NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

1. RELEVANTS EVENTS

On January 1, 2008, the merger of Banco de Chile and Citibank Chile became effective, with the former assuming the assets and liabilities of the latter.  Consequently, as of that date, Banco de Chile is the legal successor of Citibank Chile.

2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

On November 9, 2007, the Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions issued Circular No. 3,410, through which it enacted the new Compendium of Accounting Standards that Banks must comply with, in the context of convergence with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) developed by this Superintendency.  This Compendium establishes, among other matters, the monthly and annual financial statement presentation formats that the Banks must apply starting on January 1, 2008.  These new criteria will only affect financial statement presentation and will not affect the accounting criteria used by the Bank during 2008. This compendium in its transitory dispositions, does not establishes any obligation for disclosure of comparative financial statement in intermediate periods.

Additionally, the mentioned circular established the obligation to arise a provision for minimum dividends.

“The consolidated financial statements, consolidated statement of income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows are available at www.bancochile.cl, as well as at Banco de Chile Principal Offices”.
