LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

The year 2004 was a period of favorable evolution for CORPBANCA and for the

implementation of its business strategy. Maximizing growth while not forgetting the

strict commitment maintained on loan quality and expense efficiency, was the central

line of this process, as it has been during previous fiscal years. Due to this,

CORPBANCA, once again, expanded over industry levels, with a risk level below the

banking sector average and as market leader in efficiency ratios. Nevertheless, a new

achievement must be added to the above, associated with our view on solvency and

the soundness of the institution’s equity, as is reflected by the cost of borrowings that

operated in 2004 fiscal year-, which is, by any measure, one of the lowest in the

Chilean financial system. Moreover, CORPBANCA investors received a new

demonstration of our commitment and transparency when the American Depositary

Receipts (ADRs) were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which were previously

maintained as a private placement (144-A).

Loans, net of interbank -, grew by 13.2% in real terms, which is consequent with the

Bank’s historical trajectory recorded since its creation. This entailed an expansion of

Ch$ 282,820 million and a new growth in the market share, which stands at 6.5% at

the end of 2004.

CORPBANCA has continued its expansion towards more profitable operating

segments, catering to its customers with innovative products and services. Regarding

the Retail Banking Division, consumer loans and housing mortgages grew by more

than 34.4% during 2004. This was possible thanks to the significant expansion of

mass banking, through Bancondell, as well as to the new record sales figures in

mortgage operations, reaching Ch$ 100,952 million, mainly through the form of

”flexible mortgage loans”. The expansion strategy on mortgage operations, with a

leading price product, has complemented other products such as current accounts,

credit lines for overdrafts, credit and debit cards, as well as others that have enabled

to take cross services to the client base level and therefore generating an increase in

CORPBANCA’s fee net income.

3

Likewise, the Medium-Sized Company Banking , measured through products such as

commercial loans, foreign trade, factoring and leasing, recorded an approximate

14.3% expansion, equal to Ch$ 190,190 million, helped develop new projects in this

area, the basis of CORPBANCA´s long term strategy.

Unlike other years, financial investments rose significantly during 2004 as a result of

interesting new perspectives in international markets, which translated into an

increase of approximately 11.4%, equating to Ch$ 51,683 million. It is important to

highlight that the new instruments represent a protection alternative for the high –

capital level held by CORPBANCA, in the form of safe investments geared towards

well rated companies and governments, protected from fluctuations in interest rates

and potential effects that could arise from unexpected volatility in exchange rates.

Loan portfolio quality continued to improve during 2004 (as revealed by the evolution

of the past due loan portfolio), representing 0.8% of loans, contrasting with 1.2% as

of December 2003. Complementarily, coverage of provisions over past due loans also

improved by increasing from 170.8% in 2003 to 211.8% in 2004. However, the most

outstanding area refers to the evolution of the risk index, measured as total provisions

for loan losses over total loans, which even when incorporating the regulatory

changes that elevated the categories of loan classifications used by CORPBANCA

from five to eleven, presented a noticeable improvement on passing from 2.1% in

2003 to 1.7% in 2004.

The strong growth experienced in revenues during the last three years, redounded in

the extinction, during 2004, of the tributary benefit that was originated, at the time, by

the subordinated debt that the institution held with Chilean Central Bank. The

constitution of a tax provision, translating real tax rate from 17% to 11.4%, entailed a

net income of Ch$ 50,767 million in 2004, similar to the one recorded the previous

year. Earnings before taxes in 2004 reached Ch$ 57,279 million, increasing 7.1%

when compared to previous year. Likewise, return on equity reached 15.6%, which,

before taxes, was17.6%.

CORPBANCA’s expansion program implied an increase in the number of operations

within a framework of control and improvement in efficiency levels. In this way, the

4

Institution continued with the adaptation of its organizational structure, by creating, in

the commercial area, the Sales Channels Division in order to strengthen the

performance of retail and massive banking. Support areas continue centralizing

processes and taking better advantage of the recently implemented integrated

banking system (IBS). All of the above entailed maintaining the efficiency level in

strategic standards, reaching 39.2%. Therefore, once again in 2004, the Bank

emerges as one of the most efficient institutions in the financial system and is clearly

the most efficient among its peers.

CORPBANCA ended 2004 as one of the banks that enjoys the most solid capital base

of the industry, as shown by a 14.5% Basle Index, result of the significant capital

increase carried out during 2002 and the capital-raising policy the Institution has

maintained.

CORPBANCA’s credit standing presented to the institutional market has permitted it

to obtain the investment category (BBB+) granted by important international risk

classifiers such as Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings.

In conclusion, 2004 was a period of continuity in CORPBANCA’s strategic orientation,

seeking as always the best relationship between shareholders, employees and clients

in a context characterized by an adequate level of profitability, portfolio quality,

efficiency and excellence of service.

BUSINESS AND ACTIVITIES

Historical Background

In mid 1871, a group of neighbors from Concepción led by Aníbal Pinto, who would

later become President of Chile, drew up the by-laws of Banco de Concepción. The

Bank began business that year, on October 6th, and has continued operating

uninterrupted until today, which makes it the oldest bank in Chile. Following

nationalization of private sector banking in 1971, the ownership of the Bank changed

and came under the control of CORFO. That same year, Banco de Concepción

acquired the local interests of Banco Francés and Italiano, which provided the

institution presence in Santiago. Later, in 1972, the bank purchased Banco de Chillán

and, in 1975, Banco de Valdivia. In November 1975, CORFO sold shares to private

sector businessmen who took control of the bank the following year. After a period of

growth, in 1980 Banco de Concepción was redefined as a nationwide bank; it

changed its name to Banco Concepción and moved its headquarters from

Concepción to Santiago. In 1986 the National Mining Corporation (SONAMI) acquired

the Bank and took special interest in financing small and medium mining projects,

increased its capital and sold its riskier portfolio to the Central Bank. In late 1995,

SONAMI sold the majority of its shareholding in the Bank to a group of investors led

by Mr. Alvaro Saieh B., through the holding company INFISA (now Corp Group).

Since the acquisition, the new shareholders defined a new strategy; restructuring and

repositioning its business in order to compete with Chile’s leading institutions. To

promote growth, the controlling group redefined the Bank’s objectives making its

target market personal financing and developing products for the middle-income

population and small and medium sized companies. In the first quarter of 1997 the

shareholders of Banco Concepción reached an agreement with the Chilean Central

Bank over extinguishing the subordinated debt that had existed since the early 80’s.

As part of the repositioning strategy the bank’s name was changed to CORPBANCA.

In 1998, through the acquisition of Corfinsa (consumer loan division of Banco

Sudamericano) and Financiera Condell, the bank formed Bancondell initiating its

presence in the medium – lower income consumer business (massive banking). The

defined strategy has helped CORPBANCA achieve the financial sector’s second

14

strongest loan growth over the past seven years and, in addition, reversing the 1999

losses and achieve an adequate ROE since 2001.

Financial and Economic Environment

The Chilean economy consolidated its recovery during 2004, with its principal

macroeconomic indicators recording a favorable performance compared to the

previous year, which already began to show signs of recovery. Likewise, the solid

trends of these factors have enabled different players, including Central Bank of Chile

(BCCH), to make optimistic forecasts on the expected evolution for 2005.

Indeed, according to the Central Bank own estimations, economic growth reached

5.8% in 2004, comparable to the 3.3% recorded in 2003. This growth was led by an

expansion in domestic demand for the second consecutive year, from a growth of

3.5% in 2003, to 6.8% recorded in 2004, both figures consistent with the National

Income evolution.

One particularly important factor of added expenditure is the quality of its composition,

which reveals an important increase in investment and in the trade balance position.

Investment reached 24.6% of GDP, outpacing 2003, when it reached 21.2%. This

situation anticipates interesting expectations in job creation and in turn, a reduction in

the unemployment rate, which has already been showing encouraging signs. By year

end, this rate fell to 8.8% and the downward trend is expected to continue in the

upcoming months. Additionally, real salaries also reflect the effects of the recovery,

showing a 0.2% growth in twelve months to November 2004, which anticipates

improvements in wages and therefore a favorable outlook for the future performance

of internal demand.

Total exports reached US$32 billion, an unprecedented figure in Chilean economic

history, increasing, when compared to 2003, 52.1%. This was mainly achieved

because of the significant recovery in the prices of the country’s natural resources

exports, in particular copper. In fact, average price of the metal reached US$1.30 in

2004, a growth of 49 cents over the previous year, this is a 61%. Imports also rose to

a record of US$23 billion, which translated into a US$9 billion trade balance surplus,

tripling 2003. One interesting fact is that international economic outlook continues to

15

be as favorable for 2005 as the performance recorded in 2004 when expansion rose

to 4.9%.

Prices evolution were also consistent with domestic demand growth over product

expansion, whereby the Consumer Price Index rose from 1.4% in 2003 to 2.4% in

2004. This is basically explained by the domestic behavior of the economy, since the

tradable component, close to 50% of this index, was affected by the drastic recovery

of the Chilean peso, appreciating significantly from Ch$599.4 per dollar at December

2003, to Ch$559.8 by year end 2004, a contraction of around 7.0%.

Even though the Central Bank began to increase interest rates as part of its monetary

policy, from 1.75% in January, 2004 to 2.25% at November, 2004, its prevailing

economic value cannot yet be considered as one that influences any change in

consumption, so that it still equates real values of around 0%. This way, the amount

of money circulating in domestic economy increased in 21.1%, while the previous

year it only did it by 16.4%, indicating that the movements were consistent with the

expansion of added expenditure of the economy.

16

Banking Industry

The banking industry showed significant progress in terms of efficiency and

profitability, closing the year with a solid financial framework. Among its most

noteworthy areas is the recovery of the activity levels, with a strong expansion in total

loans, influenced by historically low interest rates and by the incorporation of new

clients. Competition has turned harder, due to the starting up of new financial

institutions as well as to the opening up of new and more ATM’s, credit cards and the

emergence of alternative loans suppliers.

The following table presents the development of financial institutions during the past

five years:

Another major highlight is the solid image achieved by the banking sector, both local

and overseas, in terms of solvency, strength and transparency. This was

accomplished fundamentally through the modernization of regulations and

supervision, improvements in risk portfolio, progress in efficiency levels, historical

profitability and good equity indexes. This was also complemented with advanced

customer service and modernized payment systems.

17

Among the most important structural changes observed in the industry, is the above

average growth of mid-sized banks to the detriment of the so-called “Megabanks”,

which have lost market share when compared to positions before mergers. And, as

already mentioned, the incorporation of new institutions focused on consumer banking

and the rising of non – banking consumer loans suppliers are relevant facts.

During 2004 total loans, net of interbank, increased in 11% in real terms, much more

than the 2003 growth of 4%.

This growth was reported mainly in mortgage and consumer loans which jointly

recorded an 18.2% real increase. However, business loans also expanded in

commercial, foreign trade, contingent, leasing and general-purpose mortgage areas,

posting an 8.1% increase, far outpacing the 1% growth of 2003, reflecting this group’s

greater interest in obtaining financing at lower rates from the local market.

The financial system’s loan quality also showed signs of recovery by virtue of the

global economic improvement. Thus, past due loans fell 18.9% when compared to

2003, reaching 1.2% of total loans (1.7% previous year). Moreover, the coverage ratio

for provisions over past due portfolio improved and rose from 130.9% in 2003 to

165.3% in 2004.

18

Efficiency ratio deteriorated when compared to 2003. The reason for this is the

increase in administrative expenses. Efficiency ratio went from 53.2% in 2003 up to

55.8% at the end of 2004.

On the other hand, total industry reached a net income of Ch$665,176 million,

representing an increase of 4.2% over the previous year, a positive figure even

though it is lower than the expansion recorded for loan placement. As a result of the

improved results obtained and higher equity solvency shown by the sector during

2004, ROE increased from 16.7% in December 2003 to 16.8% in December 2004.

ROA, likewise, varied from 1.5% to 1.4%, respectively.

Description of Business and Regulatory Framework

Over the last few years, the Banks and Financial Institutions Superintendency has

received numerous requests for banking licenses which is further testimony of the

sector’s dynamism. A new national bank, Monex, started up in 2003, while Conosur,

the only loans and savings company still acting as such, initiated operations as a

Bank (subsequently acquired by Banco de Crédito e Inversiones). Meanwhile, in

2004, Penta Bank started up, targeting high income segments, and Banco Paris,

mainly oriented towards consumer loans (it must be remembered that Banco Paris

acquired Santiago Express’ financial and fixed assets). The trend for niche banks is

likely to be further accentuated in view of these events with institutions targeting

specific segments or economic activities.

At December 2004, the banking industry was composed of 26 banks – one state-

owned, thirteen locally owned and twelve under foreign ownership.

In Chile, banks operate within the regulatory framework of The General Banking Law

and The Company Law Nº 18.046, and are regulated by the Central Bank and the

Banks and Financial Institutions Superintendency. The following are among the most

significant regulatory modifications implemented in 2004:

On January 1st, 2004, the criteria for provisions over loan portfolio was modified,

stipulating it must be set up according to the models and methods developed by the

same institutions, which must be approved by the company’s Board of Directors.

19

Since 2004 fiscal year, provisions for risk assets must be presented net of income for

recovery of charged-off loans.

On the other hand, it is important to emphasize the effort made by the Central Bank to

modernize the Chilean financial system’s means of payment which increased the

security and efficiency of payment systems by reducing risk in the banking industry,

placing our country at the level of the developed economies.

Along these lines, one of the Central Bank’s principal reforms was the implementation

of an electronic payment transfer system known as Full Payment in Real Time (LBTR)

whereby financial institutions proceed to liquidate their operations in local currency in

their current accounts with the Central Bank, allowing to carry out inter-bank and third-

party transactions. This system aims to carry out financial institutions’ payments

electronically and in real time, thereby eliminating any physical interchange of

documents.

CORPBANCA’s MANAGEMENT REPORT

In its constant effort to maximize growth, and strongly committed to follow the highest

standards on loan quality and efficiency, CORPBANCA management has continued

throughout 2004 with the implementation of its strategic program, once again

expanding beyond industry levels, with risk index below peer average and a market

leading efficiency level.

Levels of Activity

CORPBANCA’s total loans – net of interbank – reached Ch$ 2,423,646 million as of

December 2004, equivalent to a twelve month 13.2% increase in real terms,

outpacing the industry’s performance of 11.0% during the same period, and

increasing its market share from 6.4% at year-end 2003 to 6.5% at the close of 2004.

The following table shows the evolution of CORPBANCA’s loan growth during the

past six years:

Most dynamic loans, in terms of growth for year 2004 were residential mortgages

(58.8%), foreign trade (25.0%), and consumer loans (22.1%). Past due loans, on the

other hand, reported a 25.9% decrease as a result of ongoing improvement of credit

quality and the strict risk policies CORPBANCA has been applying.

21

Commercial loans reported the portfolio’s largest nominal growth with Ch$ 111,297

million, followed by residential mortgages with Ch$ 65,044 million and by consumer

loans with Ch$ 49,410 million. This expansion is mainly explained by the generalized

lower interest rates observed in the sector, which generated favorable conditions for

borrowing, and CORPBANCA’s actively implemented marketing campaign aimed at

positioning the most profitable portfolio products. The following table shows the

market share evolution for commercial, consumer and residential mortgages loans

during the past five years:

As was mentioned earlier, housing mortgages recorded a 58.8% increase over twelve

months, reaching sales of Ch$ 100,952 million by December 2004, far outpacing the

18.7% expansion registered by the overall industry for the same year. CORPBANCA

was able to increase its market share in this area, from 1.7% in December 2003 to

2.3% at year-end 2004, which is in accordance with the emphasis the Bank’s strategic

framework has placed on this kind of loans.

The strong loan portfolio growth of 13.2% year on year, contrasts with the 8.2%

decrease reported for provisions for loan losses, which reflects the improved credit

quality measured as provisions for loan losses over total loans, diminishing from 2.1%

at year-end 2003 to 1.7% in 2004. This is also associated with an improvement in the

loan portfolio composition since past due loans decreased by 25.9%, representing an

0.8% over total loans, figure that must be compared to 1.2% in December 2003. The

22

concentration of mortgage products and corporate agreements translated into a lower

risk for retail banking.

loan losses over total loans, during the past seven years:

Corpbanca System

The capital increase carried out in late 2002 and the maintenance of the dividend

policy has allowed, notwithstanding loan growth, an expansion of financial

investments, generating a profitable way of capital assignment. Therefore,

investments rose to Ch$ 51,683 million, equating an 11.4% increase over 2003,

principally based on lower credit risk securities and adequate measures to control

interest rate and currency exchange risks.

Funding

In addition to the capitalization on earnings and the Bank’s excellent equity base, the

significant growth in productive assets was funded mainly by deposits and borrowings

obtained on the domestic and foreign market.

Deposits and other domestic borrowings increased by Ch$ 260,994 million or 11.8%,

mainly explained by time and demand deposits that expanded by Ch$ 175,639

23

million, (12.2%), by mortgage bonds which increase by Ch$ 35,417 million (12.4%),

and by a reduction of Ch$ 24,610 million (30.1%), in other local borrowings. Foreign

borrowings grew by Ch$ 58,894 million (36.2%) given the dynamism of foreign trade

and commercial loans in foreign currency.

Added to the above, a noteworthy increase of Ch$ 22,147 million (14.98%) was

recorded by holders of checking accounts and other sight accounts, net of settlement.

This increase is of great relevance as these liabilities make up an important source of

financing that do not generate financial costs.

The combination of the abovementioned growths allowed CORPBANCA to continue

expanding at a low financial costs, standing at 3.5% for time and demand deposits in

local currency, contrasting with 3.9% in the banking industry.

Performance

CORPBANCA’s total net income reached Ch$ 50,767 million as of December 2004, a

decrease of Ch$ 609 million when compared to 2003. The main issue that explains

this reduction is the higher tax provision that had to be constituted (Ch$ 4,385 million)

in order to extinguish the subordinated debt mantained with Central Bank. On the

other hand income before taxes grew by Ch$ 3,776 million over 2003, equating 7.1%.

The following table shows the Bank’s performance in 2003-2004.

Gross margin showed a favorable evolution with an increase of Ch$ 2,947 million.

This growth was generated mainly by the expansion of Ch$ 13,936 million in net

interest earnings, stemming from important commercial growth, in spite of lower

interest rates seen by both the Bank and the financial system.

On the other hand, fee income exhibited a decrease of Ch$ 3,681 million , as a result

of both the contract termination with the Instituto de Normalización (INP) which

concluded in December 2003, as well as lower fee revenue for the concepts of

granting and renegotiating loans.

Net earnings on foreign exchange operations, decreased by Ch$ 7,943 million, due

to new hedge requirements in the Bank entailing a lower use of forward contracts as

the peso appreciated during 2004.

Although operating expenses increased by 5.9% over the previous year, which is in

line with the activity’s growth, CORPBANCA reached an efficiency index of 39.2% at

the end of 2004, consolidating its position as one of the most efficient banks within the

Chilean banking industry and as the most efficient institution among its peers. As

mentioned earlier, in an effort to maximize its efficiency, CORPBANCA has generated

economies of scale through client growth, bolstering initiatives such as productivity

incentives and variable pay based on performance. The following table shows the

evolution of CORPBANCA’s efficiency ratio:

Allowances for loan losses, net of recoveries, diminished in Ch$ 8,060 million

(30.8%), in keeping with the Bank’s continued goal to bring portfolio risk under control.

Expenses for gross provisions for loan losses over total loan portfolio declined from

1.5% at year-end 2003, to 1.1% for 2004.

CORPBANCA, as well as the industry, enjoyed a favorable trend throughout the year

regarding portfolio risk. Nevertheless, for the Bank, a higher concentration in

mortgage loans and pacts (for consumer product and others carried out with large

companies) entailed a relevant risk reduction in retail banking.

On the other hand, past due loans decreased by 25.9% compared to December 2003,

whereby the coverage ratio, measured as provision over past due loans, increased

from 170.8% in December 2003 to 211.8% in December 2004.

Finally, provisions for income tax reached Ch$ 6,512 million, stemming from the

Bank’s continuous loan expansion, increased productivity, improved efficiency and the

sustained growth in the income generating capacity of the Bank, which extinguished,

during 2004, the tax benefit created as a result of the subordinated debt maintained

with the Central Bank. As a result of this, the bank had to constitute allowances to pay

taxes on income, and finally attained a net income of Ch$ 50,767 million for 2004,

very similar to the one recorded last year. Nevertheless, comparing income before

taxes leads to the conclusion that the Ch$ 57,279 million revenue represents a growth

of 7.1% of income generation capacity.

26

Consequently, returns on equity (ROE) varied from 17.4% in December 2003 to

15.6% in December 2004, which is largely explained by the increase in the Bank’s

equity base after the capitalization of 50% of net income generated during 2003 (Ch$

25,062 million) and the effect of the tax provision, therefore, as this effect is corrected,

ROE reaches 17.6%.

Credit Risk

In 2004 classification of CORPBANCA’s domestic credit risk held firm in debt

instruments and shares rating, reflecting its favorable financial and business situation,

in terms of solvency, as well as the good performance obtained and the increase in

market share, while maintaining the portfolio risk under control.

On the other hand, Standard & Poors assigned a classification of BBB+ to

international financing for more than 1 year and an A2 for financing for less than 1

year, while Fitch Ratings granted a classification of BBB+ and F2, respectively. Both

classifications are based on the Bank’s market share growth in the competitive

Chilean environment, on consistently good quality assets indexes and on solid

fundaments of profitability.

ADR Issue

In November 2004, CORPBANCA took a new and significant step forward in its

internationalization process on completing its listing process, allowing it to currently

transact American Depositary Receipts (ADR’s) on the New York Stock Exchange. By

doing so, the bank culminated a process started in November 2003, when the bank’s

shares started trading in the U.S. under Rule 144-A in the OTC market. On that

occasion, in order to facilitate the sale of the controlling group’s foreign partners’

23.3% shareholding, it was decided to place ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange,

27

which took place in November 2003 with the auction of 52,877,267,013 CORPBANCA

shares on the Santiago Stock Exchange at a unit price of Ch$2.75 per share of which

some 26,438,630,000 shares, equivalent to 5,287,726 American Depositary Shares at

a ratio of 5,000 shares per ADS, were placed abroad as ADRs.

In November 2004, the NYSE auctioned 2,701,040 ADRs, each one equivalent to

5,000 CORPBANCA shares on the North American market, representing 5.95% of

total ownership. This will improve share liquidity while a series of information

requirements will be fulfilled, translating into higher transparency, as well as

complying with international accounting principles and corporate governance.

2004 Awards

CORPBANCA received numerous prizes and distinctions for its management, during

2004, among them:

Ranked sixth best Latin American bank by América Economía magazine.

Award for Creativity granted by Diario Financiero journal in September, 2004

Silver Prize for the category Promotions and Sales in the V ACHAP Publicity

Festival

Organizational Structure

CORPBANCA modified its organizational framework during 2004, creating new

business and support areas, setting up the Sales Channel Division and Medium-Sized

Company Business departments, Commercial Mortgage and Financial Risk.

The Medium-Sized Company Business department was created in January 2004

under authority of the Commercial Banking Division with the purpose of stepping up

the generation of business in the commercial banking platform and achieving the

defined service quality standards. This new area is responsible for Leasing and

Factoring departments as well as for the development of new liability products (Cash

Management) and Foreign Trade, among others.

Along this line, and considering that the placement of mortgage products on the retail

market constitutes one of CORPBANCA’s main strategic challenges, the Commercial

Mortgage department was set up under the supervision of the Retail Banking Division.

28

Upon achieving the unification of all risk control units within the Comptroller Division,

CORPBANCA created, in February 2004, the Financial Risk Management office

allowing the Bank to be aligned with the principal international standards applied in

the identification of risks inherent to the management of positions at the Bank.

Lastly, the Sales Channel Division was created concentrating, under its supervision,

Remote Sales Channel, Contracts and Commercial Mortgage areas.

Management and New Products

In July 2004 and once the implementation of the new technological platform IBS was

concluded, the development of a new project, MIS, was started up. It is meant to

improve management control standards. This system, aims to measure the Bank’s

Profitability from the most detailed aspects of the organization (transaction) to the

consolidated level (scorecard), and is once again pioneering the Chilean banking

industry by integrating the latest technology available for measuring institutional

management.

On the other hand, in February 2004, CORPBANCA launched its American Express

card, providing clients with access to a wide range of benefits in more than 65,000

commercial establishments in Chile and worldwide.

Risk Factors

The risk factors associated with CORPBANCA’s business and the banking industry in

general, are mainly four. The first one is inflation, since the economy’s inflation rates

are internalized in the commercialization and price determination of the bank

products. The second critical risk element, is the exchange rate volatility, a key

variable, as it directly impacts revenues derived from the exposure the Bank presents

in foreign currency. On the other hand, the economy’s interest rate also constitutes a

risk factor, since due to its variations, prices of different products adjust towards the

appropriate direction. In this sense, it is interesting to highlight that a relevant

proportion of assets and liabilities are subject to market price adjustments. In the case

of the majority of the operations, it is due to the repricing period while in others, such

as long-term investments, a “mark to market” procedure is used. The fourth factor is

the overall economic performance. CORPBANCA and the banking industry as a

29

whole tend to move in the same direction as the country economy does. In other

words, in times of deceleration, the projected growth of the banking industry also

tends to decrease owing to the elasticity of banking operations. A natural

consequence of this evolution is credit risk, which constitutes one of the main

evaluation criteria when determining a bank’s financial position.

Currently CORPBANCA enjoys a below average portfolio credit risk in comparison

with the financial system. For the purpose of satisfactorily covering the risks

mentioned, the present regulation establishes limits or maximum asset liability gap

risk, which are an integral part of the policy on exposure maintained by

CORPBANCA.

INVESTMENT AND FUNDING POLICIES

As a bank, CORPBANCA is governed by the legal and regulatory restrictions defined

by the General Banking Law. Within this framework, CORPBANCA maintains a loan

portfolio aimed at financing all types of clients, across all business sectors, adequately

combining profitability and risk standards. As an intermediary, CORPBANCA finances

itself by seeking an economically profitable mix, privileging the use of funds at the

lowest possible cost. Given the importance of financial leverage in financial

institutions, one of the Bank’s key concerns is to maintain a satisfactory equity level.

Among the investments geared at maintaining a suitable infrastructure for its business

plan, CORPBANCA has a dynamic program sustained by a combination of its own

resources and rental expenses that have helped the Bank end 2004 as the most

efficient banking institution among its peers in Chile.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Dividend policy established by CORPBANCA and accepted at the ordinary

shareholders’ meeting, entails disbursing 50% of net income charged to the previous

fiscal year. This policy was first enacted in 2002, when disbursements were charged

to earnings from fiscal year 2001. For this concept, at the annual shareholders’

meeting held in February 2004, the bank distributed dividends amounting to Ch$

25,062 million, representing 50% of net income of fiscal year 2003.

The following table shows dividends per share, distributed during the past three years:

MATERIAL EVENTS

During 2004, CORPBANCA informed to the Banks and Financial Institutions

Superintendency the following material events:

1. At the ordinary shareholders meeting on February 20th, 2004 the Board of

Directors of CORPBANCA was renewed, and the following directors were

elected for a period of 3 years:

Full Members: Alvaro Saieh B., Jorge Andrés Saieh G., Carlos Abumohor T.,

Jorge Selume Z., Fernando Aguad D., Odde Rishmague R., Julio Barriga S.,

Hernán Somerville S., René Cortazar S., Francisco Rosende R., and Carlos

Massad A.

Alternate Member: Juan Rafael Gutiérrez A.

2. On September 28th, 2004 CORPBANCA informed the Security and Exchange

Commission (SEC) of the registration of the American Depositary Receipts

(ADRs). This is part of the North American listing process so that

CORPBANCA can constitute itself into an issuing company of internationally

auctioned shares through ADRs. By doing so, the ADR program was modified

in accordance with Regulation S, subject to the Securities Act of 1933, in order

to include the ADRs in the SEC registry. Moreover, it was informed that every

holder of ADRs of Rule 144-A, would be offered to exchange them for those

registered with the Security and Exchange Commission.

37

3. On November 2nd, 2004 CORPBANCA informed the end of the established

period for holders of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) of Rule 144-A to

carry out their corresponding exchange for those ADSs registered with the

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), thereby ending the process and

having exchanged the total amount of ADSs of Rule 144-A.

As a consequence of the exchange, the total ADSs registered ascended to

2,701,040 on November 1st, 2004; each one representing 5,000 CORPBANCA

shares. This total includes the number of ADSs previously issued under

Regulation S, which were also registered with the SEC.

Lastly, the abovementioned ADSs proceeded to be registered on the New

York Stock Exchange (NYSE), which became effective on November 1st, 2004.

By doing so, CORPBANCA shares can now be transacted on the international

stock exchange as ADSs.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Shareholders of CORPBANCA

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CORPBANCA and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements (including the related Notes) are the responsibility of the management of CORPBANCA. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Chile. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management of the Bank, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CORPBANCA and its Subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile and the rules of the Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras.

As explained in Note 2, starting January 1, 2004, the Bank modified the basis for calculation of the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, the Bank modified the income statement presentation of provisions made and the effects of reserves established and released allowances for loan losses.

The translation of the financial statements into English has been made solely for the convenience of readers outside Chile.

CORPBANCA AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003 (In millions of Chilean pesos - MCh$)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Information provided

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting regulations issued by the Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (hereinafter, the Superintendence). Such regulations agree with accounting principles generally accepted in Chile.

The 2003 figures are restated for the change of 2.5% in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Certain reclassifications have also been made for purposes of comparison.

b. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated group (“the Group”) comprises Corpbanca (“the Bank”) and its subsidiaries listed below:

Ownership2004 2003

% %

Corp Corredores de Bolsa S.A. 100.00 100.00Corp Administradora de Fondos Mutuos S.A. 100.00 100.00Corp Asesorías Financieras S.A. 100.00 100.00Corp Corredores de Seguros S.A. 100.00 100.00

The subsidiaries’ assets and operating income represent 2.8% and 9.4%, respectively, of the total consolidated assets and operating income (2.1% and 5.9% in 2003).

All significant balances and transactions among the group’s companies have been eliminated in consolidation.

c. Interest and indexation

The amounts recorded in the balance sheet for loans, investments and liabilities include interest and indexation accrued at year end. However, the Group has taken the conservative position of discontinuing the recognition of interest and indexation on high-risk or past-due loans.

d. Price-level restatement

Shareholders' equity, fixed assets, and other non-monetary balances have been price-level restated, considering the changes in the Chilean Consumer Price Index (CPI). The application of price-level restatement results in a net charge to income of MCh$6,453.1 (MCh$2,294.3 in 2003).

The income statement is not price-level restated.

44

e. Foreign currency

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are stated in Chilean pesos at the exchange rate prevailing at year-end. The December 31, 2004 rate for the US dollar was Ch$559.83 = US$1 (Ch$599.42 = US$1 at December 31, 2003).

The net exchange gain of MCh$1,262.5 in 2004 presented in the income statement (MCh$9,205.4 in 2003) includes recognition of effects of changes in the exchange rate of assets and liabilities in foreign currency and income from exchange operations.

f. Leasing contracts

Finance leasing operations are leasing contracts including a clause granting the lessee a purchase option on the leased asset at the end of the contract.

g. Factoring receivables

Factoring receivables are valued at the amount disbursed to the borrower. The price difference between the amounts disbursed and the actual value of the received is earned and recorded as interest income over the financing period. The grantor is responsible for the payment of loans.

h. Financial investments

Investments in financial instruments with a secondary market held by the Bank are presented at market value in accordance with specific instructions of the Superintendence. Such instructions call for the recognition of the adjustments to market value against income for the year, unless permanent investments are involved, in which case, under certain limitations, the aforementioned adjustments can be made directly against equity in “Fluctuations in value of financial investments”.

The adjustment resulted in a net charge to income for the year 2004 of MCh$449.1 (MCh$713.2 in 2003) which is included in operating income in "Gains or losses from trading securities". For permanent investments, the adjustment resulted in a net credit of MCh$3,929.6 against equity (net credit in 2003 of MCh$38.5 - historical amount).

Other investments in financial instruments are stated at cost plus accrued interest and indexation.

i. Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at price-level restated cost and are shown net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets.

j. Goodwill on investments in related companies

Goodwill on investments in related companies and the premium paid for the acquisition of shares, rights, assets and contracts of the Consumer Credit Division of Corfinsa are amortized over a period of ten years.

The excess price paid as a result of the recognition of the quality of the portfolio purchased from Financiera Condell S.A. is amortized over six years starting August 1, 1999, following instructions from the Superintendence.

45

k. Provisions for assets at risk

The Bank established all provisions required to cover the risk of loss on assets (Note 6), in accordance with the regulations issued by the Superintendence. Assets are stated net of such provisions or are shown as a deduction in the case of loans.

l. Deferred taxes

The effects of deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between tax and book balances are recorded on the accrual basis in accordance with Technical Bulletin Nº 60 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants and its supplements, and with instructions from the Superintendence. According to Technical Bulletin Nº 71 of the Chilean Institute of Accountants, deferred taxes are booked by applying the income tax rate for the year in which the corresponding temporary difference that produced the aforementioned taxes will be reversed.

m. Vacation expense

The annual cost of employee vacations and benefits is recorded on the accrual basis.

n. Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the balance of “cash and banks” has been considered cash and cash equivalents, as per the definition in Chapter 18-1 of the updated Compilation of Regulations for Banks and Finance Companies.

46

2. ACCOUNTING CHANGE

As established in Circular N° 3,189 and 3,246 of the Chilean Superintendency of Banks, starting January 1°, 2004, the Bank modified the basis for calculation of the allowance for loan losses.

These Circulars provide for a substantial change due to the fact that the provisions must be established by applying evaluation models and methods developed by the banks themselves, models and methods which have to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank.

At December 31, 2004 the application of the new models and methods did not have any significant effects on the Bank's income.

As established in Circular N° 3,246 of the Chilean Superintendency of Banks, starting January 1, 2004, the provisions for asset at risk are presented in the Income Statements net of recoveries of written-off loans. For comparison purposes the Income Statement of 2003 was reclassified.

On September 28, 2004, CORPBANCA communicated the following significant event:

Continuing with the listing process in the United States of America for CORPBANCA to be incorporated as a company issuing shares traded in international stock exchanges through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), such ADRs have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). To that end, the ADR plan issued according to Regulation S has been amended in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States of America, so as to include such ADRs in the aforementioned registration with SEC.

Likewise, each holder of ADRs under Rule 144 A will be offered the possibility of exchanging them for those registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On November 2, 2004, CORPBANCA communicated the following significant event:

The deadline stipulated for holders of American Depositary Shares, ADSs, under Rule 144A to change them for those ADSs registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has expired. Thus, the above process has been completed, with all ADSs under Rule 144A having been exchanged.

As a result of the exchange, the total number of registered ADSs at November 1, 2004 is 2,701,040, each representing 5,000 CORPBANCA shares. This total includes the number of ADSs issued previously under Regulation S, which were also registered with SEC.

Finally, these ADSs have been registered with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), coming into effect as of November 1, 2004. Thus, CORPBANCA shares may be traded in international stock exchanges as ADSs.
