SECTION 1: SUMMARY OF RESULTS

 

Net income up 17.8% QoQ. ROE reaches 18.6% in 3Q13

 

Net income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 totaled Ch$267,944 million (Ch$1.42 per share and US$1.13/ADR). In 3Q13, Net income attributable to shareholders totaled Ch$101,173 million (Ch$0.54 per share and US$0.43/ADR), increasing 17.8% compared to 2Q13 (from now on QoQ) and 99.8% compared to 3Q12 (from now on YoY). Solid loan and core deposits growth and a higher net interest margin boosted earnings in the quarter. The Bank’s ROE in the quarter reached 18.6%.

 

Loan growth continues to accelerate in the segments the Bank targeted for growth

 

In 3Q13, total loans and account receivables increased 2.8% QoQ (an annualized rate of 11%) and 9.8% YoY. In the quarter, loan growth continued to accelerate in the markets the Bank is targeting: high-income individuals, SMEs and middle market of companies. Loans in these combined markets increased 3.1% QoQ and 14.4% YoY. This is in line with the Bank’s strategy of expanding loan volumes with a focus on increasing spreads, net of provisions. In the quarter, the Bank focused on expanding its consumer loan portfolio in higher income segments, while remaining more selective in the mass consumer market and mortgages. Loans to high-income individuals increased 3.7% QoQ and 12.4% YoY.  

 

 

* Targeted markets: High-income individuals, SMEs and Middle-market

 

Improved funding mix and strong growth of core deposits

 

Total deposits grew 2.3% QoQ and 6.1% YoY. In the quarter, the Bank’s funding strategy continued to focus on increasing core deposits (demand and time deposits from our retail and corporate clients), while lowering deposits from more expensive institutional sources. Core deposits expanded 4.2% QoQ and 18.0% YoY. Core deposits represent 85% of the Bank’s total deposit base. Among core deposits, the bulk of growth came from individuals, which expanded 3.5% QoQ, and 21.8% YoY.

 

 

* Core deposits: demand and time deposits from our retail and corporate clients

Net interest income up 15.7% QoQ. Net interest margin reaches 5.3% in 3Q13

 

In 3Q13, Net interest income increased 15.7% QoQ and 20.5% YoY. Loan growth, a better funding mix and higher inflation rates drove this rise in net interest income. The net interest margin (NIM) in 3Q13 reached 5.3% compared to 4.7% in both 2Q13 and 3Q12. In 3Q13, the variation of the Unidad de Fomento (an inflation indexed currency unit), was 1.04% compared to -0.07% in 2Q13 and -0.16% in 3Q12. The Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation and, as a result, margins have a positive sensitivity to variations in inflation.

 

Non performing loans ratio down 10 bp. in 3Q13. One-time events in commercial lending increases provision expense

 

The Bank’s non-performing loan (NPLs) ratio fell from 3.1% in 2Q13 to 3.0% in 3Q13 and the risk index remained stable at 2.9%. Total coverage of NPLs in 3Q13 reached 94.8% compared to 91.3% in 2Q13 and 98.3% in 3Q12. Excluding residential mortgage loans that have a lower coverage ratio due to the value of residential property collateral, the coverage ratio increased to 118% in 3Q13. Asset quality in consumer lending continues to improve. Consumer NPLs decreased 11.0% QoQ and 25.6% YoY. The coverage of consumer NPLs reached 339.6% in 3Q13.

 

Net provision for loan losses in the quarter increased 11.3% QoQ and decreased 19.2% YoY. The cost of credit reached 1.9% in 3Q13. Net provision expense in consumer loans decreased 4.2% QoQ and 46.4% YoY. This was offset by the 39.7% QoQ and 38.6% YoY rise in net provision expense in commercial loans. This increase was mainly due to: (i) the Bank lowered the risk rating of various clients in the middle-market segment, which signified approximately Ch$4 billion in higher provisions; (ii) stronger loan growth that led to higher loan loss provisions as the Bank’s internal provisioning models recognize provisions when a loan is granted.

 

 

* Cost of credit is quarterly provision expense annualized over average loans

 

Efficiency ratio improves to 39.8% in 3Q13. Cost growth flat QoQ

 

Operating expenses in 3Q13 increased 0.6% QoQ as the Bank continues to wrap up its investment program in the Transformation Project. The efficiency ratio reached 39.8% in 3Q13 compared to 42.5% in 2Q13 and 41.9% in 3Q12.

 

Core capital ratio reaches 10.4% in 3Q13

 

Shareholders’ equity totaled Ch$2,213,114 million (US$4.4 billion) as of September 30, 2013. The core capital ratio reached 10.4% as of September 30, 2013. The Bank’s BIS ratio reached 13.0% at the same date.

In 3Q13, total loans increased 2.8% QoQ (an annualized rate of 11%) and 9.8% YoY.

Loans to individuals in Santander Banefe began to grow again. Total loans in Banefe increased 1.8% QoQ and decreased 0.5% YoY. Our strategy to improve profitability in the lower income segments levels is beginning to show results. We are growing with a more efficient network and a less riskier client base (See Provision Expense).

 

Lending to SMEs, (defined as companies that sell less than Ch$1,200 million per year), one of the Bank’s most profitable business segment, expanded 3.3% QoQ and 15.6% YoY, reflecting the Bank’s consistent focus on this segment despite the higher credit risk. Growth continues to be focused among SME loans backed by state guarantees.

 

In 3Q13, the middle-market segment (companies with annual sales between Ch$1,200 million and Ch$10,000 million per year) loans increased 2.2% QoQ and 16.3% YoY. This segment continues to show healthy loan demand given the relatively high investment rate seen in the Chilean economy. This segment is also generating increasingly higher levels of business volumes in other areas such as cash management, which has helped to drive the rise in core deposits.

 

In the large corporate segment (companies with sale over Ch$10,000 million per year or that are part of a large foreign or local economic group), loans increased 8.0% QoQ and 14.0% YoY. The Bank’s non-lending business in this segment, especially cash management services, continues to thrive. This in many instances also results in an increase in lending to these clients. Moreover, the rise in external funding cost for companies throughout 2013 has resulted in higher local demand for short-term lending from corporates.

Loans to deposits1   104.2%   103.3%   98.7%          

1. (Loans - marketable securities that fund mortgage loans) / (Time deposits + demand deposits).

 

Total deposits grew 2.3% QoQ and 6.1% YoY. In the quarter, the Bank’s funding strategy continued to be focused on increasing core deposits, while lowering deposits from more expensive short-term institutional sources. Core deposits (demand and time deposits from our retail and corporate clients) expanded 4.2% QoQ and 18.0% YoY. Among core deposits, the bulk of growth came from individuals. These deposits from individuals increased 3.5% QoQ, and 21.8% YoY. Core deposits now represent 85% of the Bank’s total deposit base. This was partially offset by lower deposits from institutional sources such as pension funds, mutual funds and insurance companies. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 1.3% QoQ and 14.3% YoY. As the Central Bank continues to cut interest rates, our focus on core deposits should help support net interest margins. Core deposits tend to be cheaper than institutional deposits and generally have a shorter contractual duration. Therefore, as rates decline, our interest bearing liabilities will re-price quicker than our interest earning assets.

 

 

Update regarding the sale of Santander Asset Management

 

On May 30, it was reported that Banco Santander Chile had received from Banco Santander SA, an offer to purchase all of the shares of its subsidiary Santander Asset Management. A new holding company, composed of Santander, Warburg Pincus and General Atlantic, will concentrate the stakes of the Group's subsidiaries in each of the countries in which Santander is present in the Asset Management business. The main goal of this transformation is to enhance the quality and variety of asset management products to be marketed by Banco Santander, a global management focused on value-added products and close and collaborative relationship with various distribution networks. The Bank will continue to focus on its strength in this business, which is the distribution of mutual funds.

On September 16, we received reports commissioned by the Bank's Board and Audit Committee of Directors and independent evaluators to Ernst & Young and Claro y Associates, respectively regarding the fairness of this transaction. On September 23, the individual opinion of each Board member was published. These reports are available to the shareholders at www.santander.cl section "Accionistas" in Spanish and “Investor Relations” in English. The direct links are the following:

Our asset management subsidiary was valued at Ch$130 billion and the transaction would generate a one-time gain of Ch$77 billion for the Bank. This one-time gain will only be booked once shareholders approve the transaction in an extraordinary shareholders meeting, the date of which has not been determined. This offer also contains a contractual agreement for the brokerage of asset management services between the Bank and the Asset Management business, for a period of 20 years maximum, which is also reviewed by the Board members and the independent consultants. The Bank’s Board and management have not determined the use of proceeds. The one-time gain may be used to strengthen the Bank’s balance sheet.

In 3Q13, Net interest income increased 15.7% QoQ and 20.5% YoY. Loan growth, a better funding mix and higher inflation rates drove this rise in net interest income. The Net interest margin (NIM) in 3Q13 reached 5.3% compared to 4.7% in both 2Q13 and 3Q12. In order to improve the explanation of margins, we have divided the analysis of net interest income between client interest income2 and non-client net interest income.

 

 

2 Client net interest income is net interest income from all client activities such as loans and deposits minus the internal transfer rate. Non-client interest income is net interest income from Bank’s inflation gap, the financial cost of hedging, the financial cost of the Bank’s structural liquidity position, net interest income from treasury positions and the interest expense of the Bank’s financial investments classified as trading, since interest income from this portfolio is recognized as financial transactions net.

Client net interest income. In 3Q13, client net interest income increased 0.6% QoQ and 3.1% YoY, driven mainly by loan growth. Average loans increased 2.8% QoQ and 6.8% YoY. Client net interest margin (defined as client net interest income divided by average loans) reached 5.6% in 3Q13 compared to 5.8% in 2Q13 and 5.9% in 3Q12. The lower client margin in the quarter was mainly due to the higher growth of Corporate loans and lower growth in the low-end of the consumer market. Additionally, a key strategic objective of the Bank is to gradually achieve a higher client margin, net of provision expenses by focusing growth in the middle-market, SMEs and the high end of the consumer market even though this could result in lower gross client margins. In consumer lending, the gross spread has declined from 15.6% in 3Q12 to 13.6% in 3Q13, but the spread net of risk has increased from 7.4% to 8.2% in the same period.

 

 

Non-client net interest income. The volatility of our total net interest margin and income is mainly due to the quarterly fluctuations of inflation. In 3Q13, the variation of the Unidad de Fomento (an inflation indexed currency unit), was 1.04% compared to -0.07% in 2Q13 and -0.16% in 3Q12. It is important to point out that the Bank has more assets than liabilities linked to inflation and, as a result, margins have a positive sensitivity to variations in inflation. The gap between assets and liabilities indexed to the UF averaged approximately Ch$3.4 trillion (US$6.8 billion) in 3Q13. This signifies that for every 100 basis point change in inflation, our net interest income increases or decrease by Ch$34 billion, all other factors equal. Therefore, the rise in inflation largely explains the increase in non-client net interest income in 3Q13 compared to both 2Q13 and 3Q12.

 

For the remainder of 2013 and 2014, the evolution of margins should reflect various factors. First, we expect UF inflation to normalize at a quarterly rate of approximately 0.7% per quarter with seasonal fluctuations. In addition, the Central Bank reduced interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.75%. As the Central Bank continues to cuts rates, our focus on core deposits should help support net interest margins. Core deposits tend to be cheaper than institutional deposits and generally have a shorter contractual duration. Therefore, as rates decline, our interest bearing liabilities will re-price quicker than our interest earning assets.

 

The Chilean Congress continues to discuss regulations regarding the formula in which maximum rates are calculated. This may have a negative impact on margins even though there is no clarity as to when this legislation will be approved. To counterbalance this we expect: (1) healthier loan growth both in terms of volumes and margins, post provision expense and, (2) an improved funding mix via healthy growth of core deposits. We estimate that the impact the change in maximum rate could have on our net interest margins could be approximately 15 basis points of less net interest margin in 2014. This estimate is subject to further revisions once Congress finally approves this law.

Excluding residential mortgage loans that have a lower coverage ratio due to the value of residential property collateral, the coverage ratio improved to 118% in 3Q13 compared to 113% in 2Q13. Consumer NPLs decreased 11.0% QoQ and 25.6% YoY. The coverage of consumer NPLs reached 339.6% in 3Q13.

 

 

Net provision for loan losses in the quarter increased 11.3% QoQ and decreased 19.2% YoY. The cost of credit reached 1.9% in 3Q13. By product, the evolution of net provision expense was as following:

 

Provision for loan losses  Quarter   Change % 
(Ch$ million)  3Q13   2Q13   3Q12   3Q13 /
3Q12
   3Q13 /
2Q13
 
Commercial loans   (42,662)   (30,530)   (30,791)   38.6%   39.7%
Residential mortgage loans   (8,682)   (9,026)   (4,488)   93.4%   (3.8)%
Consumer loans   (45,135)   (47,099)   (84,180)   (46.4)%   (4.2)%
Net provisions for loan losses   (96,479)   (86,655)   (119,459)   (19.2)%   11.3%

 

Net provision expense in consumer loans, which represented 47% of total provision expense, decreased 4.2% QoQ and 46.4% YoY. Compared to 2Q13, the decline in consumer provision expense can be explained by the various actions taken to improve credit risk in the consumer lending. This includes focusing loan growth in the higher end of the consumer market, tightening admissions policies, improving the collections process and updating the consumer provisioning models (performed in 3Q12, which signified a one-time provision expense of Ch$24,753 million in said quarter).

 

The measures mentioned above have gradually resulted in an improvement of asset quality in consumer lending. Consumer NPLs decreased 11.0% QoQ and 25.6% YoY. The coverage of consumer NPLs reached 339.6% in 3Q13. At the same time, the amount of impaired consumer loans (consumer NPLs + renegotiated consumer loans) has evolved favorably. The ratio of impaired consumer loans to total consumer loans reached 10.3% as of September 2013 compared to 13.1% as of September 2012. This tends to be a leading indicator for the evolution of future charge-offs in this product. Better collection efforts led to an important rise in consumer loan loss recoveries. These increased 38.1% in 3Q13 compared to 3Q12.

Provision expense for mortgage residential loans decreased 3.8% QoQ and increased 93.4% YoY. The YoY increase was mainly due to higher charge-offs of mortgage loans that totaled Ch$6,655 million in 3Q13 compared to Ch$3,880 million in 3Q12. The charge-off ratio (mortgage loan charge-offs annualized divided by average mortgage loans) reached 0.5% compared to 0.3% in 3Q12. Mortgage NPLs have remained relatively stable during the last 12 months, as seen in the graph. Including collateral, the coverage of residential mortgage NPLs has improved to 115.2% as of September 2013.

 

*Total coverage ratio = Loan loss reserves plus mortgage collateral

 

We expect net provision expenses in mortgage lending to continue to rise, albeit remaining at low levels as a percentage of the total mortgage loan book, as the growth rate of the economy moderates. In response to this, the Bank has strengthened its admission policies for mortgage loans and has increased minimum loan-to-value requirements.

 

Provision expense in commercial loans increased 39.7% QoQ and 38.6% YoY. This increase was mainly due to: (i) the Bank lowered the risk rating of various clients in the middle-market segment, which signified approximately Ch$4 billion in higher provisions. This was not a sector specific phenomenon, but occurred among clients in various sectors; (ii) stronger loan growth that led to higher loan loss provisions as the Bank’s internal provisioning models recognize provisions when a loan is granted. Total commercial NPLs grew 3.7% QoQ while the commercial NPL ratio remained steady at 3.3%. The rise in NPLs was mainly due to a rise in NPLs of SME loans granted through various government guarantee program. The coverage ratio of commercial NPLs increased to 73.1% in 3Q13 compared to 72.4% in 2Q13.

Total fees   54,931    58,144    63,403    (13.4)%   (5.5)%

 

Net fee income decreased 5.5% QoQ and 13.4% YoY. This decline is mainly due to various changes in regulations adopted by the Bank in 2013. These new regulations mainly affected insurance brokerage, credit card, checking account and line of credit fees.

 

The Bank also continued to reduce its exposure to clients in the mass consumer segment. This in the short-term also affects fees, but positively affects provision expense and overall profitability in this segment.

 

As of September 3012, the Bank had 3.4 million clients. The launching of Santander Select, the investments made in the new CRM and the improvements in quality of service are beginning to produce an important acceleration in the growth rate of clients since 2Q13, as can be observed in the chart below.

 

 

3 In the quarter, the Bank reclassified various administrative and other operating expenses to net fee income. The historical figures presented here have been adjusted to make them comparable. (Please see Annex 3 for a complete proforma income statement).

The amount of clients entering the Bank has nearly doubled since the beginning of the year. At the same time, the amount of clients exiting the Bank per month has fallen by approximately 55% in the same period. As a result, net client growth, which in the first quarter averaged approximately 16,000 clients, has doubled to approximately 32,000 clients per month. This should lead to a 7-8% client base growth in 2014, which in turn should fuel fee growth.

1. Santander Global Connect is the Bank’s commercial platform for selling treasury products to our clients.

 

In the quarter, market volatility decreased following a very volatile environment in 2Q13. This lowered the demand for hedging on behalf of our corporate and middle-market clients. This explains the 13.4% QoQ decrease in the Bank’s income from client treasury services, which still represented 66% of total financial transaction income.

 

Non-client treasury income totaled Ch$9,358 million in 3Q13. In 3Q13, Chilean interest rates continued to decline in line with expectations of rate cuts on behalf of the Central Bank. This had a positive effect on non-client treasury income even though the impact was lower than in 2Q13. The Bank also recognized a gain of Ch$1,583 million from the sale of charged-off loans in 3Q13.

Operating expenses in 3Q13 increased 0.6% QoQ as the Bank continues to wrap up its investment program in the Transformation Project. The efficiency ratio reached 39.8% in 3Q13 compared to 42.5% in 2Q13 and 41.9% in 3Q12.

 

The 7.2% YoY increase in operating expenses was mainly due to the 10.9% increase in administrative expenses. This rise was mainly due to higher investments in technology and systems as the Bank continued with its Transformation Projects aimed at enhancing productivity and client service in retail banking. The Bank also opened 3 branches in the quarter, while we accelerated a program to optimize the ATM network in order to lower security expenses. Going forward administrative expenses should grow at a slower pace as many of these projects are wrapping up.

 

The 4.1% YoY increase in personnel expenses in 3Q13 reflects an increase in variable incentives paid to commercial teams as the Bank has begun to grow at a more rapid pace, especially in the segments the Bank has targeted for growth. This was partially offset by a stable headcount level.

 

 

4 In the quarter, the Bank reclassified various administrative and other operating expenses to net fee income. The historical figures presented here have been adjusted to make them comparable. (Please see Annex 3 for a complete proforma income statement).

Other operating income, net, totaled a loss of Ch$11,350 million in 3Q13. The higher loss compared to 2Q13 was mainly due to lower results from repossessed assets of Ch$3,190 million and lower recoveries of non-credit contingencies by Ch$3,412 million compared to 2Q13

 

The lower income tax rate in 3Q13 was mainly due to the rise in inflation rate in 3Q13 compared to both 2Q13 and 3Q12. Higher quarterly inflation compared to previous periods increases the tax loss from the revaluation of capital due to price level restatement. Below is a summary of our tax expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2013.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

CORPORATE INFORMATION

 

Banco Santander Chile (formerly Banco Santiago) is a corporation (limited company bank) organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile, headquartered at Bandera #140, Santiago, which provides a broad range of general banking services to its customers, from individuals to major corporations. Banco Santander Chile and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Bank” or “Banco Santander Chile”) offer commercial and consumer banking services, as well as other services, including factoring, collection, leasing, securities and insurance brokerage, mutual and investment fund management, and investment banking.

 

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of Banco Santiago was held on July 18, 2002, the minutes of which were notarized as a public deed on July 19, 2002 at the Notarial Office of Santiago in the presence of the Notary Nancy de la Fuente Hernández, and it was agreed to merge Banco Santander Chile with Banco Santiago by merging the former into the latter, which acquired the former’s assets and liabilities. It was likewise agreed to dissolve Banco Santander Chile in advance and change the name of Banco Santiago to Banco Santander Chile. This change was authorized by Resolution No.79 of the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF), adopted on July 26, 2002, published in the Official Journal on August 1, 2002 and registered on page 19,992 under number 16,346 for the year 2002 in the Registry of Commerce of the Curator of Real Estate of Santiago.

 

In addition to the amendments to the bylaws discussed above, the bylaws have been amended on multiple occasions, the last time at the Special Shareholders Meeting of April 24, 2007, the minutes of which were notarized as a public deed on May 24, 2007 at the Notarial Office of Nancy de la Fuente Hernández. This amendment was approved pursuant to Resolution No.61 of September 6, 2007 of the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. An extract thereof and the resolution were published in the Official Journal of September 23, 2007 and registered in the Registry of Commerce for 2007 on page 24,064 under number 17,563 of the aforementioned Curator.

 

By means of this last amendment, Banco Santander Chile, pursuant to its bylaws and as approved by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, may also use the names Banco Santander Santiago or Santander Santiago or Banco Santander or Santander.

 

Banco Santander Spain controls Banco Santander-Chile through its holdings in Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones S.A. and Santander-Chile Holding S.A., which are controlled subsidiaries of Banco Santander Spain. As of September 30, 2013 Banco Santander Spain owns or controls directly and indirectly 99.5% of the Santander-Chile Holding S.A. and 100% of Teatinos Siglo XXI Inversiones S.A. This gives Banco Santander Spain control over 67.18% of the Bank’s shares.

 

a)Basis of preparation

 

These Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF), the Chilean regulatory agency. The General Banking Law set out in its article 15 indicates that, that banks must apply accounting standards established by SBIF. In any other matter, the Bank must apply general accepted standards issued by the Colegio de Contadores de Chile A.G (Association of Chilean Accountants), which coincide with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In the event of discrepancies between the accounting principles and accounting standards issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards), the latter shall prevail.

 

For purposes of these financial statements we use certain terms and conventions. References to “US$”, “U.S. dollars” and “dollars” are to United States dollars, references to “EUR” are to European Economic Community Euro, references to “CNY” are to Chinese Yuan or renminbi , references to “CHF” are to Swiss franc, references to “Chilean pesos,” “pesos” or “Ch$” are to Chilean pesos, and references to “UF” are to Unidades de Fomento. The UF is an inflation-indexed Chilean monetary unit with a value in Chilean pesos that changes daily to reflect changes in the official Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) of the Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas (the Chilean National Institute of Statistics) for the previous month.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

b)Basis of preparation for the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

 

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, incorporate the financial statements of the Bank and its controlled entities (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Bank meets the following requirements under IFRS 10. Specifically, the Bank controls an investee if and only if the Bank has all the following:

 

i. Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
ii.Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
iii.The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

 

When the Bank has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Bank considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Bank’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

 

·The size of the Bank’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
·Potential voting rights held by the Bank, other vote holders or other parties;
·Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
·Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Bank has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous Shareholders’ meetings.

 

The Bank reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

 

The financial statements of subsidiaries are consolidated with those of the Bank. Accordingly, when necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Bank’s accounting policies and all the balances and transactions between the consolidated companies are eliminated through the consolidation process.

 

In addition, third parties’ shares in the Consolidated Bank’s equity are presented as “Non-controlling interests” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position. Their share in the income for the period is presented under “Attributable to non-controlling interests” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

The following companies are considered entities controlled by the Bank and are therefore within the scope of consolidation:

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Operating segments with similar economic characteristics often have a similar long-term financial performance. Two or more segments can be combined only if aggregation is consistent with the basic policies of the International Financial Reporting Standards N°8 “Operating Segments” (IFRS 8) and the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in each of the following respects:

 

i.the nature of the products and services;
ii.the nature of the production processes;
iii.the type or class of customers that use their products and services;
iv.the methods used to distribute their products or services; and
v.if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example, banking, insurance, or public utilities.

 

The Bank reports separately on each operating segment that exceeds any of the following quantitative thresholds:

 

i.Its reported revenue, from both external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10% or more of the combined internal and external revenue of all operating segments.

 

ii.The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater in absolute amount of: (i) the combined reported profit of all the operating segments that did not report a loss and; (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss.

 

iii. Its assets represent 10% or more of the combined assets of all the operating segments.

 

Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be treated as segments to be reported, in which case the information must be disclosed separately if management believes it would be useful to users of the financial statements.

 

Information about operating segments not separately reported (and not meeting the requirements to report separately) is aggregated and disclosed in the “Other segments” category.

 

According to the information presented, the Bank’s segments were determined under the following definitions: An operating segment is a component of an entity:

 

i.that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses from transactions with other components of the same entity);
ii.whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief executive officer, who makes decisions about resources allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
iii.for which discrete financial information is available.

 

e)Functional and presentation currency

 

According to International Accounting Standard No.21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” (IAS 21), the Chilean peso, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Bank operates and the currency which influences its costs and revenues structure, has been defined as the Bank’s functional and presentation currency.

 

Accordingly, all balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the Chilean Peso are treated as “foreign currency.”

 

f)Foreign currency transactions

 

The Bank grants loans and accepts deposits in amounts denominated in foreign currencies, mainly the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and only held by the Bank are translated to Chilean pesos based on the market rate published by Reuters at 1:30 p.m. on the last business day of every month; the rates used were Ch$504.70 and Ch$474.70 per US$1 as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively (Ch$478.85 per US$1 as of December 31, 2012).

 

The amounts of net foreign exchange profits and losses include recognition of the effects that exchange rate fluctuations have on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and the profits and losses on foreign exchange spot and forward transactions undertaken by the Bank.

g)Definitions and classification of financial instruments

 

i.Definitions

 

A “financial instrument” is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity, and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

 

An “equity instrument” is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

 

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

 

“Hybrid financial instruments” are contracts that simultaneously include a non-derivative host contract together with a financial derivative, known as an embedded derivative, which is not separately transferable and has the effect that some of the cash flows of the hybrid contract vary in a way similar to a stand-alone derivative.

 

ii.Classification of financial assets for measurement purposes

 

The financial assets are initially classified into the various categories used for management and measurement purposes.

 

Financial assets are included for measurement purposes in one of the following categories:

 

-Trading investments portfolio (at fair value through profit and loss): this category includes the financial assets acquired for the purpose of generating profits in the short term from fluctuations in their prices. This category includes the portfolio of trading investments and financial derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments.

 

-Available for sale investments portfolio, includes debt instruments not classified as: “held-to-maturity investments,” “Credit investments (loans and accounts receivable from customers or interbank loans)” or “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.” Available for sale (AFS) investments are initially recorded at cost, which includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. AFS instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, or based on appraisals made with the use of internal models when appropriate. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recorded as a debit or credit under the heading “Other comprehensive income” within equity. When these investments are disposed or become impaired, the cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in “Other comprehensive income” are transferred to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations.”

 

-Held to maturity instruments portfolio: this category includes debt securities traded on an active market, with a fixed maturity, and with fixed or determinable payments, for which the Bank has both the intent and a proven ability to hold to maturity. Held to maturity investments are recorded at their amortized cost plus interest earned, less any impairment losses established when their carrying amount exceeds the present value of estimated future cash flows, using the effective interest method.

 

-Credit investments (loans and accounts receivable from customers or interbank loans): this category includes financing granted to third parties, based on their nature, regardless of the class of borrower and the form of financing. Includes loans and accounts receivable from customers, interbank loans, and financial lease transactions in which the Bank acts as lessor. Loans and receivable shall be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

iii.Classification of financial assets for presentation purposes

 

Financial assets are classified by their nature into the following line items in the consolidated financial statements:

 

-Cash and deposits in banks: This line includes cash balances, checking accounts and on-demand deposits with the Central Bank of Chile and other domestic and foreign financial institutions. Amounts invested or received as overnight deposits are included in this item.

 

-Cash items in process of collection: This item includes the values of executed transactions which defer the payment of purchase-sale transactions or the delivery of the foreign currency acquired.

 

-Trading investments: This item includes financial instruments held-for-trading and investments in mutual funds which must be adjusted to their fair value in the same way as instruments acquired for trading.

 

-Financial derivative contracts: Financial derivative contracts with positive fair values are presented in this item. It includes both stand-alone contracts as well as derivatives that should and can be separated from a host contract, whether they are for trading or hedging, as shown in Note 7 to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

-Trading derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, including embedded derivatives separated from hybrid financial instruments.

 

-Hedging derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in hedge accounting, including the embedded derivatives separated from the hybrid financial instruments designated as hedging instruments in hedge accounting.

 

-Interbank loans: This item includes the balances of transactions with domestic and foreign banks, including the Central Bank of Chile, other than those reflected in the preceding items.

 

-Loans and accounts receivables from customers: These loans are non-derivative financial assets for which fixed or determined amounts are charged, that are not listed on an active market and which the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the short term. When the Bank is the lessor in a lease, and it substantially transfers the risks and benefits incidental to the leased asset, the transaction is presented in loans and accounts receivable from customers.

 

-Investment instruments: These are classified into two categories; held-to-maturity investments, and available-for-sale investments. The held-to-maturity investment category includes only those instruments for which the Bank has the ability and intent to hold them until their maturity. The remaining investments are classified as available for sale.

 

iv.Classification of financial liabilities for measurement purposes

 

The financial liabilities are initially classified into the various categories used for management and measurement purposes.

 

Financial liabilities are included, for measurement purposes, in one of the following categories:

 

-Financial liabilities held for trading (at fair value through profit or loss): financial liabilities issued to generate short-term profits from fluctuations in their prices, financial derivatives not deemed to qualify for hedge accounting and financial liabilities arising from firm commitment of financial assets purchased under repurchase agreements or borrowed (“short positions”).

 

-Financial liabilities at amortized cost: financial liabilities, regardless of their class and maturity, not included in any of the aforementioned categories which arise from the borrowing activities of financial institutions.

v.Classification of financial liabilities for presentation purposes

 

The financial liabilities are classified by their nature into the following line items in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position:

 

-Deposits and other demand liabilities: this item includes all on-demand obligations except for term savings accounts, which are not considered on-demand instruments in view of their special characteristics. Obligations whose payment may be required during the period are deemed to be on-demand obligations. Operations which become callable the day after the closing date are not treated as on-demand obligations.

 

-Cash items in process of being cleared: this item includes the balances of asset purchases that are not settled on the same day and for sales of foreign currencies not delivered.

 

-Obligations under repurchase agreements: this item includes the balances of sales of financial instruments under repurchase and loan agreements.

 

-Time deposits and other demand liabilities: this item shows the balances of deposit transactions in which a term at the end of which they become callable has been stipulated.

 

-Financial derivative contracts: this item includes financial derivative contracts with negative fair values (i.e. against the Bank), whether they are for trading or for hedge accounting, as set forth in Note 8.

 

-Trading derivatives: Includes the fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, including embedded derivatives separated from hybrid financial instruments.

 

-Hedging derivatives: Includes the fair value of the derivatives designated as hedging instruments, including embedded derivatives separated from hybrid financial instruments and designated as hedging instruments.

 

-Interbank borrowings: This item includes obligations due to other domestic banks, foreign banks, or the Central Bank of Chile, which were not classified in any of the previous categories.

 

-Debt instruments issued: This encompasses three items; Obligations under letters of credit, Subordinated bonds and Senior bonds placed in the local and foreign market.

 

-Other financial liabilities: This item includes credit obligations to persons other than domestic banks, foreign banks, or the Central Bank of Chile, for financing purposes or operations in the normal course of business.

 

h)Valuation of financial assets and liabilities and recognition of fair value changes

 

In general, financial assets and liabilities are initially recorded at fair value which, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, is deemed to be the transaction price. Financial instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss includes transaction costs. Subsequently, and at the end of each reporting period, they are measured pursuant to the following criteria:

 

i.Valuation of financial assets

 

Financial assets are measured according to their fair value, gross of any transaction costs that may be incurred for their sale, except for loans and accounts receivable.

 

According to IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective date from January 1, 2013), “fair value” is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability. Therefore, when measuring fair value an entity shall take into account thecharacteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012

 

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: (a) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or (b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information about the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability at the measurement date, a fair value measurement shall assume that a transaction takes place at that date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owns the liability. That assumed transaction establishes a basis for estimating the price to sell the asset or to transfer the liability.

 

When using valuation techniques, the Bank shall maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs as available. If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, the price within the bid-ask spread that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances shall be used to measure fair value regardless of where the input is categorised within the fair value hierarchy (ie Level 1, 2 or 3). IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

 

All derivatives are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position at the fair value from their trade date. If their fair value is positive, they are recorded as an asset, and if their fair value is negative, they are recorded as a liability. The fair value on the trade date is deemed, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, to be the transaction price. The changes in the fair value of derivatives from the trade date are recorded in “Net income from financial operations” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

Specifically, the fair value of financial derivatives included in the portfolios of financial assets or liabilities held for trading is deemed to be their daily quoted price. If, for exceptional reasons, the quoted price cannot be determined on a given date, the fair value is determined using similar methods to those used to measure over the counter (OTC) derivatives. The fair value of OTC derivatives is the sum of the future cash flows resulting from the instrument, discounted to present value at the date of valuation (“present value” or “theoretical close”) using valuation techniques commonly used by the financial markets: “net present value” (NPV) and option pricing models, among other methods. Also, within the fair value of derivatives are included Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA), all with the objective that the fair value of each instrument includes the credit risk of its counterparty.

 

“Loans and accounts receivable from customers” and “Held-to-maturity investments” are measured at amortized cost using the “effective interest method.” “Amortized cost” is the acquisition cost of a financial asset or liability, plus or minus, as appropriate, prepayments of principal and the cumulative amortization (recorded in the consolidated income statement) of the difference between the initial cost and the maturity amount as calculated under the effective interest rate method. For financial assets, amortized cost also includes any reductions for impairment or uncollectibility. For loans and accounts receivable designated as hedged items in fair value hedges, the changes in their fair value related to the risk or risks being hedged is recorded in “Net income from financial operations”.

 

The “effective interest rate” is the discount rate that exactly matches the initial amount of a financial instrument to all its estimated cash flows over its remaining life. For fixed-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate coincides with the contractual interest rate established on the acquisition date plus, where applicable, the fees and transaction costs that, because of their nature, are a part of the financial return. For floating-rate financial instruments, the effective interest rate coincides with the rate of return prevailing until the next benchmark interest reset date.

 

Equity instruments whose fair value cannot be determined in a sufficiently objective manner and financial derivatives that have those instruments as their underlying assets and are settled by delivery of those instruments are measured at acquisition cost, adjusted, where appropriate, by any related impairment loss.

 

The amounts at which the financial assets are recorded represent, in all material respects, the Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk at each reporting date. The Bank has also received collateral and other credit enhancements to mitigate its exposure to credit risk, which consist mainly of mortgage guarantees, equity instruments and personal securities, assets leased out under leasing and rental agreements, assets acquired under repurchase agreements, securities loans and derivatives.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

ii.Valuation of financial liabilities

 

In general, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, as defined above, except for those financial liabilities designated as hedged items or hedging instruments and financial liabilities held for trading, which are measured at fair value.

 

iii.Valuation techniques

 

Financial instruments at fair value, determined on the basis of price quotations in active markets, include government debt securities, private sector debt securities, equity shares, short positions, and fixed-income securities issued.

 

In cases where price quotations cannot be observed, the Management makes its best estimate of the price that the market would set using its own internal models. In most cases, these models use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs and, in very specific cases, they use significant inputs not observable in market data. Various techniques are employed to make these estimates, including the extrapolation of observable market data.

 

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is the transaction price, unless the value of the instrument can be obtained from other market transactions performed with the same or similar instruments or can be measured by using a valuation technique in which the variables used include only observable market data, mainly interest rates.

 

The main techniques used as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and as of December, 2012 by the Bank’s internal models to determine the fair value of the financial instruments are as follows:

 

i.In the valuation of financial instruments permitting static hedging (mainly “forwards” and “swaps”), the “present value” method is used. Estimated future cash flows are discounted using the interest rate curves of the related currencies. The interest rate curves are generally observable market data.

 

ii.In the valuation of financial instruments requiring dynamic hedging (mainly structured options and other structured instruments), the Black-Scholes model is normally used. Where appropriate, observable market inputs are used to obtain factors such as the bid-offer spread, exchange rates, volatility, correlation indexes and market liquidity.

 

iii.In the valuation of certain financial instruments exposed to interest rate risk, such as interest rate futures, caps and floors, the present value method (futures) and the Black-Scholes model (plain vanilla options) are used. The main inputs used in these models are observable market data, including the related interest rate curves, volatilities, correlations and exchange rates.

 

The fair value of the financial instruments arising from the aforementioned internal models considers contractual terms and observable market data, which include interest rates, credit risk, exchange rates, quoted market price of shares, volatility and prepayments, among others. The valuation models are not significantly subjective, since these methodologies can be adjusted and evaluated, as appropriate, through the internal calculation of fair value and the subsequent comparison with the related actively traded price.

 

iv.Recording results

 

As a general rule, changes in the carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, distinguishing between those arising from the accrual of interest, which are recorded under interest income or interest expense as appropriate, and those arising for other reasons, which are recorded at their net amount under “Net income from financial operations”.

 

In the case of trading investments, the fair value adjustments, interest income, indexation adjustment and foreign exchange, are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations.”

 

Adjustments due to changes in fair value from:

 

-“Available-for-sale instruments” are recorded and accumulated under the heading “Other comprehensive income” within Equity.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

-When AFS instruments are disposed of or determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated as “Other comprehensive income” is reclassified to the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

v.Hedging transactions

 

The Bank uses financial derivatives for the following purposes:

 

i)to sell to customers who request these instruments in the management of their market and credit risks,
ii)to use these derivatives in the management of the risks of the Bank entities’ own positions and assets and liabilities (“hedging derivatives”), and
iii)to obtain profits from changes in the price of these derivatives (“trading derivatives”).

 

All financial derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as “trading derivatives.”

 

A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if all the following conditions are met:

 

1.The derivative hedges one of the following three types of exposure:

 

a.Changes in the value of assets and liabilities due to fluctuations, among others, in the interest rate and/or exchange rate to which the position or balance to be hedged is subject (“fair value hedge”);
b.Changes in the estimated cash flows arising from financial assets and liabilities, commitments and highly probable forecasted transactions (“cash flow hedge”);
c.The net investment in a foreign operation (“hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation”).

 

2.It is effective in offsetting exposure inherent in the hedged item or position throughout the expected term of the hedge, which means that:

 

a.At the date of arrangement the hedge is expected, under normal conditions, to be highly effective (“prospective effectiveness”).
b.There is sufficient evidence that the hedge was actually effective during the life of the hedged item or position (“retrospective effectiveness”).

 

3.There must be adequate documentation evidencing the specific designation of the financial derivative to hedge certain balances or transactions and how this effective hedge was expected to be achieved and measured, provided that this is consistent with the Bank’s management of own risks.

 

The changes in the value of financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded as follows:

 

a.In fair value hedges, the gains or losses arising on both hedging instruments and the hedged items (attributable to the type of risk being hedged) are recorded directly in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

b.In fair value hedges of interest rate risk on a portfolio of financial instruments, gains or losses that arise in measuring hedging instruments are recorded directly in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, whereas gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the hedged item (attributable to the hedged risk) are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income as a charge or credit, as applicable, to “Net income from financial operations”.

 

c.In cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in value of the hedging instrument is recorded under the heading “Cash flow hedge” within Equity component “Other comprehensive income”, until the hedged transaction occurs, thereafter being recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, unless the hedged transaction results in the recognition of non–financial assets or liabilities, in which case it is included in the cost of the non-financial asset or liability.

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

d.The differences in valuation of the hedging instrument corresponding to the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedging transactions are recorded directly in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under “Net income from financial operations”.

 

If a derivative designated as a hedging instrument no longer meets the requirements described above due to expiration, ineffectiveness or for any other reason, the derivative is classified as a “trading derivative.” When “fair value hedging” is discontinued, the fair value adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising from the hedged risk are amortized to gain or loss from that date.

 

When cash flow hedges are discontinued, any cumulative gain or loss of the hedging instrument recognized in other comprehensive income under “Other comprehensive income” (from the period when the hedge was effective) remains recorded in equity until the hedged transaction occurs, at which time it is recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, unless the transaction is no longer expected to occur, in which case any cumulative gain or loss is recorded immediately in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

vi.Derivatives embedded in hybrid financial instruments

 

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or in other host contracts are accounted for separately as derivatives if their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts, provided that the host contracts are not classified as “Other financial assets (liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss” or as “Trading investments portfolio”.

 

vii.Offsetting of financial instruments

 

Financial asset and liability balances are offset, i.e., reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position at their net amount, only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recorded amounts and the Banks intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

viii.Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

 

The accounting treatment of transfers of financial assets depends on the extent and the manner in which the risks and rewards associated with the transferred assets are transferred to third parties:

 

i.If the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to third parties, as in the case of unconditional sales of financial assets, sales under repurchase agreements at fair value at the date of repurchase, sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option deeply out of the money, utilization of assets in which the transferor does not retain subordinated debt nor grants any credit enhancement to the new holders, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are simultaneously recorded.

 

ii.If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership associated with the transferred financial asset, as in the case of sales of financial assets under repurchase agreements at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, securities lending agreements under which the borrower undertakes to return the same or similar assets, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is not derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and continues to be measured by the same criteria as those used before the transfer. However, the following items are recorded:

 

-An associated financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received; this liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost.
-Both the income from the transferred (but not removed) financial asset as well as any expenses incurred on the new financial liability.

 

iii.If the Bank neither transfers nor substantially retains all the risks and rewards of ownership associated with the transferred financial asset—as in the case of sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is not deeply in or out of the money, securitization of assets in which the transferor retains a subordinated debt or other type of credit enhancement for a portion of the transferred asset, and other similar cases—the following distinction is made:

NOTE 01

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

1.If the transferor does not retain control of the transferred financial asset: the asset is removed from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are recorded.

 

2.If the transferor retains control of the transferred financial asset: it continues to be recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position for an amount equal to its exposure to changes in value and a financial liability associated with the transferred financial asset is recorded. The net carrying amount of the transferred asset and the associated liability is the amortized cost of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at amortized cost, or the fair value of the rights and obligations retained, if the transferred asset is measured at fair value.

 

Accordingly, financial assets are only removed from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the rights over the cash flows they generate have terminated or when all the inherent risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred to third parties. Similarly, financial liabilities are only derecognized from the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the obligations specified in the contract are discharged or cancelled or the contract has matured.

 

i)Recognizing income and expenses

 

The most significant criteria used by the Bank to recognize its revenues and expenses are summarized as follows:

 

i.Interest revenue, interest expense, and similar items

 

Interest revenue and expense are recorded on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

 

However, when a given operation or transaction is past due by 90 days or more, when it originated from a refinancing or renegotiation, or when the Bank believes that the debtor poses a high risk of default, the interest and adjustments pertaining to these transactions are not recorded directly in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income unless they have been actually received.

 

This interest and these adjustments are generally referred to as “suspended” and are recorded in suspense accounts which are not part of the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Income. Instead, they are reported as part of the complementary information thereto and as memorandum accounts (Note 24). This interest is recognized as income, when collected.

 

The resumption of interest income recognition of previously impaired loans only occurs when such loans became current (i.e., payments were received such that the loans are contractually past-due for less than 90 days) or they are no longer classified under the C3, C4, C5, or C6 categories (for loans individually evaluated for impairment).

 

Dividends received from companies classified as “Investments in associates and other companies” are recorded as income when the right to receive them arises.

 

ii.Commissions, fees, and similar items

 

Fee and commission income and expenses are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income using criteria that vary according to their nature. The main criteria are:

 

-Fee and commission income and expenses relating to financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized when they are earned.
-Those arising from transactions or services that are performed over a period of time are recognized over the life of these transactions or services.
-Those relating to services provided in a single act are recognized when the single act is performed.

 

iii.Non-financial income and expenses

 

These are recognized for accounting purposes on an accrual basis.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

iv.Loan arrangement fees

 

Fees that arise as a result of the origination of a loan, mainly application and analysis-related fees, are deferred and charged to in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income over the term of the loan.

 

Regarding fees arising as a result of new products, the Bank immediately records within the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Income the portion that corresponds to direct costs related to loan origination.

 

j)Impairment

 

i.Financial assets:

 

A financial asset, other than that a fair value through profit and loss, is evaluated on each financial statement reporting date to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists.

 

A financial asset or group of financial assets will be impaired if, and only if, objective evidence of impairment exists as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the asset (“event causing the loss”), and this event or events have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset or group of financial assets.

 

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

 

An impairment loss relating to a financial asset available for sale is calculated based on a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value.

 

Individually significant financial assets are individually tested to determine their impairment. The remaining financial assets are evaluated collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.

 

All impairment losses are recorded in Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. Any cumulative loss relating to a financial asset available for sale previously recorded in equity is transferred to profit or loss upon the occurrence of an impairment loss.

 

The reversal of an impairment loss only occurs if it can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment loss was recorded. This reversal is always recorded through income.

 

ii.Non-financial assets:

 

The Bank’s non-financial assets, excluding investment properties, are reviewed at reporting date to determine whether they show signs of impairment (i.e. its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount). If such evidence exists, the amount to be recovered from the assets is then estimated.

 

In connection with non-financial assets, other than goodwill, impairment losses recorded in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased, in which case an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is perfomed. The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years

 

k)Property, plant, and equipment

 

This category includes buildings, land, furniture, vehicles, computer hardware and other fixtures owned by the consolidated entities or acquired under finance leases. Assets are classified according to their use as follows:

i.Property, plant and equipment for own use

 

Property, plant and equipment for own use (including, among other things, tangible assets received by the consolidated entities in full or partial satisfaction of financial assets representing accounts receivable from third parties for assets which are intended to be held for continuing own use and tangible assets acquired under finance leases) are accounted at acquisition cost less the related accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, any impairment losses (net carrying amount higher than recoverable amount).

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the acquisition cost of assets less their residual value, assuming that the land on which buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite life and, therefore, is not subject to depreciation.

 

The Bank must apply the following useful lives for the tangible assets that comprise its assets:

 

ITEM  Useful
Life
(Months)
 
     
Land   - 
Paintings and works of art   - 
Assets retired for disposal   - 
Carpets and curtains   36 
Computers and hardware   36 
Vehicles   36 
Computational systems and software   36 
ATM’s   60 
Machines and equipment in general   60 
Office furniture   60 
Telephone and communication systems   60 
Security systems   60 
Rights over telephone lines   60 
Air conditioning systems   84 
Installations in general   120 
Security systems (acquisitions up to October 2002)   120 
Buildings   1,200 

 

The consolidated entities assess at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of any of their tangible assets’ exceeds its recoverable amount. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and future depreciation charges are adjusted in proportion to the revised carrying amount and to the new remaining useful life, if the useful life needs to be revised.

 

Similarly, if there is an indication of a recovery in the value of a tangible asset, the consolidated entities record the reversal of the impairment loss recorded in prior periods and adjust the future depreciation charges accordingly. In no circumstance may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset increase its carrying amount above the one it would have had if no impairment losses had been recorded in prior years.

 

The estimated useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment held for own use are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period to detect significant changes therein. If changes are detected, the useful lives of the assets are adjusted by correcting the depreciation charge to be recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income in future years on the basis of the new useful lives.

 

Maintenance expenses relating to tangible assets (property, plant and equipment) held for own use are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

ii.Assets leased out under operating leases

 

The criteria used to record the acquisition cost of assets leased out under operating leases, to calculate their depreciation and their respective estimated useful lives, and to record the impairment losses thereof, are consistent with those described in relation to property, plant and equipment held for own use.

 

l)Leasing

 

i.Finance leases

 

Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee.

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor of an asset, the sum of the present value of the lease payments receivable from the lessee plus the guaranteed residual value, which is generally the exercise price of the lessee’s purchase option at the end of the lease term, is recognized as loans to third parties and is therefore included under “Loans and accounts receivable from customers” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position.

 

When the consolidated entities act as lessees, they show the cost of the leased assets in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position based on the nature of the leased asset, and simultaneously record a liability for the same amount (which is the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the sum of the present value of the lease payments payable to the lessor plus, if appropriate, the exercise of the purchase option). The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for property, plant and equipment for own use.

 

In both cases, the finance income and finance expenses arising from these contracts are credited and debited, respectively, to “Interest income” and “Interest expense” in the UnauditedConsolidated Interim Statement of Income so as to achieve a constant rate of return over the lease term.

 

ii.Operating leases

 

In operating leases, ownership of the leased asset and substantially all the risks and rewards incidental thereto remain with the lessor.

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessor, they present the acquisition cost of the leased assets under "Property, plant and equipment.” The depreciation policy for these assets is consistent with that for similar items of property, plant and equipment held for own use and revenues from operating leases is recorded on a straight line basis under “Other operating income” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

When the consolidated entities act as the lessees, the lease expenses, including any incentives granted by the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis to “Administrative expenses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

iii.Sale and leaseback transactions

 

For sale at fair value and operating leasebacks, the gain or loss generated is recorded at the time of sale. In the case of finance leasebacks, the gain or loss generated is amortized over the lease term.

 

m)Factored receivables

 

Factored receivables are valued at the amount disbursed by the Bank in exchange of invoices or other commercial instruments representing the credit which the transferor assigns to the Bank. The price difference between the amounts disbursed and the actual face value of the credits is recorded as interest income in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income through the effective interest method over the financing period.

 

When the assignment of these instruments involves no liability for the assignee, the Bank assumes the risks of insolvency of the parties responsible for payment.

n)Intangible assets

 

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 (contractual terms) 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 or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

Internally developed computer software

 

Internally developed computer software is recorded as an intangible asset if, among other requirements (basically the Bank’s ability to use or sell it), it can be identified and its ability to generate future economic benefits can be demonstrated. The estimated useful life for software is 3 years.

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life; which has been defined as 36 months.

 

Expenditure on research activities is recorded as an expense in the year in which it is incurred and cannot be subsequently capitalized.

 

o)Cash and cash equivalents

 

For the preparation of the cash flow statement, the indirect method was used, beginning with the Bank’s consolidated pre-tax income and incorporating non-cash transactions, as well as income and expenses associated with cash flows, which are classified as investment or financing activities.

 

For the preparation of the cash flow statement, the following items are considered:

 

i.Cash flows: Inflows and outflows of cash and cash equivalents, such as deposits in Central Bank of Chile, deposits in domestic banks and deposits in foreign banks.
ii.Operating activities: Principal revenue-producing activities performed by banks and other activities that cannot be classified as investing or financing activities.
iii.Investing activities: The acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.
iv.Financing activities: Activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the equity and liabilities that are not operating activities.

 

p)Allowance for loan losses

 

The Bank has established allowances to cover probable losses on loans and account receivables in accordance with instructions issued by Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. These models and risk assessment have been approved by the Board of Directors.

 

The Bank has developed models to determine allowances for loan losses according to the type of portfolio or operations. Loans and accounts receivables from customers are divided into three categories:

 

i.Consumer loans,
ii.Mortgage loans, and
iii.Commercial loans.

 

The Bank performs an assessment of loans and account receivable from customers to determine their allowance for loan losses in accordance with:

-Individual assessment - When the Bank assess a debtor as individually significant, or when cannot be classified within a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics, due to their size, complexity or level of exposure.

 

-Collective assessment – A group assessment is relevant for analyzing a large number of operations with small individual balances from individuals or small-size companies. The Bank group debtors with similar credit risk characteristics giving to each group a default probability and recovery rate based on a historical analysis.

 

The models used to determine credit risk allowances are described below:

 

I.Allowance for individual evaluations

 

An individual assessment of commercial debtors is necessary in accordance with the SBIF, in the case of companies which, due to their size, complexity or level of exposure, must be known and analyzed in detail.

 

The Bank assigns to each debtor, his contingent loans and loans a risk category, after assigning them to one of the following portfolio categories: Normal, Substandard and Impaired. The risk factors used are: industry or economic sector, owners or managers, financial situation and payment capacity, and payment behavior.

 

The portfolio categories and their definitions are as follows:

 

i.Normal Portfolio includes debtors with a payment capacity that allows them to comply with their obligations and commitments and there is not likely to change, based on the current economic and financial situation. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from A1 to A6.

 

ii.Substandard Portfolio includes debtors with financial difficulties or a significant deterioration of their payment capacity and about which are reasonable doubts about the reimbursement of the capital and interest within the contractual terms, showing low margin to fulfill their short-term financial obligations. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from B1 to B4.

 

iii.Impaired Portfolio includes debtors and their loans from which payment is considered remote since they show a deteriorated or null payment capacity, with signs of a possible bankruptcy, who required a forced debt restructuring or any debtor who has been in default for over 90 days in his payment of interest or capital, are included in this portfolio. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are categories from C1 to C6.

Normal and Substandard Compliance Portfolio

 

As part of individual assessment, the Bank classifies debtors into the following categories, assigning them a probability of non-performance (PNP) and severity (SEV), which result in the expected loss percentages.

 

Type of Portfolio  Debtor’s
Category
  Probability of
Non-Performance (%)
   Severity (%)   Expected
Loss (%)
 
Normal portfolio  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 
Substandard portfolio  B1   15.00    92.5    13.87500 
   B2   22.00    92.5    20.35000 
   B3   33.00    97.5    32.17500 
   B4   45.00    97.5    43.87500 

 

At the beginning, the Bank determines all credit exposure, which includes the accounting balances of loans and accounts receivable from customers plus contingent loans, minus any amount recovered through executing the guarantees. To the exposure amount thus determined is applied the respective expected loss percentages.

 

Impaired Portfolio

 

The provisions over impaired portfolio include determining, at first, the expected loss rate, deducting any amount recovered by guarantee execution and the present value of recoveries through collection actions, net of related expenses.

 

Once expected loss range is determined, the related allowance percentage is applied over the exposure amount, which include loans plus contingent loans related to a debtor.

 

The allowance percentages applied over exposure are as follows:

 

Classification  Estimated range of loss  Allowance 
C1  Up to 3   2%
C2  More than 3% and up to 20%   10%
C3  More than 20% and up to 30%   25%
C4  More than 30% and up to 50%   40%
C5  More than 50% and up to 80%   65%
C6  More than 80%   90%

II.Allowance for group evaluations

 

The collective evaluation is relevant to address a large number of smaller balance loans related to individuals and small-size companies.

 

Levels of required allowances have been established by the Bank, in accordance with loan losses methodology by classifying and grouping the loan portfolio based on similar credit risk characteristic indicative of debtor’s ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Bank uses models based on debtors’ characteristics, payment history, due and default loans, among others.

 

The Bank uses methodologies to establish credit risk, based on internal models to estimate the allowances for the group-evaluated portfolio, which include non-individually commercial significant loans, mortgage and consumer loans (including installment loans, credit cards and overdraft lines). These methodologies allow the Bank to independently identify the portfolio behavior and establish the provision required to cover losses arising during the year.

 

The customers are classified according to their internal and external characteristics, using customer-portfolio model to differentiate each portfolio’s risk in an appropriate manner. This is known as the allocation profile method.

 

The allocation profile method is based on a statistical construction model that establishes a relation through logistic regression between variables such as default, payment behavior outside the Bank, socio-demographic data, among others, and a response variable which determines the client’s risk, in this case is 90 or more delinquency days. Afterwards, common profiles are established and assigned a Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) and a recovery rate based on a historical analysis known as Severity (SEV).

 

Therefore, once the customers have been profiled and assigned a PNP and a SEV relating to the loan’s profile, the exposure at default (EXP) is calculated. This exposure includes the book value of the loans and accounts receivable from the customer, plus contingent loans, minus any amount that can be recovered by executing guarantees (for credits other than consumer loans).

 

Changes in accounting estimates

 

In 2012, and as a response to the ongoing improvement and monitoring process of the allowance models, the Bank updated its allowance model for consumer loans. Until September 2012, estimated loss rates were established by the historical behavior of charge-offs net of recoveries for each risk profile. This methodology only considered historical debt data for each specific profile and did not include the use of any other statistical information. Since September 2012, loss rate has been estimated as the product of the Probability of Non-Performance (PNP) and Severity (SEV); established according to the historical behavior of the profiles and based on a historical analysis properly supported. These changes had an effect on Consolidated Statement of Income for MCh$ 24,756 in September 2012. The effect of these improvements was considered as a change of estimate according to International Accounting Standard No 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”; therefore, the effect was reported on the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

According to the Management, it is impracticable to determine the effects of these changes in accounting estimate for future periods.

III.Additional provisions

 

According to SBIF regulation, banks are allowed to establish provisions over the limits described below so as to protect themselves from the risk of non-predictable economical fluctuations that could affect the macroeconomical environment or the situation of a specific economical sector.

 

According to No. 10 of Chapter B-1 from the SBIF Compendium of Accounting Standards, these provisions will be recorded in liabilities, similar to provisions for contingent loans. For all period presented herein, no additional provisions have been recorded.

 

IV.Charge-offs

 

As a general rule, charge-offs should be done when the contract rights over cash flow expire. In the case of loans and account receivable from customers, even if the above does not happen, the Bank will charge-off these amounts in accordance with Title II of Chapter B-2 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards (SBIF).

 

These charge-offs consist of derecognition from Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position of the corresponding loans operations in its entirety, and, therefore, include portions not past-due of a loan in the case of installments loans or leasing operations (no partial charge-offs exists).

 

Charge-offs are always recorded under provision for loan losses through the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income for the period in accordance with Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards (SBIF), no matter what causes the charge-off. Subsequent payments obtained from charge-off operations will be recognized at the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income as recovery of loan previously charge-off.

 

Loan and accounts receivable charge-offs are recorded on overdue, past due, and current installments based on the time periods expired since reaching overdue status:

 

Type of loan  Term 
   
Consumer loans with or without collateral   6 months 
Other transactions without collateral   24 months 
Business credits with collateral   36 months 
Mortgage loans   48 months 
Consumer leasing   6 months 
Other non-mortgage leasing transactions   12 months 
Mortgage leasing (household and business)   36 months 

 

Any renegotiation of an already charged-off loan will not give rise to income—as long as the operation is still in an impaired status—and the effective payments received when removed from impaired status are accounted as recovery from loans previously charged off.

 

Renegotiated loans shall recognized as an asset if no longer impaired.

 

V.Recovery of loans previously charged off and accounts receivable from clients

 

Recovery of previously charged off loans and accounts receivable from customers, are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income as a reduction of provision for loan losses.

q) Provisions, contingent assets, and contingent liabilities

 

Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position when the Bank:

 

i.has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past events, and

ii.It is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle these obligations and the amount of these resources can be reliably measured.

 

Contingent assets or contingent liabilities are any potential rights or obligations arising from past events whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence if one or more uncertain future events that are not wholly within control of the Bank.

 

The following are classified as contingent in the supplementary information:

 

i.Guarantees and bonds: Encompasses guarantees, bonds, standby letters of credit and guarantees of payment from buyers in factored receivables.

 

ii.Confirmed foreign letters of credit: Encompasses 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 guarantees: Guarantees with promissory notes.

 

v.Interbank guarantee: Guarantees issued.

 

vi.Unrestricted 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).

 

vii.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 lines of credit linked to the progress of a construction or similar projects.

 

viii.Other contingent credits: 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.

 

The consolidated interim, as well as annual, accounts reflect all significant provisions for which it is estimated that the probability of having to meet the obligation is more likely than not.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

Provisions are quantified using the best available information on the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period and are used to address the specific liabilities for which they were originally recognized. Partial or total reversals are recognized when such obligations cease to exist or are reduced.

 

Provisions are classified according to the obligation covered as follows:

 

-Provision for employee salaries and expenses.
-Provision for mandatory dividends
-Allowance for contingent credit risks
-Provisions for contingencies

 

r)Deferred income taxes and other deferred taxes

 

The Bank records, when appropriate, deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on the tax rate, according to the applicable tax laws, using the tax rate that applies to the period when the deferred asset and liability is settled. The future effects of changes in tax legislation or tax rates are recorded in deferred taxes beginning on the date on which the law approving such changes is published.

 

s)Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In certain cases, generally accepted accounting policies require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for measurement. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Bank has estimated such values based on the best information available, including the use of modeling and other valuation techniques.

 

The Bank has established allowances to cover incurred losses, therefore, to estimate the allowances, they must be regularly evaluated taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio quality, credit quality and economic conditions that may adversely affect the borrowers’ payment capacity. Increases in the allowances for loan losses are reflected as “Provision for loan losses” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. Loans are charged-off when management determines that a loan or a portion thereof is uncollectible. Charge-offs are recorded as a reduction of the provisions for loan losses.

 

The relevant estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed by the Bank’s Management to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and commitments. Revised accounting estimates are recorded in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any affected future period.

 

These estimates, made on the basis of the best available information, mainly refer to:

 

-Impairment losses of certain assets (Notes 7, 8, 9, and 31)
-The useful lives of tangible and intangible assets (Notes 12, 13, and 31)
-The fair value of assets and liabilities (Notes 6, 7, 11, and 34)
-Commitments and contingencies (Note 20)
-Current and deferred taxes (Note 14)

t)Non-current assets held for sale

 

Non-current assets (or a group which includes assets and liabilities for disposal) expected to be recovered mainly through sales rather than through continued use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately prior to this classification, assets (or elements of a disposable group) are re-measured in accordance with the Bank’s policies. The assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value minus cost of sales.

 

As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012 the Bank has not classified any non-current assets as held for sale.

 

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment

 

Assets received or awarded in lieu of payment of loans and accounts receivable from clients are recognized at their fair value (as determined by an independent appraisal). A price is agreed upon by the parties through negotiation, or, when the parties do not reach an agreement, at the amount at which the Bank is awarded those assets at a judicial auction. In the latter case, an independent appraisal is performed. Any excess of the fair value over the outstanding loan balance, less costs to sell of the collateral, is returned to the client.

 

These assets are subsequently adjusted to their net recoverable amount less cost to sale (assuming a forced sale). The difference between the fair value of the asset and the estimated net recoverable amount less costs to sell is charged to net income for the period, under “Other operating expenses”. The result obtained in the sale of the asset is subsequently recorded under “Other operating income”.

 

Independent appraisals are obtained at least every 18 months and fair values are adjusted accordingly. No adjustments have been made between appraisals considering the stability of the real estate market in Chile during past years and the expected stability of the real estate market in the coming years.

 

At least once a year, the Bank performs the necessary analysis to update these assets’ costs to sell. According to the Bank’s survey, as of September 30, 2013 the average cost to sell was estimated at 5.2% of the appraised value (5.5% as of September 30, 2012).

 

u)Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income attributable to the Bank shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

 

Diluted earnings per share are determined in the same way as basic earnings per share, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to take into account the potential diluting effect of stock options, warrants, and convertible debt.

 

As of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and December 31, 2012 the Bank did not have any instruments that generated diluting effects.

v)Temporary acquisition (assignment) of assets

 

Purchases (sales) of financial assets under non-optional resale (repurchase) agreements at a fixed price (“repos”) are recorded in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position based on the nature of the debtor (creditor) under “Deposits in the Central Bank of Chile,” “Deposits in financial institutions” or “Loans and accounts receivable from customers” (“Central Bank of Chile deposits,” “Deposits from financial institutions” or “Customer deposits”).

 

Differences between the purchase and sale prices are recorded as financial interest over the term of the contract.

 

w)Assets under management and investment funds managed by the Bank

 

Assets owned by third parties and managed by certain companies that are within the Bank’s scope of consolidation (Santander Asset Management S.A., Administradora General de Fondos and Santander S.A. Sociedad Securitizadora), are not included in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statements of Financial Position. Management fees are included in “Fee and commission income” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income.

 

x)Provision for mandatory dividends

 

As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and December 31, 2012 the Bank recorded a provision for mandatory dividends. This provision is made pursuant to Article 79 of the Corporations Act, which is in accordance with the Bank’s internal policy. Under Article No 79 of the Corporations Act, at least 30% of net income for the period should be distributed, except in the case of a contrary resolution adopted at the respective shareholders’ meeting by unanimous vote of the outstanding shares. This provision is recorded, as a deducting item, in the “Retained earnings – Provision for mandatory dividends” in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position.

 

y)Employee benefits

 

i.Post-employment benefits – Defined benefit plan:

 

According to current collective bargaining and other labor agreements, the Bank has undertaken to supplement the benefits granted by the public systems corresponding to certain employees and to their beneficial right holders, for retirement, permanent disability or death, outstanding salaries and compensations, contributions to pension funds for active employees and post-employment social benefits.

 

Features of the Plan:

 

The main features of the Post-Employment Benefits Plan sponsored by Grupo Santander Chile Group are:

 

a.Aimed at the Group’s management
b.The general requisite to apply is that the employee must be carrying out his duties when turning 60 years old.
c.The Bank will take on insurance (pension fund) on the employee’s behalf, for which it will pay regularly the respective premium (contribution).
d.The Bank will be directly responsible for granting benefits.

 

“Plan assets” are defined as that will be used to settle the obligations and that meet the following requirements:

 

-They are not owned by the consolidated entities, but by a legally separate third party not related to the Bank.
-They are available only to pay or fund post-employment benefits and cannot be returned to the consolidated entities except when the assets remaining in the plan are sufficient to meet all the obligations of the plan and of the entity in relation to the benefits due to current or former employees or to reimburse employee benefits already paid by the Bank.

y)Employee benefits, continued

 

In accordance with IAS 19 - Revised, for defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations performed at the end of each reporting period. Remeasurement comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest) are recognized immediately in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position with a charge or credit to other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recorded in other comprehensive income is not recycled. However, the Bank may transfer those amounts recognized in other comprehensive income within equity. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit cost are split into three categories:

 

-service cost, past-service cost, gains and losses on curtailments and settlements;
-net-interest expense or income
-remeasurement

 

The Bank presents the first two components of defined benefit costs in the line “Personnel salaries and expense” in its Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. Curtailments gains and losses are accounted for as past-service cost.

 

Remeasurements are recorded in other comprehensive income.

 

A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

 

ii.Severance provision:

 

Severance provision for years of employment are recorded only when they actually occur or upon the availability of a formal and detailed plan in which the fundamental modifications to be made are identified, provided that such plan has already started to be implemented or its principal features have been publicly announced, or objective facts about its execution are known.

 

iii.Share-based compensation:

 

The allocation of equity instruments to executives of the Bank and its Subsidiaries as a form of compensation for their services, when those instruments are provided at the end of a specific period of employment, is recorded as an expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Interim Statement of Income under the “Personnel salaries and expenses” item, as the relevant executives provide their services over the course of the period.

 

These benefits do not generate diluting effects, since they are based on shares of Banco Santander S.A. (the parent company of Banco Santander Chile, headquartered in Spain).

 

z)Reclassification of items

 

Banco Santander Chile has reclassified some items in the Interim Financial Statements to provide relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information.

 

These reclassifications, which did not affect the Bank’s results, have no significant or material impact on the current Unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

aa)Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards

 

i.New and revised IFRS standards effective in current year

 

The following accounting pronouncements have been issued by SBIF and the IASB, which have been fully incorporated by the Bank and are detailed as follows:

 

1.Accounting Standards issued by the SBIF

 

Circular No. 3548 - On March 19, 2013 the SBIF issued this circular to match the name used in the instructions to the newest amendments to IAS 1 replacing “Statement of Income” and “Statement of comprehensive income” by “Statement of income for the period” and “Statement of comprehensive income for the period”. Management has applied these changes in this financial statements.

 

2.New and revised IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board

 

New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

 

In May 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. Subsequent to the issue of these standards, amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 were issued to c1arify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the standards.

 

In the current year, the Bank has applied for the first time IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011) together with the amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 regarding the transitional guidance.

 

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee when a) it has power over the investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and e) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in IFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee.

 

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, and the guidance contained in a related interpretation, SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities - Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers, has been incorporated in IAS 28 (as revised in 2011).

IFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be c1assified and accounted for. Under IFRS 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements - Joint operations and joint ventures.

 

The classification of joint arrangements under IFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Previously, IAS 31 contemplated three types of joint arrangements - jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets. The classification of joint arrangements under IAS 31 was primarily determined based on the legal form of the arrangement (e.g. a joint arrangement that was established through a separate entity was accounted for as a jointly controlled entity).

 

The initial and subsequent accounting of joint ventures and joint operations is different. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed). Investments in joint operations are accounted for such that each joint operator recognizes its assets (including its share of any assets jointly held), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue (including its share of revenue from me sale of the output by me joint operation) and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly). Each joint operator accounts for the assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the applicable Standards.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

 

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - The Bank has applied IFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of IFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities lo fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realizable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

 

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions.

 

Fair value under IFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, IFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

 

IFRS 13 requires prospective application from January 1, 2013. In addition, specific transitional provisions were given to entities such that they need not apply the disclosure requirements set out in the Standard in comparative information provided for periods before the initial application of the Standard. In accordance with these transitional provisions, the

Bank has not made any new disclosures required by IFRS 13 for the 2012 comparative period. The application of IFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (as revised in 2011) - In the current year, the Bank has applied IAS 19 Employee Benefits (as revised in 2011) and the related consequential amendments far the first time.

IAS 19 (as revised in 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefit. The most significant change relates to the accounting 1m changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the 'corridor approach' permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. All actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Furthermore, the ¡interest cost and expected return on plan assets used in the previous version of IAS 19 are replaced with a 'net interest' amount under IAS 19 (as revised in 2011), which is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset These changes have had an impact on the amounts recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income in prior years (see the tables below for details). In addition, IAS 19 (as revised in 2011) introduces certain changes in the presentation of the defined benefit cost including more extensive disclosures. Specific transitional provisions are applicable to firs-time application of IAS 19 (as revised in 2011). The Bank has applied the relevant transitional provisions and restated the comparative amounts on a retrospective basis (see Note 2 “Accounting changes” for details).

 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive Income - The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income introduce new terminology, whose use is not mandatory, for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to IAS 1, the ‘statement of comprehensive income' is renamed as the 'statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income' (and the 'income statement' is renamed as the 'statement of profit or loss'). The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to IAS 1 require items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently lo profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis - the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to IAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - The Bank has applied the amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for the first time in the current year. The amendments to IFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement. The amendments have been applied retrospectively. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

IAS 27 (2011), Separate Financial Statements - IAS 27 Consolidated and Separated Financial Statements was modified by IFRS 10 but keeps the current guidelines for separate financial statements. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

IAS 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures - IAS 28 Investments in Associates was modified to comply with changes related to the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. These amendments did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ii.New accounting regulations and instructions issued by the SBIF as well as by the IASB not enforced as of September 30, 2013.

 

At the end date of these financial statements new IFRS had been published as well as interpretations of these regulations that were not mandatory as of September 30, 2013. Though in some cases, the IASB has allowed for their in-advance adoption, the Bank has not done so up to said date.

 

1.Accounting regulations issued by the SBIF

 

As of September 30, 2013 there are no new accounting regulations issued by SBIF to be implemented.

 

2.New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective issued by the International Accounting Standards Board

 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - IFRS 9, issued in November 2009, introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.

IFRS 9 was amended in October 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.

 

Key requirements of IFRS 9:

 

·All recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are required to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognized in profit or loss.

 

·With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

 

·Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability's credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

 

·Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss is presented in profit or loss.

 

The Bank, pursuant to SBIF instructions, will not apply this regulation early. Moreover, it will not be applied until the SBIF establishes it is mandatory for all banks.

Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - The amendments to IAS 32 c1arify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments c1arify the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off' and 'simultaneous realization and settlement'.

Management does not anticipate that the application of these amendments to IAS 32 will have a significant impact on the Bank's consolidated financial statements as the Bank does not have any financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify for offset. Management expects this new standard to be adopted in the consolidated financial statements of the Bank for the period beginning in January 1, 2014.

 

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 Investment Entities - The amendments to IFRS 10 define an investment entity and require a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements.

 

To qualify as an investment entity, a reporting entity is required to:

 

·Obtain funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with professional investment management services.
·Commit to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both.
·Measure and evaluate performance of substantially all of its investments on a lair value basis.

 

Consequential amendments have been made to IFRS 12 and IAS 27 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities. Management is currently evaluating the possible impact this might have.

 

Amendment to IAS 36, Impairment of Asset Value - On May 29, 2013, IASB published “Information to be disclosed regarding the Recoverable Amount of Non-Financial Assets”. The amendments to IAS 36 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (group of units) for which the carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated to that unit (group of units) is significant when compared to the entity’s total carrying amount of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives; require an entity to disclose the recoverable amount of an individual asset (including goodwill) or a cash-generating unit for which the entity has recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period; require an entity to disclose additional information about the fair value less costs of disposal of an individual asset, including goodwill, or a cash-generating unit for which the entity has recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period, including: a) the level of the fair value hierarchy (from IFRS 13) within which the fair value measurement is categorized, b) the valuation techniques used to measure fair value less costs of disposal, c) key assumptions used in the measurement of fair value measurements categorized within 'Level 2' and 'Level 3' of the fair value hierarchy; require an entity to disclose the discount rate used, where an entity has recognized or reversed an impairment loss during the reporting period and recoverable amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal determined using a present value technique (this amendment originated in the 2010-2012 cycle of annual improvements in the exposure draft published in May 2012).

 

The overall effect of the amendments is to reduce the circumstances in which the recoverable amount of assets or cash-generating units is required to be disclosed, clarify the disclosures required, and to introduce an explicit requirement to disclose the discount rate used in determining impairment (or reversals) where recoverable amount (based on fair value less costs of disposal) is determined using a present value technique. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of these amendments.

 

Amendments to IAS 39 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement' - On 27 September 2013 the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued 'Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting'. Under the amendments there would be no need to discontinue hedge accounting if a hedging derivative was novated, provided certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014, with earlier application being permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of this regulation.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND OTHER RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

a) Accounting changes

 

On January 1, 2012, the IASB published an amended to IAS 19 “Employee benefits”, modifying the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits (effective from January 1, 2013).

 

The most significant change requires the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and value of plan assets when they occur, and therefore eliminates the ‘corridor approach’ allowed under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerates the recognition of past service costs. The amendments required must be applied retrospectively following IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors”.

b.Treasury

The Treasury Division provides sophisticated financial products, mainly to companies in the Wholesale Banking area and the Companies segment. These include products such as short-term financing and fund raising, brokerage services, derivatives, securitization, and other tailor-made products. The Treasury area also manages the Bank’s trading positions.

 

Corporate Activities (“Other”)

 

This segment includes Financial Management, which develops global foreign exchange structural position functions, involving the parent company’s structural interest risk and liquidity risk, mainly through bond issuances. This segment also manages the Bank’s personal funds, capital allocation by unit, and the financing of investments made. The foregoing usually results in a negative contribution to income.

 

In addition, this segment encompasses all the intra-segment income and all the activities not assigned to a given segment or product with customers.

 

The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies. The Bank earns most of its income in the form of interest income, fee and commission income and income from financial operations. To evaluate a segment’s financial performance, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) bases his assessment on the segment's interest income, fee and commission income, and expenses.

b)Hedge accounting

 

Fair value hedge:

 

The Bank uses cross-currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and call money swaps to hedge its exposure to changes in fair value of hedged items attributable to interest rates. The aforementioned hedging instruments change the effective cost of long-term issuances from a fixed interest rate to a variable interest rate, decreasing the duration and modifying the sensitivity to the shortest segments of the curve.

 

Below is a detail of the hedged elements and hedge instruments under fair value hedges as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 classified by term to maturity:

Cash flow hedges:

 

The Bank uses cross currency swaps to hedge the risk from variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rates of bonds and interbank loans at a variable rate. To cover the inflation risk in some items, we use both forwards as well as currency swaps. Both the cash flows of the cross currency swaps as well as over forwards equal the cash flows of the hedged items, and modify uncertain cash flows.

 

Below is the nominal amount of the hedged items as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the period when the cash flows will be generated:

NOTE 22

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (BASEL)

 

Pursuant to the Chilean General Banking Law, the Bank must maintain a minimum ratio of effective equity to risk-weighted consolidated assets of 8% net of required allowances, and a minimum ratio of basic equity to consolidated total assets of 3%, net of required allowances. However, as a result of the Bank’s merger in 2002, the SBIF has determined that the Bank’s combined effective equity cannot be lower than 11% of its risk-weighted assets. Effective net equity is defined for these purposes as basic equity (capital and reserves) plus subordinated bonds, up to a maximum of 50% of basic equity.

 

Assets are allocated to different risk categories, each of which is assigned a weighting percentage according to the amount of capital required to be held for each type of asset. For example, cash, deposits in banks and financial instruments issued by the Central Bank of Chile have a 0% risk weighting, meaning that it is not necessary to hold equity to back these assets according to current regulations. Property, plant and equipment have a 100% risk weighting, meaning that a minimum capital equivalent to 11% of these assets must be held. All derivatives traded off the exchanges are also assigned a risk weighting, using a conversion factor applied to their notional values, to determine the amount of their exposure to credit risk. Off-balance-sheet contingent credits are also included for weighting purposes, as “Credit equivalents.”

 

According to Chapter 12-1 of the SBIF’s Recopilación Actualizada de Normas [Updated Compilation of Rules] effective January 2010, the SBIF changed existing regulation with the enforcement of Chapter B-3 from the Compendium of Accounting Standards, with changed the risk exposure of contingent allocations from 100% exposition to the following:

  

Type of contingent loan  Exposure 
     
a) Pledges and other commercial commitments   100%
b) Foreign letters of credit confirmed   20%
c) Letters of credit issued   20%
d) Guarantees   50%
e) Interbank guarantee letters   100%
f) Available lines of credit   50%
h) Other loan commitments     
- Higher Education Loans Law No. 20,027   15%
- Other   100%
i) Other contingent loans   100%

NOTE 33

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

In addition to Affiliates and associated entities, the Bank’s “related parties” include its “key personnel” from the executive staff (members of the Bank’s Board and the Managers of Banco Santander Chile and its Affiliates, together with their close relatives), as well as the entities over which the key personnel could exercise significant influence or control.

 

The Bank also considers the companies that are part of the Santander Group worldwide as related parties, given that all of them have a common parent, i.e., Banco Santander S.A. (located in Spain).

 

Article 89 of the Ley de Sociedades Anónimas (Public Companies Act), which is also applicable to banks, provides that any transaction with a related party must be made under equitable conditions similar to those that customarily prevail in the market.

 

Moreover, Article 84 of the Ley General de Bancos (General Banking Act) establishes limits for loans that can be granted to related parties and prohibits lending to the Bank’s directors, managers, or representatives.

 

Transactions between the Bank and its related parties are specified below. To facilitate comprehension, we have divided the information into four categories:

 

Santander Group Companies

 

This category includes all the companies that are controlled by the Santander Group around the world, and hence, it also includes the companies over which the Bank exercises any degree of control (Affiliates and special-purpose entities).

 

Associated companies

 

This category includes the entities over which the Bank, in accordance with section b) of Note 1 to these Financial Statements, exercises a significant degree of influence and which generally belong to the group of entities known as “business support companies.”

 

Key personnel

 

This category includes members of the Bank’s Board and the managers of Banco Santander Chile and its Affiliates, together with their close relatives.

 

Other

 

This category encompasses the related parties that are not included in the groups identified above and which are, in general, entities over which the key personnel could exercise significant influence or control.

 

The terms for transactions with related parties are equivalent to those which prevail in transactions made under market conditions or to which the corresponding considerations in kind have been attributed.

NOTE 34

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Fair value is understood as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

 

For financial instruments with no available market prices, fair values have been estimated by using recent transactions in analogous instruments, and in the absence thereof, the present values or other valuation techniques based on mathematical valuation models sufficiently accepted by the international financial community. In the use of these models, consideration is given to the specific particularities of the asset or liability to be valued, and especially to the different kinds of risks associated with the asset or liability.

 

These techniques are inherently subjective and are significantly influenced by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, the estimates of future cash flows and prepayment expectations. Hence, the fair value estimated for an asset or liability may not coincide exactly with the price at which that asset or liability could be delivered or settled on the date of its valuation, and may not be justified in comparison with independent markets.

 

Measurement of fair value and hierarchy

 

IAS 39 provides a hierarchy of fair value which separates the inputs and/or valuation technique assumptions used to measure the fair value of financial instruments. The hierarchy reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy of fair values are the following:

 

Level 1: In quoted prices on active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or the liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The hierarchy level within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirely is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to fair value the measurement in its entirety.

 

The best evidence of a financial instrument’s fair value at the initial time is the transaction price (Level 1).

 

In cases where quoted market prices cannot be observed, Management makes its best estimate of the price that the market would set using its own internal models which in most cases use data based on observable market parameters as significant input (Level 2) and, in very specific cases, significant inputs not observable in market data (Level 3).

 

Financial instruments at fair value and determined by quotations published in active markets (Level 1) include:

 

- Chilean Government and Department of Treasure bonds

 

In the case instruments that cannot be totally observed in the market, price is established based on other observable prices (level 2).

  Description
         
ž Mortgage and private bonds   Present Value Model  

IRR are provided by Riskamerica, according to the following criterion:

If, at the valuation day, there are one or more valid transactions at the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given nemotechnic, the reported rate is the weighted average by the amount of observed rates.

In case there are no valid transactions for a given nemotechnic on valuation day, the reported rate is IRR base from a reference structure, plus a spread model based on historical spread for the same item or similar ones.

         
ž Time deposits   Present Value Model  

IRR are provided by Riskamerica, according to the following criterion:

If, at the valuation day, there are one or more valid transactions at the Santiago Stock Exchange for a given nemotechnic, the reported rate is the weighted average by the amount of observed rates.

In case there are no valid transactions for a given nemotechnic on valuation day, the reported rate is IRR base from a reference structure, plus a spread model based on issuer curves.

         
ž Constant Maturity Swaps (CMS), FX and Inflation Forward (Fwd) , Cross Currency Swaps (CCS), Interest Rate Swap (IRS)   Present Value Model  

IRR are provided by ICAP, GFI, Tradition, and Bloomberg according to this criterion:

With published market prices, a valuation curve is created by the bootstrapping method and is then used to value different derivative instruments.

         
ž FX Options   Black-Scholes  

Formula adjusted by volatility smile Prices (volatility) are provided by BGC Partners, according to the following criterion:

With published market prices, a volatility surface is created by interpolation and then these volatilities are used to value options.

 

In limited occasions significant inputs not observable in market data are used (Level 3). To carry out this estimate, several techniques are used, including extrapolation of observable market data or a mix of observable data.

 

The following financial instruments are classified Level 3:

 

Type of
 financial instrument
  Model
used in valuation
  Description
         
ž Caps/Floors/Swaptions   Black Normal Model for Cap/Floors and Swaptions   There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
         
ž UF options   Black – Scholes   There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
         
ž Cross currency swap with window   Hull-White   Hybrid HW Model for rates and Browning motion for FX. There is no observable input of implicit volatility.
         
ž CCS (special contracts)   Implicit Forward Rate Agreement (FRA)   Start Fwd unsupported by MUREX (platform) due to the UF forward estimate.
         
ž Cross currency swap, Interest rate swap, Call money swap in Tasa Activa Bancaria (Active Bank Rate) TAB,   Other   Validation obtained by using the interest curve and interpolating at flow maturities, but TAB is not a directly observable variable and is not correlated to any market input.
         
ž Bonds (in our case, low liquidity bonds)   Present Value Model   Valuated by using similar instrument prices plus a charge/off rate by liquidity.

The potential effect as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 on the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurrent basis through unobservable significant market data (Level 3), generated by changes in the main assumptions if other reasonably possible assumptions that are less or more favorable were used, were not considered by the Bank to be significant.
