Exhibit 99.1

 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
Consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and independent auditor's report

 
 

 

 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the shareholders of
   CORPBANCA
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CORPBANCA and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Bank"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
 
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting standards and instructions issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. This responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 
Auditor's Responsibility
 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Chile. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
 
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the Bank's consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
Opinion
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CorpBanca and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles and instruction issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions.
 
Other matters
 
As discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2012 the Bank acquired 91.93% of the shares of Banco Santander Colombia S.A. (currently Bank CorpBanca Colombia S.A.) and the 94.94% of the shares of its subsidiary Santander Investment Securities S.A. Comisionista de Bolsa (Currently CorpBanca Colombia S.A. Investment Trust) for an approximate amount of MM$557,612; and also acquired 94.5009% of the shares of Santander Investment Trust Colombia S.A. (currently Corpbanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A.) for an approximate amount of MCh$22,560. The aforementioned entities have been consolidated in these financial statements from the respective acquisition dates. The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities consolidated in these financial statements, as discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been provisionally determined which under the requirements of IFRS 3 is permitted to use this provisional determination subject to changes within one-year period. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside of Chile.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
General Information - Background of the Bank and Subsidiaries CorpBanca Bank
 
CorpBanca is a banking corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile. The institution aims is to and celebrate all those acts, contracts, business operations or the General Banking Act permitted without prejudice to extend or restrict its scope in harmony with the laws that are enacted in the future, without the necessary to amend its charter. This database includes individuals to large corporations.
 
i) Our Story
 
CorpBanca is the oldest private bank currently operates in Chile. It was founded as Banco de Concepción in 1871 by a group of residents of the city of Concepción, led by Aníbal Pinto, who later became President of the Republic of Chile. In 1971, ownership of Banco de Concepción was transferred to a government agency, the Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO). In that year the Bank acquired French and Italian in Chile, which allowed its expansion in Santiago. Between 1972 and 1975 acquired banks Chillan and Valdivia. In November 1975, CORFO sold its shares to private, who took control of the bank in 1976. In 1980 it changed its name to Banco Concepción.
 
In 1983 the Banco Concepción was intervened by the Superintendency of Banks of Chile, and remained in control until 1986, when it was acquired by the National Mining Association (SONAMI). Under the control of the latter, Banco Concepción focused on financing for small and medium mining companies, raising capital and selling part of their high risk of the portfolio at the Central Bank of Chile.
 
In 1996 a group of investors, led by Mr. Alvaro Saieh Bendeck, acquired a majority stake of Banco Concepción. After the change of ownership in 1996, the controlling group took significant steps to improve risk management, improve operational efficiency and expand operations CorpBanca. These measures included strict implementation of provisions, cost reduction, technological improvements and productivity gains. As part of the changes, changed its name to “CorpBanca ‘and establishes administrative and management team with extensive experience in the financial services industry in Chile.
 
Since 1998 it has expanded its operations significantly, both through acquisitions and the consumer loan division of Corfinsa of Banco Sud Americano (now Scotiabank Chile), and Financiera Condell S.A. - As through organic growth. In this context, international expansion began in 2009 with the opening of the branch in New York, in 2011 with the opening of the representative office in Madrid and the acquisition of the banking subsidiary of Colombia of Banco Santander Espana (concretized in the first half of 2012, now called Banco CorpBanca Colombia SA, see Note 12 “Investments in other companies”, letter b) of the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Related to this, it was reported the signing of an agreement, which provided for the acquisition of up to 100% of the shares of Helm Bank SA and all its subsidiaries and Helm Insurance Broker SA, all entities operating in the Republic of Colombia. After the closing of this transaction, Helm Bank and Corpbanca Bank will merge to operate as a single bank.
 
ii) Currently CorpBanca

Its total consolidated assets totaled MCh$13,528,223 (U.S.$28,233 million) and shareholders ‘equity to MCh$996,315 (U.S.$2,079 million).

Her business-supplemented subsidiaries and insurance brokerage, AGF, financial advisory and other-, and trading on-a branch in New York, a representative office in Madrid and a banking subsidiary in Colombia.
 
Since its acquisition by Grupo Saieh, CorpBanca has shown a remarkable performance, with a significant expansion of market share and sustained improvements in profitability. In twelve months to December 2012 return on average equity (ROAE) reached 14.0% and Basel ratio was 11.05%. In the 12 months that ended in November 2012 its market share in deposits in Chile grew by 75.3 basis points, reaching 8.3%. The key to success of CorpBanca has been to understand the needs of customers, with innovative products and services, with a highly qualified management and very close.
 
One of the most important milestones during 2012 CorpBanca was 91.93% acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia SA (today Corpbanca Colombia) and thus a share in a stockbroker and a fiduciary. With this acquisition, CorpBanca strengthens its growth strategy and becomes the first Chilean financial institution that has a foreign bank subsidiary. CorpBanca’s total investment in this transaction amounted to approximately U.S. $ 1,110 million were financed with equity and a new capital increase of U.S.$560 million. Furthermore, CorpGroup agreed with Group Santo Domingo, one of the largest business groups in Colombia, for entry into Corpbanca property as long-term investor and no shareholder agreement, with an investment of U.S.$100 million (equivalent to 2.7% of the property). Consequently, two important Latin American economic groups joined forces as shareholders of CorpBanca to execute its expansion plan and support in building business relationships and create value for its customers in Colombia.
 
In this sense, in October 2012 is announced agreement between CorpGroup and Helm Corporation to acquire up to 100% of Helm Bank SA through its subsidiary CorpBanca Colombia. With this acquisition and subsequent merger, CorpBanca consolidate its operations in that country, reaffirming the long-term commitment to this market. Bank management expects that this operation is realized in the first quarter of 2013, after the approval of regulators in Chile and Colombia.

The recent announcement by International Finance Corporation (IFC, part of the World Bank) to invest in shares of first issuance of CorpBanca are part of this increase. This increase in assets will materialize within the first quarter of 2013. With the slack that is generated from this new increase, is to make a placement of subordinated bonds exclusively abroad.
 
In the triennium 2012-2015, the development of the strategy CorpBanca in Chile will be based on the benefits provided by its membership in a group with presence in major economic sectors of the national economy.

d)        Non-controlling interest
 
The non-controlling interest represents the equity and net income in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Bank. The non-controlling interest is disclosed as a separate line item within equity in the consolidated statements of financial position and as a separate line item within the consolidated statements of income.
 
e)        Business Combinations and Goodwill
 
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the net identifiable assets acquired. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
 
When CorpBanca and subsidiaries acquires a business, it assesses the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and other relevant conditions at the date of acquisition. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
 
If the business combination is done in stages, the acquirer’s stake previously held in the acquired assets, measured at fair value at the date of the respective acquisition, is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date in which you take control and recognize the resulting gain or loss.
 
Any contingent consideration that must be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent considered as an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”, either as profit or loss or as a change in other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not remeasure until it finally settled as part of equity.
 
Goodwill is initially measured at cost, as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest in respect of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed net. If this proves consideration less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in income.
 
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment. At the end of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, from the acquisition date, to each of the cash generating units expected Group will benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

k)         Criteria for measurement of assets and liabilities
 
The criteria for measuring assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying statement of financial position are as follows:
 
Ÿ      Assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost:
 
The concept of amortized cost of a financial asset or a financial liability is the initial measurement of the asset or liability adjusted for incremental costs (in more or less as applicable) by the systematically recognized in the profit and loss accounts the difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount corresponding to maturity.
 
In the case of financial assets, amortized cost also includes corrections to its value for impairment they experienced.
 
In the case of financial instruments, the systematically recognized in the consolidated income statement are recorded by the effective rate method. The effective interest rate is the rate that equals the value of a financial instrument to all its estimated cash flows of all kinds through its residual life.
 
Ÿ       Assets measured at fair value:
 
Fair value of an asset or liability is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability could be settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The most objective evidence of the fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be paid in an active market (“quoted price” or “market price”).
 
When there is no quoted market price in an active market to determine the amount of the fair value for a certain asset or liability, the price established in recent transactions of similar instruments is considered in order to estimate its fair value.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Where it is not possible to determine the fair value of a financial asset or liability, which is valued at amortized cost.
 
In additionally, according to what is indicated in Chapter A-2 “or further limitations to the use of general criteria” Compendium of Accounting Standards, banks may not appoint to value assets and liabilities at fair value, replacing the general criteria amortized cost.
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of general criteria amortized cost except:
 
 
Ÿ
Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
 
Ÿ
The assets available for sale are measured at fair value, when this is less than its carrying value less costs of realization.
 
Ÿ
The trading instruments are measured at fair value.
 
Ÿ
Investment securities held for sale are measured at fair value.
 
Ÿ      Assets valued at cost
 
For acquisition cost means the cost of the transaction for the acquisition of the asset, less any impairment losses that have experienced, if any.
 
1) Trading portfolio financial assets
 
Trading securities are securities acquired with the intention of generating a profit from price fluctuations in the short term or through brokerage margins, or are included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short profit taking term.
 
Trading instruments are measured at fair value in accordance with market prices or valuation models using the closing date of the statement of financial position. Gains or losses from adjustments to fair value measurement, as well as the results of trading activities, and accrued interest and adjustments are reported as “Trading and investment income, net” in the income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
The instruments available for sale are subsequently measured at fair value based on market prices or valuation models use, less impairment losses. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are charged or credited to equity accounts. When these investments are sold or impaired, the amount of the fair value adjustments accumulated in equity is transferred to income and reported under the line “Trading and investment income, net”.
 
Held to maturity investments are recorded at cost plus accrued interest and adjustments, less provision for impairment when the carrying amount exceeds the estimated recoverable amount.
 
Interest and adjustments of investments held to maturity and available for sale instruments are included under “Interest income”.
 
Investment instruments that are subject to hedge accounting are adjusted for hedge accounting rules, see letter n) of this note to the financial statements.
 
Purchases and sales of investment instruments to be delivered within the time period established by regulation or market convention are recognized at trade date, which commits to purchase or sell the asset.
 
The Bank has evaluated its portfolio classified under the headings “investments held to maturity and Financial investments available-for-sale”, to see if there are indicators of impairment. This assessment includes economic evaluations, credit rating of issuers in debt and the intention and ability to hold these investments Administration to maturity. Based on the evaluation of Directors believes that these investments do not have evidence of impairment.
 
n) Financial derivative contracts
 
Financial derivative contracts including foreign exchange forwards and forwards in unidades de fomento (inflation index-linked units of account), interest rate futures, currency and interest rate swaps, interest rate options, and other derivative instruments are initially recognized at cost (including transaction fees) and are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair value is obtained from market quotes, discounted cash flow models and option valuation models, as appropriate. Derivatives contracts are presented on the statement of financial position as an asset when their change in fair value is positive and as a liability when is negative under line item “Derivative financial instruments” within the assets and liabilities section.
 
Certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are treated as separate derivatives when their risk and economic characteristics are not clearly related to those of the host contract such host contract is not being recorded at fair value through profit or loss.
 
On the inception of derivatives contract, these should be designated by the Bank as a trading derivative or as a hedging instrument for hedge accounting purposes.
 
Changes in fair value of financial derivative contracts held for trading are included in “Trading and investment income, net” in the income statement.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If the derivative is classified as a hedge, it may be (1) a hedge of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or firm commitments, or (2) a hedge of cash flows related to assets or liabilities existing or forecasted transactions. A hedging relationship for hedge accounting purposes, must meet all the following conditions: (a) at the inception of the hedging relationship is formally documented hedging relationship, (b) the coverage is expected to be highly effective (c) the effectiveness of the hedge can be measured reasonably and (d) the hedge is highly effective in relation to hedged risk on an ongoing basis throughout the hedging relationship.
 
Transactions with derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized and presented as trading derivatives, even if they provide an effective economic hedge for managing risk positions.
 
When a derivative instrument hedges the risk exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, the asset or liability is recorded at its fair value with respect to the specific risk hedged. Gains or losses from measuring the fair value of the item hedged and the hedging derivative instrument are recognized in income.
 
If the hedged item in a fair value hedge is a firm commitment, the changes in the fair value of the firm commitment with respect to the hedged risk are recognized as assets or liabilities with the corresponding gain or loss recognized in income. The gains or losses from measuring the fair value of the hedging derivative instrument are also recorded in income. When an asset or liability is acquired or assumed as a result of the firm commitment, the initial carrying amount of the acquired asset or assumed liability is adjusted to include the cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk that was recognized in the statement of financial position.
 
When a derivative instrument hedges exposure to variability in cash flows of recognized assets or liabilities, or highly probable forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in fair value with regard to the risk hedged is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion is immediately recognized in income.
 
The amounts recognized directly into equity are recorded as earnings for the same periods in which the hedged asset or liability would affect the income.
 
When making a fair value hedge interest rate for a portfolio, and the hedged item is an amount of currency instead of assets or liabilities, the earnings or losses from fair value measurement of both the hedged portfolio and the hedging derivative are recognized effect on earnings, whereas the associated measurement of the asset/liability at fair value of the hedged portfolio is presented in the balance sheet under “Other assets “ or “Other liabilities”, depending on the position of the portfolio cover at a time.
 
Financial derivative contracts which have compensatory effects across subsidiaries in a set of consolidated financial statements are offset in the consolidated balance sheet only when the subsidiaries have both a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts recognized in those

instruments, the intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
 
o) Revenue and expense recognition
 
The most significant criteria used by the Bank to recognize revenue and expenses are summarized as follows:
 
Interest revenue, interest expense and similar items
 
Interest revenue and expense are recorded on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
 
However, the recognition of accrued interest in the consolidated income statement is suspended for debt instruments individually classified as impaired and for the instruments for which impairment losses have been assessed collectively because they have payments more than three months past due. This interest is recognized as income, when collected, as a reversal of the related impairment losses.
 
Dividends received from investments in other companies are recognized in income when the right to receive them has been entitled, and are presented under item; “Income attributable to investments in other companies”.
 
Commissions, fees, and similar items
 
Fee and commission income and expenses are recorded in the consolidated statements of income based on criteria that differ according to their nature. The main criteria are:
 
Ÿ
Income/expenses arising from transactions or services that are performed over a period of time are recorded over the life of such transactions or services.
Ÿ
Income/expenses originated by a specific act are recognized when the specific act has occurred.
Ÿ
Those relating to financial assets or liabilities that are recognized at the time of collection.
 
Non-finance income and expenses
 
Non-finance income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
 
Loan arrangement fees
 
Financial fees arising in the arrangement of loans, primarily origination fees, research and information, should be accrued and recognized in income over the life of the loan. In the case of commitment fees are recognized immediately in the income share of the related direct costs incurred in arranging for such operations.

p) Impairment
 
The Bank and its subsidiaries use the following criteria to evaluate impairment, if they exist:
 
Financial assets
 
A financial asset is assessed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists.
 
A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’), and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of a financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. It may not be possible to identify a single, discrete event that caused the impairment.
An impairment loss relating to financial assets recorded at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
 
An impairment loss relating to a financial asset available for sale is calculated based on its fair value.
 
Individually significant financial assets are assessed individually to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists. The remaining financial assets are included in groups with similar credit risk characteristics and are collectively assessed for impairment.
 
All impairment losses are recorded in income. Any cumulative loss relating to a financial asset available for sale that has been recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to income.
 
The reversal of an impairment loss occurs only if it can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment loss was recognized. In the case of financial assets carried at amortized cost and those debt instruments classified as financial assets available for sale, the reversal of impairment losses is recorded in income.
 
Non-financial assets
 
The Banks carrying amount of non-financial assets, excluding investment properties and deferred taxes are regularly reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. In the case of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or that are not ready for their intended use their recoverable amounts are estimated at each reporting date.
 
Impairment losses recognized in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date with the aim to find any indication that the loss has decreased or disappeared. An impairment loss is reversed only

to the extent that the asset’s values which may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
 
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is tested to determine whether there is an impairment, annually (as of December 31 of each year), and when circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may be impaired. The impairment of goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, a loss is recognized impairment. The impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
 
q) Property, plant and equipment and leases
 
The components of fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
 
The above cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of such assets. The construction phase cost includes the cost of materials and direct labor, and any other costs directly attributable to the asset process to become fit for use.
 
In case of an item of fixed asset possesses a different life, they will be recorded as separate items (major components of the fixed asset item).
 
Depreciation is recognized in the income statement based on the straight-line method, this over the useful lives of each part of an item of fixed assets. Assets associated with leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease and their useful lives unless it is sure it will obtain ownership by the end of the lease period.
 
This item includes the amount of buildings, land, furniture, vehicles, computer equipment and other facilities owned by the consolidated or acquired under fmance leases. Assets are classified according to their use:
 
Property, plant and equipment for own use
 
Fixed assets for own use (including, among others, tangible assets received by the consolidated entities for the liquidation of all or part of financial assets representing receivables from third parties and give providing continuing use as well as being acquired under a fmance lease) are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, estimated losses resulting from comparing the carrying amount of each item with its recoverable amount.
 
For this purpose, the acquisition cost of foreclosed assets is the carrying amount of the financial assets in exchange for their award.
 


 
 

 


 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the acquisition cost of assets minus their residual value. The land on which buildings and other structures stand has an indefinite life and, therefore, is not subject to depreciation.
 
The Bank applies the following useful lives to the fixed assets that comprise its total assets:
 
Item
Useful life
(Years)
Buildings
75
Facilities
10
Furniture
10
Vehicles
10
Office equipment
10
Security instruments and implements
5
Other minor assets
5

The consolidated entities assess at the end of each reporting date whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of any of their tangible assets exceeds its recoverable amount; if so, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and future amortization charges are adjusted in proportion to the revised carrying amount and to the new remaining useful life, if the useful life needs to be re-estimated.
 
Similarly, if there is an indication of a recovery in the value of a tangible asset, the consolidated entities record the reversal of the impairment loss recognize in prior periods and adjust the future amortization charges accordingly. In no circumstance may the reversal of an impairment loss on an asset increase its carrying value above the one it would have had if no impairment losses had been recorded in prior years.
 
The estimated useful lives of the items of property, plant and equipment held for own use are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period to determine significant changes therein. If changes are detected, the useful lives of the assets are adjusted by correcting the amortization charge to be recorded in the consolidated statements of income in future years on the basis of the new useful lives.
Maintenance expenses are recorded as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets leased out under an operating lease - Operative Leasing
 
They consist of contracts where CorpBanca or his subsidiaries act as lessee and the contract classifies under operating leasing - the payments are recorded as expenses. At the end of the contract any additional payments required by the landlord it will be recorded as expenses of the period.

Financial leases - leasing contracts
 
They consist of leases which grant the tenant the option to purchase the leased asset at the end of the contract. The sum of the present value of the installments that they will receive from lessee in addition to the purchase option is recorded as a third party financing are shown under loans and accounts receivable. Assets acquired for leasing operations are presented under “Other assets” at acquisition cost.
 
r)        Loans and receivables from customers and banks
 
They are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable fees that are not quoted in an active market and which CorpBanca does not intend to sell immediately or in the short term, measured at amortized cost using the method of the effective interest rate.
 
When the Bank is the lessor in a lease and transfers substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the leased asset, the transaction is provided in loan placements.
 
s)        Factoring Loans
 
The Bank makes factoring transactions with customers, through which they receive invoices and other commercial instruments representing claims, with or without responsibility, anticipating the assignor a percentage of total amounts receivable from the debtor transferred documents. These loans are valued at acquisition value of the credits. The price difference of the receivables, accrued over the period of financing. The responsibility for the payment of claims is the transferor.
 
t)        Leasing Loans
 
Accounts receivable for leasing contracts, included under “Loans and receivables from customers”, corresponding to the periodic rent contracts that meet the requirements to be classified as financial leases and are stated at their nominal value net of unearned interest at year end.
 
u)        Allowances for loan losses Individual and group provision
 
The allowances required to cover the risk of losses of loans, loans, credit exposures, and contingent loans, should be determined and recognized on a monthly basis, considering the types of existing provisions, the evaluation models used and the types of operations.
 
The evaluation models, criteria and procedures to perform an overall assessment of credit risk and to determine the amount of provision to be recognized, are approved by the Bank’s Directors Committee and are defined in the Credit Policy; in accordance with the regulations and instructions of the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Processes and compliance of the Policy are evaluated and supervised according to internal control procedures in order to ensure compliance and to maintain an adequate level of provisions that would cover losses attributable to expected and incurred impairment.
 
Allowances are referred to as “individual” when corresponding to debtors that are individually evaluated, as considering their size, complexity or level of exposure making it necessary to analyze them in detail and, are referred to as “group” when corresponding to a large number of operations with similar characteristics whose amounts are not individually significant and relate to individuals or small-size companies.
Allowances are classified as: Individuals
 
Ÿ          Individual allowances over normal portfolio
Ÿ          Individual allowances over substandard portfolio
Ÿ          Individual provisions on default portfolio
 
Group
 
Ÿ          Group allowances over normal portfolio
Ÿ          Group allowances over default portfolio.
 
i) Individual Allowances
 
Individual assessment means that credit assessment is necessary when dealing with companies whose size, complexity or level of exposure with the Bank, is necessary to analyze and get to know them in detail.
 
The classification methodology is based on provisions and regulations of the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions for this purpose, assigning risk categories to each debtor, according to the following details:
 
Normal Compliance portfolio. Applies to debtors whose ability to pay and fulfill their obligations and commitments haven’t displayed any signals that may change this condition, according to the economic and financial situation. The classifications assigned to this portfolio are the categories ranging from Al to A6. Notwithstanding the above, the Bank must maintain a minimum provisioning rate of 0.5% on loans and contingent loans portfolio.
 
Substandard portfolio. Includes debtors with financial difficulties or who have presented significant deterioration on their ability to pay and for which there is reasonable doubt about the full repayment of principal and interest on agreed contractual terms, showing a low margin to meet its short-term financial obligations. Part of this portfolio consists of debtors who in recent times have presented over 30 days delinquency. The ratings assigned to this portfolio are the categories that range from B1 to B4.
 

 
 

 


 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Defaulted Portfolio. Includes debtors and their loans for which recovery is considered remote, given that they display a deteriorating or no ability to pay. They are part of this portfolio those debtors where clear indications of a possible bankruptcy exist, those that require a forced restructuring of debts and any debtor where a delay less than 90 days in the payment of interest or principal exists. The ratings assigned to this portfolio are the categories ranging from Cl to C6.
 
As part of the individual analysis of the debtors, the Bank classifies its debtors in the three categories above, assigning percentages of provisions regulated by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions to be applied to each of the individual categories, according the following:
 
Portfolio Type

C1
More than 0 up to 3 %

90%

 
ii) Allowances Group
 
Group evaluations require the formation of groups of loans with similar characteristics, in the type of debtors and conditions agreed, with the objective of establishing the payment behavior of the group in question including such factors as the treatment of recoveries.
 
The constitution of provisions methodology is based on experience, underlying the payment behavior for each homogeneous group of debtors and recovery of collateral and collection actions, to directly estimate a percentage of expected losses applied to the amount of credits of the respective group.
 
 
 
 

 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Among the credits evaluated in groups, there are two states, normal and non-compliance. The portfolio includes loans in default for 90 days or more.
 
Additional Provisions
 
The Bank constitutes additional provisions in accordance with Section 9 of Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, recorded as a liability (see letter z) “provisions and contingent liabilities”). These provisions were constituted in order to safe keep against risk and predictable macroeconomic fluctuations that may affect a sector, industry or group of debtors, in order to anticipate reversal situations in a expansive economic cycles in the future, that could reflect deteriorating conditions of the economic environment and, thus, function as an anti-cyclical mechanism of accumulation of additional provisions when the scenario is favorable and releasing or assigning specific provisions when environmental conditions deteriorate.
 
These provisions must be approved by the Board of Directors, the Bank must have documented procedures and criteria and explaining unpredictable economic fluctuations that may affect the macroeconomic environment or the situation of a specific economic sector.
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has additional provisions for its portfolio of commercial, consumer and mortgage debtors required by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (see note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
v) Impaired loan portfolio and write-offs
 
The impaired loan portfolio includes those loans (heading “Loans and receivables from banks” and “Loans and receivables from customers”) on which there is concrete evidence that debtors will not meet some of their contractual payment obligations — regardless of the possibility to collect the amounts due by referring to the collaterals - by exercising legal collection actions or by agreeing different contractual conditions.
 
However, debtors subject to individual assessment should be considered in the impaired portfolio when classified in any of the categories of “Portfolio in Default”, as well as B3 and B4 categories of “Substandard portfolio. “Equally, as debtors subject to group evaluation, the impaired portfolio includes all loans in default portfolio.
 
Based on above, the Bank will incorporate and maintain these loans in the impaired loan portfolio while debtors’ behavior or payment capacity has not changed, without prejudice to the fact that writing off credits individually make take place under the write-off conditions indicated below.
 
Impairment identification is provided on a monthly basis in a centralized manner by the Risk Classification and Provision System, as defined in the Credit Policy, which is consistent with the standards issued by the SBIF.
 


 
 

 


 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
Ÿ         Write-offs
 
As a general rule, write-offs must be made when the contractual rights over cash flows expire. For loans, even when the foregoing has not occurred, write-offs must be made against the respective asset balances in accordance with Title II, Chapter B-2, “charge-off and written off loans “of the SBIF’ s Compendium of Accounting Standards.
 
The write-offs remove the asset corresponding to the relevant transaction from the Statement of Financial Position, including the portion that may not have become due in the case of an installment loan or a leasing transaction (there are no partial write-offs).
 
Write-offs must always be recorded through a charge against the loan loss allowances established as prescribed in Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards, whatever the cause of the write-off may be.
 
Write-offs of loans and accounts receivable are based on due, past-due and current installments, and the term must run from the commencement of the arrears, i.e., the write-off must be recorded when the arrears on an installment or portion of a loan in a given transaction reaches the time limit for write-off stipulated below:
 
Type of loans
Deadline
Consumer loans with or without collaterals
6 months
Consumer leasing
6 months
Other non-real estate leasing operations
12 months
Other operations without collaterals
24 months
Commercial loans with collaterals
36 months
Real estate leasing (commercial and mortgage)
36 months
Mortgage loans
48 months

The deadline corresponds to the time elapsed since the date in which all or part of the debt in arrears became due.
 
Ÿ         Recovery of charged-off asset
 
Subsequent payments that were obtained by punished operations are recognized in results as loan recoveries, under “credit risk provisions”, netting the provision expense for the year.
 
In the event that there are real recoveries, the profit income will be recognized by the amount by which they are incorporated into the asset, as described in Chapter B-5 “Assets received in lieu of payment of obligations” of the Compendium Accounting Standards. The same approach will be followed if the leased property to recover after the write-off is a leasing operation.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31,2012 and 2011
 
Ÿ         Renegotiation of Charged-off transactions
 
Renegotiations of written-off credits shall not originate income, for as long as the operation continues to be classified as impaired; whereas any payments so received must be treated as recoveries of written-off credits.
 
A renegotiated credit may only re-enter the assets if it ceases to be classified as impaired, also recognizing the credit as recovery of written-off credits. The same criteria should be followed in the event that a loan is granted to pay a write-off.
 
w) Contingent Asset and liabilities
 
Contingent loans are those operations or commitments in which the bank assumes a credit risk upon committing itself before third parties, before the occurrence of a future fact, to make a payment or disbursement that must be recovered from its clients..
 
The bank and its subsidiaries keep a record of the following balances -related to commitments or to liabilities of its own line of business- in memorandum accounts: Collaterals and guarantees, confirmed foreign letters of credit, documentary letters of credit issued, bank vouchers, inter-bank vouchers, freely disposable lines of credit, other credit commitments and other contingent loans.
 
The balances of such Contingent loans are considered at closing of each financial statement in order to determine the credit risk provisions required under Chapter B-1 “Credit Risk Provision” of the Compendium of Accounting Standards of the SBIF, the amounts must be computed according to a risk exposure factor, according to the following table:
 
Type of contingent loan
Exposure
   
a)     Collaterals and guarantees
100%
b)     Confirmed foreign letters of credit
20%
c)     Documentary letters of credit issued
20%
d)     Bank vouchers
50%
e)     Inter-bank vouchers
100%
f )    Freely disposable lines of credit
50%
g)    Other credit commitments:
 
   - Superior (university) study credits - Law N°20,027
15%
   - Other
100%
h)    Other Contingent loans
100%

Nevertheless, in case of operations with clients with loans in default as described in section B-1, such exposure shall be always equivalent to 100% of its contingent loans.

x)         Provisions for contingencies loans
 
The Bank has recorded in memo accounts, balances related to commitments or responsibilities from business: Endorsements and guarantees, documentary letters of credit, performance bonds, letters of guarantee interbank credit lines freely available, other loan commitments and other contingent claim.
 
The balance of those contingent claims is considered at the end of each financial statement, with the objective to determine the credit risk provision required under Chapter B-1 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards according to the methodology detailed in Note No. 1 u).
 
y)         Income and Deferred taxes
 
The Bank and its affiliates have recognized an expense for income tax at the end of each period, the above according to the current tax regulations (Note 15 of these Financial Statements).
 
The income tax expense for the year is calculated by adding the current tax resulting from the implementation of the relevant tax rate to the taxable year (after applying the tax deductions that are allowable) and the change in assets and liabilities by deferred taxes that are recognized in the accounts of consolidated income.
 
Assets and liabilities by deferred taxes include temporary differences at the amount expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the book value of assets and liabilities and their corresponding tax values as well as negative tax bases clearing and tax credits not applied for tax deductions. These amounts are recorded as temporary differences by applying the appropriate tax rate that is expected to be recovered or settled.
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
The deferred tax effects of temporary differences between the tax and the balance sheet are recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes.”
 
The Bank recognizes, as appropriate, deferred tax liabilities for the estimated future tax effects attributable to differences between the book values of liabilities and their tax values. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities are made based on the tax rate, according to current tax law, as applied in the year deferred tax liabilities are realized or settled. The future effects of changes in tax legislation or in tax rates is recognized in deferred taxes from the date the law approving such changes is published.
 
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has recognized deferred tax assets, so the bank has said that it is possible to get future tax benefits that allow the use of temporary differences on tax losses existing at end of each period.
 
Law No. 20,455, published in “Diario Oficial” on July 31, 2010, established that the rate of income tax class of business will increase from the current rate of 17% to 20% for business year 2011, 18.5% for the business year 2012 and by 17% from the business year 2013 and beyond.
 
On September 27, 2012, was published in the Official Journal of Law No. 20630 which “Perfect Tax and Finance Reform Education Reform”, which aims to achieve greater revenues to fund education, creates a relief economic middle class, encourage growth and improve the current tax system. Among the changes, is the increase in the income tax rate from 17% to 20%, which applies to count from 1 January 2013.4 .
 
z) Provisions and contingent liabilities
 
Provisions are reserves where there is uncertainty about their amount or maturity. These provisions are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position when the following requirements are met:
 
 
Ÿ
It is a real obligation as a result of past events, and
 
 
Ÿ
Up to the date of the financial statements it is likely to CorpBanca or its subsidiaries an outflow of resources to settle the obligation and the amount of these resources can be measured reliably.
 
A contingent liability is any liability, arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed only through one or more uncertain future events occurring not under the control of the entity and/or its subsidiaries
 
Provisions (which are estimated based on the best information available on the consequences of the event giving rise to them and are re-estimated at each balance sheet) are used to meet the specific

obligations for which they were originally recognized to the reverse, in whole or in part when such obligations cease to exist or decrease.
 
Provisions are classified according to the obligations covered, to be effect of these financial statements, the following:
 
Ÿ         Benefits and compensation of personnel
Ÿ         Mandatory Dividends
Ÿ         Contingent Loans Risk
Ÿ         Provisions for contingencies (including country risk, additional allowances and other)
 
aa) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
 
The accounting treatment of financial asset transfers is conditioned by the degree and form in which risks and benefits associated to the assets are transferred to third parties:
 
 
1.
If the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards to third parties, as in the case of unconditional sales of financial assets, sales under repurchase agreements at fair value at the date of repurchase, sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option deeply out of the money, utilization of assets in which the assignor does not retain subordinated debt nor grants any credit enhancement to the new holders, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is removed from the consolidated statements of financial position and any rights or obligations retained or created in the transfer are simultaneously recorded.
 
 
2.
If the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the transferred financial asset, as in the case of sales of financial assets under repurchase agreements to repurchase at a fixed price or at the sale price plus interest, securities lending agreements under which the borrower undertakes to return the same or similar assets, and other similar cases, the transferred financial asset is not removed from the consolidated statements of financial Position and continues to be measured by the same criteria as those used before the transfer. However, the following items are recorded:
 
 
a)
An associated financial liability for an amount equal to the consideration received; this liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost.
 
 
b)
Both the income from the transferred (but not removed) financial asset as well as any expenses incurred on the new financial liability.
 
 
3.
If the Bank neither transfers nor substantially retains all the risks and rewards associated with the transferred financial asset - as in the case of sales of financial assets with a purchased call option or written put option that is not deeply in or out of the money, securitization of assets in which the transferor retains a subordinated debt or other type of credit enhancement for a portion of the transferred asset, and other similar cases - the following distinction is made:
 


 
 

 


 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
 
a)
If the assigning entity does not retain control of the conveyed financial assets: it is written-off the balance sheet and any right or obligation withheld or created as a consequence of such transfer is recognized
 
 
b)
If the assignor entity retains control of the conveyed financial asset: it continues to recognize it in the balance sheet for a value equal to its exposure to value changes that might be experienced and it recognizes a financial liability associated to the conveyed financial asset. The net value of the asset conveyed and the associated liability is the amortized cost of the rights and obligations withheld, (if the conveyed asset is measured according to its amortized cost), or according to the fair value of the rights and obligations thus obtained, (if the conveyed assets are measured at their fair value).
 
In line with the foregoing, financial assets are only written-off the balance sheet when the rights over the cash flows that they generate are extinguished or when their implicit or ensuing risks and benefits have been substantially conveyed to third parties. Similarly financial liabilities are only write off of the balance sheet when the obligations that they generate are extinguished or when they are acquired, with the intention of either to cancel them or to resell them.

bb) Employee Benefits5
 
Vacation expense
 
The annual cost of employee vacations and benefits are recorded on an accrual basis.
 
Short term benefits
 
Regarding the short-term benefits, these correspond to current liabilities as measured by the undiscounted amount that the Bank expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
 
Other long-term benefits
 
Correspond to remuneration (other post-employment benefits, termination benefits and equity compensation benefits) which will be applied within twelve months of the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. The amount recognized as a liability, it is the total net present value of the obligations at the end of the reporting period minus the fair value at the close of the reporting period of plan assets (if any) which the obligations are settled directly.
 
Retirement Plans
 
For defined benefit plans of retirement, the cost of benefits is determined using the method of projected credit units, with actuarial valuations performed at the end of each year. In this connection, actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the present value of the Bank’s obligation to defined benefit and fair value of plan assets at the end of last year are amortized over the expected working life half of the participating employees. The past service costs are recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
 
The benefit obligation of pension plans recognized in the statement of financial position represents the present value of defined benefit obligations adjusted for actuarial gains and losses unrecognized past service cost not recognized, and reduced by the fair value of the plan assets. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to unrecognized actuarial losses and past service cost, plus the present value of available refunds and reductions in future contributions to it.
 
cc) Debt instruments issued
 
Financial instruments issued by Corpbanca and Subsidiaries are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under “debt instruments” through which the Bank has an obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to satisfy the obligation by exchanging fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of equity shares, if applicable.
 
 
_________________________
5Practices related with i) Other Long-term benefits and ii) retirement plans, benefits are only granted by the Colombian subsidiaries, including those via consolidation.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31,2012 and 2011
 
After initial measurement, the obligation is valued at amortized cost using the method of the effective interest rate. Amortized cost is calculated taking into account any discount, premium or cost directly related to the issue.
 
dd) Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets are identified as non-monetary assets (separate from Other assets) without a physical substance that arise as a result of a legal transaction or that are internally developed by the consolidated entities. These are assets whose cost may be reliably estimated and for which the consolidated entities consider it probable to recognize future economic benefits. The cost of intangible assets acquired in business combinations corresponds to their fair value at the acquisition date.
 
Intangible assets are initially recognized at their acquisition or production cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
 
ee) Cash and cash equivalent
 
For the preparation of the cash flow statement, the Bank applied the indirect method, in which, starting with the Bank’s consolidated income before taxes, non-monetary transactions are subsequently incorporated, as well as income and expenses associated with cash flows classified as investing or financing activities.
 
The cash flow statement has been considered as cash and cash equivalent balances “Cash and deposits in banks” plus/minus the net balance of “Items in course of collections”, shown in the State of Financial Position, plus trading portfolio financial asset and held for sale with high liquidity and insignificant risk of changes in value, with a maturity not exceeding three months from the date of purchase and resell agreements that are in this situation. It also includes investments in fixed income and mutual funds, which in the Statement of Financial Position are presented along with Trading portfolio financial instrument. The balances of cash and cash equivalents and its reconciliation with Cash Flow Statement are detailed in Note 5 of these financial statements.
 
The preparation of the cash flow statements takes the following items into account:
 
 
a)
Cash flows: the inflow or outflow of cash and cash equivalent short-term investments of high liquidity and low risk of changes in value, understanding as such the balances in items such as: Central Bank of Chile deposits, Domestic bank deposits, and Foreign bank deposits.
 
 
b)
Operating activities: correspond to normal activities performed by the Bank, as well as other activates that cannot be classified as either investments or financing.
 
 
c)
Investment activities: correspond to the acquisition, sale or disposal by other means, of long-term assets and other investments not included in cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
d)
Financing activities: activities that produce changes in the size and composition of the net Shareholders’ equity and liabilities that are not part of operating activities or investments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
In the period 2012 has incorporated the line “Acquisition of Banco CorpBanca Colombia, S.A. net of cash acquired” which includes net cash outlay for the purchase of companies Corpbanca Colombia S.A. and Corpbanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A. in the amount of MCh$458,292 and MCh$18,066 respectively, as shown in note 12.
 
ff) Use of estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgmentand assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the balances reported for assets and liabilities, the disclosure of asset or liability contingencies as of year-end, as well as income and expense accounts. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
 
The relevant estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly by management in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and uncertainties. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision only affects that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
 
In certain cases, SBIF rules and generally accepted accounting principles require that assets or liabilities be recorded or disclosed at their fair values. The fair value is the amount at which an asset could be bought or sold, or in the case of a liability, could be incurred or settled, in a current transaction between willing parties instead of a forced settlement or sale. Where available, quoted market prices in active markets have been used as the basis for measurement. Where quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Bank has estimated such values based on the best information available, including the use of modeling and other valuation techniques.
 
The Bank has established allowances to cover possible losses in accordance with regulations issued by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions. These regulations require that, to estimate the allowances, they must be regularly evaluated taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in forecasted portfolio quality, credit quality and economic conditions that may adversely affect the borrowers’ ability to pay. Increases in the allowances for loan losses are reflected as “Provisions for loan losses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Loans are written-off when management determines that a loan or a portion that is uncollectible, in accordance with the legal requirements issued by the SVS, this chapter through B-2 “Credits damaged and punished”. Write-offs are recorded as a reduction of the provisions for loan losses.
 
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, are described as concepts used in the following notes:
 
Ÿ     Useful life of tangible and intangible assets (Notes 13, 14, 31).
Ÿ     Goodwill valuation (Notes 12, 13, 31)
Ÿ     Provisions (Nota 20)
Ÿ     Provisions for loan losses (Notes 10, 28)

During the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012 there were no significant changes in the estimates made at the end of 2011, other than those shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
gg) Mandatory dividends
 
The Bank recognizes as a liability (provision), the portion of net income to be distributed in compliance with the Corporations Law (30%) or pursuant to its dividend policy, which states that by 2012 will be distributed as dividends an amount not less than 50% of net income, decision adopted at shareholder meeting in February 2012. By 2012 the bank provisioned 50% of their profits for the year 2011, the Bank recorded a provision for 30% minimum set by the Law. This provision is recorded as a reduction in “Retained earnings” included in “Accrual for mandatory dividends” in the Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.
 
hh) Assets received in lieu of payment
 
Assets received in lieu of payment are measured at the lower of initial carrying amount and net realizable value, i.e., its fair value (independent appraisal) less the necessary maintenance costs and costs to sell. The net realizable value shall be determined in accordance with current market regulations, and should correspond to the fair value less the necessary maintenance costs and costs to sell. Write-offs are required by the regulatory entity SBIF, if the asset is not sold within one year of receipt.
 
That net realizable value of an asset is determined reasonably according to prevailing market conditions, should correspond to fair value less costs to maintain and alienate.
 
ii) Leasing Finance leases
 
Finance leases are leases that substantially transfer all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the lessee. When the Bank acts as the lessor of an asset, the sum of the present value of the lease payments receivable from the lessee plus the guaranteed residual value, which is generally the exercise price of the lessee’s purchase option at the end of the lease term, is recorded as loans to third parties and is therefore included under “Loans and accounts receivable from customers” in the consolidated statements of financial position.
 
When the Bank act as lessees, they show the cost of the leased assets in the consolidated statements of financial Position based on the nature of the leased asset, and simultaneously record a liability for the same amount (which is the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the sum of the present

value of the lease payments payable to the lessor plus, if appropriate, the exercise of the purchase option).
 
These assets are depreciated using similar criteria to those applied to fixed assets for own use (see letter q practice “Property, plant and equipment and leases”“). In both cases, the finance revenues and finance expenses arising from these contracts is credited and debited, respectively, to “Interest income” and “Interest expense” in the consolidated statements of income so as to achieve a constant rate of return over the lease term.
 
Operating leases
 
In operating leases, ownership of the leased asset and substantially all the risks and rewards incidental thereto remain with the lessor. When the consolidated entities act as the lessor, they present the acquisition cost of the leased assets under “Property, plant and equipment and leases”. These assets are depreciated according to the policies adopted for physical assets (see letter q practice “Property, plant and equipment and leases”) and the income from operating leases is recorded on a straight line basis under “Other operating income” in the consolidated statements of income.
 
When the consolidated entities act as the lessees, the lease expenses, including any incentives granted by the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis to “Administrative and other expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.

jj) Non-current assets held-for-sale
 
Non-current assets (or a group which includes assets and liabilities for disposal) expected to be recovered mainly through sales rather than through continued use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately prior to this classification, assets (or elements of a disposable group) are re-measured in accordance with the Bank’s policies. The assets (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of book value and fair value minus cost of sale. Impairment losses on initial classification of assets held for sale and subsequently, gains and losses on revaluation are recognized in earnings. Gains are not recognized if they exceed any cumulative loss.
 
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank has not classified any non-current assets as held for sale.
 
kk) Earnings per share
 
Basic earnings per share are determined by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Bank in a period by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
 
Diluted earnings per share are determined in a similar manner as Basic Earnings per share, but the weighted average number of outstanding shares is adjusted to take into account the potential diluting effect of stock options, warrants, and convertible debt.
 
As of December 31, 2011 and 2012 the Bank did not have instruments that generated diluting effects on shareholders’ equity.
 
ll) Assets under management and investment funds managed by the Bank
 
The assets managed by Corpbanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A. and Corpbanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A. which are owned by third parties are not included in the consolidated statements of financial position. The relevant management fees are included in “Fee and commission income” in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011
 
This information is presented in two statements: the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of changes in equity.
 
Consolidated statement of comprehensive income
 
This represents the income and expenses generated by the Bank as a result of its business activity in the period, separately disclosing income and expenses recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period and the other income and expenses recorded directly in other comprehensive income.
 
Accordingly, this statement presents
 
 
a)
Consolidated Statement of Income for the period.
 
 
b)
The net amount of income and expenses recognized temporarily in equity as adjustments recorded as “valuation accounts”.
 
 
c)
The deferred income tax arising from the information mentioned before except for adjustments of exchange differences and derivatives coverage for overseas investment.
 
 
d)
Total of the consolidated income and expense recognized, calculated as of the sum of the preceding letters, showing separately the amount attributed to the Bank and for non-controlling interest.
 
Statement of changes in Shareholders’ equity
 
The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity presents all the changes occurring in net equity, including those arising from accounting changes and correction of errors. Accordingly, this statement provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the period for all items in consolidated net equity, grouping the changes into the following items based on their nature:
 
 
a)
Adjustments for changes in accounting criteria and the correction of errors: includes the changes in consolidated net equity arising as a consequence of the retroactive restatement of the financial statement balances as a consequence of changes in the accounting criteria or in the correction of errors.
 
 
b)
Revenues and expenses recorded in the period: reflects, in aggregate form, all the items recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income indicated above.

Between January 1st and date of issuance of these financial statements, no accounting pronouncements issued by the SBIF.

Amendments to Standards
Effective date
IAS 12, Income Taxes — Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets
Annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.
IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures Disclosures - Transfers of financial assets
Annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.

 
Amendments to IAS 12, Income Taxes
 
On December 20, 2010, the IASB published Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets ­Amendments to IAS 12. The amendments provide an exception to the general principle in IAS 12 Income Taxes that the measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities should reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of an asset.
 
Specifically, the amendments provide an exception to the principle when deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities arise from investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 Investment Property and for investment property acquired in a business combination if it is subsequently measured using the fair value model in IAS 40. For the purposes of measuring deferred tax, the amendments introduce a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of such an asset will be recovered entirely through sale. The presumption can be rebutted if the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits over time, rather than through sale. The amendments to IAS 12 should be applied retrospectively requiring a retrospective restatement of all deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities within the scope of the amendment, including those that were initially recognized in a business combination. The effective date of the amendments is for annual

periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. Earlier application is permitted. Bank management said the new rule was adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2012, estimating that these changes have had an impact on the accounting policies for the period.
 
Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure
 
On October 7, 2010, the IASB issued Disclosures — Transfers of Financial Assets (Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure) that increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures of transactions where a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure (referred to as ‘continuing involvement’) in the asset. The amendments also require disclosure where transfers of financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period (e.g., where transfers occur near the end of a reporting period). The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Disclosures are not required for comparative periods before the date of initial application of the amendments.
 
Bank Management estimated that this new standard will be adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2012. It is estimated that these changes have had an impact on the accounting policies for the period.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments
 
On November 12, 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. This Standard introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and is effective from 1 January 2013 with early adoption permitted. IFRS 9 specifies how an entity shall classify and measure its financial assets. This Standard requires that all financial assets be classified on the basis of an entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Financial assets are either measured at amortized cost or at fair value. Only those financial assets measured at amortized cost are tested for impairment. Additionally, on 28 October 2010, the IASB published a revised version of IFRS 9. The revised standard retains the requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets that were published in November 2009 but adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. As part of its restructuring of IFRS 9, the IASB also copied the guidance on derecognition of financial instruments and related implementation guidance from IAS 39 to IFRS 9. This new guidance concludes the first part of Phase 1 of the Board’s project to replace IAS 39. The other phases, impairment and hedge accounting, are not yet completed.
 
The guidance included in IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities is unchanged from the classification criteria for financial liabilities currently contained in IAS 39. In other words, fmancial liabilities will continue to be measured either wholly, or in part, at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The concept of bifurcating embedded derivatives from a financial liability host contract also remains unchanged. Financial liabilities held for trading would continue to be measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities would be measured at amortized cost unless the fair value option is applied, using the existing criteria in IAS 39.
 
However, there are two differences compared to IAS 39:

The presentation of the effects of changes in fair value attributable to a liability’s credit risk; and

On December 16, 2011, the IASB issued Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures, deferring the mandatory effective date of both the 2009 and 2010 versions to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015. Prior to the amendments, application of IFRS 9 was mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The amendments modify the requirements for transition from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to IFRS 9. In addition, the amendments also modify IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to add certain requirements in the reporting period containing the date of initial application of IFRS 9.
 
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, allowing early application. The Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions instructed beforehand not to apply this Standard but adopt following their mandatory application date. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of these amendments.
 
IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements
 
On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, which is a replacement of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC — 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities. The objective of IFRS 10 is to have a single basis for consolidation for all entities, regardless of the nature of the investee, and that basis is control. The definition of control includes three elements: power over an investee, exposure or rights to variable returns of the investee and the ability to use power over the investee to affect the investor’s returns. NIIF 10 provides detailed guidance on how to apply the control principle in a number of situations, including agency relationships and holdings of potential voting rights. An investor would reassess whether it controls an investee if there is a change in facts and circumstances. IFRS 10 replaces those parts of IAS 27 that address when and how an investor should prepare consolidated financial statements and replaces SIC — 12 in its entirety. The effective date of NIIF 10 is January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted under certain circumstances.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements
 
On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements which supersedes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC — 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 classified joint arrangements as either joint operations (combining the existing concepts of jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations) or joint ventures (equivalent to the existing concept of a jointly controlled entity). A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. NIIF 11 requires the use of the equity method of accounting for interests in joint ventures thereby eliminating the proportionate consolidation

method. The effective date of IFRS 11 is January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted under certain circumstances.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
 
On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities which requires extensive disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. IFRS 12 establishes disclosure objectives and specifies minimum disclosures that an entity must provide to meet those objectives. An entity should disclose information that helps users of its financial statements evaluate the nature and risks associated with interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its financial statements. The disclosure requirements are extensive and significant effort may be required to accumulate the necessary information. The effective date of IFRS 12 is January 1, 2013 but entities are permitted to incorporate any of the new disclosures into their financial statements before that date.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
IAS 27 (2011), Separate Financial Statements
 
IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements have been amended for the issuance of IFRS 10 but retain the current guidance for separate financial statements.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
IAS 28 (2011), Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures
 
IAS 28 Investments in Associates has been amended for conforming changes based on the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement
 
On May 12, 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurement under IFRS. The Standard applies to both financial and non-financial items measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date” (i.e., an exit price). IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with early adoption permitted, and applies prospectively from

the beginning of the annual period in which the Standard is adopted, Bank current situation as determined by the Administration.
 
Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
 
On June 16, 2011, the IASB issued Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (amendments to IAS 1). The amendments retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Items of other comprehensive income are required to be grouped into those that will and will not subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss. Tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis. The measurement and recognition of items of profit or loss and other comprehensive income are not affected by the amendments, which are applicable for reporting periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012 with earlier application permitted.
 
The Bank’s management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the consolidated financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013. Management believes that considering the characteristics of this amendment will not have an impact on the measurement and recognition of the components of profit or loss and other comprehensive income on the date of initial application of these amendments.
 
Amendment to IAS 19, Employee Benefits
 
On June 16, 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits that change the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The amendments require the recognition of changes in the defined benefit obligation and in plan assets when those changes occur, eliminating the corridor approach and accelerating the recognition of past service costs. Changes in the defined benefit obligation and plan assets are disaggregated into three components: service costs, net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and remeasurements of the net defined benefit liabilities (assets). Net interest is calculated using high quality corporate bond yield. This may be lower than the rate used to calculate the expected return on plan assets, resulting in a decrease in net income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. Retrospective application is required with certain exceptions.
 
Management believes that this new standard will be adopted in the Group’s financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
Amendment to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation
 
In December 2011, the IASB amended the accounting requirements and disclosures related to offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities by issuing amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. These amendments are the result of the IASB and US Financial Accounting Standards Board CFASB’ undertaking a joint project to address the differences in their respective accounting standards regarding offsetting of financial instruments. The new disclosures are required for annual and interim periods beginning on

or after January 1, 2013 and the clarifying amendments to IAS 32 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. Both require retrospective application for comparative periods.
 
Management believes that these amendments will be adopted in its financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
 
Amendment to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures
 
NIIF 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures was amended to require information about all recognized financial instruments that are set off in accordance with paragraph 42 of IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The amendments also require disclosure of information about recognized financial instruments subject to enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements even if they are not set off under IAS 32. The IASB believes that these disclosures will allow financial statement users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with an entity’s recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Early application is permitted.
 
Management believes that these amendments will be adopted in its financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.
 
Amendments to IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements; IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12, Disclosure of Involvement in Other Entities — Transition Guidance
 
On June 28, 2012, the IASB published Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, 11-RS 11, and IFRS 12). The amendments are intended to provide additional transition relief in IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Also, amendments to IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 eliminate the requirement to provide comparative information for periods prior to the immediately preceding period. The effective date of these amendments is for periods. The effective date of these amendments, annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, is aligned with the effective dates of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12.
 
Management believes that these amendments will be adopted in its financial statements for the period beginning on January 1, 2013.

Cash flow hedges
 
The cash flow hedges are used by the Bank to:
 
a)
Reduce the volatility of cash flows in balance sheet items indexed to inflation through the use of forward contracts and combinations inflation swaps in pesos and indexed.
 
b)
Fixed the rate of a portion of the pool of short-term liabilities by weight, reducing the risk of a significant portion of the Bank’s funding costs, while maintaining the liquidity risk in the pool of liabilities. This is achieved by matching the cash flows of hedged items and derivatives, uncertain flows by modifying known flows.
 
Below is a detailed account of hedged items and hedging instruments by maturity as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.
