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 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.

 

(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 No. 11. No. 12 and No. 32);
2.Useful life of intangible and property and equipment (Notes No.15 and No.16);
3.Income taxes and deferred taxes (Note No. 17);
4.Provisions (Note No. 24);
5.Contingencies and Commitments (Note No. 26);
6.Fair value of financial assets and liabilities (Note No. 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 significant changes in the estimates made.

 

(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, 2019 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 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.

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 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.

 

(g)Reclassifications:

 

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

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 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, took the option to recognize the cumulative effect on the initial adoption date (January 1, 2019), no restating the 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.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

(Free translation of interim consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish)

 

 

 

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

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.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

- 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”. The amendments specify that when a modification, reduction or liquidation of a plan occurs during the annual reporting period, the entity must:

 

- Determine the current cost of services for the remainder of the period following the modification, reduction or liquidation of the plan, using the actuarial assumptions used to measure the liability (asset) for the defined benefits net, reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event.

 

- Determine the net interest for the rest of the period after the modification, reduction or liquidation of the plan using: the liability (asset), net for defined benefits that reflects the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event; and the discount rate used to remeasure the net (asset) liability for defined benefits.

 

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, for the purposes of the first application of this standard, 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”.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

On May 6, 2019, the CMF issued Circular No. 3,649, which defines the treatment of the lease agreements expressed in UF, establishing that the variation in the UF should be treated as a new measurement, and therefore the readjustments resulting in changes in lease payments must be recognized as a modification of the amount of the obligation and in parallel, the amount of the asset must be adjusted for the right to use leased assets for this purpose.

 

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

 

Circular No. 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 methods and risk factors considered are the following:

 

-Commercial Leasing Portfolio: considers default, the type of asset in leasing (real estate or non-real estate) and the present value of benefits (PVB) of the asset of the operation.
-Student Portfolio: considers the type of loan granted, the enforceability of the payment and the default that it presents, in case the loan is enforceable.
-Generic Commercial Portfolio: considers default and the existence of real guarantees that guarantee the placement. In the case of guarantees, the relationship between the placement and the value of the collateral is considered.

 

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 complemented these instructions with the publication of Circular No. 3,647, with the purpose of recognizing the mitigating effect of the credit risk represented by the transferor’s responsibility in 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 adoption of this standard in July 2019 did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

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, 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:

 

-It incorporates some new concepts of measurement, presentation and disclosure and derecognition of assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements.

 

-Provides updated definitions of assets, liabilities and includes criteria for the recognition of assets and liabilities in the financial statements.

 

-Clarifies some important concepts such as background on form, prudential criteria and measurement of uncertainty.

 

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

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

(Free translation of interim consolidated financial statements originally issued in Spanish)

 

 

 

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

- 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.

 

(a)clarify that, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, as a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together contribute significantly to the ability to produce outputs;

 

(b)eliminate the assessment of whether market participants can substitute missing processes or inputs and continue to produce outputs;

 

(c)add guides and illustrative examples to help entities assess whether a substantial process has been acquired;

 

(d)restrict definitions of a business or products by focusing on goods and services provided to clients and eliminate reference to the ability of reducing costs; and

 

(e)add an optional concentration test that allows a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and businesses acquired are not business.

 

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.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

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, 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 pretend that entities designate new hedging relationships or discontinue existing hedge accounting.

 

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

 

The Administration is evaluating the impact of these modifications.

 

4.Changes in Accounting policies and Disclosures:

 

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.

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, 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.

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. 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

 

   September   December 
   2019   2018 
   MCh$   MCh$ 
Hedge element        
Commercial loans   9,709    11,132 
Corporate bonds   103,372    226,954 
           
Hedge instrument          
Cross currency swap   9,709    11,132 
Interest rate swap   103,372    226,954 

 

(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 and Euros. 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 2019 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$82,385 million (charge to equity of Ch$40,905 million in September 30, 2018). The net effect of taxes charge to equity amounts to Ch$60,141 million (net charge to equity of Ch$29,861 million credit to equity during the period September 2018).

 

The accumulated balance for this concept as of September 30, 2019 corresponds to a charge in equity amounted to Ch$125,879 million (charge to equity of Ch$43,494 million as of December 31, 2018).

 

(c.4)The net effect in income of derivatives cash flow hedges amount to Ch$27,685 million credit to income during the period 2019 (Ch$32,989 million credit to income during the period September 2018).

 

(c.5)As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018, the Bank does not have hedges of net investments in foreign business.

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 Area, 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.

(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.

(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 identical assets or liabilities. 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.

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

 

(a)Hierarchy of instrument valued at Fair value, 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, net present value through discounted cash flows 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.

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.

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 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.

(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
Repurchase agreements and security lending   Repurchase agreements and security lending
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 policy. 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 policy. As we use internally generated parameters and/or apply significant judgmental analysis for valuation purposes, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 3.

(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:

 

   Fair Value   Negative Fair Value of contracts with right to offset   Positive Fair Value of contracts with right to offset   Financial Collateral   Net Fair Value
