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.
