Commercial Activity:
Business volumes, including total loans plus deposits, were up by almost Ps 73,000 million over the past
twelve months, growing 18%.
The number of clients rose 12% to 7 million as of the first half of 2006, with over 10 million debit and credit
cards and more than 175 thousand mutual fund agreements. The number of transactions per month grew
25% on a yearly basis, most notably at alternate channels, which rose 35% and accounted for 78% of total
transactions.
The Credit Card business outperformed the market during the second quarter of the year. Total credit card
loans grew by more than Ps 4,700 million during the quarter, ending at Ps 29,611 million as of June 2006,
for a YoY 60% increase, allowing market quota to end the period at 17.3%.
Regarding new accounts opened, Santander broke the record again with 651,000 new cards placed during
the second quarter of 2006, for a total of almost 3.9 million cards as of the first half of the year. During the
first six months of the year, Santander placed over 1 million new cards in the market.
During 2Q06, total billing rose to Ps 17,548 million, representing over 57% growth as compared to the same
year-earlier period. On a cumulative basis, billing exceeded the Ps 31,000 million mark during the first half
of the year, coming in even higher than full-year 2005 figures.
2
The Consumer Loans business also hit a record high in terms of loan extensions, with over 110,000 loans
extended during the second quarter of the year, for a total worth of over Ps 4,300 million. On a cumulative
basis, loans worth a total of Ps 6,900 million were extended, again coming in above full-year 2005 levels.
As of June 30, 2006, total consumer loans (excluding credit cards) grew 79% vs. June 2005, to end at a
total of Ps 9,791 million.
Activities connected with Small- and Medium-Sized Companies (Pymes) recorded positive commercial
results during the second quarter, with 5% and 3% increases in demand deposits and deposits plus mutual
funds, respectively. Commercial loan growth came in at a 24-month record high of 17%. As regards
commercial processing and delivery, two new initiatives were implemented this quarter, aimed at positioning
our brand as the market leader in terms of competitiveness and response time in Pymes loan extensions.
Such initiatives consisted of optimizing and reducing by 60% the documentation required for loan approval,
and the coming on line of the Pymes Factory to lower the network's administrative burden and provide funds
to customers in only two-days time.
Mortgage loans recorded their best quarter yet in terms of new mortgage loan volumes (up by 2,300) since
new mortgages started being extended again in 2001. Modifying agreements were also placed in the
market, allowing customers who acquired their mortgage loans at higher rates in pesos during previous
years to sign an agreement whereby they will benefit from the same rates, terms, and conditions currently
offered in the open market. This same fixed-rate product with rewards for timely payment is also being
offered to our UDI clients, allowing for a fixed outstanding balance in pesos, the early encashment of the
Punto Final Debtor Support Program discount benefits, and greater certainty in terms of fixed monthly
payments.
In Mutual Funds, monthly funding remained at Ps 2,800 million on average, despite strong market volatility.
As of the second quarter of the year, assets totaled Ps 101,796 million, representing 35% growth in funding
on an inter-annual basis.
Santander remains as the second largest mutual fund manager in the Funds for Individuals segment. As
mutual fund performance and product innovation drove positive results for Santander Asset Management
during 1H06, customers earned competitive yields as compared to other funds in the market during the
period.
During the first half of 2006, two new Private Banking-oriented mutual funds were launched to complement
the “ST&ER Family of Funds”: The STERIN1, an international long-term debt fund, and the STERASI equity
fund, which allows for diversification via investments in Asian companies.
On the other hand, the PREMIER Fund, which Santander began marketing in early 2006, is a Fund of
Funds aimed at the Premier and Banking Plus segments that serves to fulfill an asset diversification and
allocation strategy by investing its assets in a series of Funds belonging to the "ST&ER Family of Funds”.
With respect to Global Wholesale Banking, Santander has been recognized by the Ministry of Finance and
Public Credit (in Spanish, Secretaría de Hacienda and Crédito Público or SHCP) as the leader of the FixedIncome Market Makers Program, with an index market quota of 21%. This program was created to increase
the liquidity and depth of the secondary Federal Government debt market. Market makers are evaluated on
an ongoing basis by the SHCP according to their trading activity with government securities.
Other segments led by Santander included:

1. The Organized Derivatives Market—MEXDER—with Santander boasting the strongest trading levels
in Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (TIIE) futures, Treasury Certificates (Cetes), Price and
Quotations Index (IPC), and M10 Notes during the first half of 2006.
2. FX trading volumes, with an 18.4% quota as of May 2006, according to the last report issued by the
Central Bank.
3. Infrastructure Project Financing and Advisory, a segment with strong growth prospects in Mexico. As
an example, negotiations were closed on two different projects worth US$ 150 million:
• First "Service Provision Project" (in Spanish, Proyectos para Prestación de Servicios or PPS)
for the Irapuato-La Piedad Highway, belonging to a program implemented by the Mexican
Government to build and execute several different projects in the highway, education and
health sectors
• PEMEX Nitrogen Plant Project
4. Santander served as "Lead Underwriter" for the Stock Market Certificates issued by "Telefónica
Móvil" worth a total of Ps 6,500 million.
During the second quarter of the year, Middle Market Banking showed strong dynamics across all
business lines. Funding rose 17.6% on an inter-annual basis, with strong increases in demand deposits,
directly attributable to higher transactionality levels from current and new clients, as well as 37.9% YoY
growth in mutual funds. Total loans were up 37.5% YoY, due to loan management efforts resulting from
business orientation meetings.
Universia – Universidades Program: Continuing with Grupo Santander México's commitment, a Universia
Classroom was donated to the Banking and Commercial School (in Spanish, Escuela Bancaria y Comercial
or EBC) for the development of high-technology multimedia classrooms, allowing both students and
teachers to further their education and professional development. Universia Directors and Deans who are
also members of the Board attended the Eighth Meeting of Universia's Board of Directors. During this
meeting, attendants confirmed the program's outstanding results and also outlined significant commitments
regarding their joint participation with member Universities.

Financial Results:
This was a good quarter for Santander, as commercial dynamics translated into increased funding and loan
volumes, as well as strong results across all of Santander's businesses, offsetting the downward trend in
interest rates observed over the past twelve months.
On a cumulative basis, net interest income w/o repos or monetary gains/losses (repomo) rose 28% during
the first half of 2006 as compared to the same year-earlier period, and 31% in 2Q06.
Higher business volumes and number of transactions led to 12% YoY growth in cumulative banking service
commissions (excluding Afore results).
On a cumulative basis, 1H06 trading results came in at a positive Ps 225 million. In 2Q06, however, the
negative impact on financial instrument valuations caused by volatility in long-term interest rates led to Ps
285 million in trading losses during this period.
Cumulative 1H06 non-interest expenses were up 8% as compared to 1H05, associated with Santander's
commercial business expansion and increases in transactionality levels, sales force and infrastructure. On a
quarterly basis, non-interest expenses rose 3%.
As of June 2006, cumulative and quarterly operating income grew 31% and 25% vs. 1H05 and 2Q05,
respectively.
Past-due loans represented 0.8% of total loans as of June 2006, while reserve coverage ended the period
at 214%, confirming the quality of Group assets.
Banco Santander's capitalization ratio stood at 14.3% as of June 30, 2006.

Net Interest Income
During the first half of 2006, Grupo Santander's net interest income w/o repos or monetary gains/losses totaled Ps
8,410 million, up 28% as compared to the same year-earlier period. This was largely attributable to stronger total loan
volumes, improvements in loan portfolio composition with an increased contribution of consumer loans to total loans
and higher demand deposits, the combination of which helped offset the decline in interest rates observed over the
past twelve months.
During the second quarter of 2006, net interest income grew 31% as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

Net Fees and Commissions
Net commissions for the first half of the year rose 5% as compared to the first half of last year. Banking commissions
grew 12%, while Afore commissions declined 26% during the period in reference.
The inter-annual increase in banking commissions was largely due to increases in credit card, collection and payment,
and mutual fund commissions. Another contributing factor was the 35% YoY increase in transaction volumes through
alternate channels.
In 2Q06, Afore commissions declined due to a one-time contribution made during the quarter and lower rates charged
to affiliates.

Debt Instruments
The financial instrument portfolio grew 78% from March 2006 to June 2006, on the back of increases in tradeable
government and bank securities as well as government securities available for sale over the past three months. As of
June 2006, the financial instrument portfolio was broken down as follows: 82% in government securities, 11% in bank
securities, 2% in stocks, and 4% in other instruments.
11
Non-Interest Expense
During the first six months of 2006, non-interest expense rose 8% vs. the first six months of 2005. This increase in the
expense base is explained by the Group's commercial activity expansion, which has called for stronger commercial
and sales forces, increased infrastructure, and increases in the number of transactions.
During 2Q06, non-interest expense grew 4%, with a 7.4% quarterly increase in credit card-related operating expenses
due to both the success of this product and increases in billing and number of cards, and 4.7% growth in administrative
and operating expenses.
The increase in yearly contributions to the IPAB was attributable to the Group's higher deposit base.
Efficiency (operating expenses / total income) improved by 490 bp over the past twelve months, to end at 40.9% as of
1H06.

Capitalization Ratio
As of June 30, 2006, Banco Santander's capitalization ratio ended at 14.3%, dropping 720 bp as compared to March
2006, while capitalization ratio for Tier I capital stood at 14.1%. Both ratios take account of both credit and market
risk-weighted assets.
The quarterly reduction in Santander's capitalization ratio was due mainly to an increase in risk-weighted assets, which
in turn called for an increase in capital requirements. Credit risk-weighted assets grew as a result of increases in total
loans, while market risk-weighted assets rose mainly as a result of transactions performed at nominal interest rates in
pesos with positions in debt instruments and futures.
Beginning on January 2, 2006, capitalization ratio is computed pursuant to the amended capitalization rules applicable
to multiple banking institutions. As such, figures for prior periods are not comparable.
As of May 2006, Banco Santander is classified as Category I, pursuant to the general rules set forth in Article 134bis of
the Credit Institutions Law (in Spanish, Ley de Instituciones de Crédito).

28. Global Value at Risk Exposure (VaR)
Grupo Santander regards risk management as a competitive element of a strategic nature, with the ultimate purpose of maximizing
the shareholders’ value. This risk management is defined, conceptually and organizationally, as the comprehensive treatment of the
different risks assumed by the Bank in the normal course of business, such as credit, market, liquidity, operating and legal risks. The
Institution’s management of the risk inherent in its transactions is essential for understanding and determining how its financial
position will behave and in creating value in the long term.
In compliance with the prudential rules established by CNBV, regarding the comprehensive management of risks for credit
institutions the Board of Directors of the Group established the Comprehensive Risk Management Committee, which will function
according to the guidelines established in these Circulars. This Committee will hold monthly meetings and see that transactions are
inline with the objectives, policies and procedures approved by these guidelines for the comprehensive management of risks.
The Comprehensive Risk Management Committee, in turn, appoint the Comprehensive Risk Management Unit, which will be
responsible among others, for implementing the procedures aimed at measuring, managing and controlling risks, according to the
policies for comprehensive management of risks. Furthermore, this committee empowers authorization to approve deviation from
established limits, and inform the Board of Directors of such deviations.
Market risk
The Market Risk Management Department of the Comprehensive Risk Management Unit is responsible among other for
recommending the market risk management policies to be implemented by the Institution, by establishing the parameters for
measuring risks and delivering reports, analysis and evaluations to senior management, to the Comprehensive Risk Management
Committee and to the Board of Directors.
The market risk measurement quantifies the potential change in the value of the positions assumed as a result of changes in the
market risk factors.
Depending on the nature of each business unit's activities, debt instruments and stock are recorded as marketable securities,
sellable securities and/or securities held to maturity. Specifically, the main distinguishing feature of sellable securities is their
permanent nature; therefore, these securities are managed as a structural part of the balance sheet. The Institution has prepared
guidelines with which all sellable securities must comply, and has also implemented adequate controls to insure such compliance.
Once significant risks are identified, they are measured and limits are assigned in order to ensure appropriate control over them.
The global measurement of the risk is made through a combination of the methodology applied on the trading portfolios and the
management of assets and liabilities.
Trading portfolios
To measure risks using a global approach, the Value at Risk (VaR) method is followed, which is defined as the statistical estimate of
the potential loss of value of a specific position at a specific period of time and with a specific level of confidence. The VaR is a
47
universal measure of the exposure level of the various risk portfolios, it helps compare the risk level assumed among different
instruments and markets, expressed in the exposure level of each portfolio through a unique figure in economic units.
The VaR is calculated using the historical simulation method, with a 521-working day window (520 percentage changes) and a oneday horizon. The calculation is made based on the series of gains and losses simulated as 1% percentile with constant pesos and
with pesos decreasing on an exponential basis, with a decrease factor λ that is annually reviewed. The level of confidence is
variable. A 99% level of confidence is assumed.
As of June 30, 2006 the (unaudited) VaR was as follows:

Weekly simulations are also performed to assess portfolio losses or gains by revaluating portfolios under different scenarios (stress
testing). These estimates are generated using three different methods:
48
•
By adjusting risk factors for percentage variations observed during a certain time period in history encompassing significant
market turbulence.
•
By adjusting risk factors for changes that depend on the volatility of each risk factor.
Once a month back-testing is carried out to compare the losses and the gains that would have been observed had the same
positions been maintained against the calculation of the value at risk and to be able to fine tune the models used. While these
reports are prepared once a month, they include the tests performed on a daily basis.
Management of assets and liabilities
The Institution’s commercial banking activities generate significant balance sheet amounts. The Assets and Liabilities Committee
(ALCO) is responsible for determining the strategies for managing the financial margin, net worth value and liquidity risks. These
strategies must be followed by the different commercial portfolios. Under this approach, the General Finance Director is responsible
for executing the strategies defined by ALCO, in order to modify the risk profile of the commercial portfolio balance, according to the
established policies. Hence, meeting the information requirements of the interest rate, exchange and liquidity risks is fundamental.
As part of the Institution’s financial management, the sensitivity of the financial margin (NIM) and net worth value (NWV) of the
different balance sheet line items is analyzed against the interest rate variances. This sensitivity arises because of a timing
difference between maturity dates of the assets and liabilities and the dates interest rates change. An analysis is done of each line
item sensitive to interest rates throughout time, considering its amortization or maturity date and contractual changes to the
applicable interest rates.

Simulation techniques are used to measure the predictable valuation of the financial margin and the net worth value in various
interest rate scenarios, and the sensitivity of both under extreme change in such scenarios.
ALCO adopts investment and hedging strategies in order to maintain the above sensitivities within the target range.
Limits
Limits are used to control the global risk of the Group based on each portfolio and the books. The structure of limits is applied to
control the exposures and to establish the overall risk assigned to the business units. These limits are established with respect to
the VaR, warning of loss, maximum loss, interest rate equivalent volume, variable income delta equivalent, open foreign currency
positions, financial margin sensitivity, and net worth value sensitivity.
49
Liquidity risk
The liquidity risk is associated to Institution’s capacity to finance the commitments assumed at reasonable market prices, as well as
to carry out its business plans through stable financing sources. The influential factors may be external (liquidity crisis) and internal,
due to excessive concentration of maturities.
The Group coordinate maturities of assets and liabilities, monitoring the maximum timing difference profiles. This monitoring is
based on the analysis of the maturities of assets and liabilities, established by contract or derived from their management. The
liquidity risk is established in terms of aggregate non-liquidity levels during a 1 month period an in relation of a liquidity coefficient
established.

Credit risk
Credit risk within the Group is managed differently for each of the customer segments throughout the three stages of the credit
process: acceptance, follow-up and recovery.
Under a global perspective, credit risk management within the Group is responsible for the identification, measurement, integration
and valuation of added risk, with the purpose of monitoring the risk concentration levels and adapting them to the established limits
and objectives.
The risks that are managed on an individual basis (companies and financial institutions and entities) are identified and separated
from other risks that are managed in a standard way (consumer, personal, mortgage loans and business and microcompany loans).
Risks managed on an individual basis are subject to a solvency or rating classification system that allows measuring the risk for
each client and for each transaction from the beginning. The rating of the customer after analyzing the relevant risk factors in
different areas is subsequently adjusted as a function of the specific characteristics of the transaction (collateral, term, etc.).
Risks that are managed in a standard way require, due to their special characteristics (large number of transactions of relatively
small amounts), different management that allows an efficient process and an effective use of resources, for which purpose
automatic decision tools are used (expert and credit scoring systems).
The credit process for companies is complemented, during the follow-up stage, with a special monitoring system that determines the
policy to be applied in managing risk with companies or groups classified under this category. Different situations or special
monitoring levels require different actions. A special monitoring classification is given when there are warning signals, systematic
reviews, or specific actions recommended by the Risk Division or Internal Audit.
Recovery Units represent a critical element in managing irregular risks because their purpose is to minimize the final loss for the
Group. In both Spain and Latin America, these units are in charge of specialized risk management as of the moment on which loans
are classified as irregular-risk loans (defaulting payment).
Based on prudent criteria determined by Grupo Santander, Grupo Financiero Santander has established a policy for the selective
growth of risk, strict treatment of late payments, and the creation of required allowances.
Probable noncompliance and expected losses
The prudential rules regarding the comprehensive management of risks for credit institutions require financial institutions to calculate
the noncompliance probability as part of the credit risk management function. The system allows estimating the noncompliance
probability in connection with the counterparty risk.
50
a)
The noncompliance probability is determined using transition matrices, which consider the results of prior period classifications
and the results obtained during the current period.
b)
Once the noncompliance probability is determined, the seriousness of the loss is calculated, considering the recoverability
factor, which is used as the basis to calculate the expected position of the reserves.
Transition matrixes assume one-year historical grading periods for each type of portfolio, as well as the distribution of current
positions per rating. Once projection matrixes are obtained per portfolio type, the integration of exposure per risk level and
consequently, the forecast Probability of Default, are determined.
Expected losses are calculated based on the recovery factor, which is represented by the loss balances and their exposed amounts
(based on collateral).
Back testing is performed on a monthly basis to compare the level of estimated and real provisions derived from official grading
exercises. Overall, the model's accuracy rate is above 90% (unaudited) for all portfolio types.
Counterparty risks
Credit risk includes an item—Counterparty Risk—, which requires special management due to its nature.
Counterparty Risk is the risk assumed by an Institution with governments, government agencies, financial institutions, corporations,
companies, and individuals in treasury and correspondent banking activities. Measurement and control of Financial Instrument
Credit Risk—Counterparty Risk—is performed by a specialized unit with an organizational structure that is independent from other
business areas.
Day-to-day Counterparty Risk control is performed using the Global Kreditnet (KGL) system, which provides information regarding
available lines of credit of any counterparty and for any product and term.
Counterparty line item control is performed using the Equivalent Credit Risk (ECR). ECR is an estimate of the amount that the
Institution could lose in current transactions with a specific counterparty, if the latter should fail to comply with its obligations at any
given time up to the date of maturity of such transactions. ECR considers Current Credit Exposure—defined as the cost of replacing
the transaction at market value, provided this amount is positive for the Institution—is measured as the transaction market value
(TVM). In addition, ECR incorporates Potential Credit Exposure or Additional Potential Risk (APR), which represents the possible
evolution of current credit exposure up to maturity, given the characteristics of the transaction and considering possible variations in
market factors. ECR calculations also consider the existence of counterparty credit risk mitigating factors, such as collateral
agreements and netting agreements, among others.
Delivery or settlement risk is another risk in addition to Counterparty Risk, which arises for any transaction at the time of maturity,
given the counterparty's possible failure to comply with its payment obligations to the Institution, once the Institution has satisfied its
own obligations and issued payment instructions.
Operating Risk
As regards Operating Risk, Grupo Financiero Santander has implemented policies, procedures and methodologies to identify,
measure, control, mitigate, oversee, and disclose operating risks, which are understood as potential losses due to internal control
failures or deficiencies, transaction processing and storage errors, data transmission errors, adverse administrative or judicial
resolutions, fraud or theft.
Several categories and lines of business that group operating incidents have been established to identify and measure operating
risks in accordance with the implemented methodology. This methodology is based on process identification and documentation, as
well as self-assessment tools, and considers the construction of historical databases and operating risk indicators, for purposes of
operating risk control, mitigation and disclosure.
Legal Risk
Legal risk is defined as potential loss derived from incompliance with applicable legal and administrative provisions, unfavorable
administrative and judicial resolutions, and the application of sanctions with respect to the operations carried out by the Institution.
Duties carried out to comply with Integral Risk Management guidelines include the following: a) Policies and procedures are
established to analyze the juridical validity of legal actions undertaken and to ascertain the adequate instrumentation of such legal
actions; b) Potential losses derived from unfavorable judicial or administrative resolutions and possible sanctions are estimated; c)
Legal actions governed by a juridical system other the national system are analyzed; d) Legal and administrative provisions applying
to operations are communicated to management and staff; e) Internal legal auditings are conducted at least once a year.
51
Technological Risk
Technological risk is defined as potential loss due to any damage, interruption, alteration or failure derived from the use or
dependence on hardware, software, systems, applications, networks and any other information distribution channel in rendering
banking services to the Institution's clients.
The Institution has built a Technological Risk Management model that has been incorporated into information systems service and
support processes to identify, measure, monitor, control and report on IT risks to which its operations are exposed. This model aims
to prioritize the implementation of control measures to lower the chance of risk realization.
