______________

2.Legal regulations, basis of preparation and Other information:

 

(a)Legal regulations:

 

The Law 21,000 that creates the CMF, in its article 5, empowers it to issue accounting standards of general application for entities it supervises. The Corporations Law, in turn, requires following the generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Based on the aforementioned laws, banks should use the criteria provided by the Compendium of Accounting Standards (“Compendium”), and any matter not addressed therein, as long as it does not contradict its instructions, should adhere to generally accepted accounting principles standards issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants (Colegio de Contadores de Chile A.G.), that coincide with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) agreed upon by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Should there be discrepancies between these generally accepted accounting principles and the accounting criteria issued by the CMF, the latter shall prevail.

 

(b)Basis of preparation:

 

(b.1)These Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented according to Chapter C-2 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards, issued by the CMF.

 

(b.2)The following table details the entities in which the Bank has control and are part of this consolidated financial statements:

2.Legal regulations, basis of preparation and Other information, continued:

 

(c)Use of estimates and judgments:

 

Preparing the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Bank’s Management to make judgments, estimations and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the valuation of assets, liabilities, income and expenses presented. Actual results could differ from these estimated amounts. These estimates refer to:

 

1.Provision for loan losses (Notes 11, 12 and 32);
2.Useful life of intangible, property and equipment and leased assets and lease liabilities (Notes 15 and 16);
3.Income taxes and deferred taxes (Note 17);
4.Provisions (Note 24);
5.Contingencies and Commitments (Note 26);
6.Fair value of financial assets and liabilities (Note 39).

 

Estimates and relevant assumptions are regularly reviewed by the management of the Bank, according to quantify certain assets, liabilities, gains, loss and commitments. Estimates reviewed are registered in income in the period that the estimate is reviewed.

 

As of September 30, there have been no changes in the estimates made other than those indicated in Note No. 4.

 

(d)Seasonality or Cyclical Character of the Transactions of the Intermediate Period:

 

Given the activities to which the Bank and its subsidiaries are engaged, the transactions of the Bank do not have a cyclical or seasonal nature. For this reason, specific breakdowns in these notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 are not included.

 

(e)Relative Importance:

 

In determining the information to be disclosed on the different items of the financial statements or other matters, the relative importance in relation to the Financial Statements of the period has been taken into account.

 

(f)Leases:

 

The Bank acts as a lessor

 

Assets that are leased to clients under contracts that substantially transfer all risks and property recognition, with or without legal title, are classified as a financial lease. When the retained assets are subject to a financial leasing, the leased assets are no longer recognized and are recorded an account receivable, which is equal to the minimum value of the lease payment, discounted at the interest rate of the lease. The initial negotiation expenses in a financial lease are incorporated into the account receivable through the discount rate applied to the lease. Lease income is recognized on lease terms based on a model that consistently reflects a periodic rate of return on the net investment of the lease.

2.Legal regulations, basis of preparation and Other information, continued:

 

(f)Leases, continued:

 

Assets that are leased to customers under contracts that do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of the property are classified as an operating lease.

 

The leased investment properties, under the operating lease modality, are included in “Other assets” in the statement of financial position and depreciation is determined on the book value of these assets, applying a proportion of the value in a systematic way on the economic use of the estimated useful life. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease period.

 

The Bank acts as a lessee

 

A contract is or contains a lease if it has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.

 

At the start date of a lease, an asset is determined by right of use of the leased asset at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability plus other disbursements made.

 

The amount of the lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments that have not been paid on that date, which are discounted using the Bank’s incremental financing interest.

 

The right-of-use asset is measured using the cost model less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The depreciation of the right-of-use asset is recognized in the Income Statement based on the straight-line method of depreciation from the start date and until the end of the term of the lease.

 

As established by the Circular No. 3,649 of the CMF, the monthly variation of the UF for the contracts established in said monetary unit should be treated as a new measurement, therefore the value effect of this monetary unit as a result of the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) modifies the value of the lease liability and in parallel, the amount of the asset for the right to use leased assets must be adjusted for this effect.

 

After the start date, the lease liability is measured by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and the lease contract modifications.

 

According to IFRS 16 “Leases”, the bank does not apply this standard to contracts with duration of 12 months or less and those that contain a low value underlying asset. In these cases, the payments are recognized as a lease expense.

 

(g)Reclassifications:

 

There have not been significant reclassifications at the end of this period 2020.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

3.1 Standards approved and/or modified by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and by the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (CMF):

 

3.1.1 Standards and interpretations that have been adopted in these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

As of the date of issuance of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the new accounting pronouncements issued by both the International Accounting Standards Board and the CMF, which have been adopted by the Bank and its subsidiaries, are detailed below:

 

Accounting standards issued by IASB.

 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Definition of materiality or relative importance.

 

The IASB issued changes to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, to clarify the definition of materiality and align these standards with the Revised Conceptual Framework issued in March 2018, to facilitate companies to make materiality judgments.

 

Under the old definition omissions or misrepresentations of elements are important if they could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of Financial Statements (IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements).

 

The new definition states that information is material if the omission, distortion or concealment of the information can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that primary users of financial statements of general purpose make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

 

This amendment had no impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Interest rate benchmark reform.

 

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 7 and IAS 39, as a result of the IBOR (Interbank Offered Rate) reform, which results in the replacement of existing reference interest rates, by alternative interest rates.

 

The amendments provide temporary application exceptions that allow hedge accounting to continue during the uncertainty period, prior to the replacement of existing reference interest rates.

 

This amendment had no impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases, for facilities granted to lessees related to COVID-19.

 

During May 2020, the IASB issued the amendment to IFRS 16 Leases, to make it easier for lessees to account for changes in leases, due to the pandemic declared by COVID-19.

 

The amendment adds a practical simplification that deviates from the requirements in IFRS 16, and is provided only to give lessees practical relief during COVID-19. Therefore, it is not mandatory and empowers the lessee to choose whether or not to use practical simplification.

 

A lessee making this election must recognize in the accounting the changes resulting from the reductions in the rental payment, directly related to the COVID-19, consistent with the treatment that currently exists in the standard, to reflect a modification that does not mean a change in the lease contract.

 

Lessees are required to retrospectively apply the amendment, recognizing any differences that arise from initial application in the opening balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the annual reporting period from which the lessee first applies the amendment.

 

The amendment is applicable to the annual fiscal years beginning on or after June 1, 2020.

 

The implementation of this amendment had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

 

Accounting Standards issued by the CMF.

 

Circular No. 2,247. Foreclosed assets or received in lieu of payment. The sale period is extended.

 

On March 25, 2020, the CMF published this circular, which incorporated modifications to Chapter 10-1 “Assets received or awarded in payment of obligations” of the RAN. This circular is part of the work being done by the CMF in face of the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 virus.

 

The transitory standard establishes an additional term of up to 18 months to dispose of the assets, in the case of assets that have been received or awarded lieu of payment from March 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

 

The standard also authorizes banks to make use of this additional period, so that the charge-offs that they must currently carry out at 12 months is carried out in installments, at least a proportion of the value of the property must be charge-off, equivalent to the relationship between the number of months elapsed from the date of receipt and the number of months between that date and that the bank sets for its disposal under the additional term granted.

 

The Bank used the additional term for those assets that meet the requirements required for the application of this standard, not generating a material impact on the results of the period.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

Circular No. 2,248. Equity for legal and regulatory purposes. Treatment of guarantees in favor of third parties in bilateral compensation agreements.

 

Regarding the minimum ratios that effective equity must meet with respect to its risk-weighted assets defined in Chapter 12-1 of the Actualized Standards Compilation (“RAN”), dated March 30, 2020, the CMF issued instructions for the treatment of Guarantees constituted in favor of third parties for bilateral compensation contracts, allowing banks may deduct from them, the net fair value of negative offset positions, to determine the asset subject to risk weighting, to the extent that certain conditions relating to the legal basis that protects them and the controls that they maintain over them are met.

 

These instructions are consistent with the rules of the Basel III Framework, regarding the determination of the net exposures of assets and liabilities covered by legally recognized compensation contracts in the jurisdictions to which the parties are entitled.

 

The new rules were implemented at the end of March 2020, without generating a significant impact on the indicators of capital adequacy.

 

Circular No. 2,250. Equity for legal and regulatory purposes. It allows adding to the additional provisions a proportion of the State guarantees.

 

In response to the situation faced by financial markets and audited entities as a result of the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 20 the CMF published Circular No. 2,250, through which Banks may add to the additional provisions, within the limit of 1.25%, an amount of up to 15% of the guarantees that cover the risk-weighted assets, the guarantees that correspond to endorsements or refinancing granted by the Chilean Treasury, CORFO and FOGAPE.

 

The new rules were implemented at the end of April 2020, without generating a significant impact on the indicators of capital adequacy on the date of implementation; however, this standard was modified by Circular No. 2,265 dated August 21, 2020.

 

Circular No. 2,252. Aspects related to the Guarantee Lines COVID-19 of the Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium Entrepreneurs (“FOGAPE”), regarding provisions and other matters.

 

On April 30, 2020, the CMF published this circular that regulates aspects related to the FOGAPE Guarantee Lines COVID-19, addressing the following matters:

 

1) Exceptional measures for the treatment of loan provisions in installments of the commercial portfolio;

2) The classification of the debtors and the calculation of the default;

3) The establishment of procedures to control the eligibility conditions of the debtors;

4) The destination of the financing and;

5) Sending periodic information to the CMF incorporating news regulatory files.

 

These modifications are valid until October 31, 2021.

Circular No. 2,257. It allows the recognition of the mortgage guarantee surplus for the housing in the standard provisions model as a risk mitigator of the groupal commercial portfolio.

 

On May 22, 2020, the CMF published Circular No. 2,257 which introduces modifications to Chapter B-1 “Provisions for credit risk” of the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks.

 

Due to the effects that the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will have on banking activity and credit risk, the modification allowed the recognition of the mortgage guarantee surplus associated with mortgage loans in the standard model as a mitigator in the standard provisioning model for the groupal commercial portfolio. This is a temporary relaxation, once the new Basel III capital framework has been implemented, the standard provisions models will be reviewed to make them consistent with those used to calculate credit risk-weighted assets.

 

The application of this modification did not generate a material impact on the results of the period.

 

Circular No. 2,265. Modifies RAN chapter 12-1 (APR of bank loans guaranteed by the Chilean Treasury, CORFO and FOGAPE).

 

On August 21, 2020, the CMF modified chapter 12-1 of the updated compilation of standards (RAN) that corresponds to the Equity for legal and regulatory purposes, with this new treatment, they are incorporated into category 2 of the classification of risk-weighted assets, the amounts of the credits that are guaranteed by the Chilean Treasury, CORFO and FOGAPE, which consequently go from having a weighting for credit risk of 100% to 10%. Consequently, the regulations in circular 2,250 dated April 20 were modified.

 

The adoption of this standard meant an increase in the solvency ratio of approximately 0.4%.

 

Circular No. 2,267. Factoring operations.

 

On August 31, 2020, the CMF published Circular 2,267, in which it gives instructions regarding the discount of invoices by banks and their factoring subsidiaries, which is currently limited to the assignment of credits originated in the sales of goods or provision of non-financial services, carried out by the natural or legal persons with whom the factoring operation is agreed, or on behalf of whose buyers the payment commitment is assumed, the CMF resolved to allow the discount of invoices from assignees other than their originator , given the safeguards provided by Law No. 19,983 in force today.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries have no impact on the implementation of this standard since they have not carried out factoring operations by discounting invoices from assignees other than the originator.

Other instructions issued by the CMF – Management Letters.

 

On April 2, 2020, in the context of the circumstances facing the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in order to facilitate the implementation by banks of payment flexibilities for its debtors, the CMF by Management Letter temporarily authorized and under certain conditions, exceptional measures to the treatment of the provisions of the credit operations for the credit portfolios evaluated as a group (mortgage, commercial and consumer) that were subject to rescheduling.

 

The validity of the exceptional period for the treatment of provisions for group portfolios begins on March 18, 2020 and ends on July 31, 2020, both dates inclusive. As a necessary condition to use the relaxations in provisions, the banks must fully evaluate the financial and credit condition of the debtors who will be eligible for the granting of the relaxations conditions. In no case may the treatment include debtors in default in accordance with the provisions regulations. Additionally, the debtors eligible for the special treatment of provisions were those that are up to date or had a default of no more than 30 days in the month in which the rescheduling is performed, during the period of validity.

 

The exceptional treatment allowed entities to maintain the associated provisions in the standard provision matrix that corresponded to the time of rescheduling. On the other hand, in the case of consumer portfolios, the parameters of Expected Credit Loss (PI and PDI) could be maintained, in accordance with the specific provisions models used by each institution.

 

In this same area, on July 31, 2020, the CMF extended the transitional measures indicated above until August 31, 2020. The special treatment for the calculation of provisions was extended to the extent that certain conditions will be observed, such as: i) evaluation of the financial and credit situation of eligible debtors, ii) debtors up-to-date in the payment of their obligations or with a default no more than 30 days in the month in which the rescheduling is carried out, iii) a maximum extension period of 3 months for mortgage and commercial loans, iv) in the case of loans with prior rescheduling, the total sum of the extension period cannot exceed 6 months.

 

On July 17, 2020, the CMF instructed through a Management Letter how institutions should calculate and implement the calculation of provisions for COVID -19 loans, and the conditions under which they are can substitute the credit risk of the direct debtor for the credit quality of the FOGAPE. Said instructions established as a maximum term the end of the year 2020, to constitute all the provisions for this concept. In this context, Banco de Chile recognized the total effect of these provisions at the end of September, recording an accumulated charge to income for the period for Ch$57,866 million before taxes, of which Ch$27,700 million corresponded to the effect of constitution of provisions for deductible.

Other regulations adopted.

 

Law 21,167

 

On January 1, 2020, Law 21,167 entered into force, which regulates the forms of payment of the lines of credit associated with bank current accounts. This law established the automatic payment of the overdraft line associated with the current account, which operates by default, unless the client instructs his bank to operate a different payment method that is more comfortable for them.

 

The implementation of this new law generates a decrease in interest earned and loan volumes.

 

Law 21,210

 

On February 24, 2020, Law 21,210 was published in the Official Journal, which modernizes the tax legislation, incorporating modifications to different legal texts, mainly the Tax Code, the Law on Income Tax and the Law on Sales and Services Tax (VAT).

 

In relation to the tax regime of income tax, the regime with partial credit imputation is maintained.

 

In terms of expenses necessary to produce the income of companies, a new definition is established, linking it to the interest, development or maintenance of the business, of the sole tax established in article 21 of the Income Law.

 

In relation to the VAT Law, one of the relevant changes corresponded to the incorporation of certain services related to entertainment, intermediation, software and other items that are carried out through digital platforms.

 

Another relevant modification refers to the land tax surcharge incorporated in Law 17,235, which taxes all the real estate that is registered in the taxpayer’s name, incorporating the real estate delivered in leasing with purchase option (Leasing).

 

The implementation of these legal changes will not have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

Law 21,234

 

On May 29, 2020, Law 21,234 was published in the Official Journal, effective as of the same date, which modifies and replaces Law 20,009, limiting the liability of payment card holders or users and electronic transactions in the event of loss, theft, robbery or fraud.

 

This new law applies to users or holders of “Payment Methods” defined as all payment cards (debit, credit and pre-payment cards), whether or not they are issued by entities subject to the supervision of the CMF and electronic transactions, giving it a fairly broad definition, which includes any operations carried out by electronic means that cause charges, credits or money orders in different types of account.

 

Users or holders of Payment Methods are obliged to send a notice to the respective issuer, as soon as they become aware of a loss, theft, robbery or fraud that affects their payment methods. Immediately after receiving this notice, the issuer must proceed to block it.

 

In the case of operations subsequent to the notice, the user or owner will be exempt from liability, and the respective issuer must answer for them.

 

For operations prior to the notice, the user or owner will have a period of 30 business days following the notice, to claim them, being able to refer to operations carried out up to 120 calendar days prior to the date of the notice.

 

The burden of proof for operations that the user does not know to have authorized will always fall on the issuer, who is also prevented from offering users the purchase of insurance whose coverage corresponds to risks or claims that the issuer must assume in accordance with this law.

 

The implementation of this new law does not have significant impacts on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Law 21,236

 

On June 3, 2020 Law 21,236 was published that regulates Financial Portability, which aims to facilitate people, micro and small businesses to change from one financial service provider to another, or from a financial product or service valid to another new one contracted with the same provider, for deeming it convenient.

 

This new law came into force on September 8, 2020. Banco Chile and its subsidiaries implemented the necessary measures to comply with the portability law.

3.1.2 New standards and interpretations that have been issued but its date of application have not yet come into force:

 

The following is a summary of new standards, interpretations and improvements to the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by IASB that are not yet effective as of September 30, 2020, are detailed below:

 

Accounting standards issued by IASB.

 

IAS 28 — Investments in Associates and Joint Venture, and IFRS 10 — Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In September 2014, the IASB published this modification, which clarifies the scope of the profits and losses recognized in a transaction that involves an associate or joint venture, and that this depends on whether the asset sold or contribution constitutes a business. Therefore, the IASB concluded that all gains or losses should be recognized against loss of control of a business. Likewise, the gains or losses that result from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business (definition of IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture should be recognized only to the extent of unrelated interests in the associate or joint venture.

 

During December 2015, the IASB agreed to set the effective date of this modification in the future, allowing its immediate application.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will have no impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the application of this amendment.

 

Limited Scope Amendments and Annual Improvements 2018-2020.

 

In May 2020, the IASB published a package of amendments of limited scope, as well as the 2018-2020 Annual Improvements, whose changes clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, omissions or conflicts between the requirements of the Standards.

 

Among other modifications, it contains amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets which specify the costs that an entity should include when evaluating whether a contract will cause losses.

 

These amendments will be effective as of January 1, 2022 and it is estimated that Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will not have significant impacts on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the application of these amendments.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 Leases. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform.

 

In August 2020, the IASB issued a set of amendments related to phase two of the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform which modifies IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16.

 

The amendments complement the changes issued during 2019 and focus on the effects on the financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate. The amendments in phase two refer to changes that affect the contractual cash flows. A company does not need to write off / adjust the book value of financial instruments for changes, but rather update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to an alternative benchmark. In the case of hedge accounting, a company does not need to discontinue hedge accounting because it makes the changes required by the reform if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria. Regarding disclosures, the company must disclose information about the new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to the alternative benchmark rates.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Early adoption of modifications is also allowed.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will evaluate the impact on the Financial Statements resulting from the application of this amendment.

 

Accounting standards issued by the CMF.

On December 20, 2019, the CMF published Circular No. 2,243, which updates the instructions of the Accounting Standards Compendium (CNC) for Banks.

 

The changes tend to further convergence with IFRS, as well as an improvement in the quality of financial information, to contribute to the financial stability and transparency of the banking system.

 

The main changes introduced to the CNC correspond to:

 

1)Incorporation of IFRS 9 with the exception of the Chapter 5.5 on impairment of loans classified as “financial assets at amortized cost”. This exception is mainly due to prudential criteria set by the CMF. These criteria have given rise, over time, to the establishment of standard models that the banking institutions must apply to determine the impairment of the loan portfolio (Chapter B-1 of the CNC, for provisions).

 

2)Changes in the presentation formats of the Statement of Financial Position and Income Statement, when adopting IFRS 9 in replacement of IAS 39.

 

3)Incorporation of new presentation formats for the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Changes in Equity and guidelines on financing and investment activities for the Statement of Cash Flows.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

4)Incorporation of a financial report “Management Comments” (according to the IASB Practice Document No. 1), which will complement the information provided by the interim and annual financial statements.

 

5)Modifications of some notes of the financial statements, among which are: Financial assets at amortized cost and Risk management, in order to better comply with the disclosure criteria contained in the IFRS 7. In addition, disclosures about related parties are aligned according to IAS 24.

 

6)Changes in the accounting plan of Chapter C-3 of the CNC, both in the accounts coding as well as in their description. The foregoing corresponds to the detailed information of the formats for the Statement of Financial Position, the Income Statement and the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income.

 

7)Modification of the criteria for the suspension of the recognition of interest income and UF indexation on an accrual basis, for any credit with a default equal to or greater than 90 days (Chapter B-2 of the CNC). Currently, the suspension of the recognition of interests and UF indexation occurs after 180 days.

 

8)Adaptation of the limitations and precisions to the use of IFRS contained in Chapter A-2 of the CNC.

 

In accordance with that established under the Circular No. 2,249 dated April 20, 2020, the new standard will be applicable from January 1, 2022, with a transition date of January 1, 2021, for purposes of the comparative Financial Statements that must be published from March 2022.

 

Nevertheless, the change in criteria for the suspension of the recognition of interest income and UF indexation on an accrual basis as provided in Chapter B-2, shall be adopted no later than January 1, 2022.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries have structured an implementation project and have established various Committees to ensure its implementation. All this in order to comply with the new standards required for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements. The effects of applying the rule of suspension of interest and UF indexation at 90 days will not have a significant impact.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

Standards related to the implementation of Basel III.

 

During 2019, the CMF began the regulatory process for the implementation of Basel III standards in Chile, in accordance with the established on Law No. 21,130 that modernizes banking legislation.

 

On March 30, 2020, the CMF informs that, in coordination with the Central Bank of Chile, it has resolved to postpone the implementation of the Basel III requirements for one year and maintain the general regulatory framework in force for banking capital requirements until December 2021.

 

As of the date of issuance of these Interim Financial Statements, the following definitive standards related to this implementation have been published:

 

Circular 2,270 dated September 11, 2020. Updates Chapter 1-13 “Classification of management and solvency” and introduces to the RAN a new Chapter 21-13 “Evaluation of the adequacy of effective equity of banks”. This standard sets the general criteria and guidelines for the determination of additional equity requirements as a result of the supervision process, called Pillar 2. The new chapter 21-13, which distinguishes 2 processes (1) The capital self-assessment process, in which the banks themselves will determine their internal objective of effective equity, necessary to cover their risks in a horizon of at least three years and (2) The CMF’s assessment of the adequacy of banks’ effective equity to support their risk profile, as determined in the annual supervisory review process. This regulation will be effective immediately. The effective equity self-assessment report to be submitted by banks in 2021 will be based only on credit risk, and the one for 2022 will incorporate market and operational risks. Both reports will have a simplified format. As of 2023, the report with all its sections will be required, considering all the material risks of the institution, including those for which there is no measurement standard.

 

Circular 2,272 dated September 25, 2020, incorporates Chapter 21-12 “Additional basic capital, articles 66 bis and 66 ter of the general banking law” into the RAN. This standard defines the operating procedures for the calculation, implementation and supervision of additional capital charges, known as capital buffers (Conservation Buffer and a Countercyclical Buffer). Both buffers must be constituted with Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), and its fulfillment will be a requirement to qualify with note A of solvency.

 

The Conservation Buffer is a fixed charge equal to 2.5% of the APR net of required provisions. The Cyclical Buffer is a variable charge that ranges between 0% and 2.5% of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) net of required provisions.

 

This standard will be effective as of December 1, 2020. As of December 1, 2021, the requirement of the Conservation Buffer will be 0.625%, increasing by the same percentage each year, until reaching the regime on December 1, 2024. The same transitory requirement will apply to the maximum value of the Countercyclical Buffer that can be defined by the Chile Central Bank.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

Circular No. 2,273 dated October 5, 2020, incorporates Chapter 21-30 “Relationship between basic capital and total assets” in the RAN. This standard regulates the calculation of the relationship between basic capital and total assets (leverage ratio). The standard introduces improvements both in the measurement of basic capital (numerator) and of the bank’s total assets (denominator). The lower limit of 3% for the leverage ratio was introduced in Chilean banking regulation in the 1997 LGB reform (Article 66). The regulation will be effective as of December 1, 2020, without prejudice to the transitory measures for the calculation of regulatory capital, contemplated in Title V of Chapter 21-1 “Equity for legal and regulatory purposes”, on equity for legal purposes and regulations of the RAN, and the transitory measures for the additional capital requirement for systemically important banks, established in paragraph 7 of Chapter 21-11 of the RAN.

 

Circular No. 2,274 dated October 8, 2020, incorporates Chapter 21-1 “Equity for legal and regulatory purposes” into the RAN, replacing Chapter 12-1 “Equity for legal and regulatory purposes”. The standard considers the definition of three levels of capital, for which the terminology used by the Basel Committee is used, that is: Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), Additional Tier 1 Capital (“AT1”, capital) and Tier 2 capital. The standard will be effective as of December 1, 2020, without prejudice to the transitory measures that it contemplates. The first adjustment must be made on December 1, 2022, corresponding to 15% of the discounts. This amount will increase to 30% on December 1, 2023 and 65% on December 1, 2024, until reaching full implementation as of December 1, 2025.

 

4.Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures:

 

In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. The greater uncertainty associated with the effects of this pandemic introduces greater complexity in the development of reliable estimates.

 

By virtue of the foregoing, during the period ended September 30, the Bank's Management has reviewed the relevant estimates and assumptions related to the credit risk provision models of the group portfolio, performing a recalibration of the probability of Default, giving a greater weight to recessive periods in accordance with the guidelines that the regulator has defined for these purposes, in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates, the impact of this change in the estimate meant a charge to income for the period for Ch$71,051 million before taxes.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2020, there have been no accounting changes other than the one mentioned above.

5.Relevant Events, continued:

 

i)During March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) described the outbreak of the new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. The global spread of this disease has forced the authorities to take drastic sanitary and financial measures to contain and mitigate its effects on global health and economic activity.

 

On this basis, on March 18, 2020 the Government decreed a Constitutional State of Exception defined as State of Catastrophe due to “State of Public Calamity” for the entire national territory, as well as has adopted various sanitary measures such as isolation or quarantine of general populations, localities and people determined; sanitary cords; sanitary customs and other protection measures.

 

For their part, the Government and the Central Bank of Chile have implemented a set of fiscal and financial measures aimed to mitigate COVID-19’s impact on the economy, and to ensure the proper functioning of the financial system. Among the measures implemented by the Central Bank to deliver liquidity to the economy and support the flow of credit, are the establishment of the Conditional Credit Facility to Increase Placements (FCIC by its Spanish initials), as a special financial line for banking companies complemented by the activation of a “Liquidity Credit Line” (LCL) for which a limit equivalent to the Average Reserve Requirement in national currency of each entity is defined. The FCIC is available to banking companies that have commercial and consumer loans, subject to the granting by them of sufficient collateral guarantees in favor of the Central Bank. The limit for the FCIC line is up to 15% of the base portfolio (sum of commercial and consumer loans), which was expanded with the establishment of a second program announced during the month of June called FCIC2 with similar financial conditions to the first, aimed at deepening and extending commercial credit to respond to the prolongation of the health emergency caused by COVID-19. As of September 30, the Bank has made use of these financing facilities for an amount of Ch$3,110,774 million. To access the FCIC, the Bank has established guarantees in favor of the Central Bank of Chile for a total amount of approximately Ch$2,243,170 million, corresponding to commercial loans of the individual portfolio of high credit quality for Ch$1,649,890 million, and fixed income securities for an approximate amount of Ch$593,280 million. In the case of the LCL, the guarantee provided corresponds to the legal banking reserve held by the Bank.

 

As of March, the Bank proactively offered its clients that, complying with the parameters and commercial and credit risk conditions previously defined by the Bank itself, including having maintained a good payment behavior prior to the current situation, the possibility of opting for financial relief plans, in response to the extraordinary prevailing economic and financial situation. For its part, the CMF subsequently adopted measures tending to temporary flexibility for the treatment of provisions for credit risk of group portfolios for the period between March 18, 2020 and July 31, 2020. This exceptional treatment allowed the operations granted as part of the relief plan in the payment of installments to certain clients who met the eligibility requirements determined by the Bank, to maintain the associated allowances in the standard matrix (mortgage and commercial) that corresponds at the time of reprogramming. In the case of consumer portfolios, the Expected Credit Loss parameters may be maintained, in accordance with the internal provisions models used.

 

On July 31, the CMF resolved to extend until August 31, 2020 the special treatment of provisions for credit risk of the group portfolios mentioned above, as long as the following conditions were observed: i) evaluation of the financial and credit situation of the debtors, ii) debtors up-to-date in the payment of their obligations or with a default no more than 30 days in the month in which the rescheduling is carried out, iii) a maximum extension period of 3 months for mortgage and commercial loans, iv) in the case of loans with prior rescheduling, the total sum of the extension period cannot exceed 6 months.

5.Relevant Events, continued:

 

During April 2020, the Guarantee Fund for Small Entrepreneurs (FOGAPE), announced the increase of its capital by up to US$3,000 million, in order to guarantee financing of up to US$25,000 million. The objective of this initiative has been to facilitate access to working capital loans for individuals and legal entities with annual sales of less than UF 1,000,000 affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The guarantee coverage of these loans - differentiated according to sales tranche - is between 60% and 85% of financing, after applying a deductible that may not exceed 5% of the guaranteed amount. From the beginning of the program and until September 30, 2020, the Bank has carried out 37,114 operations for an aggregate amount of Ch$1,800,137 million. For such purposes, the Bank established the parameters, requirements, and conditions, in addition to those provided in the respective Fogape COVID-19 regulations, to resolve the requests made to it, and the financing amounts that would be granted based on the above, taking into consideration, among other aspects, the levels of sale and the circumstance indicated below. Additionally, the Administration Regulation applicable to the COVID-19 guarantee lines considers the option of refinancing any principal amortization of preexisting commercial loans that mature in the 6 months following the moment of granting the financing with the COVID-19 Guarantee.

 

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank has granted credit facilities to its clients under the conditions and requirements mentioned above for an approximate amount of Ch$619,505 million.

 

Within this context, our Bank has carried out several measures, along with executing contingency plans, in order to: (i) safeguard the health of clients and employees, including the temporary suspension of operation of some branches, (ii) ensure the operational continuity of our services and mitigate potential operational risks, and (iii) strengthen our service remote channels and the implementation of remote working for a large group of our employees.

 

While the potential impact of the pandemic on our operating results remains is difficult to quantify, it is possible to anticipate that factors such as: (i) economic contraction, (ii) low interest rates for a long period of time, (iii) deflationary pressures owed to lowered domestic demand, (iv) increased unemployment, (v) total or partial quarantines affecting commercial activities, and (vi) mobility restrictions that will have an adverse effect on our operating revenues, loan loss provisions and operating expenses. Although these effects will be significant, it is not possible to determine their magnitude since they will depend on the duration and depth of the pandemic.

 

As a result of the prospective analysis of the economic and financial effects associated with the spread of COVID-19, both domestically and internationally, the Bank proceeded to recalibrate its provision models for the group assessment portfolios in September in a manner consistent with the evolution of economic activity. Said recalibration generated an impact on the results of the period for Ch$71,051 million before tax as indicated in Note No. 4. Additionally, in accordance with current policy on the matter, the Bank has established additional incremental provisions for Ch$27,000 million during this fiscal year, thus totaling Ch$240,252 million as of September 30, 2020.

6.Business Segments, continued:

 

The financial information used to measure the performance of the Bank’s business segments is not comparable with similar information from other financial institutions because each institution relies on its own definitions. The accounting policies applied to the segments is the same as those described in the summary of accounting principles. The Bank obtains the majority of the results for: interest, indexation and commissions and financial operations and changes, discounting provisions for credit risk and operating expenses. Management is mainly based on these concepts to evaluate the performance of the segments and make decisions about the goals and allocations of resources of each unit. Although the results of the segments reconcile with those of the Bank at the total level, this is not necessarily the case in terms of the different concepts, given that management is measured and controlled individually and not on a consolidated basis, applying the following criteria:

 

The net interest margin of loans and deposits is obtained aggregating the net financial margins of each individual operation of credit and uptake made by the bank. For these purposes, the volume of each operation and its contribution margin are considered, which in turn corresponds to the difference between the effective rate of the customer and the internal transfer price established according to the term and currency of each operation. Additionally, the net margin includes the result of interest and indexation from the accounting hedges.

 

The capital and its financial impacts on outcome have been assigned to each segment based on the risk-weighted assets.

 

Operational expenses are reflected at the level of the different functional areas of the Bank. The allocation of expenses from functional areas to business segments is done using different allocation criteria, at the level of the different concepts and expense items.

 

Taxes are managed at a corporate level and are not allocated to business segments.

 

For the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no income from transactions with a customer or counterparty that accounted for 10% or more of the Bank’s total revenues.

10.Derivative Instruments and Accounting Hedges, continued:

 

(b)Fair value Hedges:

 

The Bank uses cross-currency swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged elements attributable to interest rates in financial instruments or loans. The aforementioned hedge instruments change the effective cost of long-term assets from a fixed interest rate to a floating rate, decreasing the duration and modifying the sensitivity to the shortest segments of the curve.

 

Below is a detail of the hedged elements and instruments under fair value hedges as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

 

   September   December 
   2020   2019 
   MCh$   MCh$

Commercial loans   6,625    8,166 
Corporate bonds   47,647    86,317 
           
Hedge instrument          
Cross currency swap   6,625    8,166 
Interest rate swap   47,647    86,317 

 

(c)Cash flow Hedges:

 

(c.1)The Bank uses cross currency swaps to hedge the risk from variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rates and foreign exchange of foreign banks obligations and bonds issued abroad in US Dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yens, Peruvian Sol, Australian Dollars, Euros and Norwegian kroner. The cash flows of the cross currency swaps equal the cash flows of the hedged items, which modify uncertain cash flows to known cash flows derived from a fixed interest rate.

 

Additionally, these cross currency swap contracts used to hedge the risk from variability of the Unidad de Fomento (“CLF”) in assets flows denominated in CLF until a nominal amount equal to the portion notional of the hedging instrument CLF, whose readjustment daily impact the item “Interest Revenue” of the Income Financial Statements.

(c)Cash flow Hedges, continued:

 

With respect to CLF assets hedged; these are revalued monthly according to the variation of the UF, which is equivalent to monthly reinvest the assets until maturity of the relationship hedging.

 

(c.3)The unrealized results generated during the period 2020 by those derivative contracts that conform the hedging instruments in this cash flow hedging strategy, have been recorded with charge to equity amounting to Ch$17,075 million (charge to equity of Ch$82,385 million in September 30, 2019). The net effect of taxes charge to equity amounts to Ch$12,465 million (net charge to equity of Ch$60,141 million equity during the period September 2019).

 

The accumulated balance for this concept as of September 30, 2020 corresponds to a charge in equity amounted to Ch$98,115 million (charge to equity of Ch$81,040 million as of December 2019).

 

(c.4)The effect of the cash flow hedging derivatives that offset the result of the hedged instruments corresponds to a credit to income of Ch$67,572 million during the period 2020 (credit to results for Ch$27,685 million during the September 2019 period).

 

(c.5)As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, it not exist inefficiency in cash flow hedge, because both, hedge item and hedge instruments, are mirrors of each other, it means that all variation of value attributable to rate and revaluation components are netted totally.

 

(c.6)As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Bank does not have hedges of net investments in foreign business.

(c)Provision for minimum dividends:

 

The Board of Directors of Banco de Chile agreed for the purposes of minimum dividends, to establish a provision of 60% of the net income resulting from reducing or adding to the net income for the corresponding period, the value effect of the monetary unit of paid capital and reserves, as a result of any change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) between the month prior to the current month and the month of November of the previous year. The amount to be reduced of the liquid income for the period ended as of September 30, 2020 amounted to Ch$53,572 million.

 

As indicated, as of September 30, 2020, the amount of the net income determined in accordance with the preceding paragraph is equivalent to Ch$283,251 million (Ch$500,768 million as of December 31, 2019). Consequently, the Bank recorded a provision for minimum dividends under “Provisions” as of September 30, for an amount of Ch$169,951 million (Ch$300,461 million in December 2019), which reflects as a counterpart an equity reduction for the same amount in the item “Retained earnings”.

 

(d)Earnings per share:

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income attributable to the Bank ordinary equity holders in a period between the weighted average number of shares outstanding during that period, excluding the average number of own shares held throughout the period.

 

(ii)Diluted earnings per share:

 

In order to calculate the diluted earnings per share, both the amount of income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding, net of own shares, must be adjusted for all the inherent dilutive effects to the potential common shares (stock options, warrants and convertible debt).

The income tax effect presented a credit to equity of Ch$4,610 million (credit of Ch$22,244 million in September 2019).

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries have defined a corporate framework for valuation and control related with the process to the fair value measurement.

 

Within the established framework includes the Product Control Unit, which is independent of the business areas and reports to the Financial Management and Control Division Manager. This function befall to the Financial Control and Treasury Manager, through the Financial Risk Information and Control Section, is responsible for independent verification of price and results of trading (including derivatives) and investment operations and all fair value measurements.

 

To achieve the appropriate measurements and controls, the Bank and its subsidiaries, take into account at least the following aspects:

 

(i)Industry standard valuation.

 

To value financial instruments, Banco de Chile uses industry standard modeling; quota value, share price, discounted cash flows and valuation of options through Black-Scholes-Merton, according to the case. The input parameters for the valuation correspond to rates, prices and levels of volatility for different terms and market factors that are traded in the national and international market and that are provided by the main sources of the market.

 

(ii)Quoted prices in active markets.

 

The fair value for instruments with quoted prices in active markets is determined using daily quotes from electronic systems information (such as Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bloomberg, LVA and Risk America, etc). This quote represents the price at which these instruments are regularly traded in the financial markets.

 

(iii)Valuation techniques.

 

If no specific quotes are available for the instrument to be valued, valuation techniques will be used to determine the fair value.

 

Due to, in general, the valuation models require a set of market parameters as inputs, the aim is to maximize information based on observable or price-related quotations for similar instruments in active markets. To the extent there is no information in direct from the markets, data from external suppliers of information, prices of similar instruments and historical information are used to validate the valuation parameters.

 

96

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

(Free translation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)

   

 

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(iv)Fair value adjustments.

 

Part of the fair value process considers three adjustments to the market value, calculated based on the market parameters, including; a liquidity adjustment, a Bid/Offer adjustment and an adjustment is made for credit risk of derivatives (CVA and DVA). The calculation of the liquidity adjustment considers the size of the position in each factor, the particular liquidity of each factor, the relative size of Banco de Chile with respect to the market, and the liquidity observed in transactions recently carried out in the market. In turn, the Bid/Offer adjustment, represents the impact on the valuation of an instrument depending on whether the position corresponds to a long (bought) or a short (sold).To calculate this adjustment is used the direct quotes from active markets or indicative prices or derivatives of similar assets depending on the instrument, considering the Bid, Mid and Offer, respectively. Finally, the adjustment made for CVA and DVA for derivatives corresponds to the credit risk recognition of the issuer, either of the counterparty (CVA) or of Banco de Chile (DVA).

 

Liquidity value adjustments are made to trading instruments (including derivatives) only, while Bid / Offer adjustments are made for trading instruments and available for sale. Adjustments for CVA / DVA are carried out only for derivatives.

 

(v)Fair value control.

 

A process of independent verification of prices and rates is executed daily, in order to control that the market parameters used by Banco de Chile in the valuation of the financial instruments relating to the current state of the market and from them the best estimate derived of the fair value. The objective of this process is to control that the official market parameters provided by the respective business area, before being entered into the valuation, are within acceptable ranges of differences when compared to the same set of parameters prepared independently by the Financial Risk Information and Control Section. As a result, value differences are obtained at the level of currency, product and portfolio. In the event significant differences exist, these differences are scaled according to the amount of individual materiality of each market factor and aggregated at the portfolio level, according to the grouping levels within previously defined ranges. These ranges are approved by the Finance, International and Financial Risk Committee.

 

Complementary and in parallel, the Financial Risk Information and Control Section generates and reports on a daily basis Profit and Loss (“P&L”) and Exposure to Market Risks, which allow for proper control and consistency of the parameters used in the valuation.

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(vi)Judgmental analysis and information to Management.

 

In particular cases, where there are no market quotations for the instrument to be valued and there are no prices for similar transactions instruments or indicative parameters, a specific control and a reasoned analysis must be carried out in order to estimate the fair value of the operation. Within the valuation framework described in the Reasonable Value Policy (and its procedure) approved by the Board of Directors of Banco de Chile, a required level of approval is set in order to carry out transactions where market information is not available or it is not possible to infer prices or rates from it.

 

(a)Hierarchy of instrument valued at Fair value:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries, classify all the financial instruments among the following levels:

 

Level 1:These are financial instruments whose fair value is calculated at quoted prices (unadjusted) in extracted from liquid and deep markets. For these instruments there are quotes or prices (return internal rates, quote value, price) the observable market, so that assumptions are not required to determine the value.

 

In this level, the following instruments are considered: currency futures, debt instruments issued Chilean Central Bank and Treasury, which belong to benchmarks, mutual fund investments and equity shares.

 

For the instruments of the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic, all those mnemonics belonging to a Benchmark, in other words corresponding to one of the following categories published by the Santiago Stock Exchange, will be considered as Level 1: Pesos-02, Pesos-03, Pesos-04, Pesos-05, Pesos-07, Pesos-10, UF-02, UF-04, UF-05, UF-07, UF-10, UF-20, UF-30. A Benchmark corresponds to a group of mnemonics that are similar in duration and are traded in an equivalent way, i.e., the price (return internal rates in this case) obtained is the same for all the instruments that make up a Benchmark. This feature defines a greater depth of market, with daily quotations that allow classifying these instruments as Level 1.

 

In the case of debt issued by the Government, the internal rate of return of the market is used to discount all flows to present value. In the case of mutual funds and equity shares, the current market price per share, which multiplied by the number of instruments results in the fair value.

 

The preceding described valuation methodology is equivalent to the one used by the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange) and correspond to the standard methodology used in the market.

 

98

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

(Free translation of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements originally issued in Spanish)

   

 

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

Level 2:They are financial instruments whose fair value is calculated based on prices other than in quoted in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly (that is, as prices or internal rates of return) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices or internal rates of return from similar instruments). These categories include:

 

a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
c)Inputs data other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
d)Inputs data corroborated by the market.

 

At this level there are mainly derivatives instruments, debt issued by banks, debt issues of Chilean and foreign companies, issued in Chile or abroad, mortgage claims, financial brokerage instruments and some issuances by the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic, which do not belong to benchmarks.

 

To value derivatives, depends on whether they are impacted by volatility as a relevant market factor in standard valuation methodologies; for options the Black-Scholes-Merton formula is used; for the rest of the derivatives, forwards and swaps, discounted cash flows method is used.

 

For the remaining instruments at this level, as for debt issues of level 1, the valuation is done through cash flows model by using an internal rate of return that can be derived or estimated from internal rates of return of similar securities as mentioned above.

 

In the event that there is no observable price for an instrument in a specific term, the price will be inferred from the interpolation between periods that have observable quoted price in active markets. These models incorporate various market variables, including the credit quality of counterparties, exchange rates and interest rate curves.

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

Level 3:These are financial instruments whose fair value is determined using non-observable inputs data neither for the assets or liabilities under analysis nor for similar instruments. An adjustment to an input that is significant to the entire measurement can result in a fair value measurement classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if the adjustment uses significant non-observable data entry.

 

The instruments likely to be classified as level 3 are mainly Corporate Debt by Chilean and foreign companies, issued both in Chile and abroad.

  Since inputs for these types of securities are not observable by the market, we model interest rate of returns for them based on a Base Yield (Central Bank Bonds) and issuer spread. These inputs (base yield and issuer spread) are provided on a daily basis by third party price providers that are widely used in the Chilean market.
         
Offshore Bank and Corporate Bonds  

Discounted cash

With the purpose to determine the sensitivity of the financial investments to changes in significant market factors, the Bank has made alternative calculations at fair value, changing those key parameters for the valuation and which are not directly observable in screens. In the case of the financial assets listed in the table above, which correspond to Bank Bonds and Corporate Bonds, it was considered that, since there are no current observables prices, the input prices will be based on brokers’ quotes. The prices are usually calculated as a base rate plus a spread. For Local Bonds it was determined to apply a 10% impact on the price, while for the Off Shore Bonds (associated with national issuers as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020) it was determined to apply a 10% impact only on the spread, since the base rate is covered by interest rate swaps instruments in the so-called accounting hedges. The 10% impact is considered a reasonable move taking into account the market performance of these instruments and comparing it against the bid / offer adjustment that is provisioned by these instruments.

Other financial assets and liabilities not measured at their fair value, but for which a fair value is estimated, even if not managed based on such value, include assets and liabilities such as placements, deposits and other time deposits, debt issued, and other financial assets and obligations with different maturities and characteristics. The fair value of these assets and liabilities is calculated using the Discounted Cash Flow model and the use of various data sources such as yield curves, credit risk spreads, etc. In addition, due to some of these assets and liabilities are not traded on the market, periodic reviews and analyzes are required to determine the suitability of the inputs and determined fair values.

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(f)Levels of other assets and liabilities, continued:

 

The Bank determines the fair value of these assets and liabilities according to the following:

 

Short-term assets and liabilities: For assets and liabilities with short-term maturity, it is assumed that the book values approximate to their fair value. This assumption is applied to the following assets and liabilities:

 

Assets:   Liabilities:
     
-    Cash and deposits in banks   -    Current accounts and other demand deposits
-    Transactions in the course of collection   -    Transactions in the course of payments
-    Investments under resale agreements   -    Obligations under repurchase agreements
-    Loans and advance to domestic banks    

 

Loans to Customers and Advance to foreign banks: Fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow model and internally generated discount rates, based on internal transfer rates derived from our internal transfer price process. Once the present value is determined, we deduct the related loan loss allowances in order to incorporate the credit risk associated with each contract or loan. As we use internally generated parameters for valuation purposes, we categorize these instruments in Level 3.

 

Letters of Credit and Bonds: In order to determine the present value of contractual cash flows, we apply the discounted cash flow model by using market interest rates that are available in the market, either for the instruments under valuation or instruments with similar features that fit valuation needs in terms of currency, maturities and liquidity. The market interest rates are obtained from third party price providers widely used by the market. As a result of the valuation technique and the quality of inputs (observable) used for valuation, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 2.

 

Saving Accounts, Time Deposits, Borrowings from Financial Institutions, Subordinated Bonds and Other borrowings financial: The discounted cash flow model is used to obtain the present value of committed cash flows by applying a bucket approach and average adjusted discount rates that derived from both market rates for instruments with similar features and our internal transfer price process. As we use internally generated parameters and/or apply significant judgmental analysis for valuation purposes, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 3.

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities, continued:

 

(g)Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities:

 

The Bank trades financial derivatives with foreign counterparties using ISDA Master Agreement (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.), under legal jurisdiction of the City of New York – USA or London – United Kingdom. Legal framework in these jurisdictions, along with documentation mentioned, it allows Banco de Chile the right to anticipate the maturity of the transaction and then, offset the net value of those transactions in case of default of counterparty. Additionally, the Bank has negotiated with these counterparties an additional annex (CSA Credit Support Annex), that includes other credit mitigating, such as entering margins on a certain amount of net value of transactions, early termination (optional or mandatory) of transactions at certain dates in the future, coupon adjustment of transaction in exchange for payment of the debtor counterpart over a certain threshold amount, etc.

 

Below are detail the contracts susceptible to offset:
