3.       New Accounting Pronouncements:

 

3.1 Accounting standards issued by IASB:

 

The following is a summary of new standards, interpretations and improvements to the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) which are not effective as of June 30, 2017:

 

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.

 

On July 24, 2014, the IASB concluded its improvement project on the accounting for financial instruments with the publication of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

 

This standard includes new requirements based on principles for the classification and measurement, introduces a “prospective” model of expected credit losses on impairment accounting and changes in hedge accounting.

 

The designation of the classification, determining how financial assets and liabilities are accounted for in the financial statements and, in particular, how they are measured. IFRS 9 introduces a new approach to the classification of financial assets, based on the entity’s business model for the management of financial assets and the characteristics of contractual flows.

 

In terms of impairment standard establishes a single model that applies to all financial instruments, thus eliminating a source of complexity associated with previous accounting requirements, which require a timely recognition of expected credit losses.

 

IFRS 9 introduces changes to the requirements for accounting hedge, and also new alternatives of strategies to use. The amendments means a substantial overhaul of hedge accounting that aligns the accounting treatment with risk management activities, enabling entities to better reflect these activities in their financial statements. In addition, as a result of these changes, users of the financial statements will be provided with better information about risk management and the effect of hedge accounting on the financial statements.

 

This standard also established that the change in fair value that corresponds to own credit risk will be recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, thus reducing any eventual volatility that would be generated in the income of the entity as a result of its recognition. Earlier application of this improvement is permitted, prior to any other requirement of IFRS 9.

 

Mandatory adoption date is January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

 

Banco de Chile, as a securities issuer on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), carried out during the year 2016 an analysis of the differences between IFRS 9 and the current provisions contained in IAS 39. As a result, it has been initiated the execution of a work plan for the implementation of the new standard in order to comply with the required for the preparation and presentation of the annual report 20F to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

For the purpose of these financial statements, this rule has not yet been approved by the SBIF, an event that is required for its local application.

 

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, it is not possible to quantify the impacts that will result from the adoption of this new standard.

3.       New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

In May 2014 was issued IFRS 15, which it has like purpose established the principles that will apply an entity to present useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, opportunity and uncertainty of the income for ordinaries activities and cash flows that it is related to a contract with a client.

 

This new standard replace the following current standard and interpretations: IAS 18 – Revenue, IAS 11 – Construction contracts, IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programs, IFRIC 15 – Agreements for the Construction of Real State, IFRIC 18 – Transfers of Assets from Customers and SIC 31 – Revenue: Barter Transactions involving.

 

The new model will apply to all contracts with customers, except those that are inside to the scope of the others IFRS, such as leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments.

 

On April 12, 2016, IASB issued amendments to IFRS 15, clarifying requirements and providing a temporary relief to companies that are implementing the new standard.

In short the amendments clarify how:

 

-Identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or service to a customer) in a contract;

-Determining whether a company is the principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (the organization responsible for the good or service provided); and

-Determine whether the product of a license must be recognized at a point in time or over time.

 

The date of application of this new standard starts in January 1, 2018, early adoption permitted.

 

Banco de Chile has conducted an initial review of the potential impacts of the adoption of IFRS 15, focused on fees and customer loyalty programs income. Regarding the review of the remaining contracts of the Bank and subsidiaries, a detailed review is being carried out to quantify the potential impact of the adoption of the mentioned standard.

 

IFRS 16 - Leases.

 

On January 2016 was issued IFRS 16, which has as purpose to establish principles to recognize, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases contracts, for both lessee and lessor.

 

This new rule is no different to the previous rule, IAS 17 – Leases, related to the accounting treatment for the lessor. However, related to the lessee, the new rule requires recognize the assets and liabilities, so eliminate the differences between financial and operating lease.

 

The effective date of application is beginning January 1, 2019. Early adoption permitted but only if IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers is also applied.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

3.        New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

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

 

In September 2014, the IASB issued this amendment, which clarifies the scope of recognized gains and losses in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, and this depends on whether the asset sold or contribution is a business. Therefore, IASB concluded that all of the profit or loss should be recognized against loss of control of a business. Likewise, gains or losses resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that is not a business (definition of IFRS 3) to an associate or joint venture should be recognized only to the extent of unrelated interests in the associate or joint venture.

 

On December 2015 the IASB agreed that the amendments should apply in the future, allowing its immediate application.

 

This amendment will not impact on the consolidated financial statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

 

IFRS 2 – Share-based payments.

 

In June 2016, the IASB made amendments to IFRS 2 related to the classification and measurement of transactions of share-based payment.

 

The amendments address the following areas:

 

Compliance conditions when share-based payments are settled in cash.

 

Classification of share-based transactions, net of withholding of income tax.

 

Accounting for changes made to the terms of the contracts which modify the classification of cash-settled payments or settled in equity shares.

 

The date of application of these amendments is from January 1, 2018, early adoption permitted.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will have no impacts on the consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this standard.

3.        New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts.

 

In September 2016, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts to address concerns arising from the application of new pronouncements included in IFRS 9.

 

The amendment introduces the following two approaches to those entities that issue insurance contracts:

 

An overlay approach, will give to all companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognize in other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new contract insurance rule is issued; and

 

A postponement approach, will give to companies whose activities are mostly connected with insurances an optional temporary exemption to the application of IFRS 9 until 2021. The Entities who defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue applying the existing financial instruments standard.

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries will have no impact on the consolidated financial statements result on the adoption of this standard.

 

IAS 28 – Investments in associates and joint ventures.

 

In December 2016, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRS Cycle 2014-2016, which included the amendment to IAS 28. This amended to clarify that a venture capital organization or a mutual fund, investment trust and similar entities may choose to account for their investments in joint ventures and associates at fair value or using the equity method. The amendment also makes it clear that the method chosen for each investment should be made at the initial time.

 

The date of application of these amendments is from January 1, 2018.

 

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

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

3.        New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

IAS 40 – Investment Property.

 

IAS 40 requires that an asset be transferred to (or from), investment property only when there is a change in its use.

 

The amendment, issued in December 2016, clarifies that a change in management’s intentions for the use of a property does not provide, in isolation, evidence of a change in its use. An entity must, therefore, have taken observable actions to support such a change.

 

The date of application of these amendments is from January 1, 2018.

 

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

 

IFRIC 22 – Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration.

 

In December 2016, the IASB issued Interpretation IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”.

 

This Interpretation applies to a foreign currency transaction when an entity recognizes a non-financial asset or non-financial liability arising from the payment or collection of an early consideration before the entity recognizes the related asset, expense or income.

 

The IFRIC specifies that at the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to be used in the initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income, it is the date on which the entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability that Arising from the payment or collection of the anticipated consideration. That is, the related income, expenses or assets should not be re-evaluated with changes in the exchange rates between the date of the initial recognition of the early consideration and the date of recognition of the transaction to which said consideration relates.

 

The date of application of these amendments is from January 1, 2018.

 


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

3.        New Accounting Pronouncements, continued:

 

IFRS 17 –Insurance Contracts.

 

In May 2017, the IASB issued this new standard for Insurance Contracts that will allow investors to better understand the risk exposure of insurers, their profitability and their financial position.

 

IFRS 17 solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring that all insurance contracts be accounted for consistently, benefiting both investors and insurance companies. Insurance obligations will be accounted by using current values, rather than historical cost. The information will be updated periodically, providing more useful information to the users of the financial statements

 

The date of application of these amendments is from January 1, 2021, early adoption permitted.

 

This standard will not impact on the consolidated financial statements of Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries.

 

IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

 

In June 2017, the IASB published IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, developed by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. This interpretation indicates what disclosures should be made when there is uncertainty about the treatment followed by the entity to determine the income tax payable.

 

When it is not clear how the tax law applies to a particular transaction or circumstance, or if a tax authority accepts the tax treatment of a company. IAS 12 Income Taxes specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements in addition to the requirements of IAS 12 specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in the accounting of income taxes.

 

The date of application of this interpretation is from January 1, 2019.

 

The Bank is evaluating the impact of this new interpretation.

 

3.2       Accounting standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (“SBIF”):

 

On December 12, 2016, the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (“SBIF”) issued Circular No. 3,615, which establish that, as from 2017, the financial statements referred to as of June 30 of each year must be delivered to the SBIF with the respective review report of the interim financial information issued by its external auditors in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.

 

4.       Changes in Accounting policies and Disclosures:

6.       Segment Reporting, continued:

 

The financial information used to measure the performance of the Bank’s business segments is not comparable with similar information from other financial institutions because each institution relies on its own definitions. The accounting policies applied to the segments is the same as those described in the summary of accounting principles. The Bank obtains the majority of the results for: interest, indexation and commissions, net of provisions and expenses. Management is mainly based on these concepts to evaluate the performance of the segments and make decisions about the goals and allocations of resources of each unit. Although the results of the segments reconcile with those of the Bank at the total level, this is not necessarily the case in terms of the different concepts, given that management is measured and controlled individually and not on a consolidated basis, applying the following criteria:

 

The net interest margin of loans and deposits is obtained aggregating the net financial margins of each individual operation of credit and uptake made by the bank. For these purposes, the volume of each operation and its contribution margin are considered, which in turn corresponds to the difference between the effective rate of the customer and the internal transfer price established according to the term and currency of each operation.

 

The capital and its financial impacts on outcome have been assigned to each segment based on the risk-weighted assets.

 

Operational expenses are reflected at the level of the different functional areas of the Bank. The allocation of expenses from functional areas to business segments is done using different allocation criteria, at the level of the different concepts and expense items.

 

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

 

For the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there was no income from transactions with a customer or counterparty that accounted for 10% or more of the Bank’s total revenues.

10.  Derivative Instruments and Accounting Hedges, continued:

 

(b)Fair value Hedges:

 

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

 

Below is a detail of the hedged elements and instruments under fair value hedges as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

 

  June   December
  2017   2016
  MCh$   MCh$
Hedge element      
Commercial loans 15,384   16,721
Corporate bonds 113,595   122,081
       
Hedge instrument      
Cross currency swap 15,384   16,721
Interest rate swap 113,595   122,081

 

(c)Cash flow Hedges:

 

(c.1)The Bank uses cross currency swaps to hedge the risk from variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the interest rates and foreign exchange of foreign banks obligations and bonds issued abroad in US Dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Peruvian Sol, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yens and Euros. The cash flows of the cross currency swaps equal the cash flows of the hedged items, which modify uncertain cash flows to known cash flows derived from a fixed interest rate.

 

Additionally, these cross currency swap contracts used to hedge the risk from variability of the Unidad de Fomento (“CLF”) in assets flows denominated in CLF until a nominal amount equal to the portion notional of the hedging instrument CLF, whose readjustment daily impact the item “interest revenue” of the income financial statements.

(c)       Cash flow Hedges, continued:

 

Regarding to assets denominated in Unidad de Fomento (“UF”) hedged; these are revalued monthly according to the variation of the UF, which is equivalent to monthly reinvest the assets until maturity of the hedging relationship.

 

(c.3)The unrealized results generated during the period 2017 by those derivative contracts that conform the hedging instruments in this cash flow hedging strategy, have been recorded with credit to equity amounting to Ch$10,800 million (charge to equity of Ch$6,394 million in June 2016). The net effect of taxes credit to equity amounts to Ch$8,046 million in 2017 (net charged to equity of Ch$4,859 million during the period June 2016).

 

The accumulated balance for this concept as of June 30, 2017 corresponds to a charge in equity amounts to Ch$16,730 million (charge to equity of Ch$27,530 million as of December 31, 2016).

 

(c.4)The effect of the cash flow hedge derivatives that offset the result of the hedged instruments corresponds to a credit to income of Ch$6,946 million during the period 2017 (charge to results for Ch$88,184 million during the period June 2016).

 

(c.5)As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, does not exist inefficiency in cash flow hedge, because both, hedge item and hedge instruments, are mirrors of each other, it means that all variation of value attributable to rate and revaluation components are netted totally.

 

(c.6)As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Bank does not have hedges of net investments in foreign business.

The effective rate for income tax for 2017 is 16.39% (14.29% in June 2016).

 

On September 29, 2014, Law 20,780 published in the Diario Oficial of Chile (equivalent to the “Federal Register”), amended the System of Income Taxation and introduces various adjustments in the tax system.

 

In the same line, on February 8, 2016 Law 20,899 was published, which made changes to the Law 20,780, specifically in relation to the tax regime which by default corresponds to corporations.

 

Article 8 of Law 20,899 establishes that open corporations must apply the tax regime of first category with partial deduction of the credit in the final taxes, a regime characterized by the fact that shareholders will only be entitled to allocate against personal taxes (Global Supplementary or Additional), 65% of the first category tax paid by the company.

 

For this tax regime, the law establishes a gradual increase of first category tax rates according to the following table:

 

Year Rate
2014 21.0%
2015 22.5%
2016 24.0%
2017 25.5%
2018 27.0%

 

Additionally, according to No. 11 of Article 1 of Law 20,780, as from January 1, 2017, the rate of additional tax has been increased to rejected expenses of article 21 from 35% to 40 %.

The income tax effect presented a charge to equity of Ch$2,754 million (credit of Ch$1,535 million in June 2016).

 

The valuation adjustment of investments available for sale originates from fluctuations in the fair value of such portfolio, with a charge or credit to equity. During the period 2017, it was made a credit to equity for Ch$3,821 million (charge of Ch$55,947 million during the period 2016). The deferred tax effect meant a charge to equity of Ch$974 million (credit for Ch$13,428 million in June 2016).

 

The cumulative translation adjustment is due to the Bank’s valuation of its permanent investments abroad, since it recognizes the effects of exchange differences on these items in equity. There were no variations for this concept (charge to equity of $59 million during the period 2016).

39.Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries have defined a corporate framework for valorization and control related with the process to the fair value measurement.

 

Within the established framework includes the Product Control Unit, which is independent of the business areas and reports to the Financial Management and Control Division Manager. The Financial Risk Management Area is responsible for independent verification of the results of trading and investment operations and all fair value measurements.

 

To achieve the appropriate measurements and controls, the Bank and its subsidiaries, take into account at least the following aspects:

 

(i)Industry standard valorization.

 

To value financial instruments, Banco de Chile uses industry standard modeling; quota value, share price, discounted cash flows and valuation of options through Black-Scholes-Merton, in the case of options. The input parameters for the valuation correspond to rates, prices and levels of volatility for different terms and market factors that are traded in the national and international market.

 

(ii)Quoted prices in active markets.

 

The fair value for instruments with quoted prices in active markets is determined using daily quotes from electronic systems information (Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bloomberg, LVA and Risk America, etc). This quote represents the price at which these instruments are regularly traded in the financial markets.

 

(iii)Valuation techniques.

 

If no quotes are available for the instrument to be valued, valuation techniques will be used to determine the fair value.

 

Due to, in general, the valuation models require the entry of market parameters, the aim is to maximize information based on observable or price-related quotations for similar instruments in active markets. In the event that there is no information in active markets, data from external suppliers of market information, prices of similar transactions and historical information are used to validate the valuation parameters.

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

 

(iv)Fair value adjustments.

 

As part of the valuation process considers two adjustments to the market value of each instrument calculated based on the market parameters; a liquidity adjustment and a Bid/Offer adjustment. The latter represents the impact on the valuation of an instrument depending on whether corresponds to a long or purchased position or if the position corresponds to a short or sold position. To calculate this adjustment is used the active market prices or indicative prices depending on the instrument, considering the Bid, Mid and Offer, respectively.

 

On the other hand, the liquidity adjustment calculation considers the size of the position in each factor, the particular liquidity of each factor, the relative size of Banco de Chile in relation to the market and the liquidity observed in recent operations in the market.

 

(v)Fair value control.

 

Daily is executed a process of independent verification of prices and rates, in order to control that the market parameters used by Banco de Chile in the valuation of the financial instruments correspond to the current state of the market and the best estimate of the fair value. The objective of this process is to control that the official market parameters provided by the respective business area, before being entered into the valuation, are within acceptable ranges of differences when compared to the same set of parameters prepared independently by the Financial Risk Control and Management Area. As a result, value differences are obtained at the level of currency, product and portfolio, which are compared against specific ranges for each grouping level.

 

In the case of relevant differences exist, these are scaled according to the amount of individual materiality of each market factor and aggregated at the portfolio level, according to the grouping levels with previously defined ranges. These ranges are approved by the Finance, International and Financial Risk Committee.

 

In parallel and complementary, the Financial Risk Control and Management Area generates and reports on daily basis P&L and Exposure to Market Risks, which allow the proper control and consistency of the parameters used in the valuation.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

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

 

(vi)Judgmental analysis and information to Management.

 

In particular cases, where there are no market quotations for the instrument to be valued and there are no prices for similar transactions or indicative parameters, a specific control and a reasoned analysis must be carried out in order to estimate the fair value of the operation. Within the valuation framework described in the Reasonable Value Policy approved by the Board of Directors of Banco de Chile, a required level of approval is set in order to carry out transactions where market information is not available or it is not possible to infer prices or rates from it.

 

(a)Hierarchy of instrument valued at Fair value:

 

Banco de Chile and its subsidiaries, classify all the financial instruments among the following levels:

 

Level 1:These are financial instruments whose fair value is realized at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. For these instruments there are observable market prices (return internal rates, quote value, price), so that assumptions are not required to value.

 

In this level, the following instruments are considered: currency futures, Chilean Central Bank and Treasury securities, mutual fund investments and equity shares.

 

For the instruments of the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic, all those mnemonics belonging to a Benchmark, in other words corresponding to one of the following categories published by the Santiago Stock Exchange, will be considered as Level 1: Pesos-02, Pesos-03, Pesos-04, Pesos-05, Pesos-07, Pesos-10, UF-02, UF-04, UF-05, UF-07, UF-10, UF-20, UF-30. A Benchmark corresponds to a group of mnemonics that are similar in duration and are traded in an equivalent way, i.e., the price obtained is the same for all the instruments that make up a Benchmark. This feature defines a greater depth of market, with daily quotations that allow classifying these instruments as Level 1.

 

In the case of debt issued by the Government, the internal rate of return of the market is used to discount all flows to present value. In the case of mutual funds and equity shares, the current market price multiplied by the number of instruments results in the fair value.

 

The preceding described valuation methodology is equivalent to the one used by the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago (Santiago Stock Exchange) and correspond to the standard methodology used in the market.

 

 88

 

 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

 

 

 

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

 

Level 2: They are financial instruments whose fair value is made with variables other than the prices quoted in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). These categories include:

 

a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

c)Inputs data other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

 

d)Inputs data corroborated by the market.

 

At this level there are mainly derivatives instruments, debt issued by banks, debt issues of Chilean and foreign companies, issued in Chile or abroad, mortgage claims, financial brokerage instruments and some emissions of the Central Bank of Chile and the General Treasury of the Republic.

 

To value derivatives, it will depend on whether they are impacted by volatility as a relevant market factor in standard valuation methodologies; for options the Black-Scholes-Merton formula is used; for the rest of the derivatives, forwards and swaps, net present value through discounted cash flows is used.

 

For the rest of the instruments at this level, as for Level 1 debt issues, the valuation is done through the internal rate of return.

 

In the event that there is no observable price for an instrument in a specific term, the price will be inferred from the interpolation between periods that have observable quoted price in active markets. These models incorporate various market variables, including the credit quality of counterparties, exchange rates and interest rate curves.

Level 3: These are financial instruments whose fair value is determined using non-observable inputs data. An adjustment to an input that is significant to the entire measurement can result in a fair value measurement classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, if the adjustment uses significant non-observable data entry.

 

The instruments likely to be classified as level 3 are mainly Corporate Debt by Chilean and foreign companies, issued both in Chile and abroad.

In order to determine the sensitivity of the financial investments to changes in significant market factors, the Bank has made alternative calculations at fair value, changing those key parameters for the valuation and which are not directly observable in screens. In the case of the financial assets listed in the table above, which correspond to Bank Bonds and Corporate Bonds, it was considered that, since there are no current observables prices, the input prices will be based on brokers’ quotes. The prices are usually calculated as a base rate plus a spread. For Local Bonds it was determined to apply a 10% impact on the price, while for the Off Shore Bonds it was determined to apply a 10% impact only on the spread, since the base rate is covered by interest rate swaps instruments in the so-called accounting hedges. The 10% impact is considered a reasonable move taking into account the market performance of these instruments and comparing it against the bid / offer adjustment that is provisioned by these instruments.

The other financial assets and liabilities not measured at their fair value, but for which a fair value is estimated, even if not managed based on such value, include assets and liabilities such as placements, deposits and other time deposits, debt issued, and other financial assets and obligations with different maturities and characteristics. The fair value of these assets and liabilities is calculated using the discounted cash flow model and the use of various data sources such as yield curves, credit risk spreads, etc. In addition, due to some of these assets and liabilities are not traded on the market, periodic reviews and analyzes are required to determine the suitability of the inputs and determined fair values.

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

 

(f)     Levels of other assets and liabilities, continued:

 

The Bank determines the fair value of these assets and liabilities according to the following:

 

Short-term assets and liabilities: For assets and liabilities with short-term maturity (less than 3 months), it is assumed that the book values approximate to their fair value. This assumption is applied to the following assets and liabilities:

 

    Assets   Liabilities
         
  - Cash and deposits in banks - Current accounts and other demand deposits
         
  - Transactions in the course of collection - Transactions in the course of payments
         
  - Repurchase agreements and security lending - Repurchase agreements and security lending
         
  - Loans and advance to banks - Other financial obligations

 

Loans to Customers: Fair value is determined by using the discounted cash flow model and internally generated discount rates, based on internal transfer rates derived from our internal transfer price policy. Once the present value is determined, we deduct the related loan loss allowances in order to incorporate the credit risk associated with each contract or loan. As we use internally generated parameters for valuation purposes, we categorize these instruments in Level 3.

 

Letters of Credit and Bonds: In order to determine the present value of contractual cash flows, we apply the discounted cash flow model by using market interest rates that are available in the market, either for the instruments under valuation or instruments with similar features that fit valuation needs in terms of currency, maturities and liquidity. The market interest rates are obtained from third party price providers widely used by the market. As a result of the valuation technique and the quality of inputs (observable) used for valuation, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 2.

 

Saving Accounts, Time Deposits, Borrowings from Financial Institutions and Subordinated Bonds: The discounted cash flow model is used to obtain the present value of committed cash flows by applying a bucket approach and average adjusted discount rates that derived from both market rates for instruments with similar features and our internal transfer price policy. As we use internally generated parameters and/or apply significant judgmental analysis for valuation purposes, we categorize these financial liabilities in Level 3.

(g)       Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities:

 

The Bank trades financial derivatives with foreign counterparties using ISDA Master Agreement (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.), under legal jurisdiction of the City of New York – USA or London – United Kingdom. Legal framework in these jurisdictions, along with documentation mentioned, it allows Banco de Chile the right to anticipate the maturity of the transaction and then, offset the net value of those transactions in case of default of counterparty. Additionally, the Bank has negotiated with these counterparties an additional annex (CSA Credit Support Annex), that includes other credit mitigating, such as entering margins on a certain amount of net value of transactions, early termination (optional or mandatory) of transactions at certain dates in the future, coupon adjustment of transaction in exchange for payment of the debtor counterpart over a certain threshold amount, etc.
