- Fair value option<br />

As indicated in the Compendium of Accounting Standards of the SBIF, banks are not allowed to measure certain assets and<br />

liabilities at fair value instead of at their amortized cost.<br />

- Classification of instruments held for trading and investment<br />

The Company classifies its financial instruments acquired for trading and investing in three categories and applies a uniform<br />

accounting treatment for each one of these categories considering the following:<br />

- The instruments available for sale shall not be adjusted to fair value with changes recorded in profit or loss.<br />

- For presentation purposes in the consolidated statement of financial position, the investments in mutual funds are<br />

grouped with trading securities adjusting changes in their fair value through profit or loss.<br />

- Instruments having a derivative component that should be separated, but cannot be valued separately, are included in the<br />

category of trading securities and received the accounting treatment attributable to that portfolio of investments.<br />

- In the extraordinary case that an equity instrument included in the trading securities portfolio stops being traded, and it<br />

is not possible to obtain a reliable estimate of its fair value, will be included in the category of available for sale instruments.<br />

- Recognition in the Statement of Financial Position according to trade date<br />

The purchase and sale of financial instruments, including foreign currency adjustments, are recognized in the consolidated<br />

statement of financial position at the trade date, that is, the date when the Company assumes the reciprocal obligations<br />

that must be fulfilled within the period established by regulation or market conventions in the market in which the Company<br />

operates.<br />

- Embedded derivatives<br />

The Company will not treat as embedded derivatives Chilean currency indexation adjustments (e.g. those adjustments based<br />

foreign currency fluctuations o fluctuation of the Chilean consumer-price index such as the IPC, UF, IVP or UTM) approved by<br />

the Chilean Central Bank.<br />

- Hedges accounting<br />

The financial instruments recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded through profit or loss are not subject to hedges<br />

accounting, unless they are embedded derivatives that cannot be separated from the host contract.<br />

The options issued by the bank can only be designated as a hedge instruments to compensate for purchased options incorporated<br />

into a host contract that cannot be separated.<br />

2. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements<br />

The SBIF does not request the preparation of explanatory notes for the quarterly interim financial statements. Consequently,<br />

inclusion of such notes is voluntarily and has been gradually implemented during 2010.<br />

Considering the volume and complexity of the banking operations of the <strong>Banco</strong> <strong>Security</strong> Subsidiary, Management has adopted<br />

SVS Circular No. 506 issued on February 13, 2009, which establishes that the differences between the IFRS-SBIF and IFRS<br />

standards should only be calculated and disclosed to the extent that such calculation is possible.<br />

The insurance subsidiary, Vida <strong>Security</strong>, is regulated by the standards of the SVS which has established a convergence plan from<br />

local standards (Chile GAAP) to IFRS for insurance companies for the year ending 2012. Consequently, the financial statements
