1. General Information Bancolombia Cayman (the Bank ) was incorporated as an exempted company under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on August 27, 1987, and is a wholly - owned subsidiary of Bancolombia (Panama), S. A. (the Parent Company ). The ultimate parent company is Bancolombia, S. A., a bank incorporated in Colombia. The Bank operates under an unrestricted category B bank and trust license granted by the Cayman Islands Government and it is principally engaged in providing offshore banking facilities. The Bank enters into transactions with its parent company and affiliates, most of which are conducted under the parent company s instructions. The registered office of the Bank is located at Caledonian House, 69 Dr. Roy s Drive, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The financial statements were approved for issue by the Management on April 23, 2013. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following is a summary of the major accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented. Basis of Preparation The financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified for the revaluation of availablefor-sale securities. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires some critical accounting estimates. Also, it requires Management to use judgment in the application of the Bank s accounting policies. The areas that involve a high degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant for the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 5. - 7 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Basis of Preparation (continued) Changes in the accounting policy and disclosures (a) New and amended standards adopted There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Bank. (b) New standards issued and standards amendments, but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2012 and not early adopted - IFRS 9, Financial instruments, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2011. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortized cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the IAS 39 requirements. The Bank is yet to assess IFRS 9 s full impact and intends to adopt IFRS 9 no later than the accounting period beginning on or after January 1, 2015. - IFRS 13, Fair value measurement, aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRSs and US GAAP, do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs or US GAAP. The Bank assesses IFRS 13 s full impact and concluded that has not material impact on the Bank. - 8 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Foreign Currencies Translation Transactions in currencies other than the US dollars (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Financial Assets Classification The Bank classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. (a) (b) (c) Loans and receivables Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and that the entity has no intention to sell immediately or in the short-term. Loans are stated at their principal amount, net of allowance for loan losses and unearned discounts. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. Held-to-maturity financial assets Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that Management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity, other than: those that the Bank upon initial recognition designates as at fair value through profit or loss; those that the Bank designates as available-for-sale; and those that meet the definition of loans and receivables - 9 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Recognition and Measurement Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date the date on which the Bank commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Bank has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are initially recognized at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs and measured subsequently at amortized cost. Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in a foreign currency and classified as available-for-sale are analyzed between translation differences resulting from changes in amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. The translation differences on monetary securities are recognized in profit or loss; translation differences on non-monetary securities are recognized in equity. Changes in the fair value of monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of income as net gain on sale of securities. Interest on available-for-sale securities calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the statement of income as part of interest on securities. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in the statement of income as part of other income when the Bank s right to receive payments is established. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Bank establishes fair value by valuation techniques. - 10 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Impairment of Financial Assets a. Held-to-maturity investments The Bank assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event ) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income. b. Available-for-sale securities The Bank assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Bank uses the criteria referred to in (a) above. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through the statement of income. - 11 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Allowance for Loan Losses The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets or group of financial assets that can reliably estimated. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses when impairment has occurred, through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when Management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to other income. The allowance for loans losses is performed in relation to possible loan losses of clients whose loans have been reviewed individually and have been identified as non-recoverable, after periodic review in which Management considers the estimated recovery of the debtor, co-debtors or guarantee payment sources and the realization of assets received as collateral. Income and Expense Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, and amortization of premium and discounts are recognized within interest income and interest expense in the statement of income using the effective interest method. Banking fees and commissions are generally recognized when the service has been provided. Portfolio and other management service fee expenses are recognized on an accrual basis based on the applicable service contracts. Income Tax Under the present laws of the Cayman Islands, the Bank is not subject to income taxes. The Bank intends to conduct its operations so as not to be subject to taxation in any other jurisdiction. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, on demand and shortterm investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less from the date of acquisition. - 12 -

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Borrowings Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized on an effective yield basis. Financial Liabilities The Bank s holding in financial liabilities is in financial liabilities at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are derecognized when extinguished. Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are deposits from banks or customers, for which the fair value option is not applied. 3. Financial Risk Management The Bank is exposed to the following financial risks: Credit risk Liquidity risk Market risk (includes interest rate, currency risk and other price risk) The Board of Directors of the Bank has the responsibility to establish and oversee the policies of financial instruments risk management. Accordingly, it has appointed committees in charge of the periodic administration and oversight of the risks to which the Bank is exposed. The Audit Committee is responsible for verifying the correct functioning of the internal control system and the compliance of the internal and external audit programs by means of internal policies and procedures to detect control and internal administration problems, as well as the corrective measures implemented based on the evaluations carried out by the internal audit function, the external auditors and the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. The audit committee is assisted in these functions by the Internal Audit Department. This Department carries out regular audits to the Company s processes and controls of risk management; the results are reported to the Audit Committee. Credit Risk It is the risk of financial loss that faces the Bank if a client or counterparty in a financial instrument does not fully comply with his commitments. Credit risk arises mainly from loan granting activities and investments in bonds. Credit risk also exists in off-balance financial instruments, such as guarantees granted and commitments to grant credits, if any. - 13 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Credit Risk (continued) The Board of Directors and the General Management have delegated the responsibility of the identification and risks management to their Risk Committee, which at the same time has delegated the credit risk management to Credit Committee. The main function of the Credit Committee is to do a follow-up on risk, to assist in the design of policies and procedures, verify its compliance and warn the Board of Directors and General Management regarding risks that could require additional controls. The Risk Committee has established some procedures to manage credit risk, such as: 1. Drafting of credit policies 2. Establishment of authorization limits 3. Concentration limits 4. Exposure limits 5. Risk evaluation development and maintenance 6. Review of policy compliance The Internal Audit Department carries out regular audits to the Company s credit processes. Credit risk measurement In measuring credit risk on loans, the Bank considers three components (i) the probability of default by the client or counterparty on its contractual obligations; (ii) current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development, from which the Bank derives the exposure at default ; and (iii) the likely recovery ratio on the defaulted obligations (the loss given default ). a) Loans receivable risk For the application of provisions for the consumer loan portfolio (credit cards), the Bank establishes 100% provision for all loans for which the payment of capital and interest has been outstanding for more than 180 days. b) Investments in securities For investments in securities, external ratings or their equivalents are taken into consideration by the Board of Directors at the time of evaluating and approving the authorized counterparts and/or issuers. - 14 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Credit Risk (continued) Collateral The Bank implements guidelines on the acceptability of collateral for credit risk mitigation. Mainly, collateral consists of pledges over deposits placed in the Bank. As of and 2011, the loans of the Bank do not have collateral because the loan portfolio only includes credit cards. Impairment and provisioning policies Impairment on loans is determined considering the amount of principal and interest in accordance to the contractual term. Loans are classified based on the book value at the date of analysis in the following categories, from a lower to higher risk: neither past due nor impaired, past due not impaired and impaired. Once each loan risk is classified, specific provisions are constituted based on the estimated recovery of the principal. Maximum exposure to credit risk before credit guarantees and other credit enhancements: Maximum Exposure Loans Consumer US$ 5,633,758 US$ 6,296,787 Investments in securities Private debt securities US$ 42,015,418 US$ 48,378,973 Government debt securities 5,682,153 14,020,003 US$ 47,697,571 US$ 62,398,976-15 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Credit Risk (continued) Concentration of risk of financial assets with credit risk exposure The Bank monitors the credit risk concentration by economic sector and geographical location. This exposure has been classified according to the geographical location based on the country where the cash flows were generated to obtain the recovery of the liability and/or from which the return of the invested resources were obtained. The credit risk concentration analysis at the date of the financial statements is the following: Held-to- Available-for- Maturity Country Cash in Banks Sale Securities Investments Loans Argentina US$ - US$ - US$ - US$ 2,726 Brazil - 18,085,353 5,069,819 10,152 Colombia - 1,959,596-4,763,761 Costa Rica - - - 7,749 Chile - 5,202,033 8,971,827 - El Salvador - - - 33,662 Mexico - - 2,986,425 13,425 Panama 184,816,403 - - 33,427 Peru - 3,327,802-1,390 Puerto Rico - - - 2,803 Spain - - - 12,546 United States of America 44,186,426 - - 83,394 Venezuela - 2,094,716-2,026 Others - - - 20,630 US$ 229,002,829 US$ 30,669,500 US$ 17,028,071 US$ 4,987,691-18 -

The liquidity risk can be the result of the inability to sell an asset rapidly for an amount close to its reasonable value. This risk is managed by keeping adequate liquidity levels in liquidity assets and with international banks, in addition to a system for managing liquidity risk. The Board of Directors has delegated some of its attributions in the Liquidity Committee, who, in accordance with the General Management, establishes policies and procedures for the adequate management of this risk, such as minimum liquidity levels, follow-up to the composition of the liabilities and concentration of the same, among others. - 19 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Liquidity Risk (continued) The methodology for measuring the liquidity risk of the different positions of the balance sheet, both assets and liabilities, involves projecting contractual future flows both of capital and of interest; some positions such as time deposits, expected future cash flows are projected, affecting contractual flows for an alleged contractual renewal. The flows are located in defined bands of time and are calculated in relation to the difference between the assets and liabilities flows, obtaining the liquidity GAP for different time horizons, besides the liquidity accumulated GAP. The following table illustrates the liquidity GAP analysis: Under 1 1 to 3 3 to 12 More than Month Months Months 1 to 5 Years 5 Years Total (Expressed in US$) Assets Cash in banks 79,007,090 70,579,700 81,040,829 - - 230,627,619 Available-for-sale-securities 263,375 445,734 659,761 19,098,215 14,668,125 35,135,210 Held-to-maturity investments 118,750 67,500 626,250 18,958,750-19,771,250 Loans 548,165 963,147 2,751,941 2,304,807 12,510 6,580,570 79,937,380 72,056,081 85,078,781 40,361,772 14,680,635 292,114,649 Liabilities Deposits 164,496,218 5,554,414 36,987,201 48,618,341-255,656,174 Net Liquidity (84,558,838) 66,501,667 48,091,580 (8,256,569) 14,680,635 36,458,475 Under 1 1 to 3 3 to 12 More than Month Months Months 1 to 5 Years 5 Years Total (Expressed in US$) December 31, 2011 Assets Cash in banks 33,580,671 113,842,918 85,696,918 - - 233,120,507 Available-for-sale-securities 2,934,875 5,463,234 1,693,012 16,411,463 24,190,875 50,693,459 Held-to-maturity investments 118,750 3,687,813 626,250 14,415,000 5,356,250 24,204,063 Loans 612,677 1,076,498 3,075,813 2,546,632 43,428 7,355,048 37,246,973 124,070,463 91,091,993 33,373,095 29,590,553 315,373,077 Liabilities Deposits 170,357,089 8,110,765 27,716,755 56,350,807 17,217,522 279,752,938 Net Liquidity (133,110,116) 115,959,698 63,375,238 (22,977,712) 12,373,031 35,620,139-20 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Market Risk Market risk is the risk that the Bank may suffer losses arising from fluctuations in interest rate risk, price risk and currency risk. The Board of Directors has determined that the definition, follow-up and control of general policies on management of assets and liabilities, and the assumption of market risk is verified by Assets and Liabilities Committee and Investments Committee, directly, which are composed for members of the Board of Directors and executive personnel of the Bank, these committees are responsible for the development of policies for market risks management, and also for checking and approving the adequate implementation of such policies. The main objective to manage market risk is to manage and monitor the investment portfolio and the different positions in the balance sheet exposed to market risks, and also to analyze the impact of new business strategies that the Bank wants to develop. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed by Assets and Liabilities Committee. The table below summarizes the Bank s exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the table are the Bank s assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier of contractual repricing or maturity dates: 1 to 3 3 to 6 6 Months to 1 Year to More than Non-Interest Months Months 1 Year 3 Years 3 Years Bearing Total (Expressed in US$) Assets Cash in banks 149,002,829 40,000,000 40,000,000 - - - 229,002,829 Available-for-sale securities - - - - 30,669,500-30,669,500 Held-to-maturity investments - - - - 17,028,071-17,028,071 Loans - - - 2,544,508 2,443,182-4,987,691 149,002,829 40,000,000 40,000,000 2,544,508 50,140,153-281,688,092 Liabilities Deposits 190,342,049 19,575,912 17,716,237 24,872,644-1,796,576 254,303,418 Total interest reprising gap (41,339,320) 20,420,088 22,283,763 (22,328,136) 50,140,153-21 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Market Risk (continued) Price risk (continued) Price risk also includes covers the transfer and convertibility risks. There exists in every transaction where, due to legal provisions, the debtor or counterpart cannot transfer funds in the currency and place of payment stipulated in the operation regardless of the particular financial condition of the debtor. Currency Risk Currency risk is the risk which the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuates as a consequence of variations in the foreign currency exchange rates. The Bank uses several techniques for management of the risk exposure to currency risk, including investments in securities in other currencies, and others. The table below summarizes the Bank s exposure to foreign currency exchange risk at December 31. Included in the table are the Bank s financial instruments at carrying amounts, categorized by currency: Euros US$ Total Assets Cash in banks US$ 500,092 US$ 228,502,737 US$ 229,002,829 Available-for-sale securities 5,888,566 24,780,934 30,669,500 Held-to-maturity investments - 17,028,071 17,028,071 Loans, net - 4,987,691 4,987,691 Accrued interest receivable 211,743 1,035,915 1,247,658 Other receivables and fixed assets 99 226,449 226,548 Total assets US$ 6,600,500 US$ 276,561,797 US$ 283,162,297 Liabilities Deposits US$ 6,548,729 US$ 247,754,689 US$ 254,303,418 Accrued interest payable 4,356 949,232 953,588 Other payables - 54,382 54,382 Total liabilities US$ 6,553,085 US$ 248,758,303 US$ 255,311,388 Net exposure to foreign currency exchange risk US$ 47,415 US$ 27,803,494 US$ 27,850,909-23 -

To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business. To ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory capital requirements to which the Bank is subject. - 24 -

3. Financial Risk Management (Continued) Capital Management (continued) The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Cayman Island Monetary Authority (CIMA). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank s assets, liabilities, and certain offbalance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain the higher of US$500,000 or a risk asset ratio of 10% (2011: 10%). The risk asset ratio and capital of the Bank as of are 40.97% (2011: 31.19%) or US$27,687,884 (2011: US$23,445,158). Management believes, as of and 2011, that the Bank meets all regulatory capital adequacy requirements established by CIMA. 4. Fair Value of the Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair value disclosures for financial statements: Deposits Placed with Banks - The carrying value approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Investments Securities - Fair value for investments in securities classified as availablefor-sale securities and held-to-maturity investment are substantially based on quoted market prices or quotations of broker agents and financial institutions that are active in the market of the referenced values. If the market for financial instrument is not active, the Bank established fair value by using a valuation technique. When valuation technique is used to determine fair value, this is reviewed and approved by the Management. As far as practicable, model uses only observable data; however, areas such as credit risk (down and counterparty), volatilities and correlations require judgment to make estimates. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect reported fair value. - 25 -

4. Fair Value of the Financial Instruments (Continued) Loans Receivable - The fair value of loans is based on the present value of the future cash flows estimated to be collected. Those cash flows are discounted to the current rates for similar groups of loans. Deposits (Liability) - The fair value for time deposits is estimated as the present value of the future cash flows using a discounted interest rate for deposits of similar maturities.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources; unobservable inputs reflect the Bank s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy: - Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed equity securities and debt instruments on exchanges and exchanges traded derivatives like futures. - Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). - Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes equity investments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components. - 26 -

4. Fair Value of the Financial Instruments (Continued) This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The Bank considers relevant and observable market prices in its valuations where possible.

5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies The Bank s financial statements include estimates performed by the Bank s management to quantify some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments included in the balance sheet. The main estimates and assumptions made in preparing the financial statements are the following: Impairment Losses on Loans and Advances The Bank reviews its loan portfolio to assess impairments on a quarterly basis. In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in the income statement, the Bank makes estimates as to whether there is any observable information indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of loans before the decrease can be identified with an individual loan in that portfolio. Evidence may include observable information indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a bank, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the Bank. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the portfolio when scheduling its future cash flows. The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience. 6.
