2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

(a)Basis of preparation:

 

Legal dispositions

 

Decree Law No. 3,538 of 1980, according to the text replaced by the first article of Law No. 21,000 that “Creates the Commission for the Financial Market”, provides in numeral 6 of its article 5 that the Commission for the Market Financial (CMF) may “set the standards for the preparation and presentation of reports, balance sheets, statements of situation and other financial statements of the audited entities and determine the principles under which they must keep their accounting”.

 

In accordance with the current legal framework, banks must use the accounting principles provided by the CMF and in everything that is not dealt with by it or in contravention of its instructions, they must adhere to the generally accepted accounting principles, which correspond to the technical standards issued by the College of Accountants of Chile AG, coinciding with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) agreed by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). If there are discrepancies between these accounting principles of general acceptance and the accounting criteria issued by the CMF, the latter shall prevail.

 

The notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contain additional information to that presented in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, Interim Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, Interim Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. They provide narrative descriptions or disaggregation of such statements in a clear, relevant, reliable and comparable way.

 

(b)Basis of consolidation:

 

The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 have been consolidated with its Chilean subsidiaries and foreign subsidiary using the global integration method (line-by-line). They include preparation of individual financial statements of the Bank and companies that participate in the consolidation and it includes adjustments and reclassifications necessary to homologue accounting policies and valuation criteria applied by the Bank. The Interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies for similar transactions and other events in equivalent circumstances.

 

Significant intercompany transactions and balances (assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows) originated in operations performed between the Bank and its subsidiaries and between subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation process. The non-controlling interest corresponding to the participation percentage of third parties in subsidiaries, which the Bank does not own directly or indirectly, has been recognized and is shown separately in the consolidated shareholders’ equity of the Bank.

(i)Subsidiaries

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 incorporate financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries. According IFRS 10 – “Consolidated Financial Statements”. Control requires exposure or rights to variable returns and the ability to affect those returns through power over an investee. Specifically, the Bank have power over the investee when has existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee.

 

When the Bank has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, but these voting rights are enough to have the ability to direct the relevant activities unilaterally, then conclude the Bank has control. The Bank considers all factors and relevant circumstances to evaluate if their voting rights are enough to obtain the control, which includes:

 

The amount of voting rights that the Bank has, related to the amount of voting rights of the others stakeholders;

 

Potential voting rights maintained by the Bank, other holders of voting rights or other parties;

 

Rights emanated from other contractual arrangements;

 

Any additional circumstance that indicate that the Bank have or have not the ability to manage the relevant activities when that decisions need to be taken, including behavior patterns of vote in previous shareholders meetings.

(ii)Associates and Joint Ventures

 

Associates

 

An associate is an entity over whose operating and financial management policy decisions the Bank has significant influence, without to have the control over the associate. Significant influence is generally presumed when the Bank holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Other considered factors when determining whether the Bank has significant influence over another entity are the representation on the board of directors and the existence of material intercompany transactions. The existence of these factors could determine the existence of significant influence over an entity even though the Bank had participation less than 20% of the voting rights.

 

Investments in associates where exists significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method. In accordance with the equity method, the Bank’s investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently increased or decreased to reflect the proportional participation of the Bank in the net income or loss of the associate and other movements recognized in its shareholders’ equity. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of an associate is included in the net book value, net of any accumulated impairment loss.

(ii)Associates and Joint Ventures, continued:

 

Joint Ventures

 

Joint Ventures are joint arrangements whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Joint control exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 

According to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, an entity will determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved, and may classify the agreement as a “Joint operation” or a “Joint venture”.

 

For investments defined like “Joint Operation”, their assets, liabilities, income and expenses are recognised by their participation in joint operation.

 

For investments defined like “Joint Venture”, they will be registered according equity method.

 

Investments in other companies that, for their characteristics, are defined like “Joint Ventures” are the following:

 

Artikos S.A.
Servipag Ltda.

 

(iii)Shares or rights in other companies

 

These are entities in which the Bank does not have significant influence. They are presented at acquisition value (historical cost) less any adjustment for impairment.

 

(iv)Special purpose entities

 

According to current regulation, the Bank analyze periodically its consolidation area, considering that the principal criteria are the control that the Bank has in an entity and not its percentage of equity participation.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Bank does not control and has not created any SPEs.

(b)Basis of consolidation, continued:

 

(v)Asset management services investments and mutual funds

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries manage and administer assets held in mutual funds and other investment products on behalf of investors, perceiving a paid according to the service provided and according to market conditions. Managed resources are owned by third parties and therefore not included in the Statement of Financial Position.

 

According to established in IFRS 10, for consolidation purposes is necessary to assess the role of the Bank and its subsidiaries with respect to the funds they manage, must determine whether that role is Agent or Principal. This assessment should consider the following:

 

- The scope of their authority to make decisions about the investee.

- The rights held by third parties.

- The remuneration to which he is entitled in accordance with the remuneration arrangements.

- Exposure, decision maker, the variability of returns from other interests that keeps the investee.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries manage on behalf and for the benefit of investors, acting in that relationship only as Agent. Under this category, and as provided in the aforementioned rule, do not control these funds when they exercise their authority to make decisions. Therefore, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Bank and its subsidiaries act as agents, and therefore do not consolidate any fund. No funds are part of the consolidation.

 

(c)Non-controlling interest:

 

Non-controlling interest represents the share of losses, income and net assets that the Bank does not control, neither directly or indirectly. It is presented as a separate item in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income and the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

(d)Use of estimates and judgment:

 

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

 

1.Provision for loan losses (Notes No. 11. No. 12 and No. 32);
2.Useful life of intangible, property and equipment and leased assets and lease liabilities (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).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(d)Use of estimates and judgments, continued:

 

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

 

During the period ended September 30, 2021 there have been no significant changes in the estimates.

 

(e)Financial asset and liability valuation criteria:

 

Measurement is the process of determining the monetary amounts at which the elements of the financial statements are to be recognized and carried in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the Interim Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income. This involves selecting the particular basis or method of measurement.

 

In the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements several measuring bases are used with different levels mixed among them. These bases or methods include the following:

 

(i)Initial recognition

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize loans to customers, trading and investment securities, deposits, debt issued and subordinated liabilities and other assets or liabilities on the date of negotiation. Purchases and sales of financial assets performed on a regular basis are recognized as of the trade date on which the Bank committed to purchase or sell the asset.

 

(ii)Classification

 

Assets, liabilities and income accounts have been classified in conformity with standards issued by the CMF.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(e)Financial asset and liability valuation criteria, continued:

 

(iii)Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries derecognize a financial asset (or where applicable part of a financial asset) from its Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset have expired or when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset are transferred during a transaction in which all ownership risks and rewards of the financial asset are transferred. Any portion of transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Bank is recognized as a separate asset or liability.

 

When the Bank transfers a financial asset, it assesses to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. In this case:

 

(a)If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been transferred, it is no longer recognized, and any rights or obligations created or retained upon transfer are recognized separately as assets or liabilities.

 

(b)If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been retained, the Bank continues to recognize it.

 

(c)If substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are neither transferred nor retained, the Bank will determine if it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:

 

(i)If the Bank has not retained control, the financial asset will be no longer recognized, and any rights or obligations created or retained upon transfer will be recognized separately as assets or liabilities.

 

(ii)If the Bank has retained control, it will continue to recognize the financial asset in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements by an amount equal to its exposure to changes in value that can experience and recognize a financial liability associated to the transferred financial asset.

 

The Bank stops recognizing a financial liability (or a portion thereof) from its Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, it has extinguished or, in other words, when the obligation specified in the corresponding contract has been paid or settled or has expired.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(e)Financial asset and liability valuation criteria, continued:

 

(iv)Offsetting

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the Interim Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, the Bank has the legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

Income and expenses are shown net only if accounting standards allow such treatment, or in the case of gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions such as the Bank’s trading activities.

 

(v)Valuation at amortized cost

 

Amortized cost is the amount at which a financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization (calculated using the effective interest rate method) of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and minus any reduction for impairment.

 

(vi)Fair value measurements

 

Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between participants in a main market (or more advantageous) at the measurement date under current market conditions, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. The most objective and common fair value is the price that you would pay on an active, transparent and deep market (“quoted price” or “market price”).

 

When available, the Bank estimates the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is considered active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

 

If a market for a financial instrument is not active, the Bank establishes fair value using a valuation technique. These valuation techniques include the use of recent market transactions between knowledgeable, willing parties at arm’s length transactions, if available, as well as references to the fair value of other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flows and options pricing models.

 

The chosen valuation technique use the maximum observable market data, relies as little as possible on estimates performed by the Bank, incorporates factors that market participants would consider in setting a price and is consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments. Inputs into the valuation technique reasonably represent market expectations and include risk and return factors that are inherent in the financial instrument. Periodically, the Bank calibrates the valuation techniques and tests it for validity using prices from observable current market transaction in the same instrument or based on any available observable market data.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(e)Financial asset and liability valuation criteria, continued:

 

(vi)Fair value measurements, continued:

 

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or received) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables include only data from observable markets. However, when transaction price provides the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition, the financial instrument is initially measured at the transaction price and any difference between this price and the value initially obtained from a valuation model is subsequently recognized in incomes.

 

On the other hand, it should be noted that the Bank has financial assets and liabilities that offset each other’s market risks, based on which average market prices are used as a basis for determining their fair value.

 

Then, the fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties; to the extent that the Bank believes that a third-party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction.

 

The Bank’s fair value disclosures are included in Note No. 39.

 

(f)Functional currency:

 

In accordance with IAS 21 “Effects of Variations in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates”, the items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of the Bank and its subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (functional currency). The functional currency of the Bank is the Chilean peso, which is also the currency used to present the entity’s Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. This is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates, as well as the currency that influences in the costs and income structure.

 

(g)Transactions in foreign currency:

 

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are considered to be in foreign currency and are initially recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted using the exchange rate of the functional currency as of the date of the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. All differences are recorded as a debit or credit to income.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(g)Transactions in foreign currency, continued:

 

As of September 30, 2021, the Bank applied the exchange rate of accounting representation according to the standards issued by the CMF, where assets expressed in dollars are shown to their equivalent value in Chilean pesos calculated using the following exchange rate of Ch$811.60 US$1 (Ch$711.90 to US$1 in December 2020 and Ch$784.31 in September 2020).

 

The loss of Ch$15,239 million for net foreign exchange transactions (a gain of Ch$109,677 million in September 2020) shown in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income, includes recognition of the effects of exchange rate variations on assets and liabilities in foreign currency or indexed to exchange rates, and the result of foreign exchange transactions conducted by the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

(h)Operating Segments:

 

The Bank discloses information by segment in accordance with IFRS 8. The Bank’s operating segments are determined based on its different business units, considering the following factors:

 

(i)That it conducts business activities from which income is obtained and expenses are incurred (including income and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity).

 

(ii)That its operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity’s highest decision-making authority for operating decisions, to decide about resource allocation for the segment and evaluate its performance; and

 

(iii)That separate financial information is available.

 

(i)Cash and cash equivalents:

 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents derived from operating activities, investment and financing activities during the year. The indirect method has been used in the preparation of this Interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(i)Cash and cash equivalents, continued:

 

For the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Cash Flow the indirect method is used and the following concepts are taken into consideration:

 

(i)Cash and cash equivalents correspond to “Cash and Bank Deposits”, plus (minus) the net balance of transactions in the course of collection that are shown in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, plus instruments held-for-trading and available-for-sale that are highly liquid and have an insignificant risk of change in value, maturing in less than three months from the date of acquisition, plus repurchase agreements that are in that situation. Also includes investments in fixed income mutual funds, according to instructions of the CMF that are presented under “Trading Instruments” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

 

(ii)Operating activities: corresponds to normal activities of the Bank, as well as other activities that cannot classify like investing or financing activities.

 

(iii)Investing activities: correspond to the acquisition, sale or disposition other forms, of long-term assets and other investments that not include in cash and cash equivalent.

 

(iv)Financing activities: corresponds to the activities that produce changes in the amount and composition of the equity and the liabilities that are not included in the operating or investing activities.

 

(j)Financial assets held-for-trading:

 

Financial assets held-for-trading consist of securities acquired with the intention of generating profits as a result of short-term prices fluctuation or as a result of brokerage activities, or are part of a portfolio on which a short-term profit-generating pattern exists.

 

Financial assets held-for-trading are stated at their fair value. Accrued interest, gains or losses from their fair value adjustments, as well as gains or losses from trading activities, are included in “Net financial operating income” in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(k)Operations under resale and repurchase agreements:

 

The Bank carries out operations under resale agreements as a form of investment. The securities purchased under these agreements are recognized on the Bank’s Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under “Investments under resale agreements”, which is valued in accordance with the agreed-upon interest rate, through of method of amortized cost. According to rules, the Bank not register as own portfolio the instruments bought within resale agreements.

 

The Bank also carries out operations under repurchase agreements as a form of financing. The investments that are sold under repurchase obligation and that serve as collateral for borrowings are classified as “Financial Assets held-for-trading” or “Available-for-sale Instruments”. The obligation to repurchase the investment is classified as a liability in “Obligations under repurchase agreements”, and is valued in accordance with the agreed-upon interest rate.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Bank did not have operations corresponding to securities lending.

 

(l)Derivative instruments:

 

A “Financial Derivative” is a financial instrument whose value changes in response to changes in an observable market variable (such as an interest rate, exchange rate, the price of a financial instrument or a market index, including credit ratings), whose initial investment is very small in relation to other financial instruments with a similar response to changes in market conditions and which is generally settled at a future date.

 

The Bank maintains contracts of Derivative financial instruments, for cover the exposition of risk of foreign currency and interest rate. These contracts are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their cost (included transactions costs) and subsequently measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are reported as an asset when their fair value is positive and as a liability when negative under the item “Derivative Instruments”.

 

Changes in fair value of derivative contracts held for trading purpose are included under “Profit (loss) net of financial operations”, in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

In addition, the Bank includes in the valorization of derivatives the “Credit Valuation Adjustment” (CVA), to reflect the counterparty risk in the determination of fair value and the Bank’s own credit risk, known as “Debit valuation adjustment” (DVA).

 

Certain embedded derivatives in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their risk and characteristics are not closely related to those of the main contract and if the contract in its entirety is not recorded at its fair value with its unrealized gains and losses included in income.

 

At the moment of subscription of a derivative contract must be designated by the Bank as a derivative instrument for trading or hedging purposes.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(l)Derivative instruments, continued:

 

If a derivative instrument is classified as a hedging instrument, it can be:

 

(1)A hedge of the fair value of existing assets or liabilities or firm commitments, or;
(2)A hedge of cash flows related to existing assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions.

 

A hedge relationship for hedge accounting purposes must comply with all of the following conditions:

 

(a)at its inception, the hedge relationship has been formally documented;
(b)it is expected that the hedge will be highly effective;
(c)the effectiveness of the hedge can be measured in a reasonable manner; and
(d)the hedge is highly effective with respect to the hedged risk on an ongoing basis and throughout the entire hedge relationship.

 

The Bank presents and measures individual hedges (where there is a specific identification of hedged item and hedged instruments) by classification, according to the following criteria:

 

Fair value hedges: changes in the fair value of a hedged instruments derivative, designed like “fair value hedges”, are recognized in income under the line “Net interest income” and/or “Foreign exchange transactions, net”. Hedged item also is presented to fair value, related to the risk to be hedge. Gains or losses from hedged risk are recognized in income under the line “Net interest income” and adjust the book value of item hedged.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(l)Derivative instruments, continued:

 

Cash flow hedge: changes in the fair value of financial instruments derivative designated like “cash flow hedge” are recognised in “Other Comprehensive Income”, to the extent that hedge is effective and hedge is reclassified to income in the item “Net interest income” and/or “Foreign exchange transactions, net”, when hedged item affects the income of the Bank produced for the “interest rate risk” or “foreign exchange risk”, respectively. If the hedge is not effective, changes in fair value are recognised directly in income in the item “Net financial operating income”.

 

If the hedged instruments does not comply with criteria of hedge accounting of cash flow, it expires or is sold, it suspend or executed, this hedge must be discontinued prospectively. Accumulated gains or losses recognised previously in the equity are maintained there until projected transactions occur, in that moment will be registered in Consolidated Statement of Income (in the item “Net interest income” and/or “Foreign exchange transactions, net”, depend of the hedge), lesser than it foresees that the transaction will not execute, in this case it will be registered immediately in Interim Consolidated Statement of Income (in the item “Net interest income” and/or “Foreign exchange transactions, net”, depend of the hedge).

 

(m)Loans to customers:

 

Loans to customers include originated and purchased non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted on an active market and which the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the short-term.

 

(i)Valuation method

 

Loans are initially measured at cost plus incremental transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method minus any impairment, except when the Bank defined some loans as hedged items, which are measured at fair value, changes are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, as described in letter (l) of this note.

(ii)Lease contracts

 

Accounts receivable for leasing contracts, included under the caption “Loans to customers” correspond to periodic lease installments of contracts which meet the definition to be classified as financial leases and are presented at their nominal value net of unearned interest as of each year-end.

 

(iii)Factoring transactions

 

They are valued for the amounts disbursed by the Bank in exchange for invoices or other commercial instruments representative of credit, with or without responsibility of the grantor, received in discount. Price differences between the amounts disbursed and the nominal value of the credits are recorded in the result as interest income, through the effective interest method, during the financing period.

 

In those cases where the transfer of these instruments it was made without responsibility of the grantor, it is the Bank who assumes the insolvency risks of those required to pay.

 

(iv)Impairment of loans

 

The impaired loans include the following assets, according to Chapter B-1 of Accounting Standards Compendium of the CMF:

 

a)In case of debtors subject to individual assessment, are considered in impaired portfolio “Non-complying loans” and the categories B3 y B4 of “Substandar loans” defined in letter m) v.i).
b)Debtors subject to assessment group evaluation, the impaired portfolio includes all credits of the “Non-complying loans” defined in letter m) v. v).

 

(v)Allowance for loan losses

 

The Bank permanently evaluates the entire portfolio of loans and contingent loans, with the aim of establishing the necessary and sufficient provisions in a timely manner to cover the expected losses associated with the characteristics of the debtors and their credits, based on the payment and subsequent recovery.

 

Allowances are required to cover the risk of loan losses have been established in accordance with the instructions issued by the CMF. The loans are presented net of those allowances and, in the case of loans and in the case of contingent loans, they are shown in liabilities under “Provisions”.

 

In accordance with what is stipulated by the CMF, models or methods are used based on an individual and group analysis of debtors, to establish allowance for loan losses. Said models, as well as modifications to their design and application, are approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors.

(v.i)Allowances based on individual analysis of debtors:

 

An individual analysis of debtors is applied to individuals and companies that are of such significance with respect to size, complexity or level of exposure to the bank, that they must be analyzed in detail.

 

Likewise, the analysis of borrowers should focus on its credit quality related to the ability to payment, to have sufficient and reliable information, and to analyze in regard to guarantees, terms, interest rates, currency and revaluation, etc.

 

For purposes of establish the allowances, the banks must be asses the credit quality, then classify to one of three categories of loans portfolio: Normal, Substandard and Non-complying Loans, it must classify the debtors and their operations related to loans and contingent loans in the categories that apply.

 

v.i.1Normal Loans and Substandard Loans:

 

Normal loans: correspond to borrowers who are up to date on their payment obligations and show no sign of deterioration in their credit quality. Loans classified in categories A1 through A6.

 

Substandard loans: includes all borrowers with insufficient payment capacity or significant deterioration of payment capacity that may be reasonably expected not to comply with all principal and interest payments obligations set forth in the credit agreement.

 

This category also includes all loans that have been non-performing for more than 30 days. Loans classified in this category are B1 through B4.

 

As a result of individual analysis of the debtors, the banks must classify them in the following categories, assigning, subsequently, the percentage of probability of default and loss given default resulting in the following percentage of expected loss:

 

Classification  Category of
the debtors
  Probability of
default (%)
   Loss given
default (%)
   Expected
loss (%)
 
Normal Loans  A1   0.04    90.0    0.03600 
   A2   0.10    82.5    0.08250 
   A3   0.25    87.5    0.21875 
   A4   2.00    87.5    1.75000 
   A5   4.75    90.0    4.27500 
   A6   10.00    90.0    9.00000

   B3   33.00    97.5    32.17500

v.i.1Normal Loans and Substandard Loans, continued:

 

Allowances for Normal and Substandard Loans:

 

To determine the amount of allowances to be constitute for normal and substandard portfolio, previously should be estimated the exposure to subject to the allowances, which will be applied to respective expected loss (expressed in decimals), which consist of probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) established for the category in which the debtor and/or guarantor belong, as appropriate.

 

The exposure affects to allowances applicable to loans plus contingent loans minus the amounts to be recovered by way of the foreclosure of financial or real guarantees of the operations. Loans mean the book value of credit of the respective debtor, while for contingent loans, the value resulting from to apply the indicated in No. 3 of Chapter B-3 of Banking Accounting Standards Compendium.

 

In the case of real guarantees, the Bank must demonstrate that the value assigned to this deduction reasonably reflects the value that it would obtain in the sale of the assets or capital instruments. Also, in qualified cases, the direct debtor’s credit risk may be substituted for the credit quality of the guarantor. In no case may the guaranteed securities be discounted from the amount of the exposure, since this procedure is only applicable when it comes to financial or real guarantees.

 

The banks must use the following equation:

 

Provision debtor = (ESA-GE) x (PD debtor /100)x(LGD debtor /100)+GE x(PD guarantor/100)x(LGD guarantor/100)

 

Where:

ESA= Exposure subject to allowances, (Loans + Contingent Loans) – Financial Guarantees
GE= Guaranteed exposure

 

However, the Bank must maintain a minimum provision level of 0.50% over normal portfolio and contingents loans.

 

v.i.2Non-complying Loans:

 

The non-complying portfolio includes the debtors and their credits for which their recovery is considered remote, as they show an impaired or no payment capacity. This category comprises all debtors who have stopped paying their creditors or with visible evidence that they will stop doing so, as well as those for which a forced restructuring of their debts is necessary, reducing the obligation or postponing the payment of the principal or interest and, in addition, any debtor that has 90 days overdue or more in the payment of interest or principal of any credit.

v.i.2Non-complying Loans, continued:

 

This portfolio is composed of the debtors belonging to categories C1 to C6 of the rating scale and all credits, including 100% of the amount of contingent loans, held by those same debtors.

 

For purposes to establish the allowances on the non-complying loans, the Bank disposes the use of percentage of allowances to be applied on the amount of exposure, which corresponds to the amount of loans and contingent loans that maintain the same debtor. To apply that percentage, must be estimated an expected loss rate, less the amount of the exposure the recoveries by way of foreclosure of financial or real guarantees that to support the operation and, if there are available specific background, also must be deducting present value of recoveries obtainable exerting collection actions, net of expenses associated with them. This loss percentage must be categorized in one of the six levels defined by the range of expected actual losses by the Bank for all transactions of the same debtor.

 

These categories, their range of loss as estimated by the Bank and the percentages of allowance that must be applied on the amount of exposures, are listed in the following table:

 

Type of Loan  Classification  Expected loss  Allowance (%) 
Non-complying loans  C1  Up to 3 %   2 
   C2  More than 3% up to 20%   10 
   C3  More than 20% up to 30%   25 
   C4  More than 30 % up to 50%   40 
   C5  More than 50% up to 80%   65 
   C6  More than 80%   90 

 

For these loans, the expected loss must be calculated in the following manner:

 

Expected loss= (TE – R) / TE
Allowance= TE x (AP/100)

 

Where:

TE= total exposure
R= recoverable amount based on estimates of collateral value and collection efforts
AP= allowance percentage (based on the category in which the expected loss should be classified).

All credits of the debtor must be kept in the Default Portfolio until there is a normalization of their ability or payment behavior, without prejudice to punishment of each particular credit that meets the condition indicated in point (v.i) hereunder in order to remove a debtor from the Default Portfolio, once the circumstances that lead to classification in this portfolio according to the present rules have been overcome, at least the following copulative conditions must be met:

 

-No obligation of the debtor with the bank with more than 30 calendar days overdue.
-No new refinances granted to pay its obligations.
-At least one of the payments includes amortization of capital.
-If the debtor has a credit with partial payment periods less than six months, has already made two payments.
-If the debtor must pay monthly fees for one or more credits, has paid four consecutive dues.
-The debtor does not have direct debts unpaid in the CMF recast information, except in the case of insignificant amounts.

 

(v.ii)Allowances based on group analysis of debtors

 

Group evaluations are relevant to address a large number of operations whose individual amounts are low or small companies. Such assessments, and the criteria for application, must be consistent with the transaction that gave rise to the credit. Require the formation of groups of loans with similar characteristics in terms of type of debtors and conditions agreed, to establish technically based estimates by prudential criteria and following both the payment behavior of the group that concerned as recoveries of defaulted loans and consequently provide the necessary provisions to cover the risk of the portfolio.

 

The Bank may use two alternative methods for determining provisions for retail loans that are evaluated as a group.

 

Under first method, it will be used the experience to explain the payment behavior of each homogeneous group of debtors and recoveries through collateral and of collection process, when it correspond, with objective of to estimate directly a percentage of expected losses that will be apply to the amount of the loans of respective group.

(v.ii)Allowances based on group analysis of debtors, continued:

 

Under second method, the Bank will segment to debtors in homogeneous groups, as described above, associating a determined probability of default and a percentage of recovery based in a historic analysis to each group. The amount of provisions to register it will be obtained multiplied the total loans of respective group by the percentages of estimated default and of loss given the default.

 

In both methods, estimated loss must be related with type of portfolio and terms of operations.

 

The Bank to determine its provisions has opted for using second method.

 

In the case of consumer loans, collateral are not considered for the purpose of estimating the expected loss.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the constitution of provisions, the Bank must recognize minimum provisions for each type of portfolio according to the standard methods established by the CMF, which correspond to a minimum prudential base that must be used by the entities, which does not exempt them from their responsibility to have their own methodologies for the purpose of determining sufficient provisions to protect the credit risk of their portfolios.

 

To the extent that the CMF has a standard methodology, the Bank must recognize minimum provisions in accordance with them. The constitution of provisions will be made considering the highest value obtained between the respective standard method and the internal method.

 

The Bank must discriminate between provisions on the normal portfolio and on the portfolio in default, and those that protect the risks of contingent credits associated with those portfolios.

(v.iii)Standard method of provisions for Mortgage Loans

 

According to the established by the CMF, the provision factor applicable, represented by expected loss over the mortgage loans, it will depend to the past due of each credit and the relation, at the end of month, between outstanding capital and the value of the mortgage guarantees (CMG), according the following table:

 

Provision factor applicable according past due and CMG
      Past due days at the end-month 
CMG  Concept  0   1-29   30-59   60-89   Non – Complying Loans

Where:

PD: Probability of default
LGD: Loss given default
EAD: Exposure at default
CMG: Outstanding loan capital /Mortgage Guarantee value

 

In the event that a single debtor maintains more than one home mortgage loan with the bank and one of them is 90 days or more behind, all such loans will be assigned to the defaulted portfolio, calculating the provisions for each one of them. They agree with their respective percentages of CMG.

(v.iv)Commercial portfolio

 

To determine the allowances of the commercial portfolio, the Bank must consider the standard methods presented below, as applicable to commercial leasing operations or other types of commercial loans. Then, the applicable provision factor will be assigned considering the parameters defined for each method.

 

a)Commercial Leasing Operations

 

The provision factor must be applied to the current value of commercial leasing operations (including the purchase option) and will depend on the default of each operation, the type of leased asset and the relationship between the current value of each operation and the leased asset value (PVB) at each month-end, as indicated in the following tables:

 

Probability of default (PD) applicable according to default and type of asset (%)
   Type of asset 
Days of default of the operation at the month-end  Real estate   Non-real estate 
0   0.79    1.61 
1-29   7.94    12.02 
30-59   28.76    40.88 
60-89   58.76    69.38 
Portfolio in default   100.00    100.00 

 

Loss given the default (LGD) applicable according to PVB section and type of asset (%)
PVB = Current value of the operation / Value of the leased asset
PVB section  Real estate   Non-real estate 
PVB ≤ 40%   0.05    18.2 
40% < PVB ≤ 50%   0.05    57.00 
50% < PVB ≤ 80%   5.10    68.40 
80% < PVB ≤ 90%   23.20    75.10 
PVB > 90%   36.20    78.90 

 

The determination of the PVB relationship will be made considering the appraisal value expressed in UF for real estate and in Chilean pesos for non-real estate, recorded at the time of the respective loan granting, taking into account possible situations that may be causing temporary increases in the assets prices at that time.

b)Generic commercial placements and factoring

 

In the case of factoring operations and other commercial placements, other than those indicated above, the provision factor, applicable to the amount of the placement and the exposure of the contingent loan risk (as indicated in paragraph 3 of Chapter B-3 ), will depend on the default of each operation and the relationship that exists at the end of each month, between the obligations that the debtor has with the bank and the value of the collateral that protect them (PTVG), as indicated in the following tables:   

 

Probability of default (PD) applicable according to default and PTVG section (%)
   With collateral   Without 
Days of default at the month-end  PTVG≤100%   PTVG>100%   collateral 
0   1.86    2.68    4.91

Loss given the default (LGD) applicable according to PTVG section (%)
Collateral (with / without)  PTVG section  Generic commercial operations or factoring without the responsibility of the transferor   Factoring with the responsibility of the transferor 
With collateral  PTVG ≤ 60%   5.0    3.2 
   60% < PTVG≤ 75%   20.3    12.8 
   75% < PTVG ≤ 90%   32.2    20.3

b)Generic commercial placements and factoring, continued:

 

The collaterals used for the purposes of calculating the PTVG relationship of this method may be specific or general, including those that are simultaneously specific and general. Collateral can only be considered if, according to the respective coverage clauses, it was constituted in the first degree of preference in favor of the Bank and only guarantees the debtor’s credits with respect to which it is imputed (not shared with other debtors).

 

The invoices assigned in the factoring operations will not be considered for purposes of calculating the PTVG. The excess of collateral associated with mortgage loans referred to in numeral 3.1.1 of Chapter B-1 Residential mortgage portfolio may be considered, computed as the difference between 80% of the property’ commercial value, according to with the conditions set out in that framework, and the mortgage loan that guarantees.

 

For the calculation of the PTVG ratio, the following considerations must be taken:

 

i.Transactions with specific collaterals: when the debtor granted specific collateral for generic commercial loans and factoring, the PTVG ratio is calculated independently for each covered transaction, such as the division between the amount of the loans and the contingent loans exposure and the collateral’s value of the covered product.

 

ii.Transactions with general collaterals: when the debtor granted general or general and specific collaterals, the Bank calculates the respective PTVG, jointly for all generic commercial loans and factoring and not contemplated in the preceding paragraph i), as the quotient between the sum of the amounts of the loans and exposures of contingent loans and the general, or general and specific collateral that, according to the scope of the remaining coverage clauses, safeguard the loans considered in the numerator aforementioned coverage ratio.

 

The amounts of the guarantees used in the PTVG ratio of numerals i) and ii), different from those associated with excess guarantees from mortgage loans to which the residential mortgage portfolio refers, must be determined according to:

 

-The last valuation of the collateral, be it appraisal or fair value, according to the type of real guarantee in question. For the determination of fair value, the criteria indicated in Chapter 7-12 (Fair Value of Financial Instruments) of the Updated Collection of Standards should be considered.
-Possible situations that could be causing temporary increases in the values of the collaterals.
-Limitations on the amount of coverage established in their respective clauses.

(v.v)Portfolio in default

 

The portfolio in default includes all placements and 100% of the amount of the contingent loans, of the debtors that the closing of a month presents a delay equal to or greater than 90 days in the payment of the interest of the capital of any credit. It will also include debtors who are granted a credit to leave an operation that has more than 60 days of delay in their payment, as well as those debtors who were subject to forced restructuring or partial forgiveness of a debt.

 

They may exclude from the portfolio in default: a) mortgage loans for housing, which delinquent less than 90 days, unless the debtor has another loan of the same type with greater delinquency; and, b) credits for financing higher studies of Law No. 20,027, which do not yet present the non-compliance conditions indicated in Circular No. 3,454 of December 10, 2008.

 

All credits of the debtor must be kept in the Default Portfolio until there is a normalization of their ability or payment behavior, without prejudice to punishment of each particular credit that meets the condition indicated in point (vi) hereunder in order to remove a debtor from the Default Portfolio, once the circumstances that lead to classification in this portfolio according to the present rules have been overcome, at least the following copulative conditions must be met:

 

-No obligation of the debtor with the bank with more than 30 calendar days overdue.
-No new refinances granted to pay its obligations.
-At least one of the payments includes amortization of capital. This condition does not apply in the case of debtors who only have credits for financing higher education in accordance with Law No. 20,027.
-If the debtor has a credit with partial payment periods less than six months, has already made two payments.
-If the debtor must pay monthly fees for one or more credits, has paid four consecutive dues.
-The debtor does not appear with unpaid debts direct according to the information recast by CMF, except for insignificant amounts.

 

(v.vi)Provisions related to financing with FOGAPE COVID-19 guarantee

 

On July 17, 2020, the CMF requested to determine specific provisions of the credits guaranteed by the FOGAPE COVID-19 guarantee, for which the expected losses must be determined estimating the risk of each operation, without considering the substitution of credit quality of the guarantee, according to the corresponding individual or group analysis method, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards. This procedure must be carried out in an aggregate manner, grouping all those operations to which the same deductible percentage is applicable.

 

The deductible will be applied by the Fund Administrator, which must be borne by each financial institution and does not depend on each particular operation, but is determined based on the total of the balances guaranteed by the Fund for each group of companies that have the same coverage according to their net sales size.

(vi)Charge-offs

 

Generally, the charge-offs are generated when the contractual rights on cash flows end. In case of loans, even if the above does not happen, the Bank will proceed to charge-offs the respective asset balances.

 

The charge-off refers to derecognition of the assets in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, related to the respective transaction and, therefore, the part that could not be past-due if a loan is payable in installments, or a lease.

 

The charge-off must be to make using credit risk provisions constituted, whatever the cause for which the charge-off was produced.

 

(vi.i)Charge-offs of loans to customers

 

Charge-off loans to customers, other than leasing operations, shall be made in accordance to the following circumstances occurs:

 

a)The Bank, based on all available information, concludes that will not obtain any cash flow of the credit recorded as an asset.
b)When the debt without executive title expires 90 days after it was recorded in asset.
c)At the time the term set by the statute of limitations runs out and as result legal actions are precluded in order to request payment through executive trial or upon rejection or abandonment of title execution issued by judicial and non-recourse resolution.
d)When past-due term of a transaction complies with the following:

 

Type of Loan   Term
Consumer loans - secured and unsecured   6 months
Other transactions - unsecured   24 months
Commercial loans - secured   36 months
Residential mortgage loans   48 months

 

The term represents the time elapsed since the date on which payment of all or part of the obligation in default became due.

(vi.ii)Charge-offs of lease operations

 

Assets for leasing operations must be charge-offs against the following circumstances, whichever occurs first:

 

a)The Bank concludes that there is no possibility of lease recovery and the value of the property cannot be considered for purposes of recovery of the contract, either because the lessee have not the asset, for the property’s conditions, for expenses that involve its recovery, transfer and maintenance, due to technological obsolescence or absence of a history of your location and current situation.

 

b)When it complies the prescription term of actions to demand the payment through executory or upon rejection or abandonment of executory by court.

 

c)When past-due term of a transaction complies with the following:

 

Type of Loan   Term
Consumer leases   6 months
Other non-real estate lease transactions   12 months
Real estate leases (commercial or residential)   36 months

 

The term represents the time elapsed since the date on which payment of all or part of the obligation in default became due.

  

(vii)Loan loss recoveries

 

Cash recoveries on charge-off loans including loans that were reacquired from the Central Bank of Chile are recorded directly in income in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income, as a reduction of the “Provisions for Loan Losses” item.

 

In the event that there are recovery in assets, is recognized in income the revenues for the amount they are incorporated in the asset. The same criteria will be followed if the leased assets are recovered after the charge-off of a lease operation, to incorporate those to the asset.

 

(vii)Renegotiations of written-off loans

 

Any renegotiation of a credit already written off does not give rise to income, as long as the operation remains to have an impaired quality; the actual payments received must be treated as recoveries of credits written off, as indicated above.

 

Therefore, renegotiated credit can be recorded as an asset only if it has not deteriorated quality; also recognizing revenue from activation must be recorded like recovery of loans.

 

The same criteria should apply in the case that was give credit to pay a charge-off loan.

(n)Investment instruments:

 

Investment instruments are classified into two categories: Investments to maturity and Instruments available for sale. The category of Investments to maturity includes only those instruments in which it have the capacity and intention to hold them until their expiration date. The other investment instruments are considered as available-for-sale.

 

Financial assets held-to-maturity are recorded at their cost plus accrued interest and indexations less impairment provisions made when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount.

 

A financial asset classified as available-for-sale is initially recognized at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset, subsequently measured at their fair value based on market prices or valuation models. Unrealized gains or losses as a result of fair value adjustments are recorded in “Other comprehensive income” within Equity. When these investments are sold, the cumulative fair value adjustment existing within equity is recorded directly in income under “Net financial operating income”.

 

Interest and indexations of financial assets held-to-maturity and available-for-sale are included in the line item “Interest revenue”.

 

Investment securities, which are subject to hedge accounting, are adjusted according to the rules for hedge accounting as described in Note No. 2 letter (l).

(o)Intangible:

 

Intangible assets are identified as non-monetary assets (separately identifiable from other assets) without physical substance which arise as a result of a legal transaction or are developed internally by the consolidated entities. They are assets whose cost can be estimated reliably and from which the consolidated entities have control and consider it probable that future economic benefits will be generated. Intangible assets are recorded initially at acquisition cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization or any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Software or computer programs purchased by the Bank and its subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

 

The subsequent expense in software assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefit for the specific asset. All other expenses are recorded as an expense as incurred.

 

Amortization is recorded in income using the straight-line amortization method based on the estimated useful life of the software, from the date on which it is available for use. The estimated useful life of software is a maximum of 6 years.

 

(p)Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment includes the amount of land, real estate, furniture, computer equipment and other installations owned by the consolidated entities and which are for own use. These assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment. This cost includes expenses than have been directly attributed to the asset’s acquisition.

 

Depreciation is recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property and equipment.

 

Estimated useful lives for 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

 

-     Buildings 50 years
-     Installations 10 years
-     Equipment 5 years
-     Supplies and accessories 5 years

 

Maintenance expenses relating to those assets held for own uses are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

(q)Deferred taxes and income taxes:

 

The income tax provision of the Bank and its subsidiaries has been determined in conformity with current legal provisions.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries recognize, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for future estimates of tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the book and tax values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rate expected to be applied, in accordance with current tax law, in the year that deferred tax assets are realized or liabilities are settled. The effects of future changes in tax legislation or tax rates are recognized in deferred taxes starting on the date of publication of the law approving such changes.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is likely that future tax profits will be sufficient to recover deductions for temporary differences. According to instructions from the CMF, deferred taxes are presented in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position according to IAS 12 “Income Tax”.

 

(r)Assets received in lieu of payment:

 

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment of loans and accounts receivable from customers are recorded, in the case of assets received in lieu of payment, at the price agreed by the parties, or otherwise, when the parties do not reach an agreement, at the amount at which the Bank is awarded those assets at a judicial auction.

 

Assets received in lieu of payment are classified under “Other Assets” and they are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or net realizable value, less charge-off and presented net of a portfolio valuation allowance. The CMF requires regulatory charge-offs if the asset is not sold within a one year of foreclosure.

 

(s)Investment properties:

 

Investments properties are real estate assets held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both, but are not held-for-sale in the ordinary course of business or used for administrative purposes. Investment properties are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and losses due to impairment and are presented under “Other Assets”.

 

(t)Debt issued:

 

Financial instruments issued by the Bank are classified in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under “Debt issued” items, where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the Bank having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder or to satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash.

 

Debt issued is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on the issue and costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(u)Provisions and contingent liabilities:

 

Provisions are liabilities involving uncertainty about their amount or maturity. They are recorded in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when the following requirements are jointly met:

 

i)a present obligation has arisen from a past event;

 

ii)as of the date of the financial statements it is probable that the Bank or its subsidiaries have to disburse resources to settle the obligation; and

 

iii)the amount can be reliably measured.

 

A contingent asset or liability is any right or obligation arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed by one or more uncertain future events which are not within the control of the Bank.

 

Contingent credits are understood as operations or commitments in which the Bank assumes a credit risk by committing itself to third parties, in the event of a future event, to make a payment or disbursement that must be recovered from its clients.

 

The following are classified as contingent credits in the complementary information:

 

i.Guarantees and sureties: Comprises guarantees, sureties and standby letters of credit. In addition it includes payment guarantees for purchases in factoring transactions.

 

ii.Confirmed foreign letters of credit: Corresponds to letters of credit confirmed by the Bank.

 

iii.Documentary letters of credit: Includes documentary letters of credit issued by the Bank which have not yet been negotiated.

 

iv.Documented guarantee with promissory notes.

 

v.Undrawn credit lines: The unused amount of credit lines that allow customers to draw without prior approval by the Bank (for example, using credit cards or overdrafts in checking accounts).

 

vi.Other credit commitments: Amounts not yet lent under committed loans, which must be disbursed at an agreed future date when events contractually agreed upon with the customer occur, such as in the case of irrevocable lines of credit linked to the progress of projects, or credits for higher studies referred to in Law No. 20,027.

(u)Provisions and contingent liabilities, continued:

 

vii.Other contingent loans: Includes any other kind of commitment by the Bank which may exist and give rise to lending when certain future events occur. In general, this includes unusual transactions such as pledges made to secure the payment of loans among third parties or derivative contracts made by third parties that may result in a payment obligation and are not covered by deposits.

 

Exposure to credit risk on contingent loans:

 

In order to calculate provisions on contingent loans, as indicated in Chapter B-3 of the Accounting Standards Compendium of the CMF, the amount of exposure that must be considered shall be equivalent to the percentage of the amounts of contingent loans indicated below:

 

Type of contingent loan  Exposure 
a)  Guarantors and pledges   100%
b)  Confirmed foreign letters of credit   20%
c)  Documentary letters of credit issued   20%
d)  Guarantee deposits   50%
e)  Undrawn credit lines   35%
f)  Other loan commitments:     
-   College education loans Law No. 20,027   15%
-   Others   100%
g)  Other contingent loans   100%

  

Notwithstanding the above, when dealing with transactions performed with customers with overdue loans as indicated in Chapter B-1 of the Accounting Standards Compendium of the CMF, that exposure shall be equivalent to 100% of its contingent loans.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(v)Provisions for minimum dividends:

 

According with the Accounting Standards Compendium of the CMF, the Bank records within liabilities the portion of net income for the year that should be distributed to comply with the Corporations Law or its dividend policy. For these purposes, the Bank establishes a provision in a complementary equity account within retained earnings.

 

Distributable net income is considered for the purpose of calculating a minimum dividends provision, which is defined as that which results from reducing or adding to net income the value of price-level restatement for the concept of restatement or adjustment of paid-in capital and reserves for the year.

 

(w)Employee benefits:

 

(i)Staff accrued vacations

 

The annual costs of vacations and staff benefits are recognized on an accrual basis.

 

(ii)Short-term benefits

 

The Bank has a yearly bonus plan for its employees based on their ability to meet objectives and their individual contribution to the company’s results, consisting of a given number or portion of monthly salaries. It is provisioned for based on the estimated amount to be distributed.

 

(iii)Staff severance indemnities

 

The Bank has recorded a liability for long-term severance indemnities in accordance with employment contracts it has with certain employees. The liability, which is payable to specified retiring employees with 30 or 35 years of service, is recorded at the present value of the accrued benefits, which are calculated by applying a real discount rate to the benefit accrued as of year-end over the estimated average remaining service year.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(w)Employee benefits, continued:

 

(iii)Staff severance indemnities, continued:

 

Obligations for this defined benefits plan are valued according to the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method, using inputs such as staff turnover rates, expected salary growth in wages and probability that this benefit will be used, discounted at current long-term rates (5.50% as of September 31, 2021 and 2.31% as of December 31, 2020).

 

The discount rate used corresponds to the rate of 10-year Chilean Central Bank Bonds in pesos (BCP).

 

Losses and gains caused by changes in actuarial variables are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. There are no other additional costs that must be recognized by the Bank.

 

(x)Earnings per share:

 

The basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the net income attributed to the Bank’s owners in a period and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during that period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are determined similarly to basic earnings, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to take into account the potential dilutive effect of the options on shares, warrants and convertible debt. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 there are no concepts to adjust.

 

(y)Interest revenue and expense:

 

Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate which exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument (or a shorter period) where appropriate, to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. To calculate the effective interest rate, the Bank determines cash flows by taking into account all contractual conditions of the financial instrument, excluding future credit losses.

 

The effective interest rate calculation includes all fees and other amounts paid or received that form part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the purchase or issuance of a financial asset or liability.

 

For its impaired portfolio and high risk loans and accounts receivables from clients, the Bank has applied a conservative position of discontinuing accrual-basis recognition of interest revenue in the income statement; they are only recorded once received. In accordance with the above, suspension occurs in the following cases:

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(y)Interest revenue and expense, continued:

 

Loans with individual evaluation:

 

Loans classified in categories C5 and C6: Accrual is suspended by the sole fact of being in the impaired portfolio.
Loans classified in categories C3 and C4: The accrual is suspended after have fulfilled three months in the impaired portfolio.

 

Group evaluation loans:

 

Any credit, with the exception of those that have real guarantees that reach at least 80%: The accrual is suspended when the credit or one of its installments has reached six months of delay in its payment.

 

Notwithstanding the above, in the case of loans subject to individual evaluation, recognition of income from accrual of interest and readjustments can be maintained for loans that are being paid normally and which correspond to obligations whose cash flows are independent, as can occur in the case of project financing.

 

The suspension of recognition of revenue on an accrual basis means that, while the credits are kept in the impaired portfolio, the related assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position will increase with no interest, or fees and adjustments in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and income will not be recognized for these items, unless they are actually received.

 

(z)Fees and commissions:

 

Revenue and expenses from fees are recognized in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Income using the criteria established in IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”.

 

Under IFRS 15, revenues are recognized considering the terms of the contract with customers. Revenue is recognized when or as the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the goods or services committed to the customer.

 

Under IFRS 15, revenues are recognized using different criteria depending on their nature. The most significant are:

 

Those that correspond to a singular act, when the act that originates them takes place.
Those that originate in transactions or services that are extended over time, during the life of such transactions or services.
Commissions on loan commitments and other fees related to credit operations are deferred (together with the incremental costs directly related to the placement) and recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of the placement. In the case of loan commitments, when there is no certainty of the date of effective placement, the commissions are recognized in the period of the commitment that originates it on a linear basis.

Commissions for operations with securities: commissions for deposit and custody of securities and brokerage of securities are included.
Other commissions: commissions for collection, payments and other online services are included.

 

(aa)Identifying and measuring impairment:

 

Financial assets, different to loans to customers

 

Financial assets are reviewed throughout each year, and especially at each reporting date, to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a loss event that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably calculated.

 

An impairment loss for financial assets (different to loans to customers) recorded at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the effective interest rate original.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(aa)Identifying and measuring impairment, continued:

 

An impairment loss on a financial asset available-for-sale is calculated based on its fair value. In this case, the objective evidence includes a significant and prolonged decline, under the original investment cost in the fair value of the investment.

 

If there is evidence of impairment, any amount previously recognized in equity, net gains (losses) not recognized in the income statement, are removed from equity and recognized in the income statement for the year, presenting as net gains (losses) related to financial assets available-for-sale. This amount is determined as the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any repayment and amortization) and the current fair value of the asset, less any impairment loss on that investment that has been previously recognized in the Income Statement.

 

When the fair value of the available-for-sale debt security recovers to, at least, amortized cost, it is no longer considered impaired and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in equity.

 

All impairment losses are recognized in the incomes statement. Any cumulative loss related to available-for-sale financial assets recognized previously in equity is transferred to the incomes statement.

 

An impairment loss can only be reversed if it can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. The amount of the reversal is recorded in profit or loss up to the amount previously recognized as impairment. An impairment loss is reversed if, in a subsequent period, the fair value of the debt instrument classified as available-for-sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Principles, continued:

 

(aa)Identifying and measuring impairment, continued:

 

Non-financial assets

 

The carrying amounts of the non-financial assets of the Bank and its subsidiaries, excluding investment properties and deferred tax assets, are reviewed throughout the year and especially at each reporting date, to determine if any indication of impairment exists. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is then estimated.

 

Impairment losses recognized in prior years are assessed at each reporting date in search of any indication that the loss has decreased or disappeared. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimations used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reverted only to the extent that the book value of the asset does not exceed the carrying.

 

The Bank assesses at each reporting date and on an ongoing basis whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Bank estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the major value between fair value (less costs to sell) and its value in use. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, share prices and other available fair value indicators.

 

Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future years.

(ab)Financial and operating leases:

 

(i) The Bank acting as lessor

 

Assets leased to customers under agreements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, with or without ultimate legal title, are classified as financial lease. When assets held are subject to a finance lease, the leased assets are no longer recognized and a receivable is recognized which is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating, and arranging a finance lease are incorporated into the receivable through the discount rate applied to the lease. Finance lease income is recognized over the lease term based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the finance lease.

 

Assets leased to customers under agreements which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating lease.

 

The leased investment properties, under the operating lease modality, are included in the statement of financial position as “Other assets” 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 term.

 

(ii) The Bank acting as lessee

 

A contract is, or contains a lease, if one party has the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a regular payment.

 

On the start date of a lease, a right-to-use assets leased is determined at cost, which includes 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 rate.

 

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

 

The monthly variation of the UF for the contracts established in said monetary unit should be treated as a new measurement, therefore the UF readjustment modifies the value of the lease liability, and in parallel, the amount of the right-of-use asset must be adjusted by this effect.

 

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

 

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

(ac)Fiduciary activities:

 

The Bank provides trust and other fiduciary services that result in the holding or investing of assets on behalf of the clients. Assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not reported in the financial statements, as they are not the assets of the Bank. Contingencies and commitments arising from this activity are disclosed in Note No. 26 letter (a).

 

(ad)Customer loyalty program:

 

The Bank maintains a loyalty program to provide incentives to its customers, which allows to acquire goods and/or services, based on the exchange of prize points (“Dolares-Premio”), which are granted based on the purchases made with Bank’s credit cards and the compliance of certain conditions established in said program. The consideration for the prizes is made by a third party. In accordance with IFRS 15, these associated benefit plans have the necessary provisions to meet the delivery of committed future performance obligations.

 

(ae)Additional provisions:

 

In accordance to the CMF regulations, the banks have recorded additional allowances for its individually evaluated loan portfolio, taking into consideration the expected impairment of this portfolio. The calculation of this allowance is performed based on the Bank’s historical experience and considering possible future adverse macroeconomic conditions or circumstances that could affect a specific sector.

 

The provisions made in order to forestall the risk of macroeconomic fluctuations should anticipate situations reversal of expansionary economic cycles in the future, could translate into a worsening in the conditions of the economic environment and thus, function as a countercyclical mechanism accumulation of additional provisions when the scenario is favorable and release or assignment to specific provisions when environmental conditions deteriorate.

 

According to the above, additional provisions must always correspond to general provisions on commercial, consumer or mortgage loans, or segments identified, and in no case may be used to offset weaknesses of the models used by the Bank.

 

As of September 30, 2021 the additional provisions amounted Ch$460,252 million (Ch$320,252 million in December 2020), which are presents in the item “Provisions” of the liability in the Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. See Notes Relevant Events and Note Provisions.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

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

 

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 IASB and the CMF, which have been adopted by the Bank and its subsidiaries, are detailed below:

 

Accounting standards issued by IASB.

 

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 2 of the Benchmark Reform of Interbank Offering Rates (IBOR) and other benchmark interest rates amending 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 when making 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.

 

The Bank has been working on the transition of reference rates, implementing an action plan that includes, among other aspects, identifying the main exposures and risks related to the LIBOR transition, developing products linked to the new reference rate, adaptation of systems, reviewing of current contracts and renegotiation with some clients, which will allow us to face the challenges imposed by the changes in the reference rates.

 

IFRS 16 Leases. Extends the one-year term of Covid-19-related lease concessions.

 

In March 2021, the IASB published modifications to IFRS 16 that allow the accounting of concessions or rental facilities due to the effect of the pandemic declared by Covid-19 to be extended until June 30, 2022. The original amendment to IFRS 16 was issued in May 2020 and applied to lease contract facilities that reduce only lease payments due until June 30, 2021.

 

The implementation of this amendment did not have material impact on the Bank and its subsidiaries.

Other instructions issued by the CMF - Letters to Management.

 

Treatment of provisions and other effects of financing under the FOGAPE Reactivation program.

 

1) By letter to Management dated April 23, 2021, the CMF reported transitory measures for the exceptional treatment of loan allowances in the commercial portfolio, in order to facilitate the implementation of payment alternatives for debtors who meet certain requirements.

 

The conditions for using the flexibility measures for the treatment of allowances are:

 

-Fully evaluate the financial and credit condition of the debtors who will be eligible for the granting of the flexibilization conditions. It is not allowed to include debtors in default in accordance with the regulations.
-Debtors who are up to date or have a default of no more than 30 days at the time of rescheduling.
-Grace periods or postponement credits, of this measure or another, may not add up to more than 6 consecutive months.
-Have special consideration with those debtors who have availed themselves of previous postponement measures, and must have demonstrated a good behavior in the payment of their installments during the period between postponements.

 

In the case of grace periods or postponement credits, and depending on the methodology used in accounting for provisions (standard or internal method) for the group portfolio, the computation of arrears and the expected loss parameters will remain constant until that the payment system is normalized. Once the payment deferral period has elapsed and if the debtor does not pay the next obligation to be due, it must be recognized in the next installment of default to the one found in the standard matrix or in the corresponding provision model at the time of flexibilization in order to recognize their credit risk.

 

In the case of debtors evaluated on an individual basis, their risk category will be maintained at the time of rescheduling until the payment regime is normalized, which does not prevent that for the grace periods and deferral credit from being reclassified to the corresponding category, in the event of signs of worsening in the debtor’s ability to pay and other variables considered in the internal methods.

 

Postponements or rescheduling, in its different modalities, including those that allow to lower the financial burden of the debtors, as long as they comply with the indicated conditions, will not be considered forced renegotiations and therefore, will not lead to the classification of said debtors in default.

 

The validity of the exceptional period for the treatment of provisions is until July 31, 2021.

 

48

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

2) By letter to Management dated August 13, 2021, the CMF established that considering that the Regulation was modified by Supreme Decree No. 254 dated June 26, 2021, allowing guaranteed financing to companies that file up to 89 days past due, to the extent that its annual sales are less than 25,000 UF, and may also contemplate grace periods, it is considered essential to distinguish the prudential treatment applicable to those operations that are granted under such conditions.

 

To determine the provisions of the amounts guaranteed by FOGAPE Reactivation applicable to those financing operations granted by banks under the new conditions indicated in the Regulations, the following treatment of provisions was established:

 

To determine the provisions for the amounts guaranteed by FOGAPE Reactivation, banks may consider substituting the credit quality of the debtors for that of FOGAPE, for all types of financing indicated, up to the amount covered by the referred guarantee. Naturally, the option to consider the risk attributable to FOGAPE may be made while said guarantee is in force, without considering the capitalized interest, as provided in article 17 of the Regulations.

 

Likewise, for the computation of the provisions of the amount not covered by the guarantee, corresponding to the debtors, the treatment must be differentiated according to the level of arrears of the refinanced loan and the grace period, which must consider the cumulative consecutive months of grace between the refinanced credit and other previous measures. For this purpose, the following situations should be considered:

 

-Refinancing with less than 60 days past due and less than 180 days of grace.

 

When the institution granting the refinancing is the current creditor, depending on the methodology used in accounting for provisions (standard or internal method) for the group portfolio, the computation of the default and the expected loss parameters will remain constant at the time of refinancing, as long as no payment is required.

 

In the case of debtors evaluated on an individual basis, their risk category will be maintained at the time of rescheduling, which does not prevent them from being reclassified to the corresponding category, due to a worsening of their payment capacity.

 

-Refinancing between 60 and 89 days past due or grace periods greater than 180 days and less than 360 days.

 

The guidelines established in the previous point will be applied, and at least one of the following conditions must also be met:

 

i.The bank in its credit granting policies consider at least the following aspects:

 

a.A robust procedure for the categorization of viable debtors, which take into account at least the sector and its solvency and liquidity situation.
b.Efficient mechanisms for monitoring the debtor’s situation, with formally defined internal governance.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

ii.Interest is charged in the months of grace, in accordance with the guidelines established in letter a) of Article 15 of the Regulations, or there is a demand for payment in another credit with the bank. In the latter case, if non-compliance is observed, the carry-over rules contained in numerals 2.2 and 3.2 of Chapter B-1 of the CNC must be considered, depending on whether it is a loan subject to individual or group evaluation, respectively.

 

-Refinances with grace periods of more than 360 days.

 

The bank must apply the provisions established in Chapter B-1 of the CNC, considering the operation as forced renegotiation and, therefore, apply the provisions that correspond to the portfolio in default.

 

Other regulations adopted.

 

Law No. 21,320

 

On April 20, 2021, Law No. 21,320 that modifies consumer protection law (Law No. 19,496), prohibiting and limiting certain extrajudicial debt collection actions was enacted. Among other matters, this new law (i) limits the number and type of out-of-court collection measures, (ii) requires keeping detailed records of such actions up to two years after they have been initiated, and (iii) prohibits continuing with out-of-court collection actions once a collection has been initiated in court.

 

In the Bank’s opinion, this legislation could affect its ability to recover non-performing loans from the loan portfolio granted to individuals and SMEs, affect portfolio expenses, as well as increase collection costs.

 

Law No. 21,342

 

On June 1, 2021, Law No. 21,342 was published in the Official Newspaper, which established the obligation to implement an occupational health safety protocol for the gradual and safe return of employees to their workplace within the framework of the health alert decreed on the occasion of the Covid-19 disease. The aforementioned law established, among other matters, the obligation to contract mandatory insurance in favor of employees who carry out their work in-person, to finance or reimburse the costs of hospitalization and rehabilitation of the employees associated with the Covid-19 disease, in the terms and scope indicated in said standard. The implementation of this law had no material impact for the Bank and its subsidiaries.

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, 2021, 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.

 

The Bank 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 costs include those that are directly related to the contract and may be costs incremental performance of that contract (for example, direct labor and materials), or an allocation of other costs that are directly related to the performance of contracts (for example, the allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment used to fulfill the contract).

 

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

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement No. 2. Accounting Policy Disclosures.

 

In February 2021, the IASB published amendments to IAS 1 to require companies to disclose material information on accounting policies, the foregoing in order to improve the disclosures of their accounting policies and provide useful information to investors and other users of financial statements.

 

To help entities apply the amendments to IAS 1, the Board also amended IFRS Practice Statement No. 2 to illustrate how an entity can judge whether accounting policy information is material to its financial statements.

 

The amendments to IAS 1 will be effective for Financial Statement presentation periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted. If an entity applies those amendments to prior periods, it must disclose that fact.

 

The application of this amendment will not generate material impacts on the disclosure of accounting policies in the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. Definition of Accounting Estimate.

 

In February 2021, the IASB incorporated changes to the definition of accounting estimates contained in IAS 8, the amendments to IAS are intended to help entities distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies.

 

The amendments to IAS 8 will be effective for Financial Statement presentation periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early application is permitted.

 

The application of this amendment will not have an impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

IAS 12 Income Tax.

 

In May 2021 the IASB published amendments to IAS 12, to specify how companies should account for deferred taxes on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.

 

IAS 12 Income Tax specifies how a company accounts for income tax, including deferred tax, which represents tax to be paid or recovered in the future. In certain circumstances, companies are exempt from recognizing deferred taxes when they first recognize assets or liabilities. Prior to the amendment, there was some uncertainty as to whether the exemption applied to transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations, transactions for which companies recognize both an asset and a liability.

 

The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognize deferred taxes on such transactions. The purpose of the amendments is to reduce the diversity in reporting deferred tax on leases and decommissioning obligations.

The modifications are effective for the periods of presentation of the Financial Statements that begin as of January 1, 2023, early application is allowed.

 

The implementation of this amendment will have no material impact on the Bank and its subsidiaries.

 

Accounting standards issued by the CMF.

 

Amends Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks.

 

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 seek achieve greater 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.

 

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.

3.New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

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.

 

On October 7, the CMF issued Circular No. 2,295, which updates the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Banks (CNCB) that is in force from 2022 and introduces various adjustments to the files of the Information System Manual.

 

In this way, the accounting information necessary to agree the Financial Statements with the full implementation of Basel III is incorporated, in addition to making some clarifications in its instructions, arising both from the internal analysis and from inquiries received from actors of the banking system.

 

Likewise, this Circular adds a term to implement the criterion for grouping debtors whose aggregate exposure must be measured jointly, established in literal i) of No. 3 of Chapter B-1, which must be considered as of January 1 July 2022.

 

Regarding the modifications introduced in files, tables and form of the Manual of the Information System for Banks, they must be considered based on the information referred to the month of January 2022, which will be sent during the month of February 2022.

 

The Bank and its subsidiaries have structured an implementation project and have established various Committees to ensure its proper execution. All this in order to comply with the new standards required for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Statements. The application of the rule of suspension of the recognition of interest and UF indexation on an accrual basis after 90 days of default will not have a significant impact on the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The new Law adopts the international standards in banking regulation and supervision.

 

On March 30, 2020, the CMF reported that, in coordination with the Central Bank of Chile, it 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.

 

On December 1, 2020, the CMF finalized the process of issuing the necessary regulations for the implementation of the new capital framework. The culmination of this regulatory process, which began with the first standard in public consultation in August 2019, represents a relevant step in strengthening the solvency and stability of the financial system. The new capital framework will allow for a more solid and robust banking system, a fundamental condition to face the impacts of the economic downturn with better tools.

 

The new standards, in addition to demanding higher levels of capitalization from banks, governance and information to the market; facilitate access to new and better sources of financing; harmonize the requirements between subsidiaries of foreign banks and local banks; and they contribute to the internationalization process of Chilean banking.

 

As of the date of issuance of these Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the CMF has issued the following circulars related to the Basel III regulations:

 

Circular 2,270. Issued on September 11, 2020, the CMF issued the standard that sets the general criteria and guidelines for the determination of additional equity requirements as a result of the supervision process, called Pillar 2.

 

This standard updates Chapter 1-13 “Management and solvency classification” and introduces the new Chapter 21-13 “Evaluation of the adequacy of effective equity of banks” to the RAN.

 

This standard also establishes that the effective equity self-assessment report to be submitted by banks during 2021 will be based only on credit risk, and the one for 2022 will additionally incorporate market and operational risks. As of 2023, the report with all its sections will be required, considering all the material risks of the institution.

 

Circular No. 2,272. September 25, 2020, the CMF published the regulations that define the operating procedures for the calculation, implementation and supervision of additional capital charges, known as capital buffers (Conservation Buffer and a Countercyclical Buffer).

 

This rule incorporates Chapter 21-12 “Additional basic capital, articles 66 bis and 66 ter of the LGB” into the RAN.

 

This rule establishes that, 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.

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.

 

Circular No. 2,276. On November 2, 2020, the CMF, with the prior favorable agreement of the Central Bank of Chile, established the dispositions that have as a reference framework the evaluation methodology established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and international practice, considered for the identification and treatment of banks classified as systemically important at the local level. It incorporates into the RAN Chapter 21-11 “Factors and methodology for banks or group of banks rated as systemically important and requirements that may be imposed as a result of this rating”.

 

The requirements derived from the first application may be gradually established. The initial charge in December 2021 will be 0% and will increase by 25% each year until reaching the regime in December 2025.

These regulations came into effect on December 1, 2020, the date on which banks determined the level of capital AT1 and T2 that is applicable, in accordance with the provisions of the regulations.

 

During the first year of application, subordinated bonds and voluntary provisions may be computed as equivalent to AT1 instruments, with a limit of 1.5% of the RWA net of required provisions. From December 1, 2021, the substitution limit will progressively decrease (by 0.5%) to reach 0% in 4 years.

If this does not happen, the contracts will be automatically extended once for a period of one year from January 1, 2024 to January 1, 2025. The same renewal procedure may be used in the future as many times agreed by the parties.

 

Along with the above and on the same date, the Bank and Citigroup lnc. signed a modification to the Global Connectivity Agreement and an Amended and Restated Master Services Agreement, agreeing that the term of the latter will be the same as that established in the Cooperation Agreement referred to in the previous paragraph. The Board of Directors of the Bank, in session No. BCH 2,952 of August 26, 2021, approved the extension, modification and subscription of the aforementioned contracts, in the terms provided in articles 146 and following of the Public Limited Companies Law.

 

i)In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic declared in March 2020 by the World Health Organization (“WHO”), this year, on March 13, 2021 the Government of Chile decided on June 25, 2021 to extend the State of Constitutional Exception, thus allowing maintaining a series of sanitary measures, including mobility restrictions and quarantines in the national territory. Subsequently, on September 30, 2021, the authority put an end to the Constitutional State of Exception, which has allowed a gradual opening of the activity by allowing higher levels of mobility and capacity. Additionally, the mass vaccination plan has continued in order to mitigate and control the spread of the pandemic. As of the date of issuance of these Financial Statements, more than 89% of the target population has completed their vaccination process, also beginning from the month of August the process of inoculation of a booster dose.

 

The Government and the Central Bank of Chile have maintained countercyclical measures, which have contributed to a gradual recovery in activity. At the fiscal level, the government has implemented direct measures that exceed 9 points of GDP, which has been complemented by indirect measures (including resources to finance Fogape-Covid credits and the employment protection law, among others) that mobilize resources for a similar amount. On February 3, 2021, Law No. 21,307 was published in the official newspaper, which modifies the Guarantee Fund for Small and Medium-sized Entrepreneurs (Fogape) in order to promote the reactivation and recovery of the economy, which modifies the Decree Law No. 3,472, of 1980, of the Ministry of Finance, which creates the Guarantee Fund for Small Entrepreneurs (Reactive Fogape). Since the beginning of the program and until September 30, 2021, the Bank has carried out 25,213 operations for an aggregate amount of Ch$1,234,501 million.

5.Relevant Events, continued:

 

For its part, the Central Bank of Chile has maintained a series of unconventional measures, among which the establishment of the Loan Increase Conditional Credit Facility program (FCIC by its Spanish initials) a special financial line for banking companies complemented with the activation of a “Liquidity Credit Line” (LCL) and purchases of bonds in the financial market, among others. As of September 30, 2021, the Bank has made use of these financing facilities for an amount of Ch$4,348,400 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$3,629,716 million, corresponding to commercial placements of the individual portfolio of high credit quality for Ch$2,619,901 million, and securities of fixed income for an approximate amount of Ch$1,009,815 million. In the case of the LCL, the guarantee provided corresponds to the reserve held by the Bank.

 

Additionally, the National Congress approved three reforms to the Political Constitution of the Republic that allowed withdrawals of up to 10% of the resources available in the individual capitalization accounts, which allowed an aggregate withdrawal equivalent to approximately US$47,791 million, a situation that has brought pressure on prices of goods and services, increase in long-term interest rates, increase in liquidity levels for natural and legal persons, and decrease in delinquency levels in the banking industry. As of the date of publication of the financial statements, an additional withdrawal of pension funds is being discussed in the National Congress. As a result of the significant increase in inflation levels, the Central Bank has recently accelerated the withdrawal of monetary stimulus by increasing the monetary policy rate significantly.

 

Even though the impact of the pandemic on our operating results has been significant and its effects will persist even over time, its magnitude will depend on the duration and depth of the effects of the pandemic, as well as the impact on structural variables, including the trend growth of the economy, increase in investment and employment levels. Additionally, in accordance with the current policy on the matter, the Bank has established additional incremental provisions for Ch$140,000 million during this fiscal year, thus totaling Ch$460,252 million as of September 30, 2021.

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.

 

Provisions for credit risk are determined at the customer level based on the characteristics of each of their operations. In the case of additional provisions, these are assigned to the different business segments based on the credit risk weighted assets that each segment has

 

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, 2021 and 2020 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

 

   September   December 
   2021   2020 
   MCh$   MCh$ 
Hedge element        
Commercial loans   3,472    5,031 
Corporate bonds   2,954    29,508 
           
Hedge instrument          
Cross currency swap   3,472    5,031 
Interest rate swap   2,954    29,508 

 

(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 impact the item “Interest Revenue” of the Income Financial Statements.

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).

(e)Other comprehensive income:

 

This item includes the following concepts:

 

The adjustment of cash flow hedge derivatives comprises the portion of income recorded in equity resulting from changes in fair value due to changes in market factors. During the period 2021 it was made a credit to equity for Ch$198,321 million (charge to equity of Ch$17,075 million in 2020). The income tax effect presented a charge to equity of Ch$53,546 million (credit of Ch$4,610 million in September 2020).

 

The valuation adjustment of investments available for sale originates from fluctuations in the fair value of such portfolio, with a charge or credit to equity. During the period 2021, it was made a charge to equity for Ch$117,098 million (charge of Ch$1,397 million during the year 2020). The deferred tax effect meant a credit to equity of Ch$4,359 million (credit to equity of Ch$378 million in September 2020).

 

(f)Retained earnings from previous years:

 

During the year 2021, the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting of the Bank agreed to deduct and withhold from the 2020 liquid income, an amount equivalent to the value effect of the monetary unit of paid capital and reserves according to the variation in the Consumer Price Index, which occurred between November 2019 and November 2020, amounting to Ch$95,989 million. Additionally, the Board determined to withhold 40% of the distributable net income, which was equivalent to Ch$146,848 million.

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities:

 

The Bank 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, Treasury and Capital 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, the Bank 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.

 

132

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

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 the Bank 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 the Bank (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 interest rates is executed daily, in order to control that the market parameters used by the Bank 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 areas, 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 the Bank, 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:

 

The Bank 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 Chilean 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.

 

134

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

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.

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 of determining 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 reasonable, taking into account the market performance of these instruments and comparing it against the bid / offer adjustment that is provisioned by these instruments.

(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.

 

Investment Instruments Until Maturity: The fair value is calculated with the methodology of the Stock Exchange, using the market IRR observed in the market. Because the instruments that are in this category correspond to Treasury Bonds that are Benchmark, they are classified in Level 1.

 

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.

(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 the Bank 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.
