The main variations in net quarterly income are:

reached in 1Q 2012, mainly due to growth of financial assets and liabilities. The financial intermediation ratio (loans-to-deposits) was 68.6% at
the close of 1Q 2013 (75.7% at the close of the first quarter of 2012).
 Loan Portfolio Provision registered Bs 143 million (US$ 25 million)1 in expenditure, which reflects a Bs 39 million (21.4%) year-on-year decline

past-due and nonperforming loans (235.9% at March 31, 2012).

registered in 1Q 2012, which stemmed from Bs 717 million income growth resulting from exchange differences due to the change from Bs
4.2893/US$1 to Bs 6.2842/US$1 in the exchange rate set by the Venezuelan Central Bank for the valuation of assets and liabilities in foreign
currency; Bs 99 million earnings growth from securities trading; and Bs 261 increase in income from commissions on customer transactions;
among other factors.

393 million)1 registered in 1Q 2012, due to increases of Bs 246 million (35.6%) in personnel expenses, Bs 144 million (56.9%) in expenses for
contributions to regulatory entities and Bs 284 million in expenses for commissions for using the point-of-sale network, ATMs and other banking
facilities.
Personnel and Operating Expenses are affected by inflation in Venezuela which averaged 25.1% over the last 12 months, as well as by the
effect of devaluation on expenses in Venezuela, and the conversion of the expenses of the overseas subsidiaries. The efficiency ratio measured
by calculating operating expenses as a percentage of average assets, was 5.0% in March 2013 versus 5.4% in March 2012.

Net Interest Income
In 1Q 2013, net interest income was Bs 2,591 million (US$ 461 million)1, 50.6% higher than the Bs 1,721 million (US$ 401 million)1 registered in 1Q
2012, due to an increase in the volume of financial assets and liabilities. Interest income was Bs 3,698 million, a 50.7% year-on-year increase, both
in growth of loan portfolio income by 50.0% and investment portfolio income by 54.1%. Financial expenses totaled Bs 1,107 million, up 51.1%
compared to 1Q 2012.
The financial intermediation ratio (loan-to-deposits) was 68.6% at the close of 1Q 2013, 75.7% at the close of March 2012.

Mercantil Banco Universal, reached Bs 2,227 million, 54.3% up on the Bs 1,444 million in interest income registered in 1Q 2012, mainly due
to a higher volume of financial assets and liabilities. The financial intermediation ratio was 62.6% in March 2013 and 73.5% in March 2012.

Mercantil Commercebank, N.A., totaled US$ 36 million, similar to the US$ 37 million registered in 1Q 2012. The Bank continues to hold a
significant portion of its assets, US$ 2,170 million (more than 32%), in short-term investments and securities issued by the US government or
US government-sponsored bodies. This high level of liquidity has continued to give the Bank ample flexibility to increase its credit operations.
Mercantil's net interest margin (income/average financial assets) at March 31, 2013 was 8.4% compared to 7.9% the previous year.

In 1Q 2013, operating expenses totaled Bs 2,359 million (US$ 420 million)1, a 40.0% year-on-year increase from Bs 1,684 million (US$ 393
million)1. This increase is mainly due to:

Bs 246 million in personnel expenses, a year-on-year rise of 35.6%. The application of wage increase policies in Venezuela contributed
to higher expenses as well as the effects of the new Labor Law in effect since May 2012 At Mercantil Banco Universal, assets per
employee rose from Bs 10.5 million in 2012 to Bs 16.0 million in 2013. At Mercantil Seguros, net earned premiums per employee rose
from Bs 1.1 million in 2012 to Bs 1.3 million in 2013. In the case of the overseas business, the assets per employee indicator remained at
US$ 8.7 million in 2013.

Bs 144 million (56.9%) rise in expenses for contributions to regulatory agencies.

Bs 57 million (81.5%) increase in expenses for taxes and contributions.

Bs 227 million (33.9%) increase in expenses for commissions for using the point-of-sale and ATM network and other facilities.
The efficiency ratio measured by calculating operating expenses as a percentage of average assets, was 5.0% in March 2013, versus 5.4% in
March 2012. The ratio of operating expenses to total income was 41.3% in March 2013 (52.3% in March 2012). Personnel and operating expenses
are affected by inflation in Venezuela which averaged 25.1% over the last 12 months, as well as by the effect of devaluation on expenses in
Venezuela, and the conversion of the expenses of the overseas subsidiaries.

Global Economic Climate
The threats and challenges looming over global economic growth and stability during much of 2012 have not disappeared. The global economy is
still dependent on the growth demonstrated by the emerging countries, given that numerous mature economies in Europe and especially Japan are
showing difficulties to achieve economic growth. The performance of big emerging countries like China, India and Brazil continues to be key in this
regard. The major players in the global economy are beginning to show some improvement, starting with stable economic growth in the USA and
the economic expansion of China, which slightly exceeded general expectations.
China's first-quarter GDP appears to have been in the region of 7.7%. In March the Management Purchases Index exceeded 50 points for the fifth
consecutive month, reaffirming the view of more significant growth in recent months. Inflation, one of the greatest threats, remained low in January
and an average year-on-year variation of 2.4% is expected. Asian economic growth was solid in South Korea and slightly less so in Japan. Less
dynamism was observed however in other countries, India for example.
The Brazilian economy grew 2.7% in 2012, at a slower pace than in 2011 (7.5%), the relatively weak tone being attributable to the loss in the
significance of net exports (due to exchange appreciation) and lower stocks. Inflation has picked up again, spurred on by rising food prices.
January's figure stood at 6.2%, almost two percentage points above the central target of the Monetary Policy Committee (4.5%). Renewed
inflationary tensions have once again pushed the monetary authority against the ropes and complicate the use of further reductions in the reference
interest rate of the Special Settlement and Custody System (Selic) in order to boost the country’s depressed activity.
It has been confirmed that in the eurozone GDP shrank by 0.5% in the fourth quarter, a greater decline than expected. The symptoms of weak
economic activity were widespread, even though there was ample evidence of financial tensions abating somewhat in the European periphery
countries. However, the financial crisis that reared its head in Cyprus in mid-March has rather changed the financial outlook for Europe. Although
the eurozone countries have agreed to a 10 billion euro bailout for Cyprus to avoid default (largely triggered by the crisis in Greece), some to-ing
and fro-ing regarding the scope of the measures agreed caused panic in European financial markets, affecting the stability of the euro. In March,
the banks in Cyprus reopened their offices after remaining closed for thirteen days (to avoid a massive run on deposits) and received 5 billion euros
in financial aid from the European Central Bank.
U.S. Economic Climate
During the first quarter the US economy continued to grow, thereby avoiding another sharp economic turndown. The best news this quarter was in
relation to private consumer spending, retail sales in particular which registered 4.6% year-on-year growth at the end of February. The International
Council of Shopping Centers and Goldman Sachs reported that chain store sales in March were up 2.6% from their February level. Consumer
spending in the first part of the year is confirmed by the Consumer Confidence Index reported by the University of Michigan which reached 78.6
points in March (vs. 76.2 averaged over 2012). Increased consumer confidence was also reflected by the strength of the consumer credit index
which rose 5.8% to US$ 16.1 billion since January 2012.

23
The expansion of economic activity in the first quarter was reflected by substantial improvements in the job market. Unemployment closed at 7.6%
in March, against the 2012 average of 8.1%. Even though, January and February were good months in terms of job creation with average increases
of more than 200,000 jobs per month, in March they slowed down with a net creation of just 88,000 jobs. Job creation in the public sector is
continuing to fall, although this factor is more than offset in the private sector. Amid a scenario of recovering employment, there is some uncertainty
as to how the fiscal adjustment program under way might affect the course of the economy in the short term. A conservative tone of the fiscal policy
and the need to maintain some incentives for growth, partially explain the Federal Reserve's monetary policy to continue to anchor the short-term
interest rate (at 0.13%). The stance of the monetary authorities can also partly be explained by the still low minimum inflationary pressures shown
by the US economy. In the first quarter, annualized inflation may close around 2.1%, relatively in line with its behavior in 2012.
In the real estate market there are still clear signs of a recovery. In February, 7.9% more homes were built and sales of new homes picked up in the
first two months of the year to more than 400,000 homes per annum (against an average of 366,000 in 2012) and sales of used homes reached
4,980,000 in February, equivalent to 10.5% growth in one year. All of this has contributed to a continuous improvement in house prices. In January,
the Case-Shiller home price index showed that prices in 20 cities had risen 8.1% year-on-year.

Venezuelan Economic Climate
Economic activity
During the first quarter of 2013, despite the fact that the global economy was slightly more robust this year, above all due to China's slower
economic growth and the improvements foreseen in the US job market, persistent doubts over Europe's economic performance may and in fact
have counteracted upward pressure on the principal prices of crude oil in the first months of the year compared to the close of the first quarter of
2012. Despite high oil prices, less currency being available from the Foreign Currency Administration System (CADIVI) and the fact that no
resources have been transferred from the Central Bank of Venezuela (BCV) to the National Development Fund ((FONDEN), the Central Bank's
level of international reserves declined in the first three months of the year. On the fiscal front, central government’s performance during the first
quarter was marked by an increase in the income it received, due fundamentally to the higher bolivar value of the oil industry’s contribution to the
national treasury in reaction to the new rate of exchange, as well as more net income from domestic borrowing, in the context of an electoral
scenario. On the monetary front, a slight increase in money supply was reported, explained mainly by higher public spending as a result of the
availability of less currency through Cadivi, the increase in the secondary creation of money through loans, despite the net restrictive effect of Open
Market Operations on payment systems. All these steps caused a slowdown in the growth of domestic prices.

Oil Sector, Reserves
The price of the Venezuelan oil basket averaged US$103.8/bbl in the first quarter, 5.6% more than in the previous quarter. However this was 7.4%
down on the first quarter of 2012. Venezuelan oil production averaged 2,858 mbd in the first quarter, down 2 mbd compared to the previous quarter.
However, compared to the first quarter of 2012 it was up 23.2%. Notwithstanding, international reserves fell an accumulated US$ 2,852 million,
closing at US$ 27,035 million in March, their lowest level since December 2012. The executive branch represented by the Ministry of Planning and
Finance and the Central Bank of Venezuela, announced an amendment to Exchange Agreement N° 14 through Decree N° 9,381 of February 8,
2013 which adjusted the official exchange rate from Bs 4.30/US$1 to Bs 6.30/US$1 and created a new superior body in charge of the exchange
system and policies. The Superior Body for the Optimization of the Exchange System (OSOSC - for its abbreviation in Spanish) will come under the
Ministry of Planning and Finance and the Central Bank of Venezuela and the office of Petroleum and Mining, but its decisions will be reached by
consensus between the Ministry and the Central Bank. Their attributions include setting priorities for the allocation of foreign currency and guidance
on applications for non-production and insufficient production certificates.
Monetary Policy
In the fiscal area, primary spending by the National Treasury stood at Bs 108.2 billion, representing a 27% year-on-year increase. Stripping out the
high level of inflation for the period, this makes an increase of 3.7%, which contrasts clearly with the real decline of 26.3% in the first quarter of
2012. In the area of the national debt, assignments of Government Bonds and Treasury Bills amounted to Bs 45.2 billion which, together with
shorter maturities, resulted in Bs 14.7 billion in net positive domestic indebtedness, reflecting a 72.5% year-on-year increase in positive domestic
indebtedness.
In the money market, money in the hands of the public (M2) increased 6% in the first quarter, 30 basis points above the 5.7% increase reported in
1Q 2012. With respect to the handling of the monetary policy, in the first quarter, the Venezuelan Central Bank was more actively involved in open
market operations than in the same period of last year which restricted the net effect of open market operations on payment systems by Bs 5.2
billion, 1.1 times above the Bs 2.6 billion contraction in the first quarter of 2012.
Inflation
Accumulated domestic inflation was 5% in the first two months of the year1 which is almost double the figure for the first two months of 2012 (2.6%).
Broken down by group, the highest above-average price increases were in: Restaurants and Hotels (8,3%), Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages
(5.7%), Health, Entertainment and Culture (5.6%). According to the eleven geographical locations comprising the National Consumer Price Index,
the cities that underwent higher-than-the-national-average price adjustments (5%) were: Maracay, Ciudad Guayana (6.2%), Mérida (6.1%), San
Cristóbal (5.8%), Maturín (5.4%), Puerto La Cruz-Barcelona and Valencia (5.1%).

APPENDIX I
Summary of the Accounting Principles used to prepare the Financial Statements
Financial statements are presented in accordance with the accounting standards of the National Securities Superintendency (SNV), in bolivars. A
summary of some of the main accounting principles applied is given below:
Investment Portfolio
Securities Held for Trading - Unrealized gains or losses resulting from differences in market value due to market fluctuations are included in the
results for the period. Available-for-Sale Securities – Recorded at their market value. Unrealized gains or losses resulting from differences in market
value and exchange rate fluctuations are included in shareholders’ equity. Held-to-Maturity Securities – Recorded at their acquisition cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums or discounts. For all portfolio investments, permanent losses in market value are recorded as a charge to income in
the period in which they occur. Permanent investments are investments that represent 20% to 50% stock ownership. Those greater than 50% are
recorded as an equity interest and consolidated, except when control is likely to be temporary.
Loan Portfolio
Loans are classified as overdue 30 days after their maturity. Allowances for losses on loan portfolio are determined through a collectibility
assessment that quantifies the amount to be set aside for each loan. These assessments take into account such aspects as economic conditions,
credit risk by customer, credit history and the collateral received. When evaluating loans for small amounts of the same nature, these are grouped
together to determine provisions.
Recognition of income and expenditure
Income, costs and expenses are recorded as they are earned or incurred. Interest earned on loan portfolios is recorded as income when collected.
Fluctuations in the market value of derivatives are recognized in income in the period in which they occur. Insurance premiums are recorded as
income when earned.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mercantil and its more than 50%-owned subsidiaries and other institutions in which
Mercantil has a controlling interest. See the main subsidiaries on Page 5 and the reconciliation of their accounting standards with SNV standards
on Pages 37, 39, 41.
Inflation Adjustment
According to SNV standards, Mercantil’s financial statements, as of December 31, 1999 must be presented in historic figures. Since then Mercantil
has ceased to adjust for inflation in its primary financial statements. As a result, fixed and other assets are shown at their inflation-adjusted value up
to December 31, 1999. The market value determined by independent assessments is higher than adjusted cost for inflation indicated above. New
additions are being recorded at their acquisition value.
Differences between the accounting standards of the Superintendency of Banking Sector Institutions in Venezuela (SUDEBAN) and US
GAAP
The main accounting differences for the reconciliation of items under SNV and SUDEBAN for Mercantil Servicios Financieros are:
 Amortization of premiums or discounts of securities carried out on a straight-line basis under SUDEBAN standards and in accordance with the
constant amortization rate under SNV standards.
 Under SNV standards, the effects of exchange fluctuations are included in the results for the period, with the exception of exchange
fluctuations from available-for-sale investments and the stock trading portfolio which are included in shareholders' equity. Under SUDEBAN
standards, all fluctuations are recorded in the results, with the exception of exchange fluctuations from the stock trading portfolio and the
fluctuations which, as provided by the SUDEBAN exception, must subsequently be included in income when authorized by SUDEBAN.
The main accounting differences for Mercantil Servicios Financieros between the above mentioned SNV standards and SUDEBAN standards are:
 Deferred Income Tax: US GAAP allows deferred tax to be recognized for the total amount of loan portfolio loss allowances, while SNV
standards only allow recognition of allowances for loans classified as high risk and unrecoverable.
 Provision for assets received in lieu of payment: SNV standards stipulate a 100% allowance for real property received in lieu of payment after
one year from the date of incorporation; under US GAAP no amortization deadlines are established. (See SNV - USGAAP earnings
reconciliation, Page 39).
