contracts with Leasing Bancolombia S.A.
• Gifts The company records donations against fiscal period results or against occasional reserves established for such purpose by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
• Net income per share Net income per share is calculated on the weighted average number of outstanding subscribed shares during each period.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
• Statement of cash flows
• Consolidation of financial statements
The statement of cash flows was prepared by the indirect method. For purposes of preparing the cash flows statement the company classifies as cash equivalents those investments maturing in three months or less counted from their initial issuance date.
These separate financial statements do not consolidate assets, liabilities, equity and results of subordinate companies. Investments of these companies are accounted through the equity method. Legal requirements bind the company to additionally present consolidated financial statements to the Shareholders Meeting for its approval; however, these separate financial statements are the ones used for dividend distributions and other appropriations.
• Convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards
Considering that foreign companies prepare their financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) using a body of coherent and high-quality accounting principles, and considering that such structure of principles is considered adequate as a technical accounting reference in Colombia, such subsidiaries do not make substantial adjustments to their financial statements and do not homologate accounting policies, with the exception of the differences that contradict the principle of essence over form.
As provided in Law 1314 of 2009, Regulatory Decree 2784 of December of 2012 and Decree 3024 of 2013, for matters of preparation of financial information the company belongs to Group 1; accordingly, on February 26, 2013, it presented to the Financial Superintendency the corresponding IFRS implementation plan. The Opening Statement of Financial Position at January 1, 2014 was submitted to the Financial Superintendency on July 30, 2014; the first financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards shall be issued on December 31, 2015.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
Tax regulations applicable to the company provide that the income tax rate applicable for 2014 is 25%, and that of income tax for equity purposes (CREE) is 9%. Article 22 of Law 1607 determines CREE taxable basis as an alternative taxable income. CREE taxable basis is calculated apart from that for income tax by considering the items specifically not taken into account in the income tax. Effective tax rates for income tax were 26.82% for the year 2014 and 23.44% for the year 2013 due to the permanent differences between commercial income and fiscal taxable income as shown in the reconciliation prepared for such matter.
The effective tax rate for income tax for equity purposes was 10.89% for 2014 and 8.90% for 2013, due to the permanent differences between commercial income and the taxable basis as shown in the reconciliation shown further ahead. Below is a summary of the main entries to reconcile commercial income and net taxable income for income tax, per-books income and the taxable basis for CREE, and per-books equity and fiscal equity.

ccording to Article 78 of Decree 2649 of 1993, the company recorded this tax as the difference between per-books and fiscal depreciation resulting from reduction of balances of property, plant and equipment. Deferred Taxes – The company availed from the fiscal benefit of flexible depreciation whose effect on income tax and income tax for equity purposes was: (1) For income tax, an increased value of actual tax paid, which, according to accounting standards was recorded as current income tax payable. (2) For CREE, a decreased value of actual tax paid, which, according to accounting standards was recorded as tax payable. The company will amortize in the next years the depreciation recorded for tax purposes. For the increased fiscal depreciation to be valid, a non-distributable reserve was established equivalent to 70% of the increased deduction. Also, from the taxed reserve established in the past year for matters of the balance-reduction depreciation, the amount equivalent to the reserve’s release was transferred to non-taxed reserves, and remains at the disposal of the Shareholders’ Meeting. Tax Law Amendment – Below is a summary of some changes to the Colombian tax regime for the years 2015 and following, introduced by Law 1739 of December 23, 2014: Tax on wealth – Established starting on January 01, 2015. This tax is applicable to possession of wealth (gross equity minus outstanding debt) equal to or higher than $1,000 million as on January 01, 2015. The legal liability accrues on January 01, 2015, January 01, 2016 and January 01, 2017. The taxable basis for the tax on wealth is the gross equity of legal entities minus outstanding debts as on January 01, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Its marginal rate corresponds to:

Mineros S.A. shall pay in 2015, within the time periods set by the National Government, approximately $4,928,083 thousand as tax on wealth. Income tax for equity purposes (CREE) and surtax – As from taxable year 2016 and transitorily for 2015, the rate for CREE tax will be 9%. Fiscal losses incurred by CREE taxpayers starting in 2015 may be offset with this tax. Additionally, the excess over the minimum basis of CREE (fiscally readjusted) may also be offset starting 2015 within the next 5 years.

Notes to the financial statements
The CREE surtax is established for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The surtax applies to taxpayers whose annual CREE tax return yields income that is equal or greater than $800 million. The marginal rate applicable for the surtax will be:
Surtax Taxable basis $800 million

The surtax will be subject to 100% advance payment, calculated on the CREE taxable basis over which the taxpayer calculated such tax for the immediately preceding fiscal year. The advance payment of CREE surtax shall be paid in two annual installments within the time periods set in the regulations. For 2015 the CREE surtax was $4,328,996 thousand.
Income tax and surtax – The residence for fiscal matters is clarified. The rates for income obtained by foreign corporations and entities not ascribable to a permanent branch office or establishment are as follows:
Year 2015
2016
2017
2018
39%
40%
42%
43%
The fiscal discount for taxes paid abroad is changed distributing it between income tax and CREE tax in a 64% and 36% proportion. Changes introduced to fiscal incentives: i) Deduction for investments in research, technological development and innovation; ii) Income tax fiscal discount for VAT paid in the purchase of capital goods and heavy machinery. Exchange gain/loss of foreign investments will have no fiscal effect until the moment the respective investment is transferred. Additionally, the entry into force of the limitation to deductions for cash payments is postponed until 2019 and following years. Other provisions – Mechanisms for conciliation, transaction and special payment conditions to conclude proceedings and discussions between taxpayers and the authorities related to fiscal, customs and foreign exchange issues and contributions to the social security system, are again established.
Notes to the financial statements
In no case shall the CREE tax or its surtax be offset with balances in favor for concept of other taxes calculated in tax returns. Likewise, balances in favor resulting from CREE tax returns may not be offset with debts of other taxes, advance payments, withholdings, interest and penalties.

RETIREMENT PENSIONS The retirement pensions currently under the responsibility of Mineros S.A. correspond to those employees, who on the date of the ISS transfer Resolution (November of 1997), had expectations to qualify for the special retirement pension agreed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (18 years of service, 47 years of age), and therefore, the recognition date depended on the worker’s will, or to those workers, who on the date of the same Resolution were not active company workers, and had retired with the expectation of retirement pension, with only the age requirement pending. Fiscal regulation is used as the basis for recording of retirement pensions. The company has carried out actuarial calculations for retirement pensions on the basis of the technical parameters determined in Decree 2498 of 1988. These parameters were modified as of 1998 upon issuance of Regulatory Decree 1517 of 1998 (Paragraph 1, Article 1), by Article 1 of Decree 2783 of December 20 of 2001, by Article 1 of Regulatory Decree 51 of

NOTE 27.
SPECIAL CONTINGENCY Article 42 of Law 99/93 (amended by Article 211 of Law 1450/11) established environmental discharge duties for the direct and indirect use of water resources in any type of economic activity or service. In turn, Regulatory Decree 2667 of 2012 regulated the technical and legal issues to be taken into account in determining the duty payable by its passive subjects. Based on the powers conferred by Law to the respective environmental authorities, Corporaci贸n Aut贸noma Regional del Centro de Antioquia (CORANTIOQUIA) issued Resolution 441 of 2013 setting the individual discharge limits of Mineros S.A. and designating the company as passive subject of the environmental discharge duty. On May 22, 2014, the company filed with the Administrative Tribunal nullity and redress claim against such Resolution; at December 31, 2014, closing date of the general-purpose financial statements, no decision had been made.
Notes to the financial statements
Additionally, decision by CORANTIOQUIA about the request for reconsideration of the administrative act that recalculated the environmental discharge duty for 2013 is still pending.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT To the shareholders of MINEROS S.A.

The Management is responsible for the preparation and correct presentation of the financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia. Such responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system adequate for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements, free from significant errors due to fraud or error, selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies, and establishing the accounting estimates that are reasonable under the circumstances.

Consolidated Financial Statement
My responsibility is to audit said financial statements and express an opinion thereon based on my audits. I obtained the information necessary to comply with my duties and carry out my work in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Colombia. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to satisfy myself that the financial statements are free from significant errors. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, the evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements. The audit procedures selected depend on the auditor’s professional judgment, including an evaluation of the risk of significant errors in the financial statements. In evaluating the risk, the statutory auditor considers the Company’s internal control relevant for the preparation and reasonable presentation of the consolidated financial statements, in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant accounting estimates made by the Management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. I consider that my audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion which I express.
of its operations, the changes in its equity, the changes in its financial position, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia, applied on uniform basis.

NOTE 2.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidación Companies in Colombia shall prepare general-purpose individual financial statements that are presented to the Shareholders’ Meeting and constitute the basis for the distribution of dividends and other appropriations. Additionally, the Code of Commerce requires preparation of general-purpose consolidated financial statements that are also presented to the Shareholders’ Meeting for its approval but are not the basis for the distribution of dividends and earnings appropriation. According to rules issued by the Financial Superintendency, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the companies respect to which either of the following conditions apply: A. More than 50% of capital belongs to the company, directly or through or with the assistance of its subordinate companies or of the subordinate companies of the latter. B. The company and its subordinate companies have, jointly or separately, right to cast the minimum number of votes that make up the deciding majority in the members’ or shareholders’ meeting, or have the number of votes necessary to elect the majority of the members of the Board of Directors, should there be such a board. C. The company, directly or through or with the assistance of its subordinate companies, by reason of an act or business with the controlled corporation or with its shareholders, exercises dominant influence on the decisions of the corporation’s administration bodies.

Consolidated Financial Statement
The consolidated financial statements are prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia. The Management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the assets and liabilities figures reported, the contingent assets and liabilities disclosed as on the date of the financial statements, and the revenues and expenses disclosed during the reporting period. The actual result may differ from such estimates. The consolidation method used for the preparation of the financial statements is the global integration method which adds to the parent or controlling company’s financial statements all the assets, liabilities, equity and results of the subordinate companies, after eliminating in the parent or controlling company the investment made by it in the subordinate company’s equity, as well as the reciprocal operations and balances existing on the closing date of the consolidated financial statements. Elimination of balances and transactions between the parent company and the subordinate companies, as well as among them, and the determination of minority interest, proportional equity value, and amortization of the excess and/or defect of the investment cost over the per-books value, have been conducted according to the rules established by the Financial Superintendency in Circular Letter No. 002 of 1998, amended by Circular Letter No. 011 of 1998. The financial information of the subordinate companies consolidated by Mineros S.A. is prepared, when possible, on the basis of the same accounting criteria and methods; it is taken as on December 31, the date established by the parent company as its closing date of operations and presentation of financial statements as provided in the articles of incorporation and in Article 9 of Decree 2649 of 1993. Considering that associated foreign companies prepare their financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, using a body of coherent and high-quality accounting principles, and considering that such structure of principles is deemed adequate as a technical accounting reference in Colombia, such subsidiaries do not make substantial adjustments to their financial statements in order to homologate accounting policies, with the exception of the differences that contradict the principle of essence over form. Following is the detail of assets, liabilities, equity and results of the fiscal year for each of the companies included in the consolidation (expressed in thousands of Colombian Pesos):

NOTE 3.
MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES In the preparation of its consolidated financial statements the parent company shall abide by the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia, by the rules established by the Colombian Financial Superintendency and by other legal provisions. Below is a summary of the main accounting policies and practices that the company has accordingly adopted: Essence over form Consolidated companies recognize and disclose economic resources and facts according to their essence or economic reality and not only by their legal form; for this reason they apply the accounting principles that permit adequate recognition of the economic facts in each of the countries where they operate.
Translation of financial statements Colombian regulations lack a technical framework establishing accepted translation methods; they do provide however, that it is correct to refer to a higher-level regulation. For this reason, for the translation process we chose the guidelines of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), specifically, International Accounting Standard IAS 21 “Effects of variations in foreign exchange rates”. Accordingly, the financial statements of companies abroad reflect as functional currency the currency of the country, and as presentation currency, the Colombian Peso. In order to arrive at this currency a translation process into dollars is necessary, reason why, in countries whose currency is other than the US Dollar or any other currency at par with it, they are translated from the original country’s currency into US dollars according to methodology of IAS 21, as follows: • Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in force on the closing date. • Equity accounts are translated at the exchange rate in force on the date of each transaction. • - Income statement accounts are translated at the exchange rate in force on the date of each transaction. Should the foregoing be impossible, the average exchange rate for each month shall be used. • Exchange gains/losses are recorded in shareholders’ equity under the accumulated translation adjustments account, which represents differences from translation of income statement items at average exchange rates and translation of balance sheet items at closing exchange rates. Subsequently, the figures in US Dollars are translated
78
Consolidated Financial Statement
into Colombian Pesos using the market representative rate in force, as certified by the Colombian Financial Superintendency.
Inflation adjustments Decree No. 1536 of May 7, 2007 amended Decrees 2649 and 2650 eliminating application of integral inflation adjustments. The rule provides that inflation adjustments made since January of 1992 until December 31 of 2006 will make part of the balance of the respective accounts. The balance of Equity Revaluation account cannot be distributed until the corporation is liquidated or capitalized. In the event it is capitalized, it will be used to absorb losses if the corporation incurs in a dissolution event; under no circumstance may it be used for capital reimbursements. In the event of a debit balance, it may be decreased with the results of the period or of former periods, upon compliance with regulations about earnings established in the Code of Commerce. Law 1111 of 2006 offered the possibility of charging the tax on equity against this account without affecting results, a choice made by Mineros S.A. with enough balance in this account.
Materiality for preparation of the financial statements The preparation of financial statements according to accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia requires the Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the sums reported for assets and liabilities on the closing date for financial statements as well as the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the period. In general, recognition and presentation of economic facts are made according to their relative importance or materiality. For the 2014 financial statements, the materiality considered was disclosure of entries equivalent to 5% or more of current assets, other assets, current liabilities, long-term liabilities and equity.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash in hand and banks, savings deposits and all high-liquidity investments are considered cash and cash equivalents.
Translation of foreign-currency transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currency are recorded at the applicable exchange rates in force on the date of the transaction. At the close of each year, balances receivable or payable and investments in foreign currency are adjusted at the market representative rate certified by the Financial Superintendency. With regard to balances receivable or payable in foreign currency, the exchange
gains/losses are charged to the income statement provided they are not imputable to costs of acquisition of assets. Exchange gains/losses are imputable to the acquisition cost of assets when they take place while such assets are under construction or installation, and until they become operational. Starting 2007, as provided in Decree 4918 of same year, the exchange gain/loss of variable-income investments in subordinate companies abroad is recorded in surplus from equity method as higher or lower value of equity.
Investments are classified as marketable and long-term, according to the intention of realization Marketable investments are those easy to realize within a term of up to three calendar years, and for which, there is a serious intention of realization. Long-term investments are those which are seriously intended to be held for at least three calendar years. • Investments are classified as fixed-income and variableincome, depending on the return they generate.
Accounting system
• According to control, they are classified as controlling and non-controlling, subject to the provisions of the Colombian Code of Commerce.
The companies use the accrual accounting system, according to which, revenues and expenditures are recorded when they take place, regardless of whether payment or collection has been in cash.
• Based on the cause or reason motivating the investment, they are voluntary or mandatory.
Monetary unit According to legal provisions, the monetary unit used by the company for the balance sheet and income statement accounts is the Colombian Peso.
Investments As provided by the Colombian Financial Superintendency, investments shall be classified and recorded as follows:
Property, plant and equipment These are recorded at cost, which includes inflation adjustments from January 1 of 1992 until December 31 of 2006. Maintenance and repair expenditures that do not increase the useful life of respective assets are recorded as a charge in the income statement, as they are incurred. For accounting effects, in Colombia, depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of assets, using the following depreciation annual rates:
BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTIONS
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
ELECTRIC PLANTS AND NETWORKS
FURNITURE AND FIXTURES
DREDGES
5%
10%

Consolidated Financial Statement
Starting January of 2012, for fiscal effects, the controlling company (Mineros S.A.) adopted the balance-reduction depreciation system (Article 134 of Fiscal Law), with the exception of those fixed assets on which special deduction for investment in productive real fixed assets had been requested in previous fiscal periods (from 2007 to 2011) as provided in Art. 158-3 of the Fiscal Law. According to the provision of the aforementioned rule, these fixed assets can only be depreciated through the straight-line system. In Colombia, as provided in Article 159 of Law 1607/2012, for purchases of fixed assets after January 1, 2013, the residual value was 10% of the respective asset’s cost (0% in 2012). In Hemco Nicaragua S.A., the useful life estimated for fixed assets that are depreciated through the straight-line system is 5 to 10 years for buildings and facilities, 5 years for machinery and industrial equipment, and 5 years for vehicles, furniture and fixtures and accessories. No residual value is considered.

FINANCIAL REPORT 2014 - MINEROS S.A.
Inventories For Mineros S.A., inventories of materials and consumables, dredge and plants maintenance materials, parts and other accessories are valued at average cost using a permanent or continuous inventory system. Materials in transit and workshop orders under process are valued at their actual manufacturing or acquisition costs. In Hemco Nicaragua S.A., there is a gold inventory that is valued at the lowest between production cost and estimated sale price less the finishing and sale costs. Additionally, there is an inventory of materials and supplies, whose cost is determined by the average cost method and recorded as current asset.
Deferred charges As provided by accounting and fiscal regulations, amortization policies for deferred charges depend on their nature, as follows: 1. Mining projects are amortized on the basis of the deposit’s estimated exploitation time, starting on the date when respective revenue starts. Unsuccessful exploration investments are amortized in the same period when such condition is determined on the basis of a technical opinion delivered by an expert that is approved by the Board, and at any rate, not later than within the next two (2) years, at Management’s choice.
Taxes, liens and duties Income tax provision is determined on the basis of commercial income, adequately relating the period’s revenue to its corresponding costs and expenses, or, on the basis of presumptive income on taxable equity, in case it exceeds net taxable income. Additionally, the effect of temporary differences between per-books and fiscal figures when dealing with certain items is recorded as deferred income tax provided there are reasonable expectations that such differences will revert. In Colombia, starting in fiscal year 2013, companies are subject to an income tax rate of 25% (33% until 2012); this lower rate was established in Law 1607 of 2012. Additionally, this Law 1607 established the income tax for equity purposes (CREE) starting in 2013 at a 9% rate on taxable basis for the years 2013 to 2015 and 8% for following years; however, Law 1739 of 2014 (latest tax reform) set the rate at 9% permanently. Article 22 of Law 1607 determined CREE’s taxable basis as an alternative taxable income. In Nicaragua, Hemco Nicaragua S.A. is subject to income tax at a rate of 30% of taxable earnings.
3. Other deferred charges include major spare parts for dredges and insurance premiums, which are amortized according to the duration of the spare part or the term of the policy, in periods ranging between one and five years.
Payments of value added tax and area fees are considered part of the minimum income tax payment of the period. Deferred income tax is accounted through the passive method and is applied to temporary differences between the per-books value of assets and liabilities and the values used for fiscal effects. A tax deferred liability represents a taxable temporary difference, while a tax deferred asset represents a deductible temporary difference.
4. In Nicaragua, development costs of mining concessions with estimated economically recoverable gold reserves are deferred until the project is sold, abandoned or put into operation.
In Nicaragua, as provided in Law 822 (Ley de Concertación Tributaria) and its regulations, income tax payable shall be the highest amount between the income tax at 30% rate of taxable net income and the minimum payment of 1% of gross revenue.
Goodwill
Labor liabilities
Companies in Colombia record as goodwill acquired the additional sum paid over the book value, certified by the respective corporation, in the purchase of shares or participation stock of an economically active entity when control over it is held or acquired, as provided in Articles 260 and 261 of the Code of Commerce, amended by articles 26 and 27 of Law 222 of 1995 and all other rules amending, supplementing or substituting them.
For the consolidation process, the company maintains the labor liabilities determined in the countries in accordance with the accounting techniques and the implicit legal obligations acquired by the subsidiaries. Accordingly, the company does not consider it necessary to prepare again the accounting estimates resulting from recording consolidated labor benefits and other benefits to employees on a basis different from that of the countries that generated their own liabilities.
2. Agricultural projects (rubber plantation and bio-factory of Mineros S.A.) are amortized along the estimated cultivation time, once concluded the non-productive period.
80
At the close of each fiscal year, or at close of the month taken as basis for the preparation of the special financial statements, the company evaluates the goodwill originated in each investment so as to verify its origin in the balance sheet.
Consolidated Financial Statement
In Colombia retirement pension liability represents the present value of all future expenditures that the company shall pay in favor of its pensioners or beneficiaries (mostly personnel with long span of service). Respective charges to annual results are made based on actuarial studies that comply with legal regulations in force, and are prepared under methods such as the system of actuarial equivalence for overdue pensions, and overdue and prospective fractioned immediate life-pensions. Pension payments made during the fiscal year are charged directly to the period’s results. In the case of the associates covered by the new social security regime in Colombia (Law 100 of 1993), the company sees to its retirement pension obligations through payment of contributions to Colpensiones and/or private pension funds under the terms and conditions mandated by that law.
• In the case of the subordinate companies, for marketable variable-income investments when their realization value (stock exchange quote or intrinsic value) is higher than cost, reappraisal is recorded for the period under assets and revaluation surplus under equity. When the realization value is lower than cost, the difference will affect reappraisal and revaluation surplus; when it is higher, a provision will be recorded in the income statement. • Long-term investments of controlled companies are accounted through the equity method. • When the realization value of long-term investments of non-controlled companies is higher than cost, reappraisal for the period is recorded under assets and revaluation surplus under equity. When the realization value is lower than cost, the difference will affect reappraisal and revaluation surplus, without limitation upon the fact that their net balance might be of a contrary nature..
Additional paid-in capital
Gifts
The excess of placed shares price over their par value is recorded in the capital surplus account, additional paid-in capital.
Donations are recorded against fiscal period results or against occasional reserves established for such purpose by the Shareholders’ Meeting.
Reappraisals Reappraisals correspond to differences between the commercial or cadastral appraisal and the net book value of real estate property adjusted for inflation; for all other fixed assets susceptible of appreciation (or impairment of value), reappraisals are determined through technical appraisals conducted every three years. Such reappraisals are recorded in separate asset and equity accounts as revaluation surplus, which is not distributable. Impairment of value of real estate property is recorded through provision charged to the period’s expenses. Reappraisal of investments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was conducted as established in External Circular Letter 011 of 1998 of the Securities Superintendency (today, Financial Superintendency) in the case of Mineros S.A., and Circular Letter 05 of 1998 of the Superintendency of Corporations, in the cases of Operadora Minera S.A.S. and Exploradora Minera S.A.S., as follows: • In the case of Mineros S.A., for marketable variableincome investments, when their realization value (stock exchange quote or intrinsic value) is higher than their cost, the reappraisal increases or decreases their latest cost recorded, with a contra entry in the results of the period, recognizing the revenue or expense produced depending on the increase or decline of investment, respectively.
Equity revaluation Balances at December 31, 2014 and 2013 correspond to inflation adjustments to equity accounts until December 31, 2006, minus the tax on equity and corresponding surtax recorded in compliance with Law 1370 of 2009 and Legislative Decree 4825 of 2010. According to current regulations, this balance cannot be distributed as income until the company is liquidated or capitalized.
Memorandum accounts In Colombia, memorandum accounts include commitments pending formalization, contingent rights or liabilities such as the value of assets and securities given as collateral, guarantees granted, unused letters of credit, assets and securities received in custody or as guarantee, fully depreciated assets, and the difference between fiscal and per-books equity values.
Consolidated Financial Statement
Labor liabilities are adjusted at the end of each period on the basis of legal provisions and labor agreements in force.
Convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards Pursuant to the provisions of Law 1314 of 2009 and regulatory decrees 2784 of December, 2012 and 3024 of 2013, the company is bound to initiate convergence between the accounting principles generally accepted in Colombia and the International

(1) In November of 2012, the company hired commercial appraisals of property, plant and equipment owned in Colombia; they were conducted by Francisco Ochoa AvalĂşos S.A.S. firm, domiciled in MedellĂn and identified with TIN 900.400.170-5. Real estate property was appraised using the comparative or market method and cost or replacement method. In the case of machinery and equipment, quotes for similar machines and equipment were taken into account, their original value was updated translating it into United States Dollars as of that date, and impairment of value factors due to old age and use were later applied; also their current state was analyzed with technicians. Both assets in depreciation process and fully depreciated assets in use were appraised, with the appreciation of the totally depreciated assets in use recorded under memorandum accounts.
For 2014, appraisals of property, plant and equipment were updated according to the CPI of the year (3.66%) and were compared to the net cost of assets at December 31, 2014.

Income tax for equity purposes (CREE) and surtax – As from taxable year 2016 and transitorily for 2015, the rate for CREE tax will be 9%. Fiscal losses incurred by CREE taxpayers starting in 2015 may be offset with this tax. Additionally, the excess over the minimum basis of CREE (fiscally readjusted) may also be offset starting 2015 within the next 5 years. In no case shall the CREE tax or its surtax be offset with balances in favor for concept of other taxes calculated in tax returns. Likewise, balances in favor resulting from CREE tax returns may not be offset with debts of other taxes, advance payments, withholdings, interest and penalties. The CREE surtax is established for 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The surtax applies to taxpayers whose annual CREE tax return yields income that is equal or greater than $800 million.
