RECORDS

For the recording of operations, Provider Companies must implement and apply the requirements of the Accounting Books established in Title II of Book Two of the Commercial Code, articles 435 to 455, insofar as they do not oppose these norms. The movement and balance of accounts will be recorded in the main books and that of sub-accounts in auxiliary books that are considered necessary. The main books that must be legalized are the following:

In case the Provider Company considers it convenient and necessary, they may legalize the Journal and the General Ledger in a single Journal-Ledger.
The figures entered in the main books and in the auxiliary books must be presented in absolute values including cents with two decimals.
The Financial Statements entered in the respective Book must be presented in a comparative form with the figures of the same period of the previous year.

9.2. Tax Books
The Provider Company must keep the books of legal requirement, in accordance with the Law on Tax on the Transfer of Movable Goods and the Provision of Services, which must comply with what is established in the Tax Code and its respective application regulation. The Tax Books of legal requirement are:

For the case of the minutes of the Shareholders' General Meeting and the Board of Directors, in addition to complying with what is stipulated in the Commercial Code, they must be entered in the corresponding Legal Books. All of the above without prejudice to other legal records that may be required by regulations issued by the Central Bank or by another competent authority.

INTERNAL CONTROL APPLIED TO ACCOUNTING RECORDS
The Provider Company will establish internal control systems directed to reasonably ensure the reliability of accounting records, as well as the correct integration of operations. The internal control system may contain aspects such as:
a) Accounting records with the necessary detail of the characteristics of assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses, so that all the information contained in the different statements to be rendered can be derived clearly from them, which will maintain the necessary correlation both among themselves, when appropriate, as with the accounting basis; b) Auxiliary detail of the composition of the balance of each of the sub-sub-accounts, in order to possess an adequate integration of the records; c) Inventory or details of the different items, independent of the books of an obligatory nature required by Salvadoran legislation; and d) Independent of the accounts specified to form the Financial Statements, the details deemed necessary for the preparation of the rest of the complementary informative statements will be established, thus developing an analytical accounting that provides sufficient information for the calculation of the costs and returns of the different centers, business lines, or other aspects of interest for adequate management control.
REGISTRATION AND ARCHIVING OF ACCOUNTING DOCUMENTATION
The operations that are registered in the books mentioned in item 9, must be backed by the corresponding documentation and comply with what is established in the Commercial Code, in articles 439 and 446. The Provider Company must archive the documentation that backs up its operations, in chronological order, including the Financial Statements that are prepared monthly and the Trial Balances. The Provider Company is obliged to conserve the records of its business in general as well as its Financial Statements, according to the periods established in articles 451 and 455 of the Commercial Code.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTING

Accounting will be governed according to the following precedence:
a) Salvadoran legislation that establishes specific accounting treatments; b) Accounting standards issued by the Central Bank; and c) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), provided that they develop topics for which there is no Salvadoran regulation. When the Provider Company applies IFRS, it will use those issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with what is established in item c) of this item. When IFRS provide different treatments for the same economic event, the Provider Company will use the most prudent treatment established in said Standards. Accounting will be developed applying the accounting criteria and fundamental characteristics indicated below:

12.1. Fair Presentation
Financial Statements must be drafted clearly, such that the information provided is understandable and useful for users in making their economic decisions, and must represent the fair image of the phenomena it intends to materialize, the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Provider Company, in accordance with legal and regulatory provisions. The systematic and regular application of the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in the following subsections must lead to the Financial Statements representing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Provider Company. To this effect, in the accounting of operations, attention will be paid to their economic reality and not only to their legal form.

When it is considered that compliance with the requirements, principles, and accounting criteria included in this Manual is not sufficient to represent the fair image, the precise complementary information will be provided in the notes to the Financial Statements to achieve this objective. In those exceptional cases where such compliance would be incompatible with the fair image that the Financial Statements must provide, such application will be considered inappropriate. In such cases, in the notes to the Financial Statements, this circumstance will be sufficiently reasoned and its influence on the equity, the financial situation, and the results of the Provider Company will be explained.

12.2. Requirements of the Information to be Included in Financial Statements
The information included in the Financial Statements must be relevant and reliable.
Information is relevant when it is useful for making economic decisions, that is, when it helps to evaluate past, present, or future events, or to confirm or correct evaluations made previously. In particular, to meet this requirement, Financial Statements must adequately show the risks to which the Provider Company is exposed. Information is reliable when it is free of material errors and is neutral, that is, it is free of bias and users can trust that it is the fair image of what it intends to represent. A quality derived from reliability is completeness, which is achieved when financial information contains, in a complete manner, all data that can influence decision-making, without any omission of significant information. Additionally, financial information must comply with the qualities of comparability and clarity. Comparability is the quality that financial information has to be able to compare it over time. Information will be formulated with similar criteria of identification, valuation, recording, and presentation that allow the possibility of comparing the financial situation, the results achieved, and the compliance with legal provisions of the Provider Company, in different periods or with other similar Provider Companies, in order to facilitate the analysis, evaluation, supervision, and audit of management and adequate accountability.

On the other hand, clarity implies that, based on a reasonable knowledge of economic activities, accounting, and corporate finance, users of Financial Statements, through a diligent examination of the information provided, can form judgments that facilitate decision-making.

12.3. Accounting Principles
The accounting of the Provider Company and, in particular, the recording and valuation of the elements of the Financial Statements, will be developed by applying obligatorily the accounting principles and fundamental hypotheses indicated below:

12.3.1. Going Concern
The management of the Provider Company will be considered indefinite. Financial Statements must be prepared from the hypothesis of going concern. Consequently, the application of accounting principles will not be aimed at determining the value of equity for the purposes of its global or partial alienation nor the resulting amount in case of liquidation. If Financial Statements are not prepared on the basis of going concern and there is doubt about the continuity of the business, such circumstance must be revealed along with the alternative criteria that have been used and the reasons why the Provider Company cannot be considered as a going concern.

12.3.2. Accrual
The effects of transactions or economic events will be recorded when they occur, imputing to the exercise to which the annual Financial Statements refer, the expenses and income that affect it, independent of the date of their payment or collection.

12.3.3. Uniformity
Once a criterion is adopted in the application of Accounting Principles within the alternatives that, if any, allow, it must be maintained over time as long as the assumptions that motivated the choice of said criterion are not altered. If for justified cause these change, the affected Financial Statements will be accompanied by an explanatory note that allows appreciating the origin of the new criteria and their quantitative and qualitative effect on equity, results, and total assets. Likewise, such changes and their effects will be recorded in the notes to the Financial Statements.

12.3.4. Non-Compensation
In no case can the items of assets and liabilities of the Balance Sheet, nor those of expenses and income of the Statement of Comprehensive Income, be offset, unless IFRS specifically allow or require it, which must be reported to the Superintendence. When this happens, it must be revealed in a note to the Financial Statements.

12.3.5. Materiality
Each item that possesses sufficient relative importance must be presented separately in the Financial Statements. Items of insignificant amounts must appear grouped with others of similar nature or function, provided that they must not be presented separately. The strict application of some of the accounting principles and criteria will be admitted when the relative importance in quantitative or qualitative terms of the variation that such fact produces is scarcely significant and, consequently, does not alter the expression of the fair image. In cases of conflict between accounting principles, the one that best leads to the Financial Statements expressing the fair image of the equity, the financial situation, and the comprehensive results of the Provider Company shall prevail.

CHAPTER II
ACCOUNTING FRAMEWORK

SECTION 1
SPECIFIC TREATMENTS DEFINED FOR PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OBJECTIVE
This Section aims to establish the method of presentation of Financial Statements.
SCOPE
The methods that must be applied by the Provider Company for the presentation of the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, and the Statement of Cash Flows are established.
CRITERIA FOR PRESENTATION OF ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Presentation refers to the way of incorporating accounting information into Financial Statements, such that said incorporation is uniform, period after period, reliable, and relevant for a better reading and interpretation of the different elements of the Financial Statements. Below, the models or methods defined for the presentation of the elements of the Financial Statements are detailed.

Financial Statement	Presentation Method	Comments
Balance Sheet	Assets and liabilities will be presented according to their term type and whether they are current or non-current.	This presentation method takes into consideration the ease of conversion into cash of assets and the exigibility of payment of liabilities, ignoring whether, both assets and liabilities, are current or non-current. This method is considered appropriate for the Provider Company, because information on expected dates of realization of assets and exigibility of liabilities is useful to evaluate the liquidity and solvency of the Provider Company and provides reliable and more relevant information. The adoption of this method does not exempt the Provider Company from revealing the amounts that are expected to be recovered or settled in a period less than or equal to one year after the date of the reported period and those that will be recovered in a period greater than one year, after the date of the reported period.
Statement of Comprehensive Income	Expenses will be accounted for applying the Method of the Nature of Expenses and revealing additional items that are considered necessary for the adequate understanding of the financial performance of the Provider Company.	Taking into consideration the nature of the Provider Company, this method of presentation of expenses is considered to provide a reliable and more relevant presentation, as it provides useful information on expenses that are materially representative of the Provider Company, while it can be easy to apply; the same is complemented with a detail of expenses that contribute to a better understanding of the financial performance of the Provider Company.
Statement of Cash Flows	Direct Method applied to operating, financing, and investment activities.	The advantage of presenting operating activities under the Direct Method is that it provides useful information to estimate future flows, which is not available when the indirect method is applied.

SECTION 2
PREPARATION, PRESENTATION, DISCLOSURE, AND PUBLICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OBJECTIVE
This Section aims to establish procedures that allow the preparation, presentation, and disclosure of Financial Statements, in accordance with regulatory requirements of the Standards Committee of the Central Bank and, where applicable, IFRS, in order to provide the public with sufficient and timely financial information on the financial, economic, and legal situation of Provider Companies.
SCOPE
This Section establishes the models of Financial Statements that the Provider Company must use to present its financial information, as well as the minimum framework of notes to them that they must observe when carrying out the disclosure of information for each line of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity, and Statement of Cash Flows, which must be prepared according to models established in Chapter V of this Manual.
REQUIREMENTS AND CONTENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The most relevant aspects that must be considered in the presentation and disclosure of Financial Statements are the following:
a) Technical Standards, Fundamental Hypotheses, and Qualitative Characteristics: Financial Statements must be prepared based on the standards issued by the Standards Committee of the Central Bank that are applicable to them and IFRS; b) Expression of Figures: The figures of the Financial Statements and those of their notes must be expressed in thousands of United States dollars with two decimals; c) Accounting Origin of Balances: The figures of the Financial Statements and those of their notes must have their origin in the balances of the general ledger at the corresponding reference date, which must contain definitive figures; d) Amounts to be Disclosed in Financial Statements: The amounts presented in the Financial Statements will be those that meet the condition of an asset, liability, equity, income, or expense; and e) Accounts of Nature Contrary to the Main Account where They Underlie: When it is necessary to disclose valuation and correction accounts that have a nature different from the accounts where they underlie, for example: accumulated depreciation, amortization, and impairment, which net off the accounts that originate them within the asset, among others. In these cases, such accounts must be presented in parentheses.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Financial Statements that must be prepared with reference to December 31 are: the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows according to models included in Chapter V, and their respective notes which must contain a summary of the most significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Likewise, the Provider Company must prepare a complete set of Financial Statements with reference to June 30 of each year. The notes present information regarding the bases for the preparation of the Financial Statements and about accounting policies, supply narrative descriptions and are an integral part of them, contain additional information, in detail, that complements the balances reflected in the Financial Statements. Furthermore, a Balance Sheet must be prepared at the beginning of the first comparative period, when a Provider Company applies an accounting policy retroactively or performs a retroactive restatement of items in its Financial Statements, or when it reclassifies items in its Financial Statements. The Financial Statements must be presented in comparative form for the same previous period.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
The Provider Company may incorporate additional notes it deems convenient for greater clarification of its figures and operations, without altering the sequential number designated to the notes established in this Manual.

RESPONSIBLE FOR PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the Financial Statements is the responsibility of the management of the Provider Company. The Financial Statements that are published must be signed by the signatures of the Comptroller General, and the President or Legal Representative; and must be accompanied by the interim report or external auditor's opinion, when applicable.
