IMPORTANT NOTICE

The unaudited financial statements included in this 6K have been prepared in accordance with the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF) of Chile. The accounting principles issued by the SBIF are substantially similar to IFRS, but there are some exceptions. The SBIF is the banking industry regulator that according to article 15 of the General Banking Law, establishes the accounting principles to be used by the banking industry. For those principles not covered by the Compendium of Accounting Standards, banks can use generally accepted accounting principles issued by the Chilean Accountant’s Association AG and which coincides with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In the event that discrepancies exist between the accounting principles issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards) and IFRS, the Compendium of Accounting Standards will take precedence. The Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain additional information to that submitted in the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These notes provide a narrative description of such statements.
