______________

Banco de Chile is authorized to operate as a commercial bank since September 17, 1996, being, in conformity with the stipulations of article 25 of Law No. 19,396, the legal continuation of Banco de Chile resulting from the merger of the Banco Nacional de Chile, Banco Agrícola and Banco de Valparaiso, which was constituted by public deed dated October 28, 1893, granted before the Notary Public of Santiago, Mr. Eduardo Reyes Lavalle, authorized by Supreme Decree of November 28, 1893.

Banco de Chile (or the “Bank”) is a Corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, regulated by the Chilean Commission for the Financial Market (“CMF”), in accordance with the established in the Law 21,130 dated January 12, 2019, which ordered the integration of the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (“SBIF”) with the Commission for the Financial Market as of June 1, 2019. Since 2001, it is subject to the supervision of the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America (“SEC”), in consideration of the fact that the Bank is registered on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), through a program of American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”).

Banco de Chile offers a broad range of banking services to its customers, ranging from individuals to large corporations. The services are managed in the areas of corporations and large companies, medium and small companies and personal and consumer banking. Additionally, the Bank offers international as well as treasury banking services, in addition to those offered by subsidiaries that include securities brokerage, mutual fund and investment management, insurance brokerage, financial advisory services and securitization.

Banco de Chile’s legal address is Ahumada 251, Santiago, Chile and its website is www.bancochile.cl.

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile, for the period ended June 30, 2019 were approved by the Directors on July 25, 2019.

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 in technical standards issued by the Chilean Association of Accountants, that coincide with international accounting standards and international financial reporting standards 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.

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:

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 June 30, there have been no significant changes in the estimates made.

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 six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not included.

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.

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 assets are subject to a financial leasing, the leased assets are no longer recognized as a fixed asset and are recorded in 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.

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 and are recognized monthly on an accrual basis.

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, on an accrual basis.

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, except lease payments in the short term and those in which the underlying asset is of low value, which are recognized directly in results.

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.

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.

There have not been significant reclassifications at the end of this period 2019.

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 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.

IFRS 16 Leases.

On January 2016 was issued IFRS 16, which has as purpose to establish principles to the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease contracts from the point of view of the lessee and lessor.

This new rule does not differ significantly from IAS 17 Leases that precedes it, related to the accounting treatment for the lessor. However, related to the lessee, the new rule requires the recognition of assets and liabilities for most lease contracts.

The Bank and its subsidiaries, for purposes of the initial application of the standard, took the option to recognize the cumulative effect on the initial adoption date (January 1, 2019), not expressing comparative information, recording an asset for right of use for an amount equal to the lease liability for an amount of Ch$144,529 million. This amount was determined according to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Bank’s incremental financing interest rate.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

In June 2017, the IASB published IFRIC 23, which clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria required by IAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty about tax treatments.

This modification had no impact on the Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IAS 28 Investments in associates and joint ventures.

On October 2017, the IASB published the amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 28 Investments in Associated Entities and Joint Ventures.

The amendments to IFRS 9 allow entities to measure financial assets, prepaid with negative compensation at amortized cost or fair value, through other comprehensive income if a specific condition is met, instead of at fair value with effect on results.

Regarding IAS 28, the amendments clarify that entities must account for long-term results in an associate or joint venture, to which the equity method is not applied, using IFRS 9.

The IASB also released an example that illustrates how companies should apply the requirements of IFRS 9 and IAS 28 to long-term interests in an associated entity or joint venture.

This modification had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

Annual improvements to IFRS.

On December 2017, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle 2015-2017, which includes amendments to the following regulations:

- IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Interests previously held in a joint operation.

The amendment provides additional guidance for applying the procurement method to particular types of business combinations.

The amendment states that when a party to a joint arrangement obtains control of a business, which is a joint arrangement and had rights over the assets and liabilities for the liabilities related to this joint arrangement, immediately before the acquisition date, the transaction it is a business combination achieved in stages.

Therefore, the acquirer will apply the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including re-measuring its previously held interest in the joint operation. By doing so, the acquirer will re-measure its total value that it previously had in the joint operation.

This modification had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

- IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements.

The amendment to IFRS 11 relate to the accounting for acquisitions of interests in Joint Agreements.

The amendment establishes that a party that participates, but does not have control, in a joint agreement, can obtain control of the joint agreement. Given the above, the activity of the joint agreement would constitute a Business Combination as defined in IFRS 3, in such cases; the interests previously held in the joint agreement are not remeasured.

This modification had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

- IAS 23 Costs for loans. Costs for loans that can be capitalized.

The amendment to the standard is intended to clarify that, when an asset is available for use or sale, an entity will treat any outstanding loan taken specifically to obtain said asset, as part of the funds it has taken as current loans, from that moment on the interest will not be included as part of the cost of the asset.

This modification had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

- IAS 19 Employee Benefits.

On February 2018 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, which relate to:

- If there is a modification, reduction or liquidation of a plan, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and net interest for the period after the new measurement be determined using the assumptions used for the new measurement.

- In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a modification, reduction or liquidation of a plan on the requirements with respect to the asset roof.

This modification had no impact for Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

Accounting standards issued by the CMF.

- Circular No. 3,645.

On January 31, 2019, the CMF published this circular, which introduces changes to the Compendium of Accounting Standards in order to apply the criteria defined in IFRS 16.

The main changes are for the valuation for the right to use of assets under lease being applied as a measurement after initial recognition, the cost methodology less accumulated depreciation / amortization and accumulated impairment.

In the statement of financial position are introduced the items “Leased assets” and “lease liabilities”, which also modify the Notes “Fixed assets” and “Leased assets and lease liabilities”.

Additionally, banks and their subsidiaries must record any effect due to the first application of this standard in the equity item “Retained earnings from previous periods”.

The application of these amendments was made jointly with the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases.

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 the International Accounting Standards Board and the CMF that are not yet effective as of June 30, 2019, are detailed below:

Accounting standards issued by IASB.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Join Venture and IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2014, the IASB issued this amendment, which clarifies the scope of recognized gains and losses in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, and this depends on whether the asset sold or contribution is a business. Therefore, IASB concluded that all of the profit or loss should be recognized against loss of control of a business. Likewise, gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that is not 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 that the amendments should apply in the future, allowing its immediate application.

This amendment will not impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

Conceptual Framework.

On March 29, 2018, the IASB issued a “Reviewed” Conceptual Framework. Changes to the Conceptual Framework may affect the application of IFRS when no rule applies to a particular transaction or event.

The Conceptual Framework introduces mainly the following improvements:

The Conceptual Framework enters into force for periods beginning on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.

- IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Definition of a Business.

The amendments clarify the definition of business, with the objective of helping entities determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as the acquisition of an asset.

Companies are required to apply the modified definition of a business to acquisitions made from January 1, 2020. Early application is allowed.

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

- 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.

The date of application of these amendments is January 1, 2020. Early application is allowed.

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

Accounting standards issued by the CMF.

- Circular N°3,638.

On July 6, 2018, the CMF published amendments to the standards contained in Chapter B-1 “Provisions for Credit Risk” of the Compendium of Accounting Standards, which incorporates a standard model for the estimation of provisions for credit risk of the commercial portfolio of group analysis.

The proposed methods and risk factors considered are the following:

According to the CMF, the three standardized methods included in the model will constitute a prudential floor for internal methods currently used by the industry.

On January 31, 2019, the CMF supplemented said instructions with the publication of Circular No. 3,647, with the purpose of recognizing the mitigating effect of the credit risk represented by the assignor’s responsibility in the factoring operations, a particular factor is introduced for the component “Loss Given Default” (hereinafter “LGD”) of the standard method for the commercial portfolio of group analysis, for factoring provisions.

The new standards will come into force in July 2019.

The adoption of this standard will not have material impacts on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the adoption of new regulations in force at 1 January 2019. See Note No. 3 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements”.

The aforementioned Agreement includes a payment to the Bank of UF 5,367,057 on the date of the signing of the contracts, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and annual payments subject to compliance with insurance sales objectives during the agreement lifetime.

The subscription of the contracts referred in the Agreement was subject to the condition that the National Economic Prosecutor’s Office approve the execution of all of them, for which purpose the parties have proceeded to notify the operation in accordance with Chapter IV of the Decree Law No. 211.

Additionally, the shareholders approved the definite appointment of Mr. Julio Santiago Figueroa as Director of Banco de Chile, a position which he will hold until the next renewal of the Board of Directors.

For management purposes, the Bank is organized into four segments, which are defined based on the types of products and services offered, and the type of client in which focuses as described below:

Entity

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:

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

For the periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no income from transactions with a customer or counterparty that accounted for 10% or more of the Bank’s total revenues.
