SECTION 1: SUMMARY OF RESULTS AND STRATEGY

Distributable net income: 2008 historical net income which does not reflect new IFRS accounting standards, but is net income that can be distributed as dividends.

Restated net income: 2008 net income re-stated to reflect the adoption of new accounting standards in 2009.

Operating income up 18.6% YoY in 1Q09

In 1Q09, net income attributable to shareholders totaled Ch$76,652 million (Ch$0.41 per share and US$0.72/ADR).

Operating income increased 18.6% compared to 1Q08 (from now on YoY). Net interest income was flat YoY and totaled Ch$187,273 million in the quarter. The negative inflation rates in the quarter placed pressure on the net interest margin as the Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation. As a result, in 1Q09, the Bank’s net interest margin reached 4.8% compared to 5.6% in 1Q08. The effects of lower inflation on margins were offset by the 16.6% YoY increase in average loans coupled with our continued focus on spreads. As a result, client net interest income, that is net interest income generated by our commercial areas, increased 11.3% YoY in 1Q09.

The impact of negative inflation on results was also offset with the Bank’s proactive management of the asset and funding mix. In 4Q08, the Bank increased its bond portfolio, which is comprised mainly of liquid and low risk Chilean Central Bank bonds, in anticipation of lower inflation and interest rate levels in 1Q09, and as a way to hedge our results in this scenario. As the economy slowed and inflation dropped, interest rates decreased sharply. As a consequence, the results from financial transactions, net increased 415.1% YoY in 1Q09.

Net fee income increased 5.2% YoY in 1Q09 and was led by a rise in fees from checking accounts and card fees. Fees from checking accounts and lines of credit grew 15.3% YoY in the quarter. Santander is the leader in the checking account market with 630,000 accounts and 27.0% of the market. Fees from credit, debit and ATM cards increased 6.8% YoY. In the banking credit card business, Santander, with 33.5% of the credit card accounts, generated 36.3% of all purchases in 1Q09 compared to 35.3% in 1Q08. In the ATM market, Santander, with approximately 30% of the ATMs installed in the country, generated 41% of the total transactions in 2008.

Provision expense up 48% YoY in 1Q09

In 1Q09, the Bank’s net provision expense increased 48.0% YoY. This rise was driven mainly by the increase in charge-offs, in line with the economic slowdown. As a result of this ongoing effort, the Bank has been able to keep relatively stable asset quality indicators in spite of the more difficult operational environment. The expected loan loss ratio or risk index (Loan loss allowances / Total loans) reached 2.01% as of March 2009 compared to 1.88% at year-end 2008 and 1.90% as of March 2009. This is a key asset quality indicator as it determines the bank’s required level of reserves and provisions. The Bank is required to set provisions according to it and to have 100% coverage of its risk index. The past due loan ratio (Unpaid loans & installments >90 days / Total loans) as of March 2009 reached 1.21% compared to 1.10% in 4Q 08 and 1.09% in March 2008. The coverage of past due loans (Loan loss allowance / Past due loans) reached 166.2% as of March 2009.

Operating income net of provisions increases 10.0% YoY in 1Q09

In summary, operating income, net of provision expense, increased 10.0% YoY in 1Q09. The strategy of focusing on selective loan growth, improving funding and spreads, strengthening capital, and actively managing the balance sheet offset the negative effects of deflation and rising credit risks.

Ch$bn	1Q09		YoY Chg.
Client net interest income	248			11.3	%
Fee income	62			5.2	%
Core client revenue	310			10.1	%
Non-client net int. income	(61	)		75.0	%
Financial transactions + other op. income	71			205.1	%
Operating income	320			18.6	%
Provision expense	(91	)		48.0	%
Operating income net of prov.	229			10.0	%

Cost kept under control. Efficiency ratio improves to 34.5% in 1Q 09

The growth rate of operating expenses was curbed in the quarter. Operating expenses increased 2.8% YoY in 1Q09 compared to the 18.6% rise in operating income. As a result, the efficiency ratio reached 34.5% in 1Q09, improving from 36.6% in 1Q08. We have the highest level of efficiency among the larger banks in Chile and among the best in emerging markets.

Santander Chile adopts international accounting standards

In 2009, the Bank adopted accounting standards in line with international standards (IFRS). Historical figures in the rest of this report have been re-stated to make them more comparable. The main difference compared to previous accounting standards was the elimination of price level restatement, a non cash expense related to the level of inflation. Compared to re-stated net income, 1Q09 net income decreased 10.9% YoY. For a more detail description of the changes made to 2008 figures, please see Annexes 4-7.

ROAE reached 20.2% in 1Q 09

On a comparable distributable basis, that is, compared to the historical net income distributable as dividends and not restated to account for new accounting standards, net income attributable to shareholders was up 1.3% YoY. The Bank’s ROAE in the quarter reached 20.2%.

Focus on selective loan growth. Loan volumes negatively affected by translation losses

The Bank continued with its approach to selective loan growth given the more difficult economic environment. In addition, loan volumes were negatively affected during the quarter by the translation loss produced by the deflation (-2.3%) and appreciation of the peso against the US$ (7.5%). As a consequence, total loans decreased 4.1% QoQ and increased 12.6% YoY. Adjusting for translation losses, total loan volumes decreased approximately 2.4% QoQ and increased 14.6% YoY.

email: rmorenoh@santander.cl

In the retail side, total loans to individuals decreased 1.8% QoQ and increased 8.9% YoY. The growth of lending to individual was focused mainly on the middle-upper income segments, which increased 2.5% QoQ and 31.7% YoY. In the mass consumer market volumes decreased 10.4% QoQ and 25.3% YoY. Lending to SMEs decreased 3.5% QoQ and increased 8.4% YoY. Lending to the middle market decreased 5.8% QoQ and increased 8.4% YoY. Corporate loans decreased 20.5% QoQ and increased 10.4% YoY. This outcome was a result, among other things, due to the translations losses produced by the deflationary environment and the appreciation of the Chilean peso.

The loan to deposit and capital ratios remains healthy at 96.5% in 1Q09

As of March 31, 2009, Santander Chile’s loan to deposit ratio (excluding the portion of mortgage loans funded through bonds) reached a healthy 96.5% in 1Q09. As of March 2009, 70% of our total liabilities were core funds (defined as retail deposits, long-term institutional deposits and long-term bonds). This clearly reflects our strategic objective of maintaining healthy liquidity and a strong funding base.

The Bank’s credit risk rating were upgraded in the quarter

The Bank credit risk ratings were improved in the quarter by Moody’s, following their upgrade of Chile’s sovereign ratings. The Bank deposits rating were improved from A2 to A1, senior debt rating was improved from Aa3 to Aa2. Subordinated debt rating was unchanged at Aa3. Both the senior and subordinated debt ratings pierced the sovereign ceilings, making Santander Chile the highest rated company in Latin America.

Excludes allowance for loan losses and interbank loans

The Bank continued with its approach to selective loan growth, given the more difficult economic environment. In addition, loan volumes were negatively affected during the quarter by the translation loss produced by the deflation (-2.3%) and appreciation of the peso against the US$ (7.5%). As a consequence, total loans decreased 4.1% QoQ and increased 12.6% YoY. Adjusting for translation losses, total loan volumes decreased approximately 2.4% QoQ and increased 14.6% YoY.

On the retail side, total loans to individuals decreased 1.8% QoQ and increased 8.9% YoY. In terms of products, consumer loans decreased 2.7% QoQ and have increased 1.4% YoY. Residential mortgage lending has decreased 1.3% QoQ and increased 13.7% YoY. Adjusting for deflation, residential mortgage loans have expanded by 0.9% QoQ and 16.3% YoY. The growth of lending to individual was focused mainly on the middle-upper income segments, which increased 2.5% QoQ and 31.7% YoY, representing 56.4% of total lending to individuals compared to 48% in 1Q08. In the mass consumer market volumes decreased 10.4% QoQ and 25.3% YoY.

On the corporate side, lending volumes were also affected by the negative inflation and the appreciation of the currency. Loans to SMEs decreased 3.5% QoQ and increased 8.4% YoY. Lending to the middle market decreased 5.8% QoQ and increased 8.4% YoY. Corporate loans decreased 20.5% QoQ and increased 10.4% YoY. As stated in our latest earning report, the Bank experienced strong loan growth in the corporate sectors during 4Q08, as alternative sources of borrowing were constrained both internationally and locally. In 1Q09, this situation began to normalize with an important rise in local bond issues and a normalization of spreads. The Bank has kept its focus on profitability throughout this period and continues to be centered on the whole pool of revenues generated by these clients, which to a large extent comes from non-lending activities.

FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Financial investments	Quarter						Change %
(Ch$ million)	Mar-09		Dec-08 (restated)		Mar-08 (restated)		Mar. 09 / 08			Mar. 09 / Dec. 08
Financial assets held for trading		940,357		1,166,426		715,729		31.4	%		(19.4	)%
Available-for-sale financial assets		1,276,382		1,580,240		1,457,900		(12.5	)%		(19.2	)%
Total financial investments		2,216,739		2,746,666		2,173,629		2.0	%		(19.3	)%

The financial investment portfolio decreased 19.3% QoQ and increased 2.0% YoY in 1Q09. The Bank’s fixed income portfolio is comprised mainly of liquid Chilean Central Bank bonds. In 4Q08, the Bank increased its bond portfolio: (1) as a source of liquidity after a strong inflow of deposits and the tightening of lending and (2) in anticipation of lower inflation and interest rate levels in 1Q09, as a way to hedge our results in that scenario. As interest rates decreased and financial markets improved, the Bank sold fixed income instruments. At the same time, the negative inflation rates in the quarter also had a positive effect on the unrealized gains from the mark-to-market of our fixed income securities portfolio.

FUNDING

Stable evolution of customer funds

Customer funds	Quarter									Change %
(Ch$ million)	Mar-09			Dec-08 (restated)			Mar-08 (restated)			Mar. 09 / 08			Mar. 09 / Dec. 08

Time deposits		8,677,857			9,756,266			8,407,623			3.2	%		(11.1	)%
Total customer deposits		11,769,867			12,706,023			11,180,191			5.3	%		(7.4	)%
Mutual funds		3,085,227			2,199,222			2,669,438			15.6	%		40.3	%
Total customer funds		14,855,094			14,905,245			13,849,629			7.3	%		(0.3	)%
Loans / Deposits*		96.5	%		93.9	%		91.4	%

* (Loans - - marketable securities that fund mortgage portfolio) / (Time deposits + demand deposits)

Customer funds remained stable QoQ and increased 7.3% YoY. In 1Q09, as financial markets in Chile started to normalize following the higher volatility of 4Q08, the Bank liberated some of its excess liquidity position. In order to do so, it reduced its most expensive time deposits and funneled those funds to money market funds which generate a higher spread for the Bank via fee income. The reduction in interest rates also explains the shift of client funds from time deposits to short-term fixed income mutual funds. As a consequence, time deposits decreased 11.1% QoQ and mutual funds under management rose 40.3% QoQ. The Bank’s balance of non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 4.8% QoQ and 11.5% YoY and the average balance of demand deposits decreased 1.9% QoQ and increased 5.2% YoY.

As of March 31, 2009, Santander Chile’s loan to deposit ratio (excluding portion of mortgage loan funded through bonds) reached a healthy 96.5% at March 2009. At the same date, 70% of our total liabilities were core funds (defined as retail deposits, long-term institutional deposits and long-term bonds). This clearly reflects our strategic objective of maintaining healthy liquidity and a strong funding base.

The Bank’s capitalization ratios improved in the quarter. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s BIS ratio reached a solid level of 15.0% with a Tier I ratio of 11.0%. It is important to point out, that voting common shareholders’ equity is the sole component of our Tier I capital. This is in line with our strategic objective of focusing on liquidity, funding and capital. Shareholders’ equity totaled Ch$1,543,040 million (US$2.6 billion) as of March 31, 2009. ROAE in 1Q09 reached 20.2%. In 2009, and in line with IFRS standards being adopted by Chilean banks, the Bank’s year-end 2008 equity was restated. The main changes were: (i) the restatement for 2008 earnings, in which the main impact will be the reversal of 2008 price level restatement and (ii) the revaluation of fixed assets. This has an impact of Ch$87,042 million charged directly against equity on January 1, 2009. For a detailed description of the impacts of IFRS on equity please see Annexes 4-7.

1.	Client net interest income and margins, is net interest income (and margins) generated by our commercial areas.

2.	Non-client net interest income is net interest income generated by centralized activities, non-segmented portions of the balance sheet and Financial Management.

3.	Annualized.

4.	Inflation measured as the variation of the Unidad de Fomento in the quarter.

In 1Q09 net interest income was flat YoY. The negative inflation rates in the quarter placed pressure on the Bank’s net interest margin, as the Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation. As a result, the Bank’s net interest margin reached 4.8% in the quarter compared to 5.6% in 1Q08. The effects of lower inflation on margins were offset by the 16.6% YoY increase in average loans coupled with our continued focus on spreads.

In order to understand the underlying trends of our net interest income, we break these revenues between Client net interest income, which is net interest income (and margins) generated by our commercial areas, and Non-client interest income.

Client net interest income. Client net interest income increased 11.3% YoY in 1Q09. This growth was led by the 16.3% YoY increase in average loans. In the quarter, the Bank continued to focus on increasing spreads to defend profitability and margins in a negative inflationary environment. Compared to our main competitors, the Bank maintains the highest margins and experienced the lowest YoY reduction in net interest income in the period. This positive evolution of client net interest income was partially offset by growth in the less riskier, but lower yielding corporate and high-end individual segments and a lower spread earned over the Bank’s equity and free funds as interest rates descended.

Non-Client net interest income. Non-client net interest income, which is net interest income generated by centralized activities, non-segmented portions of the balance sheet and Financial Management - totaled a loss of Ch$60,615 million increasing 75.0% YoY. The QoQ rise of this loss was mainly due to the negative inflation rate in the quarter. The Bank maintains long-term assets (mainly medium and long-term financial investments) that are denominated in Unidades de Fomento (UFs), an inflation indexed unit, which are partially funded with nominal or non-interest bearing peso short-term deposits. Deflation has a negative impact on net interest income and margins as the Bank maintains a positive gap between assets and liabilities indexed to inflation. This situation was partially offset by client activities and an active management of the asset and liability mix. The negative inflation rates in the quarter hurt margins, but on the other hand, had a positive effect on the realized and unrealized gains from the mark-to-market of our fixed income securities portfolio that had been increased to hedge our results in anticipation of lower inflation levels. The reduction of our fixed income portfolio also reduced our positive UF gap and, therefore, the impact of deflation on margins (See Financial investments and the results from Financial transactions, net).

The 19.3% QoQ decrease in net interest income was mainly due to the lower quarterly inflation rates and the negative impact over the profitability of our free funds in a lower rate environment.

In 1Q09, the Bank’s net provision expense increased 48.0% YoY. This rise was driven mainly by the increase in charge-offs caused by the economic slowdown. By loan product, the most important rise in net provision expense was in the commercial loan portfolio. The expected loss of this portfolio has been rising, following various years of low credit risk and provisioning levels.

In 1Q09, the Bank continued to focus loan growth in lower risk segments in order to reduce the growth of this expense. Spreads have also been increased to cover for this higher requirement and the Bank continues with its aggressive charge-off policy to maintain healthy asset quality indicators. At the same time, during 1Q09 the Bank implemented a series of additional measures to control asset quality. The weighting of recoveries and other preventive measures to control asset quality in commercial teams’ variable incentives has been increased to around 50%. Commercial teams at the branch level are now responsible for the performing portion of their loan book and the first 89 days of their non-performing portfolios. Previously, commercial teams were only directly involved in the collection process in the initial 30 days of non-performance and for then on NPLs were managed by the collections department. Despite these measures, we still believe there is a risk that asset quality will further deteriorate and provision expense will continue to expand.

The expected loan loss ratio or risk index (Loan loss allowances / Total loans), which is a ratio that measures how much the Bank expects to loose on its loan book according to its internal models and the Superintendency of Banks of Chile guidelines, reached 2.01% as of March 2009 compared to 1.88% at year-end 2008 and 1.90% as of March 2009. This is a key asset quality indicator as it determines the bank’s required level of reserves and provisions. The Bank is required to have 100% coverage of its risk index.

Concerning other risk metrics, the past due loan ratio (Unpaid loans & installments >90 days / Total loans) as of March 2009 reached 1.21% compared to 1.10% in 4Q 08 and 1.09% in March 2008. The coverage of past due loans (Loan loss allowance / Past due loans) reached 166.2% as of March 2009.

In 2009, and in line with IFRS standards, banks will publish an additional asset quality indicator, Non-performing Loans (NPLs), that includes not only the overdue portion of a loan, but also the entire performing balance and future interest payments. This new definition does not affect the Bank’s provisioning levels, which are determined by the expected loss indicators, as discussed. As of March 2009, the ratio of NPLs to total loans reached 2.81%. The coverage of NPLs - measured as Loan loss reserves plus equity over NPLs - reached 471.7% in 1Q09.

Note: NPL figures for 2008 are estimated based on Spanish GAAP definitions.

Total fees		61,631		62,102		58,595		5.2	%	(0.8	)%

Net fee income increased 5.2% YoY in 1Q09. The YoY grow of fees was led by a rise in fees from checking accounts and card fees. Fees from checking accounts and lines of credit increased 15.3% YoY in the quarter. Santander is the leader in the checking account market with 630,000 accounts and 27.0% of the market. Fee income from lines of credit is expected to decline throughout 2009 due to regulatory changes that prohibits certain fees charged for unauthorized overdrafts commencing in 2Q09.

Fees from credit, debit and ATM cards increased 6.8% YoY. The usage of electronic means of payments continues to steadily grow in Chile, especially the usage of credit cards and ATMs. In the banking credit card business, Santander, with 33.5% of the credit card accounts, generated 36.3% of all purchases in 1Q09 compared to 35.3% in 1Q08. In the ATM market, Santander, with approximately 30% of the ATMs installed in the country, generated 41% of the total transactions in 2008. The Bank’s market share in acquisitions using debit cards reached 24.1% in 1Q09. Going forward there will be regulatory changes limiting fees charged on purchases made in installments using credit cards.

The change to IFRS has an important change in the level of collection fees. The Bank must now consolidate its outsourced collection entities and the income earned from collection fees they charged for recovering loans is now consolidated into the Bank (as well as the operating costs of these companies and headcount). Collection fees in 1Q09 totaled Ch$15,365 million, decreasing 0.3% YoY. The main driver of fee growth in this line item is the collection of loan insurance policies on behalf of third parties.

Fees from guarantees, pledges and other contingent operations increased 63.1% YoY, mainly driven by growth of fees from stand-by letters of credit.

Asset management fees decreased 14.1% YoY in the quarter mainly due to the shift in the mix of funds managed away from higher yielding equity funds to lower yielding money market funds. Compared to 4Q08, fees from asset management were up 5.0% as funds under management increased 40.3% QoQ, reflecting the recovery of both equity and money market funds, following the sharp decline experienced in 4Q08.

Insurance brokerage fees decreased 4.9% YoY in 1Q09. The lower growth of retail lending negatively affects the brokerage of property and casualty insurance.

Fees securities brokerage and custody increased 29.3% QoQ as security brokerage fees recovered following a sharp decline in volumes traded in 4Q08. Despite this recovery, security brokerage volumes are still below 1Q08 levels and hence, the 15.6% YoY decline in this fee item.

Other fees which totaled Ch$1,306 million were negatively affected by a one-time fees expense of Ch$700 million recognized in the quarter.

*	Operating expenses / Operating income. Operating income = Net interest income + Net fee income+ Financial transactions net + other operating income and expenses.

The growth rate of operating expenses was curbed in the quarter. In 1Q09, the efficiency ratio reached 34.5% compared to 36.0% in 4Q08 and 1Q08. Operating expenses increased 2.8% YoY in 1Q09. Personnel expenses increased 1.1% YoY in 1Q09. This positive evolution of personnel expenses was mainly due to the deceleration of inflation and lower variable incentives.

The growth rate of administrative expenses was also controlled in the quarter, as the Bank has been limiting the opening of new branches. Administrative expenses in 1Q09 increased 9.0% YoY. The rise was mainly due to higher rent that adjusts with yearly inflation rates which as of March was approximately 5%. Since approximately 1/3 of the Bank’s branches have been opened in the past three years, there is still ample room to sustain growth and improve efficiency by maximizing profitability of the existing network. As of March 2009, the Bank’s distribution network totaled 501 offices (including the branches of the sales force and collections services) and decreased 1.2% compared to year-end 2008. The ATM network decreased 1.5% QoQ, totaling 1,929 ATMs.

The 415.1% YoY increase in the net results from financial transactions was mainly due to higher realized gains from the available for sale fixed income portfolio and realized and unrealized gains from the financial assets held for trading (See Financial investments). In 4Q08, the Bank increased its bond portfolio to: (1) increase liquidity after a strong inflow of deposits and the tightening of lending and (2) in anticipation of lower inflation and interest rate levels in 1Q09, as a way to hedge our results in that scenario. The lower interest rates and negative inflation had a positive effect on the realized and unrealized gains from the mark-to-market of our fixed income securities portfolio.

The results from Santander Global Connect, a unit that sells treasury products to a wide range of corporate and retail clients, and generates a recurring and growing source of income also experienced a positive evolution in the quarter. Income from Santander Global Connect increased 84.5% QoQ and 53.5% YoY in 1Q09.

Other operating income, which mainly includes the results from the sale and maintenance of repossessed assets and other results, totaled a gain of Ch$2,498 million in 1Q09, increasing 24.0% QoQ and decreasing 75.1% YoY. The YoY decrease was mainly due to the fact that in 1Q08 the Bank perceived one-time income from the sale of shares in Visa and the Santiago Stock Exchange.

The Bank in 1Q09 recognized additional provisions for both credit and non-credit contingencies given the difficult economic environment and the potential for further deterioration. This explains the 311.7% YoY rise in other operating expenses.

In 2009, the Bank no longer recognizes the results from price level restatement except in the tax books. As inflation was negative in the quarter, this produced, for tax purposes, a gain from price level restatement and therefore, a higher effective tax rate and tax expense.

Institutional Background

As per the latest public records published by the Superintendency of Banks of Chile for March 2009, Banco Santander Chile was the largest bank in terms of loans and deposits. The Bank has the highest credit ratings among all Latin American companies, with an A+ rating from Standard and Poor’s, A+ by Fitch and A1 by Moody’s, which are the same ratings assigned to the Republic of Chile. The stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SAN) and the Santiago Stock Exchange (SSE: Bsantander). The Bank’s main shareholder is Santander, which controls 76.91% of Banco Santander Chile.

Banco Santander, S.A., (SAN.MC, STD.N), headquartered in Madrid, engages primarily in commercial banking with complementary activities in global wholesale banking, cards, asset management and insurance.

NOTA Nº1 ADOPCIÓN POR PRIMERA VEZ DEL COMPENDIO DE NORMAS CONTABLES:

La Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras (“SBIF”) en conjunto con otras superintendencias y otros organismos reguladores en Chile acordaron un plan de convergencia a Normas Internaciones de Información Financiera (“NIIF”) con el propósito de internacionalizar los modelos de reporte financiero para compañías públicas en Chile. En el marco del plan estratégico, la SBIF, a través de su Circular Nº 3.410 del 9 de noviembre de 2007, complementada posteriormente por la Circular Nº 3.443 del 21 de agosto de 2008, dio a conocer el nuevo “Compendio de Normas Contables”, en el cual contiene los nuevos estándares de contabilidad y reporte para la industria financiera que se aplicarán a contar del 1º de enero de 2009, considerando las normas de carácter transitorio establecidas en el Capítulo E de dicho compendio.

Por disposiciones legales, los bancos deben utilizar los criterios contables dispuestos por la SBIF y en todo aquello que no sea tratado por ella ni se contraponga con sus instrucciones, deben ceñirse a los criterios contables de general aceptación, que corresponden a las normas técnicas emitidas por el Colegio de Contadores de Chile A.G., coincidentes con los estándares internacionales de contabilidad e información financiera acordados por el Internacional Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). En caso de existir discrepancias entre los principios contables y los criterios contables emitidos por la SBIF (Compendio de Normas Contables), primarán estas últimas.

Como resultado de lo anterior, el Banco estableció un plan para la transición a las nuevas normas contables que incluye, entre otros aspectos, el análisis de las diferencias de criterios contables, la selección de los criterios contables a aplicar en los casos en que se permitan tratamientos alternativos y la evaluación de las modificaciones de procedimientos y sistemas de información.

De acuerdo a este plan de transición, se han aplicado retroactivamente al 01 de enero de 2008 las normas del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables, confeccionándose un balance de apertura a dicha fecha. Asimismo, con el objetivo de presentar estados financieros comparativos durante el año 2009, el Banco confeccionó un set de estados financieros pro-forma para el año 2008.

A continuación se detallan y explican los principales impactos que origina la migración a estas nuevas normas contables, ya sea a nivel de balance como resultados.

NOTA Nº1 ADOPCIÓN POR PRIMERA VEZ DEL COMPENDIO DE NORMAS CONTABLES, continuación:

g) Descripción de los principales ajustes:

A continuación se describirá la naturaleza de los principales efectos o ajustes que surgen en la adopción del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables emitido por la SBIF.

i. Perímetro de Consolidación

De acuerdo a la normativa vigente hasta el 31 Diciembre 2007, Capitulo 11-6 “Inversiones en Sociedades en el País” de la Recopilación Actualizada de Normas; el Banco consideraba dentro de su perímetro de consolidación a las sociedades filiales y a las sociedades de apoyo al giro.

En primer caso, estas sociedades eran consolidadas mediante el método de integración global (línea a línea), siendo las siguientes:

	% de Participación
Sociedad	Directo			Indirecto			Total

Santander Corredores de Seguro Ltda.		99,75	%		0,01	%		99,76	%
Santander S.A. Corredores de Bolsa		50,59	%		0,41	%		51,00	%
Santander Asset Management S.A. Administradora General de Fondos		99,96	%		0,02	%		99,98	%
Santander S.A. Agente de Valores		99,03	%		-			99,03	%
Santander S.A. Sociedad Securitizadora		99,64	%		-			99,64	%
Santander Servicios de Recaudación y Pagos Limitada		99,90	%		0,10	%		100,00	%

Por su parte, las sociedades de apoyo al giro eran valorizadas mediante el método de puesta en equivalencia (VPP o VP), considerando las siguientes entidades:

Sociedad	% Part.

Redbanc S.A.		33,42	%
Transbank S.A.		32,71	%
Centro de Compensación Automatizado		33,33	%
Sociedad Interbancaria Depósitos de Valores S.A.		29,29	%
Cámara Compensación Alto Valor S.A.		11,52	%
Administrador Financiero Transantiago S.A.		20,00	%
Sociedad Nexus S.A.		12,90	%

Con la entrada en vigencia del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables, el Banco ha debido analizar y definir nuevamente su perímetro de consolidación, teniendo presente que ahora el criterio fundamental a considerar es el grado de control que posea el Banco sobre una determinada entidad y no su porcentaje de participación en el patrimonio.

Producto de este análisis, se determinó lo siguiente:

-	Se mantendrán los métodos de consolidación/valorización utilizados hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2008 para las sociedades filiales y de apoyo al giro. Lo anterior, debido a que se concluyó que en el primer caso el Banco posee control sobre ellas y en el segundo ejerce una influencia significativa.

-	Por otro lado, de acuerdo a lo estipulado por la NIC 27 y la SIC 12, el Banco debe evaluar la existencia de Entidades de Cometido Especial (ECE), las cuales deben se incluidas en el perímetro de consolidación, siendo sus principales características las siguientes:

o	Las actividades de la ECE han sido dirigidas, en esencia, en nombre de la entidad que presenta los estados financieros consolidados, y de acuerdo a sus necesidades específicas de negocio.

o	Se poseen los poderes de decisión necesarios para obtener la mayoría de los beneficios de las actividades de esas entidades y los derechos para obtener la mayoría de los beneficios u otras ventajas de dichas entidades.

o	En esencia, la entidad retiene para sí, la mayoría de los riesgos inherentes a la propiedad o residuales a la ECE o a sus activos, con el fin de obtener los beneficios de sus actividades.

NOTA Nº1 ADOPCIÓN POR PRIMERA VEZ DEL COMPENDIO DE NORMAS CONTABLES, continuación:

g) Descripción de los principales ajustes, continuación:

-	Así entonces, producto de esta evaluación, se concluyó que el Banco ejercía el control sobre un número determinado de entidades, las cuales debían ser incorporadas a su perímetro de consolidación, siendo las siguientes entidades:

- Santander Gestión de Recaudación y Cobranzas Ltda.

- Multinegocios S.A.

- Servicios Administrativos y Financieros Ltda.

- Servicios de Cobranzas Fiscalex Ltda.

- Multiservicios de Negocios Ltda.

- Bansa Santander S.A.

- Santander Multimedios S.A.

A principios del año 2009, la sociedad Santander Multimedios S.A., realizó un cambió en su giro de negocios, lo que generó que sus ingresos ya no dependieran en gran medida de las operaciones realizadas con el Banco. Producto de ello, se determinó que el Banco ya no ejercía control sobre ella, debiendo excluirla del perímetro de consolidación a partir de Marzo 2009.

Dentro de este ítem, en general, se incluyen los efectos que generó la inclusión de estas sociedades al perímetro de consolidación del Banco. Además se incluyen también aquellos efectos colaterales que genera la incorporación estas sociedades al perímetro de consolidación, como lo son nuevos ajustes de eliminación de operaciones relacionadas (ej. Colocaciones) y también la aceleración de desembolsos que anteriormente eran activados y devengados en resultado en un período de tiempo determinado.

ii. Sociedades de Apoyo al Giro

Dentro de este ítem se han agrupado los efectos particulares que generó la adopción del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables en cada una de las diversas sociedades de Apoyo al Giro, considerando en cada caso el efecto proporcional que generan estos efectos/ajustes en el patrimonio del Banco, en base al porcentaje de participación que tiene el Banco sobre estas sociedades.

iii. Corrección Monetaria

De acuerdo a la normativa anteriormente vigente, los estados financieros consolidados se preparaban aplicando corrección monetaria integral, con el objetivo de reflejar los efectos de los cambios en el poder adquisitivo del peso chileno durante cada periodo.

Según el nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables y de acuerdo a la NIC 29 “Información Financiera en Economías Hiperinflacionarias”, se aplicará corrección monetaria solo cuando la entidad cuya moneda funcional sea una moneda correspondiente a una economía hiperinflacionaria (entiéndase que es aquella economía con 100 por ciento de inflación en 3 años). En el caso del Banco, la moneda funcional es el peso chileno.

Debido a que la economía chilena no cumple los requisitos antes descritos, es que el Banco debió eliminar la corrección monetaria a partir del 01 de Enero de 2008. De acuerdo a lo establecido en el Capítulo E del Compendio de Normas Contables, la corrección monetaria aplicada hasta el 31 de Diciembre de 2007 no fue objeto de reversiones.

Dentro de este ítem, se incluyen los ajustes por la reversión de la corrección monetaria de los diferentes activos y pasivos. Por su parte, la corrección monetaria del capital pagado y reservas al 31 de diciembre de 2008 no fueron revertidas, de acuerdo a lo establecido en el Capítulo E del Compendio de Normas Contables y a la necesidad de mantener los montos del capital pagado y de las reservas constituidas de acuerdo con las reglas aplicadas para efectos legales o estatutarios.

g) Descripción de los principales ajustes, continuación:

iv. Activo Fijo e Intangibles

Dentro de este ítem, se incluye principalmente el efecto que genera el recálculo de las depreciaciones y amortizaciones de los activos fijos en general y de los intangibles (software y desarrollos informáticos) producto de la eliminación de la corrección monetaria (tal como se describe en el punto iii) y de las determinación del costo atribuido en el caso de los activos fijos al 01 de Enero de 2008.

De acuerdo a lo establecido en el Capítulo E del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables, al 01 de enero de 2008 el Banco determinó el costo atribuido de sus activos fijos, eligiendo el menor importe entre el costo histórico de cada unos de ellos (incluyendo su respectiva corrección monetaria hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2007) y su valor razonable, basado en una tasación de los mismos, realizada por un tercero independiente.

v. Bienes Recibidos o Adjudicados en Pago

Anteriormente, los bienes recibidos o adjudicados en pago (BRP) eran valorizados al costo (precio convenido con el deudor en la dación en pago o el valor de adjudicación en remate judicial, según sea el caso, corregido monetariamente), menos una provisión de valuación individual en base a una tasación independiente. Al cabo de un año, en cumplimiento de lo dispuesto en el N° 5 del artículo 84 de la Ley General de Bancos, para hacer uso de un plazo adicional para vender los bienes recibidos o adjudicados en pago, los bancos debían castigar los bienes que se encontraban en esa situación.

La principal modificación que introduce en la valorización de los BRP el nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables, Capitulo B-5, (además de la eliminación de la corrección monetaria descrita en el punto iii.) es que al momento de realizar la provisión de valuación inicial se deberá considerar su valor realizable neto, es decir, el valor razonable (tasación independiente) menos los costos necesarios para mantenerlo y enajenarlo.

De acuerdo a los estudios realizados por el Banco, al 01 de Enero de 2008 se determinó un costo de venta (costo para mantenerlo y enajenarlo) promedio estimado de un 5,8% sobre el valor de tasación y al 31 de Diciembre de 2008 este guarismo ascendió a un 6,5%,

En este ítem se presentan los efectos que genera la aplicación del costo de venta anteriormente descrito.

vi. Castigos de Colocaciones

De acuerdo a la normativa anteriormente vigente, el plazo para efectuar los castigos de las cuotas vencidas y morosas de los créditos y cuentas a cobrar, se computaba desde su ingreso a cartera vencida, la cual representaba a aquellas operaciones que se encontraban morosas en el pago de capital e intereses por noventa días o más. Este ingreso a cartera vencida se realizaba anteriormente cuota a cuota.

De acuerdo a lo establecido en el Capítulo B-2 del nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables, el plazo para realizar los castigos de los créditos y cuentas por cobrar debe computarse desde el inicio de la mora de una determinada operación, afectando por tanto al 100% de la operación, ya sea que tenga una proporción morosa, vencida o vigente.

NOTA Nº1 ADOPCIÓN POR PRIMERA VEZ DEL COMPENDIO DE NORMAS CONTABLES, continuación:

g) Descripción de los principales ajustes, continuación:

A continuación se muestra un cuadro con los principales tipos de colocación y sus respectivos plazos de castigo de acuerdo a lo estipulado por el nuevo Compendio de Normas Contables:

Tipo de contrato		Plazo

Operaciones de Leasing

	Leasing de consumo	6 meses
	Otras operaciones de leasing no inmobiliario	12 meses
	Leasing inmobiliario (comercial o vivienda)	36 meses

Resto de Operaciones

	Créditos de consumo con o sin garantías reales	6 meses
	Otras operaciones sin garantías reales	24 meses
	Créditos comerciales con garantías reales	36 meses
	Créditos hipotecarios para vivienda	48 meses

Dentro de este ítem, el Banco ha clasificado los efectos que surgen de la aplicación de esta nueva metodología para la aplicación de los castigos de créditos y cuentas a cobrar, así como también el efecto colateral que genera en las provisiones constituidas para cada una de las operaciones (al castigarse al 100% la operación, deben liberarse las provisiones constituidas).

vii. Impuestos diferidos

Dentro de este ítem se agrupan los efectos fiscales (impuestos diferidos) generados por las diferencias temporales, originadas a su vez, por los ajustes comentados anteriormente, sea que estos afecten directamente al patrimonio o a resultados.
