GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General Information – CorpBanca and its Subsidiaries

CorpBanca is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Chile and regulated by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF). The Bank’s objective is to execute and enter into all acts, contracts, transactions or businesses permitted by the General Banking Law, notwithstanding its ability to broaden or restrict its sphere of action, without modifying its by-laws, based on legal provisions issued in the future. Its customer base ranges from individuals to large corporations.

Since 2004, CorpBanca has been regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) because it is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) through an American Depository Receipt (“ADR”) program.

Its legal domicile is Huérfanos 1072, Santiago, Chile and its website is www.corpbanca.cl.


i)
Our History

CorpBanca is the oldest private bank currently operating in Chile. It was founded as Banco de Concepción in 1871 by a group of neighbors in Concepción led by Mr. Aníbal Pinto, who would later become President of Chile. In 1971, control of the Bank was transferred to the Chilean Development Corporation (Corporación de Fomento de la Producción or CORFO). That same year, it acquired Banco Francés and Banco Italiano in Chile, which enabled it to expand to Santiago. Between 1972 and 1975, the Bank acquired Banco de Chillán and Banco de Valdivia. In November 1975, CORFO sold its shares of the Bank to private investors, who took control of the Bank in 1976. In 1980, its name changed to Banco Concepción.

In 1983, Banco Concepción came under the control of the Chilean Superintendency of Banks, until 1986 when it was acquired by the National Mining Society (Sociedad Nacional de Minería or SONAMI). At this point, the Bank took a special interest in financing small and medium-sized mining interests, increasing its capital and selling part of its high-risk portfolio to the Chilean Central Bank.

In 1996, a group of investors led by Mr. Álvaro Saieh Bendeck acquired a majority interest in Banco Concepción. Following this change of ownership, the new controller took significant measures to improve risk management, enhance operating efficiency and expand operations. These measures included strict provisioning, cost reductions, technological enhancements and increases in productivity. As part of these efforts, the Bank changed its name to “CorpBanca” and assembled a team of directors and executives with broad experience in the Chilean financial services industry.

Since 1998, the Bank has considerably expanded its operations both through organic growth and by acquiring the consumer loan divisions of Corfinsa de Banco Sud Americano (presently Scotiabank Chile) and Financiera Condell S.A. In this context, it also began international expansion efforts in 2009

by opening a branch in New York, followed by a representation office in Madrid in 2011. It then acquired the Colombian banking subsidiary of Banco Santander España during the first half of 2012, which is now called Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A.
 
 
In line with its growth and international expansion strategies, CorpBanca Colombia signed an agreement to acquire up to 100% of the shares of Helm Bank S.A. and all of its controlled subsidiaries. To date, it has acquired 99.78% of the total shares and controls that bank and its subsidiaries. This transaction also involved the direct acquisition by CorpBanca (Chile) of an 80% interest in Helm Corredor de Seguros S.A., which operates in Colombia. After closing this deal, Helm Bank and Banco CorpBanca will merge to operate as one bank.

ii)
CorpBanca Today

 CorpBanca—controlled by the Saieh Group with a 51.4054% ownership interest—is a commercial bank headquartered in Chile that also has operations in Colombia and Panama. It also has a branch in New York and a representation office in Madrid. As of March 31, 2014, it has total consolidated assets of MCh$19,211,956 (MUS$34,891) and capital of MCh$1,766,172 (MUS$3,208). It offers universal banking products targeted towards both retail customers and large and medium-sized companies. The banking business is complemented by subsidiaries engaged in securities and insurance brokerage, trust services, asset management and financial advisory services. Its outstanding performance over the last 15 years has made it today Chile’s fourth largest private bank (as of February 2014 it had market share in Chile of 7.2%). For the twelve-month period ended February 2014, the Bank reported return on average equity (RoAE) of 13.4%—affected by an increase of over US$1,300 million in its capital base in the period from June 2012 to January 2013—and a Basel Index of 12.7%. This solvency enabled it to acquire Banco Santander Colombia (currently Banco CorpBanca Colombia) in mid-2012 in a transaction that also involved the Santo Domingo Group, one of the most important economic groups in the Americas. In early August 2013, CorpBanca also acquired the operations of Helm Bank in Colombia, Panama and the Cayman Islands. As part of its regional expansion process, on January 29, 2014, CorpBanca and CorpGroup signed an agreement with Itaú-Unibanco and Itaú Chile in which the banks agreed to merge operations in Chile and Colombia. The merger of CorpBanca-Itaú Chile is subject to regulatory approval in Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Panama and the United States. The merged bank will be the fourth largest private bank in Chile with US$46 billion in consolidated assets, US$35 billion in loans and US$28.8 billion in deposits. With this greater scale, the new bank will be able to take advantage of diverse cross-selling opportunities and access funds at a lower cost. The new bank’s capital will be fortified with a capital increase of US$652 million that Itaú Unibanco will inject into Itaú Chile before the merger.

iii)

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

The opening of a broker-dealer in the United States will provide the Bank’s customers with the possibility to operate in a foreign market with more developed financial systems, enabling direct, higher quality monitoring of investments that are presently conducted through other international broker-dealers.

In the United States, a broker-dealer is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and must belong to a self-regulatory organization (“SRO”).  Most broker-dealers are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). Broker-dealers that carry out securities transactions only on domestic securities markets can opt to be members of FINRA, which has jurisdiction only over the firms that are members and their associated persons.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)
Accounting Periods Covered

These consolidated financial statements cover the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013.

b)
Basis of Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Compendium of Accounting Standards issued by the SBIF. The SBIF is the regulator that, in accordance with Article No. 15 of the General Banking Law, establishes that banks must use the accounting principles mandated by it and any matter not addressed therein, as long as it does not contradict its instructions, should adhere to international accounting standards and international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as agreed upon by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Should any discrepancies arise between these accounting principles and the accounting criteria issued by the SBIF (Compendium of Accounting Standards), the latter shall take precedence.

The notes to the consolidated financial statements contain information in addition to that presented in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the Period, the Consolidated Statements of Other Comprehensive Income for the Period, the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These notes provide clear, relevant, reliable and comparable narrative descriptions and details on these statements.

In accordance with Chapter C-2 Interim Statements of Financial Position of the SBIF Compendium of Accounting Standards, the notes contained in these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34–Interim Financial Reporting.

IAS 34 establishes that interim financial reporting is prepared mainly with the intent to update the contents of the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, placing emphasis on the new activities, events and circumstances that have occurred during the three-month period following the most recent period-end and not duplicating the information published previously in the most recent consolidated financial statements.

As a result, these financial statements do not include all of the information required in the complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with international accounting and financial reporting standards issued by the IASB. Therefore, for a proper understanding of the information included in these financial statements, they should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements of CorpBanca and subsidiaries for the immediately preceding period.

c)
Consolidation Criteria

These consolidated financial statements include the preparation of the separate (individual) financial statements of the Bank and the diverse companies (New York Branch and Controlled Entities and Subsidiaries) that participate in the consolidation as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31,

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

2013, and include any adjustments and reclassifications necessary to standardize the accounting policies and valuation criteria applied by the Bank in accordance with the standards stipulated by the SBIF Compendium of Accounting Standards.

Intercompany balances and any unrealized income or expenses that arise from group intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

For consolidation purposes, the financial statements of the New York Branch have been converted to Chilean pesos at the exchange rate of Ch$550.62 per US$1 as of March 31, 2014 (Ch$471.89 per US$1 as of March 31, 2013, and Ch$526.41 per US$1 as of December 31, 2013). The Colombian subsidiaries have used the exchange rate of Ch$0.2798 per COP$1 as of March 31, 2014, (Ch$0.2584 per COP$1 as of March 31, 2013 and Ch$0.2736 per COP$1 as of December 31, 2013) in accordance with International Accounting Standard 21, regarding the valuation of foreign investments in economically stable countries.

The assets, liabilities, operating income and expenses of subsidiaries net of consolidation adjustments represent 38.13%, 40.16%, 51.84% and 48.55% respectively, of the total assets, liabilities, income and expenses of consolidated operations1 as of March 31, 2014 (20.25%, 21.96%, 51.83% and 70.96% in 2013, respectively). Unrealized income and expenses from transactions with equity method investments are eliminated from the investment based on the entity’s equity interest (as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013, the Bank did not record any such transactions).

Controlled Entities

Regardless of the nature of its involvement in an entity (the investee), CorpBanca will determine whether it is a controller by assessing its control over the investee.

CorpBanca controls an investee when it has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from the investor’s involvement with the investee and has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

Therefore, the Company controls an investee if and only if it has all of the following elements:

a)
Power over the investee, i.e. existing rights that give it the ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee (the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns);

b)
Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee;

c)
The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

When the Bank has less than the majority of voting rights in an investee, but these voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to unilaterally direct the investee’s relevant activities, the Bank is




 
17

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

determined to have control. The Bank considers all relevant factors and circumstances in evaluating whether voting rights are sufficient to obtain control, including:

• the size of the Bank’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of other vote holders;

• potential voting rights held by the investor, other vote holders or other parties;

• rights from other contractual agreements;

• any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the investor has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities when decisions need to be made, including voting behavior patterns in prior shareholder meetings.

The Bank reevaluates whether or not it has control in an investee if the facts and circumstances indicate that there have been changes in one or more of the elements of control listed above.

The financial statements of controlled companies are consolidated with those of the Bank using the global integration method (line by line). Using this method, all balances and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated upon consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows from the controller and its subsidiaries presented as if they were one sole economic entity. A controller prepares consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events under equivalent circumstances.

It also presents non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent company. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are equity transactions (i.e. transactions with the owners in their role as such).

An entity shall attribute profit for the period and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent company and the non-controlling interests.

The entity shall also attribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the parent company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

The following table details the entities over which CorpBanca has the ability to exercise control and, therefore, the entities that it consolidates:
 

 
Associates and Banking Support Companies

Associates are entities over which the Bank has the capacity to exercise significant influence, but not control or joint control. Usually, this capacity manifests itself through an ownership interest equal to or greater than 20% of the entity’s voting rights and is valued using the equity method.

Other factors considered in determining whether there is significant influence over an entity include representation on the board of directors and the existence of material transactions.

The Bank analyzed the equity method and decided not to use this method for banking support companies, based on the degree of significant influence exercised over these companies and not its ownership percentage.

Asset Management, Trust Business and Other Related Businesses.

CorpBanca and its subsidiaries manage assets maintained in common investment funds and other investment products on behalf of investors. The financial statements of these entities are not included in these consolidated financial statements except when the Bank controls the entity. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank does not control or consolidate any trust businesses or other entities related to this type of business. The assets managed by CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A., CorpBanca Investment Trust Colombia S.A. and Helm Fiduciaria that are owned by third parties are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

d)
Use of Estimates and Judgment

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company’s management has made certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported balances of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of period-end, and

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

reported values of income and expenses during the period.  Real results could differ from these estimated amounts.

Relevant estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly by management in order to quantify certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and uncertainties. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future period that is affected.

In certain cases, SBIF Standards and generally accepted accounting principles require assets and liabilities to be recorded and/or disclosed at fair value.  Fair value is the amount at which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. When market prices in active markets are available, they have been used as a valuation basis. When market prices in active markets are not available, the Bank estimates these values based on the best information available, including the use of models or other valuation techniques.

The Bank has established provisions to cover possible loan losses in accordance with SBIF regulations.  In estimating provisions, these regulations require provisions to be regularly assessed, taking into consideration factors such as changes in the nature and size of the loan portfolio, forecasted portfolio trends, loan quality and economic conditions that may affect debtor payment capacity.  Changes in loan loss allowances are presented as “Credit Risk Provisions” in the Consolidated Statement of Income.  Loans are charged off when management determines that the loan or a portion of the loan cannot be collected in accordance with SBIF regulations in Chapter B-2 “Impaired or Charged-Off Loans”. Credit risk provisions are reduced to record charge-offs.
 
In particular, information regarding more significant areas of estimates of uncertainties and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described in the following notes:

·
Useful life of material and intangible assets (Notes 12, 13 and 28)
·
Valuation of goodwill (Notes 12 and 28)
·
Credit risk provisions (Notes 9 and 25)
·
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities (Notes 6, 7 and 10)
·
Contingencies and commitments (Note 19)
·
Impairment losses for certain assets (Notes 8.9, 10 and 28)
·
Consolidation perimeter and evaluation of control (Note 1, letter c))

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, there have been no significant changes in the estimates made as of period-end 2013 that differ from those included in these consolidated financial statements.

e)
Relative Importance

In determining disclosures about different financial statement items and other matters, in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, the Bank has considered the relative importance of these items with respect to the financial statements for the period.

Possible Business Combination

On January 20, 2014, as a result of an inquiry from the Colombian financial regulator regarding our subsidiary in that country, the Bank updated and informed the Chilean superintendencies of the process being carried out by CorpBanca to potentially merge its business with other banking entities, indicating the following:

Through a ruling from the Colombian Financial Superintendency, the regulator requested that CorpBanca inform it of “the progress by its controller regarding any information that should be made public regarding merger alternatives for its businesses in Chile and abroad.”

(“Itaú-Unibanco”) and Banco Itaú Chile, by virtue of which these parties have agreed to a strategic partnership of their operations in Chile and Colombia, subject to prior authorization from the corresponding regulators and the shareholders of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile, as indicated below.

This strategic partnership will be structured as a merger of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile in conformity with the aforementioned Transaction Agreement, detailed as follows:
 
 
 
1.
Prior Acts. CorpGroup will dispose of the shares it directly or indirectly holds in CorpBanca, equivalent to 1.53% of the share capital of that bank and Banco Itaú Chile will increase its capital by US$652 million, by issuing shares that will be fully subscribed and paid by a fully-owned (direct or indirect) subsidiary of Itaú-Unibanco.

 
2.
Merger. The merger of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile, by which CorpBanca will absorb Banco Itaú Chile to form an entity called “Itaú-CorpBanca”, will be submitted for approval from the shareholders of both entities at extraordinary shareholders’ meetings.  If the merger is approved, 172,048,565,857 shares of CorpBanca will be issued, representing 33.58% of the share capital of the merged bank, which will be distributed among the shareholders of Banco Itaú Chile. The current shareholders of CorpBanca will maintain 66.42% of the share capital of the merged bank. Thus, the number of shares will increase from 340,358,194,234 to 512,406,760,091 shares, which will be fully subscribed and paid.

 
3.
Control. As a result of the merger, Itaú-Unibanco will become a shareholder of CorpBanca and, as a result of the exchange of shares for this merger, will acquire control of the merged bank in accordance with Articles 97 and 99 of Law 18,045 on Securities Markets, with CorpGroup conserving a considerable interest of 32.92% in the merged entity, while 33.5% will be held by the market.

This portion includes 12.38% currently owned indirectly by CorpGroup, which has committed to selling those shares. The price per share to be offered by Itaú-CorpBanca will be equal for all shareholders and be based on the valuation of Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. for the share exchange for the merger. The price for the 33.61% interest in Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A., in the event it is sold, will be US$894 million.  For the same purpose, Itaú-CorpBanca will acquire Itaú BBA Colombia S.A., Corporación Financiera, the entity through which Itaú-Unibanco does business in that country.

Course of Business.

The parties expect to close the transaction in Chile during 2014.

 
6.
Shareholder Agreement.

The chairman will be proposed by CorpGroup and the CEO by Itaú-Unibanco. The majority of directors serving on committees will be proposed by Itaú-Unibanco, based on its shareholding.

 
§
Likewise, subject to current regulations, CorpGroup undertakes to exercise its political rights in alignment with Itaú-Unibanco. CorpGroup will grant in favor of Itaú-Unibanco a pledge over 16% of the merged bank’s assets to guarantee the obligations undertaken in the shareholder agreement, with CorpGroup maintaining the right to exercise its political and economic rights that emanate from the pledged shares.

 
§
It will reflect the intention of the parties in the sense that the merged bank distribute all available profits for each year after ensuring certain capital adequacy levels so that Itaú-CorpBanca complies fully with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

 
§
It will also impose certain non-complete obligations on CorpGroup and Itaú-Unibanco with respect to the merged bank.

 
§
Lastly, regarding the share transfer, it will establish a right of first offer, a right to join third-party sales and the obligation to join third-party sales. It will also establish in favor of CorpGroup a sale and purchase right over 6.6% of the shares of the merged bank as a short-term liquidity mechanism, and a sale right as an alternative for disposing of its interest in the merged bank. In both cases, the price will be market price with no premium. Priority will first be given to sales through the Santiago Stock Exchange.

The close of the transaction contemplated in the Transaction Agreement is subject to obtaining the relevant regulatory authorizations as well as approval from shareholders of CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile in the respective extraordinary shareholders’ meetings that will be called to approve the merger.

1.
That on December 2, 2013, the Colombian Financial Superintendency gave early notice on the merger to be executed by these banks, by which Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A. absorbed Helm Bank S.A., which would in turn be dissolved without being liquidated, so that its assets, rights and obligations could be acquired by CorpBanca Colombia. This notice was subscribed by legal representatives from both entities through a power of attorney.


2.
Reasons for the Merger. On August 6, 2013, for purposes of this merger, CorpBanca Colombia acquired 2,387,387,295 common shares of Helm Bank, which represent 58.89% of the outstanding common shares of that entity, and subsequently on August 29, 2013, it acquired 1,656,579,084 shares of the same type for a total of 4,043,966,379 shares, equivalent to 99.75% of these instruments and 87.42% of the total subscribed and paid capital of Helm Bank; likewise, on January 23, 2014, once the takeover bid acceptance period had concluded, the BVC awarded CorpBanca Colombia 568,206,073 preferential shares of Helm Bank, which represent 99.38% of these shares and 12.28% of the total subscribed and paid capital of Helm Bank, acquisitions that were carried out for the purposes of the merger and were previously authorized by the SFC in July 2013, giving it a 99.7814% interest.

3.
Administrative and Financial Conditions. As these banks are both lending institutions, unifying their structures will create a more sound entity, taking advantage of synergies that will maximize operating and administrative efficiency without neglecting customer service. Once the merger of CorpBanca Colombia has been completed, it will continue to comply with capital, solvency and equity regulations, as well as risk management practices in accordance with legal provisions.

4.
Valuation Method and Exchange Ratio. Both banks agreed to hire Nogal Asesorías Financieras S.A.S to perform an independent technical study of CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank in order to determine their value and the exchange ratio of the shares. Nogal was certified as independent and competent by the SFC in communication number 2013106073-009-000 on December 27, 2013.


The financial statements of CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank as of June 30, 2013, duly audited by Deloitte and Ernst & Young and approved by shareholders at the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting on April 4, 2014, will serve as the basis for establishing the merger conditions. The discounted dividend method (DDM) was used to determine the value of the banks. This robust, efficient and reliable technical methodology is widely accepted locally and internationally for valuing financial entities. In conformity with the appendix containing the Nogal technical study, the exchange ratio is determined
as follows (information in COP$):
 
 

Once merged, based on the valuation of the shares of CorpBanca Colombia, for every 10.876 common shares and/or preferential dividend and non-voting shares of Helm Bank, its shareholders will receive one (1) share of CorpBanca Colombia. For this, CorpBanca Colombia will issue 1,239,863 common shares to fulfill the aforementioned exchange ratio at a value of $6,125.683 per share.

5. Additional Information. The common shares that CorpBanca Colombia must issue in favor of the shareholders of Helm Bank must be issued in accordance with article 60-5 of the EOSF in order to comply with the aforementioned exchange ratio. This issuance will take place once the merger has been formalized and registered without needing issuance or takeover bid regulations or authorization from the SFC. The fractions of shares that result from the exchange ratio may be negotiated or paid in cash by CorpBanca Colombia with a charge to the capital account, in accordance with article 60-5-2 of the EOSF beginning on the business day following the recording in public deed of the merger.

6. Withdrawal Right. The shareholders may exercise their withdrawal right in conformity with article 62-4 of the EOSF.

c)
Impairment

At each reporting date, Banco CorpBanca will evaluate whether there is any indication of impairment of any asset. Should any such indication exist, or when impairment testing is required, the entity will estimate the asset’s recoverable amount.

The entity will conduct impairment testing on an annual basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as well as intangible assets that are not yet available for use, by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount. Impairment testing can be carried out at any time during the year, as long as it takes place at the same time each year. Impairment testing of different intangible assets can take place on different dates. However, if that intangible asset had been recognized initially during the current year, it will be tested for impairment before the year ends.

Impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized; goodwill acquired in a business

Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, annual impairment testing is permitted for a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated, or at any time for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as long as they are carried out at the same time each year. Different cash generating units and different intangible assets can be tested for impairment at different times during the year.

CorpBanca and subsidiaries conducted impairment testing for unamortized assets, including intangible assets that are still not in use, and concluded that no impairment exists.

Pending Litigation

b.1) CorpBanca

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, there are lawsuits pending against the Bank related to loans and other matters, most of which, according to the Bank’s Legal Services Division, present no risk of significant loss. Nevertheless, as of March 31, 2014, it has recorded provisions of MCh$257 (MCh$133 as of March 31, 2013).

b.2) CorpBanca Corredores de Bolsa S.A.

As of March 31, 2014, the following legal situations are in process:

·
As of March 31, 2014, the company has conducted out-of-court collections procedures that did not result as expected. Consequently, it initiated court collections proceedings that, according to the Legal Services Division, could result in a loss for the Bank in the event that the amounts owed by customers are not recovered. As a result, the company has fully provisioned the amount of MCh$205 in its financial statements.

·
Before the 5th Criminal Court of Santiago, in fraud case No. 149913-7, as part of a criminal suit filed by Banco del Estado de Chile, to which CorpBanca Corredores de Bolsa S.A. is not party, the court seized (in the Company’s opinion, improperly) Time Deposit No. 00243145 for MCh$43 (historical pesos) that Concepción S.A. Corredores de Bolsa, now CorpBanca Corredores de Bolsa S.A., had acquired from its initial beneficiary, because it was considered corpus delicti. This time deposit is fully provisioned in the Company’s financial statements and is presented net of the provision in notes and accounts receivable.

b.3) CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos

On April 15, 2013, the Company was notified of a lawsuit brought by José Hernán Romero Salinas against CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A. filed with the 12th Civil Court of Santiago, Case No. C-17811-2012, seeking compensation for damages due to an alleged breach of contractual liability. Compensation sought amounts to MCh$138. On March 6, 2014, the court ruled that the proceedings had been abandoned. This ruling became final on March 21, 2014. Therefore, this case is currently closed.

On September 26, 2013, the Company was notified of a lawsuit brought by José Hernán Romero Salinas against CorpBanca Administradora General de Fondos S.A. filed with the 9th Civil Court of Santiago, Case No. C-9302-2013, seeking annulment of contracts due to an alleged error in the type of investment made, return of funds invested totaling Ch$512,792,497 and compensation for damages of MCh$150. The case is currently in the evidence stage.

b.4) Banco CorpBanca Colombia S.A.

The Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in civil, labor and administrative proceedings. The 86 civil and administrative proceedings existing, which total MCOP$ 22,297, include processes for alleged banking responsibility (plenary suits) and class action or group lawsuits. Of these proceedings, the probability of loss is remote in 60 cases, possible in 16 cases and likely in 10 cases. Provisions for those proceedings classified as likely in accordance with IAS 37 total MCOP$ 597.

The proceedings classified as likely include one class action suit that affects the entire financial sector. In 2010, no court proceedings, adverse rulings or complaints were filed that, given their amount, might materially affect the Bank’s capital. The common legal proceedings or processes that affect most of the financial sector will not necessarily be ruled on in 2014, but perhaps in subsequent years. Particularly because of the portfolio sales by Banco CorpBanca Colombia (formerly Banco Santander), which make its particular situation different from other banks that are party to the lawsuit, it is difficult to quantify the status of these proceedings and impossible to determine the financial implications.

There are 121 labor proceedings seeking a total of MCOP$ 19,097, for which MCOP$ 1,102 has been provisioned, equivalent to 58%. Of these, the probability of loss is remote in 42 cases, possible in 5 and likely in 74 cases.


b.5)  Helm Bank S.A.

Helm Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in civil and administrative proceedings. Of the 74 civil and administrative proceedings, 32 are related to banking operations and 46 to ownership of leased assets. Compensation sought amounts to approximately MCh$13,224. Of these proceedings, the probability of loss is remote in 68 cases, possible in 5 cases and likely in 1 case. Provisions for those proceedings classified as likely in accordance with IAS 37 total MCOP$ 3,978.

The proceedings classified as likely include one class action suit that affects the entire financial sector. During the first quarter of 2014, no court proceedings, adverse rulings or complaints were filed that, given their amount, might materially affect the Bank’s capital. The common legal proceedings or processes that affect most of the financial sector will not necessarily be ruled on in 2014, but perhaps in subsequent years.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

A)
Financial Assets

As of each reporting date, CorpBanca and its subsidiaries assess whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets may be impaired. Financial assets or asset groups are considered impaired only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or asset group that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include, among other examples, debtors or a group of debtors with significant financial difficulties, non-compliance or delinquency in principal or interest payments, the potential to declare bankruptcy or undergo another form of financial reorganization, or observable data that indicate a measureable reduction in estimated future cash flows, such as adverse changes in the status of past due payments or in the economic conditions related to such non-compliance.

CorpBanca and subsidiaries performed impairment tests on these assets, concluding that there is no indication of impairment as of the date of these financial statements.

B) Non-financial Assets

The carrying amounts of non-financial assets, excluding investment property and deferred taxes, are reviewed regularly, or at least every reporting period, to determine whether indications of impairment exist. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is then estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of the fair value less costs to sell, whether for an asset or a cash generating unit, and its value in use. That recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent from the cash flows of other assets or asset groups.

The entity will conduct impairment testing on an annual basis for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as well as intangible assets that are not yet available for use, by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount. Impairment testing can be carried out at any time during the year, as long as it takes place at the same time each year. Impairment testing of different intangible assets can take place on different dates. However, if that intangible asset had been recognized initially during the current year, it will be tested for impairment before the year ends.

Impairment of goodwill is determined by evaluating the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit (or group) to which goodwill is allocated. Where the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized; goodwill acquired in a business combination shall be distributed as of the acquisition date among the CGUs or group of CGUs of the acquirer that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination, regardless of whether other of the acquiree’s assets or liabilities are allocated to these units. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, annual impairment testing is permitted for a CGU to which goodwill has been allocated, or at any time for intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, as

 
96

 



CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

long as they are carried out at the same time each year. Different cash generating units and different intangible assets can be tested for impairment at different times during the year.

Upon evaluating whether any indication of impairment exists for an asset, the entity shall consider at least the following factors:

External sources of information:

(a) during the period, an asset’s market value has declined significantly more than would be expected as a result of the passage of time or normal use.
(b) adverse conditions in the technological, market, economic or legal environment.
(c) increase in interest rates.
(d) market value of equity lower than carrying amount.

Internal sources of information:

(a) evidence of obsolescence of physical damage of an asset.
(b) Plans to discontinue or restructure the operation to which an asset belongs, plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date, and reassessing the useful life of an asset as finite rather than indefinite.
(c) decrease or expected decrease in an asset’s performance.

In the event of objective impairment, the carrying amount of an asset will be reduced until the recoverable amount if, and only if, the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. This reduction is an impairment loss.

Impairment losses are recognized immediately in the Statement of Income unless the asset is accounted for at revalued value in accordance with other standard. Any impairment loss in revalued assets is treated as a decrease in the revaluation made in accordance with that standard. When the estimated amount of an impairment loss is greater than the carrying amount of the asset to which it is related, the entity will recognize a liability if, and only if, it were obligated to do so by another standard. After recognizing an impairment loss, charges for depreciating the asset are adjusted for future periods in order to distribute the asset’s revised carrying amount, less its potential residual value, systematically over the remaining useful life.

If an impairment loss is recognized, the deferred tax assets and liabilities related to it will also be determined by comparing the asset’s revised carrying amount to its tax basis in accordance with IAS 12.

Article 147 of the Corporations Law sets forth that a publicly held corporation may only carry out transactions with related parties when they are intended to contribute to the corporate interest and are adjusted in price, terms and conditions to those prevailing in the market at the time of their approval and that meet the requirements and procedures indicated in that standard. Moreover, Article 84 of the General Banking Law establishes limits on loans granted to related parties and prohibits the granting of loans to the Bank’s directors, managers and general representatives.

NOTE 30 -
RISK MANAGEMENT

1.
Introduction:

As a result of its activities, the Bank is exposed to several types of risks mainly related to its loan portfolio and financial instruments. The following sections describe the Bank’s main business activities and policies as they relate to risk management.

Risk Management Structure:

Board of Directors

At CorpBanca, the board of directors plays a leading role in corporate governance. It is responsible for establishing and monitoring the Bank’s risk management structure, for which it has a corporate governance system aligned with international best practices and Chilean regulations, mainly from the SBIF. One of the principal functions of the board of directors is to monitor, evaluate and guide upper management to ensure that their actions are in line with best practices.  To accomplish this, various Committees, support areas, codes and manuals have been developed, which lay out behavioral guidelines for the Bank’s associates and assist them in carrying out their functions related to controlling and managing the Bank’s risks.

Directors’ and Audit Committee

The purpose of the Directors Committee is to strengthen self-regulation within the Bank, thus improving the efficiency of the directors’ supervisory activities.  This committee is responsible for, among other functions, examining accounting and financial reports, transactions with related parties and compensation of managers and senior executives.

The Audit Committee’s objective is to promote efficiency within the Bank’s internal control systems and compliance with regulations. In addition, it must reinforce and support both the function of the Bank’s Office of the Comptroller and its independence from management and serve, at the same time, as a bridge between the internal audit department and the external auditors as well as between these two groups and the board of directors.

At a meeting of the board of directors on August 30, 2011, the board agreed that the Directors’ Committee would take on additional functions of an audit committee and its name would be changed to the Directors’-Audit Committee.

Corporate Governance Committee

The Corporate Governance Committee is a consultation body of the board of directors whose mission is to ensure the existence and development within the Bank of the best corporate governance practices for financial entities. To this end, it is responsible for evaluating the current practices and policies, proposing and making recommendations to the board of directors on improvements, reforms and adjustments that it deems appropriate, also ensuring proper implementation and application of these

corporate governance practices and policies defined by the Bank’s board of directors.  The Committee performs these functions for the Bank, its divisions, its subsidiaries and its foreign entities.

The Committee is comprised of five members of the board of directors and may include external advisors. It is chaired by Catalina Saieh Guzmán. The other members are Ana Holuigue Barros, Rafael Guilisasti Gana, José Luis Mardones Santander and Gustavo Arriagada Morales. Its permanent advisor is Alejandro Ferreiro Yazigi. During 2013, the Corporate Governance Committee met 9 times.

This Committee is governed by its by-laws, as well as applicable SBIF regulations, general character standards from the SVS, the General Banking Law, the Corporations Law and other current laws and regulations or others issued in the future on these matters. The work of this Committee is also particularly based on the principles of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as well as of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision with regards to good governance matters in financial companies.

During 2013, the Committee approved the by-laws that govern the Committee in terms of its composition and quorum for meeting, as well as its functions, powers and sessions.

Loan Committees

These committees are comprised of executives from the commercial and risk divisions as well as directors based on the required credit attributions and are intended to make decisions on different loan transactions and conditions that involve credit risk for the Bank. In addition, the highest decision-making authority--the Executive Committee--approves new, amended and/or updated credit policies.


Commercial Risk Committee

The objective of this Committee is to evaluate risk policies, mechanisms and procedures in place as well as to recommend measures and adjustments that help optimize the risk-return ratio for all segments within retail or consumer banking, maintaining risk in line with the returns sought by the Bank, granting flexible and specialized services that meet their customers needs. It proposes policies and strategies to improve diverse credit risk management processes in order to evaluate, rate and control the Bank’s internal processes to guarantee effective compliance and achieve proposed objectives. It reports directly to the Bank’s board of directors and is comprised of several directors other than the members of the Directors’-Audit Committee.


Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO)

This committee is responsible for establishing the policy framework for financial risk management, in accordance with guidelines defined by the board of directors and current legislation, as well as reviewing macroeconomic and financial conditions, the risks taken by the Company and the results obtained. Its main function is divided between commercial and financial matters. It approves the strategies that guide the Bank’s composition of assets and liabilities, cash inflows and outflows and transactions with financial instruments. This was done so that, after considering the diverse alternatives available, the


 
103

 


Bank makes the decisions that ensure the highest and most sustainable returns with risk levels that are compatible with the financial business, current regulations and internal standards.

Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Finance Prevention Committee

This committee is in charge of preventing money laundering and terrorism financing. Its main purposes include planning and coordinating activities to comply with related policies and procedures, maintaining itself informed of work carried out by the Compliance Officer and making decisions on any improvements to control measures proposed by the Compliance Officer.

Compliance Committee

The purpose of this committee is to monitor compliance with the Codes of Conduct and other complementary rules; establish and develop procedures necessary for compliance with these codes; interpret, administer and supervise compliance with these rules; and resolve any conflicts that may arise.  This committee is comprised of one director; the Chief Executive Officer; the Legal Services Division Manager; the Organizational Development Division Manager and the Compliance Officer.

Office of the Comptroller

The main function of the Office of the Comptroller is to support the board of directors and upper management to ensure maintenance, application and proper functioning of the Bank’s internal control system, which also entails supervising compliance with rules and procedures.

Code of Conduct and Market Information Manual

CorpBanca’s objective is to continue progressing to become the best bank and have first-rate human capital.  All associates and directors of CorpBanca and its subsidiaries must adhere to ethical standards based on principles and values designed to guide and maintain the highest possible standards.

In response to our clients’ trust and recognition, which are vital to our success, all associates and directors should strive to retain this trust, strictly complying with the General Code of Conduct, approved in 2008 by the Bank’s management and the Audit Committee.

Watch List

An asset under special observation (SO) presents weaknesses that can correct themselves, but requires special attention from each account executive and the Rating and Asset Control Division. Payment outlooks are satisfactory but may deteriorate if these weaknesses are not corrected. Loans in this category do not necessarily present expected losses for the Bank.

To safeguard the credit quality of loans, the Bank has established that the commercial segments must maintain a minimum of 5% of the Bank’s commercial portfolio under special observation.
 
 
The SO portfolio is managed by the Commercial Areas. These areas must comply with action plans established by the Special Observation Committee.

The SO portfolio is also reviewed by the Special Observation Committee, which is composed of the Companies Credit Risk and/or Credit Risk Division Manager, Rating and Asset Control Division Manager and the corresponding Commercial Area Managers, based on the following timetable:

Every 4 months
Debtors are reviewed using these strategies:
   
 
V1
Exit
 
V2
Guarantee
 
V3
Reduce
     
Every 6 months
V4
Continue
Every 2 months
V5
Structured exit
   
If the loan remains unpaid.

The committee reviews all debtors classified individually as under special observation, which controls 93% of the Bank’s commercial portfolio on a case-by-case basis.

The Risk Manager of each commercial segment and the Rating and Asset Control Division Manager are responsible for monitoring the account executive’s compliance with action plans and any agreements made by the Special Observation Committee.

Debtors on the watch list must be included in the following action plans, depending on the type of problems that affect them:

Debtors with exit plans.

The Bank made the decision to completely eliminate the risk. For these debtors, there must be a defined payment plan.
V1
   
Debtors with plans to increase guarantee coverage.
V2

Default Portfolio

This includes the entire portfolio managed by the Normalization Division. All customers with individual ratings of C1 and all customers that have defaulted on any loan regardless of their rating should be transferred to this division.

The Rating and Asset Control Division reviews compliance with this provision on a monthly basis.

This portfolio is reviewed on a monthly basis by the Ratings and Asset Control Area, which also meets periodically with the Loan Restructuring Manager.

Derivative instruments

The Bank has strict controls for derivative contracts negotiated directly with its counterparties.  Credit risk is limited to the fair value of contracts that are favorable for the Bank (asset position), which only represents a small fraction of the notional values of those instruments.  This exposure to credit risk is managed as part of the loan limits for customers, together with potential exposure from market fluctuations.  In order to mitigate risk, the Bank tends to operate with counterparty deposit margins.

Contingent Commitments

The Bank operates with diverse instruments that, although they are exposed to credit risk, are not reflected in the balance sheet. These include guarantors and pledges, documentary letters of credit, bank guarantees and commitments to grant loans.

Cosignatories and sureties represent an irrevocable payment obligation.  In the event that a customer with a co-signer does not fulfill its obligations with third parties guaranteed by the Bank, this will affect the corresponding payments so that these transactions represent the same exposure to credit risk as a common loan.

Documentary letters of credit are commitments documented by the Bank on behalf of a customer that are guaranteed by merchandise on board, which therefore have less risk than direct indebtedness.  Bank guarantees are contingent commitments that take effect only if the customer does not comply with a commitment made with a third party, guaranteed by them.

Regarding commitments to grant loans, the Bank is potentially exposed to losses equivalent to the unused total of the commitment.  However, the likely amount of the loss is less than the unused total of the commitment.  The Bank monitors the maturity of lines of credit because generally long-term commitments have greater credit risk than short-term commitments.

Financial Instruments

For this type of asset, the Bank measures the probability of not being able to collect from issuers using internal and external ratings such as risk rating agencies that are independent from the Bank.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Definition and Principles of Financial Risk Management

Market Risk

Definition

Market risk is the exposure to economic gains or losses caused by movements in prices and market variables. This exposure stems from both the trading book, where positions are valued at fair value, and the banking book, which is at amortized cost. The different valuation methodologies require the use of diverse tools to measure and control the impact on either the value of the Bank’s positions or its financial margin.
Decisions as to how to manage these risks are reviewed by committees, the most important of which is the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO).
Each of the activities are measured, analyzed and reported on a daily basis using different metrics to ascertain their risk profiles.
The following section describes the main risk factors along with the tools we use to monitor the most important impacts of market risk factors to which the Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed.
 
Risk Factors
 
Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the exposure to adverse movements in the exchange rates of currencies other than the base currency for all balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions.
The main sources of foreign exchange risk are:
- Positions in foreign currency (FX) within the trading book.
- Currency mismatches between assets and liabilities in the banking book.
- Cash flow mismatches in different currencies.
- Structural positions produced from consolidating assets and liabilities from our foreign branches and subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than the Chilean peso. As a result, movements in exchange rates can generate volatility within the bank’s income statement and equity. This effect is known as “translation risk”.

 
Indexation Risk

Indexation risk is the exposure to changes in indexed units (e.g. UF, UVR or others) linked to domestic or foreign currency in which any instruments, contracts or other transactions recorded in the balance sheet may be denominated.

 


 
112

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

 
Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to movements in market interest rates. Changes in market interest rates can affect both the price of trading instruments and the net interest margin and other gains from the banking book such as fees. Likewise, fluctuations in interest rates can affect the underlying value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities and of derivative instruments that are recorded off balance sheet at fair value.
Interest rate risk can be represented by sensitivities to parallel and/or non-parallel yield shifts with the effects reflected in the prices of instruments, the financial margin and equity.
Movements in interest rates can be explained by at least the following risk factors:
 
·
Systemic risk
 
 
·
Funding Liquidity Risk
 
 
·
Credit risk
 
 
·
Specific risk
 

 
Prepayment or Call Risk

This risk arises from the possible prepayment (partial or full) of any transaction before its contractual maturity, generating the need to reinvest the freed cash flows at a different rate than that of the prepaid transaction.

 
Underwriting Risk

This risk arises as a result of the Bank underwriting a placement of bonds or other debt instruments, taking on the risk of coming to own the portion of the issuance that could not be placed among potential interested parties.

 
Correlation Risk

Correlation risk is the exposure to changes in estimated correlations between the relative value of two or more assets, or a difference between the effective and estimated correlation over the life of the transaction.

 
Market Liquidity Risk

Market liquidity risk is the exposure to losses as a result of the potential impact on transaction prices or costs in the sale or closure of a position. This risk is related to the particular market’s degree of depth.
 


 
113

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013

 
Volatility Risk

In addition to the exposure related to the underlying asset, issuing options has other risks. These risks arise from the non-linear relationship between the gain generated by the option and the price and level of the underlying factors, as well as the exposure to changes in the perceived volatility of these factors.

 
Management Principles

The following principles govern the market risk management efforts of CorpBanca and its subsidiaries:
 
 
·
Business and trades are conducted in line with established policies, pre-approved limits, guidelines, procedure controls and clearly defined delegation of decision-making authority, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
 
 
·
The Bank’s organizational structure must ensure effective segregation of duties so that trading, monitoring, accounting and risk measurement and management are performed and reported independently using a dual-control system.
 
 
·
Trading of new products and participation in new markets can only take place if:
 
 
o
The product has been approved by the Bank’s New Product Committee.
 
 
o
A full assessment has been conducted to determine if the activity falls within the bank’s general risk tolerance and specific commercial objectives.
 
 
o
Proper controls and limits have been set for that activity.
 
 
·
The limits, terms and conditions stipulated in the authorizations are monitored on a daily basis and any excesses are reported no later than the following day.
 
 
·
Trading positions are valued each day at fair value in accordance with the Valuation Policy.
 
 
·
All trades must be executed at current market rates.
 

Funding Liquidity Risk
 
Definition

Funding liquidity risk is the exposure of the Bank and its subsidiaries to events that affect their ability to meet, in a timely manner and at reasonable costs, cash payment obligations arising from maturities of time deposits that are not renewed, withdrawals from demand accounts, maturities or settlements of derivatives, liquidations of investments or any other payment obligation.


 
114

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and December 31, 2013


Financial institutions are exposed to funding liquidity risk that is intrinsic to the role of intermediary that they play in the economy. In general, in financial markets demand for medium or long-term financing is usually much greater than the supply of funds for those terms while short-term financing is in considerable supply. In this sense, the role of intermediary played by financial institutions, which assume the risk of satisfying the demand for medium and long-term financing by brokering short-term available funds, is essential for the economy to function properly.

Appropriately managing funding liquidity risk not only allows contractual obligations to be met in a timely manner, but also enables:

 
·
the liquidation of positions, when it so decides, to occur without significant losses.
 
 
·
the commercial and treasury activities of the Bank and its subsidiaries to be financed at competitive rates.
 
 
·
the Bank to avoid fines or regulatory sanctions for not complying with regulations.
 

 
Management Principles

The principles used to manage funding liquidity risk include:

 
·
Balancing strategic liquidity objectives with corporate profitability objectives, designing and implementing investment and financing strategies to compete with our key competitors.
 
 
·
Designing policies, limits and procedures in accordance with banking regulations, internal rules and CorpBanca’s strategic business objectives.
 
 
·
Establishing a robust framework for managing liquidity risk that guarantees that the entity will maintain sufficient liquidity, including a cushion of high-quality, unencumbered liquid assets that can be used to contend with a series of stress-generating events, including those that bring about losses or weaken sources of secured and unsecured financing.
 
 
·
Clearly establishing liquidity risk tolerance appropriate for its business strategy and its size within the financial system.
 
 
·
The Bank has a financing strategy that promotes effective diversification of funding sources and maturities. It maintains a continuous presence in the funding market with correspondent banks and select customers, maintaining close relationships and promoting diversification of funding sources. It also keeps appropriate lines of financing available, ensuring its ability to obtain liquid resources quickly. The Bank has identified the main factors of
 

 

 
115

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

vulnerability that affect its ability to secure funds and monitors the validity of the assumptions behind estimates for obtaining funding.
 
 
·
CorpBanca actively manages its intraday liquidity positions and risks in order to punctually meet its payment and liquidation obligations both under normal circumstances as well as situations of stress, contributing to the smooth operations of the payment and settlement systems.
 

Counterparty Risk

Credit default risk is the risk of loss arising from non-compliance by a given counterparty, for whatever reason, in paying all or part of its obligations with the Bank under contractually agreed-upon conditions. This risk also includes a given counterparty’s inability to comply with obligations to settle derivative operations with bilateral risk.
The Bank diversifies credit risk by placing limits on the concentration of this risk in any one individual debtor, debtor group, product, industry segment or country. Such risks are continuously monitored and the limits by debtor, debtor group, product, industry and country are reviewed at least once per year and approved by the respective committee.
Exposure to credit risk is evaluated using an individual analysis of the payment capacity of debtors and potential debtors to meet their obligations on time and as agreed.
Furthermore, the Bank has strict controls for derivative contracts negotiated directly with its counterparties. This exposure is managed using limits per customer based on a risk methodology equivalent to credit risk exposure. Lastly, the values of derivatives are adjusted to reflect the expected loss from the counterparty.


Corporate Governance Structure and Committees

CorpBanca has established a sound organizational structure for monitoring, controlling and managing market risks, based on the following principles:

 
·
Risk is monitored and controlled by parties independent from those managing risk, thus correctly aligning incentives.
 
 
·
Management efforts should be flexible, within the framework permitted by policies, rules and current regulations.
 
 
·
Senior management establishes the guidelines for risk appetite, and
 
 
·
is informed periodically on risk levels assumed, contingencies and instances when limits are exceeded.
 
In order to guarantee the flexibility of management efforts and communication of risk levels to upper management, a network of committees has been established, detailed as follows:

 
·
Daily Committee: Meets daily to review financial conditions and the latest market movements. This committee reviews the relevance of positions on a
 

 
116

 


CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

daily basis in order to detect in advance any scenarios that could negatively impact returns and liquidity. It also monitors the performance of strategies used for each of the portfolios.
 
 
·
Market and Proprietary Trading Committee: Meets weekly to analyze management of positions. This committee reviews local and global economic conditions and projections in order to analyze the potential benefits and risks of the strategies executed and evaluate new strategies.
 
 
·
Financial Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of structural interest rate and indexation risk in the banking book.
 
 
·
Liquidity Management Committee: Meets biweekly to analyze management of funding liquidity risk.
 
 
·
Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO): Meets biweekly to analyze economic and financial conditions and inform senior management of market and liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting indexes of market and funding liquidity risk, limit consumption and results of stress tests.
 
 
·
Board of Directors The board of directors is informed each quarter of the market and funding liquidity risk levels assumed by presenting established risk indexes, limit consumption and results of stress tests.
 
The Divisions in charge of managing market and funding liquidity risk are:

The Treasury Division is responsible for managing market risk. Its primary objective is to generate or conduct business with customers while its secondary function is to carry out proprietary trading.

The Finance and International Division is responsible for managing all structural risks in the markets in which it operates through the Financial Management and Liquidity Management Areas in order to provide greater stability to the financial margin and ensure suitable levels of solvency and liquidity.

As with the structure for financial risk at a corporate level, each local financial risk unit arranges its functions based on the specific characteristics of the business, operations, legal requirements or other relevant aspects.

In order to guarantee adherence to corporate policies and proper local execution, the corporate financial risk area and local units have the following roles and functions:

Limits and Warning Levels
 
Trading Book
The trading book consists of financial instruments that are allocated to diverse portfolios based on their strategy. The market risk of these instruments stems mainly from being recorded at fair value. As a result, changes in market conditions can directly impact their value. The following sections describe the monitoring and control structure for market risk in the trading book used during the first quarter of 2014.
 
Value at Risk (VaR)
The Value at Risk (VaR) methodology is the main tool for controlling market risk in the trading book. Its appeal lies in its providing a statistical measurement of the maximum expected loss at a certain defined level of confidence, consolidating the risk exposures with the observed distribution of market factors.
The following table shows the limit structure used by the Bank and its subsidiaries for 2014.

Interest Rate and Currency Sensitivity

Measuring interest rate and currency sensitivity is one of the main tools for monitoring market risk in the trading book, enabling the Bank to break down, understand and report on the directional positions to which it is exposed.

Interest rate and currency sensitivity is monitored on a daily basis and is limited by the VaR limits established for each portfolio.

At the same time, exchange rate risk is controlled using notional limits, giving fluidity to currency products with customers and simultaneously limiting trading positions. The following table shows the current notional limits as well as closing positions as of March 31, 2014.

Banking Book

The banking book consists primarily of:
Assets
Cash
 
Commercial, mortgage and consumer loans from the commercial areas.
 
Fixed-income instruments classified as available for sale or held to maturity.
 
Liabilities
Demand deposits
 
Time deposits
 
Senior and subordinated bonds
 
Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting: Derivatives that, meeting certain requirements, are given an accounting treatment different than those derivatives recorded in the trading book, the objective of which is to manage risks in the banking book.
 

 
The banking book’s main risks and the tools used to monitor, control and manage these risks are described below.

 
PV(90)

The banking book includes a portfolio of financial investments classified as available-for-sale instruments. The size of the portfolio is monitored using the sensitivity of the fair value to an increase of 90 bps in valuation rates, which must be less than 5% of regulatory capital.

The following graph shows the evolution of the index compared with its limit for Chile.

Sensitivity to Indexation

CorpBanca’s balance sheet presents a mismatch between inflation-indexed assets and liabilities. The Chilean market has more indexed assets than liabilities, which explains why the Bank has a mismatch of inflation-indexed assets. This is due to the existence of medium and long-term indexed assets that are financed with liabilities in Chilean pesos.
Hedge accounting is used as an effective and relatively low-cost tool to manage this risk.
 
The following table shows the size of the mismatch as of March 31, 2014, and the mismatch statistics during the period.
 
 
 

The following graph shows the evolution of this mismatch during 2014. Throughout 2014, exposure remained at moderate levels, decreasing towards the end of the period.

Sensitivity of Financial Margin and Economic Capital

The Annual Income Sensitivity (AIS) index measures the sensitivity of the interest margin to 100 bps variations in the refinancing rate for assets and liabilities during the next 12 months. The established limits are much lower than the Bank’s annual net income. During 2014, the sensitivity risk in the interest margin in Chile has remained low with a positive sensitivity to drops in interest rates.

The Market Value Sensitivity (MVS) index measures the sensitivity of the economic value (fair value) of the banking book in the event of a 100 bps increase in the valuation rates of assets and liabilities.

The tables below show the evolution of sensitivity indicators for interest margins and economic capital for Chile and Colombia. It is important to mention that Helm Bank was incorporated into these measurements beginning in August.

Structural Exchange Rate Risk

Structural exchange rate risk arises from the Bank’s positions in currencies other than the Chilean peso related primarily to the consolidation of investments in subsidiaries or affiliates and the net income and hedges of these investments. The process of managing structural exchange rate risk is dynamic and attempts to limit the impact of currency depreciation, thus optimizing the financial cost of hedges.
 
The general policy for managing this risk is to finance them in the currency of the investment provided that the depth of the market so allows and the cost is justified by the expected depreciation. One-time hedges are also taken out when the Bank considers that any currency may weaken beyond market expectations with respect to the Chilean peso. As of March 31, 2014, greater ongoing exposure was concentrated in Colombian pesos (approximately US$1.1 billion).
 
 The Bank hedges part of these positions on a permanent basis using currency derivatives.

 
  Stress Tests

These exercises allow weaknesses in positions and the balance sheet structure to be diagnosed.  From this, the Bank can create a critical factor plan to be used before such scenarios come about, or a contingency plan for when the scenarios have already taken place or the estimated probability of occurrence is high.

Methodologies
 
Trading Book

 
Value at Risk - VaR

For the calculation of VaR, the non-parametric method of historical simulation is used, which consists of using a historical series of prices and the position at risk from the trading book.
 
A time series of simulated prices and yields is constructed with the assumption that the portfolio was conserved for the period of time of the historical series. The VaR tries to quantify a threshold of expected losses, which should only occur a certain percentage of times based on the level of confidence used in the calculation.

 
Rate Sensitivity

Sources of rate risk include forwards, swaps and options. Rate sensitivity is calculated and reported by portfolio, by relevant discount curve and by maturity.
 
The present value of the portfolio is stressed by 1 bp. In other words, the present value is calculated by increasing the respective discount rate by 1 bp. The sensitivity of options is calculated using the theta value.
 
The variation in the present value of the portfolio corresponds to its sensitivity at a variation of one basis point (bp).
 
       DV01im = PV''im PV
 
 
·
DV01: Sensitivity to 1 bp variation in rate i at band m.
 
·
PV: Present value of portfolio’s cash flows.

Sensitivity to Indexation

Sources of indexation risk come from both balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions such as derivatives that, as a result of a change in indexation units (UF, UVR or others), impact the Bank’s net income.
 
As with currency sensitivity, indexation sensitivity is the market valuation of each indexed cash flow. That is, the cash flows in indexation units expressed at present value.

Regulatory Monitoring

Regulatory monitoring of market risk exposure is measured in accordance with the provisions established in chapter III.B.2 of the Compendium of Financial Standards from the Chilean Central Bank and in Chapter 12-9 of the Updated Compilation of Standards from the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions both for the trading book and the banking book. In the trading book, the impact is measured in the event of a change in the market price of its financial positions as a result of variations in interest rates, exchange rates and volatility. In the banking book, the impact is measured on the entity’s financial margin and present value.

The limits established for the trading book are for exposure to interest rate risk and exchange rate risk. The difference between the regulatory capital recorded by the financial institution and the sum of the following two items cannot be negative: (i) the product of the credit risk-weighted assets defined in article 67 of the General Banking

Law and the minimum percentage established for regulatory capital in article 66 of that law, and (ii) the sum of the trading book’s exposure to interest rate risk and the exchange rate risks for the entire balance sheet measured in accordance with the Basel standard methodology with some important differences where exchange rate exposure stands out. As indicated in the paragraph above, the Bank must always comply with the following ratio:



Market risk exposure in accordance with regulatory methodology is detailed below:

The market risk presented in the table above (measured in units of risk-weighted assets) shows that capital consumption related to the Bank’s exposures to market risks is explained in more than 80% of the cases by the effect of our investment in CorpBanca Colombia. As of December 2013, this investment amounted to approximately US$1.5 billion. The main variation over 2012 stems from the incorporation of Helm Bank in our financial statements. This exposure to exchange rate risk--Chilean peso vs. Colombian peso--is considered structural in the sense that it arises from a long-term investment.

It is also worth mentioning that in accordance with Chilean regulations, a sensitivity factor of 35% is applied to net exposures in foreign currencies of countries other than those classified as AAA or their equivalent. The standard sensitivity factor in the Basel standards is only 8%. As a result, the capital consumption that the Bank must report to comply with local regulations is more than 4 times greater than if international recommendations were applied.

The regulatory model for market risk in Colombia, as in Chile, is based on the standard Basel model, separated into risk factors (i.e. interest rate, exchange rate and stock price).  The volatilities applied to each of the factors are established by regulators. This result is used for the solvency margin, to which a factor equivalent to 100/9 is applied.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Chilean regulations also require banks to establish limits for their market risk exposure in their banking book, which includes limits based on sensitivity in the financial margin and volatility in its equity value. Measurement of exposure to interest rate and indexation risks in the banking book must consider both the short-term impact on the capacity to generate net interest and indexation income and the fees sensitive to changes in interest rates, as well as the long-term impact on the institution’s economic value of adverse movements in interest rates.

The banking book’s exposure to the net interest and indexation margin is known as the short-term limit and cannot exceed 35% of the accumulated interest and indexation margin, plus fees sensitive to interest rates charged in the twelve months prior to the date of measurement. The exposure of capital to changes in interest rates has a long-term limit that cannot exceed 27% of regulatory capital. Both limits were presented and ratified by the Bank’s board of directors.

The exposure of regulatory limits in the banking book for Chile are detailed as follows.

Finally, regulatory provisions in Colombia do not establish methodologies for determining market risk exposure for the banking book. However, they are monitored, controlled and reported on a daily basis using the internal methodologies described above.

Funding Liquidity Risk
 
Management Tools

In order to comply with risk management objectives for funding liquidity risk, the monitoring and control structure is centered mainly on the following focal points:
 
 
·
Short-term maturity mismatch

·
Coverage capacity using liquid assets
 
 
·
Concentration of funding sources
 
Additionally, the monitoring and control structure for liquidity risk is complemented with stress testing in order to observe the institution’s ability to respond in the event of illiquid conditions.

 
Internal Monitoring
 
Limits and Warning Levels
 
Thirty-day Liquidity Coverage Ratio

In order to safeguard the Bank’s payment capacity in the event of illiquid conditions, a minimum has been established for the instruments portfolio that enables cash flows to be quickly generated either through liquidation or because they can be used as collateral for new funding sources.
 
The limit for the liquidity coverage ratio is 50% of the 30-day mismatch in consolidated currency.
 
The composition of liquid assets as of March 31, 2014 after applying the respective price volatility haircuts and market liquidity adjustments is presented in the table below.

Daily Wholesale Maturities

In order to control concentration of funding sources and safeguard compliance with obligations, the Bank monitors maturities of deposits in Chilean pesos by wholesale customers. This monitoring is conducted with a daily limit of MCh$50,000 of maturities per day.

Special treatment is given to this customer segment for two reasons:

 
·
They individually represent an important percentage of CorpBanca’s business.
 
 
·
Given the profile of these customers in the wholesale segment, the renewal rate for these deposits tends to be lower. This last reason is consistent with cash disbursement models in regulatory reports, which do not assume that wholesale customers will renew deposits.
 
The maturity profile for wholesale deposits is monitored on a daily basis. As a result, excesses are detected and reported based on the structure of the maturity profile. Forecasted excesses must be justified the day after they are reported and must then be managed.
 
Warning Levels for Liquidity Requirements

In addition to monitoring and reporting all internal limits on a daily basis, senior management is informed each month through the ALCO and the board of directors is informed each quarter. Special importance is placed on the Bank’s liquidity position by presenting an analysis of measurements of concentration, performance, premiums paid and/or other relevant variables.
 
Monitoring Funding Sources

Monitoring of variations in the stock of short-term funding such as time and demand deposits for each of the segments represents a key variable in monitoring the Bank’s liquidity. Identifying abnormal volatilities in these funding sources enables the Bank to quickly foresee possible undesired liquidity problems and thus to suggest action plans for managing them.
 
Survival Horizon under Individual Stress

As a function of stressed maturities and renewal ratios, days of survival are estimated based on projected liquidity needs and the portfolio of available liquid assets.  Based on these scenarios, any significant deviation is studied to determine whether action plans need to be implemented.
 
Stress Tests

Stress testing is a tool that complements the analysis of liquidity risk management as it enables the Bank to know its ability to respond in the event of extreme illiquid conditions and to trigger its contingency plans, if necessary, to address such conditions.

In particular, three types of scenarios are modeled:

 
·
Individual Crisis: the financial system losses confidence in the Bank, which translates into important withdrawals from demand accounts, decreases in deposits and bond investments by customers and penalties to its funding rates.
 
 
·
Systemic Crisis: Local weakening of financial and credit conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, massive outflows of capital, increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.
 
 
·
Global Crisis: Global weakening of financial, credit and economic conditions that causes the market to seek refuge in the U.S. dollar, greater restrictions on access to credit from abroad, decreased exposure to credit risk (replaced by sovereign risk), increases in the use of lines of credit and downward adjustments in expectations for the monetary policy rate.
 
 
Regulatory Monitoring

In accordance with Chapter III B.2 from the Chilean Central Bank and Chapter 12-9 of the Updated Compilation of Standards from the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, the Bank must measure and control its liquidity position based on the difference between cash flows payable from liability and expense accounts and cash flows receivable from asset and income accounts for a given period or time band, which is called maturity mismatch.

This measurement is determined for controlling the liquidity position of the Bank itself and of its subsidiaries. The maturity mismatch calculation is carried out separately for domestic and foreign currency, setting limits based on capital and cash flows accumulated at 30 and 90 days:

 
·
The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.
 
 
·
The maturity mismatch in foreign currencies for periods less than or equal to 30 days must be less than or equal to the Bank’s basic capital.
 
 
·
The maturity mismatch in all currencies for periods less than or equal to 90 days must be less than or equal to twice the Bank’s basic capital.
 
In full compliance with the Chilean Central Bank and the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions, CorpBanca’s board of directors approved a policy to measure and control its liquidity position based on maturity mismatches on an adjusted basis with a 10% cushion with respect to the regulatory limit.

The table below shows the use of internal mismatch limits as of year-end 2013 and some consumption statistics for the year.

With respect to the Colombian market, regulatory measurement known as the standard LRI model measures seven and 30-day mismatches of balance sheet positions (assets and liabilities) and off-balance sheet positions such as derivatives.

The model indicates that renewal percentages are not applied for positions with contractual maturities.   For positions without contractual maturities, historical behavior is analyzed in order to estimate structural cash flows and volatilities.
